Hey guys I'm back from suspension!

Ya I know. I was suspended. It surprised me too. I got suspended for posting a topic called Rate My Site a few weeks ago. I was bored so I made a site and didn't know TOS forbids asking people to look at that stuff. Oh well I'm back and I just thought I would let you all know. Also I want to make a reviewing union but I need charters and members so contact em if you will be interested. I will be gone this Saturday to the next Saturday for training camp so I won't be able to be contacted.

Kingdom Hearts Sigs made for me

So here are some Kingdom Hearts sigs made for me by Luccaface at OT. If you guys can make me some more or can do a better job then this then submit them to me. I love collecting different sigs. These are pretty nice though! Maybe I would like the Heartless Riku in a sig though. The Riku from the first one that you have to fight in the end.

TOP TEN GAMES OF ALL-TIME(caps)

So its time for my first ever TOP TEN GAMES OF ALL-TIME Blog. Lately I have played several old school games and some newer ones that I have wanted to play and feel I have played a large enough and varied enough game selection to make this blog. And now my TOP TEN GAMES OF ALL-TIME!

10. God of War

There are many things I can say about this game. It is one of my favorite hack and slash games of all-time. The combos are great and aren't to hard to memorize in some games. The graphics are very good for a NES game in the time it came out. I love the variety of power-ups you can use and how you can upgrade your blades. The difficulty is just how I like it. Not too difficult, but challenging enough to keep me entertained.

9. Dead Rising

This game was a rough ride. I was so nervous that this game looked awesome and when it finally released it would be a flop. I am happy to say it wasn't. The action and violence come together with a wonderful story to make a great game. With a huge enviroment and every place being accesible in the mall, there are endless possibilites of what can happen.

8. Oblivion

This was the first Elder Scroll game I ever played and I can say that it was one of the best RPG's I have ever played. The area in Oblivion is huge, and this time around you don't have to walk everywhere because they incorporated fast travel. There is a huge variety of weapons and armor to choose from, and there are so many different sets of abilities to choose from. You can make blade and heavy armor a main ability if you want to be a warrior or add a bunch of desctruction and illusion attributes if you want to be a mage.

7. Kingdom Hearts 2

Kingdom Hearts....one of the greatest series of all-time. Combine Final Fantasy with Disney(which we grew up with) and add in an evil darkness that resides in the world and you have one of the greatest series of all-time. There are so many comical moments and it has one of the greatest battle systems I have ever played hack n' slash meets Final Fantasy. The story is probably the best I have ever experienced.

6. Super Smash Brothers Brawl

A sequel to one of the most fun fighters ever this game just improves on a few things but keeps the same, good old premise. All of the favorite characters are back with the addition of a few new ones, and even Solid Snake who is a Sony character. And now there is online play. So if you don't have 3 other budies around then just get online and play with people all over the world.

5. Gears of War

The best shooter ever, and its third-person. You don't see a huge variety of third-person shooters and this one is the best. The story isn't very long and I can't say its the best, but its just descent. It could be better, but the gameplay is where its at. The weapons are great and the enemies are unique. The online also adds on to the fun. It quickly became the most played online shooter and its addiction level is amazing.

4. Paper Mario

I have just now began to start my ****c gaming and it has been great. I never realized they were so amazing. This game is a great RPG. There are comical moments, good custumization, and a lengthy story. That is one thing that makes this game great. A lovable story with lovable characters. You have to love Parakarry and Kooper and even Bowser is a big, old loveable turtle.

3. Grand Theft Auto IV

A great sandbox game with endless replay value. The story is good and it has a lengthy single player campaign. After your done you can run around and enjoy the sites or shoot up cops. And this time around you have online multiplayer. Sometimes I have trouble finding a game but the matches are great, and when you just want to play free roam you can play with 15 other people.

2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Wow is all I can say! This game combines all elements I love in a game and does them well. Sword fighting, puzzle solving, lengthy game, replay value, and much more. The only thing I have a complaint about that you guys might disagree on is the lack of originality in the story. Its the same thing as the other games and future games. Ganandorf has new evil plan and Link has to crawl through dungeons to stop him. Not a huge complaint and it doesn't take away from the game at all.

1. Kingdom Hearts

What a game. We all grew up watching Disney movies and went to Disney World at least once. An RPG with a great story, my most favorite story of all-time. It has a great battle system and keeps to the heartless storyline unlike the second game. The customization is great and it has many puzzles and items to find that this game will keep you busy for a long time. I hardly ever regret trading in games and I can say I truly miss this and my PS2 which is why I plan to get a new one very very soon. If you have a PS2 and never have touched this game, then do yourself a favor and buy this game now. Only $12.99 used at Gamestop.

