Anyone interested in doing a Basketball Fantasy League with me???
Well the past few years ive done fantasy football every year and loved it and before i started it was still a big football fan but fantasy made me more of a bigger fan cause now i pay attention to all the teams around the NFL not just the Philadelphia Eagles anymore
Well i like Basketball too and i was thinking about making a Fantasy Basketball League and i was wondering if anyone on gamespot would like to try it out with(you can join if u have played Fantasy Basketball too) Its gonna be a head-to-head scoring league cause that sounds more like Fantasy Football and i like it that way and well hey if we get a full league this could be very fun for all of us.

Top Ten Awesome Video Game Box Arts
Well a return to my top ten lists. After seeing the fugly Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time Boxart i just knew i had to show you all what real box arts are supposed to look like. The rules for my list is only one game of a series can be featured for example the list cannot be dominated with MGS Box Arts, secondly these box arts only include the front not the back, thirdly the games don't even have to be good it could be the worst game of all time and still make it on the list if it has a great box art, and lastly they have to be awesome
. Also hope you like the new trivia i added to the games, they will be in italics. So without futher interuptions lets begin.
Boxarts can define a game, boxarts can also destroy a game. Many gamers go to stores without researching what they are going to buy and just buy a game that looks cool to them while they are there. The box art helps them make the decision greatly a good boxart can help sales tremendously so in this list i will go through some of my favorite boxarts.
10. Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction

Let me start off the list with a bang!!! The original Mercenaries was a very fun game that didn't take itself too serious(the sequel also does the same thing but in the sequel its just ridiculous) The boxart defined the game for what it was a very fun destruction filled mayhem game lol.
The game was originally banned in South Korea after government officials feared the game, which depicts a war with North Korea with South Korea as a participant, would further strain an already delicate situation between the two countries. However, the Korean Game Board announced that the ban would be lifted by the year 2007.
9. Bloody Roar II

Bloody Roar II is another great boxart. The whole boxart defined the game. The lettering of the title showed it was bloody and the character on the cover showed it was gonna be cool and if you were smart you would figure out you could transform into a freaking animal. This is a great example of a great boxart cause I myself got this game based off the boxart and i have never regretted it
Jenny the sexed up character of the series is completely naked when she is in her beast form.
8. X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse

X-Men Legends II is a awesome boxart. The eyes of Apocalypse really drew you in and showing the brotherhood and the x-men together showed you could play both. Not to mention the characters on the cover look freaking awesome especially for Toad and Storm.
All versions of X-Men Legends II share the same basic cast of 20 mutants; however certain versions have exclusive playability for a few characters that the others don't have. The PSP release let's the player control Cable, Cannonball, Dark Phoenix and X-Man. the PC version allows play with Pyro and Sabretooth. The N-Gage version lets players play as Beast.
7. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Star Wars TFU is one great boxart. I really think this drew many kids too it. The whole entire boxart smells of epic. Even through the game itself was not that good and very glitchy. The Force Unleashed sold well thanks to the name and i truly believe the boxart.
James Earl Jones does not provide his voice talents for Darth Vader in the game. Instead the voice is provided by Matt Sloan (also known as Chad Vader) who depicts Vader's unknown brother that runs a supermarket called the Empire Market. His episodes run on YouTube.
6. Wrath Unleashed

Wrath Unleashed is by far the worst game on my list but hey you gotta admit it has one awesome boxart. This game was a mix of a fighter and a RTS but it was horrible but thanks too a great box art it really drew my attention so i bought it one of the few purchases i regret lol.
The four elements of fire, wind, water, and darkness are the four factions in Wrath Unleashed
5. Motorstorm

This is the best racer boxart thats for sure. It really showed the choas filled racing that was Motorstorm. The cars flipping the dirt all over the vehicles and the guy in the backround flipping off his motorcycle was defiantly the best racer boxart.
Motorstorm was the first PS3 game to sell over two million copies
4. Jak 3

The duo returns in Jak 3 with the best boxart in the series yet. Showed all the new gameplay mechanics like the wasteland also the horizon of Haven City looks great. The title looks amazing in that lettering especially with the star right next too it. Also did i mention Jak and Daxter look awesome and epic especially with Jak's Gun
This is the last game that Naughty Dog founders Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin worked on with the company they started.
3. Resident Evil 4(Gamecube Version)

The rebirth of the Resident Evil series came first on the gamecube and let me say the boxart was amazing. The return of Leon just looks awesome and the chainsaw guy really made the game look scary. Also the 4 just looks epic.
Krauser and HUNK's music that plays in The Mercenaries game mode is actually from the fellow capcom game P.N.03 the music from the 4th and 8th music, respectively
2. God of War

God of War is a great boxart and really showed the brutalness of the game. The bloody chains of the olyumpus and bloody kratos really made Kratos look like the badass hero he was. I really believe the boxart made the game sell loads for all those gamers out there.
Kratos, the name of the game's main character, is Greek for strength or power.
Before i show you #1 here are the Honorable Mentions
Honorable Mentions




Now onto #1
1. Kingdom Hearts

Kingdom Hearts is the greatest example of a great boxarts that draws adults and kids alike to the game. For the adult part the artwork although very cartonny has a mature sense to it also Riku and Sora also give the mature sense too. For the Kids freaking Goofy and Donald were on the front of the box and they had weapons. I can bet many moms and grandmas bought this game for their children or grandchildren and the kids were most likely happy.
The secret boss Kurt Zisa in the US version is named after the winner of a contest held by Squaresoft to promote the game.
Well there you have it my list of greatest boxarts what do you think about it and what do u think should have been added?
Well thats my blog for today
Up Your Arsenal!!
If you guys havent guessed it by now i have beaten not only one Ratchet & Clank game but TWO!!! So here i go with my impressions.
First off with the smaller one

This game was awesome for a PSP game it looked like just like the PS2 R&C games which was just awesome but i guess thats why the game was so SHORT. This game was actually quite hard compared to the others in the series(it wasnt hard just above average) But other then the short length this game was pretty good. Even without the second analog the camera was never a problem and the controls were great. The story was also pretty good probably could have been better if the game was a little longer but still had that Ratchet charm too it. Overall this was a great and was well worth the $10 price i paid for it but if i bought it as a full game waste of money.

