Merry Christmas!!

Hey:D

Just making a quick blog to wish everyone a merry Christmas! I will be gone for part of today and tomorrow so i'm writing this a little early.

And well Happy New Year too, even though that's next week:P

Also, for my next blog i'll post a Top 10 of games i want in 2011, but that will be later...

Thats all, thanks for reading and leave a comment if you want.

Vacations + Finally got a working PS3

Hey people:P

Well, I finally found some time to write a blog, and it is (almost) all good news.

First, i am now out of school for one month! Which means i will have more time to go on GameSpot and probably post in some unions and blogs, just hope i don't become too lazy. I am also working on my future Top Game Lists to post in my blog...

Anyway, in a gaming related note, i finally got my PS3 to work now that i have a new TV:D In case you didn't know i got it a while ago for free but couldn't connect it until now. Unfortunately i only have 3 old games (FIFA 09, NHL 08 and a Ferrari game that i haven't played) but i will try to get more later. My wish list so far consists of Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain:P I know it's not much but if anyone can recommend me good games that are not FPS i'd appreciate it.

I also got an online account, the name is in my GS profile if you want to add me. And speaking about online services, i will probably stop using XBOX Live because my subscription is about to end and to be honest it's way too expensive:P

And that's all for now, thanks for reading and feel free to leave a comment:)

My Top 20 iPad Games 10-1

Hey again everyone

This is the 2nd part of my Top 20 iPad Games list. And like i said in my previous blog, this is a list i made just for fun and i do not have many of the big name titles, but all of these are very fun and addicting After this i am going to do Top lists for every Nintendo and XBOX system and then a big top 100 or 200 games of all time (not counting the iPad games).

Anyway, last time i blogged about positions 20 to 11 of my iPad list, and now i will continue with the top 10. Here's the ranking so far:

  • 20. iShoot 2
  • 19. Cogs HD
  • 18. Touch Hockey Extreme
  • 17. Aqua Moto Racing 2
  • 16. Gravity Hook HD
  • 15. PAC-MAN for iPad
  • 14. Cliffed
  • 13. Real Soccer 2010 HD
  • 12. NinJump HD
  • 11. MultiPong for iPad

And the top ten...

-

10. Fruit Ninja HD Fruit Ninja HD Boxshot
Fruit Ninja is a game that first came out for the iPhone/iPod Touch, but i never wanted to get it until the iPad version came out And it's really amazing, it is unbelievable how a game about slashing fruits can become so addictive, but it does. The game features 3 single-player modes (cIassic, zen mode and the recently added arcade mode), all of them are unique with their different rules and features. It also has an exciting multiplayer, great graphics, sounds and unlockables. So i think it's one of the most complete and fun iPad games and the perfect start for this top 10.

09. Mirror's Edge for iPad Mirror's Edge for iPad Boxshot
This one is an epic game by EA. With a simple gameplay but one of the best i have seen. You have to run to the end of every stage jumping and avoiding obstacles. The visuals and sound in it are also excellent, it has a rather interesting story and well, i just love to play it and it's probably one of the must-have apps for Ipad owners.

08. Pinball HD The Pinball HD Boxshot
You may not know this, but i am a big fan of pinball games And Pinball HD is just the best version of it that i've played. It includes three pinball tables and one more that you can buy through the app. All of them are almost flawless, full of action and with great use of the platform's features. It always feels so good to play and make a high score

07. Tetris for iPad Tetris for iPad Boxshot
Yet another cIassic game that fits perfectly on this system. It's exactly like the original with improved HD graphics, two simple control options and 3 game modes. I think it's one of those games that never get old, every new version of it is awesome to play and this one is not the exception. Certainly one of the best games made for iPad so far.

06. Canabalt Canabalt Boxshot
This one is a tremendous action game. I bought it back when it came out a year ago, and still play it almost every day =D There is not much to say about the gameplay, just run, jump and get as far as you can... and yes, the graphics are horrible but the black/white theme makes the game a little more interesting, along with the good music and the different platforms and obstacles you jump on. There are also daily, weekly, monthly and all time world leaderboards that help make this one of the best titles to play at any time.

05. Real Racing HD Real Racing HD Boxshot
And now we enter the top 5 with a high quality driving game. Real Racing is what its name says, a very realistic car racing simulator that offers fantastic graphics, a great variety of cars and tracks, as well as many difficulty levels. Other cool things in it are multiplayer and the ability to play in 1st or 3rd person view. I could keep talking about how good this game is in every aspect, but it would take me a while so i'll leave it there since i have to write about the other four games =P

04. Paper Toss HD Paper Toss HD Boxshot
Paper Toss is a good game and a kinda humorous app because you are in a normal place like an office or restroom and have to throw paper balls to a trash can with a fan that makes it more difficult. There are several levels where you have the trash can closer or farther and it's incredibly fun, especially when you go on a good streak Of course, the visual and sound effects are perfect too and add to the fun of playing this game.

