Top 5 best Playstation games

QUICK!!!! Before you read this enter my contest for 4 free SNES games!!! link here.


I don't write about Playstation enough. I do really like the Playstation 1, 2, and 3. Just not as much as Nintendo. Anyway, today I'm going to talk about the best Playstation games. Now before I start, I just want to say that I haven't played as much Playstation as Nintendo, so if there is a game you think I'm stupid for leaving out, I just haven't played it yet. So. Without further ado. Here are the top 5 best Playstation games.

5. Crash Bandicoot.

This game really helped the Playstation get on it's feet. Great graphics for the time, solid gameplay, interesting level design, this game was one of the first 3D platformers and they definitely pulled it off.

4. Driver.

I doubt this game has appeared on many top five lists but I like this game a lot. It's fun, challenging, and how can a game with a felony bar not be awesome.

3. CastleVania: Symphony of the Night.

This game was made when 2D sidescrollers were coming to an end. So naturally, they had nearly perfected the genre. That perfection was simply known as CastleVania: Symphony of the Night.

2. Tomb Raider.

The graphics for this game were amazing. Great plot and a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend checking out Tomb Raider.

1. Final Fantasy 7.

Okay, there's really nothing I can say about this game that hasn't already been said. It's a great game that revolutionized RPGs.


Thanks for Reading! :D

Megaman 2 Review

QUICK!!!! Before you read this enter my contest for 4 free SNES games!!! link here.

This is an excellent game. No question one of the best games in the NES library. Definitely better than the first. Why? Well, here's why.

Even though this game isn't very plot-heavy, I love the concept. Good guy makes one good robot, bad guy makes eight bad robots. Good guy robot must beat all eight bad guy robots to get to the many levels inside the bad guys laboratory.

The controls are great too. Nice and responsive. Easy to control, the graphics are pretty good for the NES, and the soundtrack is AWESOME! Seriously. Chalk it up as one of the best NES game soundtracks. So good.

This game is very difficult. Expect a lot of frustration. There's a difference between good frustration and bad frustration though. Megaman is good frustration because you can tell that it was purposefully made to frustrate you. Bad frustration is a game with bad controls or tons of glitches so instead of just needing skill, you need to pray that the game won't glitch up and kill you.

Now I know I should say some stuff that I didn't like about this game but the truth is that I really can't think of anything I don't like about it. It's a perfect game, in my opinion.


Rating: 10/10

Thanks for reading! :D

More 3DS

If people read my blog I'm sure that they would get very annoyed by all of my 3DS stuff by now, but having no readers definitely has its perks. But have no fear, imaginary readers, for this post will be short. I just want say three quick things, followed by a bunch of awesome 3DS pictures.

1. Graphics: possibly better than the Wii, maybe even close to PS3 or Xbox 360.

2. Games: Ocarina of time remake?! Mario Kart 3D?! Paper Mario?!

3. 3D movies?!

In conclusion. You know those crazy people that wait in line for ten hours to be the first to buy something? Well, let's just say I've started saving. 

Thanks for reading! :D

The Playstation Move

I know I don't talk about Sony very much but today I wanted to talk about the move.

Ever since I saw about the move I was pretty opposed to it. I mean... It blatently ripped off the wii controller, but once you get past that it's basically just a wii remote that works better, and has better graphics. The only way the wii can compete is their awesome exclusive titles and the cheaper price. I think that the Move could really take a chunk out of Nintendo's Wii sales, but I'm not too worried. I'm pretty sure that the 3DS is going to be enough to keep Nintendo on top. Plus, the Wii really isn't one of Nintendo's best systems in my opinion. The motion controls are innovative but besides that it was basically just a Gamecube with Wi-Fi.

The sub-par graphics, the bright, happy marketing and the fact that they completely ignored online multiplayer on most of their games has turned off a lot of hardcore gamers, and for good reason. It really isn't a hardcore system. I would bet money that you've heard someone say "The graphics are pretty good... for the Wii." before.

Now don't get me wrong. It's is a great console. I'm just saying that I understand why some people don't like it.

Anyway, this post has turned into more abut the Wii than anything, but that's all I feel like writing.

Thanks for reading! :D
