GUILTY GEAR XX

A.K.A "Guilty Gear X2", a very fine fighting (beat 'em up) game I enjoy very much that I used the picture of the namesake character "Frederick a.k.a "Sol Badguy"" and placed his name under my user name (replacing bad with good) in both CBR & Toonzone forums.

This game is a sequel for two previous games "Guilty Gear 1998" & "Guilty Gear X", the story is about gears & humans living in the same world, the Gears are powerful beings created by humans and are incredibly powerful, one of the Gears is named "That Man", this gear caused a holy war between humans & Gears that lasted for over a 100 year now this Gear regrets what he has done.

Some humans formed the "Holy Knights", an organization meant to battle Gears during the holy war between Humans & Gears, this organization was disbanded and after 5 years of being disbanded its second leader; a French kid now 21 years old "Ky Kiske" joined the "International Police Force".

Ky holds one of the sacred weapons of the "Holy Knights" which allows him to control lightining, this weapon and other weapons were created by "Order Sol", the name "Sol Badguy" used to be known as when he was in the organization of the "Holy Knights", this police officer is a rival of Sol and he is annoyed by the fact that Sol doesn't use his full strength in fighting.

"Sol Badguy" is a bounty hunter & a prototype gear who sworn to destroy gears, he allows a humanoid gear "Dizzy" to live because she is of no threat to humans.

TONY HAWK PRO SKATERS

This is one of my all time favorite games either from Activision releases or generally, I first played the first game of this series in my cousins house when it was new and really enjoyed it so later I bought it for the PS1, the best fun you can have if you like to skateboard but afraid of performing stunts in reality.

Since the title holds the name of "Tony Hawk" then one has to know that Tony is the first character in the selectable list, for those who don't know this great dude search for him on the internet or watch sports channels.

You may select four other characters in the PS1 games, there are several kinds of boards and the types of wheels you can skate on. The more missions you complete/goals you achieve/Scores you gain the more areas you can unlock, but some areas need medals to be unlocked with.

Give any game in this series a shot and you definitely won't regret it, at least you hopefully won't regret this action (I love "PS2 Spider-Man 3" and I love "Batman & Robin movie", but I still love good things too much more than I like the bad stuff)

SPIDER-MAN 3: PS2/Nintendo Wii

Over a year has passed since the game was released and the players gave most of their opinions on the game, the most noticable and published opinions indicate that the release of this version of the game was too soon because it is a bland mix of bad visuals and horrible game play, should they waited at least a few more months they could have released a better game instead of publishing a half-baked game.

The story in short has its coheision, it isn't that weak, the weak spots in this game plot is the role of Sandman in the final stage; how he got convinced to it by Venom to destroy Spider-Man and the fact that Harry jumped from the hospital after seeing spidey fight's Sandman remembering that Peter is Spider-Man ignoring that he wanted to kill him.

Short version of the story: [Spider-Man saves people from Carlyles burning building, later he sings M.J home after a date in Central Park then fight's Harry. In his apartment Peter is in his spidey duds unmasked on his bed and the symbiote get's all over him getting him hanging upside down on a building and battles some of the Apokalypse gang then he goes to Dr. Connors to examine the suit for him but seeing he became the Lizard, Spider-Man chases the Lizard to the sewers and on his way he saves some of his victims. In the sewers Spider-Man chases the Lizard and the Lizard escape after a fight. Spider-Man finds Kraven trying to kill the Lizard but he fights him and cages him then goes to Dr. Connors who transforms himself into a mega lizard, the Lizard is forced to hit the active generators to electrocute himself and spidey throws him on a subway trail to finish the job but gets frightened about what he did then takes Connors to the hospital.

Spider-Man goes to the Bugle and gets a job of photographing a Vampire, at night Spidey goes to ESU where the vamp is spotted and takes a picture of him then sends the picture to the Bugle. A later time Spider-Man checks on Dr. Connors in the hospital then goes back to the "Daily Bugle" and finds the "Mad Bomber" capturing Jonah, Spider-Man defeats the bomber and saves Jonah Jameson.