03. Super Monkey Ball 2 Super Monkey Ball 2: Sakura Edition for iPad Boxshot
Ah, the greatness of Super Monkey Ball This series has been awesome since the GameCube and the iPad game joins that list of memorable games with very well made levels from the iPhone game and some exclusive for the iPad. The controls work really good when you get used to them. And it also includes 4 cool minigames to play alone or with friends. Overall it is one of the best gaming experiences available in the Apple Store.

02. Skee-Ball HD Skee-Ball HD Boxshot
I bet many people do not agree with this one being at 2nd place, but it's very addictive (and i may have used this word too much already, but i just have to). It is like the arcade game, idk how to explain it but everyone must have seen it before... It's simply about scoring points to beat your high score and win tickets to get prizes. It takes a long time to get every prize and after that, the game also has achievements, online rankings and you can also buy different balls and lanes to customize your game. The game in general looks great and is easy to play with lots of replay value. I personally can't leave it every time i start playing it and i think it deserves to be #2 in this list

01. Labyrinth 2 HD Labyrinth 2 HD Boxshot
And finally, my favorite iPad game ever released (sorry, it's not Angry Birds), Labyrinth 2! The amazing action/puzzle game made by Illusion Labs which features tons of levels with a great variety of elements that change the game in many ways. The game idea is really good and HD graphics make it feel even better. You can also create & play your own levels and download other people's level packs so the fun never ends. Levels go from the most simple ones that are very entertaining to the ones that are extremely challenging and frustrating. But it's an almost perfect game that i've played for hours and highly recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to play it.

So with that i end my list, hope you liked it. And i will get to work on my other lists to post them as soon as possible:)

That's all, thanks for reading and feel free to leave a comment with your opinion.

A Little Gaming Update + My Top 20 iPad Games 20-11 (may be a big blog =P)

Hey everyone, just thought i'd make a new blog cause i haven't done one in a while

I thought about an update on my life, but there is nothing really interesting to say >_> so since this is a gaming website i'll write something about the games i've been playing and want to play.

First of all, i have been playing the games i got in the US 3 months ago. Didn't get too far in Tournament of Legends and Mass Effect 2, but i can tell theyre good games for anyone who likes the genres. As for the other three games, WarioWare D.I.Y. has hours of good gameplay and fun that never ends, while Red Steel 2 and Prince of Persia TFS are great experiences full of action and already became two of my favorite Wii games. I think this will be by far the best year for this console

I also downloaded several VC games lately, like Castlevania which is an incredible 2D platformer from a series i really wanted to play and finally got the opportunity, and it didn't disappoint me at all, even though i have to admit some parts were very difficult Other NES games i got are Final Fantasy and Mega Man, loving FF a little more but i've made more progress in MM, which i think has an excellent level design.

In XBOX 360 i have been addicted to FIFA 11 it's incredible how EA Sports makes these games better every year with new features that are very enjoyable, unfortunately i am not able to play online for some reason but the game is still awesome. Also downloaded Sonic 4 Episode 1, a pretty fun Sonic game but i got stuck at some level and haven't played it since then... Been playing a lot of Fable II as well, trying to beat it before buying Fable III

And my most recent purchase is this:

Metroid: Other M Boxshot

Haven't played it yet though, can't wait to get started as soon as i have time


And in case you didn't know, i now have an iPad and i downloaded many games for it. I don't have all the big titles because i have few money for that, but i downloaded lots of awesome apps and games already. So i decided to start my top games of all time list with a Top 20 iPad Games just for fun =) (these won't count for my future Top 100 or 200 Games of All Time List). Well, here it is:

20. iShoot 2 iShoot 2 Boxshot
iShoot used to be one of my favorite iPhone games for both single and multi-player. And this sequel is even better, with nice iPad graphics and controls. It is a tank battle game in which you take turns to shoot and kill the other tanks with a variety of weapons. It is incredibly fun when you play it with 4 people, and this version also has a new campaign mode (well i think it's new:P) that adds more to the fun.

