Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

This time we go far east…about as far east as Brooklyn. OH WELL

Castlevania Victory D-D-Dance

I beat it…whatever…

Seriously though…that was probably one of the hardest games I have ever played. Thank you Konami…I’m gonna go cut myself now…

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Little long thing one is…but informative I suppose.

Shen Mugami Tensae Persona 4 Vlog 1

Happy Holidays! Live it, love it, comment it.

Winter Wonderland Spectacular Spectacular

Hey everybody (all few of you)! You might have thought that I was dead…but nope…just busy. Far too busy than any person should be, and far busier than I wanted to be. School sucked as it drained my energy and drive to do just about anything, and on top of all of that I was unemployed. Both of these allowed me little time to play games, and no monnies to buy new ones. However, the drought is gone…and this can only mean one thing: more reviews! *hoo-raa* Seriously though, as of right now I have the New Super Mario Bros Wii, Killzone 2, and Kingdom Hearts 35…./2 days, and Persona 4. All of these will be covered in depth with full video reviews full of my dumbfoundely witty and snide remarks. To my surprise, however, all of these games have been good…and some have in fact been far better than I could have imagined. That does not mean I can’t rip it a new one though…a seemingly simple task for such am easily perturbed person like myself. Voice acting and slow (if even existent) stories have thus far been my only gripes about these games…but who knows…when I do the reviews will there be more? I think there will be…but only time will tell. So stay tuned and constantly visit my page to encourage me to write, shoot, and play faster. I thank you for your time…I guess.

Street Hoops

World’s greatest basketball game ever…

Stay tuned for a new mini-series.

Public Enemies

So, I know this isn’t a video game or anything (at least not yet (please please do not even try it video game makers, I beg of you)), I felt the need to express my feelings toward this recent film. Some people asked me practically the day of the Transformers release if I had seen that heap of flaming shit…to which I immediately responded “no,” and the main reason is because I know a bad movie even without having to go see it. I mean come on, didn’t the fact that Michael Bay had his name of the project give any sort of indication as to the quality of the product? Regardless, instead of seeing Transformers I went with my dad to go see Public Enemies, a movie which I knew was going to be great for a few reasons: the cast, and the director. When you have both Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in the same sentence, you can only assume that whatever follows must be pretty kick ass. Despite this praise, Christian Bale plays a practically non-existent role in the film which, honestly, isn’t a shame because his role is very flat and one-sided. Johnny Depp, on the other hand, is again at the top of his game in a performance which I believe most people will not understand or appreciate to its fullest.

You see, he portrays the historical depression era bank robber John Dillinger in such a convincing and powerful way that it is almost blatant the subtle nature of his character. Here is a man who, on the surface, is an extremely normal man and yet you (or at least I) can tell that there is just so much more than what is told by just the dialogue given. It is the emotion, the shifting of the eyes, the restrained nature of the delivery…in every way this man is a mystery. And who better to direct this mystery than the wonderful Michael Mann. Now although he has made a dud here and there, the man directed two of my favorite films of all times: Heat and Collateral. He has the ability and skill to tame and mold his actors into the grand scheme that he has all laid out in his head. And what does he have to show for all of his glorious efforts? Not a single oscar. Talk about a big “fuck you” to the man. And how does he respond? Well besides making Miami Vice (whoops) he releases this newest film in the middle of the summer when it is obviously a fall type movie (the time of the year when most oscar worthy films come out). So what does this all indicate to me? Mr. Mann is looking to make some serious money by banking on the large movie sales of the summer regardless of the fact that Transformers came out just a week earlier. So, for most studios, this sort of a move is used to push out some crap movies in order to make large sums of money so that they can make sequels and all of that jazz. But, even when Micahael Mann is given this task to create a movie to make money, he STILL makes a damn good movie. Should it get nominated for best picture? Meh…maybe. It is hard to say this early in the game but I can still say that it was a great movie which deserves the hard earned dollar of every honest American. Do your part; support good movies.

W00T, We Finally Did It!

I guess I sort of missed the boat on this one, but it was apparently the one year anniversary of this blog on the 8th…I just don’t know what to say. I feel as though I have put forth a fair amount of effort which really means squat in the big picture of things. Then again, the whole reasoning behind this blog was the fact that I play so many video games and have the spare time to write a blog that I figured that I would simply just ramble on and on and rant until the people shouted: “You there, sir, stop your ranting this instant. You are indecent!” However this moment has not yet happened (or at least not in person). Really the only reason I remembered the whole “starting in June of 2008″ thing is because this is the first month EVER that my blog has received viewers every day without fail(that’s 30 straight days!). So, in essence, I wanted to spend this post to thank all of the people (you) that come and visit this site every once and a while to [hopefully] find some either amusing or critical reviews on video games. I know I can and have been annoying and all with the advertising of this blog but please please please understand that this stuff takes a long time and a good amount of effort to create and it is always nice to know that someone somewhere cares about your work (whether it be big or small). So I must thank all of you out there from the bottom of my heart because even the smallest view of this blog fills me with joy; to know that at least someone took time out for me every once and a while is a wonderful feeling. So again, thank you, and may the next year be bigger, better, and full of comments (that’s where you come in…*wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge*).

Sorry for the crap video quality. Oh well. Comments make me happy. Thanks.

Ready Steady GO

Just about finished filming the next review and now I just need to edit and do audio work. In conclusion, the next video should be up before the weekend. Thanks.