Before fighting the Sandman, Peter takes images of himself scaring a tourist while web-swinging carrying him then he goes to defeat Eddie Brock as an imposter Spider-Man and cause him to get fired.] It'll take too long to type the rest of the story so I stopped at this point.

The graphix looks like the belong to a cheap PC game, even the graphix of the PS1 original games are better than this one.

The combat style is weak compared to Ultimate Spider-Man & Spider-Man 2 (these 2 games has great combat style) and it is too linear.

Side missions are good, at first I liked to deliver delicious fruit pies but that mission became too dull over the time so I dropped it.

the looks of the people to be rescued are no more than three, but that doesn't actually bother me.

Over all rating: 7/10

STREET FIGHTER FUN

Street Fighter games are some of the best fighting games since the dawn of VideoGames, I'm cutting the first game out because it is soo boring.

RESIDENT EVIL 2

One of my all time favorite games, the best Resident Evil game since the beginning of making this series with Code Veronica on the same level with it.

I have 3 versions of it:

1. PS1 version: This is the only one I didn't download, and it's the only good one

2. N64 version: I have this game on emulator, the problems are that I must reset the emulator so the picture would be more than just half the screen, the movies are available in sound only, the sounds get scratchy within the game, and when the volume goes mute this means when the camera angle will move the game will get jammed

3. The PC version: It works perfectly fine as long as you don't save in it, when I save the save file immediately gets broken and the game shuts down forcing me to install it once more so I can't play game B and meet Mr.X (I already said I downloaded the PC version)

Thinking more about the two scenario's: A & B, and the relativity of them to the characters I find it more passable to believe senario A happens for Claire and Scenario B happens to Leon, the more I play the bigger sense I find in my thought.

Leon A & Claire B:

1. Sherry gets lost from Claire but isn't found by her father to bed the embrio in his kid

2. Annete tells a spy on the company the origin of the monster hunting the sewers and how her husband worked on the monsters engine

3. When Claire goes to the telefrik Leon used it doesn't have holes in it, Claires go after Leon departures using it and Mr. Birkin pierces the top of it

4. Claire leaves Sherry in the elevator to Umbrella alone when the monster might strike at her (Sherry) when she's alone

5. Ada falls a pretty high distance then shows up to hand Claire a rocket launcher (she lives, finds a rocket launcher and hands it to a stranger?)

Claire A & Leon B:

1. In the first cutscene Leon is on the side of the car closer to the police station

2. It is Claire who actually finds Mr. Kendo since he was supposed to help her counterpart in the cancelled version of the game (Marvin I can understand meeting Claire though he was meant to help Leon in the cancelled version)

3. It makes more sense to see Brian Irons fed with the embrio before exposing his true self to Claire

4. Still don't get it, but telling someone who is trying to save your kid from her father the reason why the father is hunting her down is more reasonable than telling the enemy.

5. Ada still gets fatally injured but survives, at least it makes more sense to her giving Leon the R.Launcher and meeting him later in "Resident Evil 4"

The game is very well balanced between monsters and puzzles.

I love the arrange mode (In scenario A you only need the R.Launcher twice when fighting William Birkin, in scenario B there is a heavier need for the rocket launcher)

I used to look at the game with 'uggh' at first, but it grew on me more than the current art style of "John Romita jr". This game was and still is a perfect 5 stars game.

Wonder how the remake for the "Nintendo Wii" is going to be like, sure it will have better graphics but will it stay great?

GRAND THEFT AUTO ADVANCE

This is what the cartridge looks like. The only Grand Theft Auto game I played, really wanted to play that one made for the PS1 but never had the opppurtunity.


An awesome game, very good plot and nicely executed levels except one which I'll talk about in some time.



[Mike is a rookie gangster but a handy muscle-man (not Power-Man; he's nothing like Luke Cage), his partner Vinnie prepairs some stuff so they can flee the country but Vinnie dies in a bombed car. Looking for clues to who killed his partner to have his vengeance he works under employment of several people:



1. 8-Ball: The car bombs expert

2. Jonnie: A fat Bar-Tender who gets killed b4 Mike goes to battle King Courtney

3. King Courtney: Jamaican gang leader

4. Cisco: Directed by King Courtney to kill this Columbian guy, Mike believes his target and works for him

5. Asuka: A slutty leader of the Yakuza Mike works for starting with saving her niece he kidnapped

Mike is a real fool to believe in these many and work with them.



