Hey, guys Mike here. No list tonight, instead I wanted to make a blog about a question I have been asking myself lately and I wanted to know what you guys think. This is a serious question, not a joke! Last night I was replaying the "No Russia" mission in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and as I mowed down innocent civilians for the sake of my own country, I thought to myself,"In a game it means nothing to kill people! What if I were doing this in real life?" Think about it. When we pull the trigger in any Shooter game we are killing someone, but we don't think of them as people, we think of them as fodder for our Assault Rifle's to feed off of. What would happen if we actually had to do this in real life? Would we feel remorse for our actions? Or like in a game would we get excited at the sight of getting a headshot? This question made me put my controller down and actually think about what I was doing. I am a hardcore shooter fan and have been for the better part of 10 years! Why ask myself this now? I don't know why! All I know is it made me think about that mission and what would happen if it was real and I was the one shooting. Asking myself this question isn't going to make me stop playing my favorite kind of games or anything, its just Food for Thought. So what do you guys think about this? Sorry for the seriousness of the blog I just wanted some other opinions on it!

Thanks for reading guys!

Hey, guys Mike here again to bring you another list and my impressions of Left 4 Dead 2! I hope you enjoy the blog and my impressions!! First here are my impressions of Left 4 Dead 2!

First off this game looks better than the first, I was playing last night with my friend grunt1096 and at one point I noticed that when I cut a zombie with a katana it paused, then the upper part of its body slowly seperated from the lower and its intestines were dangling out of it! Thats what I call attention to detail.:P Its not just the graphics that are improved too, there are also a slew of new weapons to play with and upgrades like laser sights and incenedary ammo for guns! I also noticed that there are a ton of new guns in the game, where there were about 5 different weapons in the first the second has about 20 different weapons in the first 2 levels!!! The level design is also quite good and the environments are creepy and cool! Overall Valve has improved on everything from the first game and created the best Zombie game yet!! My score right now stands at a 9.0/10. I will be writing a review for this game once I complete it!!

So there is my Impressions of Left 4 Dead 2 so far!! Now for My Top 10 Lead Singers of All time!! Enjoy!

Hey, guys its Mike here! Quick blog tonight, to let you guys know that I just got 2 new games, that I'm really excited about! :D I have decided to wait on my Top 200 Songs of All Time list until right after my 100th blog and do some impressions of my latest games played and also to make some smaller lists! I hope you all enjoy the smaller lists and the first one will be up tomorrow night! Anyway now back to the subject of my blog, here are the games I just got on Ebay!

1. Tomb Raider Underworld- I picked it up for $12.50, and it looks great! My friend Grunt1096 recommended it to me and I look forward to playing it! Here is some screens of it!

Looks good right?

2. Left 4 Dead 2- I got this one for $35.00 and I wanted to really get it after Christmas,but I didn't have enough money, but that doesn't matter now cause I just got it! This game was also recommended by Grunt1096 and I'm sure it will be great!

O_o Zombies!

I can't wait to get a hold of both games and I should have them by the weekend! I'm so excited! What do you guys think? Was it worth my money? Let me know by commenting below! Thanks for reading guys!

~Mike 8)

Yo, guys its Mike here again! Well Just to get started, last blog you say what happened with me and my GF, well she wanted to get back together and I didn't :P So that is definately over with :P Anyway time to move on from that and since I got such positive feedback with My Top 100 Games of All Time List, I decided to start another list! This list will focus around my favorite Songs of All Time! This blog will be more massive than the first! How many songs you may ask? 200 Songs will be on my list! Yes thats right, twice as many as my last list!! I hope you all will enjoy it as much as the last and there will be more list to come! Oh and I have something interesting planned for my 100th. blog,but you will have to wait to see what thats all about :P Oh I also wanted to give my impressions on the new Aliens Vs. Predator Demo, that I sownloaded from Xbox Live!

First off the game does not look like this (See Below)

I was expecting amazing graphics,but I ended up being quite dissapointed overall by the graphics. They were bland and not up to par with most good 360 or PS3 titles. Thats not were the dissapointment ended though..... The gameplay works well when you play as the human players,but when you play as the Aliens the controls can get confusing and walking on the ceiling and crawling on the sides of walls is very nauseating! I had to stop playing cause I got motion sick,(something that rarely happens to me!). However this is a very unique experience and Rebellion did a great job of capturing the feel of being hunted and being the hunter. They succeed there,but they fail in to many other areas for the success to matter. I am a huge fan of the movies and I can now say that I wish this title had lived up to its name,but it falls short in to many areas to be worth $60 to most people! Only die-hard fans need apply! My Score of the Demo is a 6.0/10.0!

