These are not the Gems of Sonic

Posted : 1 month ago on 6 August 2008 08:47 (A review of Sonic Gems Collection)

Sonic Gems Collection had to be one of the most disappointing Sonic games I bought Next Gen is the worst on 360 but I am not talking about that. Sonic Gems Collection just makes me laugh as Sega do claim these are the gems of Sonic when they are not all. The only 2 decent games are Sonic CD, Sonic R and Sonic Fighters which was just OK the rest are just terrible Game Gear games.

Sonic CD quite good just to me I like the Mega Drive/Genesis versions better I find Sonic CD a bit confusing and annoying with the whole future and past etc.

Sonic R is good but does have some annoying music the only good track is Super Sonic Racing while the others are just bad and kind of weird to be on a Sonic Game. The graphics to this game are not bad but this game lacks on stages I think there was only about 5 so this game can be finished in about 30 mins maybe less.

Sonic The Fighters I thought this was just OK it is quite slow and the graphics are a bit of a mess but it is good for it's time. It does have some decent music put into the game like any fighting game it can be finished fairly quickly.

The rest are not that good all Game Gear games Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (different from the Mega Drive/Genesis version I hate the fact one hit and your dead even with rings it still happens.) Sonic Spinball - Sonic in pinball I hated this game when it first came out. Sonic The Hedgehog Triple Trouble - This game was not to bad, Sonic Drift 2 - This was possibly the best Game Gear game featured on this. The other 2 who cares about them Tails Skypatrol, Tails Adventures.

The most annoying thing is they give you 2 extra games Vectorman and Vectorman 2 games in my mind that are terrible and boring. While the Japanese version gets Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3 which I think it's pathetic that Sega just did not give us those games as well as they were some of the best games Sega made.

The extras also feature a screen where you can unlock and look at various different Sonic artwork

This is a bad Sonic collection and in my mind are not the gems the real gems are the ones featured on Sonic Mega Collection all the Mega Drive/Genesis games (not including Mr Robotnik Mean Bean Machine or Sonic Spinball). If you don't own Sonic Mega Collection that one is a must buy I would avoid this unless you want Sonic CD.

Goldie rip off of Bambi

Posted : 1 month ago on 6 August 2008 08:17 (A review of Goldie)

I cannot believe I still own this game well it's not really a game at all I got this when I was a kid back in 2000. Goldie is really just a cheap rip off of Disney's Bambi the exact same thing is in this game. I bet your wondering why do I not call this a game and why I think it is bad well it features a Jigsaw Puzzle, Colouring Book you and know even when I was younger I found this boring. This also features so cheap crappy cartoon film of Goldie aka Bambi. It was released by that cheap games company Midas not one of there games was good and this game I paid £7.99 for it what a rip off. I think the only difference is Goldie's mother survives I don't know I never watched it all it's on for about half-hour. I think it was only released in Europe and we always get rubbish budget titles. Well thats all I can really say not much about this.

WWE Survivor Series 2006 could of been better

Posted : 1 month ago on 3 August 2008 06:01 (A review of WWE: Survivor Series 2006)

WWE Survivor Series is one of my favorite WWE events I like the traditional Survivor Series elimination matches but on this event it just feels like squash matches and some could of gone a whole lot better. With this been the 20th Survivor Series there should of been better matches and a big celebration sadly not much to be happy about.

Traditional Survivor Series Match [Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Ron Simmons & Sgt. Slaughter vs. Kenny, Johnny, Nicky & Mikey]

To be honest I am not a fan of Ric Flair the only guy I did like in this match was Ron Simmons cause to me he's entertaining and was great back in the APA with JBL. The match is not bad but it just puts me off with the Spirit Squad been in the match as that team just sucked. So don't hate on me with me not been a fan of Ric Flair.

United States Championship Match [Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero]

The build up to this match was quite good and the match was fairly decent and Chavo does improve during the match but for me it's not one match that I could keep attention to. I also got to say I can't no longer watch a Chris Benoit match after knowing he killed his Wife and Child which makes me sick.

Women's Championship Match [Lita vs. Mickie James]

I like Lita but she got nothing but disrespected I know shes done bad things but fans calling a hoe is just wrong after everything she did in WWE. This is her final WWE event and match before she retired like Trish Stratus did back at Unforgiven 2006. Trish got to leave with the title but sadly for Lita she loses it and just gets a whole load of disrespect. You got Cryme Tyme selling some of Lita's personal stuff the thing was a little funny just I would of liked to have seen Lita got the respect she deserves. As for the match Mickie James and Lita do both put on a good match.

