Alright, when you're looking online; trying to figure out whether a game is worth buying, generally, you look at reviews am I right? I mean, what better way to know if something is good than to hear it from other gamers; people who share the same tastes and standards that you do. Now that being said, I'll admit I don't fully listen to the reviews that come from the mouths of actual review sites all the time. Sure they are just as credible, but they tend to be a little more unbiased than myself, and do not always share my taste in games. Normally, this is where I would hope the other gamers, to come in and share there oh so biased opinions.

Alas, to anyone who chooses to use this method, I'm afraid you'll actually be left in the water. Because for some reason, people who post reviews(at least the majority that I've seen). Don't actually post reviews. Instead they think a "THIS GAME IS THE AWESOME!" will suffice, and expect others who read their review to take their advice. Now either this is due to a lack of effort, or they just flat out don't really know what to say. I know I've come across countless people who will say a game is great and then simply respond with "it just is".

I mean, there has to be some reason why you found a particular game enjoyable, right? It just isn't good by the grace of someone's god. And it sure as hell isn't great "just because". Believe it or not, there is actually a system for this. It's simple too. It doesn't require three page essays of every little aspect. I just expect to see something to tell me why it's worth checking out. So, out of my own boredom, I shall sit here and write out a little guide for those planning on writing reviews, so they can actually write one that is helpful.

1. Presentation

Now, as much as I've always said graphics and music and all the bells and whistles are really just a secondary attribute to gaming, it really can be an integral part of making a game good. Just look at Dead Space for example, it had good graphics, good music, and a mood that you will be hard pressed to match. That is really all this category is about. Visuals, sound, atmosphere and story(Even though that should be something much by itself).

Graphics:

This should be one of the easiest things to judge, because generally you can play five minutes, and be able to decide whether they appeal to you or not. But don't just say whether you like them or not. Like the whole of a review, your parts need to detail it to some degree. In this case, graphics run the gambit from cartoony cell shaded graphics to the dark mature and realistic. And not every person likes cell shaded or realistic graphics. Detail why you liked them, and maybe it will give others an idea of whether they will like the visual feel to the game or not.

Now clearly this category can get broad, and some people can pick apart everything from details to textures and lighting. But, I'm not gonna sit here and explain ever tiny little detail. Just pick out what you like and say it in the review. The bare bones can really be helpful sometimes.

Sound:

Sound in itself encompasses more than one thing. This includes voices overs, music and sound effects, all which will roll around to equaling the all important atmosphere of a game. Now in games like Guitar Hero, or Rock Band, music is probably the most important feature, and really will come down to musical taste, so that should be a no brainer. BUT, with everything else, music should be suitable for what is going on. I don't want to hear an epic power ballad if I'm sneaking around, trying to survive in a horror game. Granted I don't think that's ever happened but you get the idea.

Now sound effects, I'd say may even be just as important as music. The right sound at the right time can either make you crack a grin and smile or flinch expecting a big baddie to pop out at any second. Hell, even a level without any music at all can really turn out to be great if they sounds fit the tone of the game just right.

Voices which I'll admit, have actually ruined a game for me. I don't want to be in the middle of what should be a serious cut scene and then I end up laughing my face off at the horrendousness of a bad voice actor. Other games, I actually enjoy the cut scenes just because of the acting(sometimes more than the game play itself to be totally honest). So if a game has stellar voices, make note of it, some people really appreciate this.

Atmosphere:

Really, atmosphere is a combination of every other presentational aspect. It is the mood of the game and should drive how you feel in general. Now, I'm not saying you should be jumping around every corner expecting to get slaughtered, or cracking up at every line of dialogue and stupid sound effect. BUT, it should at least be close. As I noted above, Dead Space did this spectacularly, while I'm not exactly the type to get scared, I did feel a sense of edge. That is a very good thing.

Story:

As I said, I could do an entire section on just this. But, for the sake of anyone reading this, I'll keep it brief. Story is in my opinion, the most important aspect of any presentation. If you can actually get absorbed into the game, start caring for the characters and really think about your actions in game, then I think you have a good story on your hands. Now, there are a lot of games that will get praised for having a good story and I'll strongly disagree. So it's best to play this one out as purely an opinion based thing. Not everyone thinks Halo has the best story ever after all.

2. Game Play

For all purposes we are playing games. Game play is clearly the most important part of that; everything from the sing player AI, to the connection speed of the online multiplayer is important. Thankfully though, you don't need every aspect to be perfect in order to have a good game. Now, I'll keep this one as brief as I can, because there is just so much someone with the knowledge could go on and on about when it comes to game play, but not everyone understands what collision detection is(Let's try and keep things casual safe).

