Do you think Mario Tennis and Mario Golf should be on the Wii, imagine swinging that Wii remote like a tennis racket or golf club. Evn more funny, I hate tennis and golf, but Mario makes it fun though. How about we have less crap like Mario Party and more games like I Mario Tennis and Mario Golf shall we?
Guess what: I'm one of the BIGGEST fans of Rare ever, I played every single Rare game on N64 except for Banjo Tooie, but I should get it from the internet. I played all Battletoads games and 1st Donkey Kong Country game on SNES(not the DKC sequels yet, but I still have a SNES). I also played Battletoads on NES. But their move to Microsoft was a huge mistake.
Grabbed by the Ghoulies-Worst Rare game ever, simplistic and boring. Did you know that Rare stopped working on Killer Instinct 3 for the Xbox to make this crappy game?
Conker: Live and Reloaded-Not as good as the original.
Perfect Dark Zero-Ok game that's inferior to the original.
Kameo: Elements of Power-Average game that was worked on the N64 back in 1999, EGM magazine had a screenshot of the N64 version of Kameo.
Viva Pinata-Good game that's too kiddy and complex for me, complex isn't a bad thing, but still.
No triple A games yet, WTH?
If you want to know why Perfect Dark Zero wasn't a success, I have the full coverage, click here:
With Banjo-Kazooie 3 coming out, no wait, it's not Banjo-Kazooie 3, it's Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. And here's what I got to say:
I know you want to be "innovative" and all, but WTF IS THAT??? WHAT HAPPENED TO BANJO???
There better be lots of platforming and the vehicle gameplay shouldn't be focused over 80% of the time because Banjo fans like me are going to get upset. Then again, if it's triple A quality, it'll probably be a must own, no matter how different it is.
If this isn't a triple A title, all Rare has left is Perfect Dark 2 and Killer Instinct 3 to make us have more respect for them again.

I am having a hard time loving the Zelda games, but I haven't broken up with her(it) yet
I only played 3 Zelda games so far:
The Legend of Zelda
Zelda 2: Link's Awakening
The Wind Waker
I need to play the following Zelda games:
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Link to the Past
Twilight Princess
The Minish Cap
Phantom Hourglass
And I have the game systems to play those games on(SNES, N64, Gameboy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Gamecube, Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite), so why aren't I playing them, 3 reasons.
1. Busy playing other games
2. Trying to create my own games using Game Maker, not easy to do
3. Online gaming is too addictive
Don't worry, I'll play these games in the future and maintain a relationship with Zelda.
Also, I'm not going to download a Philips CD-I emulator to play the 3 crappy Zelda games on there, Link creeps me out.
List of a few annoying video game characters:
Peppy and Slippy from Star Fox series

Bubsy from Bubsy series
Awesome Possum from Awesome Possum
Tails and Amy from Sonic series
Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Mr. Resetti in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Nick Kang from True Crime: Streets of L.A.
All of these characters have bad voice acting and do things that would annoy you, approach with caution
You can ask me why these characters are annoying and I'll give you anwsers.

Yes, most Wii games look like they were ported from the PS2 or were just PS2 games with motion sensor controls. But here are some Wii games that really push the hardware to the limits, well, msot at least.
Super Mario Galaxy
Metriod Prime 3 Corruption
Resident Evil 4
Sonic and the Secret Rings
Okami
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
Compared to most games, Mario Kart Wii
Do you agree with my list? You can add more as well.
More game developers should push the Wii to the limits for now on, and I'm looking forward to The Condult, check out the screenshots:

Random News:
I should go see Iron Man, I heard it was awesome from most reviews, tell me how great(or bad) this movie is, because it didn't look too good in the trailers, but I think it's going to be amazing
There are Iron Man games out, and according to IGN, the Nintendo DS version is the best, and it got a 6.2, the PSP version got a 5.5, the Wii version got a 5.0, both PS3 and Xbox 360 versions got a 3.8 and the PC version got a 3.5. How hard is it to make a good Iron Man game?
I think Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence should retire or star in better movies, they have been in too many crappy movies throughout the years. I used to like their movies, but now they suck.
If Rare isn't going to remake Golden Eye 007 and Perfect Dark, these guys will, using the Source engine:

