Rocky and Bullwinkle(XBLA) review

Rocky and Bullwinkle was an old children's show.For some reason,people prefered it as 'Moose and squirrel'.Well,let's not care about that.Basically,the game was release in April 2008.
It featured about 100+ mini-games,but the style and gameplay were OK.
The graphics can be bad to some,but I would say,"It's ok,it's not THAT bad."
The music and sounds were great(including the audience laughter).
The gameplay is somewhat similiar to Warioware,but weaker.
There's no storyline in the game,but you have to complete a set of mini-games based on a theme that are called 'shows'.
The good thing is,you can actually play with 11 other friends(that's 12 people) and,go on Xbox LIVE.
Overall,this game may have a bit of room for improvement,but it's good.

Quake

How do you feel when you are immersed in a dark world with mythical runes and strange beasts?Step into the shoes of Ranger,a man who has to stop an evil mastermind Quake,from coming into the earth and causing chaos through the 'slipgate'.Too late:Looks like they came into Earth first and started to killed people and robbing them.Fight mutant dogs too big for their size,an ogre carrying a chainsaw and shoots grenades at you and re-animated corpses(a.k.a zombies). And there's bosses as well.
Think that's all?Nope,there are more monsters such as the shambler and hell knights,but fear not,for you have an arsenal of weapons such as the double-barrelled shotgun that packs quite a punch,a rocket launcher that gibs enemies and the all-mighty electric gun that sends the weak into gibs in seconds and sends big daddies crying.
Other weapons are the axe,shotgun,machine gun,super machine gun and grenade launcher.
With 4 episodes and over 20 levels(including secret levels),traps,hard enemies(such as the bosses),8 weapons,items(such as keys or health...etc) and hazardrous enviroments,this is a must-play game(9.5/10).
Get a copy online(from steam),buy it from a store or get it shipped to you.
What are you waiting for?Get your copy now!

Small Arms(XBLA) review

Got this 2 weeks ago.
-Small Arms(XBLA)-
Small Arms is an interesting combination of Super Smash Bros,except it includes weapons,meat(health) and batteries(ammo).You get to choose from 12 different characters(14,if you downloaded the Igar and Gullap pack) and 7 maps(9 if you downloaded the Igar and Gullap pack).Overall,this game deserves a 8/10 which isn't bad at all!
-End-
There is still Marathon:Durandal and Arkadian Warriors to review on,along with other games.
So check back.

Metal Slug 3(XBLA) Review

I got this game about,4-3 weeks ago.
-Metal Slug 3-
Metal Slug 3 is a run-and-gun shooting game.The objective of each mission is to get to the boss and defeat the boss.Besides fighting Morden's soldiers,enemy tanks,submarines,planes,trucks and ships,you get to fight jellyfish,piranhas,zombies,mummies,bats carrying pots of acid,samurais,aliens,robots,mutated mosquitoes,maggots,mutated crabs,mutated snails,flies,a dragon(boss),giant robot(boss),a giant crab with cannon-shooting machinery on it's back(boss),alien space craft and mummy dogs.There are also giant moray eels,space rocks and lava rocks.
The interesting parts are that you can transform into a mummy and zombie.
Overall,this game deserves a 9/10.
But it costs 800 microsoft points :( .

EX fest:EXploding Bananas(WORMS the game)

-EX fest:EXploding Bananas!(from WORMS)-
I'm thinking about those bananas from Worms on the XBLA.
When you throw one,the bunch explodes.Then,the single bananas(about 3-5) bounce about and explode as well.It's powerful as well and could wipe out a group of worms(if their health is 60 or below) of course.The banana bomb is used for begginers.Why you say?'Cause they are explode everywhere,having 90% if damaging your enemies.