Traditional Survivor Series match [D-Generation X, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy & CM Punk vs. Randy Orton, Edge, Johnny Nitro, Gregory Helms & Mike Knox]

This match I should say is just like a squash match I like Team D-X and Team Rated RKO but some of this match was pathetic. Mike Knox is the first one out only been in the match for 5 seconds before Shawn Michaels hits a Sweet Chin Music on Knox then he's out. I am going to skip to the end Rated RKO get dominated leaving none of Team D-X to get eliminated I think Randy Orton and Edge should of at least had a chance. The Hardys do offer some great work during the match which I do think they are one of the greatest teams in WWE any of there matches or involved in are enjoyable.

First Blood Match [Undertaker vs. Mr. Kennedy]

Mr Kennedy is on a losing streak on the PPV's in 2006 wasn't he well he lost at No Mercy a month before this event and lost a month after in the fantastic Last Ride Match at Armageddon 2006. Mr Kennedy makes Under bleed first but then Mr Kennedy gets a hell of a beating. This match is enjoyable both Undertaker and Kennedy do work well together in the match but I recommend checking out the match from Armageddon 2006 it is the better match.

Traditional Survivor Series Match [John Cena, Kane, Bobby Lashley, Rob Van Dam & Sabu vs. Big Show, Umaga, Finlay, MVP & Test]

We all knew the out come of this match Cena Team was going to win well Umaga gets himself eliminated he gets the monitors and starts hitting other wrestlers I think it was Sabu and RVD I didn't pay much attention. The best part of the match for me was Test big boot to RVD's face it just looked fantastic. The most annoying though about this match is the likes of RVD, Sabu, Kane just teaming up with Cena to me it's just a weird team. Sabu hardly gets a chance if this was the old ECW this guy would take more damage but no gets eliminated after a chokeslam from the Big Show if it was the old ECW he would of kicked out of it. Then we get Bobby Lashley I hate him he's just like a bad version of Brock Lesnar (I like Brock Lesnar by the way) which picks up the win with Cena.

World Heavyweight Championship Match [King Booker vs. Batista]

The promo bit before the match was put together well and I did enjoy this match until the end. King Booker gets a lot of the offence on Batista but the ending has King Booker having the title and trying to hit Batista he dodges out of the way Batista gets the title and hits Booker with it and theres a new champion.

DVD Extras

Todd Grisham interviews Lita after her match - This is a good extra Lita talks about how she hated been disrespected by the fans and what happened. She also states about if she will return which she does say never say never. This is a good segment which I do wish Lita will return in the future Lita and Trish are the best WWE Women in WWE because they would wrestle.

Mr. McMahon's Kiss My Ass Cartoon - This was featured on wwe.com it's not bad its just weird. If you have not seen it look for it as it will be on the internet somewhere maybe still on wwe.com

Main Event of Survivor Series '87 [Hulk Hogan, Bam Bam Bigelow, Paul Orndorff, Ken Patera & Don Muraco vs. Andre the Giant, Rick Rude, One Man Gang, Butch Reed & King Kong Bundy] - This match features JBL and Michael Coal doing commentary and to be honest I hate 80's wrestling I like it back from 1997 up to now.

Overall: I think Survivor Series 2006 is a bit disappointing as I still find 2001 and 2002 are highly the best. The matches on this just could of been great and some just felt like a pure let down. But I will tell you the best matches I thought of this event so here we go Undertaker VS Kennedy, Team Rated RKO VS Team D-X, King Booker VS Batista, Mickie James VS Lita was quite good. WWE did improve by adding an extra match but to be honest I would of liked to have seen some of Kennedy's segments on The Undertaker as they were great. Something I do enjoy is JBL's commentary some of the stuff he comes up with is funny which makes it entertaining and enjoyable to watch. If you do collect WWE DVD's like me it is worth adding to the collection.

How is this entertaining

Posted : 1 month, 1 week ago on 28 July 2008 12:32 (A review of Playboy: Inside the Playboy Mansion)

I watched this program and it is nothing but completely boring Hugh M. Hefner in my mind is a sick old man with young women to me it's just wrong he should be dating women at his own age. The guy is old enough to be the girls fathers. But the women really just want him for his cash the show is about the girls and there lifes and what Hugh does for them. These girls we know there body is fake really I don't find this entertaining.

Broken all over

Posted : 1 month, 2 weeks ago on 23 July 2008 10:38 (A review of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing)

I can say I have played a whole lot of bad games Action 52, Cheetahmen 2, Bebe's Kids they were bad and this is just terrible. Big Rigs does claim so much as police cars chasing you as by looking at the cover along with other cars on the road. This game is a pack of lies really I have never seen anything so bad.

