Resident evil 5 at last

So after getting paid from my weekend only job, it was finally time to get my hands on the popular, massively sucessful Resident evil 5. While i personally think its a bit overated like so many other games are its still a fantastic game. Its much more immersive than resident evil 4 because it takes away some of the puzzles and back tracking and trades it in for more action. Its better to play co-op because your partner can be very stupid, and im a bit skeptical about a few other changes of gameplay. About 3/4 intothe game they started giving the zombies guns and it starts playing like a slower gears of war where you have to hide behind walls and shoot only when they stopped shooting. Theres also a boss fight were you just run away for seven minutes and another where its almost entirely made out of quicktime events. Even with these nitpicks though its still a fantastic game, its a little short but its made up for by alot of replay value. Im aand lmost done with the story mode and im considering doing a review of it in the future.

Guess what i found?!

Ive been looking for this game for like 7 months. I finally found conkers bad fur day for only 20 bucks. This game is really rare ( seriously look on ebay theyre selling it for like 70) and ive been trying to get a hold of it.I love what ive played so far. Its fun, challenging, great looking and hilarious. Definitly deserves its M rating andi cant wait to fight a certian singingboss, if you know who im talking about:)

Game related collectables part 2

Withwhat has been a busy week of homework, jobs and housework, not much as been going on for me in the gameworld but since i got positive feedback from my game related collectables i decided to upload some more. Id call this part 2 and its still something ive really grown proud of. Even non gamers friends have said this is an impressive collection and i hope you continue to enjoy seeing as much as i enjoyed showing it to you. Enjoy

Also i finished paynig off my house debt in animal crossing finally.

Game related collectables

We all play games, but i like to follow the merchandise of games too. From action figures, to keychains, to candy despensors. I uploaded a few images of them. Hope you think theyre cool:)

Overall GDC opinions

GDC is now over, everyone has given theyre presentations, awards have been awarded and new games have been announced. I can say im satisfied, not very satisfied, just plain satisfied. On live looks like an interesting concept that could bring a revolution to gaming ( reminds me of the phantom if anyone has ever heard of that system). A 3rd party company is attempting to bring motion controls to the xbox, many fansinating interviews, and what most of my friends here are talking about: The legend of zelda spirit tracks.

To be honest im more excited for punchout right now, because its a series we havent seen in over 15 years. Gameplay footage shown at GDC brought back alot of nostalgia, they even kept thatoriginal sound of them falling when you knock them out.

As for zelda, im under the impression its phantom hour glass on land. Of course theyre not gonna change a formula that isnt broken so this is a good thing and im really excited. I just hope they dont do another temple like the ocean temple in phantom hour glass.

GDC is here

So if im correct the game developers conference starts tommorow! Anyone have any games theyre going to release more info on? or any games you predict theyll announce?

Wii: I can see either some pikmin 3 or a star fox wii. I bought the arwing in animal crossing and it plays part of a song i never heard before....a hint maybe?

PS3: God of war 3 info, nuff said

Xbox 360: I dont really know about this one, so much hype was built on resident evil 5 that i havent heard about any other game evenAFTER its release. How bout rare annoucne a conkers bad fur day 2 or the original on xbox live.

I dont want to say much, i have a feeling that we can guess one thing and the'll end up showing us another, then throw in a couple fps's in there.

New review and...

After what was almost 6 months. I finally have a new review up. Its of deadly creatures. Check it out if you want.

If you own animal crossing city folk and have registered me ( i know a few have) id like a quick chat. I was wondering if i could visit your towns soon. See i usually only have one system online at a time ( long story) but since i got guitar hero and resident evil 5 coming soon. I was hoping to visit your towns, have some fun, get some fruit, and work together to catch those bees before i switch consoles.

PS. that also explains why my xbox gamertag hasnt gone up inpoints, it hasnt had any online connection. My real gamerscore is now 8600

Ok.....NOW im worried about sonic

For the past few years sonic has been on the slippery slope. For the most part ive been able to overcome many problems of sonic games and enjoy them none the less. But now the one thing thats putting my hope in sonic is now in jepordy. Even though he hasnt always been great, hes done the best on Nintendo consoles. Secret rings was rated decently and i loved that game, unleashed wii version was proven superior due to better controls and less glitches and the sonic rush series is far greater than the sonic rivals series. But now sonic and the black knight is recieving very low ratings. Only 10 reviews or so have been released and several are below a 5. Im still planning on playing the game but still....theyre not giving him new running shoes like he needs, theyre just making him carry more weight.

Mediocore gaming.

We all have our own opinion on games. We love games, we hate games, loved the hyped ones, sometimes hated the hyped ones in which people go " DUDE WHY DONT YOU LIKE THIS GAME?! ITS LIKE THE BEST GAME!" But there are some games that dont get alot of attention that are neither loved nor hated. Its mediocore, from 4s to 6s, we play the good over the bad. So what kind of medicore games did you really enjoy? ones that u wouldnt care about what reviewers said cause you had so much fun with it. I can name a few from all sorts of generations

Eternal champions ( sega genisis)

Chameleon twist, Glover, Ms Pacman( N64)

Rayman arena, Pacman world 3, Mario party 5, Mario party 6, Shadow the hedgehog, Wario world, kirby air ride, crash tag team racing, frogger...cant remember the subtitle(gamecube)

Bomberman max 2, banjo pilot ( GBA)

Rayman DS, Yoshi touch and go (DS)

Sonic riders zero gravity, rayman raving rabbids 2, excite truck, mario and sonic at the olympics (Wii)

The list goes on but i at least enjoyed them over their flaws ( from to short, to not enough modes, to glitchy) Soif your proud enought to admit theres some medicore games you enjoyed rather than just going with the critic flow then id love to hear about those games.

Gamextraviganza

3 purchases for me lead to 3 big steps in my gaming collection. 1st up

My 1st sony system. The Ps1 of course, i decided to get it because i never experienced the better years of crash and spyro. I had a few of their GBA adventures and the legend of spyro triliogy was decent but i never experienced the true greatness of either character. So far i only got spyro 2 but i forgot to get a memory card so i cant start playing it yet ( or at least not with saving)

Next up is my 1st true guitar hero experience. I bought guitar hero 3 legends of rock. I owned the ds version but what i mean by true experience is this is the 1st time i own one of the guitar controllers. When ever i played at friends house co-op and such ( or in these days ROCKBAND) i could only play on normal. Now i can finally practice hard mode and using that 5th button on the guitar.

Biggest moment of all is that i found Sonic and Knuckles on the genisis, it was this alone but also the fact that this is my 250th game! To me that feels like a big step, just like when i got my 100th videogame.

On a small note i beat deadly creatures and i recommend at least a rent.
