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)
