Changed my mind (Next Top 20 List) + GamesSpot greatest hero competition

Hi everyone

like i said i was going to post a new top 20 list of wii games so far. but i have decided to better wait for more titles to come out (and i also need to try Zelda TP:P). So i have a few other ideas and i don't know which one to do first. please feel free to vote and help me decide:P

-Top 20 GameCube games
-Top 20 Mario games:P
-Top 20 Multiplayer games
-Or if you really don't want to see Nintendo, i could make an XBOX/X360 list :p


In other stuff, what do you think of the GameSpot Greatest Videogame Hero competition? i'm happy that Yoshi advanced to round 2:D hope he can make it far. And my predictions weren't too bad for Round 1a i got 15/16. Round 1b surprised me a little though i am having 3 wrong predictions :O (but the MC loss to Bub & Bob still doesn't convince me, i beleive there's some cheat)

Well that's all:P thanks for reading and comment if you want

2 years :O

well, looks like two years have passed since i started posting here in GameSpot, and i still feel like if it was yesterday:P i am really happy with what i've done here it is a really fun site... though i've started to get bored lately >_> Anyway i guess this is a good time to make a stats blog :p so here they are my numbers of these 2 years...

i still really need to write a review and update my images:P Also here are my top 5 important things i have achieved in GS:

5. Reaching level 37 (my favorite one)
4. Hosting two successfull MSC and SSBB tournaments (that was what i wanted to do since i joined:P)
3. Reaching 40k posts
2. Starting and leading one of the best unions in gamespot =D
1. Making lots of good friends:D (really, after all i wouldn't be writing this blog if it wasn't for you:P)

And finally, i just want to announce that my next top 20 list (wii games so far) will be done soon. i also want to do other lists like for different systems, or maybe lists that don't exactly feature games, like top items, stages, etc. i am also planning some blogs with my GS history but not too sure about that...

Thank you everyone for reading this blog, comment if you want

Top 20 Racing Games 5-1 (and prediction results) + Level 37

The 4th and last part of my list is here:o. Below are my top 5 racing games of all time, enjoy:P


THE LIST 5-1

05. Mario Kart 64 (N64) Mario Kart 64 Boxshot
My Score: 9.3/10
it was one of the best games on the N64, mariokart 64 always brings great memories to me since it was the first mario kart I actually played and started to love the series. This game is just fantastic like all the others in the series and totally deserves a place in this top 5.

04. Mario Kart DS (NDS) Mario Kart DS Boxshot
My Score: 9.5/10
what can I say:P Nintendo never fails at making these games, mario kart ds is not an exception and actually my favorite game in the system. It is incredibly fun, also introduced online and other good game modes.

03. F-Zero X (N64) F-Zero X Boxshot
My Score: 9.5/10
this game never gets old. 30 player races are epic, perfect length and difficulty and some awesome characters make it one of the best of all time, even if the graphics aren't great and it has other little mistakes. I love this game and have played it a lot, even now I'm playing it in the wii vc :D

02. Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (GC) Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Boxshot
My Score: 9.5/10
double dash was one of the most fun games I have ever played. The idea of 2 characters per kart is cool and the gameplay is crazy like all the mario karts :P. It also has some things like the all-cup tour that should have been kept in the series IMO.

01. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) Mario Kart Wii Boxshot
My Score: 9.6/10
mkwii is simply my favorite racing game of all time, because it has all the fun of the mario kart series plus a bunch of new characters, karts, the addition of bikes and many new features such as online, which adds hours of fun and is one of the best in Nintendo games.

:D?

Top 20 Racing Games 10-6

Here's the third part of my list:D from #10 to #6. It's getting close to the top positions:o Like always i hope you enjoy it and remember this is just my opinion...


THE LIST 10-6

10. F-Zero (SNES) F-Zero Boxshot
My Score: 8.5/10
The first game of this awesome series, one of the Nintendo masterpieces and an impressive game with all the good elements from f-zero I really liked it and got me to the other games in the series.

09. Sonic Riders (GC) Sonic Riders Boxshot
My Score: 8.6/10
This game was actually very good, all the cool Sonic characters in their own racing game. The races were entertaining and I liked to play this game a lot… I can't explain, it was just too good:P

08. F-Zero GP Legend (GBA) F-Zero GP Legend Boxshot
My Score: 8.8/10
this is such a fun and addictive game:o it has hours of fun and it's perfect for a handheld system. I almost never heard about it, but I can say it was one of my best decisions to buy this game and I recommend it if you like racing. It's a good addition to the F-Zero series.

07. Need for Speed Underground (GC) Need for Speed Underground Boxshot
My Score: 8.9/10
I think this was the first NFS game that I played… yeah, an excellent racing title with good graphics and more, it is also one of the top games of the genre:D.

06. Diddy Kong Racing (N64) Diddy Kong Racing Boxshot
My Score: 9.0/10
another good game, this was never as good as mario kart, and at times looked like it was trying to copy it but it's really a unique and very fun game with interesting features and racing elements.