Well there is the blog for tonight guys! I hope you enjoyed reading it and I really hope you check out the demo for AVP before buying it! Oh and if you missed my #1 game of all time here is a link to that blog :D Thanks again for reading my friends :)

~Mike 8)tntkng's Blog: My Top Game of All Time Is Here!

Now its all going to change:( Oh well...... geuss I just need to find another girl and move on. Still its quite saddening. Sorry for the sad blog,but my friends were to busy to listen and you guys always seem to listen to me so....yeah. Thanks for reading guys, there will be a happier blog tomorrow I Promise!

I Sure hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed sharing it with you guys! I love reading all of your wonderful comments about my lists! It makes me feel like my hard work on the list has been appreciated! If you haven't noticed already there are quite a few amazing games missing from the list! Mass Effect 2, James Bond Nightfire, Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, Super Mario 64, The Sims, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3, and Halo Combat Evolved to name a few! All of these game are amazing and deserve to be on my list,but only one of these earns my top spot hands dows and without a question in my mind! Here's a hint (the game opens with one of the most stirring phrases in games) "War, War Never Changes". If you know what game that quote is from you know what My Best Game Ever is! This game is........

#1- Fallout 3- Xbox 360

Thats right Fallout 3 is by far the best game I have ever laid my hands and eyes on! It is a masterpiece of gaming design that stands tall amongst the greatest games ever made! Everything from Combat to the RPG elements to the FPS gameplay to the art and sound design is simply stunning and all around perfect! This is the Greatest Game I have ever played and No game has yet to change my mind and I doubt any other will! My Score-10.0.

So there it is guys! Fallout 3 is my #1 Game of All Time! The other games I mentioned above were not in the list because they were honorable mentions for the #1 spot! I hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I did! Let me know what you think! Till next time my friends!

~Mike 8)

#10- Ratchet and Clank 2 Going Commando- PS2

By far my favorite PS2 game of All Time! I loved every minute of this amazing game, and it was by far the best Ratchet and Clank game IMO. My Score-9.5.

#9- Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2- Xbox 360

I know that one person in particular won't agree with this choice, but this game is simply amazing! The best multiplayer experience on any console and an Amazing campaign! This is one of the most addictive games I've ever played and I will continue to play it for a long time to come! My Score-9.5.

#8- Assassin's Creed 2- Xbox 360

This game is incredible from what I've played so far! Everything about this game is better than the first and is one of my favorite games ever so far! There are hardly any issues with this game! Amazing graphics, amazing gameplay, and amazing combat, make for one Hell of a game! My Score-9.5.

#7- Grand Theft Auto IV- Xbox 360

GTA IV was just brilliant! Rockstar seems to innovate with every game they make and GTA IV is no exception! Everything about this game was amazing! The voice acting and the story were major standouts and the graphics were incredible! Never has a city been so alive and beautiful as Liberty City! My Score-10.0.

#6- Street Fighter 2- Arcade

Quite simply put, this is the best and most addictive Arcade game that has ever been made! I played this game until I ran out of quarters so many times, I can't even remember! I may have spent a ton of money on it,but I didn't really mind. My Score-9.5.

#5- Batman Arkham Asylum- Xbox 360

What Batman AA at number 5!! Mike has lost it right? Nope! I have been a huge Batman fan since I was 5 and this game captured everything that made the Dark Knight so appealing! For the first time ever a game developer realized Batman for who he was! Batman is a detective and Rocksteady captured that and made one of the most brilliant games EVER! My Score-9.5.

#4- Mass Effect- Xbox 360

Mass Effect told the best story in any Science fiction game ever! There were a few flaws,but when the story, dialouge, combat, and graphics, all mesh together like this, you won't even notice its flaws! This game had me hooked from beginning to end and the choices I made in the game were the hardest I've ever made in any game! My Score-9.5.

#3- Bioshock- Xbox 360

There are hardly words to describe this game! It innovates on so many levels its ridiculous! I absolutely loved everything about this game and its one of my favorite FPS games of All Time!! My Score-9.5.

#2- Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare- Xbox 360

By far my favorite FPS game of All Time! COD 4 MW was simply amazing with its huge set pieces, gorgeous graphics, amazing gameplay and controls, and a tightly woven story full of surprises and memorable moments! Simply put this game is EPIC and a must play for any shooter fan! My Score-10.0.

So there they are guys!! Tomorrow is the day where I reveal my #1 Game of All Time, so make sure to come back and look for it!! Thanks for reading guys!!