DMOD 1:Haunted

I'm working on a DMOD(A Dink Smallwood mod) entitled "Haunted".
However,it might not be published as I am too lazy these days to really work on such hard work.I'm,of course,a beginner in creating DMODs.
I like DMODs like Anarchy Halloween Party(must play) and Dukie's shooting gallery(nice,arcade styled shooting game).
-DMOD 1:Haunted-
STORY:Dink finds himself in an old but huge house.He discovers dark and worn-out portraits of the original owners,cold and dusty furniture and a strangely dark dining hall.
Notes:I made this part easy but frightening to get out of the old house.
He then,gets haunted by a ghost(the owner of the old house).
What will happen next(more appropriate question is:will Dink be haunted for life?)?Find out!
---
GRAPHICS:Ghost graphics and new furniture graphics are to be added.
Notes:I'll try to find some.
---
Sounds:Moody music(.mid) and screams(.wav) and ghostly "OOOHHHs"(.wav)to be added.
Notes:None.
---
Tiles:Re-use old tiles.
Notes:None.
-End-
Yep,that's all,folks!

Half-Life 2:Favourite enemies


I hope that the people who sees this post will comment on it and about their favourite monsters.
-HL 2:Monsters/Enemies I like!-
1.The humanoid combines
What can I say?These half-mechanical half-human creatures will do anything to dispose of you.
The super powered gravity gun will dispose them real quick,so does the crossbow(if you're a good shot),shotgun(if they're near) and the rocket launcher and grenades.
I had to admit,I saw a few of them waving to me and yelling,"Hi!" and then shooting the hell outta me(which was not real because he's signalling his mates to get outta the way).
The picture above shows the evolution from our ape ancestors to our future selves.
I ripped it out from Valve's store.I apologise for anything wrong.
Oh,and the third stage is called "Homo sapiens combinus" and the second,"Homo sapiens sapiens".
2.Normal headcrab zombies
These guys will not have anything in their way,and are controlled by their host headcrabs.
They make hideous groaning sounds when their on fire and love to slash at you with their arms.
Here's a tip:Aim at the host than the body of its victim.It only takes one good shot.
These zombies throws stuff at you,break wooden planks and walk around mindlessly.
They don't notice their surroundings(except for you,people and their friends(other zombies)).
As mentioned on Gamespot's "Zombie Or Not",they are claimed NOT to be zombies by zombie purist Alex Navarro.The reason?No mouths to bite,chew or spread the disease/infection.
After all,they are controlled by headcrabs.
3.Antlions
These insect looking creatures are although no match for Gordon,they are still fierce and attack fiercely.Their leader is more huge,powerful and kicks ass more.You'll need the shotgun which packs a good punch.Grenades,rocket launchers and explosive drums kill 'em quick.The best part of the game,is when you control these creatures.Yes,they'll think your their leader just with you holding an antlion bait.Throw these at different places to command them to go there or throw the bait at enemies to get your fellow mates to kill 'em all!
Squeeze the bait to make them follow you.The level where you controll these cool creatures?
It's Sandtraps in Half-Life 2.From the level Entanglement onwards,you won't control them. :(
-End-
There may be more,so check back this post often!

The Orange Box{Five Games,One Box

-The Orange Box!-
I've got this game and it includes HL 2(Half-Life 2),HL 2:E1,HL 2:E2,Portal and Team Fortress 2.Unfortunately,I don't have an Xbox Gold membership :( .But,the good thing is,I am happy with the rest of the games!
Half-Life 2 and it's series are so good,it kept me addictedPortal is cool,you get to mess around with physics and Laws of gravity.Need I say more?Team Fortress 2 has better graphics and more better maps.Of course,you'll need Gold membership.Everything in one box!Get it!