Single Player:

I've always been under the impression that the single player campaign and or other modes should always be the driving force behind a game. If everything that happens while I'm playing by myself is enjoyable, I would hope that things would translate into a multiplayer setting(at least in multiplayer games that is). Now, usually the biggest problem with most games is bad controls and cameras. Honestly, I've dropped games within five minutes just because of these little bugs. So, just outline how it controls, and if you can see everything you are doing(if you want to include this information. The more helpful, the better though).

Now, generally, a stealth game is just looked at as a stealth game. But, if you can highlight little details for someone and explain to them how things work just a little bit more in depth. It really can be a game changer. Say for example Sam Fisher seems to have a hard time staying quiet, and you are setting off alarms and having baddies shoot at you for no reason(generally this will show that the game is too hard and has problems with some of its game mechanics; and no, I've never really played Splinter Cell). Just small things, you know?

For fighting games and shooters… And any game type for that matter, AI is also a key to the single player experience. Now, stupid AI isn't really a bad thing, as I know some people enjoy breezing through the campaign and thus making oneself look like a complete bad ass. Yet others, who enjoy a challenge, don't want the AI to just stand there while they mow them down with a mini gun. They want the AI to fight back and have a potential chance of killing them during every encounter.

Multiplayer:

Even though this isn't the whole shebang for me, multiplayer has become extremely important to those who choose to incorporate it into their games. Some games entire lives thrive almost entirely on multiplayer and have huge player bases to show for it. So never discount a game just because it has a weak single player experience.

Now, clearly, why you like that type of game is left to be said, and you can basically repeat so of the same stuff from single player here. How are the controls, are they responsive? Do all of the mechanics mesh together well and make a fair, enjoyable experience? And you can include a few things about bugs. Games have been ruined entirely because there have been just too many exploits, and make it impossible for a new player to jump in without being horribly destroyed on sight.

Now, connectivity is equally as important. So if you felt like a game was too laggy no matter what the connections showed, then chances are this is a problem. So, outline how easy it was to get into a game. How easy it was to stay in the game, and whether or not disconnects were frequent for others. This is something you can almost be sure of not being an opinion oriented thing, Who likes a laggy game filled with incompetent servers.

Yet again, there are boatloads of things you can bring up in a review to actually make it useful. So this was just a little bit of a help page. You don't need to waste space with irrelevant reviews if you just take a few minutes to actually write out some of your thoughts. So, if you do have problems writing a review that actually has a point, I hope this little bit of information was helpful in some way. Otherwise I've just been blowing steam.

Recently, Gamespot has had a little bit of a controversy on its hands. Which has sent fanboys of two breeds into a frenzy. So unless you've avoided checking out the "Greatest Game Hero" contest, you know that the two "protagonists" of Bubble Bobble fame actually toppled Master Chief, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Of course anyone with any small knowledge of the internet knows how and why they accomplished this, and obviously Gamespot staff have caught on, and now are removing any votes that were considered cheating.

Now, I have to point out that the reason for that site doing this seems to be a simple matter of spite. Voting Bub and Bob over one of the most popular characters in gaming history. Now, I'm not saying B&B deserve any more merit than Chief, but I can say that I respect the message that can be taken from this entire fiasco. When you look at the title it simply says "Greatest Game Hero" and let me emphasize Hero. Not most popular, which is essentially what contests like this always turn into. A battle between the heroes with the most fan boys.(Anyone who has seen the Game Faqs contests of similiar nature knows this is generally Link and Cloud Strife.)

Obviously I'm not dumb enough to believe that this would turn into a proper contest of weighing options and doing a little research. Of course it would just be popularity, and of course mister Chief would be one of the top candidates. Yet, the second someone had the audacity to vote Chief off, alarms began to go off and people instantly began to black list B&B as if they had done something truly horrendous.(Aside from the proxies, of course.) Now, if Chief can be voted forward in a Herocontest simply on popularity, shouldn't B&B have the right to cash in on other people's dislike for the overly hyped spartan? Or over the blue speedy Hedgehog for that matter?

Things like this are just a hazard of doing this as if it is a popularity contest. If it was done the way it is supposed to, I'm sure the brackets would look a lot different by this point. Instead of things like Pacman, who realistically, is not a hero. We would get interesting, deep characters like The Nameless One of Planescape Torment. Or Kirby for that matter.(Who regretfully lost to the yellow eating machine.)