Mini review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Gameplay: 9.5/10
Graphics: 9/10
Sound: 10/10
Replay Value: 10/10
I will review Mario Kart Wii(if I had the game of course)
Overall: Any SSB fan needs this in their collection, in fact, anyone can play this and enjoy it for hours on in.
How long do you play video games in one day? One time I played a game for 7 hours(it was Sonic Adventure), the highest so far.
What would happen if Sonic Unleashed sucks like Sonic Next Gen(more like Last Gen)06, will you quit playing Sonic games on consoles for good?
Expect another crappy games edition episode soon, and I might end up doing Awesome and Decent Games Edition Episodes as well
More Uwe Boll news: As much as I hate him for making crappier than usual movies and ruining the BloodRayne movies as I love the BloodRayne games, you can't get enough of his stupidity, and he claims that Postal is going to be the funniest movie ever made. I sure hope so, because the trailers looks terrible, I didn't laugh once or even smiled, and there's going to be a 9/11 joke that'll offend anyone.
You got to read this, it's from Lord_Alan, he makes a great point about rating games 10/10s, trust me, it's worth it.

I hate mainstream rap as much as the next guy, but to ban it is going too far IMO, why not just stop worrying about it and get on with your lives, you know, ignore mainstream rap in general.
There are 2 things I hate the most about mainstream rap: Lack of originality as most songs seem similar to one another without vareity and the things they rap about, like shoes, HOW DO YOU MAKE A SONG ONLY ABOUT SHOES? Where is the talent?
I always wanted to become a rapper, but screw it, I got better things to do in my life. The songs I wrote at ages 13-15 were about life and the trouble we go through to live in it, you know, stuff that we actually care about. There are some good rap songs out there on the radio, but 95% of them suck.
Various gaming news:
50 Cent is going to star in another game, yes, it's a sequel to Bulletgoof, I mean Bulletproof, and it's going to take place in Iraq. Great, that's just great, all we needed was overrated rappers who go to another country to kill terriosts and our own American troops as well(huh). Want proof, watch this:

With the Halo Trilogy done, you think there won't be any more Halo games right? Wrong, Halo Wars comes out in Fall 2008, it's a prequel to the 1st Halo game and it's a RTS(real time stratgey) game. Can't wait to play this, I haven't played a RTS in a long time, and hopefully learn about the creation of Master Chief. Plus Halo Chronicles is in the works as well. It seems like Halo will llve for a while.
Here's the info I got so far from this game(Halo Chronicles):
The game is toted to be a "new chapter" in the Halo story and is slated to feature a new way of playing games. The game will have a different view point for the Halo trilogy and it's planned to show the Covenant and the humans, not only Master Chief.
To all of you Wii fans, a new Kirby game is in the works, and shockingly, there's going to be a Donkey Kong Wii and it's going to be a 3d platformer like Donkey Kong 64, hopefully better as well.
There's going to be Wii Chess and Wii Music, yay, more casual games(sarcasm).
Banjo Kazooie 3 is, according to various editions of Scribes, the gameplay will be quite different from the other games in the series. It will not be a traditional third-person action and platform game, but instead utilize something "quite different" and that "hasn't been seen in any game before" while keeping the game a platformer. In other words, very unqiue and original.
Duke Nukem Forever is living up to it's name: It's taking forever to come out, it was in development back in April 1997. Why take so long, it's going to have to blow us away or else people won't care about the game anymore. It was going to come out this year, but they changed their minds, how about another 10 years before it comes out.
More news:
How many GTA games have you've played. I only played:
GTA 3
Vice City
San Andreas
GTA4
Never played the one(s) on PS1, Game Boy Advance(you read it right) and PSP(because I don't have a PSP yet).
Do you hate it when people say "You don't deserve to be a gamer if you haven't played this game."?
Newsflash: Not every gamer in the world can play the games you play. I played Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2, but I haven't touched 3 yet, see my point, it's all about choice to play the games yo want and/or need to play in your life.
On gametrailers, I found a video that makes me hate Uwe more than his god awful movies. It turns out that he wants to fight Micheal Bay in a boxing ring, all because Micheal hates his movies. Now, I got 5 questions about this:
1. Why would you box someone who hates your movies?
2. What's the point of doing this?
3. Why do we have to buy 10 Postal tickets to see the match(and Postal looks bad in the trailers)?
4. Why do you keep making bad movies?
5. Are you out of your mind?
Micheal Bay is better than Uwe Boll IMO, he created Bad Boys, which is better than what Uwe can make