The game has no intro it just takes you to the main screen it does let you chose from 4 trucks does it matter which one you pick not really. The game has 5 tracks oh I am sorry 4 the other makes the game crash not getting off to a good start are we. Well it just never gets any better so your about to start the race and my opponent is doing nothing just stuck there wheres the fun none at all. So now I am playing the game I find no other cars in the game and I am going throw buildings, bridges and even flying in the air. Why is there a clock there you could take the whole day and win if you want there is no point it does not even fit in the box they made for the clock. The Rig has lights which are not even attached to it. When I press Tab I can play as my opponent and if I press it again the game crashes. The game has no sound effects the truck can turn fast and even spin fast it can. I played this and got no music I know it features music. So once your finished you get the famous You're Winner which then sends you back to the main screen.

The graphics are horrible it is like an early PS1 game even worse then what most budget companies have on offer. As for the patch Stellar Stone made it makes no difference it was still the same. This game was clearly not tested and the people who created it clearly do not know what they were doing it look at the credits it only names about 8 or 9 people. It is a shock to even find that this was released which it never made a release here but I still got to play it. Check it out if you want to see how bad it really is if not then stay away and watch the video with Alex Navarro who used to work for Gamespot he does not even have to say anything at all you can see it in his face how bad it is.

The Biggest WWE event of the year

Posted : 1 month, 2 weeks ago on 19 July 2008 08:39 (A review of WWE WrestleMania 24)

WrestleMania 24 was at Citrus Bowl in Orlando Florida now the arena was awesome it was out doors watch just made it so great during matches you notice it get from light to dark which just adds a more awesome effect.

The matches on the DVD are better then what previous WrestleMania's had on offer such as been disappointed with at Mania's like 23 and 22. This one just has better quality matches and some which were just OK.

Now lets get on with the matches.

Belfast Brawl
Finlay vs. JBL
This was a good way to start of an event like WrestleMania I found it enjoyable both Finlay and JBL are good wrestlers. Trash Cans and such are used in the match which makes it better to me as I like Hardcore wrestling. As for the winner of the match I was happy. (7/10)

Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Chris Jericho vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. John Morrison vs. Carlito vs. CM Punk vs. MVP vs. Mr Kennedy
This was such a good match not the best WrestleMania 21 still has the best Money in the Bank Ladder match in my opinion. Shelton Benjamin offers some great movies during the match as well as Jericho and CM Punk. I was impressed with John Morrison doing a moonsalt from the top with a ladder hitting the rest of the opponents this is one thing Morrison is great at Ladder Matches. This is highly enjoyable to any wrestling fan. (9/10)

Battle for Brand Supremacy
Batista vs. Umaga
As for this match I did not like it William Regal says Umanga when it is Umaga thats not whats bad about it though. It just offers the same stuff Batista delivers I don't mind Batista or even Umaga but I think Umaga should of at least got the win this year. (5/10)

ECW Championship Match
Chavo Guerrero (Champion) vs. Kane
A very short match lasts or 8 to 12 seconds a chokeslam to Chavo and thats it he is out this type of match is just not the place for WrestleMania and it also feels pointless Joey Styles and Tazz doing Commentary on the match. (1/10)

Career Threatening Match
Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
If you want a classic match with 2 great wrestlers then this is one Ric Flair VS Shawn Michaels. I have to admit I am not a fan of Ric Flair I never have been but he does offer a good match and yes it was sad the ending. (8/10)

Playboy Bunnymania Lumberjack Match
Maria & Ashley vs. Beth Phoenix & Melina
I did not even watch this match because Snoop Dogg was featured in it and it features divas I don't care about.

WWE Championship Triple Threat Match
Randy Orton (Champion) vs. John Cena vs. Triple H
John Cena has headlined the last 2 WrestleMania's and finally Randy Orton headlines it been the Champion I like Triple H and Orton and dislike Cena but this match was good but it just finishes in my mind with a cheap shot but still happy that Orton came out on top because he should of. I had to also say that Cena did do well in the match and did offer some different moves. (8.5/10)

The Biggest vs. The Best
Big Show vs. Floyd "Money" Mayweather
We all knew who was going to win this match Floyd Mayweather I wanted Big Show to win and was this match fair no it was not. Floyd could not beat big show with his hands he had to use Brass Knucks which to me thats a cheap shot. Big Show does well during the match and overall it was good. I just wish I was at WrestleMania as when Mayweather was coming to the ring money was coming down. (7/10)

