I kind of agree with you. I don't cheat and I know I can never ever be in the say top 100 of any game because those players either cheat, use unfair tactics, or the account is a fraternity house, which has 30 players playing on the same account, so the game is never off. So I just try and do my best and I can usually be in the top 1000 players, with that. It doesn't really mean anything. It means more to see how I stack up against my actual xbox live friends. I like games that give you the option of looking at a leaderboard with just your friends.

Either Skyrim or Zelda.

A better economy! Actually, im curious about the Sony Vita. I want to see that before I decide whether I'm getting a 3DS or a Vita. I think I'm only going to buy one portable during this next generation. Vita will probably be a better system, but hey I grew up with Nintendo. So that will be a tough decesion for me.

Goonies II (NES)

I love this game and it never gets the credit it deserves. It is where Castlevania got its start. It even had some of the RPG elements thateventuallymade itinto Synphony of Night.

Would I rather have Angry Birds or Zelda, Mario, and Metriod? Hmmm...tough call. Really?

My Xbox is broke so I haven't gotten to play Battlefield 3 yet, but I have played all of the old versions (including PC) and all of the Call of Duty games. Year after year Call of Duty always outscored the Battlefield series in review scores. It hasn't even been close. Battlefield always got a couple of points higher scores.

That said: Call of Duty hasn't even come close for me. Sure the single player game in BF has always sucked and CD's was pretty damn good. But when it comes to multiplayer, again for me, BF blows CD out of the water. BF's strategy, especially when hooked up with smart teamates, is much deeper. The class roles and vehicles and the ablility to switch between those on the fly (death) or pick up another teammates pack cannot be matched in CD.

Yeah those pesky blue knights! Those are the ones you have to hit in the back right? Pain in the butt. I cant blame you for downloading the pdf. In the old days there was no internet, so you had no faqs, but I guess you could get some info from Nintendo Power. But primarily you had to just keep trying until you figured it out, and hope you had friends playing the same game that you could get advice from. It sometimes would take a week or two to get past a certain area you were stuck on (which would drive you crazy), but the satisfaction you got when you passed it was something you rarely experience in today's games.

Damn thats pretty cool looking! Nice work! Maybe you found a new business for you. I'm sure die hards would pay top dollar for custom furniture for their favorite games.