After leaving Asuka Mike finally finds the man he was looking for in a long time: His old Partner Vinnie himself. Mike kills Vinnie and gets the $10,000 he had.



Mike kills King Courtney and an army of his gangsters, then fleds Vice City to Columbia leaving the gangsters wanting him behind.]



The missionss are good to play except one to kill some thugs of King Courtney before heading to his house and kill him, you only have 4 minutes to play that stage when you require 4:30 minutes, what lousiness.

9.5/10

GBA BATMAN

There are 3 BATMAN games for the GBA console:





*BATMAN: THE RISE OF ZEN TSU





Gmepad Control: A=Jump, B=Attack, L=Select Projectile, R=Use Projectile. 4 stars



*BATMAN VENGEANCE


(The designs for the characters in these 2 video games are based on their design in the Animated Series) Rise of Zen Tsu feels more advanced in music, Vengeance music feels like that of GBC so I give it 3.5 stars

*BATMAN BEGINS (based on the 2005 movie)
This one is the best Batman videogame on this console, I'm not a big fan of EA games designs but I loved this game they built.
5 stars

CASTLEVANIA: ARIA OF SORROWS

You know this game? Good.

You love this game? Great.

You don't know about it? I'm so sorry to hear about that, you don't know what you're missing.

OK kiddies and newbies, to the front of the class.

As a fan of Castlevania; I strongly advise you to play this game, it is one of the greatest creations in the history of Video Games.

Synopsis: "It is the year 2035 a.d, exchange student Soma Cruz heads with his friend "Mina Hakuba, the daughter of a shrine priest" in Japan to the shrine she usually goes to, this time they entered the area they least expected; "the lunar eclipse", the location where the real castle of Dracula is sealed in. Soma meats some people and gain alliance with, what a certain agent "Genya Arikado" sees how Soma absorbed a soul of one of the monsters which attacked him he suspected a secret within the young man, a very dark secret Soma Cruz must uncover by himself to save himself and his friends"

Most of the 2D Castlevania video games are played by characters with linear attacks, either by a vampire slaying whip or a spear, you need heart emblems you can collect to recharge your magic power.

This game is different in the following points:

1. You can change your weapon and body armor

2. You gain upgrades hidden you need to release to use them

3. You can control spirits of the monsters you defeat to use for your own good

4. Your MP recharges automatically but slowly, you can still take hearts to quicken up the MP increase

5. Finish the game and open a new saving file typing "Julius" to play with "Julius Belmont" the vampire hunter

6. Finish the game the good ending and you'll unlock "Boss Rush Mode" & "Sound Test", the soundtracks are very catchy and highly pleasing

. So far this is my favorite Castlevania game; I rate it with a perfect 10.

. If you can't find it solo then buy the Castlevania Double pack, it is there with a previous Castlevania game.

. The sequel to this game "Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrows" is available for the Nintendo DS, I strongly recommend it

GAMEBOY ADVANCE

Some people consider this handheld console something retard or looks bad, but this is the first handheld console to show superiority to the SNES in so many games, I played some of the best games on this console so I don't care what some might say bad about it.

I'm one of those who like Atari classic series, I was born when they were new and I still enjoy them, so it isn't surprising to see someone like this enjoying Gameboy Advance and calling it great fun.

If someone consider this a bad console he/she should start playing the colorless classic version; brick sized Gameboy using 4 batteries at once with a green screen or the improved minimized version using 2 of the smaller sized batteries "Gameboy Pocket"

If you just so happen to like Team Fortress 2 and Soulja Boy, then this video should make you feel all "squishy" inside. Great video, enjoy. Oh and as for me, I am still a victim of "Rock Band-itis," and am just getting over it. Hopefully I'll have a chance to play some of those games that were ignored from last year's great ending. Got Eternal Sonata, RE4: Wii Edition, Ace Combat 6 or maybe I'll try to rekindle my love for the Nintendo DS by playing some Advance Wars: Days of Ruin. God, I love being a gamer!

