  • I thought I should really blog. I've been bad about blogging the last FIVE MONTHS. But I'm doing coursework, so I only had five minutes to spend on this blog.
  • I could write a mini essay going into how I'd rather buy a game I have no intention of sticking in the drive more than once, and how this corresponds to my love of music and my intention to spend all my relieved money this year on a new drum kit or something, but I'm doing coursework.
  • I've almost finished ODST. I would have finished it, but I have coursework.
  • I make a habit of buying (most) games I want about a year after they come out. They are so much cheaper that way....I look forwards to Borderlands, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and Modern Warfare 2 sometime in 2010.

Games That Need Sequels NOW.

  Its that time of year again folks, the time I look at the Holiday release schedule and still don't see...well if I said now I'd ruin the list for you. But anyway, these are the games that I love so hard and am sad that there isn't a sequel to them for me to play, and the likelyhood of one is low. 
 

Games That Need Sequels NOW.

Its that time of year again folks, the time I look at the Holiday release schedule and still don't see...well if I said now I'd ruin the list for you. But anyway, these are the games that I love so hard and am sad that there isn't a sequel to them for me to play, and the likelyhood of one is low.

1. Tony Hawk's Proving Ground

Was I the only one? I love Tony Hawk, I love the goofiness, I love the arcade style. Yes, to me, Proving Ground was a disappointment because it tried to be realistic and edgy, which was a mistake releasing side by side with skate. But it is the only TH game I'll have to play on my 360 ever. I loved the TH formula, and the additions, whilst minor each year, kept me interested. I may have been in a minority, but it made me sad. Now they've just moved Neversoft to whoring out Guitar Hero, and want to make me spend money to "fakeboard." That isn't a true sequel. They could have just remembered that arcade-like Tony Hawk is awesome, and all it needed was a bit of refining, but they just gave up. Ride is a new skating franchise, and my Tony Hawk will be missed.

2. Star Wars: Republic Commando

DAAAAAAAAAAMN I love this game. Tell this to George Lucas: This is the only Star Wars related piece of media that I shed a tear in. No, I'm not gonna spoil the ending, because I want you all to get it for xbox, buy it off steam if its on there, and play this game. In my eyes, its the last game from the golden era of Star Wars games, when the games kicked much butt, and the films did not. Unfortunately, the reason there will never be a sequel to this game, however, is star wars. It starts at the beginning of the clone wars, and ends at the end of them. You may say a sequel could be side-story of another group but it wouldn't be as awesome, this game really gave a sense of care for your team. I don't care for...michael and..I can't even remember what they were called in R6V. But Sev, Fixer and Scorch. I love you guys, and no one can replace you. =[. (Lucas Arts, even though it would break the clone wars itself, make an out of continuity game starting straight after the end of this one, you can guess what that would contain. kthxbai.)

3. American McGee presents SCRAPLAND

D-Tritus! I love you dude. This game ru-uu-les. This *IS* a more kid-friendly future GTA, and how it should be done. Even in this "kid friendly" attitude though, there are great standout elements of dark humour that the characters are impervious to that makes it just that little bit edgier. The gameplay was top notch in the cars themselves, which is where most of the action took place. Sure on foot it left a...little to be desired, but I looked past the faults, and I saw the great game beneath. There were so many unique ideas in storytelling and gameplay which deserve to be expanded upon at least one more time.

4. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3

Its about time for another RollerCoaster Tycoon game, right? Damn I loved these. I must have spent HOURS in RCT 2 making coasters, making parks, putting no entry signs in front of the park exit. Ahhh, goodtimes. Then three came along, and I got that a bit later after I got a PC that was "with" the times. (Yes, my PC sucks), and whilst some additions were hit and miss, the loss of the isometric perspective was a necessity. The perfect isometric RC game was already made, and there were things you had to sacrifice to get the 3D in. Sure, it was harder to run and build coasters now, but YOU COULD RIDE THEM YOURSELF. That was awesome. And it was a bit buggy, sure, but they ironed them out with patch support, and could build so much more for a sequel. Its a sequel I wish I can see, someday.

5. Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

This game is different, I know more Ace Combat games will come. But they have a habit to jump around consoles, go to portable, go to iPhone etc. etc. And I just want another on the 360, I hope they don't switch to the PS3 for the next game. Why? BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A PS3 AND WANT TO PLAY IT. Sure, its selfish, but this game has the best orchestral soundtrack for any game, bar none. It had be shouting at the screen in the TRAILER. I was timing all my dives and shots for the big crescendos in the music. So yeah, its an awesomely inspirational game like that, and I want another to be able to play. I want to be able to pull my Hi-G turn, lock on and shoot 5 targets. And I want it on a console I can play it on. Sure its selfish, but thats what everyone is thinking about Persona 5 (please please please on a platform I can play it).

6. Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance

OOOOOOH The X-Wing games. I loved this game, I even bought a joystick for it. (Yes, another Star Wars Game) This game was awesome. Sure It was a lot of following the arrow for the offscreen target before you could shoot it, but the concept still remains as one of the most genius things ever. Now make a modern day sequel, Lucas Arts, if your reviving Monkey Island and what-have-you then you have an obligation to start making good star wars games, then the occasional good star wars game, then just whoring star wars games, then going back to re-releasing adventure games and MAKING THE WHOLE ENDLESS CYCLE ARGHHH. (Short message: Sequel pl0x)

7. Jade Empire

Sure, I loved what BioWare did with Mass Effect, but after they are done with that, go back to Jade Empire please, if EA aren't too busy making you make SHITTY iPHONE GAMES. Anyway, Jade Empire had an awesome eastern setting, with enough unique little twists to make it worth making a franchise out of. Sure, there were faults, but Mass Effect has faults too, and even though I probably like ME more, I want BioWare to make another game in this setting at some point. PLEEEEEASE.

8. JSRF: Jet Set Radio Future

Yes Yes, I made this entire list to mention this game. But let me say: This game has the best soundtrack ever, This game has the best sense of style ever, and this game RULES. I still listen to the soundtrack on my iPod, a whole 8(?) or so years on! And imagine what a Jet Set game powered by the xbox 360 could look like? Isn't it just amazing. (This is another occurrence where I wish to have the game I want on the platform I own, I'm not a fanboy, just selfish). There were many faults with the gameplay of future which I saw through because the style and everything was so good, but if SEGA could make a comeback, make a sequel to this game, make it EVEN BETTER and give me "Concept of Love" as the opening, and allow me to sing along to Aisle 10, I could die happy.

Some of you may know of another awesome user who posts some awesome indie music. Well, I'm going to shamelessly do the same.

  

Right, this "band" is one person who I found on last.fm whilst browsing, as it turned out he lives about 40 minutes away from me. Anyway, he had a couple of demo tracks on last.fm, and they were pretty sweet. Hes just now told me that hes got a 5 track EP on youtube, of which this is the second track. Its kinda ambiet electronic instrumental but with guitar. Its pretty sweet, nice to have on in the background whilst doing some...*shudder*...work.

Oh, and the best news about this music? Its free, according to the youtube descriptions, so go download it, its pretty sweet with some MAD OUT THERE TIME SIGNATURES.

In Other News...

  • In the last couple of weeks, I finished TLAD (pretty sweet) and DMC 4 (Also sweet). I also did the last levels I'd been waiting to finish for a while of Ninja Gaiden II (its sweet) and Ace Combat 6 (That game is sweet, too)
  • I'm now doing me some Lost Odyssey.
  • I got 4200 Microsoft points for the Summer of Arcade and some DLC. Its still not enough -[.
  • *IT* is never enough, no matter what it is.

