Left 4 Dead, is not your average game, and definately one of my favorites right now. I haven’t played it much, but when I do get it, it’ll be great. Left 4 Dead is the most intense, heart pounding shooter on the market today, if not game. The game is better as it is Online or with friends than it is offline. It’s a game basically built strictly on 28 Weeks later, Nos Energy Drink and Multiplayer. There is no time to take a break, until you get to the saferoom at the end of the level.
Above: Left 4 Dead
Another great part about the game is how every NPC is controlled by what I like to call “The A.I Master” most likely also a man in a gorilla suit and a yellow sombrero… Sound familiar? No? eh… whatever, look it up. Anyways, every time you play, the A.I are in mostly different places and in larger quantities… I don’t know, maybe there are more “boss zombies”. Oh, yeah. The boss zombies are gigantic zombies (Or just really strong) which include crying people with super strength, giant people with super strength, and people in hoodies with super strength.(My personal favorite) Also, Left 4 Dead is a game that actually foccuses a lot on actual team work, and making decisions not just in the campaign, but even in multiplayer. In one case, one of your team mates might be stuck half way across the course, while you and everybody else are at the end of the level (Which I wil call “Point B”) you could go back, or leave them behind and continue to the next level (even though they will still be in the next “stage”)
So Left 4 Dead is surely a buy for fans of the Survival Horror genre, shooter genre or who just want a reasonable excuse to drink Nos at 8:00 P.M..
You may have noticed that right now the busy two writers at this blog are churning up a bunch of posts. What are we supposed to do when it’s been pouring down rain the whole weekend? I mean, sure they’re running the first two Jurrasic Parks, but I’d rater write. Anyways… Since I got Hale Life 2: Episode 1 off of the annoying, update persistant yet filled with good games-ed “Steam”, I’ll write a review. Frankly, I can’t wait to get Episode 2… it looks outstanding. But, lets get to the review.
Half Life 2: Episode 1:
The Half Life series has a very immersful plot, which is nearly half the reason that some people continue to buy the games. It has a great way of presenting the story as you never once leave the shoes of Gordon Freeman. So then why did Valve spend time (?) creating a game that goes basically nowhere with the story? The story of Episode 1 could easily be contained within Episode 2 as a mere two chapters of Citadel breaching and more Antlion fighting. The game is clusterphobic and, as that was somewhat the feel of the original Half Life, it’s confusing. You always feel like you’re in the wrong place, like, somewhere behind the invisible wall. A good example is a level that takes place in a parking garage. You go up the some stairs top the parking lot, kill two zombies fight your way through an antlion army… and then you have to climb up overturned building beams to climb to a useless pile of rubble, where there’s just another zombie.
Above: One of my favorite Half Life creatures is the Zombine. Sadly, it is the only new creature you find in HL2: Episode 1.
But what’s the good side to this flawless FPS (Half Life 1, Opposing forces, and Half Life 2, are preferably the best) gone to video game Hell? Well, the content, that’s what. Something is that if you buy plain old Half Life 2, you don’t have any access to spawning Antlion Guards in Gmod (Note: If you have any Source game on Steam, I recommend that you buy Gmod now) but by buying Episode 1, you do. But if you know how to go through the Baptism by Fire that is Downloading things off garrysmod.com, there’s probably a free NPC for download of an Antlion guard there, just like there is for the Strider.
Above: Oh yeah, there’s also the Cavern Guard… But you still can’t get it on Gmod.
A BIG problem though is the fact that there is basically NO new gameplay content (When I said content is the best part, I meant for Gmod), but more erased content. The two new additions are Zombine, unfortunate combine soldiers who crossed paths with a head crab, and the Physics Gun, possibly one of the best guns ever featured in a game. But that’s it. Nothing. So seriously, skip Episode 1 and go straight to Episode 2. Look up the plot for Episode 1. Even though there is a pack on Steam that gives you Gmod, Episode 1 and every mod online game for Episode 1 for just 20$, don’t do as I did.
There are so many games that you could get someone just because the name/back o’ the box sounds cool. I mean, like if someone likes sci-fi, you could get them Halo, or Star Wars: the Force Unleashed. Or you could get them… Mushroom Men (*urp*) (*gurgle*) Or….. That new revised Galaga..I’m gonna hurl! (and these aren’t in order of disgustingness, just so you know)
-10: Any Game Based Off of a TV Show or Movie: Have you seen.. like.. Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie: The Game? (Of course they only do this flop of a game idea with kids shows)
-9: Garrys Mod: Not like it’s not a good game, It’s a GREAT game. But most people don’t know that you have to have Half Life 2, Portal, Counter Strike: Source or Team Fortress: Source. Ya, and parents would be like “No, were not spending $20 more for Christmas. You have enough already.”
