My list of games

So Ive been thinking to myself lately, I have a stack of games that I really should beat.. Which is most of the games I own XD. Due to me having to delete my save data, nearly every game I own currently has NO file on my hard drive. So.. This is what im going to do: Over the next few weeks, Im going to conquer my stack of games. And, after every single game is done.. Ill write a review after I beat each one. Sounds pretty nifty eh?Heres my list of games (Regular Xbox games included).. I know its kinda small, but ive lost quite a bit of games recently..

Fallout: New Vegas (Incomplete).

Far Cry 2 (incomplete)

Ninja Gaiden II (incomplete)

Mercernaries (incomplete)

Halo 2 (incomplete)

Halo: Reach (completed)

Fable II (incomplete)

Halo Wars (incomplete)

Metal Arms: Glitch in the system (incomplete)

Bioshock 2 (complete)

Call Of Duty 2: Big Red One (incomplete)

Call of Duty 3 (incomplete)

Dark Sector (incomplete)

The Club (incomplete)

Fable II (incomplete)

Annnddd that is my current game library. As you can see, only two of my... Uh however many games are finished. Though I HAVE beat every single one of these games besides Fallout: New Vegas, Far Cry 2, and Ninja Gaiden II. So.. I shall be rebeating each and every one of these in the weeks to come XD.

A few more changes

Well, before, this blog used to be manga, movie, game, anything reviews. But I guess ill officially make it a Video Game review thread, for those old (And sometimes new) games. *shrugs* so ill edit the blog a tiny bit ^^

Some review changes.. And other stuff

Well, I thought id create a new way of reviewing. For starters, my reviews will look much cleaner, and not hashed up. Second, I will be reviewing ONE GAME per post, to make it easier. Another addition, ill be using a Pro-Con system at the end of the review, to show what I liked, and disliked. Another installment: Pictures. This will make it easier to actually see what the gameplay looks like. Among a few other things ^^.

Now, for an update. Today, me and a friend went and bought Fallout: New Vegas. Its a game ive played a bit of before, and loving Fallout  3, ive long since wanted it. Ill be getting the DLC soon, so dont worry :). Another thing, ive been borrowing games from my friend now.. So ill be having more reviews once I beat them. Dont worry, he hsa a bunch of games, and gets new ones frequently, so it wont be like 5 games or anything :P. Ive borrowed Far Cry 2 and Ninja Gaiden II this time, so my hands will be full with those and Fallout for at least a week or two.

My thoughts on the games so far:

Far Cry 2:

So far, its a decent game. The graphics are amazing, and I like the way the story is going. Merc in Africa with guns and its free roam sandbox: Just my style. Nothing suits me better than free roam and guns. But im largely also dissastified, because the game has a lot of room for improvement. Firstly, the map. You have to press a button, and then for local you have to press another button, and it doesnt pop up, you see this tiny square. And your position, with no markers except your objective.. *RAGE*. Another thing, its dark. And you cant see enemies very easily, especially in places like houses. AND THEY HIT HARD. *rant*. Well, thats just an introduction, once i beat it ill add more ^^

Ninja Gaiden II:

Well.. If you have played Dantes Inferno, Devil May cry I, II, III, or IV, or any other simple Hack N Slash-upgrade your multitude of weapons as you go along- linear-mass of enemies at one time games, and liked them, NG II is for you. The story is kinda odd, but the weapons are cool, the graphics are amazing, and there is just something sexy about watching your foes head fly through the air and his blood and guts splatter onto the opposite wall. And that girl is just plain cute XD. But its basically hack and slash your way through the levels and then the bosses with weapons. So far my favorite weapon is the bow and the Lunar Staff. More on this game later.

Fallout: New Vegas-

A simple preview wont do this game justice. Ill add a full blown out of your mind review for it, might even break it up into two posts with lots of pictures :D.

Ill add a review for whatever game I finish first, though F: NV will probably be last ^^. Well, until next time :D.

Better RED than DEAD

Well, if you have read most of my posts on here, you know I just love free roam, sandbox type games by now. Just so many choices, an endless amount of possibilites. Well.. Kinda XD. And I especially love where you can mold your character to your liking, like choosing his traits and whatnot. Well, it seems I am now officially going to start borrowing games from one of my close friends, since hey.. He has them, and willing to lend me them for as long as I need.. So why not? XD. Anyway, I borrowed Red Faction: Guerilla from him a few days ago, and beat it in a day. So heres the review for it :D.

Red Faction: Guerilla takes place.. Erm I forget the year XD. On Mars. You are a "nomad", named Alec Mason.Your brother, the ever so helpful Dan Mason (I believe thats his name..) dies within the first fifteen minutes of the game. Good fight you. Anyway, so you join a rebel group, called "Red Faction". They basically go around blowing crap up, and killing the EDF (Earth Defense Force). The whole game is centered around you helping out, by doing missions, and also doing what ill call the "Mini-missions" to gain morale. Another nifty thing. The game is also centered around you liberating.. Colonies, or sectors. You do so by completing all but the last mission in the sector, then you need to bring the Control over the sector (Of the EDF) to 0. Then you do the last mission, and BAM. The sector is yours. This means no pesky EDF to attack you.

Quick note: Starting from now, ill be using a Pro/Con way at the end. To make a simple, easy to read list of good and bad things.. ^^

Anyway, all in all its a good game. One thing I disliked though was how if you even drive past the EDF, its an all out attack unless you can get away. And the only real way to get out of the red is to visit a safehouse. Among a few other things. A few things I would have added is once you take out a EDF base, you can make a safehouse, or armory. And another thing is the ability to upgrade and/or customize your vehicles.

The vehicles were.. Alright. Not amazing, and not too bad. They provide some nice protection.. But other than that *shrugs*. Going on about something, this game isnt a sneaky game. You dont sneak, you just have an all out war open style. Sure you can take refuge in buildings or behind cover, but theres like a tracker on you, and the enemies find you D:.

Other than those few things, this game was very satisfactory. The endgame is alright, you basically can do some more mini missions, and raid some of their hideouts or w/e.. But thats about it. But I give this game a 9/10. It was awesome.



Mmkay, onto other things. I am buying Fallout: New Vegas soon. In a week or two. After I collect some money from some friends. I bought a hard drive.. AND I CAN FINALLY PLAY MY OLD XBOX GAMES. Lol. So, once I beat Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Even though no one cares about Xbox games anymore XD) ill have a review up. Until later ^^
