Until Dawn (PS4 Exclusive Indie Title)


Wow, so where to start with this one. Until Dawn, was created by Indie Developer ''SuperMassive Games''. Before this, they had two other Indie titles for the PS3 with the PlayStation Move, but that never panned out too well for anyone. The Wii had the market for interactive gaming at the time, and Xbox's Kinect and PlayStation's Move couldn't touch it. So personally I would like to thank PlayStation Move for not being a major success, for if it was, we may not have been given the chance to play this. Until Dawn is an interactive horror survival game where 8 young adults are thrown into a 1980's slasher film out in the mountains during a major blizzard that doesn't seem to know what stop means. The plot is typical for horror survival games of this type but what set it aside was the ''Butterfly Effect''. Pretty much means that every action, has a reaction, so think before you act...And before I call this a game, let me clarify that I do not classify Until Dawn as a game more or less. Because it doesn't play, feel, or act like a game. Until Dawn is a survival horror interactive movie, that gives you the free choice to decides what the characters will do in the story. This works with the insertion of quick-time events, and button sequences that keep your on your toes at all times of the story as the game moves forward. Besides quick-time and button sequences, the only other actual gaming that you do is investigate your surroundings for clues and collectibles. And of course you control where your character moves, most of the time, but you are always on path to your destination and can't really shy away from the direction that is intended for you to continue your story. Ultimately the best way to describe Until Dawn is that you are watching a movie, only difference is you make all the decisions for the characters, so if you want them to live, make smart decisions!

So besides the game debate on whether or not the game is more ''Video Game'' or ''Movie'' based, the visuals are of course beautiful. All the characters are well designed, have interesting personalities that develop as the story continues, and show real emotion to react to the environment that is around them. Speaking of the environment, the scenery is really amazing, the mountain side, the forest, the snow storm, the mines, and the lodge, everything looks great. They also did a really good job with the music, there's not too much of it, but when it does come into play, it's always at the right time. The story itself is very interesting and keep you motivated to play and figure out what is going on. It makes you feel like you are these characters and makes you want to do everything in your power to keep them breathing!

Now I don't want to ruin the story at all because this game really needs to be played or watched completely through and should not be spoiled. But with all they did right, they did do something that seemed to lose a little bit of interest to me. Towards the last couple hours of the game, they throw in a super-natural element, that I think personally took all the glory away from what they were trying to do with the whole slasher film plot. It doesn't ruin the game, but it puts a spin on the game, that I don't believe the game needed, and that maybe they could have saved for a sequel or new game all together. And I know that there will be people that will love this game from start to finish no matter what was thrown into play, but to me, if the game is about apples, then there is no need to throw in oranges unless you absolutely have to. That's the best way that I can put if without ruining or spoiling anything lol.

That's about all I got on this. The game was amazing, looks, feels, and acts as it should, and definitely has replayability with the ''Butterfly Effect'' in play. I personally don't know why the game is an exclusive, and would make a hell of a lot more money if they were to release the game on PC and Xbox, but that's my own personal take. If you are looking for the horror game of the year, then so far, this is it! And I don't believe that we are going to get anything better then Until Dawn. But don't take my word for it, if you own a PS4, buy it yourself and play it, its definitely worth the cost in retail, and will give you plenty of replayability!

LAKEVIEW CABIN III...THE SORTA, FATALITY RIDDLED, WALKTHROUGH LOL

LakeView Cabin III is an Indie Horror survival game that sticks 4 typical teenagers...or adults(can't tell because the game is like 8-bit graphics lol) in a Jason like scenario, and forces you to find a way to survive the horrors that await your characters! You are given no heads up, and no hints on what you are supposed to do either. You just have to figure it out for yourself. Lucky for you, the internet now exists and you can easily cheat and look for a walkthrough online. But that really does take all the fun in the game away. It is definitely one of the best Indie Horror games I have played since FNAF and ONAF. And the best part is, it's not a clone of FNAF so it separates itself from the hoarding bunch of clones we are so use to seeing by now. So if you would like to peer into the future and see what the game is like before playing it yourself first, keep reading, if not, head over to the Steam store and check it out yourself!

This is a completed version video of LakeView Cabin III! Even though I completed it, there were many casualties lol. But hey, at least it is sort of a walkthrough. No commentary here, just annotations. I will do a commentary version in another video! Hopefully with a better outcome!

Hit that Like Button for me! It helps more then you know! I will be bringing you more videos as well.

If you liked this video, do me a favor and share it with friends! More videos on the way!

If you have any game suggestions for me to play, let me know! Leave the ideas in the comments below!

''Man this took some time to make, hope you all enjoy this one. Lots of edits! But of course, you can only see the annotations on PC because YouTube hates mobile devices ...lol''

LURKING

Ok, imagine a game where normal rules do not apply. Imagine a game, where not only bad control or keyboard movements can get you killed. Imagine, LURKING in the darkness not knowing what is coming up next down the hallway, or what may be in the next room. Lurking is a game that literally depends on your own breathing habits, and your own voice. Oh yeah, you still use a controller or keyboard to move, but what good is moving if you can't see where you are going...or worse? In Lurking, you will have to use sound waves from your own voice to light the way on your path to the light. Without it, darkness is all that waits for you. Be careful how much voice and sound you use though....that same voice, that same sound, may attract something else out of the darkness to seek you out. They hear your voice, they hear your sound, they hear your breathing, but most of all...they hear your Fear!

Lurking currently does not support controllers for the PC version o the game, but may support it for use on the Oculus Rift version of the game. For a more up close and personal feel for the game. To take the Lurking to the next level that is.

If Lurking seems like something that you may be interested in, but maybe you want to see more about what Lurking actually is other then words. I will post my play through at the bottom of the blog for your pleasure.

Let me know what you think of Lurking if you watch or play the game yourself in the comments. You can either leave the comments in the blog here, or in the comments on the YouTube channel(YouTube preferred). Hope you enjoy the Lurking...just keep your voice down, and try not to breathe quite so hard or something may hear you.

