Blog #133: Level 54, and been thinking: To Prestige Or Not To Prestige...

So I got to level 54 (on MW2), been playing a lot with the ACR, and have kind of been thinking if I really want to prestige. I've been really behind with everyone, even though I picked the game up day one, but most people I play with are all half-way through the first prestige, while I haven't even gotten to level 70 yet! I play a fair amount, but mostly it's just Domination. Heck, I have seen some users level 70 on the second prestige already, so I doubt I'll want to. Why is my reasoning behind this?

Ican see myself getting a bit through the first prestige then finishing, and I hate not finishing something. I reckon that I'll get to level 70, then over the Australian summer holidays (Late December - Early February) I could get back into it and go for the second prestige then. What do you think? Do you think I should get to level 70 and stop, or do you think I should get off the computer and play the damn game now so I can prestige?

I also came up with the header for my review, which should be coming later than expected. 'This sequel matches and surpases everything little experience and detail of it's predecessor. Play this game.'

Blog #132: Level 28 (on Gamespot, not MW2)

I just leveled up to 28, Bionic Commando.

In the tradition of showing progress, I took a picture. From this...

Didn't go up that many posts, mainly because of Modern Warfare 2, which, I leveled up to 48 and unlocked the ACR . Take care.

Blog #131: Very first forum signature

Check out my very first forum signature, created by yours truly, in Microsoft Paint.

lol

Amazing, right?

I think I made it either late 2006 or early 2007, shortly after those images were released. Also, I just hit level 46 on Modern Warfare 2. Can't wait to get the ACR, which is my fav. gun in the whole game.

Blog #130: Mario Kart Wii Review

Here is my review for Mario Kart Wii, for the Nintendo Wii (obviously).


Plus: Cheap blow the player coming first
Minus: Cheap blows occur every time you are coming first
Interesting: Cheap blows are what makes it fun

Mario Kart Wii is the next game in the mario kart series, first on the NES/SNES, then Game Cube and now the Wii. The graphics have been revamped and, if you haven't played the DS version which came out before, then you'll have a blast playing through the new stages. The thing is, there are essentially no new stages in the Wii version. There is the new addition of bikes and an extra character, but the overall game feels just like a revamp. Don't get me wrong though, because this revamp is for the better.

All, or most, of the cIassic courses are here and the 'childish' animations and graphics make it feel immersive. This is a racing game that you can play with up to 4 players locally, and a few more online. It makes great use of the Wii remote but there are other control opitions, including the cIassic controller. The Grand Prix, the 'campaign' mode, has three different dificulties and 8 cups to play in. The more championships you win the more characters and karts you unlock. It can feel repetitive so it's best not to spend that much time on it during a small span or time.

The story is really, not there, and the replay value is just the same as the value the game gives during the first playthrough, but with new characters. The really big thing that infuriates people are the power-ups. They change the course of the race, in terms of positions, but can still add a new level of entertainment. Some of the power-ups you get damage the first player, sometimes so hard that they can go from first to last in a matter of seconds, but depending on the difficulty you can easily fly to the start of it - granted you don't get frustrated and throw the controller.

Grab yourself this game, grab yourself a few buddies and play it to death. Just, make sure they're not hardcore gamers. It's best to think of this as a non-serious game, because that's what you're most likely going to be feeling in the heat of battle. Don't take losing seriously in this racer, because the enjoyment overpowers the frustration.

Story: N/A
Gameplay: 4/5
Graphics: 3/5
Multiplayer: 5/5
Replay Value: 3/5

Overall Rating:
7.0 - Good


If you want to give my reviewa thumbs up, head over here. What review is next? You know it. You've seen it coming. That's right, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Will it be my GOTY? Will it score a 10/10? You'll need to wait and find out. Thanks for reading and have a great week.

Blog #129: ACII: Black Edition

So I, uhh, picked up my copy of the Assassin's Creed 2: Black Edition with the figure, 3-bonus levels, soundtrack and the game, but the thing is I don't get to play it 'till Christmas. I asked my mum if we could preorder it a while back and save it until Christmas, so that happened, and she gave me one last look before she hid it from me. I even took a picture of it...

AC2: BE

I have been informed that I'm getting a HDTV for my room, meaning no more 1995-SDTV for me. Things are going well, concert was great. I also have a new avatar thanks for Dan_Lero. Hope y'all have a good week, or weekend. Thanks for reading.