Sorry for the absence, it's hard juggling an internship, and whatever time I have free is Rock Band time (man that game is horribly addictive).

Super Mario Mod Shows Gamers True Potential

There are several mods for games out there. Some add new sprites and music, others a take a classic game and add a creative twist to it. While reading up on news at Kotaku, I noticed this video and I though it was well worth mentioning here. I am always amazed by the creativity and knowledge in computer coding that some of todays "hackers" have and it just makes me jealous. The talent that some people have, some without even taking a class in programming, and just their ability to read series' of coding is astounding. So here is a pretty cool video that someone made adding Halo weapons and enemies to a Super Mario background.

SS Timeline: Foot In Mouth Edition

Saturday Jan. 12, 2008
11:28 a.m. -

Rock Band is still on my list of games I want to buy, but until I really get a strong reason to keep playing it past the first two months, I don't think it'll become a part of the SS gaming family. - SS

Approximately 8:37 p.m. - A copy of Rock Band for the Xbox 360 was purchased and brought to the SS household. I didn't buy it, my roommate did. Either way, it comes home with me.

Sunday Jan. 12, 2008
12:15 a.m. - We have been playing Rock Band non-stop since we opened the box. I must admit that this game is a whole lot more fun than Guitar Hero due to its multi-player.

2:30 p.m. - I have decided that I want to play guitar and sing at the same time, so I construct a make-shift microphone stand out of PVC piping and loads of duct tape. It's not glamorous, but it works.

5:00 p.m. - Rock Band is transported to [my best friend] Matt's house and the fun from the night before continues. We even go as far as to buy a few songs from the Xbox Live Marketplace. This is getting serious.

Monday Jan. 14, 2008
All Day - I have the song Maps by the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs stuck in my head, and I won't be satisfied til I play it. And so ... the 360 gets turned on again. Some time around 6:00 p.m., Matt shows up to take on his role as the band's drummer and we play our hearts out.

Tuesday Jan. 15, 2008
11:15 a.m. - Fourth day in a row that Rock Band as been played. Last three nights have been Rock Band with friends. Since the game has become a routine, me playing bass guitar, my buddy Joel on the lead guitar, Matt on drums and my roommate, Patty, singing lead vocals, I figured it's time to try and memorize a song.

1:00 p.m. - I have successfully memorized Maps on hard with the bass guitar. I have come to the conclusion that the game is worth every penny, (even though I didn't buy it) and that this might be the most fun I have had playing a game since Halo 3's release. I laugh as I look back and remember how I thought that I, a shooter fan, would never like a music game, but I was proven wrong. And as a gamer, there's truly nothing wrong with that.

Turn The Volume Up To 11

Rock Band has been out for about two months now, and aside from a few hours playing drums at a local electronics store, I haven't really had the chance to really get the whole experience. I was a fan of earlier adaptations of music games such as, Karaoke Revolution and Guitar Hero, so the idea of a additional instrument was always appealing. Last night, my best friend, Mrs. SS and I, went to another close friends house and started a band. Well not really, we just played songs, but it felt like we had started a band.

As usual, I was given the microphone because I was the only one with the stones to sing, and my two other friends "rocked" the guitar and drums (which may I add hitting the kick pedal while drumming is utterly impossible for me). To make the mood fun, I decided to go all out on each performance and basically mimic Jim Carrey's The Cable Guy performance throughout each song. It was fun and I was able to get Mrs. SS to reconsider buying Rock Band, but she shot me down when she reminded me of how often I play Guitar Hero 2, which is never.

Rock Band is still on my list of games I want to buy, but until I really get a strong reason to keep playing it past the first two months, I don't think it'll become a part of the SS gaming family.

Gamers Get Their Very Own YouTube

Tired of YouTube.com, need a new place to flaunt your gaming achievements? Well, try out WeGame.com! This new site, still in it's beta phase, allows users to upload their video (as long as they are game-related) much like YouTube. What this site offers that YouTube doesn't is unknown, and it might just be just another YouTube knock-off, but I'll mention it because it's a place for gamers to post their gaming videos and that's what SS likes to report.

