Broken all over

Posted : 15 years, 9 months ago on 24 July 2008 03:38 (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 : 15 years, 9 months ago on 20 July 2008 01:39 (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 : 15 years, 9 months ago on 9 July 2008 02:10 (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 : 15 years, 9 months ago on 9 July 2008 01:55 (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 : 15 years, 10 months ago on 18 June 2008 09:38 (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 : 15 years, 10 months ago on 14 June 2008 08:35 (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.

Street Fighter II review

Posted : 15 years, 10 months ago on 11 June 2008 10:17 (A review of Street Fighter II)

This game was released in Brazil only this version I am talking about, released by TecToy. This is Street Fighter 2 which you know it is kind of weird it got released in 1997 well Brazil were still getting games on the Master System I have no clue why though. Street Fighter 2 is very different from other versions such as characters are replaced E. Honda, Zangief, Dhalsim and Vega are not here and are replaced with Balrog, Sagat and M. Bison (these are playable from the start as in World Warrior these were only CPU characters you could not unlock them). The graphics are good for an 8 bit system but as it is the Sega Master System the moves have been limited so you will not to be able to perform all the moves from other versions. This is a good port it even adds music which in 8 bit it sounds good and also adds an announcer voice which is OK. If you do want to play this version get a Master System emulator and find the ROM because finding the cartridge would be too hard as it was only released in Brazil.

Sonic Blast review

Posted : 15 years, 10 months ago on 11 June 2008 09:42 (A review of Sonic Blast)

Sonic Blast on the Sega Master System was a game that was only released in Brazil in 1996. The games stages are pretty short and the game is fairly easy though the controls are a little slow at responding at times but this is a good Sonic title and is worth checking out.

3 Games can you do them all in the time limit?

Posted : 15 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2008 01:25 (A review of Nintendo World Championships 1990)

Nintendo World Championships this was not out in shops it was only for the Championship where players would see who is the fastest at doing these games. I was only very young while this took place which only happened in the US which I am not from there as I am from the UK. The games feature a certain target on each stage on once that has been done it will take you to the next game.

The game has Super Mario Bros in this one you have to get 50 coins to by doing it faster will give you more time to do the next stage. Rad Racer is the next game and in this game you must complete a race and again you have to do it as fast as possible so you will get plenty of time to do the next challenge. The next game and final one is Tetris really here just get a high score. After doing these games it will give you a score of each game and the time it had taken to complete.

I have played this and it is good but with it only been a championship cartridge I am not going to rate it top but as each game Mario is the best on here no doubt about it. The rating is not so good only 4 this is not a full game which is something you will already know if you are reading this. I did play this game but only with on an emulator.