-8: Line Rider (for the Wii): yeah, its line rider, but there’s a plot, stupid goals, and boss fights… Actually it SOUNDS cool, but it isn’t.
-7: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels:: NOT for any star wars fans!!! Think about it. It’s the force unleashed, except only the light saber duals, and barely any force powers. (and horible graphics)
-6: Boogie: I know that this isn’t something most of us would buy, but I’ve seen so many people buy this at Walmart. I always think “This sounds cool, but it is just a waste of 60 bucks” talk about ear-round-house-kicking music.
-5: Those Horribly Themed Boogie Versions: I would add this to the -4 section, but they don’t admit that its really boogie. All of them are themed, like, Hanna Montana, or Naked Brothers Band. I just thought it was a different level of horrible.
-4: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (DS version):: Okay, it sounds AMAZING!!! Portable version of the game that everyone loves!? two words: IT’S NOT!!!!! the NPCs are clunky and lifeless, you always get jammed in doors or stuck on walls, all it is is hide shoot hide shoot, and the graphics are worse than you’d think for the DS! not worth the buy, but if you get it for Christmas, don’t be disappointed. It has some good, but the bad over rules.
-3: Prey The Stars: Yep, another probably unlicensed game! This is just a sad joke, though. You play as a weird monster resembling the Dr.Mario viruses, and you eat things. Amazing, simply amazing.
-2: those stupid Petz games: ya, you heard of them. They’re the ones where you save animals and cure them simply by touching them with your stylus. In other words, (*tap*) (*tap*) “YOU BEAT LEVEL 1!!!”
-1: Console Versions of The Sims: ya, no effort… That’s all I can say.
The Half Life 2 series is awesome, but playing last night, I realized the first, fan boy-pants-exploding game in the Half Life 2 series is all to linear. So, with pretty little bullet points, I’ve put together a list of why the first is actually pretty generic and sometimes bad, but to fend off the angry Half Life fans, like me, It’s in the form of pros and kahns. Lets start with a pro and then move to a kahn and back and forth, shall we? (Note the Episode 1 and 2 are awesome. Half Life 2 has it’s moments)
Above: Being linear hurts your soul. (Read: Suicide)
Gravity gun is awesome.
On Xbox, the dune buggy sucks pretty bad.
I didn’t get the revised 360 version.
A.I is good
Gravity gun is the only unique gun.
Stryders are the coolest, most menacing awesome aliens ever.
The loading bars pop up all the time, and on a similar note are extremely long.
Garry’s mod is extremely fun.
Unlike in Episode 2, this game lacks a pimpin’ Dodge Charger 69. (You can tell I’m a fan, note the custom header)
Vortigaunts call you “The Freeman”. Maybe it has something to do with both the fact that in the first 4 original games they were slaves. Wait, your name’s Gordo Freeman… Still, though.
Now that i said Dodge Charger 69 in my post, I’ll get some spam asking me if I want a free Dodge Charger.
Well, Vortigaunts.
Bad graphics and extra long loading bars on the two big, open levels “Highway 17″ and “Sandtraps” (On xbox that is, sorry for confusion.)
Really good graphics (For an original Xbox game, already amazing on PC if you have DirectX 9) when you’re in inclosed cities and ernviroments Half Life was made for.