Dead Rising: How to defeat Cletus

UPDATED (21/12/2011)!
-Dead Rising: How to defeat Cletus-

Steps/Things to do:
Note: You do not have to bring guns or other weapons. What you need can be found in North Plaza (you can bring in other weapons such as Adam's chainsaw).
---
*What to get/Where to get them*
1. You can either get a few raw meat(make sure they're not rottten), cartons of milk or apples (get at least 2 or 3). You can find them at Seon's Food and Stuff nearby. Make sure you leave at least two spaces in your inventory.
2. Go to Ripper's Blades and get 2 katanas (or 3-4 if you're weak in terms of attacking).
*Directions to pyschopath*
3. You are ready to fight Cletus. Backtrack to where you came from until you can find a red sign saying 'Hunting Shack' and an arrow pointing to the right, into another route.
4. Continue down and open the doors of the shop (Hunting Shack).
5. A cutscene shows James who tries to get firearms but gets a stomachful of buckshot by Cletus.
---
*Fighting the psychopath*
6. Now, hide behind the shop display on your right where you start. It should be the one nearest to the counter.
7. Hide behind it and wait until Cletus stops his shooting.
8. While he is reloading, run up to him and slash him with the katana. Get back to your spot: behind the shop display.
9. Continue this process until Cletus is dead.A cutscene shows Cletus running out of the shop and into zombie James. He is then killed by 'James'.
10. You will recieve PP and gain to access his shop loaded with shotguns, sniper rifles,and pistols!

Extras:
1. If Cletus is drinking wine, take a shot of him with your camera to earn lots of PP. However, you'll need a quick trigger to do so.
2. Cletus has wine bottles behind the counter. If you are daring/desperate enough, grab them (although you might get hauled back if you're too late).
3. Getting too close to him results in him lifting you up and throwing you (which causes 1 life block to be depleted).

-End-
Hope this maybe of use to you.

Dead Rising

An Xbox 360 game I decided that was worth posting and blogging about.
-Dead Rising-
First of all,this good game offers greats sounds and good graphics.
The blood,however,is exaggeratedly too much.A punch at a zombie will cause blood to form blood splat on the floor,which is what you would get if you cut your wrists.
Graphics:9/10
Sound:10/10
Storyline:8/10(Zombie outbreaks caused by experiments gone wrong are pretty common.)
Gameplay:9/10
Overall:9/10
Worth:8/10
Replay value:10/10
The weapons in this game are scattered everywhere.In this game,you level up by earning PP.
PP is earned by killing zombies,defeating psychopaths(bosses),rescuing survivors,taking photographs and doing other things like running the treadmill in the shop 'Flexin'.
Leveling up gets you new skills and upgrading your attack levels and more.
You have to solve cases and get to do side-missions.Need me say more?
And yes,there are also costumes and weapons to be unlocked.Infinity mode and overtime mode are also unlockable.

Quake 2

I got the Quake 4 game for Xbox 360 and it included Quake 2 and the making of Quake 4 and I decided to write a review for Quake 2.
-Quake 2-
First of all,Quake 2 is awsome.The graphics maybe lame to some,but the gameplay is just awsome.There's more than seven cool weapons to use and fire and there's lots of enemies and gore.This game might be fun to me,but it's also creepy when enemies pop out and shoot you behind you.Other than that,the explosions look like a small atomic bomb explosion which is pretty cool and the death animations look good.Here's some game features:
-About 10 weapons to find and use!
-Armour,health,Quad damage,rebreather and more to pick up!
-Keys,CDs,switches and more things to use!
-More than 10 enemies and bosses!
-More than 15 levels and deathmatch levels!
-Old school graphics!
-Great 3D enviroment and atmosphere!
-Great sounds!
-Music by Rob Zombie and Sonic team!
-Obstacles like explosives,lava,acid,spike pits and traps!
-More than 5 deaths
-Includes deathmatches and cooperative matches
-Great storyline and cut-scenes
-You get to choose different character skins,choose a name and set options
If you can't resist this great game,get it NOW!
Total marks for Quake 2:
Graphics:9/10
Storyline:8/10
Sound and music:10/10
Total score:9/10
Can't get enough Quake?Order Quake 1,3 and 4 on ID software.
Go to the ID software website.Thanks!

