Humph. Oh, how I hate the whole hierarchy of "gamerscore" and "levels" on online gameplay. It really sucks you know? I have 2500 gamerscore... And godfraggit, IM PROUD. Im sorry that I dont spend hours in a game looking for a small shred of intel to get 10 gamerscore points. And yeah, i like the whole gamerscore idea, but its progressed too far. I have a few friends who have... Lets say, 10k gamerscore (Its around there), and im constantly being harassed because mines at around 2.5k, even though I probably play more games than they do, and am alot better at it (Believe me, games I havent even played before I go over their house and kick their asses at it). I dont understand this whole social hierarchy of "If you have high gamerscore, your automatically a good gamer". And, to add to that, I have a friend who has about 25k gamerscore, and yet he doesnt care at all. I doubt he even knows the full extent of what it is. Anyway, I saw an article not too long ago in GI, so I felt that I should add to that rant about gamerscore ^^.
Another thing that pizzles me off to no end, is online gameplay. You have 12 year old kids who have higher levels than me (especially on CoD), and who leave the game as soon as a low level newb like me gets in the match. I understand that you may have a higher level than me, but does that distill the fact that I can kick your ass with an M16? No =.=. Same as with Bioshock. I get into a match, and a few of the higher leveled players go "OH SHI ITs a level one, lets leave". Seriously.. It pizzles me off. Anyway, thats it for my rants. Ill be getting SW: KotOR soon, so look forward to it~!.

Ah, the beauty of video games

Fallout 3 final review, and celebrating my first follower.. Lulz.
Just beat Fallout 3 an hour or two ago. And my impression of it is this: Amazing. Its truthfully the first free roam game I have ever completed. Of course, the main storyline is a bit short... With my total gameplay being about 18 hours, and thats with only playing it through once, not knowing what the hell I was doing, doing the WHOLE main storyline, and a few sidequests, among some exploring. So.. Yeah, if your a fast gamer, and only do the main story, its gonna be a short ride. But, its awesome. If you have ever played a free roam before, youll know that there are TONS of cities and places to explore, lots of things to kill, many levels to reach, oodles of side quests, and just blowing up random crap. Fallout 3 is no exception. Of course, the setting is a bit creepy for me, and a lot of the gameplay is spent in dark corridors in ruined buildings fending off a pack of wild mole rats, or deep in the subterranean in tunnels and metro stations fending off feral ghouls. But that adds to the overall effect of a post-apoloptyc world. My favorite part in the game was definitely being able to scavenge. I spent probably 5 hours in total going in desolate houses and buildings and rooms in the tunnels just looking for a stimpack or some extra ammo so I could go back out and kill a few extra raiders. Another thing I liked was being able to hack computers, and also being able to lockpick doors, ammo crates, medical crates, etc etc. I loved the game so much, im going into a second playthrough as I type this, working on a more of an intellegience type build, and not bothering much with the main story.
It saddens me there is no online gameplay, I was really hoping there was. But, hey, no game can be perfect I suppose. I give Fallout 3 a 10/10, because of its pure epicness. With this, until later this week or next, I wont have any games to play. I may submit a Fable II review later on, but im buying a hard drive and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I+II soon, so look forward to two of my favorite games~! :D. Ill be adding a few manga reviews soon too. Until next time

Beat Bioshock.. And some other things
So, tonight I just finished beating Bioshock. And might I say, it was amazing. Of course... The ending kinda grinded my gears, (No spoilers ^^), but the overall gameplay was amazing. The story... Was awesome as well. Im looking forward to Bioshock: Infinite~! Now, im going to play a bit of Bioshock online, and then head onto Fallout 3. Im hoping to beat Fallout 3 in a week or two, but since its a free roam "sandbox" game, you never know... And by beat, I mean beat the main storyline ;P. Anyway, Bioshocks final review is here: In all, Bioshock is an amazing game. It dazzled me with beatiful graphics, combat that wasnt too hard and that was truly.. interesting, and a storyline that didnt bore me to tears, but actually had me straining my ears to listen to it. The combat is something ive never seen before. You get cool powers that sort of.. Accent your fight, like the electroball that can temporarily paralyze your foe and do a bit of damage, as well as winter blast, which freezes things, incinerate, which burns stuff and can set your foes on fire, and a few others ill leave as a secret. Though I will admit, out of all the powers you get Electroball was the prominent one, since I like to use guerilla tactics in any game, attacking quickly, retreating, attacking, wash, rinse, repeat. But the powers, if used correctly, will create a deadly force. Say you freeze or paralyze the Big Daddy in front of you, and then hack a couple security bots, and then use your shotgun with Heavy Shells to get in close, hes as good as dead. The weapons are awesome as well, each with usually three diverse types of ammo, like the Machine Gun has .50 mm, heavy bullets, and another one I forget. Anyway, with the diverse selection of plasmids (powers), tonics (Upgrades to you basically, like theres one that lets you run faster), and weapons and ammo, you will be a force to be reckoned with. I played on Easy (Its been a while since I played a Bioshock game, was wary of my abilities), and it took me 15 hours blazing through the game. All in all, I give it a 10/10, for... amazing everything.

