  They are not zombies!

  Dont you just hate when someone calls someone something they are not?

  Well I do, and Im most certainly really angry because theres a lot of people in the gaming world (not only in gamespot) who LOVE calling anything that looks human or monstrous but at the same time harmfull a ZOMBIE.

  First of all, let's see the definition of ZOMBIE in the gaming industry:

  A zombie is an unlucky person who got KILLED and then, by X reason, he was returned to life...without humanity...

  zombies love eating brains, they have, most of the times, open wounds and they are completly blood stained.

  Now I will mention some creatures here, from games, which are NOT ZOMBIES, but however, are confused with them a lot in the gaming world.

  First:

  "STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl" zombies

  These guys are quite easy to take down, you first see them in the mission where you go rescue a scientist, they are pretty stupid and slow, but they can carry weapons.

  The actual name of these creatures in the game is "Zombies" but this is merely a name given by the stalkers, the guys are not actually zombies, they are victims of the brain scorcher (a machine in the game which was used to brainwash the people who attempted to pass a certain forbidden place)

  The guys are not actually dead, they have just been brainwashed and as a result, they are no longer rational, but still they never died and therefore they cant be zombies.

  Trivia: The guys from GSC Game world (the ones which created the game) were actually planning to include undead creatures in the game, but they were removed in the last version before release along with other stuff, however with certain mods, you can see the removed undead creatures in the game (their code exist but is not used).
  

  
  

  "Uncharted: Drakes fortune" Mutants

  The sudden apparition of monsters in U: DF was certainly one of the crazyiest plot twist in the videogame history ever.

  A lot of people think they are zombies because they look like undead creatures, however they are NOT, its true that the means in which they becamed mutants were quite paranormal (by the curse of el dorado) but once again, these unlucky guys never died, they just mutated for taking a piece of cursed gold with them and becamed hostile, a clear proof to this is when THAT guy (not gonna tell names for the ones who have not finished the game) opens El dorado he can be seen breathing some toxic air, after that the guy pupils turn black and he begins to mutate.

  
  Trivia: They are also called "demons" by many players because Nate can read on the journal of Sir Francis Drake that there was a "demon infestation in the island" however, the people from 500 years ago called any thing that moved and was different from them a "demon", so dont be fooled, they are not demons.

  
  

  "Doom 3" Demons

  What is worst than facing a demonic invasion? facing a demonic invasion on mars of course! Doom 3 was a huge step for the franchise with the great graphics and gameplay and a couple of scares.

  Like any other DOOM game, the enemys are demons, however, ZOMBIES DO APPEAR IN THIS GAME, and this is the reason why most of the people believe that every single enemy in the game is a zombie, but the zombies are only the dead humans, the rest of the monsters in the game are demons.

  Trivia: Doom 3 is one of the games with most "easter eggs" in the videogame history ever.

  and finally... *drums sounding* the last game in the list!

  "Resident Evil 4" GANADOS

  It is understandable that most of the people believe the enemys in RE4 are zombies, mainly because the saga was well-known of having zombies as the main antagonists...

  However, once again, RE4 significated a huge plot twist in the RE saga, you played as the special government agent Leon S. Kennedy and went to an unknown location in Spain to rescue the kidnapped president daughter.

  The enemys in RE4 are called "Ganados", they were once normal persons, who lived a normal life, but however they got inffected by a parasite called "Las plagas" which turned them into "Ganados": Intelligent and rational beings with inhuman capacities.

  However once again, the hosts never died and once again, they are not zombies because of that!

  Trivia: At the beginning of the game, when you finish killing the FIRST GANADO, if you take some 5 seconds and go examine his corpse, Leon will say "HE IS NOT A ZOMBIE" which should be enough to know that the guys there are NOT zombies.

  

  Bet you thought I was lying right?

  And with that, I close this entry, hope you guys enjoyed! more blogs comming, goodbye!

  I HATE Sephiroth and Cloud

  Yeah, I made an entry just for them!

  I hate them both, most overrated videogame characters ever, Im SICK of seeing how Sephiroth always wins "best videogame villain of all time!" polls and videos...

  he is not that great, and about Cloud...I think it's self explanatory, or should I just say "I CANT DO IT....IM NOT STRONG ENOUGH!!!! *wrist*"

  yeah, short entry, I know, but I really hate them, FF7 fans got a long-deserved swift kick in their goodies when Cloud got pwned in ATGH on Gamespot...

  "All time most POPULAR hero" dissapointment

  Hello guys

  It's been quite a bit since I dont write a blog...

  I must admit that I didnt had any inspiration, but now I do, and guess what? it has something to do with all time greatest hero!

  Well the thing is that I already lost all my interest on the "contest

  why? well thats because the winner has already been declared!

  exactly, the winner is either mario or link (like always) and that just sucks!

  I must admit that I loved to see cloud being kicked by kratos, FF7 fans really needed that swift hit to know that FF7 is the most overrated game ever...

  well I really didnt liked the fact that snake losed, dont get me wrong, Freeman is one of the greatest char ever, but im saying, Snake was the only char who stood a chance against link, and changing the predicted destiny of the contest.

  Pls let me explain myself.

  Yeah, Snake losed to freeman, that doesn't mean that snake didnt had a chance agaisnt link, you see, for example, link could have beaten everyone on his way so far, but if he would have been in the first fight against...lets say...the prince, he would have lost (im obviously speaking hypotetically) but instead, the prince fought against mario and he lost.

  my point is that some chars might get their ass's kicked by some chars, but they could have done way better against someone else.

  Now its the predictive competition...mario and link in the finals...thats the reason why I wont vote on the finals (I just voted for freeman on the semifinals) they are not great heros, they are popular hero's and this contest was not meant to be a popularity contest!.

  Im tired of seeing mario winning, and you guys must also admit that since B&B, snake and duke lost, the forums are awfully empty! I think that many people already lost their interest as well!-

  well thats it...for now...other blogs comming soon, hope you enjoyed! see ya guys!
