So today is my 16th birthday! *gasps* Yes I know I'm only 16. But it isn't a very "happy" birthday since my dog died last night. He was only 4 and we have no idea what happened. It's hard to believe that he is gone. I'll never be able to see his face again. I was at rehearsal at school when my parents took him to the vet. I never even got the chance to say Good-Bye. It's been a pretty rough b-day altogether though. I can never replace him, he truly was man's best friend. Does anyone here know what the price for a lab is at Petsmart? I can't replace him but I now know that I need to cherish my pets. I never played with him enough and he was a great dog. I just never thought he would die this soon. I'm saving up my money for a new lab so I'm just trying to get an idea of how much they would cost.

So here is a part two continuation of my top 30 games of all-time!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

25. The Orange Box (Xbox 360)

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

   What do you get when you combine Half-life, Team Fortress 2, and Portal all into one game? Thats right you get.............The.....Orange Box? What's Orange about it? Who cares. This game is flat-out amazing. This was the first time I have ever played a Half-Life game and let me tell you they were great. The story is nice, the graphics are pretty good, and the gameplay is intense. Team Fortress 2 also surprisingly offers some of the best multiplayer to date for the 360, and for any console. It's addictive and has the charm that makes you want to play over and over again. There are several types of really different classes to play that just hooks you and gives great change when you tired of playing one class. Also Portal is one of the most original, and addictive games in a long time. I would pay $30 for that alone.


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

24. Banjo Kazooie (N64)

____________________________________________________________________________________________

  This was the very first Rare game I played. I have to admit I was nervous when I picked this up from my friend wondering if it was worth my time to play. Let me tell you it was. I have now beat this game on the N64 and Xbox Live Arcade. It has great charm, fun gameplay, and great graphics. There really isn't a very adventurous story but for what it lacks in story it makes up for in gameplay. Your goal is to collect jiggies these puzzle pieces which unlock new levels and allow you to advance further in the game. The enemies are great and varied throughout every level, and the boss battles are descently memorable. For such an odd premise this game pretty much delivers a solid experience and I recommend any who haven't played this to go buy it right now. Give it a try!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

23. Super Smash Brothers Brawl (Wii)

____________________________________________________________________________________________

  The best SSB game to date. It boasts the largest cast of characters in any SSB game yet, and has some of the best, and the most lovable characters from the other two games along with several new and highly anticipated characters. The gameplay is very balanced and each character has it's strengths and weaknesses. Even when you get to a player that just spams one move with Kirby or Pit there is always an obvious way to beat them depending on the stage your on. it also adds, for once, a storyline called the Subspace Emissary where you go through many different types of levels with different characters. This is one way of unlocking the extra characters in the game for multiplayer. The graphics are the best out of any game on the Wii to date and it has endless hours of replay value. I'm sure you've all played it at least once.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

22. Contra 3 (SNES)

____________________________________________________________________________________________

 I have to admit at first I hated this game. It was so brutally difficult that I just wanted to through a controller through my window. Then it hit me. I finally started to get the hang of it and the game became awesome. It is very fast paced and intense. There is NEVER a slow or resting moment in the entire game. The enemies are ruthless, and you have next to no health...... I love it! I realized that this just made the game so much better. If it was just an average game with an easy difficulty would it be as good as it is? Probably not. The difficulty challenged us to beat it and teased us causing many upon many of people to try and conquer this beast.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

21. Kingdom Hearts (PS2)

____________________________________________________________________________________________

 Those of you that know me well enough will be very surprised to see this game as #21 on my list.I promise the goods are coming. I am a huge fan of Kingdom Hearts and have done almost everything possible to do. We all grew up on Disney so finally a great RPG came that we all could relate too. The characters were memorable and the story was great. It also had many of the lovable characters from FInal Fantasy also. It had unique gameplay and a great opening cutscene haha. It was a lengthy game to for Disney and had several side boss fights at the same time. While the game is sometimes linear due to the lack of side quests the main storyline is enough to hook you, and it has some very great arena fights at the Olympic Colliseum. There are several tournaments to enter into and The Hades Cup has over 50 battles with some great boss fights in it too.


So there you have it. Part 2 of my Top 30 Games of All-Time. I know there will be some disagreement but I hope you all enjoyed it for the most part.

