Killzone 2 (PS3)- As I suspected, this game is good, but extremely over-hyped, but that seems to be the theme of this entire generation of gaming. They hype good games up, and they never live up tot he hype. So far I'm only playing the Single Player of the game, and while I like it, it's nothing revolutionary. Don't get me wrong, so far it's enjoyable, and is one of the better FPS games this gen, but I've played it all before. Not to say there's anything wrong with that, but this game in no way touches classics like Half Life, but very few FPS do. I haven't gotten around to playing it online as of yet, and I may post some vids of it's online gameplay in action when I do. Mario Kart: Double Dash (Gamecube)- I only just got this the other day. I had played it a little previously, but I'm still pretty much learning the game (Hence why I play so badly in this footage. Plus It was on the hardest difficulty, and I hadn't played that difficulty yet). Overall, Mario Kart is a fun game in any form, but I'm still preferential to Mario Kart 64. This game's great fun in single, and especially multiplayer, but MK64 is still my personal favorite in the series. Mirror's Edge (Xbox 360)- I finally got my 360 back from my friend that I loaned it too about three months or more back. His red-ringed out, so I let him borrow mine, but he took too damn long to send his out, so I went and got mine back. The main 360 game I own that I was getting massive cravings to play was Mirror's Edge. This is one of my favorite games this gen. I've got my complaints about the game (I wish there was a little bit more allowance for exploration, and sometimes the wall running/jumping controls don't work like they should causing many deaths), but I played through this game three times straight (Medium, Hard, and then I went back to easy) when I got it. There's just something so damn addictive about this game to me. Even though it's very linear, I just enjoy this game a lot. I kinda liken it to the Tomb Raider of this generation. Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (PS3)- What can I say about this game? It's about as good as platformers get. If you've got a PS3 and are a fan of the genre, then you need to get this game. I'm finding it to be extremely addictive, and hard to put down. I never got o play the second and third Ratchet games, so I'm not sure if some of the new additions (like the RPGish leveling of your weapons in the game) are carried over from those games, but this is the premier platformer on the PS3, and should be in any fan of the genre's collection. Some people may be put off because it doesn't have any sort of online play, but who in the hell cares? Gaming survived for decades without online play, and this game has an extremely goo ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LArufXkv2M

I first picked this game up when I was in high school, and I was a little disappointed with it at the time, however, when playing it again, I found myself completely addicted to the bot deathmatches. Flawed, but still fun game. #MotorMayhem #PS2 #gamereview ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utAA7xps4ig

This is a thrift store find that surprised me as being a fun and competent little shooter. It's obviously geared towards kids, but this comes from Travelers Tails, and has the same addictive collect stuff to buy upgrades formula that LEGO Star Wars has. Honestly, for a game geared toward kids, this is fun, and has a unique character switching system, mixed with that addictive collecting formula. Not everything is perfect, but this is solid, and I had fun with my time playing just the first two levels. The Grphics are decent, and the PS2 version even has widescreen support which is why this footage was recorded in 16:9. The controls are tank-controls which may put some people off, but if you hold R2, you can sidestep, so it's reminiscent of perhaps a 3rd person shooter in the PS1 era. That being said, looking up the reviews for this game, I am scratching my head. I know that Bionicle is a line and has it's own books an lore, but why would a gamespot review (giving it a 4/10) mention plot holes? Like really? who gives a flying **** about plot holes in a simple shooter that is geared towards kids? -Face palm- Seriously, unless the game is broken later on in the gameplay, I would say any "professional" review that gave this game anything lower than a 7 is not worth listening to. I can't speak for the Xbox 360, Gamecube, PC, or Wii versions of this game, but seriously, this isn't a 4 or 5 out of ten game, this is a game that has fun, and playable elements. It's not spectacular in any way, but it is fun, and at least from what I have played so far, not broken. As I look back, and read reviews published in the years gone by I start to see that a lot of the gaming media was out of touch, and had no idea what even made a game good. Seriously PLOT HOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm guessing they only played a couple of levels and wrote a review for the game, because it wasn't a high profile release, so why bother playing more, plus, they probably couldn't beat the game anyway. I'd tell them to do better, but we all know they won't. terrible gamespot review: https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/bionicle-heroes-review/1900-6162552/ #BionicleHeroes #PS2 #Gameplay ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuPnShr7Fpw

This is only the second time ever I have booted this game up. I never played it back in the day. Solid platformer, but a slower-paced one. I'm guessing that is because it was marketed to kids. I'm not good at this game, but good game to look into. I'm not sure how it stacks up against Castle of Illusion, but I've heard more about Castle than World, so I'm guessing Castle is the one fans liked better. #WorldofIllusion #Genesis #Gameplay ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7wHENRD1jo