ONE NIGHT AT FLUMPTY'S

Are you looking for a really good horror game to scope out? Do you want to be able to play it for free? How bout own it for free? Then look no further then ''One Night At Flumpty's''! This bad boy was created with inspiration from ''Five Nights Of Freddy'' and pulls all the stops when it comes to your usual run of the muck horror game. Instead of evil dominic animatronics gone horribly wrong, now you have to deal with Flumpty and friends who too many are far worse than the original gang of Freddy's. Flumpty and his buddy Birthday Boy Blam ignore all the rooms of a normal Freddy game, and can literally transcend time and ignore all rules of the plot. They look all friendly and cheerful at the start, but if you happen to get a closer look and survive, I would be willing to bet that they will frightening you like you haven't' experienced fear in years! And they aren't the only ones you will be dealing with , oh no. On top of them you have The Beaver.....I now a beaver, what's so scary there? Well the beaver has some serious issues, might say he is on the run, and will run right through you if he has too. Grunkfuss the Clown! A terrible clown for all you scared of clowns. You might want to reconsider playing this title, because he will terrify you like ''It'' use to for Stephen King! The RedMan....I would tell you to keep a close eye on him, her, it....but it won't allow you to until it's too late....hope you catch on quick! And if you're lucky enough to survive all of them, you might be blessed with meeting Golden Flumpty. He is a rotten egg to the core! Don't be fooled by his golden appearance! Greed will get you killed every time! Still interested? Well for those of you that are, I have a video on ''One Night At Flumpty's below that I did the commentary myself for. Watch if your brave! Share with your friends to give them something to jump about. And subscribe to the channel if you want more horror goodness in the future!

If you play the game, let me know what you think in the comments, either on the blog here or in the YouTube comments(YouTube Preferred). Good luck!

Pixels ''The Review''


So once again I am going to be reviewing a movie instead of a video game, but with this movie being based on ''1980's'' video games, I feel I am compelled to review it. With just seeing the movie no more than 5 minutes ago I can't help but feel completely SATISFIED with what was produced. I am not going to go into deep detail about everything that happens in the movie because this is a movie that I feel if you are a ''Gamer'' you need to see the movie yourself. I believe that some of the reasons that so many entertainment and social media outlets gave bad reviews on the movie was based solely on the concept that the reviewers were not ''Gamers' and they also judged the movie on the other aspects other than its gaming roots. And what I mean to say is that the movie tried to produce a love scenario, just like all Adam Sandler movies do, and at that aspect the movie falls flat on its face. Almost all the romance scenes seem thrown together, and rushed, and Sandler and Monaghan don't seem to be into the scenes at all showing barely any emotions and instead just blowing threw them. I understand a need for romance in movies, but this movie didn't need this at all, and would have been better let alone. And that's pretty much all I am going to talk about that because that is the only part of the movie that really fell short of anything. Sandler and James did what they do best, and that is bring out the best acting in each other, the two of them produced comedy throughout the entire movie and made you want to watch more and more. Gad and Dinklage also played their roles to the T! With Gad playing the wimpy geek that he is and plays so nice on the big scene, and Dinklage playing the cast bad ass and why he is so good at acting as the bad guy. With Sandler, James, Gad, and Dinklage they just seem to cover every aspect needed to complete the movie, and there are many actors that could have been used in this game flick but I don't think they could have played up to what was produced. Lets talk about the ''Pixels''. Talk about reliving the 1980's all over again. This movie had it all from Donkey Kong to Galaga, and from Tetris to Qbert. Every classic game was produced to perfection and used in the best possible ways. The best Pixels in the movie were definitely Pac Man, Centipede, and Donkey Kong. These parts of the movie that were portrayed in real life aspects can only be described as epic, as every scene had perfect locations for the mini arcade battles, and had music cues that made you want to get up and dance. The entire plot of the movie was great, could it be better, sure it could, but so could a lot of movies that have come out year to date. I honestly think this is one of the best gamer movies ever produced, and can only hope to see a sequel in the near future involving maybe the NES Saga instead of the Atari Saga. Would I watch this movie again and refer it to a friend? Already have, and hope that you give this movie a chance if of course you are a video game fan. If you are not into video games then this movie is just not for you, but just don't judge the movie based on what other media outlets have previously reviewed it.

9 out of 10

I would have rated it better if the romance scenes were not so over used and pointless to this kind of movie. But nonetheless, the movie was great, and I would watch it over again to relive the 1980's lore! Great job everyone!

Dragon Ball Z Resurrection F


So I just seen the new Dragon Ball Z movie; ''Resurrection Of F'', literally like 5 minutes ago. Figured while I have all these Dragon Ball Z thoughts still in my head I would put out a review on the movie. And I know that we don't normally review movies, but this is Dragon Ball Z, and with Anime I will take an exception. Not to mention Dragon Ball Z to me is the best Anime to ever come out...just saying. Ok on with the review. So ''Resurrection Of F'' starts off with Frieza's men searching for the Dragon Balls so they can wish Lord Frieza back to life. They don't really go in depth about how they are going to find the Dragon Balls, instead they find that Emperor Pilaf has already collected 6 out of 7 of the Dragon Balls and so they go to earth and make him find the 7th ball and take them for themselves. Once they have them all they have a few cut scenes back and forth of Frieza's men and Piccolo and Gohan about sensing danger, but they never jump to action, instead Frieza is wished back to life on Earth and his pieces(He is still in several pieces thanks to Trunks)are taken back to space. Once we get past that boring build up, there is some small comical acts from Frieza killing his men and trashing talking his top commander about his new master plan on how to kill Goku and Vegeta. Frieza says he is going to train for 4 months and gain a power level of 1.3 million....didn't know we were still keeping track of the power levels. But I guess Frieza still can't sense power levels or something, who knows. Back off ship, Vegeta and Goku are training with Whis in Lord Beerus realm to get stronger, and we have more of a little build up here about the strengths and weakness of both Vegeta and Goku. I really don't want to bore you all to death so I will skip a head a little bit. Frieza comes back to earth 6 months later with his 1000 troop army and attacks Krillin, Master Roshi, Tien, Gohan, and Piccolo. Of course Frieza doesn't fight them, the troops do, and the fights are entertaining watching all the heroes kill off every troop but two. One of the final two troops attacks and puts up a little fight with Piccolo only to be put down by Gohan in one hit. More talks are said, and Frieza attacks Gohan and almost kills him with one blow. Now I'm not a Gohan fan, never have been, but he has gone so downhill since defeating Cell it isn't even funny. He even admits to Master Roshi that he doesn't train anymore but he can still transform into a SSJ 2.....whoopee. Eventually Bulma reaches Whis and gets Goku to instant transmission him and Vegeta back to Earth to fight Frieza. Frieza and Goku talk trash and Frieza transforms into his final form. Goku tells Frieza that he doesn't have to transform to fight Frieza and beats Frieza to a pulp and makes Frieza transform into Golden Frieza....not to be confused with Golden Freddy from FNAF lol. Now we get a little better action, lots of trashing talking, Frieza has the upper hand as he is beating SSJ God Goku up pretty bad. If you were wondering where Vegeta was, it wasn't his turn to get into the fight, we will talk more about that in a second. Eventually Goku tells Frieza that his power is going to run out and that he should have trained harder and mastered his new form before rushing back to Earth to kill him. Frustrated Frieza starts getting pummeled by Goku and right before Goku has time to finish him he gets shot and taken down by a ray gun from the final troop Frieza had. You heard right, a ray gun took Goku in SSJ God form down and almost kills him. How it didn't just bounce off him in this form is beyond me and how he didn't see if coming is even more mind bending but either way it happened and Frieza loved it. Frieza beats on Goku some more while he is lifeless and right before he kills Goku, Vegeta saves him because he says he needs Goku to continue to grow stronger. He even turns down chance from Frieza to kill Goku and take his side by Frieza in his new empire. Now Vegeta transforms into SSJ God form and is stronger then Goku and literally is untouchable. Frieza can't lay a hand on him and gets the crap beat out of him and eventually loses his Golden Form. Now Vegeta comes in for the kill, but right before Vegeta fires a ki blast at Frieza, he blows up the planet killing all life. Somehow Goku and friends were standing close enough to Lord Beerus and Whis to survive the blast and ask for their help to save their planet. Whis says that he can rewind time 3 minutes to try and give them a chance at redemption. So with that said, Whis rewinds time, and Goku comes in the second before Frieza blows up the planet and kills Frieza with his Kamehameha Blast. And Vegeta is pissed but that pretty much ends the movie. So thats the new movie in a nut shell. Not going to lie, the movie was a huge let down in a lot of aspects. Sure the animations were beautiful, all the characters voices were the same, and there were plenty of good fight scenes. But it was just missing too much from the original series to be considered an awesome movie. What really saved the movie was Vegeta and Frieza's humor, and I'm not over reacting either. If it wasn't for the funny bits and pieces that Vegeta and Frieza put into this title, the movie would have been nothing but low level fighters and another big fight scene where Goku is beating the crap out of the bad guy. And I'm sorry, but that's not very entertaining. The only time that you see Vegeta fight is at the end, and you find out that he is stronger then Goku yet they only let him fight for about 1 minute, and then still have Goku kill Frieza in the end and save the day....Why?!? Just to get the kiddies who watch this movie all to smile because their hero saved the day again? That was pure garbage. Heaven forbid if the bad guy beats the bad guy and makes Goku look weak in the end of a Dragon Ball Z movie. I understand the whole hero thing, but the Dragon Ball series really needs to start re-inventing themselves if they want to continue to support their fan base and not just the 10 years olds that watch these movies. Last time I checked, Dragon Ball Z was a Teen to Adult based Anime, not a child based Anime...just saying!

