Hold on to your butts-Because Dark Souls will make you kiss yours.

Back in my day, beating a difficult game was like having a badge of honor, this mind you was back in the day of PRINTED magazines(yes those were very common) and basically depending on word of mouth from billy in the lunchroom cafeteria the landscape of gaming has changed into a world of in-game tutorials,online faqs and of course easy mode.

This day and age can be very disparaging to the gamers of yesteryear, so when DemonSouls was released for owners of Playstation 3's the hardcore crowd rejoiced,This was a game where there was no hand holding, A game that would not only whoop your ass time and time again but also get even more difficult every-time you DIED. Instead of the random mindless shooting and run-gunning of most titles.

Demon Souls forced the player to have to slow down and think about his/her next move and if they didn't? humph much gnashing of teeth would commence. Needless to say Demon Souls was a sleeper hit and became much loved within the hardcore of the gamer community.That image of the forlorn looking fellow? yea that is the face of an uninitiated gamer who thought they could tackle Demon Souls har har.

Then,in 2011, Dark Souls happened, See that link to wikipedia? yea that article doesn't do the game any justice, This game,THIS GAME-Will make you want to kick over your home console,rip out the disk and snap the evil sucker in half. Usually when a sequel is released for a game the developers usually take into account that there may be some new players who have never played the original title and in the case of the Original Demon Souls being a Playstation 3 exclusive and the new Dark Souls being available for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

You would think that there would be some option for the game difficulty to be adjusted for the newer players...NOPE NOT AT ALL, in fact the difficult of Dark Souls Exceeds that of it's predecessor. Now I've rambled on about how hard this game is-I can't stress it enough, in fact the following video will give you just a TASTE of the ridiculousness that is Dark Souls




Please PLEASE tell me you didn't think any of that was ridiculous?Yes you did, now imagine being that player? yea, feel the anger flow through you. But let me remind you, this game is loved by many, the joy of Dark Souls is that,despite it's difficulty it CAN be beaten, you just have to know the rules and avoid being over zealous. In fact several Japanese players have sped right through Dark Souls In Under An Hour-Like the last video this one will have your Jaw Dropping to the floor.



That's right a speed run..on this goddamn game...Dark Souls is formulaic,but it can be beaten at it's own game (So to speak) It's not by any means impossible but it will test the limits of your patience as a gamer..and if you're not one for head scratching,be warned this make will make you tear your hair our by the roots!

Star Fox-A review

"When you have Animals Staring you down on the box cover you know it's time to get down"



Star Fox-
I remember being a kid back in the early 90's MTV still played music,Clinton was in office and all was right with the world. I also remember the release of everyone's favorite space shooter, Star Fox.

Now the original Star Fox was a technical achievement of epic proportions- I mean geez it fielded one of the first 3D graphics accelerator available to consumers at the time. That Story of Star Fox is of the typical space action shooter fare-Evil genius wants to take over the lylat syste, Team of Anthropomorphic animals who are part of an elite star fighter squadron known as Star Fox . Now Don't let the part about animals flying Spaceships throw you off-They game, at the time was an excellent example of a challenging 3D shoot em up that worked well.

-------You're our Only HOPE for our WORLD--------

Being a kid and playing Star Fox for the first time..was basically going to see Avatar at Imax(Ok maybe I'm exaggerating) but boy before the advent of the graphical quality of today's current games Star Fox was where it's at. The game literally had you zooming through cities, Barreling through asteroids and hurtling over deserts. Not only were the graphics top notch but the soundtrack helped to get my childhood blood pumping.



However, This game hasn't aged too well, but for it's time it was a joyride for any kid who wanted to fly through space blasting starfighters and giant robots...

Top 5 revolutionary videogames

1. The Legend of Zelda -Created by the legendary Father of mario,Shigeru miyamoto, The Legend of Zelda can be touted as one of the most revolutionary videogames of all times. It was THE first title to allow the player to openly explore their surroundings,everything from caves to dungeons to tricky forests. The Legend of Zelda was the first of its kind to let the player really get into the games world.





2. Mario Bro's 3 -Of course I could have gone with the original Mario Bro's, but what that one did MB3 took it further, with a large colorful map,more powerups and lots of hidden secrets for the player to uncover, Mario Bro's 3 was one hell of a fun game if not difficult.





3. Gears of War -Originally released for the Xbox360,Gears of war was the first to bring about several novel innovations to 3rd person shooters, such as the extensive use of cover,using dodge rolls, and sticking grenades to your opposition. Released in 2006 many games since then have implented some of the ideas present of Gears of War





4. DOOM- The great granddaddy of all modern first person shooters, Doom is the one that started the wests craze for first person craze. If you grew up in the 90's you most likely played this game either at home or at a friends or if you had some moolah, you threw land parties and took on your friends.





5. Final Fantasy-This one is a tough choice, it was either Final Fantasy or the ever present Dragon Quest-But the title goes to Final Fantasy, FF popularized The Japanese Role Playing Game through much of the late 80's through much of the 90's and beyond. Many Conventions found in modern RPG's can be traced back to Final Fantasy in some way or form.
