Cave Story Three-Dee

I celebrate Christmas, as I'm sure some of you do, so It is logical to assume that I got something for Christmas. And, in doing so, you would be correct. I got 200$ from my uncle, who lives in Montreal. 100$ was for Christmas, and the other half was from my birthday, which was in October (the 9th, to be exact). I decided I would go out and get a 3DS game. At the time, I didn't really know what I wanted, but when I saw that Gamestop only had one copy of Cave Story 3D left, I decided to buy it.

Anyhow, this is my review of the game.

The game has a nice classic feel to it, while adding the new effects nicely. You have two options for graphics. You can choose to play with the new 3D characters and objects (such as Life Capsules and Save Points), or you could play with a 3D world, but with the original 2D sprites, and thankfully, both are amazing.

The gameplay is just what I had expected it to be. The characters have exactly the same lines, and unfortunately, Balrog doesn't say "HUZZAH!!!" when he appears in the shack. Other than that let down, the game is a good amuser, at least until I feel like hauling my lazy ass out to buy another iTunes gift card.

I give Cave Story 3D 89 Huzzah's or lacktherof out of 100 Huzzah's or lacktherof.

Sorry for the Last Post

As you can see, the title is what I mean. I have deepest regrets for doing something so childish. I'm just expresses my inner emotions through pictures that I created. Like a poet with his or her poems. Like an artist with paint or an author with words. I am just a follower of these great people. I may have missed some of the great people who express their feelings. If you thought I would make more of those, well too bad. I'll only give you one more though.

Just Some Stuff...

Okay, so recently a few things have happened... Thor has recently retrieved the password for our YouTube/Gmail/Blogger account, so I took the liberty to upload a video review, which is kind of crappy, for the Club Nintendo Platinum Reward... Which is being uploaded as I type this on my phone.

The other info I had to inform you about, is that our fellow blogger, Chi You has been temporarily demoted to an author for posting a poll asking who was right, me or him. Not to worry, he has been informed and will be fully reinstated as a full admin before the turn of 2012.

Another quick note, I will also be making a video review for Mario Kart 7 as well as Super Mario 3D Land.

Thanks for reading,

Minecraft Requests

I am taking Minecraft creation requests if you don't know. It has to be something you won't censor or look like something you will censor. So, I will be able to make a lot of thing. I would prefer if you gave Minecraft city ideas. Sad face.

I have an emergency station, if you don't know, I have a visual tour of it. I have a church, inn, observatory, indoor shooting/bomb range, therapist, a brewer stand, a vendor, a well, a soup kitchen/homeless shelter, hunting store, cafe, a lighting shop and a color wool store.
Well, if you want to tell me a request either e mail me with the e mails at the side or post a comment.

Sad face.

Lucky Number 7

So over the weekend, my dad was supposed to buy me Mario Kart 7 from the NWS in NY City, but he ran out of money, so I was forced to get it today, after school. Anyhow, I ended getting it on the 6th instead of the 4th, like I was supposed to. I did however, get the 2 pin set from Gamestop (and an Yellow Bird plush) with the game.

Overal, the game has its many ups and downs (literally, with that damn hanglider), and one strong point the game has is something I have admired about Mario Kart since I used to play my N64, which is probably collecting dust somewhere in my basement, was the music used in Rainbow Road. The developers and composers that helped with this game gave it a unique feel, but the classic fanfare kicked in about halfway through the first "section" (longer courses, such as Wuhu Loop, Maka Wuhu and Rainbow Road have you complete three segments of the course, but only one lap). The way the music blended with the graphics almost made me cry myself to the finish line.

The gamplay that Mario Kart 7 has to offer is truly one-of-a-kind, in the sense that is has the virtue that it hasn't been done before. The 3D effects really add depth (pardon the pun) to the game, and the first-person-racer mode allows you to use the gyro controls to race. I still can't forgive Nintendo for putting Mushroom Gorge in this game...

The only area I think that this game lacked in was the characters. The game has some new characters, and the ability to customize your kart, but the characters you'd expect to be there have been replaced by some useless characters from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 64. Otherwise, this game was among the stars (literally, again with the hanglider), and is bound to be like it's predecessor, which has only dropped in price by 5$ in almost 4 years.

I give this game 99.5 hangliders out of 100.