6 out of 10

Great Animations, good fight scenes, and some occasional humor make you want to watch this movie the first time, but I don't see anybody paying more money to go back to the theatre to watch this again. There is just not enough satisfaction out of this movie to make you really get into the story. The trailer was nicely done, but you feel very deceived after you watch the entire movie through. Hopefully Dragon Ball Z next movie can surpass more then just mere hype, and make an awesome movie that utilizes all the characters, and not just one of them.

Forever At Freddy's






So take a gander at the pictures above. Really beautiful aren't they? Don't you wish that these were the actual gameplay visuals of the original Five Nights Of Freddy's? Well....as far as right now that is not going to happen. Adam Sklar is the genius behind these pictures and he used the Unreal Engine to make these just to bring FNAF to their full potential. But he says that they are not making a remake of the game using the Unreal Engine, yet he also made a short intro video(which you an see on my page)of the phone ringing, like right before you stat to play a night.....weird. Personally I think that this Adam Sklar might be in talks with Scott Cawthon to reproduce the first 3 games of FNAF to make another small fortune on games that already exist. Because let's face it, wouldn't you buy the game again if it looked this good? And it's not like the games cost 60 bucks at retail like most new games. They run at a misely 7 or 8 bucks on Steam and usually 5 bucks on Android. So why not throw the idea in the air and see what you can make of it? Even if Scott Cawthon does not know about this possibility, I'm sure it will not take long for him to find out, they are already all over the Internet, and after I'm done the word will be out even more so tick tock tick tock, can we make Forever At Freddy's a full blown remake series now? And why we are at it....can we get Markiplier to test run all these games too? Why not use the best on the best. I love entertainment as much as everyone else does and I don't know anybody more entertaining than Markiplier when it comes to playing the FNAF series. So that's all I got on this one. If I find out more about the possibility of Forever At Freddy's happening, I will be sure to keep you all up to date. Appreciate all the love and feedback, let me know what you think about these pictures and the possibility of a remake using the Unreal Engine.

Batman Man Arkham Knight Review


So I know that I am behind reviewing this game compared to everyone else who has already played and reviewed the DLC for this title. But I was still playing Elder Scrolls Online and its glitch riddled mess....but that's a story all on its own and we will leave that be for now lol. So Batman Arkham Knight Review! Lets address the things I liked first. The story in Arkham Knight is a really dark story for Batman as he is fighting to keep his own humanity against the Joker who is trying to take over his body via the ''Bad Blood'' from previous installment ''Arkham City''.  While trying to save the city from Scarecrow and friends, you have to deal with the Joker every step of the way. I'm not going to lie, this was very interesting, and at times very distracting, but not to the point where you could not play the game, it was a great spin on things and I don't know if the game would have been as good without the Joker....even though he was dead and just living in your mind pretty much. Having Scarecrow as the final boss actually was better then I thought it was going to be, he played his part very well, and even though the last fight with him is just a let down(seriously it's just a cut scene), he was definitely the best choice for main threat here in Arkham Knight. The better part of the story has you fighting back and forth with Scarecrows main general; The Arkham Knight', who I'm not going to lie, I thought it was going to be Deathstroke the whole time and out of nowhere it was the old Robin that was tortured by Joker for  months....thought he was dead. Arkham Knight, later to be known as the Red Hood, played his role to the T, he was in your face almost every step of the way and even saves your hide in the end via cut scene off course. The only part that I was let down about with the Arkham Knight was there was no actually hand to hand combat fight with him......I was really disappointed with this, guess they didn't want Batman beating on his former prodigy or something. Overall the story was really good, better then Arkham City and Asylum, but to me not as good as Origins...sorry that was the best story to me, get over it. The story has enough in it for you to want to play it again in the New Game +, just don't know if it will play well considering how hard the game is already! Seriously, this game is hard as hell for  Batman game, it at times will have you pulling your hair out and even wondering how the hell you are suppose to complete a part in the story.