Bought Fallout 3 and Bioshock 2
Well, today I stopped by the game store, and bought a new controller, Fallout 3, and Bioshock 2.. So ill give my first impressions on them, and part of the story so far.
As for Fallout 3, not having played any of the Fallout games before, but hearing about how good it was and reading a few articles in GI, I decided id take the risk and hand over $15 for it. So far, my impression is its pretty good, though its one of those overly complicated semi free roam games with a storyline. If you dont know anything about Fallout, well.. If you have ever played an Elder Scrolls game, think of that. Elder Scrolls turned shooter. You get a set amount of skill points to spend each level, certain perks enhance certain types of combat and whatnot, etc etc. The weapons arent too bad, though they dont really explain the controls much. All in all, its a pretty good game, and im looking forward to the rest of it. Currently in the very beginning of the game, but hey, thats where the most important part is.. If it doesnt strike a good impression on the gamer, then most likely the gamer wont want to play it. I do believe im halfway through level two.. Lol. I give it a nice 8/10, maybe after I understand the controls a bit better ill give it a better rating ;P. Now for the story, your basically a kid sheltered in a sort of.. "Vault" as they call it, and the start of the game is pretty much setting the foundation for the rest. Im not going to say whether id recommend it or not just yet, but it seems to be a good game for those who have lots of time to spend to pick up and play for hours on end. Though casual gamers may like it as well.
Now, onto Bioshock. I briefly played the first one over a friends house, and planning to buy the first one in a little bit. The graphics are purely amazing, and the weapons and combat is awesome. I cant really explain the story, because it heavily relates to the first installment. But what I can say is you wont be disappointed, even if you havent played the first. I would recommend this game to those who love shooters, with a twist of super powers in them. Ill go more in depth with the details later on. I give it a 9/10 so far ^^.
Seeing as im just right in the beginning of the games, I cant pinpoint exactly what score id give them or who id recommend them for. But I can say after I beat them, youll see a review for them. I am going to buy one or two games later on this week, dont know which ones yet though. Ill probably be busy playing games the next few days, so I probably wont put too many manga reviews up. Well, until next time.

Buying some new games today
Well, im buying a couple games today, ones like Red Dead Redemption, Bioshock 1+2 (Cant wait for Bioschock: Infinite), Batman: Arkham Asylum (I read a few articles in Game Informer about Arkham City, and I cant wait XD) and possibly Final Fantasy XIII, though not sure yet. Ima work on Bioshock first, then probably Batman, and then onto Red Dead. Ill try to churn out some reviews for these, though I doubt anyone cares. Anyway, I guess ill put a Halo: Reach and Call Of Duty: Black Ops review into this post, since i have nothing better to do.