So, I'm just going to go through some of the more mind boggling winners of the first round, just to try and drive home exactly what I mean here. Because honestly, what are some of us even thinking? Before I do though, let me reitterate that my contest bracket was designed as a popularity one because I know how it would turn out. SO don't flog me for being sour about the results.

First one I come to, Pikachu over Nathan Drake. Now call me crazy, but in an actual contest of heroics, the little yellow electric mouse doesn't really carry any stock. At all, he isn't a hero, he is simply a tool for the hero of the Pokemon games to use. The logic in having Pikachu labeled a hero says that instead of Link, we should have the master sword. So, somehow a TOOL managed to beat Drake, who I'll assume is a treasure hunter who pulled some heroics of some sort on some nasty baddie.(Sorry, I haven't played Uncharted, it's on my to do list eventually.)

Niko Bellic over The Apprentice, now this one may purely be an opinion thing, as with Apprentice, he can swing in either the Heroe or villain roles, but, come on Niko is a crook. Yes, he has some sort of motive behind everything he does throughout GTA4, but he still remains a murderer thief and drug trafficker. What did he save by shooting a bunch of pointless thugs and a large handful of blue? Nothing. On the other hand at least Apprentice has the opportunity to try and be the good guy. He can attempt to take down the Emperor and be the good guy. Yes, he fails and this his heroics are diminished, but come on, who doesn't love a good tragedy?

Then we have Yoshi beating Liu Kang. This one should be obvious to the eye, as it's essentially the same argument as Pikachu. Yoshi is a tool at least, and a side kick at most. Kang fought for the safety of our entire realm against some of the most bad ass ninjas to ever exist. Yoshi saved a baby. Scales seem kind of one sided, don't they?

Now, this does bring me to Bub and Bob beating Chief. Now, I won't lie, I hate the Master Chief character. I think he is one dimensional and lacks any worth. Yet, going on the fact that he is a hero, I have to say he SHOULDhave beaten our rainbow colored dragon, dino guys. I mean, saving earth from an outside alien force shouldn;t be taken lightly. Especially when they have a ring of mass destruction that will trahs our entire system. What did B&B do? Shoot some harmless bubbles?

Pacman over Kirby? I said it once, this one should be the other way around. Pacman did what? Ate some dots, some fruit and some pie and terrorized some ghosts? That hardly seems heroic to me folks. Especially when ut next to the lovable pink puff of Kirby. Who managed to save Dreamland multiple times, all while being cute. I could have sworn the female gamers would back him.(I know you do't all love cute things) Kirby is more of a hero than alot of the nostalgic characters on here by a long shot.

I could go into the second round, and ramble about the atrocious victories we had there, but I think you get the point already. I could also go into detial about some of the heroes who lost to less deserving and more mundane heroes. Yet I won't because that may ruin the point behind this, as I would have some bias in some areas.

So in the end, I'll admit B&B having a potential DQ on their end is a good thing, and Gamespot would be doing the right thing. Just keep in mind that bringing back Sonic the Hedgehog won;t change things. This contest will still go to one of the three most popular characters in gaming. So just stop complaining. This is either going to be a heroe who can't speak and does the same thing over and over again. A plumber jacked up on drugs who does the same thing over and over. Or one overly angsty blond guy who takes all the credit for a group effort. None of which who should be in the running for the all time greatest heroe in gaming lore.

Episode three of our very under the radar podcast. Please give it a listen? xp

How's it going everyone. Figured I'd post this here so hopefully some fellow gamers will check it out. Me and a couple of buddies SumJuggaLoGuy and Ejoman3002 got together and formed a podcast. It just deals with gaming news in general, but be nice, we are obvioulsy rough on the edges being new to the concept, and only have a phone to work with. It'd be great if you all could give it a listen and forward it to nay friends who have similiar interests.

Thanks in advance to anyone who cares to listen.

Alright, figured I'd post a quickie to keep ya'll in the loop of **** Got my hands on the **** Star Wars: The Force Unleashed demo and I have to say it is **** sweet! This game is building and building and I'm getting sick of waiting for it. Looking like it'll be my favorite adventure title in a few years now. I like how they are putting together the combat system with all of it's little combos, looks to be great. As well, I'll probably have less Live time very soon than I like, I have to get a job very soon, which is all good considering the wave of games that will be launching in the fall. So having the extra spending money will be great, can't let these bastards slip by me, or I will find myself hollowed bored, and ashamed.