Now lets get to the bad....there a lot of that too. Lets start with the elephant in the room. The Batmobile. I know a lot of people loved the Batmobile in this title and to them it was the best thing in the whole game....but in reality, it takes away in the story and the combat as well. They used and abused the Batmobile in every way possible. You will literally be climbing walls and descending them to complete some missions. So if you are ever stuck in the story, you probably have to use the Batmobile for something. Some of the fights with the Batmobile are beyond hard as well. On the street mines mission, you get attacked by an onslaught of unmanned drone tanks and they will kick your ass all over Gotham. And the final defend GCPD mission with the Batmobile is ridiculous, 60 armed tanks! Really? Who thought this was a good idea? Just saying...this was stupid. The weapons on the Batmobile are pretty cool as well, they are not mind blowing like some people are making them out to be, but its fun to play with the different weapons on the tanks. Combat can get really dumb with the Batmobile too, if you are ever having a hard time defeating street thugs, call in the Batmobile and one shot them....or run them over....this was overkill for me, but guess some genius at Rocksteady thought it was funny. The Boss battles with the Batmobile were inventive to some point, one of them made me think of Halo and trying to escape the exploding Halo ring, but they were pretty good, no big bads here. The combat in some points was way too difficult. They would have you go up against sometimes 20+ goons, and all of them will either have weapons, electric hands, shields, or other weapons. They would literally over match you and leave it to chance for you to win. My advice is get your armor to max as fast as you can because you will die in combat...over an over again, get use to it. The mini bosses, or other crime lords in the city are ok, it feels like these were rushed really bad, some of them are just one fight battles with the Batmobile or one hit knockouts. They really could have drawn them out more and made the game a little more interesting in this part of the game but guess they felt the game had enough or something. And no KIller Croc?!? What the hell happened here? You go through the sewers plenty so you think you would have seen him at least once, but nope, nowhere to be found, DLC maybe I guess. You do see him in one cut scene in Batman's mind, but that does not count, sorry Rocksteady, you dropped the ball with his appearance too, he looks like shit. The challenge modes are pretty much gone and replaced with challenges that are no where near as much fun. I guess if you want to play challenge mode you can always go back to Origins or City because nothing worth mention here either. The DLC I have not played yet so I can not judge or rate, I have had that its good but short so as soon as I lay through it I will make a note of it in another short blog.

Overall the game was really good, the Dark Story was great, and they really strung everything together well. I had no glitches in my whole playthrough, and only had to look online to find out where to go a couple times.

Overall 8 out of 10

I would have gave it a better rating if there wasn't so much need for the Batmobile to complete parts of the story, the hand to hand combat fights were more equally matched, the side bosses had more time put into them, and if they would have adopted the challenge modes from Origins and City. But still, I would recommend if you have not played this title to get it and play through yourself. It was a good game and you will have a lot of fun playing Batman's Dark Story here. Hopefully they make some major updates for DLC, if not, it will fall out of your most played games really fast.

Child Of Light



So, to all of you 'Child of Light' fans, I need you to know that I truly did enjoy the game...right up until the end. I loved the idea they had for the game. The concept, itself, wasn't new (Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time being one of the firsts); however, it was amazing how they took that idea and changed it. I also loved the complete and utter TWIST they put on the story of Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) itself. That was a BEAUTIFUL twist. I also loved that it was a side scrolling game, I haven't played a side scrolling game in...well..a very long time.
So...if I am so in love with this game, and praising it..then why am I so torn to write about it? Well, because I am extremely disappointed in it as well. First, let us talk about the ending (SPOILER ALERT: AVOID IF GAME IS NOT PLAYED THROUGH). So the ending to me, where Aurora's WICKED STEP-MOTHER ends up being the final boss that you have to beat, turned into a flop. I'm not sure if it is because I some how accidentally power leveled...but the final boss was EASIER to beat than the second major boss. There are three major bosses in the game, then there are the temple bosses that you have to beat, and then the mini bosses. The first major boss I faced was actually pretty difficult, I actually had a few of my characters die in that round. Second major boss was a BITCH to fight, there was a moment where I thought I was gonna get the “This is the end of your journey” message or “Game Over” or “You Lost” SOMETHING. Surprisingly, this did not occur. But it was pretty nail biting for me. The final boss should have been just has hard, if not harder, in my opinion. Instead, I was able to beat in in less time that it took me to beat the second boss.
SERIOUSLY!? How do you give me a final boss that is EASIER to beat than the SECOND BOSS!!!??? WTF. I can get over that though...the story line has been pretty epic up until this point so I can give them a little leeway on the whole 'final boss flop'. However, after I beat the final boss...the story just...the end game ruined the entire experience for me. NO joke either. The Step-mother's last words were, “I just wanted a place to call home, a place to call my own.” Like...really? All of this fighting and epic game play and battle...just so I can hear your sobby cry about how my mother banished your mother which started a witch fight...and then Aurora's dad died as well! That was just...ya know what, I'm not even getting into that. That is a whole other vent session for later, hey! Don't worry though, her mother is ALIVE! Yeah...for a moment I felt like I was watching another “How to train your Dragon 2” moment. So the game ends, you beat the queen, and save your people by bringing them to the new land, since your old land had been destroyed via a flood (also caused by the queen). Whooray!...so...what happens now?

I just can't help how I feel about this game. I was having so much fun playing it! It was even driving my husband crazy with my addiction to the game! But the ending of it left me so damn angry I was spitting curse words and disappointments for DAYS! It felt as if they had put so much effort into this game, to make it beautiful, and the story line excellent, and the twist was amazing...and either gave up at the end or ran into writers block and so just threw that in there because, lets face it, writers block or not, you have a deadline to meet. I am honestly not sure what else I can say about this game without being to harsh about it. But I can say that the excellent 10 out of 10 that I was going to get it dropped dramatically to a 5 out of  10 after I came to the end. For anybody who reads this, I hope you take it for what it is, a review of a personal play through. For those who have yet to actually play it, I DO recommend it, it is an adorable game and has beautiful water color like graphics that's very pleasing to the eyes, AND like I said, Up until the end, the story like was kick ass. However, if you choose to play it, keep in mind that the ending is weak. I give this warning in hopes to spare SOMEONE the pain I suffered from the weak ending. I love my games like I love my books, strong from start to finish. I cannot stand reading a book or playing a game that gets weaker and weaker throughout the game play/chapter read or the ending just feels like a writer's block moment. I need epic from start to finish, period; and unfortunately, Child of Light did not provide that for me.

