Audi Famam Illius

In my over dose on 360 I completely forgot to review one of the top games for the Wii. Now I have heard so many different opinions on Brawl that I am tired of it. I will finally put an end to the, is it better then melee or not crap. Yes, YES IT IS! I do not care about the special air controlling in melee and how pros had more tactical choices. In the regular everyday world we don’t all play like pros. All we really do is spam with the same sheik attack and smash everyone with the hammer. So now that I’ve gotten that argument out of the way let me tell you all the pluses for brawl. Brawl decided to open up its character list extensively which is good and bad. Good because I can finally pwn Kirby with Snake. Bad because people are bitching about adding new characters. Truthfully I can live without megaman appearing in brawl (ZERO WHY!). Also let me congratulate Nintendo on completely screwing up online. Its not the game play that’s bad it’s the fact that the wii comes with so many freaking identification numbers I constantly have to remind my friends that I need their BRAWL friend code not their wii number or mac address. And then after I give my friends a good ass whooping I can only savor it with a prewritten message. Here is a suggestion Nintendo MICS. And not that gay wii speak crap. I want my own personal mic so I can tell the 5 year old I just beat that he should give up on playing brawl (just kidding of course). I know someone is going to tell me that Nintendo is keeping it family rated. To that I have to say have you ever read their online warning. Warning online play is UNRATED. Nintendo is just being lazy. Other then that Brawl is perfect and epic. Story mode though repetitive last and they didn't get rid of a thing only added. The best party fighting game I ever played. Be sure to plague the stage with mines for me. Ike ftw! I’ll be leaving my friend code soon.

Mirrors Edge

When a truly "revolutionary" game comes out I'm always a bit skeptical of how it got its distinction. Well I am here to burst Mirrors Edge revolutionary bubble. I am not here to say that mirrors edge didn't have a new feel, but past the first person abnormalty all the mechanics in the game have been done before. It was called Prince of Persia and it was a great game while Mirrors Edge felt incomplete to me. The puzzles are fun,except when you are running away from enemies (which is all the time). When you are running away you feel helpless and look for the game to give you at least a small indicator of what to do. But the game gives you nothing. The infamous B button which is suppose to show you where to go never really helps you much. Fighting in the game is completly pointless as most of the hostiles are stronger then you and have guns. This leaves you running and as I stated before you have no idea where to run too. It isn't the fast pace running game I thought it would be. There is greatness in the game, but a lot of the time it is bogged down by bad level design and the inability to recognize where a hard puzzle should be places and when the player should be given a straigth foward running obstacle. OH yea heres a reoccuring scenario. Running away doing a perfect jump and not realizing there was a red plank you had jump from. It makes no sense why a small plank makes the jump that much farther, but apparently its crucial in future revolutionist.

Kirby Air ride

If you think going pink is gay then you probably have never picked up kirby air ride. Kirby air ride which came out for gamecube takes your likable pink puff ball and allows him to ride around on air machines. Now when you first hear this you might be saying I will pass you up on this little kid offer. But looks are deceiving this game is ingeniously fun and when you have a family of devious gamers fighting over getting the strongest cars in city trail it is well worth the money. Now there are are some slight issues such as the pointlessness of power ups and lack of actual fun racing maps. But the fun that can come from playing city trail (with friends) rivals that of other multi player games. In short it a risk worth taking.

Wii Music

I know the way to the Wii promise land and trust me wii music has to be up there with its sports counter part. Wii music is the Wii's attempt to capitalize on the music game trend which has captivated us through the games rockband and guitar hero. However instead of focusing a players ability to respond to rapidly approaching nodes it focuses on the players creative ability. The amount of instruments given to the player is amazing and its enough to sate anyone's creative ability, but like any Wii game the only way you can play this without looking like a complete loser is by having friends. Yes Friends you know those people you talk too occasionally and expect to hang out with at times. The lack of wifi really takes away from the game, but the lack of mics in wifi kills wii in general. In the end if you know you don't have a group of loyal followers, I mean friends to play this with then you really shouldn't buy the game unless you want to feel depressed and alone after every jam sessions.

Mario Strikers (The First one)

Mario Strikers is a good example of a game with a simple concept applied perfectly. The mechanics in mario's try at soccer are so good that I found myself becoming more and more creative as I played. Usually when you have systems which give you multiple decisions its overly complicated and slow long term decisions. But in mario strikers the decisions are simple and quick. Should you pass in the air or the ground? Should you juke or walk a little back. Should slide kick or tackle? These decisions are constant and quick pace and make the game have a unique charm. Part two dismantles this system and is why part 2 sucks. Should you buy this game? Absolutely. The mechanics and fun in this game are so great that there is no excuse to miss out. Pay 10 dollars and enjoy.

Soul Calibur 3

Back before Soul calibur started sucking Star war's dick there was a great game called Soul Calibur 3. Of course Soul calibur three probably started the dick sucking trend by putting a system exclusive with each game. But forget all that, Soul calibur is the same fighting game we all love. Ah the vertical slice, the horizontal slice, the cheap grappling technique which throws someone off the edge. All the staples known in soul calibur 1 or 2 are still in 3. And with the addition of weapons wrecking your little brother has never been more fun. But the question is still raised is soul calibur 3 exactly the same as soul calibur 4. And truthfully yes it is. So why should anyone buy the game after having soul calibur 4. One word. Link....Link

Wii Does Not Suck

I hate it when people bash the Wii unnecessarily. The Wii is constantly labeled as a party system and even I won’t go that far. Wii was made as a true family system and as such if you buy it without having another person to play with your going to either find yourself disappointed or a 40 year old Zelda fan. So please those of you who dislike the Wii and everything it stands for go away with your constant trolling. You are the reason we are bombarded with the same generic third person and first person shooter crap. From there they give us the same Japanese rpgs and when that fails lets throw out a nice hack and slash with tons of blood and tits so that we can sate the generic teenage boy’s fantasy. Here is a message to video game companies. We refuse to be grouped under such idiotic conformities. You are going to need to innovate in some way or you will progressively see your industry slowly become undermine by the underground video gaming scene which has become more attractive then most next gen systems.