Thanks for reading, expect the top 5 and prediction results in two days, and comment if you want

Top 20 Racing Games 15-11

Hi:P

This is the second part of my top 20 racing games of all time list, with positions 15 to 11. Hope you enoy it, and remember this is just based on my opinion of how fun the games are :p


THE LIST 15-11

15. Crash Tag Team Racing (GC) Crash Tag Team Racing Boxshot
My Score: 8.0/10
this, in my opinion, is the craziest kart game ever made, and one of the best too. You can combine two cars in a race to form a completely new one, and do lots of other weird stuff I can't explain:P it has a nice idea of a game, though not the best it is one of the most enjoyable of the genre.

14. Diddy Kong Racing DS (NDS) Diddy Kong Racing DS Boxshot
My Score: 8.1/10
this was a DS remake of the amazing diddy kong racing of the N64, and along with all the fun and improvements it had, it added online which I thought was a very good option and made it more interesting, really good game for a handheld:).

13. F-Zero GX (GC) F-Zero GX Boxshot
My Score: 8.4/10
the only major problem I had with this game was the extremely hard difficulty, F-Zero GX is one of my favorite games ever it is really a challenge to beat but incredibly fun and great to pass time. I love it like most of the f-zero games I have played :D.

12. Kirby Air Ride (GC) Kirby Air Ride Boxshot
My Score: 8.5/10
I personally think this was an underrated game. The different game modes, the gameplay and more made it a really fun game to play either alone or in multiplayer. It was a great title, and one I would really like to see have a sequel:o.

11. Super Mario Kart (SNES) Super Mario Kart Boxshot
My Score: 8.5/10
super mario kart was the game that started everything, the mario characters in a competitive racing game with simple gameplay and crazy stuff that makes it more interesting:P One of the best Mario games in history.

That's today's part of the list:) please leave a comment with your opinions if you want. The next part will be posted in 2 days, and in 4 days i'll post the final part and prediction contest results.

Top 20 Racing Games 20-16 + New Emblem :O

It's finally here! :P

I'll start with the first 5 games of my list, from 20th to 16th. Remember that this is just my opinion and i put the games i have played and liked, and there can be various games of the same series... i will post each game in its position, then my score of the game and a little comment (except for 19 and 20, i was already too lazy:P and i thought i would just write the same things as in other games)


THE LIST

20. Banjo Pilot (GBA) Banjo-Pilot Boxshot
My Score: 7.0/10


19. Crash Nitro Kart (GBA) Crash Nitro Kart Boxshot
My Score: 7.0/10

18. Need for Speed Carbon (Wii) Need for Speed Carbon Boxshot
My Score: 7.4/10
NFS carbon was one of my first games for wii, I found it really good even though I expected it better. But it is an exciting game I never regret buying it:)


17. Burnout Revenge (XBOX) Burnout Revenge Boxshot
My Score: 7.8/10
I actually found this game while making the list, I remember playing it and it was one of the coolest experiences I've had with a game that isn't from Nintendo :o:P just awesome racing, it was good in almost every aspect of the game and I couldn't leave it out of my list.

16. Mario Kart Super Circuit (GBA) Mario Kart Super Circuit Boxshot
My Score: 8.0/10
the place in which I put this game doesn't really show how much I like it:P there are just better ones, but mksc is one of the best and most addictive games ever. It was great like all the mario kart series and had some of the best gameplay in… gaming :p.

That's all for today, hope you like it and expect the next part in 2 or 3 days...


NEW EMBLEM :O

In other news, i just noticed i have this emblem in my GS profile :o.
Not sure if i got it today but it would make sense, at least it was until today that i noticed it:P it's really cool to see a new emblem in my profile, even though i don't really care for them much:P

Like always, thanks for reading, please tell me your comments, opinions, complains or whatever you think of my list:P

My Top 20 Racing Games... (the prediction contest is back)

Hi everyone

Like i said in my last blog, i am returning to make these "Top 20 lists" now that i have some free time. Now it's time for my top 20 racing games of all time, i'm doing this because racing is my favorite genre and there are many games i would like to give a mention.

I won't start posting the list until i come back from my vacations in 2 weeks though, the list is already made and i'll post it in 4 different blogs... But before, you can participate in my prediction contest:D (or at least tell me what you think of the idea:P)

I made this in my top 20 NDS games, and it worked fine. Now i am doing it with the top 20 racing games. The rules are simple:

To participate, leave a comment and say up to 20 games that you think will be on the list and what places. Note that you don't need to predict all the games, you may say as many as you want and you'll get more points if you get the positions correct.

PREDICT 1 GAME THAT WILL BE IN THE LIST = 1 POINT | PREDICT THE EXACT POSITION OF A GAME = 3 POINTS. So try your best prediction;) i'll announce winners and scores in the last blog of the list.

Also remember that this is a list of the games that i enjoyed the most, so if you know me well you will do good in the prediction:) And there can and will be more than 1 game of the same series.

That's all, thanks for reading and comment if you want