Rise Of Tomb Raider.....Timed Exclusive


So I have to rant. First off, I am excited to see that the new Tomb Raider game ''Rise of Tomb Raider'' is coming to Xbox One first. Since I play ''MOST'' of my games on the Xbox, this will make it easier to pick it up, play it and review it before 2 million other people do the same thing on multiple consoles. Here is where my problem begins, at E3 it was announced as an Xbox (Timed) Exclusive, and all the Xbox fans were happy and jumping up and down for joy, but on that blue side of the room, there was nothing but silence. Since then, Playstation and PC fans have been all over Square Enix about when the game was coming to their platforms. And so have all the other Gaming Network sites as well, and I just want to say on record to these site; ''Give them a Dam Break Break Will Ya!'' I am a huge PS4 fan, love the way it looks, feels, plays, and shares. I am also a big PC fan, if I wasn't, I wouldn't have a website, a Nexus Tablet, or my laptops....just saying. But when a game is announced as an ''EXCLUSIVE'', or a ''TIME EXCLUSIVE'', that means that you it will be released on that given console, and eventually for everything else.....and that's all the information you get! You don't go crying to every social media that you can because Square Enix decided to make a deal with Microsoft and not Sony. It happens, deal with it, I am tired of reading all these so called 'Video Game News Articles'' about when the game in being released on PS4 and PC. It's beginning to become very sad, with all the crap on Twitter, and all the sad blogs on Blogger, Tumblr, and any other Blog Forum you are using to rant. Leave Square Enix to produce the game! If they have to spend most of their time defending their decision to make the game on Xbox first and not concentrating on producing the actual game, then the game will suck and be as glitch riddled as Elder Scrolls Online....just saying, it happens. Playstation and PC, you guys are awesome and make some of he best games out there, but leave this alone, you will get Tomb Raider eventually, no need to wet your pants about it. Because if you cry about this, then that gives Microsoft the right to cry about other games being released as a Time Exclusive such as Final Fantasy 7 Remake....yea it works both ways! So chill, sit back, relax, makes some awesome games of your own for now, and when Tomb Raider comes to your platform, you can play, review, and judge the game too! Thats all I got on this, I just had to rant about what was going on since this is one of the only things I see on Video Game News right now, so sorry if you had to hear my ranting, but could be worse.....you could be hearing people cry over Exclusives lol

Elder Scrolls Online...The Review!


Ok, I just want to start by throwing it out there that in this review, I WILL SPOIL THE ENDING, SO DO NOT READ IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS! Ok, so now that that's out of the way, let move on to the review and how I really feel about this game. First off, I know that some of you read my first couple of blogs on this title, but sorry to disappoint, but I finished the game with the Dagger Fall Covenant, not the Ebonheart Pact...sorry. Its not that I didn't like the Pact, I just have 5 characters, and I liked the Covenant better, Pact second, and well the other one just sucks...sorry Dominion fans lol. In the Covenant, most of the areas you will travel with either be nicely designed forest, or vast deserts, no where will you find floating jelly fish, still getting use to that. Pretty much in a nut shell you travel from City to Town, Town to City, helping to rebuilding the kingdom, while defending against invaders, vampires, and Molag Bal. Each city is linked really well, and the story is pretty good too. You get a lot of choices in your travels for the kingdom, and a lot of the times you get to pick whether someone lives or dies...that was a lot of fun. Eventually after many MAIN mission, and tons of endless side missions, the factions come to the realization that the alliances aren't the threat to the world, Molag Bal is. But you have a little meeting with the three kings and that turns out horribly. They all think your ideas are stupid and that each of the other leaders are full of crap and just want them to drop their man power so they can be overcome. That's where the fun kicks in, Molag Bal attacks the island that you are on and tried to kill all three leaders. You save them, they thank you, and agree to have YOU and the fighters guild and mages guild make an assault on Molag Bal in the Cold Harbor. When you get in there, you find out that everyone was separated and have to rescue pretty much everyone and gather your strength for a final assault on Molag Bal. This was the art of the game that I liked the most. Elder Scrolls takes a page out of Saints Row IV and gives you Elder Scrolls in Hell! Literally there is a really cool town in Hell and you get to shop, dress, chat with friends, trade crap, all that good stuff. There is even a fighters guild and mages guild too unlocked eventually down the line. So you eventually save everyone, break all Molag Bal's badnick toys that make his World Conquering possible and in the end you have a Horde Mode with him flinging crap at you(while you are behind an invisible force field), while you kill everything until it ends...tadda! Its over..literally. There ain't much details from the characters after that except that they want to go home and the High Elf King died...sadness lol. It was really weak...big let down. Now that was what I call the MAIN ALLIANCE STORY. The actual MAIN STORY with Varen the old Blind Emperor and all his Power Ranger friends is a lot shorter and less entertaining. Pretty much what you do is one at a time go into Cold Harbor via Blind Man portal, and rescue the Power Rangers one by one. Then you get to go through I think about 1 or 2 dungeons and Horde Mode until you get the Amulet Of Kings. You kills the King Of Worms during the last one, and then gather for one final mission into Cold Harbor to fight Molag Bal. You cannot do the FINAL MAIN MISSION unless you have beat the final mission of the alliance story...as far as I know. Once in Cold Harbor....again, you Horde Mode until you get to the torture chamber where you see the King Of Worms being whipped like a dog, and tortured by other Daedra. You know get to talk to him after killing everything and he tells you he hate you blah blah blah and you one day will join him in being tortured forever. You then get to either free him or let him suffer, I freed him and he told me I would regret it and he teleported away...lame lol, Varen said I would regret it, but he dies anyway...in my story, so screw him! At the end, you get to choose who dies as a sacrifice so you can get God Like powers to fight Molag Bal. You can choose between Snow Lily, Sci Sci, or the Varen the Blind Emperor. I chose the blind man because he is already blind anyway, so the hell with him. So he dies and you get this super groovy armor and super strength. Literally you have to now go up flights of steps and fight endless Daedra while pursuing Molag Bal, but don't worry, because no you are pretty much invisible, and can one shot everything! Yup, that right, you can't die! So eventually you get to Molag Bal and he grabs you with his Darth Vader powers and you!!!! Get to push a button to shrink him down to your size and strength lol. It was a let down. I was thinking the whole time, man this guy is huge, how am I supposed to beat someone who is like 50 stories tall.....with a bottom sequence of course! lol When he shrinks you get to fight him, he has a mace and does some magic, but you still pretty much can't die, so all you have to to is attack him until he dies. After you mortally wound him. you get teleported to the clouds whether Molag Bals ghost soul threatens you and you get your soul back. You eventually go back to the Harbridge where the rest of your allies say they are going to Disney Land!  And you...well you get told by Caldwell, the Soul Shriven guy from the beginning, that if your not done adventuring you can now play in the other factions of the war and see how their story is! Yay! But just to piss you off, you don't get to choose what alliance you are in...its random, so enjoy lol.





