Games and then some!

Currently listening to:
Lisa Miskovsky - Still Alive ( Off the game soundtrack of  "Mirrors Edge" which is an first person view through the eyes of Faith, a free runner and using parkour to get from A to B which is awesome irl. Funny picture below )
Portal - Still Alive ( Of course it's from Valve's hit title "Portal". Portal 2 is set to be released in early next year in February. The gameplay already looks really cool with the liquid mechanisms. Funny that it's the same name as the previous song)
Mannie Fresh - Real Big (One of the main song in the game "Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix. A pretty dope song for a pretty dope game )

This is my definative list for gaming. I myself am a very committed gamer and I've played on a variety of consoles so in my opinion, I have a more holistic view on gaming from Nintendo 64 through to Playstation 1 through to Xbox 360. There are games I have not played or not listed but I don't spend every waking hour in front of a TV or computer screen now, do I? God bless Wei-Ho's Atari 1OOO Console where the only game was PONG (which was the epitome of gaming once upon a time)

Damn! Hp low! Medic!
On the Nintendo 64 - GoldenEye OO7
The game that defined the First Person Shooter genre! Ah the good ol' days! I first clocked the game then clocked it again with hacks. There was even an invincibility mode but that's for n00bs. The golden sausage guns were my favourite! They recently remade GoldenEye on the Wii  with better graphics but nothing will ever trump GoldenEye on the N64.


He won't know what hit him >=D
Looks like the Pokemon TCG flopped
On the Nintendo Gameboy Color - Pokemon Red and Blue
Nothing beats a classic like this game.
I've blogged about pokemon before and it still remains near the top of my gaming list if not the best. All my pokemon games are played via an emulator cause
1) I can't afford a DS
2) The game is pricey
3) The convenience of not having to change batteries
4) Hacks

The newest games in the franchise Pokemon Black and White doesn't retain the essence of Pokemon anymore =[
They over extend themselves.
I remember when there were only a handful of items you can keep in your bag but now they have compartments and the compartments have compartments. It's too complex! Back in the simpler days, Saturday mornings = Pokemon Anime.
Man! Ash was my hero! Ritchie was also another favourite character of mine

In the arcades - Marvel Vs Capcom 2
Money not neccessarily wasted but had been taken and never got back ='[
Been a major fan of fighting games. Who didn't want to see Spiderman vs Ryu battle it out?
Hulk against Akuma or Gouki (whatever floats your boat) Morrigan vs Ironman?
Well this list goes on and on.
The new Marvel vs Capcom 3: Clash of Two Worlds looks amazing! More characters to choose from! More locations to fight at! Better graphics! Better controls layout! Can't wait to play it!
Mugen is something that quells my urges in the meantime.
Mugen is a program on my computer that replicates any arcade-styled fighting game but is fully customizable from the music, the background, the lifebar but most importantly, the characters. 
I've included some of my favourites

BTW Chuck Norris is invincible and executes OHKOs
On the Playstation One - Tekken 3
One of the best fighting games out there. I can still remember Eddy Gordo's movelist but all time favourite character has to be Marshall Law! Based of Bruce Lee like many other game characters, The rainbow kick is the one move you can spam again and again for a easy victory


Welcome to the annual Bruce Lee look-a-like competition
where the main criteria are "must look buff with no shirt on"
"must make hands signs and whiny noises"

"must be asian"
 (Top to bottom - Marshall Law from Tekken, Fei Long from Street Fighter, Jann Lee from Dead Or Alive, Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat)

On the xbox - Ninja Gaiden
One of the goriest and and most difficult games I've played in my entire life! You literally have to be a ninja and possess lightning-fast reflexes to defeat enemies or you'll get your ass handed to you and have your TV stuck with the words "GAME OVER"

This is my kind of headshot

Halo 2

In my opinion, the best Halo game in the entire franchise. Halo Reach was doing it's best to be innovative and some aspects I like but they're trying to hold off Black Ops at best but this game will always be my pinnicle of Halo. May noone forget the mascot of Halo, Master Chief ( John 117 ) *cues the sad halo mjolnir mix

I wonder what will Bungie do next?
Did you have a bowl of stupid for breakfast?
No caption needed
Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix (Traffic lights fail)
This game blended the elements of racing with the element of fun where realism plays a factor but not dominates a game like GranTurismo does and since the game was made by the people who made such games like Grand Theft Auto, the freedom of a sandbox game blends in nicely when cruising. Also, the customization of the cars are insane! From the wheels to the bonnet, to the spoiler and right down to the tints of the car.
Dodging traffic, drifting and evading the police ^^ how did you think I got my licence?


On the Playstation 2 - Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3
A extensive cast of characters right up to Shippuden. The manga is getting to be really interesting with the ninja war underway. Looks like Madara has the upper hand. Who knows. Have to wait to find out

The ways of the pervy sage =D
On the Gameboy Advance - YuGiOh! GX Duel Academy
The easy layout of gameplay and dueling makes this the best YuGiOh! card game to date. I haven't played any of the 5Ds but this one is very simple to play. Apparently, more cooler things happen when you are in Slifer Red then in Obelisk Blue 

Flame Wingman + Skyscraper = 3100 ATK + DEF monsters ATK to LP

My Favourite card! Unlimited attack!

Pokemon Troll Version
Using the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald format as a template, this game combines elements from Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3! One of the most exciting pokemon games where it seems like deja vu but also the opposite. You can get all the starters but the first three starters you can choose from are - Larvitar, Machop and Ralts. Wierd i know. Play it to find out other twists
WTF? Digimon?
On the computer - Portal and Left 4 Dead
Both have sequels which has improved from its predecessors. Left 4 Dead is relatively short by still a good game nonetheless. Brendon introduced me to Portal and now I'm hooked. Portal 2 is going to be awesome. GLaDos is going to play the antagonist again.
I've been playing the Flash Portal game too Click here to play


Aren't I delicious?
The cake is a LIE!
Sooooo fucked!

Where the hell are my cookies?!!

On the Nintendo Wii - Resident Evil : The Umbrella Chronicles
Similiar to a Time Crisis Game with the addition of Wii movements, this game I guess is one of those games where it is not aimed at Nintendo's key demographic (people with Wii fit and kiddie games). The bobbing of the camera does bring about a seasickness feeling though
That's what you get for touching my ass! Eat electricity creep!
On the Xbox 360 - Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2
Can you believe it's the same view but not at the same time? Not much can be said about the game but that it is one that you can easily fall in love with along with Black Ops (threesome?).

I'm on Halo Reach
I'm on CoD Modern Warfare 2

Assassin's Creed II
Ezio kicks some ass and making your own villa is so cool. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is set to be released this week and the content looks really awesome so far from using tanks and parachute and commanding your group of assassins also known as the Brotherhood.
Even though it was set in Rome, you can't help but feel like a ninja!




On the Playstation 3 - Little Big Planet
Sackboy is the cutest thing! especially when he's fully customizable. The game is really fun and uses the 6 axis controller to an extent. It's simple and follows a left to right manner but it's so much more than that. You can latch onto, pull objects, use teamwork to complete challenges and more. The user-made content instantly created a large fanbase and have them begging for more. LBP 2 got pushed back for release back is on its way.
Thanks Avantika for the fun times!
Hulk SMASH!
I'm Sam Worthington in my new movie!
Hail Ezio! Hail the brotherhood!
Games I also like on the PS3 include - Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2
The new Kinect and Move in my opinion is not my cup of tea. The most movement I'll do for gaming is activating STAR POWER for Guitar Hero ^^