Ok, after a stint of silence, I return to ask you all right now, what the **** Yeah, that's right, the same **** I always ask. Right now though, I think I have more reason to ask it than I usually do. This time, I am not only attacking the intelligence of my fellow man, but now I have to question my fellow gamer as well. Now I find myself with a question as to our care for the gaming industry itself. Do we care that it continues to flourish and continue to make a rise into the main media of entertainment, or do we want it to float where it is, and die in a glorious **** ball, with ****ing idiots trying to dictate what the developers should do? If the opinions I see floating around our community continue to rise, then I guarantee we'll go into a slump. Developers do listen to us after all, whether some people want to let that pierce their miniscule little brains for one ****ing second. Ok, before I get ahead of myself, I guess I need to present you all with a topic. While roaming mindlessly through the forums to try and find some kicks, I happen across a few Fallout 3 threads, now inside these I find numerous bashers crying out wolf. They assume already that Fallout 3 is bad, why? Well **** these morons are saying it will be bad because it isn't Fallout 1 or 2... wait one ****ing second. Are you serious, these people hate it for being new? What type of ****ing ass clapping society were they raised in where they think that innovation is bad. We wouldn't even be where we are if all of our games didn't change you degenerate morons!

Ok first off, let me analyze the past opinions for just a moment. In the era of the PS2, GCN and original Xbox, we actually praised innovation and change in gaming. We didn't ****ing cry like little 12 year old **** whenever someone said they were going to modify their series. In fact we welcomed it did we not? Hell we welcomed innovation and change in every aspect of the industry. As much as I despise the low brow punk ass community that follows the game, Halo CE changed the face of online console gaming as we know it forever. Thus we flocked to the consoles that we knew would bring us something new and exciting to keep our over expecting minds exploding with gaming ecstasy. We didn't stay playing our SNES and Genesis systems as our primary consoles, we didn't even use our PSX of N64 as our primary consoles. Those were in the past, and they just didn't have enough to stand up to what we were receiving now? So what the **** happened now, are we all of a sudden to ****ing good for innovation? We aren't you cock munching retreads. We would **** and complain and spew our guts out about how the industry doesn't care what we want anymore. Why? Because that would be the cool thing to do, ask for something opposite of what we originally wanted.

Now look at how we treat our games in the current day. Even though we have innovative brand spanking new games coming out that push the envelope in ways we couldn't even dream of, we for some reason flock towards **** that hasn't changed much at all. GTAIV for instance received unanimous praise. What for? Is it not just the same **** we played in San Andreas or 3? Just with a few more very lame ass new bells and whistles? **** if it's those little bells and whistles that make our game great, then what the **** is the problem with these **** ingrates who think a series getting a new engine and a complete revamp is a bad thing? Sure it's a gamble, but from what I see, these games do pretty damn good in the long haul. If they were to just give Fallout 1 or 2 a shiny new graphics engine and sell that, face it, you people would be ****ing pissed. You'd get the game you are currently asking for then come begging for something ****ing new. You'd hate the game because it wasn't different, yet you hate the game for being new. Christ, it's like watching a retarded right handed kid try and jerk off with his left hand for **** sakes. I really think these people complain for the joy of complaining.

Now, next attack shall progress on; another reason why these people are attacking the series changing games. They think being "Old Skool" is cool. Guess what, I say **** you, **** your damn old games, and **** your petty mind for actually trying to preach your bull**** to us. If you don't like the new games in the series, take you damn old PC games into the corner with you, jerk off a little bit then ****ing play them if they get your ****ing boat floating so well. There re legions of people who eagerly await these games that will change the landscape of their respective series. They want to see how these gambles pay off, and you running around preaching your ignorant **** is not going to change a thing. They will still go out and buy the game. They will still play the game once they have pulled it out of it's plastic wrap, and most likely they will enjoy it. They don't care how many "10 reasons this game sucks" topics you make before hand. You don't know if it will suck or not... Wait, hold on one ****ing jolly second here. What the **** makes you think you can say it sucks? Have you played it yet you dickwads? Do you have some sort of sixth sense that allows you to dive into the future and play unreleased games? What type of bull**** is this, you can't judge a game before it is out you mental midgets. It doesn't ****ing work like that, and even if you could, what really makes you think we give two rats asses what the **** you say. You aren't the all mighty masters of the gaming world. Just shut your god damn faces and wait to make fun of the game until you have played it and formulated a valid opinion you **** sucking ****.