Overall, what I would rate this game. And take it that I have played PVP, I have beat the Main Story, the Alliance Story, and played through hundreds of quests with glitches all along the way and hours of game maintenance due to servers being down lol. I would have to rate this game a...

7 Out Of 10

With the game being, as glitchy as it is, and the MAIN STORY lacking in lore, length, and excitement I can't bring myself to rate this game any higher then this. And the ending was just awful, on both the Main Story and the Alliance Story. After endless hours of quests, missions, throwing controllers, and glitches, they could of at least gave a better ending to the game! I mean this is the company that brought us Oblivion and Skyrim! So....what happened??? I understand it's their first big MMO game, but come one, you can't blame it on that. I would definitely say that if you have not played the game, get it. If you have friends you can have endless fun with them just exploring the world. But remember in the end, that this game is a work in progress, and that it does need some serious work to live up to its other previous installments before.

R.I.P... ;_; ...Iwata-San, you will surely be missed!


Now that I am a little better off to run of what I have been holding in for the past few days, I just want to put out a couple things about this subject. First off, its hard to blog about something so devastating as this. Since the Wii went out, I have not really even been a Nintendo fan, the Wii U just never really caught my eye, and didn't have any kind of games that I wanted to play with the exception of its usual exclusives such as: Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Zelda...ect. The third party games dropped out, the controller is unattractive to your typical hardcore, or semi-hardcore gamer, and the price for what they offer on the Console Bundles is unreasonable to me....sorry but its true. So Nintendo hasn't really even played an important gaming factor in my life for at least the last 2 years. Yet all of a sudden, President Iwata-San passes at an early age (God rest his soul, and nothing but the deepest sympathies to his family) of 55, and I felt like a part of my gaming life just died...I didn't really even know this man, barely heard about him in all the time I have spent as a gamer/gamer informative, yet the urge to fight back the toughest sadness still hits me whenever I think about it. I feel like someone I knew personally and as close as a family member has just been ripped away from me and can barely stand it. I know that some people are not affected by this, but I know as well that thousands if not millions more people like me, feel the same way. How can you feel this way about a total stranger? About someone you've never met? About someone that is a non-factor in your daily life? Well I'm not the most spiritual person in the world but I can tell you how. I believe in great passions, and behind them passions is a burning soul that I believe lives in everyone one that shares that same passion. Whether your passion may be about Art, Music, Reading, or Video Games, there are people out there, that have the same passion, the same desire to love the same thing that you do. And if that passion is corrupted, broken, hurt, ripped, or changed in anyway, we all feel it. And something as passionate, and as devastating as Mr. Iwata-San passing, has made us all feel a little incomplete. The Video Game World lost one of its best, whether everyone realizes it or acknowledges it or not.  The industry will have less emotion, less guidance, and less passion for some time. I just want to say ''Thank You Iwata-San, for everything that you gave to the Video Game Universe. You gave it everything you had, your mind, your heart, and your soul, and we ''The Gamers'' are eternally grateful! I hope wherever you are, and whatever you are doing, you have a Nintendo Controller in your hand and you are smiling! You will be forever missed, but never forgotten. Whenever I played Nintendo for now on, I will be thinking about you. Rest in piece.

World Of Warcraft: Tomb Rage!


So, I will admit I have been playing world of warcraft on and off ever since “The Burning Crusade”. However, my ability to ‘maximize’ my toons skill, talents, abilities, weaponry, and armor…is…well, appalling. So much so, that I had actually had a total stranger come up to me and freak out on me. Mind you, if I am running an elemental shaman I am good to go! However, I decided to branch out and try all other classes, and was met with failure. I created a Draenei Death Knight for the Alliance (go a head Horde and have your hoots and hollers about that). However, I did not do ANY research into this and just jumped right in. So every time I gained a new talent, I would simply pick one that sounded like it could help me. Now, playing as long as I have played, you would have THOUGHT I would have KNOWN better…but I wasn't thinking. So here I am, sitting in Hellfire Peninsula on Overlook waiting for the damn flag to move up so that I could claim overlook for the alliance and complete this stupid pvp quest…and another Alliance death knight walked up to me and started freaking out on me! First words out of his mouth (well..out of the chat) were “DUDE! YOUR SET UP IS HORRIBLE! YOUR TALENTS SUCK! THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE!”. Now…most people would have taken offense to that. Okay, let us be honest, almost EVERYONE would have taken offense to that. I, however, busted out laughing about the whole thing because, unfortunately, it was true, and I knew it. What made me laugh even harder, and had my husband who was raiding in Destiny looking at me funny, was his guild mate was whispering me and apologizing saying that he means well, and just gets over excited and cannot control himself. So I told the guild mate, “I'm not offended, I think it's funny because I know it is true, any other tips and pointers you can give me?” so he sends his guild mate back after me! The amount of information that came pouring out of him for a death knight was AMAZING to say the least. Now remember, I said I played on and off since “The Burning Crusade”. What I really mean to say, is that I have three kids and they come first so if I'm tight on money, my games are the first to get cut off. So much had changed with World of Warcraft since I had last hardcore played. He gave me tips on the glyphs that would work best for me, which talents would maximize my survival rate with the particular specialty I had chosen to go with. Some of the tips he had given me, I would have NEVER picked on my own just because it didn't sound very useful. Boy! Was I EVER wrong! Remember, I did NO research into this prior, and I have never really played Dungeons ‘n’ Dragons so I am not very strong with character stats. So after he explained everything to me, I went and changed up my talents…and lo and behold! I was dying OH SO MUCH LESS! Who knew! So Before you go into a TOON RAGE because someone said your setup sucked, give'em a chance to explain WHY the setup is bad, and decide for yourself if you choose to listen or not…because, honestly, chances are, you're probably not as much of a noob as I am when it comes to creating your toons. Even, still, any and all advise that could improve or maximize your toon, could always help turn the tide for your choice of either Alliance or HORDE!

Call Of Duty: World at War II...What Happened?


#@*^%@!!! Thats about what I have to say right now. At least that is what I want to say after being let down...yet again, by Call Of Duty and Treyarch. I mean, there was so many hints that #WAW2 was going to happen between last year and this year, and they had such an incredible fan base behind the need to want this game to happen, and then out of no where....Black Ops 3. #@%^*@#!!! Again that is what I have to say trying to stay PG and viewer friendly. I'm sorry to all the gamers that I know love the Black OPs title itself, because overall it is usually a good title, especially if you compare it to Infinity Ward and Sledge Hammer Games recent titles. But why all the hints towards a sequel to a game if that is not what was going to happen? I just want a straight answer from Treyarch and Activision. Why did you decide on another Black OPs instead of World at War? We even got this great image online!!!