Multitasking Is Always Fun

So, if you haven't noticed, I've been slacking on updating the site and I apologize. I just recently started an internship at an Orlando news publication, and I have been pretty much occupied trying to impress the suits there by pumping out work. I just wanted to give you guys the heads up and say that although I may miss a day here or there, I will still keep up on gaming news and share my feelings when "sharing's" due.

Speak to you guys later and happy gaming!

Games We Look Forward To In 2008

The year 2007 has come and gone, and so has it's many game titles. Although the year is over, we can say that 2007 was a great year for video games. With titles such as Halo 3, BioShock, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, God of War 2 and Rock Band, what was there to be upset about? Sure we had some slip-ups with Lair, Kane & Lynch and Jericho, but overall this year was pretty smooth.

But let's not dwell in the past. It's a new year and new games should be on the way. So, follow the jump for a few titles that we believe will be interesting to check out in 2008.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - Released March 11, 2008
There are a few games that I consider actual "keepers," games that I believe are fully worth the price tag, and 2006's Rainbow Six Vegas is one of them. And now that Ubisoft has announced a sequel that has a planned co-op mode, you can imagine how excited I am.


Fable 2 - Released Q3 2008
Even though Fable's game length fell a bit short, the impression it left was everlasting. Lucky for us fans, Lionhead Studios has decided that an even more complex and long sequel was needed and are in development of it now. Hope it still follows the formula the first Fable introduced because it showed me that it's always more fun to be bad than good.

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty - Released February 26, 2008
If you're sick and tired of WWII shooters or a die-hard fan of them, be sure to take a peek at Codemasters unique spin on the war in Turning Point: Fall of Liberty. Based in an alternate reality where Nazi forces have invaded and began occupation of US cities, you take control of Dan Carson - construction worker turned freedom fighter - and his attempt to take back the US. Something that has us excited is that Codemasters stated that the game will utilize not-completed Nazi technology and show what might have been if history turned sour.

Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena - Released TBA 2008
The original of this adventure, Escape from Butcher Bay, was one of the diamond-in-the-rough type of finds. I remember my roommate renting it because he liked the Riddick movies and I decided I'd give it a try as well. The game introduced a fresh look to stealth FPS gameplay, and a smooth storyline that I was amazed this was a spin-off movie game. So to hear that Starbreeze Studios has a remake of that adventure with new added content and next-gen graphics, I can only say that I'm happy to be a gamer.

Other honorable mentions: Devil May Cry 4, Burnout Paradise, Turok, Frontlines: Fuel of War, Army of Two, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

So there you go, a few games that might hit it big this year. I'll keep my fingers crossed for another delivery like 2007, and maybe a lucky lottery ticket for the cash to buy them.

A New Year Means New Games

Happy New Year! I'm finally back home from a vacation in my home town, visiting friends and getting inebriated on anything and everything. So, I received some late Xmas presents that made me all warm inside. My brother came through like a promiscuous hillbilly locked in a petting zoo during mating season (too much?) when he got me a nice hefty Best Buy gift card and Call of Duty 4 for the Xbox 360. I had previously played the title and it was just amazing, but my bank account didn't agree with me at the time. Also, Mrs. Select Start is happy because our best friends got us the Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action game, which Mrs. SS is is a fan of the board game version. And then to round off, GameFly sent me Super Mario Galaxy in the mail and I'll finally get the chance to play it comfortably now that I caught up on most of 2007s other major titles.

As for my New Year's Resolution, it was to find a way to keep my dog protected from the bobcat-sized possum that roams our neighborhood before it eats him. When I say "bobcat-sized" I am not exaggerating, I am actually contemplating on searching the web for small, economical, household electrical fences to fry the bastard. Hmm, I wonder if I could use the gift card on that, does Best Buy sell high-voltage fencing, have they ever? I'll probably just use it to venture into the PC gaming world since I have been wanting to try out Company of Heroes or World in Conflict. Oh well, but I bet that fence thing would have been pretty neat when that rat just meandered into it. Would've been like squeak, ZAP, crackle, thud, sizzle then ding, HOORAY!