But, nearly every problem adressed here was fixed in Episode 1 and 2. In Episode 1… Well, really that was just a more inclosed (actually, not very inclosed upon reaching urban City 17) and enhanced version of Half Life 2, but much more fun… Oh! Two new weapons in Episode 1 and some of the best EVER in a game, our friends the Gravity gun and the Crossbow. In Episode 2, it was for the 360 and PC, expanding on some of the most open and great levels ever seen in an FPS like Half Life, especially expanding very widely on combat with Synth Stryders. (Only fought once in Half Life 2) and Mini Stryders (Which were new to Half Life: Episode two)
Quick Secret, cheat thing: If you have Garry’s mod, there are many places to find Stryder NPCs if you haven’t downloaded them here. In Half Life 2, there’s one in the background of the first level you can duplicate and spwn at the town center, and watch it eliminate the helpless inhabitants of City 17. Oh, who cares if we’re trying to help them? In Episode One, there’s a level (I don’t remember which) that is pretty much just a sandbox set in the ruins of City 17. It’s a level where you start in an elevator with Alyx, landing on the bottom floor. When the door opens she says “Come on, lets get out of here” from then on, she just kind of shuts down and starts staring at a gate that show the ruins of City 17 with a Stryder walking in the background and a video of Dr. Kleiner playing. Use no clip to enter the ruins. It’s one of the best places to start a battle… it’s awesome. Feel free to duplicate or drag the Stryder in the back ground. There’s another one on one of the citadel levels, infact there are three that walk below you on that level. Can’t remember which right now, though. Well, actually Half Life 2 is a million times better than Episode 1… so, yeah.
See you later.

For fear that I am going to lose more than my reputation, I will probably lose a lawsuit. sssSSSOOOooo I’m going to make a movie that I made up COMPLETLY. I am have just started making it up though, and I have writers block. I’ll work hard though. I’ll post bloopers and deleted scenes if it will make me more famous make you happier.
Thanks
Written by Aiboers7
EDIT>_< Great Idea, Yellow. Maybe some sort of Matrix spoof, or something. Like, where we can enter Garrys Mod through a computer.I’ll start on a script.
You hate it when they get a great idea wrong. You hate it when your favorite rusty, aged and dead 80s game franchise gets a successor, only to see it suck. Yes. Yes, you do. So here’s a list of what they need to get right and what they better get right next time. These are the top ten games we want [announced] now. Or at least I do.
10- Some kind of western, free roaming R.P.G
Gun was great. But that’s the only really great recent western game to date. If Fallout 3 was a western game, that would be awesome. I mean, there’s not much to say here.
9- 1 word. Chuck Norris
I said it. Chuck Norris. Game. Think about it.
8- A game based off various mythology that does not suck
Okay, there’s God of War, but give me another decent one. Legendary? Nope. Spartan Total Warrior? For God’s sake, no. Viking? …
7-A true GoldenEye successor
The results of Quantam of Solace the game killed us all a little inside.
6-A game that does not kick Turok while he’s down
What has Touchstone done to Turok?! I thought that Touchstone only made movies! What does this have to do with a time traveling Native American who has a nuke gun? What happened to when Turok used to rip open “Dinozoids” with his pizza cutter-shooting gun, anyways? To bad that stupid wrestling game ruined Akklaim. So sad…
5-A FarCry 2 with Jack Carver in it
Doyle: “You can’t change the past, Jack!”
Jack: “Yeah, but I can stop you.”
*bang*
Jack: “Stupid a*shole.”
Or the end goes something like that. Fine, Jack Carver’s to cool for FarCry 2 anyways.
4-Shadow of the Collossus 2…
Where was everybody’s favorite dialogue-stripped game this year at E3? Huh, people who made Iko? Huh?
3-A Jaws game where you’re not Jaws
A stupid board meeting:
Guy 1: “So the plan is, you’re a person on a boat, and Jaws attacks you and—”
Guy 2: “No! No! Great idea, but… get this. How about you play as Jaws?!?”
Guy 3: “Hey, yeah! And you can have a nautiating camera angle and bend the plot to the point where you play in giant underwater research labs!”
Guy 1: “Well… that’s not really—
Boss: “Guy 2, how would you like to be promoted?”
Yeah…
2-Mirror’s Edge
Oh wait.
1-”Ted Nugent’s bullet deflecting guitar squad!” or “The Nooge”
Are you thinking what I’m thinking?
The first trailer begins with a cop car. It get’s a radio transmission about criminals hiding out in a shed. It takes a left turn and finds a barn surrounded by cop cars. Cut to the inside of the shed where Ted Nugent and his band are hiding out. A cop breaks down the door. In slow motion, Ted Nugent deflects the cop’s bullets. Then the screen goes black and shows a date. Pure gold.
Since I’m having trouble creating a long top ten right now (idea wise) I decided to put together a list of the Top 15 best Games of all time, and also poke fun at them. I know, it’s generic, but it should work for about 2 minutes or so. You’ll probably also disagree with this a lot. But here goes nothing.