Even if it did turn out to be fan made, or company made, or discarded because this was not the final decision...whatever. Just want Treyarch to know that they let down a lot of people that wanted another WAW title, that is all. And I want to run my mouth about the crappy recent titles that Activision has put out recently lol. MW3, pure trash, glitch riddled, and nothing new, made everyone wonder how it could carry the Modern Warfare title at all. Ghosts, another great, shiny, beaming light of a piece of garbage that fans could not stand. I don't even want to get into the whole alien thing. All I am going to say is, people thought Aliens: Colonial Marines was bad......welcome to COD meets ACM...G.A.R.B.A.G.E. SEGA you made a Masterpiece compared to this piece of crap. And finally we come to the recent work that Sledge Hammer Games released from its vile, corrupted cage, COD Advanced Warfare. First off, Infinity Ward killed off the Warfare series with MW3, so please refrain from using that sub title lol. And secondly, COD is not Titanfall or Halo, so please no running on the walls or I will have to get the hall monitor of video games to suspend you. This game doesn't even feel like a COD game. Of course COD loyalist will say it is the best thing in the world...just like they said Ghosts was, but under that filthy lie, is the cold hard fact that this game took advantage of surrounding BETTER titles and made a clone game and slapped a COD title on it and said....''This is Advanced Warfare''...what a load of crap. I understand that Titanfall is not the best title in the world either, but it was different, so it was at least a nice breath of fresh air to the usual shooters. And Halo has its ups and downs throughout the series, but at least it stays true to the series, it doesn't do a 180 and jump ship. So COD Advanced Warfare......there is a reason I don't own this title anymore.....maybe I just don't want to be shot by a samurai...just saying lol. So with all the complaining and dislike of the recent COD franchise titles, you have to excuse me for not being excited about the Beta launch next month of Black Ops 3. So far from what I have seen. you have Megaman on your team, good job on taking that from Capcom, they weren't using him anyway lol. You can still run on walls like in ''Titanfall'' why not keep stealing from that title, worked on the last title. And while you are running on the wall, why not come smashing down on the enemies in PVP with an all new, STOLEN FROM DESTINY, ''Titan Noob Smash''. Fist of Havok...really Treyarch, really? Do you have to be like Infinity Wad and Sledge Hammer Games? I thought you were the better of the bunch and didn't do crap like this? Surprise! They ran out of ideas, didn't think WAW2 would be successful, so they said lets make ''Call of Titanfall III Guardians Edition''!?! LMFAO!!! I guess this will be another year of Call of Duty that I will not be picking up the title. Thank God there are plenty of other ''Original Shooter'' Games coming out this fall and Winter to get me through! 
Once again, sorry to the fans of Call of Duty, I understand that every game they make is the best to you, but to the rest of us that are not loyal to only one game. We would like the Call Of Duty Franchise to return to its roots and make ''Real'' Video Games, that don't steal bits and pieces from other games because they know their game is lacking in the ''Creative'' department. Ok....I'm done....really I am, I can't rattle on anymore about what this franchise has become anymore because it sets my brain on fire and makes me melt lol,

WWE 2K16 ..... A Pre Release Review



I've been a wrestling fan probably since I was in diapers. The first match I remember as a kid was The Undertaker vs Giant Gonzalez at WrestleMania 9. Giant Gonzalez walking to the ring in his tight ass Wolverine get up and The Undertaker walking out like a bad ass with Paul Bearer and his vulture in tow... Wrestling was FN awesome! The games sucked at the time but once the mid 90's came along with N64 and the PS1 wrestling games were just as sweet as wrestling was. WCW World Tour WCW vs NWO Revenge WWF No Mercy WWF Smackdown 1 & 2 WWF Smackdown Shut Your Mouth WWF Here Comes The Pain. Wrestling games were FN awesome. Eventually the best company went away eventually the best wrestlers went away eventually wrestling became repetitive and boring and so did the video games. Eventually WWE got smart and figured out wrestling fans missed the glory days of wrestling WWE fans missed The WWF Attitude Era. WWE made most of WWE 13 about The Attitude Era and its biggest stars from the late 90's unsurprisingly the game sold extremely well and was very fun! Then came 2K14 which had a great 30 Years of WrestleMania Mode but was seriously lacking the greats and the fun of the last game. Then came the trailer for next gen WWE 2K15 which looked incredibly real! Sadly that was just about the only good thing about 2K15... With Stone Cold Steve Austin on the cover of WWE 2K16 I have high hopes this time around will be more like The Attitude Era again. I have high hopes to see the best of WWF like Stone Cold Steve Austin The Rock Ministry of Darkness Undertaker Retro Kane The Big Boss Man Ken Shamrock 2 Cool APA The Dudley's Team Xtreme Matt Hardy Jeff Hardy n Lita I would also like to see some WCW greats like Hollywood Hogan Macho Man Randy Savage Scott Hall Kevin Nash Sting Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner DDP Goldberg and so many more greats I'm sure I'm missing. I want to see a story mode more like that of WWE Day of Reckoning 1 & 2 heck I would settle for Smackdown Shut Your Mouth or WWE Raw 2 Ruthless Aggression style. I want backstage areas that are interactive like in WWE Here Comes The Pain and WWF No Mercy. I want I quit matches I want casket matches I want falls count anywhere matches with backstage area support I want alot of cool bad ass stuff from previous versions which I'm sure sadly isn't likely to make the cut... Hopefully we will at least get a good WWF and WCW roster though... Here's hoping for the best when the game gets released... Can't get much worse than WWE 2K15 at least...