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Edge (Champion) vs. The Undertaker
To me this was match of the night not only did Edge prove he was worthy of been in the main event but he also showed how good he could compete with The Undertaker. Edge gets out of many of Undertaker's moves and Undertaker shows shows his best side during the match. Overall this is exciting and it does not even matter if you hate Edge or Undertaker you got to respect the effort of these 2 wrestlers during the match. The promo before the match started was just good which no other wrestling company can make promos better then WWE it really gets you into look forward to the match. The Undertaker is now 16-0 we knew he would win. (9.5/10)

The DVD also features 2 extras yeah only 2 I would not class them as extras really maybe if it showed some backstage footage, even promos, interviews with the winners and no none of that is here on this 3 disc set.

The hall of fame is OK it's not something I am interested in but The Rock's speech is worth watching it was funny and what Rock said to John Cena yeah he got what was coming to him. Ric Flair also tells us about many moments.

As for what else is included is the 24 man other the top Battle Royle for a match for the ECW Championship this match was featured on wwe.com which was good I won't go into detail with that because you know Kane got the ECW Championship title match on WrestleMania.

So the Disc set up this year has changed on Disc 1 has WrestleMania 24 which ends off after the WWE Championship match. It continues on Disc 2 with Mayweather VS Big Show and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match. After WrestleMania ends on Disc 2 comes the first part of the WWE Hall of Fame 2008. On Disc 3 is the final part of Hall of Fame 2008 with the 24-man Battle Royle. This is WrestleMania which without any good extras it really makes the DVD feel rushed and that WWE put no effort in at all they really do need to put more extras in the releases. This DVD is a must buy and as I said it is a whole lot better then WrestleMania 22 and 23 for WWE collectors this a must have in your collection.

My thoughts on From Dusk till Dawn

Posted : 2 months ago on 8 July 2008 09:10 (A review of From Dusk Till Dawn)

I had this movie on DVD for ages I just never watched it until a few days ago I never thought how good this movie was going to be but I did enjoy it. Quentin Tarantino plays the best part how friendly he can be then all of a sudden he's crazy it's just a shame he's not in the movie all the way. George Clooney he was decent but Quentin should of been the main character. From the start it just seems like Quentin's usual movies then like half way zombies come in it really kind of make it more interesting and just some parts are too funny.

I don't even think I need to explain what this movie is about it is a popular movie and loads of people have seen it. I thought it was great.

This game is boring

Posted : 2 months ago on 8 July 2008 08:55 (A review of Arcade Classics)

Recently I took a look at Arcade Classics because I didn't really know what was featured on this game. In 1996 came this very game which does feature only 3 games and these are Centipede, Missile Command, Pong (which is included as a bonus yes that is the best they can do). As for these there all Atari games so why wasn't the game called Atari Arcade Classics. The main issue with this game is that the graphics and sound is the same so you don't get any remixed versions just ports from the Atari 2600. I don't really need to go into that much detail of these games cause we have seen them before. I own the Atari 2600 and believe me there was better games like Food Fight for instance that was a classic.

This is a poor game with only 3 games on here when you could of got more I mean look at the Mega Games also released on Genesis/Mega Drive at least one of them had 10 games in 1. If you see this game it is worth a miss the only good thing to say about it is the intro screen.

Weird Game Cover

Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago on 18 June 2008 04:38 (A review of Phalanx)

Phalanx is your average space shooter on the SNES but it has some of the most weird box covers I have ever seen and why false advertising. The old guy with the Banjo does not even feature in the game why this happened I read somewhere that the developers added the man to attract customers as many space shooters where on SNES at that time. The game is OK but to me it's just pretty much the same as most space shooters and I for one am not a big fan of this type of genre.

Noah in Wolfenstein 3D

Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago on 14 June 2008 03:35 (A review of Super Noah's Ark 3D)

This was a bible game released by Wisdom Tree which Nintendo never licensed the game so Wisdom Tree never had any games licensed games by Nintendo at all so they are committing a sin aren't they well I think they are. Now about this game Super Noah's Ark 3D this is just a copy of Wolfenstein 3D instead you play as Noah and animals attack you, what you got to do is knock out the animals with food (yes food can knock out animals now lol) The game is a mess I played it with an emulator and the controls just suck everything about this is bad and the music is awful. I can't explain this anymore I will give this game a 1/10 trust me it is that bad. I only played this just to see what it is like so I don't follow the bible or go to church.
