Games That Changed The Industry #5

Hey, Guys! Mike here tonight, to bring you the first game of my 5 part series highlighting Games that Have Changed the Industry. So without another delay I bring you #5 in my list! This game is.......

#5- Resident Evil 4- Gamecube, Playstation 2, and PC.

Not only was Resident Evil 4 a great game, it brought innovation on such a high scale that its gameplay elements are still being put into games now! The "over the shoulder" camera angle was innnovative and has been implemented in great games such as: Gears of War, Mass Effect, Dead Space, and so many other amazing games! Resident Evil's horror elements were also in full swing and the way that you had to conserve you ammo, gave you something to think about each time you fired a shot or bought a new weapon! Never have I felt this in any other game I have played! These are just a few of the innovations that made RE4 an amazing game and one that changed the industry and the way we play games today! My hats off to you RE4 for making a lasting impression on the gaming industry!

So there is my #5 pick guys! What do you think? Good choice? Bad choice? Innovative? What are your thoughts on my pick here? Let me know guys! Thanks as always for reading and I hope you enjoyed it! :D

WoHooo Party. :P I also now have 200 friends,(popular aren't I):P I also just got to level 64 in Call of Duty MW2! Only 6 levels from my first Prestige baby!! Ok, now back to the blog! I decided today that I wanted to revisit the first blog I ever made here! It was made all the back in October and it only got one comment! The person who commented on my first blog was......My best friend here ShootumUP26! Yep, he was one of my very first friends and he was the only one to comment on my blog! So thanks Ryan! Anyway here is my first blog "word for word"! I hope you enjoy it! :D

Title- "Cla$$ic Games with Crappy New Sequals or Remakes"

Hey, gamers tntkng here starting my weekly blog. Have you ever played a cla$$ic game and then be dissapointed when the sequal or remake came out? Common offenders of this are: Bionic Commando, Alone in the Dark, Wolfenstein, Perfect Dark Zero, and Turok. The originals were cla$$ics and some revolutionized the way we play games today, but the less than average remakes or sequals seem to me to diminish the reputation of these cla$$ic franchises. Perfect Dark first came out on the Nintendo 64 and was one of the best FPS games of its generation, however the remake was a mess of tired FPS gameplay elements and weak graphics. Turok was a cla$$ic PC shooter and immediately made me a fan of FPS game, but after playing the sequal last year I was dissapointed that there was such little polish was given to the game. The game was not bad,but it could have been better. Alone in the Dark was a cla$$ic and inventive game with a scary as hell atmosphere. The remake is among my worst games of all time, it was just a mess, the controls didn't work, the graphics were bad, and the combat and driving were just broken. Is this the way to treat remakes and sequals of cla$$ic games that were loved by so many? I don't think so. How long have fans waited for a great Spyro or Crash Bandicoot game? Well thats it for this week's blog, if you liked it check out next weeks. Thanks,tntkng.

So there it is! What did you guys think of it? Have my blogs gotten better? Thanks for reading guys! :)

In Hell There is a Hole to Tokyo That Leads to a Baseball Field........

Hey, guys Mike here! Sorry for the total lack of blogs this week,but I have been either really busy or not feeling well enough to spend the time on a blog. Anyway getting to the title of My blog here (similar to the one my friend grunt1096 had) I will be giving my impressions of some recent game demos I have played, over the last week! So lets get right to it!

First up we have Dante's Inferno! At first I wrote this game off as a God of War/Devil May Cry clone,but truth be told, thats not a bad thing! Its a great game and a really good alternative for the 360 owners out there that can't get God of War! I have to say the cutscenes look great,but overall the graphics are not the best. The Art Styl* is great however and it more than makes up for the graphics! The Combat is also incredibly gruesome and satisfying! Overall Dante's Inferno is a good game from what I played,but it doesn't innovate when it should. My Score-7.5.

Next Up is Army of Two: The 40th. Day! I was really excited to play this game,but as soon as I started moving my character around it went downhill. All my excitement diminished immediately. The movement is very clunky and the aiming is slow. I also had problems with the way the cover system was set up, you click the left thumbstick up to move into cover. (this is not a smart way to do a cover system) However I did like the weapon variety and customization a lot! Overall I was very dissapointed in the demo. My Score-6.0.

Now for the last and most enjoyable demo I played, MLB 2K10! I have been a fan of Baseball and an avid player since I was 5 years old and my love has extended into the world of Baseball sims. I have not however been impressed by a Baseball sim since MVP Baseball 2005, this game may just change that! This demo featured 3 innings of play where you can play as The New York Yankees or The Philidelphia Phillies. I chose to play as my favorite team (the Yankees) and I was off! First I noticed how much easier it was to pitch (a major problem with the 2K baseball series) and I loved the change! The hitting was equally as fun and exciting! As far as the graphics go, The character models looks quite good,but the rest of the game doesn't look as good. It still looks great, its just not amazing! Overall I am really looking forward to this game and I was very impressed by this demo! My Score-8.5.

So there is tonights blog guys! Hope you enjoyed it and as always I appreciate you guys reading. :)