First off let me say the guy who reviewed this game WAS dumb sorry gamespot i had to say it but this doesnt derserve the score it got at all. Sure it wasnt the best in the series(Going Commando still holds my favorite spot) but it sure didnt deserve a 7.5. First off let me tell you one thing that reviewer mentioned which was dead wrong he must have never played a Ratchet game before. He said the story was uninteresting. The story in the ratchet games was never supposed to be taken so serious but this game had the best story out of all the games very interesting even thru i didnt like the cliffhanger ending(i need to get quest for booty now lol). The shooting and weapons were amazing and i dont know what once again the reviewer was talking about Ratchet games are not supposed to be hard but this Ratchet and Clank i think was the hardest in the ratchet series so hey gamespot next time you review a Ratchet game make sure u got someone who played the series before review it. The clank missions are FINALLY fun to play(i have always hated them but in this one they were actually fun. The grind missions were finally given a revamp they were starting to get dull but this game added some much needed new things and added some cinematic flare to them too. Overall R&C is a great game and a must-buy if u have a PS3 i think
Well what do u think of my impressions now its on to daxter i guess
Thats my blog for today.
Welcome to the Asylum!!!
Well if you havent figured out what this blog is about well its about Batman:AA and my impressions of it after beating it early this week

First off this game is the best superhero game EVER!!!! Usually Batman doesnt have a good reputation with video games(even movies before the dark knight all the batman movies sucked and you know it too) but Rocksteady Studios has ushered in a new age of batman.
When you were a kid(or in my case early teens) you probably watched Batman: The Animated Series on Cartoon Network and if you were like me you loved that show and watched almost every episode. Well let me tell you Batman:AA is just like the show but more dark. Every voiceover from the show first off is in Batman AA which includes the Dark Knight himself and brilliant Joker voice(voiced by Luke Skywalker i believe?) Trust me im not gonna lie some of the stuff in this game could belong in a M rated game. In the game you can collect audio logs of all the characters in this game and trust me all the villians have some VERY twisted tapes. The one that struck me the most was Zszash(i know spelled his name wrong) dude there are five audio logs and you can collect and each one of Zszash's got more and more dark and twisted. And the last audio log is a type of thing that belongs in a horror movie trust me if i was playing this game when i was younger i would have gotten a nightmare i know it lol
Thats the charm of Batman they didnt pull any strings they put the real feell of the Dark Knight and is a true and perfect representation of the Bat. Okay now what you all have been waiting for what i think about the game itself.
First off the combat is just plain awesome but a bit too easy. I played the game on Normal difficulty and once i got used to the combat it was pretty darn easy. But even thru it was easy it was so fun cause the combat flowed perfectly it really looked like something you would see in the movies or something just plain awesome. And also another part of the gameplay was the stealth parts. Batman isnt a stealth game like MGS its in a whole nother catagory. Becuase unlike MGS ur enemies know you there but dont know where so you are picking them off one by one and they are really getting scared like it would be if this was real. It really gives you the feeling that you really are Batman. Also the dectectie aspects i loved and Batman throws the riddlers riddles at you as basically a side quest. I got 85% of the riddles correct and i wasnt even meaning too go after them i just would spend awhile in one room till i actually found the riddle and it was fun and very awesome. But one complaint i have about the dectective mode is the detective vision. Dude detective vision is awesome im not saying its not but because of the riddles it makes you wanna play the whole game in the mode which really tones down the graphics a bit(dont get me wrong it still looks awesome but not as awesome as it is normally)
But overall Batman Arkham Asylum is simply awesome dont get me wrong im not a huge Batman fan i was only a small one before this but now it just made me a fan this game is a must-buy for anyone even if u dont like batman its simply awesome
So go out in buy the game(and if u have a PS3 i suggest buying it on that because of the exclusive DLC)
Well thats my blog for today!! ![]()
Birthday Blog
Okay yea Wedesday was my birthday but due to football practice didnt really celebrate it on that day but yesterday i did. The day started off with me and my parents going to denny was pretty dang good then they gave me money for gamestop and i took out my own money and then i left for gamestop and here were my purchases
You remember when i said i would only get one or two games well i got wayy more then that and dont expect me too get Uncharted at launch lol so heres what i got

Havent started it yet was going to start it yesterday but it didnt work had to go back to gamestop to trade it out for another one

Played alot of it today it really is pretty awesome dont use the wrench as much as i used to in the console versions(since the wrench throw is annoying to do) but other then that it really is the same as the console version which is awesome and come on it has PS2 graphics thats just awesome why doesnt the PSP sell well!!!!

Havent started it yet due to the last game i got hopefully ill get QfB after i beat this game

This game is simply AWESOME!!! Really to be honest i was always gonna get this game but thanks to the awesome demo(which every company should take notes off of that demo was so awesome) it made me buy the game. and i wasnt disappointed this game really makes you feel like you are Batman and Joker is just so awesome and glad they got all the voice actors from the cartoon. This game is definatly a contender for GOTY
Well what do u think about my purchases
