This basically has the same characters as the N64 version. The only difference is that it has Sonic The Hedgehog and many more. This game is the original with a twist, you get more weapons and more assistance from other characters from popular video game franchise. With this game you can also play as Sonic or Solid Snake, as the original game you have side adventures and the big boss battles. This game will keep you entertained for hours and you won’t want to put this down. Online game play is one of the best thing that Nintendo could do to the Smash Bros. franchise, you can be playing people from all over the world and making friends that you can play with at a later date. This game is one of the best games you can pick up for the Wii and I recommend it for all who wants to just sit back and play games.

For those of you out there wondering this is my follow up to this controversy that has ensued throughout the world.
It’s officially banned from exchange stores on U.S. military bases, Britain’s Secretary of Defense is calling for a boycott, and even Jack Thompson has emerged from exile in an effort to stop the game from being released. All the while, EA has stood by its rebooted Medal of Honor, and now the publisher says an upcoming multiplayer beta for the game will prove its merit.

Electronic Arts announced the PC-exclusive open beta today, slotting the multiplayer mayhem for October 4. The beta will offer two maps (Kunar Base and Shahikot Mountains) and two modes (Sector Control and Combat Mission).

“The open beta of the Medal of Honor multiplayer mode will allow players to sample the authenticity and adrenaline-fueled action that the full game will offer on October 12,” Frank Gibeau, president of EA Games, said in a statement before addressing the recent controversy surrounding the Taliban as a playable faction in the multiplayer:

“We also hope that by offering the multiplayer open beta, we can clear up any misunderstanding about the patriotism and respect that are the foundation of this game. The Medal of Honor franchise has always shown extraordinary reverence for American and Allied soldiers — this game is no exception.”

For gamers more interested in the title’s gameplay than the controversy surrounding it, EA also confirmed that developer DICE is prepared to show off a much improved multiplayer experience from the one it offered in the closed beta in June.

Details on the most notable fixes from EA:
– Weapons pick-up system (pick up ammunition from downed enemies)
– Hit detection mechanics (accuracy of shot impact)
– Support actions were made more challenging
– The unlock tree was expanded and balanced making players ascension to Tier 1 status even more eventful
– A major graphics overhaul was implemented

The PC Medal of Honor open multiplayer beta will run through October 7. The game is set to launch for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on October 12.

I picked up Bleach Dark Souls as a game just to kill time when I was traveling to and from work but I automatically found myself playing the game during work and whenever I had a little bit of free time. Yes the graphics are grainy its not your top of the line game but hey its on the DS not the PSP there is a big difference in resolutions. Besides that the featured game play has arcade mode, story mode and others. The arcade mode is free play basically you fight a preset rooster and if you win you win money that you could spend Urahara shop, the items include different outfits, moves, backgrounds etc. The only thing is that this game is not worth sitting for hours with its the type of game thats used for casual gaming. Besides I am an anime nerd (Yes Nerd!!) I like anything that is anime so when I saw the game I had to pick it up.

This game is a blast from the past, this is a title vamped from the past. this game is fun and addictive the same the game has more power ups, like the fly hats, a penguin suit (literally), fire power and ice power. This game is one of the best games ever made, this game has all of the original levels and same bad guys the only difference is that you can fight with all these new gadgets and power ups. I recommend it for all who love Mario.

So far from what i have played, and seen on online mode Halo Reach has been a huge success. The controls are so easy that anyone can pick up a control and start playing Reach, that is what many newcomers like about the game. With over 30 million people playing at any given time I am proud to say that I am one of those people. Bungie has outdone themselves this time. For those of you that have played the beta but not the actual game yet, Reach is just like the beta the only difference is that there are more weapons and more things to chose from. The Forge mode of Reach is awesome, it allows you to choose a place and build your own map that you and your friends or anyone in that matter can play. You also have an awesome mode called invasion, with this you are being overrun-ed by the enemy swarm and you have to kill as many as you can before they kill you. The good thing about this game is that you can get achievements easily if you are familiar with the Halo games. Some are plain simple like a head shot or so. To get back to what I was saying Bungie has outdone themselves and I give this game 5 out of 5. For sticking to the basics and not straying off the path the we all got to know and love. This is one game we wont put down for a while.

If you’re a hardcore FPS multiplayer … player, odds are you’ll see the business end of Halo: Reach’s loading screen countless times over the next few months. According to a quick test conducted by Examiner, you’re going to want to install Reach to your hard drive if you value your free time, as doing so reportedly cuts down load times drastically for just about all of the game’s modes.

Some of the sped-up load times are too fast to resist — for instance, according to Examiner, an installed Reach can load a custom game in 9.7 seconds, as opposed to 28.7 seconds uninstalled. That would give us an extra 19 seconds to spend getting shot over and over and over again!
