Me and another guy already voted. Plz post ur votes!

I just took this test and these were my results!

You scored 88 Mental Tougness, 47 HitPoints, 76 Tactical, and 71 Teamwork!

I thought that that was a pretty good test! It says to survive, u need a 50 or higher on each to survive, or 3 above 70 and 1 below. That means i would survive! Yay.

If u want to take this test, click here! Be sure to post ur results in the comments section:D

I will now list the top ten shooters that made shooters what they are today. (Note: resident evil, mgs, dmc, etc. are not shooters, they are action adventures.)

• 1. Half-Life
• 2. Doom
• 3. Golden Eye
• 4. Unreal Tourament
• 5. Socom: US Navy SEALs
• 6. Battlefield 1942
• 7. Sytem Shock 2
• 8. Rainbow Six
• 9. Medal of Honor: Frontline
• 10.Halo

I have reached lvl 10 (83%) in just 56 days! Thats pretty fast i think.

On a different note, i beat Shinobi (PS2) last night. The last boss is so incredibly HARD its worthy of CAPS LOCK!!! After 2 hours of hell, i finally managed to finish him. I built a combo of 9 kills with my sword and killed him in one shot. Needless to say, it was the hardest boss fight i have ever trimphed over. I felt so proud of myself for beating him, and like Greg K said in his DMC 3 review, "Its rare that games make me feel special for beating them." Overall, i thought Shinobi was a great game. Check out my review of it for more info.

I also beat DMC 3: SE recently, and that was also fanatastic. I loved every second of it. I beat it on the trickster setting, and i am now currently beating it with the Quicksilver style. I recommend you guys go check this one out!

Peace
