with knuckles of brass
We'll kick your but
like we did to king tut
We play video games
when chuck norris is dead you know who to blame
but sadly, the contributors thought:
hating will cause ton to fall on you and attract zombies
was more appropriate

Alright after Two months and over 400 views we would like to give you a chance to design our logo. All you have to do is make a really good logo and send it to nullreview@gmail.com. The winner will have their image posted as a backdrop for the site and make it the profile pic for every ☆(null) Review Not Found☆ account we make like the steam group which is now online and the twitter page. Good luck and may the force be with you.

Thanks!

Hey regular viewers of the blog! I'd just like to say thanks because, even though i was one of the latest joiners of the crew (:D), the blog has really started to take off, and while we may be pretty amateurish at times, it's pretty damn awesome!

P.S., just found out that there's a rapper named Fiftybottles, that's not the reason I call myself Fiftybottles (I just like the way it sounds)

OK BYE

New Name

As you can see the blog name has officially changed to ☆(null) Review Not Found☆ so I think it's high time I change my name as well... PortalFTW is my new name. Now if you see this username on other sites it usually me but try to message them first before you go assuming it's me. So thats about it.

Minecraft... THE MOVIE

Now you may have heard that 2-p Productions is making a movie about the hit indie game Minecraft. They have already put the first 20 minutes of the film on Gametrailers here:

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/documentary-kickstarter-minecraft/710787

Now I encourage you to try to fund the movie for a bunch of goodies and so that this movie may actually get made. Now so far the movie is looking great and I can't wait to see how it goes. It looks as good as "The King Of Kong: Fistful of Quarters" and that movie was awesome. To fund the movie click here: http://www.tinyurl.com/minecraftdoc.

Dead Island Literal

You may know we love Tobuscus and that Dead Island trailer has been getting us all worked up. Tobuscus just Literaled it. So here it is for your enjoyment

Game-a-thon

If you know about the game-a-thon, 16-bit listed a bunch of systems. Sadly he missed the PSP. Now I'm not sure what we're going to do for that but I'm pretty sure there's going to be Renegade squadron. Also on systems we have some really ancient things like N64, Sega Saturn (for real) but most are on emulators. These systems won't go on (besides psp) so contact us in anyway to let us know that you want a N64 or a Sega Saturn in the Game-a-thon.

Just some Game-A-Thon stuff

Now we do not know when we are going to do the Game-A-Thon because I need to figure some stuff out before we do it (Capture card and video editing stuff) but we will do it when we get all that sorted out. So just be ready when then happens we will have a barrage of ads on this site for it possibly including contests and stuff but if you can help us out then it will be much appreciated. I need to know what is better for this Ustream, Livestream, or Justin T.V? What capture card will work with all the systems we will be using (Check 16-Bit's post for more details)? And I need to know a live editing software that we can use two camera inputs for a capture card and a camera so we can show what were playing and ourselves playing it? That's all for now and if you can help please comment below if you have any info on any of these subjects.

Random Stuff + Game-A-Thon Possible Games

Okay, I just created a Twitter page for our blog. It is: @nullreview, like our other channels and what not. Just a side note, I will be posting a gameplay video to follow up the update that I did on Friday or Saturday (can't remember which). The last announcement that I have to make is that we are definitely going to be doing a game-a-thon, confirming at least one game for almost every system, (including PC and Virtual Console on the Wii/Emulators) which will be:

(Wii)

Mario Kart Wii
Mario Sports Mix

(Xbox 360)

Halo: Reach
(maybe) Kinect Adventures

(PS3)

Little Big Planet
Red Dead Redemption

(N64 Emulator)

Super Smash Bros.
Mario Kart 64

(SNES Emulator)

Super Mario World
Donkey Kong Country
Super Mario RPG

(DS)

Kirby Superstar Ultra
Dragon Quest IX

Possibly (3DS)

Mario Kart 3DS
Street Fighter 3D
Cave Story 3D

(PC)
Starcraft II
Cave Story (Modded Version)

So that's it folks. Those are some of the games we might be playing. The 3DS all counts on when we do the game-a-thon.

New Nintendogs + Cats Gameplay Footage (including Augmented Reality) for...

I just found this little video posted a few weeks ago about new gameplay footage from Nintendogs+Cats... At the beginning, it features some intersting footage of how AR support is going to be worked into the game... Does this offer any insight as to what we may see in future 3DS games? It's up to you to decide....



