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.

Nintendo NX

I'm not going to do a full out blog about Nintendo NX....or at least I hope not lol. But I am going to raise a few questions and feel free to comment, oppose me, criticize me, whatever. But I have questions and statements for the fans and for myself that have to come out. Nintendo NX, thats all anyone is talking about this week. I mean its all over IGN, Gamespot, Polygon,Giant Bomb, you name it, they are talking about it, so now its my turn. First and foremost, WHY?!? I mean the Wii U is still a kid, hasn't even had much time to grow up and be enjoyed by enough people, doesn't even have a full line up of games that have high peak interest. So why release another console so soon? Is it just simply because they have not sold as much as Sony and Microsoft, or is there another catch here. Most people guaranteed will say it is because Nintendo lost too much money on the Wii U, so they have to come out with something better to compete with Sony and Microsoft. Now I'm not a Wii U fan, I really don't like the console...sorry Nintendo, I have been a fan for years but this is not my cup of tea. But, Nintendo has done something that Sony and Microsoft has not brought to the table. That is a console that is something different. And this started way back with the Wii, and that console I was a fan because it had great games like Zelda: Twilight Princess, New Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Country, Call Of Duty Black Ops, Metroid...Great Games! The Wii and Wii you were different then the competition so they had something to sell that no one else could bring. And fans will say what about the kinect for 360 and the Move for PS3, but those sucked, and everyone knows it. The motion games on the Wii were awesome, and some of these games on the Wii U are just as much fun...problem with the Wii U is they have no third party game support. And they WON’T FIGHT TO GET ANY?!? I’m a firm believer that if the Wii U had more third party games, they would be more of a hit. They need games like Destiny, and Elder Scrolls, and Tomb Raider, but they don't have it. And the only people I can think to blame is Nintendo themselves, it’s like they just gave up on the Wii U and said the hell with it we will develop a new console that will probably be a mirror image of the PS4 and the One. I can't conform anything, but I know they have lost a lot of money and I think they believe the only way to make more money is to be like the people they are competing with. And it is because they have already failed at being different so they will try a different approach because it is what most gamers want. They want to be able to buy the Nintendo NX, get games like Call of Duty, and play online with their friends on a gamer friendly network that all their friends are on. It’s frustrating and I understand why Nintendo is doing what they are doing and I don't’ understand. Because I don't care what they say, they are not going to support the Wii U once the NX is out. Yes, they will support the 3DS because it blows away handheld competition, but the Wii U does not so they will drop it just as quick as they dropped the Wii when the Wii U was released. And I’m not a Wii U supporter, I just feel like they are slapping their fans in the face who do own a Wii U and enjoy the console. By summer next year, Nintendo is stating that they will release a console that will re-capture their fans and the gaming nation. Part of me is excited, and part of me is like, yeah right. Guess we will have to wait and see. I’m sure we are not done with the hype and gaming news on this console. And I’m sure this won’t be the last time I post about the NX either so stay tuned! Please comment below if you have something to say and also please share if you like this post! Much appreciated!

Good Bye StoneFalls Welcome to Deshaan

 


Welcome back Elder Scrolls Junkies! So on my last blog I wrote about my joys and woes of just starting up and running through Stonefall! I know that on my last blog I didn't finish Stonefall, so let me recap what you missed. I still couldn't beat the raid, dungeon, whatever you want to call it, so no help there. Still not a werewolf, that really sucks, and still no good story....I don't think you should be surprised at that. The last main story quests that I embarked on had a blind man teleport me back into oblivion to rescue the blonde chic from the beginning. When I got in she was a slave in rags...behave! I had to find her armor, show her how to be a brave woman, and kill some baddies to get her axe back that way she could feel just like her old self again. We saw one of her old pals while we were in there, got about 2 minutes of story, and then ran back to get teleported out. That's all you missed.....I know save your claps for the end. Last time I checked on her and the blind man, she was playing the lute for him while he was rocking in his chair in the cave.....no really, that is what was going on, just wait you will see lol.And she will tell you her daddy taught her the song she was playing for the blind prophet lol. So then we get a message from some random quest giver that runs up to you(just like I told you, quests will come find you!) that a plague is happening in Deshaan, and that they need your help! Guess they don't know who I am yet. So you go there, and the story actually starts out pretty good. Plague zombie thingies are running a muck killing everyone and eating people on the walking paths, and in lakes, and in trees(best glitch ever lol), just doing what zombies do. So I did God only knows how many side quests and ended the plague just like that. I had to fight some crazy guy in a cave that liked to throw green mud at me and fuzz up my scree, really lame, really easy, then the plague was done. After that your quests consist of killing snakes and rats in the swamp to help lizards, saving lizards from cat pirates, and killing a daedric cult leader. Way too much cat and lizard, not enough cult leader killing. And the swamp missions are really boring to boot, and I'm actually being serious. It took me over 30 minutes to capture 8 rats because I had to compete with over 30 people on this server! Deshaan is definitely not as fun as Stonefall. I mean yes there are dungeons(that you can't do without people) and caves, and oblivion portals, but having all these people on the servers ruins the experience! Now don't get me wrong, I love the fact that the game is co-op, that is great, but I don't love running into the final temple of the area, and having to watch all the enemies killed while I try to catch up to the rest of the action. And I'm a great player, but I'm a dual wielding elf, and everyone else is a mage or sorcerer. So they just blast everyone before I can even raise a sword....-_-. So if you suck at the game or just are too low of a level, its all good, you can just sit back and watch an army of OP players destroy everything in their path while you watch from a far. But wait, I think you have to have a hit on the enemies to count toward your XO, so don't forget to throw your shoes at them before they die lol. That way you still get XP. Fair is fair! And for a FYI when you get to Deshaan, if you need anything, armor made, weapons, money, materials, whatever, make sure you hit up Artisans Craftworks. Because you can't go in that place without 50 to 100 people being in their trying to haggle with you all their worthless garbage to get your money! I mean if you TV is not on mute, I literally had someone asking people if anyone wanted to suck @#%!@, I'm not kidding, whatever it takes lol. So if you need something, that's where to go, and let the force be with you...and your purse! Nothing really exciting to tell you beyond this, next I am supposed to be entering Shadowfen, so maybe, just maybe, the story will pick up, and things will  be awesome again. Whether or not, I will still let you know. Until then, lease comment below, and share my blog to people you know. Appreciate all the support!
