Games I beat Q1 of 2011 part 2

Dead to Rights: Retribution  
This feels like a cookie cutter game, mostly everything feels like it's from a other great game. The only thing that feel different is when your playing as a dog, and it is boring. All you do is run at someone hit the attack button and the dog kills him. The story feels like I heard this over and over again from other games and movies. The game feels like Max Payne also looks like a last gen game with touched up graphs. The game only 6-7 hours long and I dont see why anyone would have paid the full $60 for it, there is no multiplayer just single player.

Super Mario Bros.  
I may have beaten this as a kid but I dont remember ever beaten this game. 

Dark Cloud 2
http://www.giantbomb.com/dark-cloud-2/61-10007/user-reviews/?review_id=18830

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde  
I got half way through the last level, restarted with cheat and beat it. How can anyone beat this without cheating? The last level has non stop barrels and bomber guys, it is insane. 

Super Mario Bros. 3  
I know that I never beat this game as a kid. I would always get the the 8th world and give up after a few deaths.

Killzone 2  
I found this game so boring, with one i found it boring at first then enjoyed it at the end. With this one I didnt like it. What I hate about this game the most is cant use L2 to aim, I'm use to using the left trigger to aim. Most of the time I go to aim I would melee. I just found shooting hard in this game, at the end of the game I was just running at everyone and knifing them. Im passing on killzone 3.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers  
Never knew of a power rangers game until a year ago where I saw a video about it. Everything is great but Zack in the game I mean wtf?

 Racist?
 Racist?

 Rygar: The Legendary Adventure  
Rented this after watching someone play the NES Rygar and they said that there was a PS2 version. It like a god of war game years before god of war came out. The camera sucks at times and there are not that many types of enemies. Got lost a few times but after looking at a walk through alway felt dumb that I didnt see the way to go. The story is weird, 

Milon's Secret Castle  
This is one of those game I played as a kid and liked it, now I dont like it but I dont hate it as well. I cant believe how far I got in this game when I was a kid. On 1 life due to the fact I didnt know how to countiue got to the 3rd level of the castle, almost beaten the game. Plus I did this with out any help like Nintendo power. 

Where's Waldo?  
Who thought to make a video game about the where's Waldo books? Played it on easy and beat it in 30 mins only hard part to the game is the slot machine where you need to get 3 Waldo heads to launch a rocketship to the moon.

Games I beat Q1 of 2011 part 1

Barbie  
I played and beat this all beacause Craig ( http://twitter.com/TheHeroOfGaming ) said he beat this game. yeah that is why I beat it. The jumping in the game sucks and that is all that sucks with the game. You play as Barbie in her dreams, you use bows and gems to solve puzzles to go foward in the level.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian  
I was going for 100k gamerscore and this game is easy points. Game is boring, Ben Stiller didn't do voice work for the game but why cant the person look like him more, I don't know why but to me that didn't look like Ben Stiller.

Singularity  
This is a ok game, besides getting lost a few times there are no problems with this game. The story is ok but lost my interst after some time. The multiplayer is fun but dead, takes 8 people to start a game and no one ever on. After playing this makes me want to try time shift.

Mass Effect 2  
My new pick for best game in 2010. It feels less RPGish that one and one is the game that got me in to RPGs. Even though it took me 60+ hours I feel that I still missed some things and want to play through it again. One part of the game where you meet up with Ashley kinda bugs me, SPOILERS! when the mission starts you see Ashley and people running from the hive. Ashley gets caught by the hive and shes a goner right? well at the end of the mission Ashley shows up fine and we get no explanation on how she is fine or what happened.

Sesame Street: Countdown  
I was bored and half a sleep when I wonder how clear was the voice in this game was. That night I was watching Angry video game nerd videos. I cant believe how crasp and clear the voice is in it.You play as the count finding number or objects of the number you are searching for in 8, 8 level ah ah ah.

Mario is Missing!  
Luigi has not had any good games with just him in it and this started it. I do remember renting this as a kid and not knowing that its a edution game.

Tiny Toon Adventures  
This game is great but switch to a other person like dizzy is hard you need to find this ball with a star on it. It plays mostly like SMB 3. Out of the other Tiny toon games I seen and played this one the best.

Sonic Blast  
Sonic on the Game gear doesnt work sonic is slow on them. With this sonic game sonic take up half the screen and its hard to see whats coming up. This game does have good graphs and a good legth.

Bible Buffet  
Board game with no real bible game feel to it. You can play alone but its boring to do so, it would have been nice if there was a AI player.

Anticipation  
Boring board game cant remember that much about it.

Games I beat in 2010: 2009 or older

Before I get to those games I beat that didnt come out 2010 I forgot about one.
 
BioShock 2
I forgot this came out 2010. The story is ok but weird at the end. Multiplayer is good but laggy for me.

Now here are the games I beat in 2010 that didnt come out last year.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot
People say this is better than 1 but I didnt enjoy it. Most of the time I was lost and confused with the story. Will play though the game again hope that helps.

Real Heroes: Firefighter
This game surprised me its not that bad. The game also surprised me by having a boss at the end of the game. Graphs are ok but the fire looks bland, you can see it in squared off. There is no story your just a rookie, there is some small chat during missions and going to the fire. 