I also found this video of Angry Birds, which is apparently coming to 3DS.... We'll keep you updated....

Donkey Kong? Countries? Returning!? TELL ME MORE

Well, once again, I know it's kinda late on my part, but quite frankly, I have just GOT to post this review, because *spoiler alert!* ***I COULDN'T POSSIBLY RECOMMEND THIS GAME ENOUGH***** Ok, you can look back now.

I'm sure that you've all heard of a classic game called Donkey Kong Country. This game featured incredible, pre-rendered graphics, an amazing soundtrack, and some of the best gameplay ever conceived. Naturally, two sequels were made, but neither could quite live up to the glory of the original game and, quite frankly, the third one just sucked. The series was left alone for quite some time after that. Until, of course, Retro Studios set out to create the best game in the series: Donkey Kong Country Returns!

There's really not much to say about this game, other than IT'S FREAKING AMAZING. The gameplay has been refreshed slightl,y and there are tons of new gimmicks in each level that really just hook you. Diddy offers help with his jet pack and two extra hearts now, meaning that you can't switch between the two like in the previous games, but I'm perfectly fine with that, seeing as how whenever I got the chance I would switch to good ol DK. Quite frankly, it really doesn't make a difference at all in the gameplay.

The game looks simply amazing. They really pushed the Wii to its limits for this game, and I'm glad, because the cartoonish graphics look at times even more amazing than some PS3 and Xbox 360 games I've seen. It really just is an amazing thing to look at, and the stylized and simply breathtaking Silhouette levels are a great thing to see in action.

The mutliplayer in this game consists strictly of Drop-in drop-out co-op local gameplay. Having trouble with a particularly nasty level? Call in a friend and have him help you out. Of course, there's just one thing in the local multiplayer that will make some despise it and other love it, and that's the fact that you all take lives from the same life pool. Sure, frustrating maybe at first, but I actually quite like the fact that working together is greatly encouraged, instead of like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, where I found myself wanting to kick all my friends in the 'nads after about 30 minutes of playing with them. And, once you get far enough into the game, finding banana coins and buying more balloons from good 'ol Cranky Kong (who's as funny as ever in this game) isn't much of a problem, no matter how hard the level is.

Overall, I couldn't recommend DKC Returns any more, and while it's not perfect, it sure gets pretty damn close, and this game is definitely worthy of the score I'm giving it, which is:

98/100 BANANAS

Who put down the stars on the (null) Logo. it had the brackets for a reason because that is how it is put down in programing language. Now i'm going to change it back and you can put the stars back but you have to do it around the brackets.

NHL 11

In my opinion NHL 11 is an amazing game for hockey fans but if you do not like hockey your not in for a whole lot of luck. I am going to go by all of the major game modes and rate them one by one.

First of I will start will regular play now mode. So in play now mode you can choose what team you want to play as in over 5 leagues. You also get to choose what jersey you want and if you are home or away. I would give this mode 8/10

Next there is be a pro mode. In be a pro mode you get to create your own character and then play seasons as your player and try to be the best of the best. You can also get your rank to NHL or stay down in a lower lever. I would give this 9/10

Lastly for major modes in my opinion I would choose be a GM mode. In be a GM mode you can be the general manager of any NHL team and make your own trades, bring players down to the minors, and just sign people to your team. I would give this mode 7/10

Overall I really like the game and for the full game rating I would give it

91 baby Crosby's/ 100

Cave Story Custom Text Mod

Hey guys! Just wanted to let y'all now that I just made a Cave Story custom text mod. No, it doesn't change the appearance of the text or anything that any of the characters say to you, but when you die, drown, save, pick up some weapons, restore health (health pot and monitor), and maybe a few other things some interesting lines of dialogue will come up. Not much swearing, no drityness, so you pervs out there better zip your pants back up. Anyways, e-mail me if ya want the files, I'll be waiting....

Also, please note that this WILL NOT work with anything but the PC version. You'd be surprised at what people think they can do sometimes.... if you're using mac or linux (I USE LINUX!!!), then simply download the files I provide you and copy them into the cave story folder you are currently using. Below is an example video of some of the things you'll see whilst playing with my mod....

There are some text glitches (as you will see), sorry 'bout that, but still, enjoy! Remeber, email should you desire the mod...



