Sick... at least with a good game.

So I've been sick. I have the flu, I think, and I have huddled myself away from Wednesday to now, and been somewhat miserable from then on.



On Tuesday, mommy got me a game called Goldeneye 007 for the wii, and I basically crammed myself into it for the entire sick-spell. I have played all modes, from the campaign, split screen multiplayer, as well as the online, I have to say it is the best First Person Shooter, (FPS,) I have ever played in my entire life. It gets the Theo Award for best FPS in 2010. (Keep those awards in mind, I'm not quite done with them.)



So yeah. If you're sick with a game, it should be a good game.

Lets get this over with... THE GRAPHICS ARE STANDARD DEFINITION, DO NOT JUDGE GAMES ON GRAPHICS!!! There. Now I would like to bring you to the second griping point that many Halo Nerdz have griped on. Daniel Craig plays Bond this time around, not Peirce Brasundone. (I don't know his name, so I will make fun of him by changing his last name. Say it slowly, and out loud.) I really do not care for the change, since it does not change gameplay from the, oh-so fantastic masterpiece, Goldeneye on the N64. Also, I hear people like Danny more because he has blue eyes. Huh.

I have played the campaign throughly, and am impressed. The controls are fun, with the addition of the Classic Controller Pro, (Which replicates 360 controls,) and the optional use of the Gamecube controller. My personal favorite is the Wiimote and nunchuck. It supplies story, and an interesting gameplay element, where you sneak around with a silenced pistol and eliminate people tactically and silently, ho ho!




Unfortunately, the guards have a lick of intelligence in this game, so the stealth element is hard to maintain. It also does not help that headshots that are farther from 5 meters from the guy seem to just make him stutter back like some invisible person just shoved him.

So the stealth is kind of gimped, but in the times I don't get seen, and I manage not to get pounded in a shootout with me vs the ENTIRE POPULATION OF RUSSIANS, I do enjoy my silent takedowns, and creeping around like a real Bond! It is rewarding, as you have less guys to eliminate, and fun too! Now that I've shown that the Campaign is a blast, and totally fun, now it's time to move on to the multiplayer.

There are 2 forms of multiplayer; split screen, and online.
Split Screen is where you can, 'Frag dem noobz' within the same room as them. It is very addictive and enjoyable, with it's modifications and game modes, as well as being able to, 'Frag dem noobz,' with, 'dem noobz,' being up to, '4 noobzzzzzzzzzz'. My sister, who hates FPS's really enjoys it. It has a control style where people who haven't even heard of Fps's on the wii can play, and even eliminate those who have. It is well rounded, and fun for the whole family, as there is little learning curve, and everybody enjoy's it.



online is different. Much much different. You have an account, where you can customize, 'Loadouts,' and pwn up to 8 people across the world. You level up, and thus unlock new guns to pwn with, and new gadgets, or perks which help you in the long run.

I actually really enjoyed it, mostly playing team matches, and all that. I found it fun, and quick, with little slowdowns. I thought the connection to be good, and I really had no trouble finding a match, or maintaining one. It was purely fun. I don't care for Wiispeak, so the lack of that really did not matter to me. I did have some complaints though.

Firstly, There should be no such thing as, 'hosts,' online, because when they leave, it disconnects everybody from the game. Seriously not cool. Secondly, I found that getting leveled up was somewhat difficult with the, less then good guns they give you when you customize your loadout. Fortunately, they make pre-made loadouts with a variety of non crappy guns. I also found the AI to be a little too smart, as they could see, AND ATTACK YOU through cover. The cover is destructible, but only to the enemy bullets, which I dislike, because you are always scrambling for cover when you lose it, and sprinting is off. You can only sprint for an alloted amount of time, so when that runs out, you stop, or if you want to stop, you can't. These are minor faults, so you can adapt to them. I seriously had to look for things to complain about.

Thats really all! It's a good game, with a solid campaign and a fun multiplayer! The graphics are nothing to scream at, but they do their job in showing the good guys from the bad guys, and the controls are spot on! It is a buy, and the best FPS on the wii!

So that's how my week was. Sick, but with a good game! How was yours?

Sleeping people are to be left alone.

I love to sleep. Who doesn't? The thing is, I don't like to be woken up. Imagine this, You are sleeping peacefully, dreaming about punching people, looking sweet and innocent, When you are woken up by this.



All of a sudden, you are awoken. This is a milestone in history, it could determine whether the universe lives or dies. A BOOM Echoes out, a boom so loud, and soul piercing, a million babies across the world simultaneously begin to dirty themselves, and Scream and Cry.





A single word slithers out of their mouth, a dare to say what you want to say. Your life can lead to many different things at this point, most notably, getting off Scot free, being mauled and living, crippled for the rest of your life, or dying a slow, and painful death.