For my Halo Reach review, I wont go into too much detail, because you have to expierence it for yourself. The gameplay is extraordinary, it doesnt let you down with that old fashioned blast away at those Covenant alien bastards, though you dont get to listen to Cortana (*cries*) helpful but cynical attitude, nor the Chiefs witty comments. In the Halo timeline, Reach would be placed briefly before the time of Halo: Combat Evolved. You are Noble Six, a new recruit into the Spartan team Noble. You first start off on a Pelican, heading towards a small community to check out some things.. And then guess what, it adds a twist! You get ambushed by covenant. Yippeeeee. The campaign mode is as awesome as ever, and the graphics just keep getting better and better. Of course, if you want a proper review, go read some gaming mag... But for those of you who want someone who isnt getting paid to write a review and someone who cares about the game, listen up ;P. The online play is just.. Awesome. Though of course you have the whiny 12 year old ragers (as always), its still a great experience. The Infection mode is by far my favorite. As for the Forge, it is pretty cool, though I have only dabbled into it a bit over a friends house, the concept is awesome. You basically get to design your own level, including buildings, spawn points, etc etc. All in all, I give Reach a 10/10, for its just pure awesomeness that I cant exactly put into words. I definitely recommend it for those of you both old and new to the Halo series, and for those newer players, its not a bad starting point. Though I do dislike the weapons, since a lot of the newer ones are complex, like the "Needler Sniper" as I refer to, which is basically a high powered needler with a scope on it, so basically a sniper. Its pretty good... But I feel its uneeded. And one of the brute weapons, which seems at first to be a modified Brute Shot, is really a whole new weapon. Think of a Plasma Rifle but instead with orange little beams. So basically its the Brute Plasma Rifle (The red ones from Halo 2) turned orange and given the cover of a brute shot. The human weapons stay relatively the same, and you get the SMG from the first Halo rather than the one from Halo 2, same as the pistol from Halo one. There are a couple new designs, like for the Plasma Rifle, but its just a bit more squared. All in all, I, as a hardcore and longtime fan of the Halo series, think its uneeded for all these new weapons, I rather liked the ones from Halo 2 MUCH better, but they give it a sense of more diversity than the first and second Halo, where you had barely any type of weapons to choose from. And then there are the "powerups". Now, these are actually a pretty nice addition to Reach. There are only a few of them, but they incorporate into campaign mode nicely. Theres even a level built around using the Jet pack upgrade. They are as follows: The spring upgrade, which is pretty much the default one for most of the levels, it allows you to run for a short duration of time (They finally give us a way to move quickly on our feet >_>), the armor lock, which makes you invulnarable for a short period of time, the jet pack, which allows you to fly for a slight period of time. There are also a few sparse things that help you out during the game, like a drop shield that protects you from fire for a little bit and heals your allies, a sort of sentry that flies around shooting, and a few others. Every now and then you will come across these, but you cant really rely heavily on them.
Ah, now for the CoD: Black Ops segment. Mostly anyone who goes to a public school thats in some sort of civilisation has heard of the title of one of the biggest fps (First person shooters) has heard of Call of Duty. Especially with the outcome of Modern Warfare, which had a great online feature. Now, for the campaign, its set in the Cold War era, so around the 60s-70s, or earlier. After the Vietnam War basically. You are a soldier (of course) and you start off in a interrogation room. The whole storyline revolves around you and you shooting up places, calling in bombs, blah blah. Anyway, no one really cares about the campaign am I right (well I do >_>)? Onto the online aspect. The online is virtually the same, you have the same categories like Team Deathmatch, Domination, Headquarters, Ground War, etc etc. The guns are your average ones, as are the perks, albeit with different names. Ah, but they incorporate something new! Its called "cod points" and allows you to buy the guns you actually want (Each level you gain unlocks something, but you cant use it, you have to buy it), perks you want, etc etc. Allowing you to instead of getting a shotgun you will never use, to instead save up for that nice, shiny sniped rifle that youve had your eyes on since the beginning. The perks are virtually the same, you get final stand and whatnot, though they took out the ability to have two primary weapons (sadly). Instead of shotguns being a secondary, they are primaries now, instead of like in Modern Warfare 2. You also get face paint, which is nice. But, other than that, everything is the same old same old. I personally prefer MW2, as do a lot of people it seems, but Black Ops isnt a game you should pass up no lifing and being a shut in just to reach 10th prestige. I also beleive that the final level is 52 or so, so no 70 plus levels to grind through this time. And prestige goes up to 15, in fact. I personally havent played Black Ops in awhile, since my 360 ate it up.
Thats it for my game reviews, expect some Bioshock ones and maybe Red Dead Redemption in the next week or so. Also look forward to my manga reviews ^^. Ill try to stick to obscure ones, but every now and then ill throw in some mangas that you probably heard of, but never actually wanted to read. Know this, I only have a 360 now, so all of my reviews will be handheld or 360 related. I own a Psp, and a Ds, and a gameboy advance, so ill every now and then add in game reviews for them. After I get up the resolve to beat God of War: Ghost of Sparta, ill add a review for that. Until next time guys!

