Kingdom Hearts

Like the title displays, I have recently played Kingdom Hearts which was one of the first Play Station 2 games that came out in 2003 and I was surprised at how good the game was. In a nutshell, the main story is about a boy named Sora (which honestly I though he was a she! xD) who is the chosen Keyblade wielder destined to keep the worlds of Disney safe from the evil Maleficant. I liked how the controls were after getting used to seeing a miniature menu with options and also your control to move Sora around. I wish they made it so you can play as the other characters, but I guess that wasn't meant to be. The graphics on the game were impressive though I was wondering "why do all these original characters have Mickey Mouse feet?" Actually to be honest, I played the second game before the first one so I found this one to be a little more difficult, but it was fun.

Overall, one game that does take time to defeat and handle the controls fairly well. Maybe next time I'll explain Kingdom Hearts II, until then CIAO!!!!

Fastest Blue Thing Alive

Obviously when I titled that, I was referring to Sonic the Hedgehog in some of his many games from Sonic Heroes to Sonic and the Black Knight and Sonic Genesis.

SONIC HEROES: Playing it on the Play Station 2, you were able to chose from 4 teams, Sonic (obviously), Chaotic, Dark and Rose. Most of the time I would switch between team Sonic and Dark since I was a huge fan of Sonic and Shadow, but to get the furthest in the game without dying so many times was team Rose led by Amy and how I wish she would give Sonic a break. I found this game to be challenging since you had to make the leader travel at blinding speeds, the power member take down enemies and your flight person fly and take out sky enemies when the moment calls for it. The only part that irritated me is the fact that you have to be careful near water or space otherwise, there goes your lives down the drain. Closest I can say this can be compared to is a modern, 3D arcade game with an interesting storyline.

SONIC AND THE BLACK KNIGHT: I enjoyed this game out of the three I played over the weekend the most, but that is my opinion, I'm kind of a big medieval buff (if you haven't seen some of the earlier games I have placed up) and it was for the Wii which made it more challenging. I liked how it was different than the other games that debut Sonic because when have you seen the blue hedgehog run around with a sword and battling the knights of Camelot to protect what is left of the somewhat ruined kingdom. There are also mutliplayer games where you can be Lancelott (Shadow the Hedgehog), Gawain (Knuckles the Encidina (spelt wrong I know!)) or Black Smith (Tails the Fox).

SONIC GENESIS: When I thought about this game I thought it was another new game, but boy was I wrong. Playing this on the Play Station 2 gives the arcade games that Sega originally developed when Sonic was introduced almost 19 years ago a slightly more difficult level. I'm not particularly a big fan of the arcade games at first, but once you get me to them, expect to not use the game console in another few hours. I would have liked the graphics to be slightly better, but hey for a game that was made in the 1990s, it got some pretty advance movements.

Out of the three games, which one would you go for? I already told you mine, but now it's your turn to comment below...CIAO! ^o^

Gotta Catch Them All

You know that one show everyone used to watch when they were kids called Poke'Mon? I actually stumbled on the original yellow version of the game where you get to have Pikachu, which was a plus considering how that was the trademark of the whole series to begin with. I was a huge fan of Poke'Mon until season 4 came out and then anything regarding it I turned away from.

MOVING BACK TOWARDS YELLOW VERSION...I found it funny how compared to the Sapphire version I played a while back how the graphics were almost the same in action, but of course with more advancements in games, the Sapphire had better graphics than the Yellow. The storyline was pretty good, though I had to admit I had a heck of a time trying to train my Poke'Mon to defeat the Gym Leaders then go to the Elites. I have no idea what would happen if they remade the game from the original gameboy console it was designed for...probably have more animation and probably lifelike graphics.

Overall, I do want to see how the other Poke'Mon games can be compared to one of the original ones that came out in the mid 1990's, but for now GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL!

Welcome to Wonderland

I have always been a fan of Alice in Wonderland because I have not seen another story that has the same concept as this one. When I heard about Tim Burton creating Alice in Wonderland I wanted to see it as soon as it came out in theatres. I did get to see it and I was so excited that when the video game came out, my sister and I played it from beginning to end with 110 percent effort.

Since the Alice in Wonderland game I played was for the Wii, I quickly got the hang of using the nunchuck and the control in unison, except for when you have to battle the Bandersnatch, it's better to have 2 players to defeat it. The graphics on the game were well put considering how most of the Wii games I played had slightly horrible visual effects save for the cutscenes. However, the storyline between the movie and the game contrasted and I found the game to be a little more dark and violent compared to its partner.

Nonetheless after playing the game nonstop for a good 7-9 hours, my sister and I found the ending swell and slightly unexpecting. Sorry, not going to give away spoilers but I would recommend trying to play it for a little bit alternating between characters such as Mallymkun the Door Mouse to McTwisp the White Rabbit. I was upset that you couldn't play Alice (tears running down my face wah!).
         

Other than those downfalls, it is an interesting game that gives challenges and timing skills a plus.

Caught by the Title

As humorous as the game sounds ORCS MUST DIE, it is a rather interesting game considering it had the tactics of an RPG (Role Playing Game) and a defense tower (stratetic) game. Though I only played it for a short amount of time since I had a ton of other things to do (homework most of all! xD), I got hooked onto it and wanted to play more of it. The artwork reminded me of something from WoW (World of Warcraft) and the story from what I have encountered made it seem like a child's game, though it is rated T for Teens because of the violence and blood. Overall, a quick fun game to play when your mind is out of it.

Enjoy the vid and see you later game lovers!

Let's Get the Heroes Rumbling!

Recently a friend bought a game called Marvel vs. Capcom 3 because we had too much time on our free hands between classes and the selection of games for multiplayers was somewhat nil to none. I will admit out of all my guy friends (they were the ones who decided to buy this), there is only one who is able to beat me and that is because he has more experience in the fighting games than I do.

Moving on, since it was for the Xbox (it seems like that is one of the consoles I play more on and I don't even own it), I needed to get use to playing with the buttons more separately from the PlayStation control buttons. My hand cramped after I got the hang of using the same few buttons several times in different orders to defeat the opponent. I liked the fact that there were female characters considering that Marvel and Capcom have a more male dominate storyline versus female storylines and the 3D graphics were lifelike. I loved the way the special ability was able to knock out the opponent with the push of a button, but if you're not careful, the opponent can retaliate.

Overall, not a game I would play hours on, just to let time fly in a short yet fun way.

Old but Still Strong

One of the older games that I remembered playing and recently played was Rayman. Oh my goodness, compared to the new Rayman games, the graphic quality stinks (since it was on a Play Station game), but the storyline was awesome. I always used the circle button to scare away the enemies and laugh when they fell into the water; apparently the creatures in the Rayman game do not know how to swim. It was simple at first, but it proved to be a challenge when you got closer to the end. Though I haven't defeated the game officially, the ending from what I saw was a splendid wrap up of the whole game.


The offical cover of the game...still love him, always a lazy, hilarious yet righteous hero.

Pac Man Fever

Like the title, I played the game called Pac Man Fever on the Play Station 2. Though it was released a few years ago and it wasn't such a big deal compared to other games that came out, I couldn't stop playing it. I also liked the fact that you could play it with other people and by yourself, so it is a multiplayer game. Since the game became popular in my house, my sister and I always fought over which character we wanted (I liked Reiko, she was awesome). However, some of the challenges frustrated me because the "computer players" always win and they get to the end of the game board first. It's like a mix of Pac-Man, Candy Land and arcade games combined into one unique experience.
Well, that's all for now! I'll see you later ciao!