Start of My Classic Gaming, please read if possible

So my two friends from church who are huge old school gamers have challenged me to play some games from the old generations such as the N64, NES, and SNES. They told me I have to beat them on their original consoles. I have played classic games before and I liked a few but I never realized they were so fun. So far I beat Paper Mario, and I can honestly say that that game is amazing. It will easily be going in my TOP 10 FAVORITE GAMES OF ALL-TIME Blog soon. So with all the games I want to play i have made a list of old-school and other games I want to beat this summer.

LIST:

-Beat Paper Mario

-Beat Paper Mario Thousand Year Door

-Beat Ocarina of Time with all-most all things done

-Beat Star Fox 64

-Get Ninja Gaiden Black and beat it on Master Ninja

-Beat Ogre Battle 64

-Beat a few NES games

-Get all 1000 achievement points in GTA IV

-Beat a few other N64 games I can find

So as you can see I have a sort of lengthy list. Most likely I will add a few things to that later so I better get cracking. With the camps I have this summer I have only about 4-5 more weeks to play these games. I will make another blog about the things I accomplished at the end of the summer. Look for my Paper Mario review soon and please recommend it. Also one of my next blogs will be MY TOP TEN GAMES OF ALL-TIME so please look for that. Until next time! Goodbye!

So lately on Gamespot whenever I create a topic and some posts a message the message won't appear until I post a message. Does anyone know why this is happening? It has been frustrating and annoying! Also I have been wanting to make a Union either about people posting the stories they make(like a create your own novel union/short stories) or a The Chronicles of Narnia Union. If anyone will please want to be a active member of one of those unions or has a preference on which one they want to do... please contact me here or by a PM. Thank You for reading!

So I just got Fable....

....and so far it is REALLY fun. I am on my Evil Path so far and it is pretty cool. It is hard to get money for weapons because they are so expensive but the variety of quests and weapons and magic makes me feel like I am playing an offline World of Warcraft. The weapons are very useful when you augment them with different magic augmentations. And seeing your character evolve over time by doing good and bad deeds is pretty cool. Expect a review soon.

#8 Resident Evil 5

#8 Reisident Evil 5

Resident Evil 4 for the Wii is now one of my most favorite games of all-time. If RE:5 can do everything RE:4 did and better than we have a great game coming. The enemies and AI were great. The levels were well designed and if they can incorporate the humor in this game like the last...than this will be a must buy.

#9 Lego Batman

#9 Lego Batman

Its a guilty pleasure. I have grown up wearing Batman clothes(when I was young) and watching Batman movies. The new movie will be AMAZING this summer. Everyone should see it for 2 reasons....

1. To remember a great actor...Heath Ledger...who's life tragically came to an end so young in his life. This role he played will be a heck of a way to go out.

2. IT'S GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!

Now about the game. Lego Star Wars was really fun and I grew up with Batman. The co-op and thought of being able to play as some of my favorite villains of all-time is going to be awesome.

Spring Profile Cleaning/ Top 10 Most Wanted Games

So lately I haven't posted blogs but I have been on the OT-forums. I cleaned my profile. Totally deleted my collection and I'm re-adding what I actually own. I really sort of want to make a union. Just a union about everything. If anyone is interested just tell me. Any ways I'm going to count down my TOP 10 MOST WANTED GAMES OF THE YEAR. There are so many games coming out this year that its hard to pick ten games I want most starting now. From today on the games start rolling.

#10-Tom Clancy's Endwar

I have always been a big fan of RTS's. So how can an RTS meets Voice-Action not be cool? You get to build your own army and then control it with your voice. Then playing online will be epic. But if its voice commanding won't it get a little annoying hearing everyone saying something like..."Squad 1 go to point 5.." or some command like that every 5 seconds.

Finished RE4 for the WII

Expect a review soon. All I can say is wow this game is amazing. It is now my all-time favorite game. Leon is now my favorite fictional character. He is just a badass. I can't wait for RE4 but I just don't think it will be anywhere near as good. I wish it had Leon in it instead of Chris Redfield.Now to try and beat Seperate Ways.

New Computer

So me and my parents went to the Apple store last night and finally bought  new computer. A 24 inch I-Mac. The cool thing is that the is Macs have a built-in thing that eliminates viruses. NO virus updates anymore. We also got cool new bose speakers to listen to music with. We also got a 110 dollar computer/scannner for $10.And since my mom works at a school we got a free I-Pod nano. That was an amazing night. It has I-Photo wich is lke a tad more advanced Photoshop.I can make my own banners now.It also came with moviemaking programs that the people used to make Spiderman-3. On top of that today I might be renting the movie 300!!!!

I am too excited about Bioshock.....this game looks simply amazing it just won't come any quicker!!! The only problem about it coming sooner is it means the rest of summer will have to go back to school for a few days before I can get it!!!! I also can't wait to get Halo 3 and SHafowrun soon!!!

Harry Potter Finished

In a total of about 16 hours of reading I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It is not as sad as I thought but it stinks that the series is over.I would read it over again but I have five shorter books for school I have to read first.