Crappy Games Edition Episode 3: Cheetahmen II
I mentioned this game earlier in my blogs, but never went into full depth about it. And let me tell you: It's worse than E.T., Big Rigs, Shaq-Fu, Action 52 and Super Man 64 COMBINED!!! Here's a brief story about the Cheetahmen series:
The Cheetahmen tried to cash in and rip off not only Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but also Battletoads as well, only difference is that the TMNTs and Battletoads will kick thier butts anyday. Even their creation was similar to what it rips off(in a comic book), and the series was never popular for many, many reasons.
After the glitchy and broken Action 52 game(on NES), which contained 52 crappy games including the 1st Cheetahmen, you would think Active Enterprises would never create another game ever again. Wrong, they created this abommanation called Cheetahmen II.
During it's development in 1992, the game was never released in stores. In 1997, some idiot(not trying to be mean, but still) found 1500 copies of Cheetahmen II in a warehouse, people got them and some are on ebay for 750 dollars. Who would pay that much for one of the worst games in the history of gaming, you wouldn't even want to add it to your collection if you wanted to get every NES that exists, it's that bad. It really, really should not had been made, at all and I'm going to tell you why.
Like in the 1st Cheetahmen game, you play as 3 Cheetahmen in correct order of the game: Apollo(uses a crossbow), Hercules(who doesn't have a weapon but uses physical strength) and Aries(uses 2 wooden clubs.) The basic goal of the game is to get to the end of the 6 levels and fight a total of 3 bosses while attacking enemies that get in your way. Sounds simple, but it's not, as it's one of the hardest games ever made.
Lets start with the good
The Good:
You don't have to play it
Well, that's it, and now for the bad
The Bad:
EVERY...SINGLE...THING
Ok, after the title screen, we watch a cutscene about Dr. Morbis and Cygore(main villians) talk about the creation of the Ape Man that will be used to kill the Cheetahmen and take over the world, you know, standard crap you've heard before. These cutscenes are probably the best part of the game sadly, but it's ruined by hearing that annoying music in the background that they used in the 1st game, make it stop.
Now we start this game and there are 2 noticable problems already: Graphics and Sound.
Graphics-It uses the same exact engine as the 1st Cheetahmen, so you should know that the graphics are truly bad. I've seen Atari 2600 games that look better than this, nothing visually stands out(besides the cutscenes before you play the game, but still). This game also has bad animation as well, I'll get more on that later. The 1st 4 levels look the same as well(looks like something you'll see in Mortal Kombat, like a courtyard or something).
Sound-If you play the 1st game, you'll know that the horrible music that's playing right now is the ONLY MUSIC you'll hear in every level and boss fight. Sound effects are garbage too, the jumping sound effects are weird, getting hit sounds weird, and the music stops when you hit a enemy(and when a enemy hits you). That's right: Every time you kill a enemy(or enemy hits you), the music stops for no reason. It shows you how glitchy this game is, and there's more glitches too.
For some reason, you can't duck/crouch in this game, and most enemies are on the ground, meaning that as Apollo, YOU CANT HIT GROUND ENEMIES. Why can't it be like Contra where you can shoot in 8 directions, here you can only shoot left and right. There's no animation when Apollo is shooting his crossbow while running, you'll end up shooting arrows out of your neck, That's right: You shoot arrows out of your neck while running as Apollo. Talk about unfinished. Also, you can be facing the left but Apollo will shoot arrows to the right and vice versa(mainly when jumping while shooing), which makes no sense at all.
The level designs are some of the worst I've seen in gaming. Levels often repeat in the same order. For example, what you see at 1st in a level is pretty much what you'll see as you play the level to the end. They suffer from poor enemy placement. Until you memorize where the enemies are at, you are going to die more than often in this game. Flying enemies like birds can be placed where you would need to jump and then shoot before touching the ground to hit it. That's annoying, they come at you fast, and the controls are stiff. There's no jumping animation, it's just the same animation your on right now and can be hard to land to avoid all those ground enemies in the way. They'll put enemies in places where your going to land at times, making the game more difficult and cheap than it already is. It's nearly impossible to dodge it at times because enemies come at you so random and you usually have a split second to react, trust me, I managed to make it pass some parts without taking damage but you have to be perfect in order to do that. Simply put, the level designs just suck with cheap hits and cheap deaths that await to frustrate you. Most people won't get pass the 1st level, it's that bad.
The hit detection is just so bad. When playing as Hercules(in levels 3 and 4, where you must button mash like crazy), who can hit ground enemies, which is a good thing, if you kill one enemy, you can't kill another enemy even though your cleary hitting the enemy as well, and they can hit you while you can't hit them in the process, you have to wait until they get to the other side of the screen to hit the other enemy that your trying to kill. So broken. Another glitch is that if you stand on a platform above another platform and if a enemy touches the platform below you, not only will the enemy go through the bottom platform(because of another glitch)YOU STILL GET HIT WHEN NO ENEMIES ARE TOUCHING YOU. It will happen, and you'll cuss as well. It's so frustrating.