Allison Road


Now already by the title I assume that most all gamers who are reading this know what upcoming title I am talking about. If not...well you are in for a real treat, especially if you are into games that will literally make you crap your pants or want to hit the power button. Allison Road is an upcoming first person survival horror video game for the Microsoft Windows. It is considered to be a spiritual successor to the playable teaser for cancelled video game Silent Hills. The game is supposedly being developed fan-based, by a new Indie Gaming group out of the UK called Lilith Ltd. Its is being developed using the Unreal Engine 4 and projected to be released sometime next year, probably 
closer to the Fall. Now that all that literature crap is out of the way, lets get to my opinion and the actual experience that I felt I had. Now there is a 13 to 14 minute demo video out right now, and you can view it on their Facebook or their YouTube(or just look on my current Spot Light game). And the demo video was told to be not actual video that you will see in the game, mainly because they don't want to ruin the story, but to show all the game mechanics that are in the actual game. Now I really don't want to spoil it for the people who haven't watched the video but I do want to share my experience watching it. There is no background music, so the mood isn't spoiled, but it is a quiet atmosphere as to let you hear every little noise that comes across your ear drums. You can hear every foot step you make, hear every door knob you turn, hear the kitchen sink turn on and off, and hear knocking on doors that grab at your attention and a women screaming silently.....spoiled a little, but not too much. Capture your interest yet? You can interact with everything(or at least he who played did) and your character talks to himself for every little thing that reminds him about something. Your character even tells you when he needs a drink and when he needs to use the bathroom. Talk about realism. There are times during this video that if you had the controller in your hands you would be hesitant to open the damn doors! You are tingling the whole time you watch the video because as every second goes by you feel like something is watching you and getting closer and closer, so you feel uneasy, yet anxious, and so you push on to watch the rest. And right as your grabbing at your shirt and firmly focused on the computer monitor, the climax ....SCARES THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF YOU.....and then the screen turns black and makes you WANT MORE. Those who haven't watched the video, you are welcome, those that have, I'm sure you are just as impatient as I am to wanting this game to be released. Guess we will have to wait and see when and where. As of right now the only consoles that have been hinted for release are PC(Windows) and VR Headsets. I don't know if the title is going to be coming to PS4, Xbox, or NX(got you wondering I know!), but if I find out anything I will sure to let you know. Honestly you can just check their Facebook because they post updates all the time so have at it! This is the first time, in a long time, that a game has someone on the edge of their seat. The game has all the right pieces to create the ultimate horror game, and we deserve one since the last decent game that came out was the Indie title Outlast, and that was ok, but nothing in the sense of this. The best part of this title, is it makes you feel like YOU ARE the main character, and like YOU ARE the one that is being focused on. Not many games out there can make you act the way a title like this can to every little action that you make. I for one(and probably millions more) am excited for this title, and hope there is more to come, like a possible playable demo. But until then, wait, and wait, hope and we will see what happens. If you liked my post, please don't forget to share with friends! Get us noticed! We appreciate your support!

AVGN Game Review on the Wii U



I've always been a big AVGN fan since I first found his review of TMNT for Nintendo NES on YouTube. Pretty much every shitty game I dreaded from my NES past has appeared on his YouTube review page, and he seems to always hate the same bs I did from the game he's reviewing. When I found out that ScrewAttack was making a AVGN game I couldn't wait to play it. It finally came out on PC/Steam... Something I never play games on. So after this I figured it would never come out on home consoles. A few weeks back I bought myself a Wii U and was searching the eShop for a retro game to pick up... Then I saw what I never thought I would see on a Nintendo console... AVGN Adventures! Soon as I got paid I happily spent the $10 they were asking for to purchase it. So this morning I started it up to hear the usual AVGN theme. The song sounded great as a matter of fact every song in AVGN Adventures is fucking awesome! From Assholevania to Laughin' Jokin' Numbnuts. The music of this game is a solid 10/10. I started up the first level to land in a tutorial level as I was being nagged and pestered by Nagi the fairy (a rip on The LOZ fairy from Ocarina of Time) the tutorial did what it was supposed to and quickly taught me how the game was to be played. Then upon completion I was landed in a Mega Man inspired level select screen. There was 8 stages to choose from from Assholevania to Dungeons and Dickholes I kid you not on the names. Every level was different with their own bad ass music and theme to them. You went from riding silver surfers surfboard to riding on dead Santa Claus back to riding a shark shooting laser beams it was FN awesome! The game was filled with cameos from the series like Bullshit Man the glitch gremlin Kyle the guitar guy to Mike Matei (whoever that douche is) and even shit pickle! Shiiiiiiit Pickle! You even get to battle the duo of Freddy n Jason in their NES glory although renamed for copyright bs. The graphics definitely gave off the retro feel that was needed for an AVGN game the controls were spot on with no cheap deaths (besides the death blocks) and with 9 stages the game definitely felt worth the $10 I spent on it. The levels were kick ass and the LJN level will definitely kick your ass! If your a fan of the nerd or retro games this game is a must! Do yourself a favor and pick up this shitty game! You fucking nerd!

Super Playstation NES...Maybe


So I'm sitting here, playing Elder Scrolls, and this God awful image comes across my Twitter. It's supposedly a prototype that Sony and Nintendo were working on back in the day when the SNES and SEGA Genesis were Kings of the Hill. If anyone remembers, Nintendo was king of the platformer games back when SNES was the shiznit, but SEGA was putting out some games that were putting a hurt on Nintendo, they were more into Blood and Gore, and arcade style beat em up games and titles that you just would not see on the SNES. Remember Sega does, what Nintendon't....that was the saying back then in the early 90's and it was working too. I'm not going to lie, I loved SEGA, it was ten times better than SNES to me, and I had all three of the Genesis models, loved them all to death. Who wasn't a SEGA and Sonic fan back in the retro days? So Nintendo was getting a bit antsy and decided to try to one up SEGA by going into a dark evil room with Sony and trying to develop the Next Big Thing for gaming. After the prototype was developed I guess Nintendo went cheap on Sony and decided to partner with Phillips instead and we all know what happened some time after that. Nintendo decided CD's were not the way gaming was going and Sony went back into the dark room and started working on their own prototype. In the meantime SEGA went on to create several CD based consoles and after their success that's when Sony put out the Playstation, and they swooped in and took all the credit and their console went straight to the top...and killed my poor Dreamcast, but that's history. We all know that Nintendo and Sony will never own up to this alleged partnership(if they do I would be shocked) but there is nothing wrong with the thought and wonder of what could have been. I do know that part of me thinks this was true and a possibility and art of me thinks that this is a load of crap. I mean if this was really going to happen, someone on Reddit would have come out with these pictures a lot sooner than this...if this was true. This is more than likely a crap console that someone made in their spare time and took pictures of and downloaded onto the Internet just for some fun and ot shots and Sony and Nintendo to stir their blood to a boil. Do I think Sony and Nintendo talked at one time about business, sure do, do I think they ever got far enough to make a prototype, no way. Nintendo was too big back in the day to take advice from anyone, especially a company who though CD's were going to be bigger in the gaming industry then cartridges. I have the pictures below, you decide what you think is real and what is fake. I honestly only rote about this because everyone else and their mother was blogging about it so I said the hell with it...why not lol.