#15-Shadowrun (SNES)
Oh, the great feel of pen and paper RPGs. The character has been designed to your taste and is now ready to encounter random Elf Gang Bangers upon reaching yet another street. Confused now, new age gamers? Guy: “What? Oh… yeah Shadowrun, that games for Xbox! Duh! Not SNES.” Me: “…”
Above: Exciting.
PS: Just because no one knew about it doesn’t mean that it can’t be great! It still got a lot of fans a bit later and thousands upon thousands of novels. And also great reception.
#14-System Shock 2
Oh… now you’re getting angry, aren’t you. Hey, the game’s the spiritual predesesscor of BioShock! As much as I’m sure it’s on many top best games ever lists, you could argue and argue that it doesn’t deserve fourteen but more in the taste of fifty-four. (out of 100) The game was awesome, okay. We’ll settle there.
Above: Almost resembles the Character Models from GoldenEye 64. Just not ugly enough.
#13-Final Fantasy (Pick one. I’ll say IV)
Pick one. Yeah, I haven’t played it, but what’s one the most popular JRPGs out there? Correct. It is the Final Fantasy series.
Above: Whoever that bird is, it redefined cool. And urban fashion.
#12-Resident Evil 4
Not only was this game great, it was by far (in my opinion) the best in the Resident Evil series. Not really scary for me, but just the gameplay was amazing.
PS: Did anyone play it on the Wii? That was awesome!
Above: Compare to Gears of War.
#11-Morrowind
Morrowind is a great example of a first person RPG. A huge free form world with… ehh… decent graphics, which are excused by the huge world and many quests. Also, you can look like this:
Above: the only possible known inspiration for the YouTube video “Dramatic Gofer” to this date.
Ok, here’s a less creepy picture.
#10-The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the past
Do you even need to argue about this one? It’s nearly unofficial law that a Zelda game should be featured somewhere in a top ten best game ever list ranging from #1 to #10. (out of 100) So lets just all admit that this game is a classic and then not say anything past that.
Above: Remarkable. No really, that looks pretty good.
#9-Super Mario World
Do you need to be informed about this? Almost everybody who owns, has played, or even has no association with video games knows who Mario is. And then a lighter percent knows the classics, and this would be the best of all the 2D Mario games.
Above: Brilliant
#8-Sonic the Hedgehog
The original Sonic definetly earns it’s place after Super Mario World. You felt like you were going pretttty fast.
Okay. Yes, this game is an amazing sidescroller that I nearly enjoy playing on my cellphone. And with the okay reviews for the New Sonic RPG, “Dark Brotherhood” which is what I consider a late response to Mario RPG, I feel like Sonic might be making a comeback from when things went from great to awful when Sonic Adventures 2 was released.
Above: Um… Word Ration!
<word ration> Please Stand by
#7-Mario RPG
That rich, amazing blend of Pen & Paper RPG and one of the most classic game franchises ever. This game is amazing with Bowser on your side and tons of recruitable party members. (Well… not tons, but, whatever)
Plus, rumors have leaked out of a Very long awaited sequel that will be released on the NDS. Don’t get you hopes up that high though. You saw what they did to Paper Mario.
Above:…
#6-Super Metroid
Even though it’s hard, that does not mean it’s not awesome. It’s a classic 2D game that is arguably the best game in the Metroid series.
#5-Shadow of the Colossus
Gigantic, towering creatures, horseback riding and an open world. What more could you want? Then you (I mean the player by that) feels regret for killing the actually very gentle creatures for your own loved one (by that I mean your character’s loved one)
#4-Fallout 2
All this game would’ve needed to be #1 on this list is a recruitable Chuck Norris NPC. Anyways, this game is amazing, with addicting game play and an emmersive story. Yes, this entry is over there. Go download it somewhere if you have a Windows. (Read: piratesbay.com)
#3-007 GoldenEye 64
Known as one of the best shooters ever and arguably the best shooter ever, GoldenEye has an amazing multiplayer, unique cheat selection and just over all great game play. If you haven’t played it, I say you do so now.
#2-Okami
Barely disturbed by all the shoot em’ ups and RPGs on this list, how could I not mention the unnderated, uniquely designed Okami. GamesRadar has many a time ranted about how me and nearly every gamer out there spent our money on crappy game without noticing this masterpiece, thus causing the downfall of it, and only few played it, but they all loved it. Atleast we had a chance to redeem ourselves when Okami was given another chance on the Wii, the console it was truly made for, also.
