So, you know Adam Sessler, host of G4TV's X-Play? Yeah, he pretty much showed how amazing he is yet again, as if his rally against bigots on Xbox Live and his complete ownage of Final Fantasy fanboys wasn't enough. Watch this video in response to the hate mail they received from SONY FANBOYS (not 360 fanboys, PS3 fanboys) accusing them of being biased in their 5/5 review of Killzone 2 for the PS3.
He comes vicious at both 360 fanboys claiming Gears of War 2 is better because IGN gave it .1 point higher than Killzone 2, and PS3 fanboys who claim they weren't serious because they sounded upset that it was a good game.
I for one applaud Adam for saying what needs to be said in this day of console fanboyism on the internet. Bravo, good sir, bravo.
I really enjoyed reading through Tan's Top 50 list even though we have completely different gaming tastes. It was nice to see a large variety of systems and games that rarely show up on the stereotypical top games list, and I guess it has inspired me to make my own top games list. So here it is:

Welcome to Random Lists, this is an articles I'll do on occasion just for fun because I enjoy making lists. Today's list is my Top 9 canceled games, what does it take to get on the list? The title must have been offically announced in some capacity, the title must either have been anticipated, hyped, or just had a cool primise. Without further delay, here is my list of the top 9 canceled games...
It's been almost 3 months since I ended the Treasure Hunt Chronicles series for the 2008 season. And I honestly wasn't expecting to start the 2009 season so soon, but I feel it's time to get it going. And no, garage sale season has not started yet, I'm not that lucky, there's still more than a foot of snow on the ground. I haven't bought much since November, but I have received quite a lot of stuff through trading, and that will be the focus of this post. So without further ado, the stuff I've received the last couple months. Oh, and thanks to Dave, I've tweaked the formatting a little. It's probably nothing any one will notice, but the coding is much more simple for me.
Sonic 3D Blast, also known as Sonic 3D: Flicky's Island, was released for the Sega Genesis in November 1996. In this game, Dr. Robotnik has discovered birds called Flickys, these birds are from a different dimension and have the ability to travel to different areas through large rings. Robotnik decides to turn the Flickys into robots and use these abilities to help him find the Chaos Emeralds so he can use their power to conquer the world. Later Sonic arrives on Flicky Island and is shocked to find that all the Flickys have been turned into robots, he then decides that he must stop Robotnik and rescue the Flickys.

Was thinking about the NES today and figured I'd make a list of my favorites, so here they are in no particular order (since that would be much too difficult)
Legend of Zelda Contra Castlevania 3 Maniac Mansion Mega Man 3 Gun Smoke Super Mario Brothers 3 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Where to start.....oh yeah introduce the game.On September 29 1996,Nintendo launched its third home console called the Nintendo 64.Several amazing 3D launch titles were released like Super Mario 64,but fans were waiting for news of the release of one of their favourite franchises,Zelda.At E3 '97(Electronic Entertainment Expo)Nintendo released many screens of the aptly called Zelda 64,to an un-expecting crowd.Four months later it was given a name,and The Legend of Zelda:The Ocarina of Time was born. The games was one of the best selling games on the platform for quite some time.
Story- Almost every Zelda game has a similiar plot.How each game gets there is different every time.A great evil has come from the west to the land of Hyrule,his name is Ganondorf,the King of the Gerudo people.The King of Hyrule may be blind to his intentions,but Princess Zelda is not.The Princess had a dream of his intentions,a dream about a boy clad in green,who came from the woods.....The Great Deku Tree also knows the evil of this Ganondorf,he soon sends Link to meet with Princess Zelda at Hyrule Castle.Apon Link's arrival,Zelda informs him of her plan to get rid of him.Link goes out to do his part of the plan by collecting three spiritual stones,hidden by members of various races.After returning to the castle with the stones in hand,he spots a terrible sight! Princess Zelda and her guardian Impa fleeing the castle,and Ganondorf in pusuit,Link goes into the water to grab the item tossed in the water by Zelda,the Ocarina of Time! after a brief cutscene Link heads to the Temple of Time,where after placing the stones and pulling the Master Sword from its resting place,something went wrong! Ganondorf had planned this all along! After these events Link was forced to stay in the Sacred Realm for seven long years. He meets the Sage of the Temple of Time,and he explains everything to Link. Link must now undertake a journey to five temples and collect medallions to assist him when he fights Ganondorf,the sages will open a hole into the Sacred Realm to seal away the dark lord. After the epic battle vs Ganondorf,the princess sends you back in time where you will start another adventure with a mask...... 10/10
Controls- The controls were well executed,mapping items to the C-buttons,your shield with the R button,B button for your sword play,A button for talking and action time. As far as I am concerned Z button targeting made the game for me.If it wasn't for that feature,I can't imagine how well the action would've progressed without it. The controls were tight for a action game of this calibur. Where a few action games on the N64 were marred by sloppy controls,Nintendo absolutely nailed the controls for the maiden Zelda voyage on that platform. 10/10
Sound- Koji Kondo returns to the series to compose for the fourth time.Almost every thing sounds like the Zelda games of old,even the now legendary chime for finding secrets made its way to this game. All eight dungeons had their own very distinct music,my personal favorite being the music from the fist dungeon Inside the Great Deku Tree. From the time you first hear that chime,or walk out on Hyrule field, run some laps at Lon-Lon Ranch,you know it took alot of effort from the sound technicians that worked on the franchise. The most notable addition musically speaking, was the inclusion of playing songs on your Ocarina to take you to dungeons,sometimes far from the beaten path.From the first song you learn,Zelda's Lullaby to The Bolero of Fire each one had a clever use for you to figure out within the game. 10/10
Graphics- Ahhh,the graphics. Although the N64 only had so much horsepower to work with,Nintendo took all it had to offer and more. When you first boot up the game and walk out of your house in Kokiri Forest,you will notice just how much fun they had making the game.Within Kokiri Forest,glowing balls floated around in the air,Death Moutain erupts when you attempt to climb it. Ocarina even utilizes a real time system, to have the sun set and rise(within minutes...lol). Whether you gaze out over Lake Hylia, get lost in the Desert Wasteland,explore the well in Kakariko Village, you will realize that the game is massive. 10/10
Overall 40/40- This is one of the best action/adventure titles of all time, you owe it to yourself to play this game if you haven't done so already.Finding this game is quite easy,just check out your local pawn shops,or download it off the WiiShop Channel on your Wii for 1000 points.
Pier Solar and the Great Architect is an entirely new Japanese style RPG currently in development for the Sega Genesis by Watermelon Development, a group who is dedicated to breathing some new life into the long dead console by releasing some new and original content.