ME- Yesssss...?

Stasha- ummm...

You are left in a weird position. If you say what you want to say, he might go, "Oh, Sure!" hop up, and do whatever, or kill you on the spot. if you say nothing, he will flat out kill you on the spot. The question is, should you lie, and try to increase the chance of living, with all of your limbs, or tell the truth, and perhaps get away with living with all of your limbs.

Me- WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

Stasha- (panicking.) I- I want to know if you would like ... to... fight... a monster...?

Me- ...

RANT

My rant this time around, is going to be about LOW RIDERS! and to introduce it, let me show you something



This is how Low riders think they are. cool, with girls drooling over them, and other low riders high-fiving them. This is the sad, sad reality.



You can use your imagination for what the girl is saying, 'eww' at.
For some reason, they think this is, cool... *sigh.*
Trust me when I say that if you're a low rider, and people will see your underwear, have the decency to change it once and a while! Seriously, this is idiotic! I don't know why this is deemed, 'cool,' because all you are doing is sitting there with your butt hanging out of you pants!

It's kind of funny though, because people tell them to pull their pants up, and stuff like that, so their plan kind of backfires from being cool, to being ridiculed for forgetting what a belt is.

Thats all for today, and remember....
PANTS ON THE GROUND, PANTS ON THE GROUND, LOOKIN LIKE A FOOL WITH YOUR PANTS ON THE GROUND!

Riddles

1. A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?

2. If your sock drawer has 6 black socks, 4 brown socks, 8 white socks, and 2 tan socks, how many socks would you have to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?

3. If I say "Everything I tell you is a lie," am I telling you the truth or a lie?

4.When is it bad luck to meet a white cat?

5.How did Mark legally marry three women in Michigan, without divorcing any of them, becoming legally separated, or any of them dying?

6.What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?

7.What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?

Good luck!

House of the dead 2&3 review

Hi there. I have another review for you. This is a review for house of the dead 2 and 3. In case you do not know, house of the dead is a shooting game where you kill zombies. It is rated m for mature, and is pretty scary, so Ana and Sera, and anybody who doesn't like seeing heads lobbed off of decaying bodies, don't worry. I don't have any pics for you to scream at.

This is a direct port from the arcade version, meaning they kept everything from the graphics, to the sound in. I would try to tell you what the story is, but any attempt would be futile. It goes something like this. Inthe 2nd game, you are James and Gary, and there are zombies overriding the city... I think. You see G who gives you his files, and meet Amy and Harry who tell you to save some people... I guess. They tell you about Goldman who is a mean person and did all this, and... Oh whatever. All I want do do is pew pew so let's just skip it. In the 3rd one, Lisa is trying to find her father... The end. I honestly don't know, because I haven't beaten it yet. (I also haven't beaten the second one, but I know enough about the crap-tastic story go judge it.)


I must say, the graphics, and voice acting are about as good as my love life. (Get it? Since the second thing is obviously bad? Hehe? Ohhh...) but I have one comment for it. This was made for the fans, so of course they didn't change the graphics. As for the voice acting, nobody, I mean NOBODY can act as bad as that by accident. They had to have been good actors, pretending to be bad for the sake of comedy. Fortunately, they cut the joke at HOTD 3, which had much better voice acting. But those don't matter. What does matter is the gameplay.


HOTD is a on rails ( which means you can't move around) shooter, which means you just point at the screen and... PEW PEW PEW!!! HOTD changes it up a bit by adding fast reflexes, and pinpoint accuracy, which is what I like! The game is much more fun with a gun shell, which adds the arcade feel to it. I must say, you will need to practise hard if you want to beat these two games, as the difficulty factor is high, but for the wrong reasons. Mostly because you get too few lives and Continues, 3 and 5 to be exact. You can get upgrades to add more lifes, credits, bullets, etc. But you need to work to get hem, so there is some replay value. In the 2 nd game, there are boss modes, and training modes, which help you practise your most hated bosses, and enhance your pew pew skills. Where is game really shines is the multiplayer. With a friend, you can pew pew against the hoards of undead, so in theory, you could really make this a mild party game.

Average score 8.5/10 for the fans, since it is easier to them, and
6-8 for newer people, as you will get frustrated.

Pros
great replay value. (different paths, and endings,)
Fun with friends
Simple controls
Fan favorite
Good challenge.
Awesome voice acting!
It's really violent

Cons
Some times too challenging
Graphics haven't aged too well
Awful voice acting!
Need more credits (even if you can earn them...)
It's really violent.
Stupid story

In short, I would reccomend this to fans of the series, and to hard core people who want a challenge, but don't mind graphics.