Hakoiri Devil Princess; Air Gear; and Boku kara Kimi
Well, I was bored, and there is only one other review-related post... So I decided id do another three manga review while waiting to call someone. Here are two recent ones I have read, Hakoiri Devil Princess, which is one im in the middle of reading right now and its getting a bit good, and the other which I read a few days ago, Boku kara Kimi, which was pretty good for a romance/slice of life type. The final one, is Air Gear, which most casual manga readers should at least know a bit about seeing as its one of the top manga currently and has about 320 chapters out currently. Its one of my favorite mangas, so I thought id cover it as well.
Starting off, HDK (Ill be relying on.. acronyms are they? for the longer titled manga ^^ from now on) is about a boy who opens a box, and guess what pops out! If you guessed Master Chief from Halo, well.. Sadly, your wrong. Its a Devil girl, whos chararistics looks to be loosely based on the main girl from To Love Ru, with the same spaded tail and.. Busty-ness. Anyway, she basically states "ill make three of your wishes true, then ill steal your soul *evil cackle*", without the cackle. After that, you get to see the duo get in a few crazy hijinks, usually ending up in a nice touching ecchiness scene, and both of course fall in love with each other. Or so it seems the two will, from the point im at. Its currently at 24 chapters, so probably nearly done with or around half way completion at the most, so not too bad. I definitely recommend it for those To Love Ru fans out there, it has the same ditzyness of a girl as TLR, and has the same buxomness too. 7/10 so far ;D, since the overall story seems to be a bit lacking, sadly.
Now for Air Gear (Or AG for short). AG follows the path of Ikki, or Crow-kun as he is nicknamed, who is a sort of gang leader. Hes one of those "Strong right off the bat" types, who are pretty much stronger than any other character for a while at least. Well, in AG there are things called "Air trecks". You can think of them as modified trick roller blades. Well, our friend Ikki here naturally gets his grubby hands on a pair, and a action packed tricked out slightly romantic at time comedy manga ensues! I didnt write too much of a review for this one, since you can ask almost anyone for in depth detail on it, and plus gotta save some of the mystery for later eh? :P. Though in later chapters the focus seems to be a bit off what it was, its still a greatly illustrated piece of work with a relatively good storyline, and the characters are (mostly) lovable. 10/10 for its awesomeness.
And last up to the batters stage, BKK. This manga is the typical school based slice of life romance, following our female protaganist, whom I of course forget the name of. Shes in love with one of her teachers (naturally) and so of course transfers to a high school just to be in the same school as him. And, on the first day of school, she meets a fellow student who LOOKS EXACTLY like her beloved teacher, albeit with a seemingly darker hair color and a bit younger features. Ill save the surprise for when you read it, but its a very good manga, though it gets frustrating at times, its very good. I give it a 8/10 for its art, pretty good storyline, and most of the characters are lovable. I recommend it if you like school oriented romances with love triangles. Its currently at 17 chapters, in which I guess it to be around half- three quarter completion.
Thats it for now, ill probably wait over the weekend to add a few more reviews, and then wait a bit and try to get this blog out there on a few forums for people to notice it ;.;. Of course, im mainly writing this to.. Refresh myself I suppose, but I would still like to have a few readers be able to give me insight on it. See if im doing anything wrong or not. Anyway, until next time~!

Sun-ken Rock, Gekkoh, and My Balls
I thought id start off my recent change in my blog with some of my favorite mangas that I have read quite recently. The first is the.. Gang but comedic related Sun-Ken Rock, which focuses on this dude named.. What was his name again? Oh right, Ken.. Or something. Anyway, it basically starts off with him going to Korea to follow his love interest, a girl who goes from Japan to Korea (I think o.O.. Too many countries in our world to keep track off *sigh*), and then moves into a shoddy apartment. There, he gets into a fight with a gang leader, and then somehow becomes that gang leader. The summary is, so far hes taking out gangs left and right and getting turf. All in all, I give it a 9/10, for great art work, a unique twist on the Yakuza theme with a dash of comedy, and overall nice and graphic fights. It is currently clocked at around 45 chapters, and still ongoing. I see about another 30-40 chapters, though it could also head into the 100 chapter range if the mangaka so wishes to.For those who like hardcore fights to the almost death, and having a very reliable hero who seems to be stronger than anyone else.
