Resident evil 4 real life

I am putting this on bc it is one of Mike Cargioli's favorites....I give him full credit for showing me these real life recreations of videogames... visit his site here...

This is hilarious...plus it pertains to video games...im going to add more later

Oblivion

This is an RPG game. At the start of the game, the player gets to choose his species and attributes for your character.

This is a very long game. The game starts out with your character following the king through a prison. He ends up dying and sending you on a quest to make sure the kingdom will be safe.

When i say this is a long game, I put over 100 hours into this game. The game lets the player choose the quests that he/she wants to go on. The main quest have to go in order, but the side quests can be done in any order. There are guilds in which the player can become the leader.

Having the freedom to do missions as you please is exciting. The player slowly builds up his attributes throughout the game and unlocks powers and magic.

Though this is an older game, it still makes the top 10

8/10

Need For Speed: ProStreet

To start off, this is a game that is unlike all the other Need For Speeds. This a more realistic racing game. It is one of the better ones.

The game starts out by giving you a car and you have to win it. You have to move up the ranks and knock off the street kings. (By knock off I mean beat in a race.) There are four different types of Races. Circuit, Speed, Drag, and Drift
Circuit- lapped races
Speed- High speed point A to point B
Drag- Drag race(Manual shifting)
Drift- Drift cars

A racing game is self explanatory. There are many races. The game is amazing.

ok...this has nothing to do with video games, but i just got done playing frisbee with Kufos!! yeah he is cool as shit...o well...thats all...until tomo when prostreet, oblivion and GH3!

Madden 08

This review is for the 360. The game is setup like the previous year of madden. Passing is the same and running is the same. The difference is in juking. The juking is now done with the majoity of the right stick. you flick the stick up and it gives the runner a Truck stick, or run the defender over. Side to side flick makes the runner do a sidestep. Flick the stick back and the runner will stop as if to miss a diving tackle.

The same goes for the defense. A tackler can use the right stick to hit the player with the ball. to flick it up, the tackler will hit the ball carrerier high and if it is flicked down, the tackler will dive at his feet. there is still spin move and dive, but they are done with the b and x.

The controls on the game are very responsive. I prefer this game over NCAA 08 because it is much faster, the players are more detailed and actually have names. This game also has the usual minigames you can play to make players better throughout the year but i usually skip this because i didnt buy the game for those. They are fun to play with friends and rub it in their faces when you bench more than they did ( when in reality they can bench more than you!!!)

The superstar career can be extremely hard or really easy. If you play as a skill position(running back, quarterback, reciever) it is easier to get into the hall of fame,(that is the ultimate goal) As a lineman or linebacker, it is really hard. we'll leave it at that.

quick update...

I will be uploading my reviews for my Top 10 360 games by wed. Wish me luck!!!

The Debate: Are videogames art?

I have been reading some articles online that suggest that games is not a form of art. These articles are followed by angry posts by readers about how they are unjustified accusations. These gamers, I assume, get angry and call the writers morons and idiots. (I will have to go back and link these pages so you can read them.)

The thing that I find interesting is the difference in art and video games is the emotion. I wouldnt consider all videogames art because there are so many different genres of games. When a person listens to music they enjoy, one can get a sense of feeling out of the music or it can envoke a certain emotion on the person because it reminds them of a point in their lives. They even call people who make music "artists."

Painting and sculpting are forms of art. They are probably the oldest forms of art. This is a guess of course. I am no scholar in this field. The art forms and can take many hours, days, months, or even years to finish. The end product is open to interpretation.

This is where I believe new videogames shine. They can take up to years to complete. Even though they are to make money, isn't that the ultimate goal in commercial painting and sculpting? The art work in a single level in a game alone can invoke fear, hate, love, and any other emotion one can think of. This can happen because the player is actively interacting with the person on screen. The game can give the player a choice to be cruel or nice. To kill or have mercy. This connection between the player and game come together.

Why do people feel emotion when they read poetry when they did not write it? Why do people love paintings so much, though they did not make it? It might be because they can connect to it. Maybe because people want more or from the art forms can help people disconnect from their reality. Videogames can evoke emotion, make money, take long periods of time to compile and be visually stunning. I believe videogames should be a form of art. If you don't think so, prove it.