****ing retards... Ok now, let me bring out another little argument for the protection of innovation in the gaming industry. Look at humans themselves. Would we be anywhere near as smart and technologically advanced as we are if we didn't evolve a little. I'm sure we would suck pretty bad if we were still neandrothals. **** we would blow, why? Because we didn't change with the times so we could deal with our environments. We didn't let our minds expand so we could make our lives better and more interesting. This **** can e applied to the gaming world to you know. It needs to change with the over critical pack of jack ass's that formulate what looks like most of our world. It needs to be able to change and give them what they really need, because in all honesty, I don't even think I know what this pack of intensely idiotic mongoloids know what they reall need or want. They say one thing, only to say another when a different game is involved. They want to be different and say what no one else is saying... You know, I think people are saying it for a reason you ****ing jackass. They aren't saying the same thing to be cool, chances are, they are saying it because it is just the truth.

So let me clarify this one more time for you. I am all for the games of old, I enjoy some of them, but! For the current time and the current generation of gaming, innovation is a good ****ing thing. If we let ourselves float around on the same spot we will get overly bored with our favorite little past time. We will begin to say gaming is a bad ****ing thing. Do we want to go into the future of gaming knowing that some people would like to destroy it and stop our progression completely? **** that **** I say we terminate these little bugs right here right now. I'll pencil them in one by one for a quick meeting with my buddy grim... Oh what a ****ing shiny day in gaming that would be, when we lose all the stupid ignorant moronic cock munching **** faces that think we need to stop ****ing and complaining and just wait before they start spewing their anti progression bull **** for the world to see...Christ these idiots piss me off!

Ok, it is no secret to anyone, that the video gaming industry has a habit of throwing us trash. This trash can even be used just to hold us off for a small amount of time, before the next major release is made, which actually turns out to be a bad idea! Throwing us a 'sequel' or 'prequel' game for no reason usually ends up as just bad trash on your doorstep the next day. So, I got a little bit of a suggestion for you *cough*SquareEnix*cough*Guitar Hero*cough* stop giving us these half assed games you stupid assclowns! Just because you slap a well known name onto the front packaging, does not instantly mean you will have a large amount of success to face. Oh hell now, in fact, I can assure you, instead, you'll be slapped with a whole lot of criticism's and just flat out complaints! There have been plenty of offenders of this, and the sad thing is. They get away with it. People actually buy these ten second piles of crap.

Activision has already pulled this over us once. They released Guitar Hero: Rocks the '80's and I only could think," Why the **** are people actually paying $60 for this **** I mean, I hate to call in the mental capacity of my peers and say that a lot of people are slowly succumbing to the duller more dense side of the mental spectrum, but have you all gone ****ing retarded! Seriously, you are aware they could have just made all of these songs downloadable on Guitar Hero III right? I mean, they had the license, so you could have got this **** for a hell of a lot cheaper. Of course people didn't think about it when they rushed to get down their pre orders. Then when they skipped home with their shiny new game, they discovered that their sorry asses got ****ing ripped off royally. Thankfully the good people who worked as reviewers noticed," Hey, Activision is robbing us blind!" and pretty much blammed the **** on sight. Now, must I point out that Activision is up to it again? I'm sure that plenty of you have noticed the new Aerosmith edition of Guitar Hero will be launching soon. Personally the second I heard it I tasted something foul in my mouth. Take one part successful game series and another part uber famous classic rock band Aerosmith, and what do we get, another recycled piece of ****ing trash game, hoping to ride the skirts of success of both its parent ingredients. So, save us the trouble you greedy bastards, just give this stuff to us as DLC then go have fun raping some poor bay donkey in its sleep... ****bags...

Now, who else shall I throw into this little spew pot of craptacular idiots who manage to befuddle our poor gaming minds with this particular brand of grade A bull****? Of wait, that's write, everyone's favorite RPG hit factory (Hahaha, I got jokes) Square Enix. Now, let's not lie to ourselves, Square may be a very well known company in the industry, but how many times have they produced a game that was pure bull****? How many people actually believed they wouldn't pull the crap game move with the Final Fantasy series? It has happened more than a few times now. Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus, Final Fantasy X-2 (I hate to even acknowledge this games existence), Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (And all its spin offs), Final Fantasy XI (Trying to ride the online thing...Dumb ****s), Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. Now I know, most people will say that some of these games were descent, but you know what? I really don't give two bald eagle's asses what the **** you or the reviewers say. It's just another example of how you can slap a good title onto a game and people will buy it, like it and probably somehow manage to rape it. I mean, seriously, look how long they have been riding the VII wave of success. It's actually kind of sickening how they get away with this kind of bull****.