Ah, next in line is "Gekkoh" a very good gem. It seems at first to be incestious, but later on you find out shes adopted. Now onto the story. A Yakuza heads son, forget his name.. oh well. Anyway, his "sister" suddenly pops up out of nowhere and moves in with him! And, guess what.... His father is on a trip! Oh, the old 'Move in with guy while parent(s) are away!" trick. Works every time. And so, turns out she is one deadly chick! She wields the sword "Gekkoh" like a true master, and can chop up bad guys with ease. The story is oriented around finding out what happened to her parents, finding the killer, and then blowing- No wait, I mean Slicing his brains out. All in all, its a very good story, and I give it a 8/10 for the Romance that actually doesnt suck in an action manga, the very funny scenes with a LOT of ecchi-ness, and the action isnt too bad, but more relies on drama. It is completed at 50 odd chapters, so shouldnt take too long to breeze through even if you are a casual reader~! Definitely worth your time.
Ah, a comedic gem (I sure say gem a lot eh?), with romance.. My Balls! Dont let the name fool you, it is superbly serious. In the first chapter, our dear protaganist, a lonely 20 something live alone chronic masturbator is seen heading up a shrine, when he encounters an old man who shoots a beam of light into his.. Guess what, balls! So now, the Demon Queen is stuck in his nutsack, and if he ejaculates within a month, Earth is doomeeeeed. So, the future of Earth rests in this guys balls.. Yippee us eh? To make matters worse (Or better, depending on if your a lolicon or not XD) a devil loli shows up, and says her mission is to make him ejaculate, and release the Demon Queen from her prison to destroy the world! I personally like her cynical self, and how shy she is. I give this manga a 9/10, not a 10/10 only because it wouldnt appeal to anyone without a perverted mind (Like mine ^^). For its Comedy (Which it relies heavily on), VERY graphic scenes, and the romance is a nice plus. There are around 40 chapters, 41-42, with some Omakes thrown in. Id definitely suggest this manga if you want some comedy with a dash of romance thrown in to relieve the stress of the day. Though I think it would be considered softcore or borderline hentai, its not something you want to pass up on!
Thats it for my reviews.. For now. I may add another post in an hour, or in a week, depending on how much manga I read. Ill definitely try to have reviews of at least 3-4 manga per post, to not clutter up and not allow you to read anything. Im not sure about anime just yet, since these past couple of months the only good anime ive seen is Yumekui Merry, and even that was a big letdown at the end. Oh well, until next time

Well...
Well... I kinda just let this blog thingy float around for awhile.. Then as I was reading some manga... I SUDDENLY GOT A REVELATION. Yeah, a revelation.. From the Otaku god.. Or something. Anyway, I decided id turn this random sitting-in-the-corner-blog-thingy into a full fledged manga, anime, and at some times game "reviewer" if you will... For those who have nothing better to do than just read some stupid idiots (Oo.. An oxymoron!) who is a bit good at using words to captivate audiences (Ah, a bit of naricisism, not a bad touch!), and.. Whatever, you get the idea by now. So this is a review blog, like the millions of others out there, for my main focus of entertainment: Manga, Anime, and the occasional handheld game thrown in with some nice console action. Hell, maybe ill throw in some of the more far fetched less known books as I read them. Now, I myself am not an "otaku" but rather and anime/manga enthusiast. I read quite a bit of manga, id estimate about 50-70 chapters on a good day, and when I find a real gem ill spend upwards of half to three quarters of the day reading manga. So about 120-150 on a good day. Anime is a bit different, I can usually watch about 12-15 episodes before I get bored of the cool animation and crappy plots and go back to manga.
Anywho, this will start off as me just giving reviews for recent manga or anime I have read/watched, and I read some obscure stuff, stuff you wouldnt have heard before. Anyway, look forward! Also, ill make sure to read at least the first volume or two, so I can at least get a idea of where the plot is heading. I usually read Romances, with maybe some Romance/Action or pure Action with a dice of romantic interests. Though I also like the ecchi/action/martial arts genre, just think of... Histories Strongest Disciple Kenichi, with a bit more hardcore Martial Arts and fighting. Hell, I read about anything thats not Yaoi or Shounen Ai. Ive even delved into soft core Gender Benders on a few occasions. Oh well~
