  Post Top 5 Favorite Games of All-Time: Honorable Mentions Vol. 3

  This is actually kind of embarrassing. I've been promising that I'll have this posted soon for the last month or so. It's actually been almost done for a while now. I just had it collecting dust in a MS Word file on my laptop. But, just this past weekend, I decided to finish it finally.

  Now that the explanations are out of the way.....

  

  Developer: Naughty Dog

  Platform: PlayStation 3

  Wow, okay. Where do I start? Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is not a game. It's an experience. It's hard to describe this game through words without sounding extremely cliched. Most of the words that come to mind right off the bat are so over-used in games media these days, that they've almost lost their original meanings altogether. Oh what the hell, I'll just use them anyways. Uncharted 2 is compelling, riveting, visceral, astounding, unbelievable, and incredible in every way possible. THERE, I DID IT. HAPPY????? Now, please excuse me while I go cut my fingers off.

  

  Developer: Ubisoft Montreal

  Platforms: PS3, Xbox 360, PC

  I actually just beat Assassin's Creed 2(or as I like to call it call it, "Grand Theft Horse: Italy') yesterday, and I loved it so much that I thought I'd squeeze into this list. I was a big advocate of the first AC, which was not without it's flaws, but still was an amazing game. As the is the rule of thumb with AC1; you either loved it, or hated it. (I just happened to be on the former side) This is not the case with AC2 though. It seems that everyone loves it. So if everyone loves it, you can guess how much I love it. They virtually addressed every negative that was in AC1. The stealth mechanics could be improved a bit though. But I'm not complaining. This game reeks of awesomeness. A must buy if your a current gen console owner. "Current" is the key word here folks.

  

  

  

  Developer: Naughty Dog

  Platform: PlayStation

  The Crash Bandicoot Trilogy are games that are very near and dear to me. The first Crash Bandicoot was one of my very first PlayStation games, and overall games in general. I can still play all three of them to this day and get as much enjoyment out of them that I did back in the day. It's a shame that CB has diminished to what he is today. Once Naughty Dog left the series to Eurocom and various other devs, he was never the same. RIP Crash Bandicoot.

  

  Developer: HAL Laboratory

  Platform: Nintendo Gamecube

  Ahh, Super Smash Bros. Melee. A lot of fond memories with this bad boy. I remember my friends and I would stay up all night and day playing this game nonstop. It was infinitely fun. We played it from it's release, all the way up until Brawl's release(also a good game). Which is quite a long time if you think about it.

  

  Developer: Team Ico

  Platform:PlayStation 2

  I shouldn't have to explain myself on this one. If you've never heard or played it before, then you should probably just kill yourself right now. Because neither me, nor anyone else can help you. And that's that.

  ___________________________

  So comes the end of my Top 5 Favorite Games of All-Time list that I started back in June. It certainly took long enough to finish. I hope it was as fun to read as it was for me to write. Actually....it wasn't that fun to write. I just said that cause your suppose to say stuff like that when you finish writing something.

  I can't promise I'll have my next blog series started anytime soon (Games That Scare The **** Out of Me). But I promise that I haven't forgotten about it. Oh, before I forget, I just recently found out that a frequent of the PS3 forum, Furi-Kun, was banned. It's quite a shame. He was one of the more productive members in the GS forum community. His misplaced love for Haze was his defining characteristic. RIP Furi-Kun.

  So many games, so little money. *sigh* (Anniversary Edition)

  Before I begin, I'd like to give everyone a virtual Slim Jim. Why you ask? Well because Slim Jim's are awesome. So there you go, enjoy your Slim Jim in all it's digital greatness. And no, you can't have another

  _____________________________________

  Happy Anniversary everyone. This is my 45th blog post. So, in commemoration of this prestigious event, I thought I'd name this post the same as my very first blog post. It also fits the times considering the cluster **** of games dropping in November. I wanted to wait till I got to 50 to do an anniversary blog post, but by that time November would most likely have already past and the title wouldn't have made much sense. Maybe I'll do another for 50 as well. WHO KNOWS? My blog works in mysterious ways.

  _____________________________________

  Now on to the games. November should be marked in gaming history as one of the most crowded months ever. There's Dragon Age: Origins, Modern Warfare 2, Assassins Creed 2, The God of War Collection, Left 4 Dead 2, etc. There's probably a couple that I'm missing, but you get the idea. And as luck would have it, I want them all. What's a gamer to do? One word: Gamefly. Thank god for Gamefly. If I didn't have an account, I don't know what I'd do. But that just raises another question. Which to rent and which to buy? I think I'll have to ponder that one some more. Stay Tuned.

  _____________________________________

  Your all probably wondering when I'm gonna put out the conclusion to my post top 5 game series that I've been working on for the last 20 years. Well your just gonna have to keep wondering cause I'm not gonna tell ya(insert maniacal laugh). I'm still working on it unfortunately and I promise it's still incoming. So happy Anniversary with a side of Slim Jim's everyone!!!!!!!!!

  Here's a little celebratory parting tune for you. Even though the game it came from was balls, the song kicks some serious a**.

  Blog Activity Update (Cloaked Edition)

  "You brought a hooker to church?"

  HAHA!!!!! I bet you can't see me. Y'know why? Because not only am I using the new human cloaking device I stole from a Romulan I bumped into in the neutral zone yesterday, but also because I'm nothing more than a jumble of letters your reading on your computer/*insert device with internet capabilities*.

  ____________________________________________________________________

  Alright, now that you've come to grips with the fact that I have the ability to stand directly in front of you without you even slightly realizing that I'm there, let's get on with the updates.

  As you can probably tell, I've been playing a lot of Uncharted 2 lately. I won't go into too many details on how I feel about it, but I will say that playing Uncharted 2 has been like getting punched in the face by God himself. I will elaborate in my forthcoming review. In fact, my addiction to Uncharted 2 is the reason why my blog posts have been more spaced out as of late. That, and because I've been working full time for the last month or so.

  I'm currently working on putting together the final volume in my Post Top Five list series. The last one only consisted of two games, so I'm trying to make this last one a bit beefier. Wow. Beefier is actually a word. No squiggly red line under it. Didn't expect that. *awkward silence*

  *clears throat*

  ____________________________________________________________________

  Anyways, I'm probably going to cancel the monthly music blog posts I planned. I can barely keep up with my regular posts. Expect the end of the Post Top 5 list soon. That's all I have to say about that(ya, Forrest Gump reference).

  If you haven't already, check out the monthly song at the top of my blog page. This month's song is particularly awesome. Here, I'll even link it for you lazy bastards....
