aaaaaaaaaargh!
Right now I am royaly pissed off, at first it didn't bug me so much but now it's annoying.
It started when I posted the Review of The Legend Of Zelda The Twilight Princess I tryed re editing it a few times but no dice, I even tryed to edit it in HTML still no dice, so I gave up with that because I was still getting recomended for it, so I thought it cant be to bad.
Then the same thing happene on my Eragon Review and now it's happened on my Avatar Blog below.
Does anyone know how to re edit it?
I'm also ranting because i wont put this on the forum because every time i post there i always get a warning so i am not bothering there no more stupid forum, i got a warning for asking a Nintendo Wii question in the Wii board and it's in the wrong place they tell me.
WHERE THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO PUT IT IF NOT IN THE WII BOARD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Digg thisAvatar: The Last Airbender
I started playing Avatar: The Last Airbender recently and as I first started playing I was hoping for
more and as I was playing I though I just might if i keep levelling
up, because as i was leveling up i was learning new moves, but I got to the top level and still nothing, I was left
disappointed as all fans of the TV series will know there is so many
different Bending moves it's unreal, there was really only 4 basic
moves for each character and the moves just got more glorified the higher level
you got.
I
was thinking maybe they would have done the game more justice if it was
either an RPG or a MMORPG (Like guild wars or World of Warcraft) so as
you go you get better and more advanced bending moves and if there’s not
enough they could make patches and keep new bending moves coming on
demand.
Overall I was really disappointed it was a good story
and the characters stayed true to the TV series it was purely the
bending that let it down and that is truly the key to the story and
they didn't do enough of it.
Splinter Cell - Double Agent
I got Splinter Cell Double Agent on the Wii for christmas and throughly enjoyed it, then a few weeks ago one of my friends come over to see me and he brings Splinter Cell Double Agent on the X-Box 360 over because he knew that I like Splinter Cell and didn't realise I already had it.
So I thought I would play it being as he went to all the trouble of getting it for me, then as I put it in I sit back and I noticed changes even in the start up, then I got to the menu which is completely different from the Wii menu.
Then I went on the first level and noticed that again a different start up cut scene different level entirely, still the same story still the same icy mountain but they look completely different and they things you do are different and you even use different gadgets.
I never realised games companies did this? i always thought that they just changed the graphics levels for example made the background less appealing with a console thats graphics is not as good as the better one.
but they change the level entirely. So i looked on gamespot and theirs a Double Agent coming out for the PS3 and theirs a new girl (The picture in the testing blog below) although she doesn't look that great i'm sure there might be even more different levels to explore so i might get Double Agent on the PS3 when I get the PS3.
I am going to be on the look out for this in future I wonder how many more games they do it to, i'v never noticed before just got the one game for that one particular console and thats it I never thought of checking out the other consoles.
i just always got the one with he better graphical power so for example if a game come out on the:
GBA
DS
or Wii
I would get it on the Wii because it has more pull power that the other two and i woudent usually bother looking at the other two.

Testing
Just testing out the images to see if i can import them, so far i have only managed to import images from this site, it won't let me do it from my document file on my PC...?
Virtual Console - Wiily dissapointing
Since I fount out about the Virtual console I have been eagerly anticipating the Arrival of all the Nintendo 64 Rare games, such as:
Perfect Dark
Banjo 1 and 2
Diddy Kong racing
Get force Gemini
Because to be honest all these games were some of the best that the Nintendo 64 had to offer, but according to this statement from N-Sider, Rare hasn't agreed to any of there games for the Virtual console, only ones like Diddy Kong racing because they are owned by Nintendo.
I feel that this shouldn't be allowed regardless of what the publisher has to say Nintendo should be allowed to release every single one, because they have already been released before, it's not a crime to re release them is it?
There is also other games such as Turok 2, Turok wars and Duke Nukem that I’m waiting desperately for, hopefully all the other games that were release are still on schedule for release and hopefully Rare will re consider and release there Nintendo 64 titles.