Know who else is actually considered ****ing stupid in my opinion? Tecmo, yeah, I'm sure you all know what I am talking about. Ninja Gaiden seriously, 3 ****ing games, and they were all the same god damned thing! Yet we still bought them. Why did we buy them, because they had prettier graphics ever time? What the flying **** man? Seriously, is this what the game developers think of us? Are we seriously seen as drones that will buy just about anything set in front of our faces? I would love to protest the idea, but I have lost faith because of this one, people bought Ninja Gaiden and all it's exact same spin offs. They even loved the series enough to make Tecmo make a second one. Of course it is nice to see them finally making a sequel, but really at this point I just don't give a **** I lost interest in the entire series after the whole three of one game thing. Honestly, I'm guessing NG2 will feel the exact same as the first three NG games. Then again, I can't remember the last time I enjoyed any type of video game made by Tecmo, those poor stupid ****ing fools.

Know what, **** it; I'll just call out a whole ****ing genre of gaming on their **** Every single ****ing sports game that has been made has just been worse than the last in its respective series. Every MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL and NCAA game that has been released is just a slightly more hacked up version of the last good on in the series. Sure, I understand that the pressure from the sports fans are heavy every year for a new one, but really, should they care that these people **** for these games to come out, and then flat out say it sucks when they do? Seriously EA! Take the safe route take maybe two years to perfect these ****ing things before you set them loose on us every year. Save us some money to buy a good game instead of buying every single edition of these you make. I can live without one of these things every year no problem, there is generally better games coming out all throughout they year. We will live; we will learn that there are plenty of better games to play... Though even if you do start having a little discretion with your games, I'll still think ya'll are idiots.

See my point? developers can get away with it. They do get away with it, and we just buy, buy, buy and buy some more. So really who can blame them for milking a single series over and over again until we just stop caring if it is good or not. It is our own fault, we are the stupid ones, and they are just good businessmen I guess... Sometimes I worry about the intelligence of the human species...

Anybody who knew me before I began to rant and rave on Game Spot knows that I enjoy doing certain things. Now, usually these things involve just flat out pissing off people. Luckily for everyone, I also enjoy pissing off one group that can get pretty damn entertaining. Fan boys the object of my bashing for your reading pleasure. Of course I do this because generally speaking, they seem to love things that aren't as good as these hyped up kids say. Thus they have caught my attention and have spawned a list! A list that I will inform you all of the top ten over rated games!

10. Bioshock

Alright, at this point someone wants to throw a milk shake at me. They are thinking,' what the **** is your problem! Bioshock was a milestone for FPS games you jack ass!!' Too bad I don't give a **** if that's what it is. Biohock just isn't that great. I'll give it a great single player experience. I'll say it is unique, but you know what? That doesn't mean **** I was a single player game, and that's it. Where is the replayability in this thing? You want me to pay 60 dollars for it? Are you on crack 2K! Know what I say to that? Lick my crack and go suck off a goat.

9. Starcraft

Now the bulged eyes and angry fan boys are starting to foam at the mouth. Of course, I say the little clowns should be happy. I am being nice simply because I enjoyed Star Craft. This **** is something that really gets me. Star Craft has been said to be one of the best RTS games of all time. When you know what! WRONG! It was good for it's time, even then, I wouldn't consider RTS games from its time that good anyway. We have way better RTS games out these days that actually get lower scores than Starcraft. What the flying **** is that? What the hell is wrong with us when we let hype decide how we few games. It may be a classic, but screw that, I would rather lick a filthy carpet in a drug dealer's home now than go back and play this game.

8. Legend of Zelda

Oh hell yeah! Now I'm really going to have some fun. Legend of Zelda, the biggest most repetitive pile of trash I have ever seen. Seriously, who aside from me have noticed that LoZ games are all the same recycled things, in flashier packages? I can even give one super spoiler for every LoZ game right here, right now, you ready? You are a bum ass kid who does nothing with his life but sit around fondling himself. Out of nowhere you are the hero of time (Or whatever stupid name they give him) Then you have to go save some princess from some fat ass named Gannon, you go through all the elemental temples, you fight Gannon and then you DON'T get laid. My point is clear. Trash...

