GAME OF THE YEAR...





Uncharted is the best game I played all year. The graphics, sound, and game play are the best I've experienced all year. The game is a bit on the short side, around 8-10 hours but there pure bliss. This game really shows what the Playstation 3 is capable of. The bright colors, tropical forests, and gorgeous vistas, really show off your HDTV (720p-1080i). If you don't have this game and have a PS3 your nuts by not buying it. Uncharted is the Gears of War for PS3, it shows that the PS3 is truly the power-house Sony said it was. Uncharted is a really great game and its a shame it didn't sell as many copies as it should of.

Best Shooter

Call of Duty 4

Call of Duty 4 is the Best Shooter of the Year. The is single player is awesome, from sneaking missions, to sniping missions, to guns blazing. The single player is one of the best in a shooter, and I believe all gullied up is the best mission in any single player game, but where the game shines is multiplayer. COD4 rivals the likes of Socom for best multiplayer. The ranking system is the coolest part of COD online, every time you go up you get something like a gun or new challenges, so it keeps the experience fresh. Overall great game for any system. But wait until the patch to pick this one up!



Hardest Game of the Year


Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Ninja Gaiden Sigma was truly the hardest game of the year. The challenging bosses, distant save points, and low health potions will stretch your patience to the limit. This game was also gorgeous and at the time showed why the Playstation 3 was going to be a graphical powerhouse! Ninja Gaiden runs at 1920x1080 60fps (1080p). This game is hard, beautiful, and a great reason to get a Playstation 3!


Riskiest but a good change to the series

Socom US. Navy Seals
Tactical Strike

Socom Tactical Strike is a awesome game for the PSP! This is the first Socom game that is made by Slant Six. Instead of going the way that Zipper was heading Slant Six made Socom Tactical Strike a Strategy game much like Full Spectrum Warrior. This game has amazing graphics for a PSP game and rivals the graphics found in Socom 2 (PS2). Socom TS is a great game but isn't really a portable game,with long missions its not very good to play on the bus to school or in study hall, since you cant play a little and shut it off, unless you want to put the PSP into sleep mode, which is a nice feature but I wouldn't do that since the PSP is one hot piece of hardware. Kidding aside if your a PSP owner and liked Full Spectrum Warrior you should do yourself a favor and pick this one up, or at least try the demo over here.



Best Long Running Series


Half Life Series

With the Orange Box coming out recently I noticed how awesome and realistic the Half Life series is. Half Life Games are beautiful in a realistic way, unlike in Gears of War where everything is bumpy and shiny, the Half life series takes everything realistically instead of huge monuments and stuff like that there are brick houses, instead of some crazy assault vehicle you get a beat up car or a junky dune buggy. Also the voice acting and story line are top notch and deserve more credit. These are nice touches that make the game enjoyable. So check out the Orange Box and find out for your self if you haven't done so yet!

Best Voice Acting


Heavenly Sword

Heavenly Sword is the first game of the trilogy to appear on the PS3 and it was a sight for sore eyes. Basically pulling the PS3 from the slump it was experiencing and pretty much fulfilled the hype it had unlike Lair which should be getting better here soon. Heavenly Sword was short but it was great, the voice acting was phenomenal . The voice actors were very believable and passionate about what they were saying. The game overall was very good and was different that what was currently available. This is a game you should most defiantly check out!

Holloween, opps I mean Halloween Reveiw


Since this Blog is things I like and Dislike I think I should do a review of the new Halloween movie by Rob Zombie. When the movie starts you can immediately tell this is made by Rob Zombie. In the first 2min there is more swear words then in the entire first one. This movie isn't really a Halloween movie to me. It just follows a similar plot, there is a kid in Illinois that kills his family and goes nuts. This movie doesn't have the scaryness of the original ones, or the coolness factor. He doesnt seem like as much of a bad ass in this one. No one dies in a cool way, by cool I mean stuff I couldnt do myself or anyone else could do. I want more people going through walls and Michael jamming shotguns through people, or sticking a scalpel through people and sticking them up on the wall, thats what a true bad ass killer does. Halloween by Rob Zombie makes Michael Myers seem like an average killer. Before this movie I thought if Michael was to fight Jason, Michael would win. But after this Movie I'm not sure he could. I would say Jason X caught more classic Jason than this remake did of Michael Myers . I liked that there was more blood but did every person he killed have to be naked? I think two people he killed wasn't naked and one was taking a crap so he was half naked. Overall an ok movie but doesn't size up to any other Halloween movies.
Sorry Micheal this
gonna have to be a