Half-Life:2

-Half-Life:2-
Platform:PC,XBOX,XBOX 360
Licensed by:Sierra,VALVE
Rating:8.0(Not bad,you get to throw stuff around as a matter of fact!)
I played Half-Life:2 and one of the most scary and disturbing levels is...
-WE DON'T GO TO RAVENHOLM-
Yes,and that's Ravenholm.Its infamous for:
-being taken over by head crab zombies
-dark and gloomy
-abandoned
-having groans from zombies that can create noise pollution
-dead bodies and a load more random stuff.
-ZOMBIES-
The zombies can be such a pain but I found out
that they are also feeling pain themselves.
WARNING:DO NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THE TEXT BELOW
IF SUFFER FROM HEARTATTACKS OR ANY ILLNESS.
Yes,and the part I am about to tell you is creepy.
You know head crab zombies make alot of scary and loud noises.
But if you record a zombies groan(the main head crab ones) and
play the groan backwards,there will be horrifying voices.
You can hear them crying for help...creepy.....
If zombies are burned,the victim still could make out their surroundings.
Apart from having head crabs on their heads.
If you wanna take the risk and hear the groans played backwards,
go wikipedia.com and search for headcrabs.Scroll down to the first
zombie under the 'zombie' section.Click on a link that is the groan.
You may need media player if you don't.
-LIFE OF A HEADCRAB-
Enough about zombies and if a head crab kept a diary,
it might be like this:
7/5/06
I was born a few days ago and now I am hungry.
So hungry I could eat a horse.
I had luck and a huge watermelon fell from storeys above
and it came down splitting into many pieces.
I devoured hungrily on the remains of the chewy bits as well as the
juice(all headcrabs are omnivores).
I guess scavenging is my way of surviving.
18/5/06
I had a feast and guess what it is?
Some human threw a half-rotted fish on the floor
and I tucked into it until it was bones.
A few other head crabs met me and I am their friends....
Or foes.
25/5/06
Some of my friends communicated with me and told me
that Ravenholm is the town that we are in.
I guess Ravenholm wasn't such a bad place after all.
Fed on a dead bird.
1/6/06
I ate and ate until I am some sort of getting bigger.
Sad to say,some of my friends didn't survive.
A human blew them up with a dynamite.
Anyway,I found a whole apple and a few rats.
I stored the rats in my secret hiding place.
Ofcourse,I ate the apple.
12/6/06
I had all the rats devoured.
Nothing much.
A friend brought me news that scientists have come
to find a new weapon to destroy all aliens and
head crabs.Better hide.
21/6/06
I grew and found out that I am in
the stage of an adult.
A scientist tried to kill me but I jumped onto
him and devoured his face.It took time till he was dead
and he made a whole load of terrifying cries.
3/7/06
His head must be a skull and I
controlled him around terrorising the whole city.
Argh!This guy with glasses and in a funny suit shot me!
I am wounded...left to die.......argh.
Nah!I am kinda okay.Must control city.
-END-
Looks like have to go now...bye.

Habbo scams

They will give you 100 creds if you give them your password is a scam!!!Don't trust scammers as they will hack your account!!!Don't even trust things that dosen't need your username,password or even email!!!Don't call codes or phone numbers as they might be a lie and you end up paying for creds.In Habbo,many people will try to get their hands on your furniture or creds.Also,never give out you password or email.They are like a vase of flowers,once they break they never come back by their ownselves.Don't lend to anyone your furniture...even your best friend as once it is in your friend's hand,it will be gone forever.One more tip is to never press any keys the ask you to press,for example...
Scammer:Type your pass but don't press enter.Press keys ___ on your keyboard.
You:Ok.
Then,you look on the screen in shock...your pass is on the screen!How come?
Some times,pressing a few keys may be another way to activate some thing like press A+Alt can be a trick as it can be the "enter" key on your keyboard once you type your passoword.It's just an example...there might be other keys out there!Report the scammers!
Lastly,your password is NOT like butter so DON'T spread it!

A guide to THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2

There was a man name James.One day,the town was filled with zombies.Your mission is to shoot zombies,be the best in the highscore table.The zombies weak point is the head.Once you shoot the head it will fly out.And sometimes you see when zombies die,they turn into green goo stuff.
Some zombies carry axes and somtimes barrels.Otherwise,they may slash,scratch,bite or hit you.(See THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2 profile below.)When at the end of level there are bosses.
Well,there are weird creatures besides zombies.They can be worms,giant lizards and sometimes zombie fishes that jump out of water and bite you.Rescue hostages.Sometimes they give you a life/health pack.The bosses have weak spots too,one time when I play,there was a boss that is a gigantic crawling worm.