19. Cogs HD Cogs HD Boxshot
This one is an impressive game about sliding tiles to solve different puzzles. Each level is quite unique and some are very challenging. It has many levels, good visuals and sound, various game modes and features that i enjoyed a lot:D

18. Touch Hockey Extreme Touch Hockey Extreme: FS5 Boxshot
The cIassic touch hockey game but in iPad. I don't know what else to say about this one:P but it's also very fun and addictive.

iPad Screenshot 2

17. Aqua Moto Racing 2 Aqua Moto Racing 2 Boxshot
One of my favorite racing games. It doesn't have the best gameplay but good enough to be in this list. It is easy to control when you get used to it, the graphics are ok and it just feels great to race in those cool vehicles and (some) amazing tracks. Also has a good difficulty and length which i believe is good for racing games.

16. Gravity Hook HD Gravity Hook HD Boxshot
This one is just about going up climbing in some ball things:P The great thing about it is how simple it plays and it keeps you going back to beat your high score and get it in the world rankings. Also has an unlockable cIassic mode that is equally simple and fun.

15. PAC-MAN for iPad PAC-MAN for iPad Boxshot
When i first bought this i did not think it would be so good. But the iPad is actually a perfect console for Pac-Man:o This is as great as the original title and has even better controls as well as new achievements and highscores, and some other little details that make it a very interesting app.

iPad Screenshot 1

14. Cliffed Cliffed Boxshot
This is an exciting 2D game where you go down platforms as fast as you can. It has over 20 characters, 3 different backgrounds, 4 difficulty levels, local and online multiplayer, leaderboards and more. All of this makes it one of the best iPad games to pass time and compete against people around the world:)

13. Real Soccer 2010 HD Real Soccer 2010 HD Boxshot
Well, as you may know i am a big soccer fan, and even if there are not many good soccer games for iPad yet i did find one that is decent. Real Soccer 2010 offers several game modes including multi-player, leagues, cups penalties and much more. The experience while playing is also very good, but the controls and visuals could have been better. Overall it's the best soccer game out for iPad with lots of interesting modes and characteristics.

iPad Screenshot 1

12. NinJump HD NinJump - HD Boxshot
NinJump is another simple, but fantastic iPad game. You just climb jumping between two walls, avoiding obstacles and getting power-ups. This is an incredibly fun game and another one that i always go back to beat my previous high score.

iPad Screenshot 2

11. MultiPong for iPad MultiPong for iPad Boxshot
MultiPong is not a very well known game (as far as i know) but is probably the craziest and most original multiplayer game on iPad. It does have a long single player mode but the best way to play it would be with other people. It's like, well... like the old Pong game but with 4 players, realistic graphics, great sound and tons of power-ups that make the ball bigger, faster or just change the stage in some way. It has different game modes too so there is always something to play8)

TOP 10 COMING SOON...

Also, this is more or less how my other lists are going to be. I already have NES, N64 and GameCube lists ready, SNES and Wii almost ready and still working on the GameBoy, NDS, XBOX and X360 lists. I was also thinking about an iPhone list but as you may have noticed, i'm including iPad versions of my favorite games in this list :D

That's all, thanks for reading and leave a comment if you want:)

3 Years of Posting in GameSpot!

Hey everyone:D

The reason why i make this blog is because today, or actually yesterday, was the 3rd anniversary of my first post in GameSpot:o and like some of you may know that's quite an important thing for me:P

And well, since i don't know what to talk about i will just copy what i did last year and post an update of my GS stats:

Also, i know i said in previous blogs that i have almost finished my mega list of the top games of all time. But it's actually taking me more time than i thought, there are just too many games to order:P For now i can just say that it will consist of many lists (1 per system) and at the end i will post the top 200 with prediction game.

And that's all for now. Thank you for reading and leave a comment if you want.

I'm back! + New Games + School -_-

Hey. Just got back from the US:D it was quite fun, even though it was just a short time. I would talk more about it but i'm not really good at explaining things, and i'm a little lazy right now:P

Anyway, i also bought new games, and i will be playing them this weekend so i might still not be very active... I didn't find all of the ones i was looking for, but i think these are pretty good choices:

  • WarioWare D.I.Y. (DS)
  • Tournament of Legends (WII)
  • Red Steel 2 (WII)
  • Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (WII)
  • Mass Effect 2 (X360)

Only tried the first 2 so far, WarioWare DIY is extremely addictive:o and ToL is a decent fighting game with some control issues. I also got Nintendo and Microsoft point cards so i'll download even more games soon, and get to work on my top games of all time list:D

In other news, i will be back to school this Monday:( Hopefully this year will be better than the last one, and i can be active in GS and handle real life at the same time.

And well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading and comment if you want.