7. Guitar Hero

Onto a game that is the saviour of tons of tons of social rejects fantasies. This game tries to give you the illusion of being a rock star. It gives you the illusion that you are a drugged up, washed up punk who doesn't even write his own songs. Oh no, you aren't a cool rock star. Screw that, you play popular music! Now of course someone's thinking that has nothing to do with the point of this article. Does it look like I care? I don't. Guitar Hero is entertaining, but I hate to hear people standing around being all, "I can play Through the Firs and the Flames on expert, I am the total and complete **** Then I think, huh, I wonder if he could even figure out how to put out a single rift on a real guitar.

6. Final Fantasy VII

Take a borderline emo hero, a stereotypical villain, and throw in a giant jugged brunette, and a vampire. What do you get? Apparently a formula for reusable success. Now it may be just me, but doesn't the final in this games title means they don't reuse the same characters over and over again? Is it just me or did that completely get blown to hell? I like FF games, hell I love them. Yet not as much as the 7 fan boys and girls, seriously, I would feel sorry for Vincent and Sephiroth if they were real, these kids would actually rape these guys on site, and they wouldn't enjoy it. These fans would probably shove all kind of unmentionable crap up these guys' asses. It wasn't that good, shut your faces already!

5. Metal Gear Solid

I stalked your wife. That's a skill that Solid Snake can say he has? Do we really want to idolize this man and his crappy watered down games that make no sense to my brain. Nah, I'm just ****ing with you (About me not understanding Metal Gear). I really just don't see why this gets such good scores all over the place. I don't even see why it was made in the first place...Enough said.

4. Diablo

Click, click, and click! Oh my god, a monkey can do it! Oh my god, my baby sister could do it. Yet I still hear people bragging about how ****ing good they are at Diablo, how they beat the devil without trying. Know what my little emotionally deprived friend? Shut it! Find a game that requires some skill to play. Find a good game to play. Quit hyping this dinosaur you basement dwelling, Golem resembling **** bags! Honestly, I hate this game. I don't even like anything about it. I played it for like two hours then just got tired, bored and just extremely aggravated at just how ****ty it was. Seriously, I'd rather watch Smeagle and ET have sex than play this. (Go Bob Saget!)

3. World of Warcraft

WARNING! This game will prevent you from ever getting laid! Do I really need to explain this one? It's just one of those games that will just die down one day and then its players will notice. Holy crap, I don't even have a shard of a life. I have no hope of merging back into society ever again, and I should shoot myself for devoting my life to this stupid not so good game!!

2. Grand Theft Auto

Probably the game most played by gangster wannabe retards all over the planet. It let's them simulate actually being a bad ass son of a gun. Let's them talk as if they actually pulled some poor fool out of his sedan, beat the high holy **** out of him and then just drove away, blasting at the cops out his window as he went. Honestly it's no wonder why this thing sold so damn well, it's geared for these people. It's geared for monkeys. It's geared for people who actually like this stuff. I don't want to play a game that is even geared towards this sort of thing. I don't care if it is the king of open world games; it is a morally incorrect piece of crap. Now shut up and let 4 fail already.

1. The Halo Series!!

Seriously, who didn't see this one coming? I mean, not only do I have some sort of vendetta against this game, but in all honesty it just ****ing sucks ass. Seriously, Halo sucks a giant elephant's ass. It is average in every way, so because it has such large hype, it has been downgraded to a pile of crap (Bet ya thought I was going to say ass again). It has annoying fans, average multi player, and a story that isn't the drawing. Why the hell is it considered so damn good? Seriously, someone explain this to me! I am dying to know why you people like it so ****ing much. Next time I actually play this, I swear, if one more dumb ass tells me he's a 7331 pwning machine or some other dumb ass comment. I will hunt him down and shoot him in the face. Now, I'm tired of even having this thing in my mind, so you get the point.

All right, I'm done. I've gotten my randomly out of nowhere frustrations out and am smiling like an idiot. Now, I know I was mean, very vulgar and probably a little offensive. As always though, I really don't care. I hate over rated games. I hate fan boys, so this blog was fun, and I can't wait for someone to discover it and get majorly offended. Now, I have better things to do (Ok, I'm lying.), so later all.