Fable
I played mostly the mean missions and beating it in less then 10 hours. I enjoyed the story and the game looks great.

Shadow Complex
Great game, love everything about it. Only hate that my game glitched I think, I cant find the last key card or what ever to unlock the boots.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Rock, paper, scissor the game. If this is the bad Alex the kid game then why is it on the sega collection? It is not very good, hated that there is a boos you have to beat him at rock, paper, scissor. Really?

Final Fantasy X
I started playing this almost 3 years ago and was playing off and on. I would get stuck at a boss and stop playing for a few months. I did enjoy the story, only hate Waka.

Rogue Warrior
Rock and roll mother fucker rock and roll. This game is the worst, the game trys to make this guy look all rogue and tough but it makes him annoying.
 
Borderlands
My choose for 2010 2009 game of the year. After I beat it the first time I thought I was going to put it on the shelf for a month or two and come back to it but few days later I was playing it again. Dr. Ned zobie island and secret armory are great DLC add ons but Underdome is long and usless really and claptrap's new robot revolution just has too much collecting in it and all the items to collect and random. I was hoping to face the boss at the end of the game again in that DLC, you see and cut out of it and that just let my hope up.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Never seen the movie and after playing this I dont want to. The graphs are ok but the sound with the mean guy voice would not shut up.

Prototype
Not as good as inFamous, the story was mahh. It is more fun running around in that world then inFamous because of what you can do. 

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
I love Victor Sullivan. He has that Bruce Campbell fell to him which I love. I love the story and would go to see this if it was a movie. 

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
They nailed the game play but the story and voice acting is the worst. Dont kid down the games please.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
I loved everything, the story was great starting with present time then flashing back. The game has less Sullivan and I hope three has way more of him.

Braid
Found this game boring and after 10 mins looked up a video guide just so I could beat it

Assassin's Creed II
I wish I got to finish this the time it came out and my game save and 360 didnt get messed up. They improved everything that was wrong with one, I am so happy that you can swim in the game now and alot less collecting.

Little Red Hood
I was very bored when I played this. What the angry video game nerd says is true the game is so random.

Demon's Souls
What makes this game hard is not the AI enemies but the people who invade. The last level I could not make it up the last stairs so I join others so I can be alive again and have people to join my game so they can pass and kill the dragon so I can get up the stairs. Every minute I or the person I joined would get invade. If you play this play it offline, unhook the internet to the PS3. 

Devil May Cry 2
I thought this game was not that bad then I played disk two. Its all the same your just playing the game as Lucia thats all. Disk two is a waste of time

Fable II
Feels like a remake of the 1st game. Online co op sucks your stuck in a the same screen like in a local co op game. I still had fun playing this.

Max Payne
I found the game hard at first due to the fact that its been some time since I played a shooter on the PS2. The story is great and I like the way they do cut scenes. The graphs could have been better for the people, everyone looks blocky.

Comix Zone
This game is hard, I cant even beat the 1st level. I use a cheat to beat this game just like everyone else has and if you beat it without cheats you are a video game god.

The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout
This game is way to easy, its so easy to beat bosses, earn extra lifes and the level are some what easy. There are a few where you will die a few times but by then you will have lifes to spare.

Altered Beast
The sega version is hard few lifes, at best I would make it to the 2nd level. I beat the arcade version on the Sega collection for the 360, unlimited continues. 

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2
I didnt care for the story, didnt care for the story in one as well. I like the online co op thats in the game.

Far Cry 2
All the missions in the game start to feel the same and the game is a bit to big takes to long to get from one point the the other just by driving. I hate that you need to get and take pills, at the start of the game if you dont go get the pills you can rome around for hours and you wont need any pills. Also hate the weapons breaking over time. Multiplayer is fun but takes way to long to level up and up lock new weapons.

Dead Space
I really liked this game, even that I saw most of this on a stream the game still scared me. I did find the game easy but the parts where you have to shoot meters I hate that part so much. I dont like the controlls, I am always missing them and I hate that if they go off screen they still hit you. I hope two doesnt have that part, cant wait to play that.

Kingdom Hearts
I kinda wished I played this when I was younger, I would have enjoyed it more. I need to get my hands on KH2 now. 

Here is a list of games I started but didnt finish in 2010
Dark Could 2- got to a point in the game where I dont know what to do, the game doesnt give me any clues of what to do and even two guides I looked up say two diffirent things to do and both didnt work.
Final Fantasy X-2 - Opening my god
Fallout: New Vegas- taking my time with it, started after getting guide book and waiting for all the DLC to come out before finishing it.
Metal Gear Solid- I am at Metal Gear, I'm finding it hard to beat it
Ninja Gaiden 2 (360)- at the last boss and damn hard. 
There are more but with them I just really didnt like them or just forgot about them.

Games I beat in 2010: 2010 games

Halo: Reach
Story was ok but but you dont get a to know anyone in the game. Multi is the same still get my ass handed to me. Fire fight matchmaking is great but with they had a made with a death limit like in ODST.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
The story was good but not great. There was very little to do and only a few of the side missions were fun to play. I miss the open world from 1.