DOA The Movie
I watched Dead or Alive the movie this week, I saw it in HMV so I had to buy it because I enjoy playing the games and I have been waiting for this movie for a while, so I get it take it home, get a cuppa tea and sit back and relax.
The first 15 - 20 minuets is an action packed introduction to the 3 main women, in the movie, and how they get invited to fight in DOA.
Then when they get to the island where DOA takes place every thing after this seems tacked on, like the fact every one else apart from the 3 main women land exactly where their supposed to and the 3 women have to perform loads of death defying stunts just to get there.
Although when Gen fu is fighting he knocks his opponent off the edge then jumps after him just like he would have in the game, there’s also destructible environments because Tina puts Zack through a brick balcony, at forbidden square.
when they are fighting sometimes it goes to the main lobby where it shows they fighting on the screen and they have health bars at the top. So even thought it feels tacked on it does still also have it's good points.
The rest of the characters didn't get introduced properly, the film relies of your knowledge of the game, (like FF7 Advent Children) and even when they are getting body scanned and implanted, there is still a few people missing, like Gen fu for example you see him fighting for about eight seconds then never see him again.
The game has a story for each character and I can appreciate that fact that the film cant do that but.... they could at least try to include every one as much as possible, because they all have their own stories to tell not just these 3 women.
Overall I thought the movie was a 7/10 a good solid film but could have been a better story line, more characters included.
Console Wars
I have this annoying mate who every time he comes around he has to snipe to me about the Graphics of the Wii ooh there a bit pants he keeps saying, and I’m getting sick of it. I have tried explaining to him about Zelda I mean look at the graphics on that there perfect, I was trying to tell him all because the textures on there faces aren’t as up to par as the others but that’s what makes Zelda unique, and great Manga style graphics like one colour per face.
Also who needs perfect graphics anyway I mean tell that to the 2 million people who play the DS and the hundreds of people who play the GBA still. All good gamers play a game for it’s story and game play, I mean I still know a few people who would sooner sit there and play FFVII then the new FFX-2 or FFXII because it has a better story and game play.
Plus I don’t see the point in the PS3 having such big graphics power I mean X-BOX 360 is enough and the PS3 is WAAAAY to over prices because of all the junk that comes pilled in with it, I mean blue ray name anyone who has that? And I am not buying blue ray disk for it just so I can watch my films on there.
I have decided that when people start insulting the games I got they are just gelouse, stupid and immature, I mean I have another friend who does that he come around he insults the living excrement out of my games, then when he buys it two weeks later it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
I have decided the Wii is the way of the future and people who don’t have one shouldn’t call themselves gamers, the PS3 only has glorified graphics and loads of extra add-ons that aren’t completely relevant to games. I mean why does a console need to play DVD’s anyway? Isn’t that what DVD players were invented for or is it just me? And I trying to use to many brain cells at once.
Also with Nintendo what you see is what you get they don’t have any problems and if they do they sort them out, Sony has loads of problems in all of it’s electrical equipment, (battery recalls ringing any bells) I’ll be so glade to see the back of Sony, because that all people go on about like Sony are the only games company around plus 90% of there games are plop.
I got a Sony play station, I cant wait till the PS3 comes out…… WHAT ABOUT NINTNEDO WII AND THE X-BOX 360. Come on people use some brains cells go with X-Box 360 and Wii if you want good games. I mean honestly what does PS have to offer GTA… Ha please.

Wiivelutionary Controller
I believe that the new Nintendo Wii controller is absolutely amassing. When I first got hold of it I was in shock I actually got to touch one, then shortly after I finished dribbling I started playing my games.
At first the controls are hard to get used to, because… for example you have to swing the bat at the right time, aim the bow at the right spot etc... and the Wii mote sensitivity takes a while to get used to, so it order to apreashiate the true quality of each game you must give them at least 2 hours game play for the controls to start felling right then you will be totally immersed because once you get past the controllers you start to feel like this is actually right.
Like cars shaking the Wii mote to jump moving it at an angle to play the minigames, so many little things make it the perfect experience.
The sounds that come out of the controller they get me every time, when swinging a sword or fishing, or reloading your gun they are absolutely amazing, it brings so much more realism to the game it's unreal.
Although sometimes it goes come out a bit distorted but… if you press the home menu button while playing a game then press on the Wii-mote settings at the bottom and turn the volume down two places, sounds still come out loud enough and there’s no distortion.
Also I started playing Eragon with my younger brother on the X Box 360 and I run to the enemies and started shaking the controller, and I was sitting there shouting at the screen why aren’t you swinging, then I remembered for the X-box 360 you still have to just press buttons to do that stuff.
Wiiiiting
I was one of the first few in line for the Nintendo Wii on the 7th, at ASDA in Dagenham, I got there at 2pm and waited until 12:15pm.
The wait wasn’t as bad and I thought it was going to be because the shop owners let us line up inside the shop, so we were all in the warm rather than in the freezing cold.
By about 10:30pm the shop owner said there is no more Wii's left so after that we all had to tell the other people coming to wait in the queue that there wasn’t anymore left, and some of them were very annoyed.
Then it kind of turned into a fight for your Wii because we wanted to keep our position and there was some people standing by waiting to jump in the queue for when we got out, so none of us dared move.
By 11pm I was busting for a toilet and I wanted to go but I had no one I knew to take my place and another queue of people waiting to take my place, so I sucked it all in and took the pain like a man.
“Strong like Lion!
Eventually at 12:01 they started serving the customers. I was 8th in the queue and got a Wii and The Legend of Zelda the Twilight Princess.
Under appreciation
I fell that this new X-Box 360 point system is not being taken seriously, people only want to get a game where they get loads of points fast, in my opinion those sorts of games are rip offs. Personally I want games that last ages, and take a while to master, so you have to keep playing them, get practise etc… so you get your moneys worth. Because sometimes I find I get a game like quake 4 and 4 or 5 hours later I have completely finished it, and other like perfect Dark and Project Gotham racing 1 week later I am just finishing the final levels and multiplayer games, and the points or these games are hard to get and at the end of it once you have got those points, you fell that you have really earned them rather than getting them for silly little things like score the first goal etc…
I feel that all games point should be hard to get well not hard but at least a challenge so people will appreciate their newly acquired points.
Extortion
Personaly i think these new concole's are way way too over priced for their own good, i mean most of my mates never got X-box's until they went down to just under £200 when they first come out they were £400 pounds and thats a lot of money. they saved £200 pounds by waiting 9 months and in the grang scale of things thats not really a long time to wait.
So i decided i am going to wait until the price of games and the concoles goes down, im not being stingy because im still going to spend the same amount but i will be getting more for my money.
Bill Gates wants as many people as possible to buy his new console befoure the competition gets here:
Revolution
PS3
But there console are supposedly going to be cheaper and if they are Way goodbye to X-Box people.
In my personal opinion Bill Gates has got more money than sence.