Also, if you have an entirely white fur dog, the I suggest you do this to it immediatly.
#1-The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time
One day we may have to settle that this is the best game ever once and for all. I myself don’t exactly understand it’s greatness. I’m saying, yes, it is [arguably] the best game ever, but it’s hard to understand just what does it, even if you’ve played all the way through.
Bethesda should be clearing their trophy shelf right now if you ask me. Fallout 3 has game of the year all over it. I finally got my hand on it, and now I’m reviewing Fallout 3. The game is a well-crafted RPG, but one of the best parts is that it maintains itself as a lighthearted FPS with the great shoot outs. But before detailing game play, I should probably highlight the plot. Fallout 3 starts off in Vault 101. Apparently the world has been destroyed and filled with infectious nuclear waste due to a nuclear holocaust in 2077. At the very beginning you exit the whom from 1st person. They did a good job fitting RPG cliches` into actual character dialogue throughout the entire time you’re in the Vault. For instance, when choosing your name when you’re born, your dad (voice of Leam Neeson) ask’s you “What do you think of…” and then it brings up the type in box. After choosing your name, he whispers “Let’s see what you’ll look like when you’re all grown up” further bringing you into character creation. Your character will, no matter what, look to be about in his twenties. Throughout Vault 101, you make friends, grow up from toddler into your current age (don’t worry, it only takes about thirty minutes) and work through clever training techniques. When you reach your current age, some crap goes down (that I’ll choose not to spoil for you) and you have to leave in search of your father who has mysteriously disappeared. Now I can talk about the game.
Fallout 3 is huge. When you first enter the wastelands, you don’t know where to start. Eventually you’ll find people from Mutants (Don’t worry, they’re very friendly) to very, very pissed off travelers. There are still large cities made out of various crap found in the wastelands, and inhabited by various people who feel like crap from the wastelands. Some people around town are friendly and will give you nice little quests like “Collect ten bottle caps from the city populated entirely by children! Yay!” but others will cut straight to it and tell you to arm a nuclear bomb and then kill ten people. But maybe the greatest thing about the “friendly” residents of the wasteland is the fact that, in the spirit of the original Fallout games, you can recruit people for your traveling group. Sometimes, you’ll have to lower your “karma” by stealing and killing to get somebody to join you, or vice versa. The quests are rich and detailed. From offing people to getting caught up in a faction war, it’s all great fun, right? Another quick note speaking of killing is the fact that Fallout 3 may be one of the most, say… goriest games ever. In Fallout 1 & 2, you killed people, and there was barely any blood. In Fallout 3, though, the case has changed. With an extremely awesome sniping system named V.A.T.S, you have the ability to lock on to somebody, freeze time, select a limb on their body, press R then A (On the Xbox, at least) and then you witness the awesome slow motion scene of your character firing a bullet onto the chosen limb, and watching the limb fling of of the person like a leg snapping off of a chicken. And did I mention there’s tons of blood? And you can even pick up the disembodied limb and throw it at people! Fun!
Fallout 3 also has some awesome clothing and armor. From jumpsuits to gasmasks, the armor will entertain endlessly. In the essence of changing the subject, another neat thing about Fallout is the unique perk system. Near the beginning of the game, you choose your first perk. Most of the perks increase some of your skills chosen at the beggining of the game. “Gun Nut” will increase your knowledge and skill of firearms, while some of the more unique ones like “Lady Killer” give you a whole new sub-skill pertaining to a main skill. When you choose Lady killer, you instantly have the ability to seduce women and do extra damage to them, which was mildly controversial when it was revealed. Every time you get a level up you choose a new perk, and depending on what level you are, there are many, many perks to choose from. So generally Fallout 3 is vast and maybe epic. So now I’ll continue with a “You’ll Love, You’ll Hate” list……..
You’ll enjoy: Vast Landscapes, Good A.I., rich quests, perks
You’ll hate: You run out of ammo quickly, it’s a little hard to get some people to join you, it may tend to frustrate, the path from good to bad karma happens quickly while the opposite happens more slowly
The stats may seem mediocre to the people with 1 million comments for every post, but recently (After a time of poverty and no hits) the view number skyrocketed to 11,332 in 2 days, meaning 1,332 views in 2 days, meaning that my blog is recovering. At one point my blog topped the stat graph (Which is a page viewable by the admin and his/her’s writers, editors and contributors showing the current stats of the blog through a graph) to, well, the very top, which i was very proud of. it then started going up and down and reached the point it was at merely 2 weeks ago. Since then it’s moved up an inch on about a 4 inch image!
