Hey guys. Just a little update on what I'm up to lately with games. I just purchased the new version of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, dubbed the Ultimate Sith Edition, for my PS3 today. Now, I already own Force for my Wii, and it's a great game (Wii owners should absolutely check it out if they haven't already, it's only $20 now!), but I never got to play the HD version of the game. I've been excited for this special edition since it was announced a few months back, and it was worth waiting for. The gameplay and story are awesome, and I'm stoked to play the new levels (I want to play the main campaign first). The game came in a sweet tin box with a neat little collector's card inside and an art booklet. Ultimate Sith Edition is a great buy at $40 if you don't already own the game.

And a quick update on Uncharted 2. I've been playing it like crazy (it's my official GOTY by the way), and I'm just a few trophies away from the platinum! And the Halloween special on the multiplayer was awesome last weekend! I'm at level 32 now!

As far as future game purchases go, my top games to get by the end of the year are New Super Mario Bros. Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and Metroid Prime Trilogy. I also hope to get the God of War Collection very soon!

Superzone out

Wow.

So, I went out and bought Uncharted 2: Among Thieves at midnight the day of release. So far I'm on Chapter 12 (I'm guessing I'm close to the halfway point), and there is no doubt in my mind that this is the best game of 2009, and easily the best PS3 game to date.

The story is amazing so far, with plenty of twists and intense moments. The gameplay hasn't change much from the first game, but anyone who has played the first one knows that it isn't even close to broken, so there was nothing that needed to be fixed. As far as the multiplayer goes, I think I've got quite the addiction ahead of me. The multiplayer is smooth and fun as hell, and there's plenty of perks and leveling up to keep you playing.

If you own a PS3 my friends, you MUST have Uncharted 2. I can't wait to finish the single player mode. Between that, going for the Platinum trophy, and enjoying all of the multiplayer and co-op modes, I've got tons of fun ahead of me.

Superzone out.

Man, I haven't posted a blog in quite some time! I haven't been on GS too much lately (except the forums from time to time), and I think it's about time I get my blog going again! I started up my first year of college about a month ago, so it's kept me quite busy, but now I'm quite settled in and ready for the fall gaming season! I'll be making a blog on my first Uncharted 2 impressions next week so stay tuned!

Superzone

Let's just get this out of the way: if you own a PS3, get Fat Princess.

I downloaded it almost immedietely after it was added to the Store earlier today. I've already played it for over 5 hours! The strategy and action combine perfectly and the game is frickin'hilarious. Download it soon if you haven't, you owe it to yourself.

For every great series with great characters, there's always at least one character that is odd, stupid, or just confusing. I present to you what I believe to be the top ten absolute worst characters in videogames.

10. Raiden (MGS series)

Reasons: He enjoys doing naked cartwheels

I know that Metal Gear Solid series has it's odd moments, but nothing compares to Raiden's naked escapades in MGS2. The last thing I need to see in a videogame is a naked male running around and doing cartwheels. While that alone puts him on this list, he's also on it because he's just such an inferior hero compared to Snake.

9. Jigglypuff (Pokemon series)

Reasons: Kirby pulled off the pink puffball deal already, and in a much more respectable way; she's the worst character in Super Smash Bros. hands down

Jiggy poo is just so annoying. Her voice bugs me (especially the singing) and she's a cheap knock off of Kirby, who is a much more respectable and interesting character.

8. Mario Kart Bowser (Mario Kart series)

Reasons: He's slow, he takes up half the screen, the CPUBowser is a complete ass

Bowser is a ****c videogame villain and everyone loves him... when he's not driving. Bowser in the Mario Kart games is just terrible. He's slow, huge, and just not as easy to control as everyone else in the game. Also, the CPU Bowser is always insanely annoying and feels he needs to knock you against walls every five seconds of a race.

7. Sheva Alomar (Resident Evil 5)

Reasons: Her dialogue is God awful, even by Resident Evil standards; she's pretty much useless half the time, specifically in Professional difficulty

What many people might not know is that Chris originally wasn't even going to have a partner in RE5. After controversy over a white guy killing a bunch of Africans (I never did see why that was such a big deal) Capcom decided to add a new character to the game that wasn't white. Sheva was born and became Chris's partner. Her dialogue is horrendous and she simply doesn't help half the time.

6. Wario (Wario series, Mario series)

Reasons: He's an embarrasment of a villain and is simply obnoxious

I hate Wario. While the Wario Land and Warioware games are fantastic, I just hate the character. He didn't bother me that much until the Mario sports games and SSBB rolled around.

5. Birdo (Mario series)

Reason: She... uhm, it is one of the oddest characters I've ever seen, it shoots frickin' eggs out of it's mouth

I don't really know what to say about Birdo. A villain in Super Mario Bros. 2, everyone wondered both what the hell it was, and why it shoots eggs out of it's mouth. The world may never know..

4. Voldo (Soul Calibur series)

Reasons: He might be the flat out strangest and most disturbing character ever made, his growling and whining are annoying as hell

Voldo will never make since to me. Why is he always hiding his eyes? Why does he always dance around? Why does he sound like a sick puppy when you hit him? Why does he wear such flamboyant clothing? All of this questions will never be answered. I guess I'll just try to enjoy fighting against one of the dumbest characters in all of creation.

3. Big the Cat (Sonic series)

Reasons: He's as smart as a shovel, his fishing levels in Sonic Adventure make you want to kill yourself

The Sonic series has some odd characters, but none compare to Big the Cat. He talks like a three year old with little to no mental capacity, and his level in his debut game Sonic Adventure were absolutely terrible. After running around with another character and having a blast, you then half to play as Big and catch some fish, with awful controls. I personally blame Big for Sonic's last few years of shame.

2. Slippy (Star Fox series)

Reasons: His voice is annoying enough to make you strangle an infant, he never helps you at all but you are always expected to help him

Oh God. Now we're getting into truly horrible territory. Slippy the Toad is well known for causing more harm then good in the Star Fox games. His voice is incredible obnoxious and you ALWAYS have to save his stupid ass. Sure, you also have to save Falco, Peppy, and Krystal from harm, but you actually WANT to save them. If you're like me, everytime Slippy calls for aid I never go to him. I enjoy watching him suffer and die more than playingthe game itself.

1. Tingle (Zelda series)

This video sums him up pretty good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM2mHTXqLAw

Reasons: Just look at him.
