New games to purchase

well im going to start writing these again........

since im leaving town this week for about a week and a half on a long plane ride over seas followed by long car rides and cruise ship nights....a new DS game is in order

my choices come down to Henry Hatworths puzzling adventure and Rhythm Heaven....not sure which i get but we'll see....if you have an onpinion just PM me and we'll talk

i recently got N+, Advance wars days of ruin, and new supermario bros so those 3 games plus my new one should get me through the trip succesfully

Boom Headshot ...........and more randomness :)

So, like a few others here on GameSpot, I am bored There are few games coming up that have truely caught my eye, or am I raving, fever ridden and salavating at the lips to rush out and buy anything at the moment. Ive already got Mario Kart Wii, boom blox and SINS OF A SOLAR EMPIRE (i would reccomend it), but nowhere seems to have it at the moment, and I'm waiting until Spore comes out to buy a new game. The only games i think i will get until christmas is Spore Star Wars the Force Unleashed, and ROCK BAND 2!!!!!!!!

Well I've been thinking of a few things, but I don't really want to cram everything into one massive blog. That would just make your head explode! But here are a few ideas:

1.review some games

2.create some sort of tournaments

3.just see what you guys want me to blog about :)

I'd like to hear what you'd like to read. Or if you've got even better suggestions then let me know! I'll follow on this blog with something awesome. That's a promise

Boom Blox

BOOM BLOX

Boom Blox does what soooo many other Wii games tried to do. They tried to be realistic , have SHARP motion control, Great multiplayer, Great create mode, Great all around enjoyment... yet so few actually succeded.

Boom Blox took me and many others completely by suprise, this game look kiddish (it is to a certain extent) not fun to the narrow minded and only for people with lots and lots of patiense.... this is not true the game is for all to enjoy and all to love. its a bit kiddish but fun for everyone and you dont have to be the smartest person in the world either.

THE GOOD:

1.Sharp motion control that doesnt go wack!

2. over 300 levels to play and you can edit EVERY SINGLE ONE!

3. Lots of different weapons to choose from // lots to unlock!

4. an amazing create mode which lets you do all most anything you can think of (check YOUTUBE) includig editing already made levels!

5. lasting apeal the game is not going to end infront of your eyes and end up in the bookshelf // you can push yourself to get gold and unlock new weapons and multiple difficulty modes for explore!

6.PHYSICS SYSTEM this physics system is amazing it uses the ones they use in hard core shooting games to make sure everything happens like it should!

7. great multiplayer you can play coorperatively or against people in games like fortress where you are trying to knock down other peoples castles:)

THE BAD

1. this may sound weak but if played for over an hour your arm will get a little....tired

2.when playing with 4 people sometimes the wii doesnt pick up you aimer for 2-3 seconds (doesnt matter much)

3. physics system is so real that sometimes you will miss 1 gem block and all you have to do is play the game the EXACT same way and the blocks MIGHT just fall the way you want them too

ALL AROUND SCORE = 9.4

Wii Ware

As I quickly sat down and opened up my new issue of EGM 1 sole thing caught my eye. No it was not GTA4 or Metal Gear Solid 4, but it was Wii Ware.

Lately, more and more magazines websites and books have been talking about Wii Ware and i had never really understood it.I didnt know if it would be something like the amazing Xbox live arcade or just more stuff for the Wii Virtual Console. The games that it started talking about were Tetris Alien Crush Bomberman (looked like the Xbox live one) Sonic and many more. While reading about bombmerman it really started to make me think it was something like the Xbox live arcade.

Sadly it did not completely explain what the whole Wii Ware thing was so i turned to the internet (as always). As it turns out, it will be something VERY similar to the Xbox live arcade and will youse points and credits the purchase them. Lots of these games will holf WIFI like bomberman (YAY) and may enable talking features.

Something else that I had really found enteresting was the Nintendo Channel which has already been released in Japan (ugh) and seemed to just give info and user ratings on games. Once again on the computer I found out that it is a channel that you can get FREE from the Wii shop channel that will let you DEMO games to see if you like them and even find videos and look and peoples reviews on the game. So no more WOW this game SUCKS, its more like WOW this demo SUCKS. So just dont buy that game. On further review it says that thes will be released in the US on May12, and in Europe on May 30 (ha)