Also don’t forget that there’s a new writer on board from maximoose.wordpress.com, who, so far only has two posts. To view those posts check out the widget to the left of the screen you’re currently viewing and click any post under “Aiboers7″, his username. Meanwhile, I’m pushing another friend to get an account here so he can be a writer, editor or contributor, but we’ll see.
Lets face it. Video Game movies suck. Bad. From Uwe Boll movies to any other game movie, they just don’t get it right… even for the most memerable (or however you spell it) games from this or last generation gaming. So I decided to come up with ten games that, if they get the movie right, could be great movies. No really, I’m serious ! WARNING: GIGANTIC SPOILERS AHEAD!
#10——-Portal
Maybe you’re thinking “What? That’s stupid, there’s barely any dialogue!”. Ever heard of an independent movie? As much as I don’t like Sundance channel, this is the only way Portal could be adapted. Maybe I’m not right, but skip a few of the puzzles and maybe, just maybe, you’ll have a decent result. The thing is, there are some things that would make it good and some things that aren’t plausible for a movie, like the constant wondering of companion cubeified mazes that would put you to sleep.
But then there’s GLaDOS. She makes a great character, and is loved by players across the world, like companion cube. So really, it’s a hard decision to as whether this would work or not.
#9——-Metal Gear Solid
This one almost seems entered just as filler to make viewers happy, but it’s also true that this is and was rated as one of the best game plots ever. A Metal Gear Solid movie would be a hard one to make, because one mistake, and you’ve got a crappy 80’s-movie-left-over-action/adventure. But this would be a good action that would definitely keep you awake. From awesome dinosaur m.e.c.hs, super ninjas and retired army agents, the plot is better than you think.
Come on. You still want more? The link speaks for it’s self. Click it. My life would be so much easier if you just click it.
#8——-Beyond Good and Evil
The Story:
“You play Jade, a young news reporter who just happens to also live with a house full of orphans – but she grew up there or something, so it’s not quite as hokey as it sounds. When aliens show up and kidnap a bunch of her orphans, Jade sets out to rescue them. Soon Jade and her sidekicks learn more and more about the aliens, the government, and how both are preying upon the little people.“
The quote also speaks for it’s self. Sound like a Pixar animation huh? Yeah, hah, hah, no.
The game is dark, with an ending a little bit like BioShock’s dark and twisted…twist. The twist in BioShock will alter the gamplay after that dementedly violent cutscene. Here’s a video to complete this entry and hurry you to the one’s that I actually took time to create,
Above: The video’s long and seems stupid at first, but stick around.
#7——-System Shock 1 & 2
Listed as one of the scariest game series of all time and the inspiration behind BioShock, System Shock is clearly a classic. A movie of System Shock could be terrifying if done right. It would be a great-edge-of-the-seat-then-jump-out-of-your-seat-and-then-get-back-on-your-seat kind of movie. Also, SHODAN is a terrifyingly powerful super computer! Can’t ask for much more. Here’s a video.
Above: Lo-lo-look at you hacker.
The second that you see that hokey Star Ship voyage promo video, you know something terrible is going to happen to it.
#6——-Fallout 1 or 2
“It’s the year 20XX and the world is in ruins after America and China’s nuclear World War. Some have survived in underground Vaults, protected from the radiation and horrors of the wasteland. You’re the descendant of the original Vault Dweller, a hero who left his vault to save its inhabitants, and it’s up to you to find a miracle machine that will save your tribal village. Upon finding the machine you return to find your village has been kidnapped by the sinister Enclave to be experimented on with a virus designed to ‘purify’ humanity.”
-The same Games Radar Writer who wrote the last quote
For the third time, something speaks for itself. The quote. But I’ll take some more time here. This would be a long movie, with all the adventure stuff and things like that… Ahhhhhhhh! I give up… I haven’t played this one. Just go here.
#5——–God of War
This one is another shakey one. I mean, it’s possible, but it would take alot to make a movie of a game like this good. OR… you could make it an all out action that’s not corny, say for instance the Newest Batman movie. Yeah, make it a dark movie and there you go. A guy commits suicide in the first seen because he believes that he’s been betrayed. As he’s commiting suicide the events leading to his suicide are shown. That has dark all over it….. uh, maybe…
Okay, so maybe his image is somewhat… un-plausible.