You have only 3 lives, there's no checkpoints, and no continues after loosing all of your lives, this game was meant for hardcore gamers, but they'll hate it because this game is nearly impossible to play. The point system is useless: You don't get extra lives, no power ups, no high score table, what's the point of a useless point system?
In some levels, your health bar doesn't even display at all. You heard me, which means you can't tell how much damage your taking before death, what kind of crap is that?
Why is every level after 3(4-6) called level 3, I just beat level 3, there can't be 3 level 3s.
More glitches abound: When playing as Hercules or Aries, you can fly, go to the top of the screen, see yourself at the bottom of the screen and die. All you have to do is jump, punch, jump, punch, repeat and you can bypass most enemies with it. If this game wants to be cheap, I should be cheap as well, oh well.
Bosses range from too easy to too hard. In levels 2, 4, and 6, you fight a boss. The 1st boss is Dr. Morbis, and he has to be the easiest boss I've seen in any game. As Apollo, you must simply shoot him as he runs towards you, going in one direction(lef to right), teleports to the other side of the screen(huh) and repeat. What is that, there's no strategy at all, even a 5 year old can beat him, I'll laugh at you if you die against him, he's easier than the levels you had to go through. In level 4, you fight the ape man as Hercules, and if your low on health, you'll never beat him as he is too hard to beat. You must get up close to him and punch him, and you'll always take damage as you punch him, I'm serious, and with bad hit detection, you must be at the right spot to hit him. He basically moves back and forward randomly and guess what happens if you don't kill him before he gets to the other side of the screen: HE NEVER COMES BACK. That's right, the ape man will never fight you again since he's off screen, won't come back because of a glitch and your stuck doing nothing. You must restart the entire game, how horrible is that? And if you do kill him, it doesn't get any better as this BS moment happens:
The game is so buggy and glitchy, you will, never, ever, go to levels 5 and 6. The game locks up and your stranded in level 4 doing nothing at all. You can't go any further, your done with the game, and thank god, I know no one can take anymore of this game.
But wait, you can download a patch if you have the ROM(like I do) to get to levels 5 and 6. When you use the patch, level 1 is now level 5 and level 2 is now level 6. Sad, isn't it. But these levels are such a breath of fresh air as the levels have different backgrounds, but the beyond abysmal gameplay is still intact.
In levels 5 and 6, you play as Aries, who is just like Hercules. The music gets worse as it barely plays and doesn't sound right and will hurt your ears. They basically took the levels from the 1st game with levels 5(blue cave) and 6(green base), so lazy. You basically hit any enemies that get in your way.
The gameplay feels so stale, lifeless and boring, there's nothing new or innovative about it. Your going to get tired of shooting, punching and smacking your enemies before you know it.
The final boss is Cygore, and he's a push over as well. Moving from left to right trying it to hit you with his mechanical claw, simply walk up and button smash and you beat the game, but there's another BS problem:
There's no ending, no cutscenes, no high score table, no congratulations or game over screen, it's just like the 4th level: Your stranded and can't do anything either until you turn the game off. What a way to end one of the worst games of all time.
Strangely, they try to rip off the Mario games by being able to jump below certain blocks and get coins for useless points. I smell a lawsuit.
Replay value comes from 2 player support as you take turns completing each level, but honestly, do you want your friend to suffer as much as you did playing this game? I think not.
The Conclusion
I could make a better game than this in Game Maker, and I should try to make my own Cheetahmen game, probably call it Cheetahmen III(which they were going to make but it was cancelled), make my own graphics and get Cheetahmen remix songs that sound good, at least my game will be good. This unfinished, frustrating, boring, glitchy, buggy, terrible mess should not have been made or found in a warehouse, if this game was in stores, you would probably want to kill the developers for making this, well, you probably wont kill them, but your going to do something about it, arent you? Find every copy of this game and destroy it, there's no fun in this game besides destroying it. This game makes E.T., Big Rigs, Shaq-Fu, Action 52 and Super Man 64 look like good games. I'm serious, IT IS THE WORST GAME OF ALL TIME IMO.
http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/02/xbox-360-blu-ray-console-by-september/
If it's true, they should make a Blu-Ray add on, I'm on my second Xbox 360 and it doesn't have the RROD yet, no wait, they are having a add-on, I wonder how much it will cost. Now imagine games like Mass Effect 2 supporting that, that would be awesome.