Welcome to my new gaming blog, here I'll share with you which games I'm playing, deals I've found, new finds for my collection, and my own personal reviews that I'll write for every game I beat!
Well, feel free to comment with any questions or well...comments you might have, thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you'll keep coming back once I have a bit more content.
God, it's been a while. Have you missed my Cynical Nature? My friends would tell you that I can be quite the Cynical Bastard, but in recent history I've moved to a new state and my Cynical Nature has been placed on the back burner as real issues consume my life. Life is good and all, and while I've been furloughed for four days I still have a job and that's fantastic.
Lucky for those of you that enjoy my Cynical Nature, I am writing this article. I mean there's plenty of things to be cynical about if you're American. For the sake of this article I'll keep it to limited to gaming. Let's jump into a few of those topics, after all it's been a while and some things have certainly happened.
There's a reason why I haven't done this in three weeks, you'll see why. Here's the release list for the last three weeks.
Playstation 3
Xbox 360
Nintendo Wii
• Lord of the Rings: Conquest
• Lord of the Rings: Conquest
• Deal Or No Deal • Fishing Master World Tour • Hotel for Dogs • Neighborhood Games • Paws and Claws Pet Resort
PSP
Nintendo DS
Playstation 2
NOTHING
PC • Cartoon Network Universe: Fusion Fall • Delta Force 10th Anniversary Collection • Lord of the Rings: Conquest • Mirror's Edge
• Bigfoot: Collision Course • Elebits: The Adventures of Kai & Zero • Hotel for Dogs • Inkheart • Jumble Madness • Lord of the Rings: Conquest • Moon • Paws and Claws Pampered Pets • Personal Trainer: Math
NOTHING
Very exciting for not doing it in such a long time, I know. First thing worth mentioning is Mirror's Edge on the PC. If you have a good gaming PC and haven't experienced the game yet, please do so. Mirror's Edge is easily one of the five best games of last year. Yeah, the game is technically "short", but it never feels short. The pacing and length feels perfect. After you beat the game, there's plenty more to do, such as speedruns on all the game's levels and trying to beat your friend's scores on the online leaderboards. Please, don't skip this game. Give EA your support by buying the game. Let them know that they are truly headed down the right direction with innovative, original titles like Mirror's Edge.
The other title worth talking about is Elebits: The Adventures of Kai and Zero for the DS. In case you don't know, I'm like one of two people that actually bought and enjoyed the first Elebits game on the Wii, so I was intrigued when I heard there was a DS version coming. A few weeks ago, I downloaded the demo to my DS from the Nintendo Channel on the Wii and played through it. I thought it was pretty fun, but repetitive and nowhere near as good as the original. What's different about the DS version is that it's structured more like an RPG/Adventure rather than a puzzle game. I'm not really sure what else to say about it. It's merely a decent game that's kinda fun. I certainly wouldn't rush out and buy it right now, but maybe when it hits $10 or so in a few months.
