Hey
I may be starting a pod cast at some point with my friend Alex. Oh and thanks to Amanda for referring some customers from her table at gameworks to my website... That makes her person of the month! Congratulations.
Lets have a chat
Some people criticize me for writing short reviews. When I read reviews I don't want to read 20 paragraphs about every little feature I want to know what the game is about and if its good or not, Then I decide if I want to buy it. No I do not write short reviews out of laziness I love writing reviews and hope to professionally write someday. Quit hating people.
Resident Evil 5
Sorry its been so long for this review but school is taking up a lot of my time.
Story: The game calls itself a survival horror game but do not be fooled, Its not scary... at all. The story is okay but kind of weak at parts. It tries to do a Metal Gear Solid 4 wrap up where it ties up all loose ends but it just doesn't do it right. Story: 7
Playability: Its a third person shooter in the same vein as gears of war but you can not move while shooting. Some people complain about that but I think it makes the game better as it adds a lot of intensity to it (intense and scary are way different in my book). The game has just about endless replayability due to a huge weapon list and the ability to upgrade said weapons. Playability: 10
Enjoyment: I played this game almost nonstop my first play through. I just couldn't bring myself to let the controller go. That being said I have to say I enjoyed Dead Space quite a bit more than Re5, It was scary, Had more upgrades, you can move while shooting, It was longer and had a way better story. Enjoyment: 9
Overall: This game is a must buy for action game fans and people who cant stop till they have upgraded every last thing. I love this game and have beaten it countless times. Go buy this game it rocks. Overall: 9

Street Fighter 4
Hey everyone. Sorry I took a little break from reviewing but im back with a review for what is a great contender for game of the year.
Structure/story: This game is a 2.5d fighter. that's it. While they're is a central plot it's hard to follow and overall forgettable. I love fighters but couldn't care less for the story.
Structure/story: 9
Enjoyment: This game is great. Awesome graphical effects and combos to keep you playing through the night. Strictly gameplay wise I see no flaws. Enjoyment 10 (And thats a big 10!)
Playability: For those of you worried about buying this game only to find that each character has about ten thousand moves for you to master that will most likely take you a good week before actually playing *coughs* Soul Calibur 4. Have no fear each character has about 15 moves (give or take) and its even so kind to include a mode that takes you through each characters moves with on screen directions on how to do them. Two new gameplay features add the icing on the freaking cake to this game. The first is the super and ultra meter that builds up as you do different moves or take damage. upon filling up completely you can use them to do devastating damage to your opponant, The second is ex moves these are regular character moves with a second button press to make them do more damage at the cost of some of your super meter. Playability: 10
Overall: Street fighter 4 is without a doubt the best fighter I have ever played. Its fun for both amatures and pro's and is an incredibly in depth game. Street Fighter 4 gets a massive 10 out of 10.
Side note: If you have both the 360 and the ps3 and don't know which to get it for, I stress you get it for the ps3 as the 360 controller never works right for fighting games. If you want to play me add me as a friend. My psn tag is panzy14.

Crayon Physics Deluxe
Before I review I would like to note that this is an indie game, Which means its not a big team of people with lots of resources who made it just one guy. So please do NOT torrent this game as he did not have the money that big name company's have to make this. That means that you are big time ripping him off and for 20 bucks it really isn't worth torrenting.
Structure/Story: There really isn't a story to this game as it is more about drawing anything you want and having it come to life (using real world physics) to get a ball to a star all in colorful crayon style graphics. It sounds mundane I know but trust me its awesome. Structure/Story: 9
Playability: This game has endless replayability due to, 1: Endless ways to beat each level, 2: Create your own levels and upload them online, and 3: Download user levels to play for yourself.
The physics work phenomenal with no glitches (that Ive found at least) or bad drawing detection. Overall I see myself still playing this one year from now. Playability: 10
Enjoyment: This game is very enjoyable and satisfactory especially when you make a big machine and watch it go to work to get your ball where it needs to go. with 80 awesome levels it will probably take you a while to complete but that's ok because it never gets boring. Some puzzles are very difficult, One of the later ones took me 10 minutes just staring at the screen to figure out what I was gonna try to do. Enjoyment: 10
Overall: Overall this game is amazing never gets boring and for 20 bucks it is a must buy for all gamers. If your computer wont run this game (for whatever reason) There is a 5 dollar version for the ipod touch and iphone which I have lol. Crayon Physics Deluxe gets a 10 out of 10.
Go to kloonigames.com to check out the creator's (Petri Purho) blog and to buy this perfect game or try out the free demo
(the ipod touch version gets a 7 out of 10 because there are 30 less levels and the physics dont work right half the time)

Stuck
Picture yourself playing "Call Of Duty World At War" at 2 in the morning. Sitting in your nice warm house. Now imagine that your sister asks you to help her friend get unstuck at the bottom of a hill completely covered in ice. After being outside freezing to death at sub zero temperature for way too long I go back inside and fall asleep from exhaustion, hooray for helping.

