Hi my name is Gabe Newell the fat hypocrite: The Valve Corporations awesome game

Hi my name is Gabe Newell the fat hypocrite: The Valve Corporations awesome games



See this man he said Ps3 is one of the worst consoles well guess what he did at E3? Guess!!!! He walked up on stage and said it is one of the most innovative consoles of all time. Well Gabe I am a Ps3 fan you better have a damn good explanation on why you just turned of to the Ps3 side of the force. He founded Valve in 1996 and every game they made was a critical success. What is the secret? Eating Twinkies as brain food? Who knows but they make damn good games.

Box art for Blue ShiftThere first game was Half-Life and to me, the game that made me want to use a crowbar as weapon of choice. This was there first game and first big success and they moved on to greater games later but let's stick in the half-life era first. After this amazing game they mainly worked on spin-offs a few of which was worked on by Gearbox Software which created one of my personal favorites Borderlands. They notably developed the expansion pack Opposing Force and Blue Shift.Then came others like Half-Life: Decay. As you can see many people took a liking to this franchise and set off 2 companies to do greater things.

Half Life 2 came to the gaming scene 5 years and 40 million dollars later. It was a instant success. They released 2 episodes so far 1 and 2 and still working on episode 3 (get on with it already). It had a intense multiplayer better graphics (of course) and well, better everything. I really can't say more about this awesome game.

After a long time Valve came out with there next big thing, Portal. This game was so unique I was drooling. It was funny, unique and offered a new first-person puzzle generation. It felt good watching Valve's success and Gabe's weight grow to impossible reaches. With portal what could Valve possibly usher in next?

Left 4 Dead was a huge success for avid gamers and people who like killing things without guild like how Gabe killed that poor yodel without any remorse. This is where I got angry at Gabe and when he started to fully criticize Sony. When there was no Left 4 Dead on the Ps3 I was mad but I certainly believed the hype.

Soon Gabe came to his senses at E3 2010 when he gave us a first look at Portal 2 at the Sony press conference with steam capabilities. I did cry a little bit and was happy that Gabe said sorry. So I forgave Valve for the torture of Left 4 Dead and moved on.

Thanks for reading.

Bad reviews: Are they really that bad?

Bad reviews: Are they really that bad? (first time grammar may be off) Recently Avatar: The (BAD) Game sold 5.5 million copies. My problem is what person in there right mind would get this. Actually a lot of people, many people have an OPINION and so people may still like it. In my previous post I said I liked Lost Planet 2 so anyone who is out their and likes a bad game REJOICE! First things first, A bad game could be a bad game but you may never know what experience you might have with it. I thought Lost Planet 2 would be bad but I loved it thanks to a person at GameStop who told me get it and I listened. Listen to people who have the same taste as you go online or to the store and ask. For example I asked the guy high customization, awesome story, RPG aliments and I got Lost Planet 2. Secondly, you never know what you may like or even not like. Did you ever hear about COD Modern Warfare 2? I hated it with a passion and where I live I get annoyed for it a lot of times I get "Wow you must like final fantasy" So? "HA you don't have live and don't have COD 6" So? See what I mean these people go with what I call popular gamer syndrome. This it how it happens one popular kid gets a system then a game then soon follows and a chain reaction happens like Red Dead Redemption came out and my friend got it so others followed and I said no I have my opinion and you should to. Finally, Bad games that got bad reviews most of the time isn't the companies fault. They intend to make a good game and have an idea but they never would expect it to be bad they love there art and we should to. Recently Bethesda released Rogue Warrior a VERY BAD game that is now $20.00 they never thought it be bad and we should not say anything. Another example is Final Fantasy: Dissidia (Which I own) this game got so-so reviews and personally I liked it. That is because it an omage to fans so they can see how the universe of Final Fantasy will connect. Bad games are they good or actually bad no one may ever know. But games are games and companies are companies if you like it you like don't listen to people listen to what you want the reviewers can make sense but you may never know how you could feel about this issue.
