My top 20 games in no order (and early MW2 impressions)

Hey, I know I haven't been blogging much lately but I haven't had too much new to say. Anyway, just for the fun of it, I thought I would list 20 of my favorite games ever (in no order):

The Legend of Zelda: Occarina of Time
Chrono Trigger
Halo: Combat Evolved
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Rocket Knight Adventures
Star Fox 64
Call of Duty 4
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Super Mario Bros 3
Halo 3
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
Jade Cocoon 2
Half Life
Grand Theft Auto 3
Final Fantasy Tactics
Sonic the Hedgehog (the original)
Rock Band 2
Star Wars Battlefront 2
Metal Gear Solid 2 (haven't played too many in this series unfortunetely)
Mega Bomberman
Pokemon Blue

Once again, the order of the list could vary.

In other news, I got Modern Warfare 2 on opening day for the Xbox 360. Although this game received much hype, it's pretty damn good. I think the one thing that caught me by surprise is the Spec. Ops mode, a co-op mode with various challenges like wave defense, elimination, and many more. I didn't expect much but now I find myself playing it more than the campaign, even though it's gotten really hard over time. Speaking of which, I haven't finished the campaign yet (I like to take my time ) but it's awesome so far, although I hear it's short. The battles in each level are epic and just all around fun. The story is good too but sometimes it can be a bit confusing. The multiplayer is, of course, awesome. It's not too much different from CoD4 but it's still as fun as always.

Anyway, this has got to be one of the best games of the year, let alone the best FPS of the year. So far I'd give it somewhere between a 9-9.5.

Expect a full review soon.

Happy Halloween everybody!!!

Too bad I'm too old for trick or treating but at least it's always fun to just dress up in costumes and party.

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, this is my costume (no, the guy in the picture is not me):

A new Rocket Knight Adventures confirmed? o_o

Not sure how old this is but I have just found out that a brand new Rocket Knight Adventures game has been announced for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

This is awesome, I always thought that Rocket Knight Adventures was one of the best games on the Genesis but also one of the most overlooked. It's nice to see him finally return, like a lot of other older games, in a new RKA game (simply titled "Rocket Knight").

I think someone must have heard me or this is one big coincidence. If anyone remembers, a new Rocket Knight game was #1 on my Top 10 Games That Should be in the Xbox Live Arcade so this is great news for me. As for so far? Well, I'm not a huge fan of the graphics but I am definitely keeping my eye on this one. Hopefully it'll be a great game and bring back everything the first game did and more.

For more info, you can check it out here.

UPDATE: A new video has been leaked too. Not a huge fan of the redesign but the gameplay looks interesting.

Wrote a bunch of new reviews (including Halo 3 ODST, Portal and more)

It's been awhile since I wrote any reviews so I finally made some game reviews on some games I've had for some time now. Check em out:

Red Faction Guerrilla (Xbox 360) Had this game since my birthday, great game overall.

Superman Returns Fortress of Solitude (GBA) I doubt anyone here has played this game though.

Portal Still Alive (XBLA) I needed more room on my computer so I decided to get the Still Alive version for my 360. This game is awesome and probably one of the most innovative games this gen.

Bomberman Live (XBLA) This was the first XBox Live Aracade game I bought and just recently wrote a review. Fun game, I wish there was more for single player but a great party game as always.

Halo 3 ODST (Xbox 360) Possibly my longest review in a while, another great Halo game to add to my collection.

Most of them aren't too long except for maybe Red Faction and ODST.

About Me

Hey! I've been gaming for as long as I can remember and I'm a huge fan of both Halo and Sonic. I also love a lot of other games but that would just take too long to type. I own a 360, PSP, GBA, Xbox, a Playstation, and a Nintendo 64. I guess that's it for now.