So, I am not Lies

But, I do have an extreme like for his , and especially his latest one. So, consider this blog some kind of "continuation" of his, yet totally not the original, written by someone new, done without the creators permission but with full credit given. I'm sort of like Treyarch to Lies' Infinity Ward. Anyhoo, without further ado:

Transformers

I've even put the pictures in the same place as Lies.
I've even put the pictures in the same place as Lies.
I am a great fan of Transformers, I don't watch the old episodes every week or whatever, and I'm probably 10 years too old for them (as in, was born after they had finished), and thus was raised on Armada. But anyway, giant robots that can change into cars just easily translates into a free roaming action game. This has not yet happened. "That" PS2 game was pretty good, so I heard, but my Lack of PS2 meant I couldn't play it, though I really wanted to, being it coming out during my watching of Armada. However, that seems to be the only really ok game about CARS WHICH BECOME ROBOTS. All you need to do, is give a city, get the G1 liscence, and thus about a gazillion UNIQUE transformers, rather than making you fight nameless drones, and make it control right. It. Is. Not. Hard.

I sit here and await the day I get to play a transformers game, and it is the best game ever, because its truly possible, with TRANSFORMING CARS. But alas, no one in the industry seems to realise, at heart, what is needed to make a Transformers game fun, and thus we get unoriginal shooter/brawlers with a gimmicky transform mechanic.

Star Trek

They even got Sulu...*sigh*
They even got Sulu...*sigh*
One or perhaps two Star Trek games can be said "worthy" of the status of above mediocre games. Perhaps Elite Force is up there, perhaps that wierd RTS mini-series a while back that I never played, but most definately Bridge Commander. Bridge Commander is quite unique as a Star Trek game, as the AI does all the work. All you do is tell the AI what to do. You can control directly, but as the title suggests, it is BETTER TO SIT IN THE CAPTAINS CHAIR. End of. Direct Control pales in comparison to doing the same job as Picard. The game had a mildly decent Story Mode, but an epic mod community, which brought out Borg Ships, New Bridges, New AI to keep the game updated. Why do we not have a proper sequel? This game is what Star Trek Games should be, as all the recent attempts are a load of shit. See: Shattered Universe.

Its another franchise with a wealth of races and backgrounds. You could make any good game and stick the Star Trek name on it, and it would fit in, due to the huge number of aliens etc. that are in it. You could make a Star Trek Mass Effect, that would work, Mass Effect can do diplomacy and shooting right. But, as Bridge Commander proved to me, the best games are those that embrace the best parts of Star Trek, and put you where you want to be, in the captains chair. Please, make it happen again.

Thanks for reading, I also only have two, but only cause I need to go to work.

So, I listen to music

And I've listened to alot this week. And thus, I feel I need to present to you a song that you owe it to yourself to check out. I know this will get a negative response due to the internet to base how good music is in what genre it is, but I feel this song is amazing. Without further ado, the song, then my reasons.

  

Ok. Ignore the montage of shitty images, its just the song I bring before you today. Anyway, in my personal opinion it could very well be on my top 10 list of songs of all time, and my taste ranges from pop-punk to death metal. First off, the intro is easily sing-along-able, with an epic build up at the end which, when I went to see them, made everyone shit themeselves with awesomeness.

Then, when it breaks into the song, the guitars feel just right, the speed is just right, and the lyrics are awesome, not to "emo" not too "moany" but taking the form of a rally cry, they are perfect to have an entire crowd to sing along to, and personally, every time this song comes up, I'm not ashamed to say I normally get out of my chair and have a one man mosh pit. Eventually the song breaks, and gets into an even more epic build up, which, again, was amazing live. Eventually this epic slow cry combines with the chorus to make an amazing ending, with an awesome drum roll in the background the ending of the rest of the song.

This is how you write epic songs, and no matter your opinion on the connotations of the band, I'd like you to give it one more chance and see for yourself how epic music is done.

  • Prototype soldiers need to know the meaning of Common Enemy.