As much as I aspire to at some point, play a video game professionally. There is one thing in the gaming world that just flat out pisses me off. This little peeve occurs strictly while online playing inside no-ranked matches. It occurs in little foolish gamers who for some reason beyond my own comprehension, seem to think they need to be competitive in the non ranked section. Why, I ask you, do they seem to think they need to come online, and get pissed at every single thing that happens inside the game? Why? It makes no sense, and in the long run, just ends up ruining the fun for everyone else. I can't exactly answer the question where these way too serious players come from, but I sure as hell have a few...Opinions on the matter.

First off, and really this is probably the most basic of all of these little theories of mine. They just suck at the game. In fact they suck so hard, it's like they grabbed a vacuum hose attached it to an elephants balls, and sucked them, straight off. Now because of this very high rate of suckage, they just can't cut it in ranked play. Thus they go where they, as great nubbers, believe they will find players of a lower level. Then, when they step inside one of the unranked games, they still get rusty spoons shoved up there butts. Then, in a classic showing of immaturity (Not the cool immaturity possessed by myself) they start to piss and whine, telling us all that we suck, and that we need to go do some sort of unmentionable act to ourselves. Hmm, odd coming from someone with the lowest kill score.

Now, wait, this type of act doesn't just occur in the player with the lowest kill score. Oh no, it can also occur with the players who are good, yet not good enough. Interesting...These guys just have an inferiority complex in my eyes. So what do they do to try and cover up there emo-esque opinions of themselves! Well they flaunt there skill over people who really don't try or give that much of a care. That's right, they go into a unranked game, try as hard as there little heart would allow. Then they proceed to tell us all we are newbs and that we need to learn to play the game. Hmm, some people really need a shrink don't you think? It might help there self image, and will make our little techno halls a little less dork free.

Now! Moving onto the next brand of ranked gaming reject! This kid stands at five feet tall, weighs less than your kid sister, and sounds like her too. That's right boys and girls, we now meet the pre teen aged boys of the gaming community. Oh the fun it is to poke fun at these strangely squeaky lads. Of course, we poke fun because they start it, really, they do. How many times have you gone online, began to play to relax after work, and then out of nowhere, you hear this tiny, comical little voice say," Yeah, eat my gun noob! You are my *female dog*!"(This content has been censored, for the safety of said twidget males.) Yeah, for some reason, they seem tot think they need to start mouthing off at the speed of light, while telling you that your are somehow related to your dog scruffy. Hmm, where did that come from? Did you do something to aggravate this little gnome? No! You did not, this little man just needs to compensate. I guess we can't really blame them, I'm sure they will become less of a little wiener snogger after there balls drop and they learn the ways of a man, which, by the way is letting your skills speak for you(Even though gaming skill has nothing to do with being a man). They need to compensate for there much less exaggerated size, so they try and make it seem like they are some sort of great digital warlord. Kids, new flash for you, being able to frag someone is not the equivalent of standing at the same height you might (Not so sure with the kids these days) stand when you are nearing your twenties. So, if you are really that desperate to come off as a tough man, please for the love of everything sacred, turn off your microphone and don't let us get ammo, because your voice sounds like a six year old girl, and we are insensitive enough to use that against you!

Alright, yet again, over compensation does not just appear in the likes of our squeaky younger lads. You may ask what in the world are you talking about Syndrom! It is true, it can occur in older males too. This is actually the more sad case of compensation, and also the more sad type of human. At least the kids have an excuse for there idiocy, these guys just honestly need to get a life. In my honest opinion these are the biggest **** on Xbox live. Not only do they constantly try to flaunt there superiority in a similar immature fashion as the younglings, but they also tend to take out there little life problems out on the girls (Who by the way are a solid valuable asset to our beloved hobby). They tend to mouth off, degrade, and just flat out insult the female gender more than anything. Why, well for the same reason they over compensate. They just can't get one. That's right, they have become this hollow, shell of a man that believes his video gaming skills will fill the void of a woman. So they end up wandering there sorry corpse over to the Xbox, sitting down and starting meaningless arguments with guys and girls who are just trying to get a little entertainment in the day. Then these little knobs decide they want to ruin it. Here's a new solution for you guys that do this, staple your balls back on, and go actually communicate with the female gender. Then once you have gotten yourself a little bit of that sweet loving (If you can mange with your sorry ass attitudes) come back and play again.

Obviously, I've come across a lot of these little punks as of recent, and I've converted my pure annoyance into this random little rant. Useless as it is, I had fun writing it. I just can't wait for some of these kids or men to read this article and start to flame me. I thrive off your **** gives me someone to yell at that actually deserves it, but, until that point, I'll catch ya'll later.(Wohoo, only tw cuss words the whole rant.)
