I have decided to do a "Top 10 Countdown of my favorite games EVER" This will come in 10 parts on ten random days when I have the time to post a blog. So let the countdown begin!

Starting at number 10:

10. Pokemon: Red Version

Yes, really. Pokemon Red Version makes into my list at number 10. The reason is simple. I remember playing this game as a kid with my cousin for hours by training our Pokemon and trading them with each other. This game really shaped my childhood and helped complete my dream of being a Pokemon trader. Lets face it. This was a really good game. The game's RPG elements were simple enough for a 7 year-old to understand. The game was enjoyable and getting your Pokemon was a huge accomplishment. I am not afraid to say this is still one of my favorite games. This is one of the few Game Boy games I have not lost over time. I still have it and I am glad I do. I also own all of the Pokemon handheld games from Game Boy to DS, but this is the only one on the list.

Today, my friend pointed me to this really interesting article on Zelda Universe. The article involves some really deep themes that exist throughout different Zelda games. I encourage you to go and take a look at this article. After reading it, I thought a lot and I agree with the author. So go look at it now. 

I myself would have never considered any of the themes mentioned in the article. I would have never put them together. But truly they do connect. After reading this article it reminded me how magical the world of Zelda can be to a gamer. Zelda represents so much, but when I played these games originally as a kid, none of these themes came to mind. It is great that people still look at these story lines and connect them to see universal theme in Zelda games, intentional or not by Nintendo's part. Any ways thanks for talking a look.

I was at work today and look what I found in one of the soda machines. The red one does taste just like Halo 3 Game Fuel that was out a couple of years ago. I have not yet tried the blue one. I am guessing these are available everywhere now. Oh, if you live near a Kroger, they are on sale for .99 cents.

THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS READER BE WARE
I was never a fan of the X-Men movies that came out previously. Actually I think they got worse as they went on. However, I think Fox was able to finally produce a good X-Men that was not too overdone. One reason I think this movies was better than all the others was it focused on one mutant, Wolverine. I thought before that the movies tried to show too many mutants and do to much at once. This is not a problem in this movie at all, the focus on one mutant makes the story much easier to understand.

This thing has another thing going for it too, the story is actually very interesting and keeps you interested in the action. There is never a dull moment or a moment where you are wonderig "What the hell is going on." The back story of Wolverine is very well explained. The story of how he learned he was mutant and running away with his brother, Victor. The beginning sequence of titles is also very cool. It shows Wolverine, Jim, and his brother, Victor or Sabertooth, in all the battles they have fought in over the years. The battles are real battles from the Civil War to World War II to Vietnam. After getting into trouble with the Army they are recruited into a special force with special powers. It is immedialy clear that this is all mutants and they are a task force to secret objectives. Stryker, the military leader in charge, has them go to a country in Africa to recover a rock. Wolverine leaves the team at this point seeing the things they are doing is not what he signed up for. Wolverine, now Logan, then begins to live the simple life in Canada with his girlfriend, Kayla. Eventually all the events that have occured come back to him, and I will close my plot summary here not to spoil it for you.

The cast gathered for this movie was a fantastice selection by caster. Of course Hugh Jackman returned for his role in Wolverine. I have always believed that Jackman was the strongest character in the X-Men movies. Comedian Ryan Renyolds plays the role of Wade and later Deadpool. It is hard to take Renyolds role seriously after all, he is a comedian. Will.i.am plays the role of a mutant too, he does a good job.

Overall I was very satisfied with X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I think they were able to take the series to the same level as Iron Man. I highly recomend this movie.

So the other day I was out with my friends and we decided to go to GameStop just to look around. At that time GameStop was having some "New Game" sale with up to
The same oldness.
The same oldness.
"50% off". I decided to look at what they had for the Xbox 360. One of the titles that caught my eye was Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. I remember when the game came out that I possibly was going to get this, but after seeing it was just a dressed up copy of GH: III I never got it. Flash forward I am at GameStop with a new copy of this game going for $9.99. That is a great deal for a new game. So in my mind it was a "What the Heck" moment and I bought it. While checking out I also got a freebie, I got upgraded to the bundled version of the game and got a guitar with it for FREE. Yes, free. So I walked out of GameStop with a new sealed copy of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and a new Guitar Hero controller. For those of you who are keeping track my friends got a bargin game from the PS2, a used copy of Sly Cooper for $4.99.

So, have any of you ever got any real sweet game deals?