#4——-Farcry
You’re thinking “What?” because this is already being adapted to a movie. Thing is, though, that movie will be a Uwe Boll “masterpiece”. I don’t hate that man… I hate his films. Just look up the video. Okay, so maybe it won’t be that bad, it’s just that… well, it could be better. Make it scary. Make the mutants actually look like the Trigen, or whatever they’re called, and make sure it’s the original FarCry, well maybe. It depends… do you want Jack Carver to have super mutant powers, or want him to be a normal guy on a tropical island who murders his teamate in the end of the game? More plausible than you thought, huh?
Above: Take a chill pill, man… you may have been injected with super human fluid but look around! You’re in paradise!
#3——–BioShock
It does not take a genius to know that, after you’ve beaten BioShock, it would make a pretty awesome movie. You play as Jack. On a plane flight, you notice you have what appears to be a gift in your luggage. You open it and then see that it’s a gun, with a message. After opening it, the plane crashes before you read the letter. Unfortunately, you’re the only survivor. Fortunately, there’s some lighthouse on a tiny island. Suspicous… you go in, take an elevator, and find yourself in Rapture, a once great metropolis, where the people were full of Super Power upgrade drugs and the citie’s name is very ironic! Yay! But now it’s a screwed up abandoned very creepy city filled with those people who have by now ODed on the Super Power drugs and become super humans. Boo. You find survivors, but they’re all insane and want to kill you, except for Atlas, who’s a mysterious person talking to you via radio, instructing you to find a way out of Rapture. There are also Super SUPER humans called Big Daddys who wear scooba diving suits and kill anyone who comes near their genetically enhanced super power “sisters” called little sister because people want to harvest them for their ADAM*, and after defeating a Big Daddy, you can spare the little sister or harvest it. Through audio tapes, you find out about Rapture’s history, and all the things that went wrong. You soon find out that Rapture was victim to civil war between Atlas, and opposition leader, and Ryan, the founder of Rapture who granted tomuch freedom to his citizens.

You also find that Atlas has been hiding his normal family inside a submarine, and that you can go with them, if I remember correctly. But upon arrival to the submarine, Ryan blows it up. Atlas tells you to kill Ryan in a very angry tone, and you go. But when you reach Ryan, he has a shocking secret in store for you. You’re only two years old and he used growth EVE* on you so you’d become about thirty. When you were born, he implanted a chip into you that made you respond to any command starting with the fraise “Will You kindly” and thats when you realize that throughout the whole game Atlas has been starting every command with “Will you kindly”. In the end, Fontaine (Who I didn’t mention and will not go back to. Look it up) overdoses on EVE* and becomes a flaming super human. You then get knocked down by him after fighting for a while injecting him with a syringe repeatedly , but then the Little Sisters (The things that the Big Daddys are protecting.) save you by swarming Atlas and stabbing him syrenges until he dies, and then if you harvest more than two little sisters, you have a evil, sad ending (actually it’s a pretty awesome ending). If you didn’t, you get to see this retarded, Lifetime ending.

#2- The Darkness
Even though I haven’t played this one, it seems to have a good plot. You play as a hitman who is almost offed on his 21st birthday. After the mafia finds out that you’re not dead, they find your girlfriend and vent her brains through a very unpleasant scripted sequence. Oh yeah… there’s a family curse that you inherit on your birthday (I’d like to call it a present, but whatever) where you get supernatural demon tentacle powers called the Darkness. Also, he can visit whatever it’s called and see his dead friends and family, including his uncle, who helps him gain revenge to the people who murdered his girlfriend. Bad entry??? Whatever. Yeah, I don’t care for this one. consider BioShock #2, if you want .
#1——Half Life 1 or 2
Finally! Half Life 2 has to be the most worthy entry, if BioShock isn’t. Half Life 2 over rules the first because the first one is more survival horror than the second one. The second one has a great plot if not great characters (Dog!). They could release the first Hal Life as a prequel, or whatever… it would be their choice. It’s just that Half Life 1 doesn’t have many characters; Half Life 2 on the other hand, has some the greatest characters ever seen in a video game (Dog!). Half Life by far would over rule Halo as a game (Which was already overrated) and everything as a movie… kinda.
! WARNING: GIGANTIC SPOILERS AHEAD!