Just Cause 2
Besides the story is dumb and boring and the voice acting bad yet funny for a few Just Cause 2 is a fun game. It feels like what Mercenaries 2 should have been with a grapple hook. Feels great to be able to hook on to anything and use the grapple hook on enemies. I wish I could have more cars, boats, planes and choopers to buy from the black market.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Story was great love the twist ending. Multiplayer i hate I have to unlock it then I have to buy it, just give me my stuff when I unlock it. I know Halo Reach does this but its all arror that just for look not guns and perks you need to get kills. Zombie mode (the reason I rented this) is ok but makes me want to play left 4 dead instead.

Donkey Kong Country Returns
This game is hard, feels like the first Donkey Kong Country game. Controlls were great but shaking the wii mote some times didnt work well. I tryed not to use the super guide alot but I did a few times I dont like that you can let the super guide beat bosses for you even the final boss.

X-Men
I never saw this in the arcades around here. It was fun playing but there is no challenge to the game because there is unless continues. I would have added this to best of 2010 but its not new.

Dead Rising 2
Story was touching gave me a reason to make it to the end. Hope co op got fix, suck getting kicked every time the host saved the game. Terror Is Reality is useless, you dont need money for anything unless you want the cars. It was dead the week it came out, had a hard time finding a game.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The story was great but it was missing the funny small talk between Terrence and George. I know if you wait at points you will hear it but I guess I was waiting at the wrong points because I didn't get any. Multiplayer is better now that I dont have to worry about shooting a teammate killing them and dont have to worry about dicks joining my team and team killing everyone. Its my game of the year.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero
It does feel like a demo but I enjoyed it. There is very little back story, you just find out who bit Katey.

Crackdown 2
This is one of the three sequels that were a let down. I was hoping that they learn that a game needs a story or then kill these people game over. The game is too easy, there are only a few enemies at the points you need to actavate. A small group of cops could have done this but no they waste money and send you. They did fix the problem of finding orbs where we had to find about 800 of them but what they do next? THEY ADD MORE! WHY? It is fun running around the city when your all leveled up. when crackdown 3 comes out and I pick it up and play it I'm going to hate my self.

Lost Planet 2
This game was also I let down. Story is crap having 4 stories about 4 group of people meeting at the end sucked. Playing co op is fun but it sucks if you are playing on hard and someone sucks at the game. Multiplayer I dont know when the game came out I was ending up 3rd or 4th in kills and points 2 weeks later I cant kill anyone, I dont know why.

Fable III
Flat out the worst game of the year. The story is shit, the main plot is told to us late in the game and rushed. The game is very glitchy, frame rate will drop down to where the game is in slow mo for no reason, the golden path disappears randomly and many others. I had to restart the game after 10 hours due to a mission glitching and would not end. Due to the auto save switch cant be turned off I had to restart. after catching back up to where I was in the game I wanted to make a copy of the save so that if it happen again I could use that save but it would not let me. The only good thing in the game is there is more freedom in co op then in Fable 2.

Fallout:new vegas day 1

I played for 12 hours to and restarted after a bit over 5 hours. Why you may ask? I quickly picked my 2nd perk at the start, you get to choose 2 perks. I picked fast aim lets you aim faster but your accuracy goes down 20%. I would miss have my shots and I didn't know why because I only saw the name of it. I was watching the Spoonyone live stream and he just started playing it. He read the perk Fast aim and thats when I knew why I couldn't hit sh!t. So I restarted and stop after 6 hours. I don't want to beat the game until all the DLC is out. Im doing missions but slowly and Im being a super item whore almost anything I can take I will take it. The game has not given me my own place yet so I made my own using highway police station right now. I have run in to glitches like 1 person said their lines 2 times, few times the kill slowmo hangs way to long and floating brush. More then I have had with fallout 3 for the 200 hours I played. when I wake up going to spend the whole day playing it, hoping to get a place of my own like in 3.

Xbox live price rant

I'm not going to rant about live costing $10 more, I get live every year as a gift so don't care. I am going to rant about why I think they are doing it. On spotlight right now there is a ad for live, Xbox live been on sale on from purchasing on the system for sometime on. The price of it from buying in a store is $60 now and on the console $40. Microsoft is doing this just so people buy live from the console instead of a store. Do you know the number of gamer tags that get hacked every year? Do you know what most of the hackers are looking for? Credit cards, Xbox saves your credit card info on your gamer tag. This can happen to anyone, it happen to Major Nelson and did you hear Microsoft address the problem? Nope. He got his gamer tag back but others from what I heard don't. From what I have heard as soon as a hacker hacks the gamer tag they delete everyone on the friends list, change the gamer tag name then goes shopping. I never heard of anyones PSN name getting hacked. PSN doesn't save the credit card info on your name. If Microsoft gave the option to not save it that would be good. I have even heard of the problems of trying to remove a credit card, it sounded like they wouldn't let it happen giving the person the run around. Microsoft please make it a option to save the info to a gamer tag, there is no reason to have it saved to the gamer tag.