I'm not used to PC version. I'm more accustomed to the DSi controls, in case you're wondering why I'm occasionally sucking.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Special Edition Unboxing

Goldeneye!? Isn't that old news?

Yes, it's Fiftybottles here, the guy who (I think) has only posted on the blog once before. Evidently, I'm not an avid blogger. I've already succeeded in abandoning my own personal blog after three posts back in the summer... BUT I'M NOT LETTING YOU DOWN. IMA GONNA STAY WIT DIS WUN. Anyways, yeah, the game I'm talking about was realeased back in November, but I feel as if I should at least give it a proper review....

Goldeneye 007 is an absolutely exceptional Wii FPS game. While many think that it's simply unable to compete with other console titles such as Call of Duty or Bad Company 2, I personally believe that it's right up there with the best. This isn't just a good wii first-person-shooter, this is just a downright good first-person-shooter.

The gameplay in Goldeneye has changed a lot since its orignal N64 release. It now has way more call of duty elememnts thrown into the mix here, and yet it still manages to retain an awesome arcadey feel to it. It has its own personality, and some of the great new COD formual tossed in there, making it what I like to call a "Bond of Duty" title. You'll engage in intense, all-out firefights and silently take out enemies by choking them, wringing their necks, or smashing their face into the computer screen in front of them. Both elements of the single player capmpaign work beautifully, however the stealth aspects really steal the show here. There are numerous ways to distract and take out your enemies, and the smart AI won't let you execute your plans easily, even if they do tend to be a tad predictable.

The graphics in Goldneye are simply astonishing.... for the Wii. Obviously, it just can't compare with the other big name titles out there, which are available on the much-more-superior-when-it-comes-to-graphics consoles. I wont call them next-gen, since technically the Wii is still from the current generation. Anyways, the game manages to push the Wii hardware to its limits, delivering some impressive special effects and lighting, as well as detailed models and environements. Certain textures leave something to be desired (such as the chains blocking some of the doors in the multiplayer version of the Nightclub map), and the circular shadows displayed beneath characters can disappoint, aside from otherwise awesome lighting effects.

Multiplayer in Goldeneye is awesome. The split-screen multiplayer is a blast, and the varied weapon loadouts ensure that all players are fighitng equally, and that no loudaout is more powerful than the other. The balancing is great, and this this one case, I'm actually glad that the split-screen doesn't feauture leveling up. It offers few game modes in split screen, however, and even though it has quite a few modifiers to screw around with, it's still pretty disappointing. Online, however, is a completely different story. It features a (quite deep) leveling up system, however I did find that it took far too long to level up after level seven. In Call of Duty, after clocking with only 4 hours of gameplay, I was already a level 23, however in Goldneye I was just barely making it to level 9. It can be frustrating at times, but overall, its still fun. The online offers quite a few varied ( and fun) gametypes, that add interesting spins onto the game modes we all know and love. Golden Gun is a great addition, and Black Box is a refreshing take on Capture the Flag.

All in all, Goldeneye is the best Wii shooter available, and one of the best shooters available right now; period. I definately recommend you pick it up, even if you have an Xbox or PS3 with Call of Duty.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 PSN Review

Just in time for number 3, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 is getting reviewed on Null. I got Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 on the PSN a few weeks ago to hype me up for the third which I'm getting this Tuesday. When I started playing it I was hooked. All the characters, modes, and multiplayer it is one of the best fighting games I have ever played. With a whopping 56 characters to choose from you'll almost never run out of fighters to choose from and if you ever wanted to see if a Servbot could beat Wolverine now's you chance. But obviously you'll have you favorite team, mine for example is Megaman, Spiderman, Strider. But everyone's will be different and that's what's so great about it. This game is great for beginners to play but there are so many moves to do and so many combinations to choose from that you need a lot of time to master it. Now I could go on and on about how much I love this game but my only gripe is the character selection screen's interface. You can't go back if you did something wrong and it's really hard to choose what costume you want because it does not show you what costume it is. But all in all a great game

You wish you had your blanky

(chorus)
Keep shooting till they drop
Turn my blue tooth up

Ain't got a care in the world

I Live in my mothers basement and been there for a year

Cause They're gernade spammers
They have no aim and are loser durps
But I shoot them up with my useless sniper
I saying everyone now sucks sucks

Or till my system shuts down down