Castlevania Circle Of The Moon
structure/story. The game starts out with 3 new heroes that don't have anything to do with the overall Castlevania storyline running to attack Dracula, Two of them get blasted into a pit thus thrusting you into control of one of them. The story is a little cheesy and overdone complete with a jealous son and some big thing happening at midnight (that's not a spoiler) blah blah blah. The structure Is basically the same as symphony of the night, where you run around a castle level up your character and find hidden items. Structure/story 8.5
Enjoyment. This game is enjoyable, the rpg system is nice and balanced its fun wandering around a big castle and finding new things. Although some parts of the game are way too difficult so be prepared to die... alot. There is one new feature in the game called dual setup system (or something like that) and its pretty cool. You take some base cards (weapon changers stat changers) then take an element card (holy, fire, poison ect) and mix them togther for some cool effects. Enjoyment 9.5
Playability. The first time through this game is alot of fun but after the first playthrough there isnt much to make you wanna come back and play. Especially since for whatever reason they didnt include a freaking store. So when your stuck on a boss fight there is no buying potions. Playability 7
Overall. This game is great, for only 10 bucks its a fun expirence and worth checking out, if you have a gba or a ds, Get this game. Castlevania Circle Of The Moon gets a 8.70 out of 10.

Fallout 3
Structure/Story: In fallout 3 you start out as a baby born in an underground nuclear containment facility you'll begin by picking your gender and changing facial features. After all that you jump forward in time to key events in your characters life in the vault. Finally your 19 years old and your dad up and leaves the vault for no apparent reason thus your character leaves to pursue his or her father. Structure/Story 9.7
Playability: The best part of this game. Every action has a reaction so each time you play you will find new side quests, different npc characters, and have an all around different experience. Top all that off with an in depth karma system that changes how people react to you and even changes some stuff said over the radio. The replay level is phenomenal and that is due to the distinct yet familiar level up system where you get a set amount of points you can put into your base skills. You also get these things called perks that drastically change the game play. Such as the cannibalism perk that allows you to devour the corpses that you killed for health and negative karma. Playability 10
Enjoyment: I found myself totally immersed in this game to a point where I forgot that I was only playing a game. Every time I play It feels like a whole new (enjoyable) experience. One minor gripe is that you can only reach level 20 but by that time you are pretty much a god so its nothing worth not getting the game over. Enjoyment 9.5
Overall: If you have a 360, Ps3 or a Pc and you dont have this game then you are not getting the most out of your gaming life. Fallout 3 gets a 10 out of 10.

Bluegrass?
I just got back from the glass city opry a monthly bluegrass show that my dad and friends run (I help out backstage) and I played alot of Castlevania Circle Of The Moon. I should have a review up sometime within the next 2 years. It was fun, I sat there hanging out with my friend Maggie and doing nothing special. Bluegrass bores me lol. I might put up my fallout 3 review up early (If your good)

Castlevania Symphony Of The Night.
Structure/story: You are Dracula's son "Alucard" (how creative *laughs*) A human loving vampire awoken from his eternal slumber when his father comes back after being killed by the vampire hunter "Richter". So the premise is that your in Dracula's castle and you must unlock new abilities through killing bosses and finding them in the world while working to find and kill your father in a huge open ended castle . Structure/story 9
Playability: Bottom line... This game is fun, Mixing rpg leveling up and finding new items with real time action and spell casting. One thing that did bother me is that sometimes youll find your self stuck in an enemies attack pattern, For example. I got stuck in between two guys and they just kept knocking me back and forth till I died but this is a reletavly small complaint because this game is freaking epic. This game has a great replay value due to the multiple endings and a new character you get to play as if you enter the name "Richter" as your starting name after youve beaten the main game. Playability: 9.5
Enjoyment: This game's enjoyment level is above and beyond any other sidescroller ive played I would find myself playing for 6 hours straight and not even noticing the time has passed. Its a huge game and deffinantly worth getting. Enjoyment: 10
Overall: If you have an xbox 360 or a ps3 hooked up to the internet, This game is a must buy for only 10 bucks I felt like the one ripping konami off. Alternativly if you have a psp you can get the dracula x chronicles and unlock Symphony Of The Night. Castlevania Symphony Of The Night gets a 9.75 out of 10.