So I saw a few others making this so I thought maybe I should put my two sense in and make my own list. First off,  you should know that I haven't played a plethora of classic games so my list won't have a lot of old old games like from the Genesis or anything on there. I think it goes back as far as one or two NES games is my classic gaming career and then N64 and so on.  I know the top will look kinda dull at first but bare with me. And here....we.......go!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

30. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (PS)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  This game is pretty much in here because of nostalgia. Now that is not to say that it isn't a great game because this is a pretty good platformer. The humor is great and the level design, while basic, is pretty fun to fool around in. The character models are pretty well done for a Playstation game and this game was pretty early for its time. I really liked how they used the level system to collect crystals and diamonds this time around instead of just beating it then advancing to the next level like in the original.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

29. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow (GB)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Everyone played Pokemon when they were younger. The game was a huge hit and an instant classic. The sheer enjoyment of just exploring the world and trying to "catch em' all" hooked adults and young kids. We all couldn't put it down. As one of my first handheld games this did a great number of things for my gaming career as well is peeking a little interest into being a gamer. The graphics weren't anything special but were still great for a GB game. We will all remember Pokemon in our lifetime.


_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

28. Devil May Cry 3 (PS2)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 After playing the original I went into buy this game one day on the used game shelf and had no idea what I had gotten myself into. The game was brutal. I had no idea it would be this hard. When a game's first boss is harder than some of the final bosses in other games you know your in for a ride. And what a ride it was. Once you got the hang of it the game is great. Dante is a great protagonist and the cutscenes are beautiful and funny. The gameplay is very fun. Even though  found it hard to upgrade all your weapons and get the necessary healing items I still enjoyed the game.


_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

27. Mario Kart 64 (N64) 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 When I was younger me and my friends used to play this game all the time. It was funny, enjoyable, had great multiplayer options, and it had MARIO! In my opinion this game pretty much paved the way for other racers today in its own obscure way of doing so. The tracks were great , there were just enough so you didn't get bored, and the gameplay was very enjoyable. Your goal was to win the race, BUT everyone could obtain pick-ups that could be used as a weapon to distract or slow down other drivers. Ah good times!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

26. Braid (Xbox 360 Arcade)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Funny story actually. I don't own this game. I played the whole game through on my friends 360 while staying with him one night. Hey had already beaten it so he helped out a little. The artistic style of this game is great. It's almost like your playing a game inside a painting. The ability to slow down time has been used before but this game really uses it well. The puzzles are great and challenging and require a lot of thinking. While people complained that the $20 price tag was too much for a pretty short game it didn't stop sells and it shouldn't stop you from trying this out.


Well there you have it. Stay tuned for Part 2 in the next day or so. Hope you all enjoyed and didn't disagree with me to much  =) !!!!!!

So I think my friends who are still loyal to me deserve a good explanation to why I have been gone for over 6 months. And here it is. I know i have said this before but the boards around here aren't nearly as active as they are on other websites. If I need a question answered I can't rely on GiantBomb to respond quick enough. If you have seen, the game boards here are dead so I decided to give a lengthy break for awhile to this place grew enough. I am proud to say I am back now.
Secondly, I was losing my blog readers. Instead of 30-40 comments on my blogs I was getting like 3-10. I didn't feel like people cared about my opinion as much anymore. The first week of launch I had over 500 friend requests and people commented on my blogs twice daly. It was awesome. Then my comments started to die down. I didn't feel like sitting down and writing a lengthy blog if 2 people were going to read it. So I hope I can regain my readers.
Thirdly, school has been hell. I had some of the hardest classes last semester plus I was in three plays and I had to run cross-country. I barely had time to play my games let alone blog about games on here. I have an easier semester now though so I have more time.
Fourthly, my account is glitched. I had like 500 posts in the first 3 days of the site's history, but it only said I had 8. It made me mad that it makes me look like a noob when I have 8 posts.
So there you go. my latest blog. I am back please tell your friends about me. I doubt many people remember me but I hope you all do. Have a great day!

I have made several blogs in the past and hardly anyone comments on them anymore. I used to have between 17-30 comments and now I have hardly anybody commenting anymore.