Bioshock

This is a review for one of the craziest and awe-inspiring game I have ever played. (The storyline is twisted)


Bioshock starts off the game with a plane crash in the middle of the ocean. There seemed to be a small island close by.

well this is what is gonna happen. i love this game. i have been trying to write a decent review for this, but i seem not to be able to.

This is such a twisted story, Im not going to try and explain it.

Call of Duty 4

This is an amazing game. There are many different aspects of the game to be played. The single player campaign and multiplayer will be dissected.

The single player campaign is visually stunning. The start of the game is a training mission, just as all the other CoDs have in the past. This one differs from the rest because it is not constrained by the past. After the small training, the game recommends the level of difficulty based on how well the player went through the training. The first level starts out in a ship. it is one of the best looking games to date. This first level starts the action strong. Your allies take most of the enemies out. I will not give away what happens, but things get a little wet at the end of the level.

Infinity created an amazing game out of creativity. The variety throughout the game is amazing. The different weapons that are available make the replay value very high. My favorite is the javelin. it is a rocket launcher, but no ordinary rocket launcher. This weapon takes into effect that tanks have the most armor on the sides of the tank and least armor on top. This rocket goes high into the sky and plummets on top of the tank.

The levels format also have a nice variety. There are sniper levels, plane levels(my favorite because its like killing ants), and the normal run and gun levels. In certain situations, you get to use some interesting gadgets such as night vision and airborne strikes by planes and helicopters.

Some replay value is also in finding the enemies intel. This unlocks cheats in the single player campaign. They really don't do very much, like turning enemies into tires after killing them, giving unlimited ammo, or having cluster bombs.

This game truly shines online. The game maps are a wide variety and there are a bunch of people on so it is easy to find a match.( At least for me) Sometimes I get mad at the people because they get stupid, but all online games can get that way. The ranking system online is great. It is easier to rank up that the system that Halo uses. (If anyone understands how that works, I read up on the TrueSkill system and is sucks) Once you get up to the highest rank you have the choice to lose all your progress and start over with a symbol beside your name. Its kinda like "Yeah look at me, I'm better than you!"

This is an Amazing game!!! 10/10

Medal of Honor: Airborne

This is a review fort Medal of Honor Airborne for the PS3. This was a fun game. I had played the previous MoH on the PS2. this was a better version. There is no lives or continues. This game reverts back to the checkpoints and unlimited lives used on popular games such as Call of Duty 4. (the review will be up in a few days)

The gameplay is solid. It uses the same mechanics as the previous games in the series. There are some interesting points in the gameplay. Instead of there being hordes of soldiers coming at the player, the enemies have different classes. Each class has its advantages and weaknesses. it makes the gameplay varied.

The online is nothing to brag about. It is there, but compared to Resistance or Halo, there needs to be more work.

My last complaint is the games single player campaign. This game is VERY SHORT!!!! This is a game that everyone should rent. Luckily, my roommate bought the game and I didn't have a dime it it. The game is fun, but because the game is short and lacking in content, I cant see buying this unless it is in a bargin bin.

5/10

Devil May Cry 4

This first post will be for the Xbox 360. I am a newcomer to the Devil May Cry series. Getting to know the controls were surprisingly easy. There is a handicap for newcomers, such as myself, to pull of difficult combos in game by pressing a single button in certain combinations. Was very rewarding to see my character perform combos right off the bat.

The game has many cutscenes. They are B-E-A-utiful. In watching them, much of the story begins to unravel. One of the best parts in he story is switching characters. This brings a whole new dimension to the game. Instead of playing Nero, you play as Dante. Dante was the star in the previous Devil May Cry games. The game is not very long. It can be beat in under 10 hours. The best part in the game is the bosses. There are three main bosses in the first part of the game, when you are playing the character Nero. The sad thing with this game is the repeating. Once you start playing with Dante, you hav to go back through everything you just played through.

The many positives still go on. The difficulty levels give the game a definitely high replay value. There are also many different small side games that can be played, if found. This is a nice distraction, plus each one gives a power-up.

The last negative in the game is the voice acting. The only bad thing is sometimes it is so corny i want to punch the screen. Maybe it is just me but....

All in all, this gamer was one of the elite games for the 360.
