Must play - Contra Hard Corps

Hello everyone!!!! This is the first entry of many when I talk about a game that YOU (yes you the reader) MUST play the game. This weeks game is Contra Hard Corps!

                             

This game is for the Sega Genesis (obviously because of the box cover) and is the only contra game released for the Genesis. It is very similar to its counter parts (ie Contra, Contra 2 &3) except you can choose different characters. Instead of being forced to play as either Bill or Lance (if you were playing with a buddy,) you can now choose from 4 different people. They are:

• Ray Poward - Standard male soldier and the central figure in the Contra Hard Corps unit. His cool exterior hides a burning lust for battle.^[5]
  
• Sheena Etranzi - A female soldier and guerilla specialist.^[6]
  
• Brad Fang - A genetically and cybernetically altered
                               wolf-like humanoid with cannon for an arm.^[7]
• Browny - A small-sized combat robot. Officially known as CX-1-DA300.

Each of them have their own weapons but they all have the same type of weapon. Is that confusing? I don't want to get into much detail because I really want you guys/gals to go and play the game! Just play the game and you'll know what I mean.

You can get the game for about $30 on the internet like amazon and such, it is worth getting

but I know you guys/gals will find ways around paying it to play it :0

If you haven't played this game yet, I highly recommend that you do

because this is one of those few 16 bit games that has multiple endings!!!

It also allows you to choose the path you want to take, so the replay value is incredibly high!

Alright GO! and PLAY THIS GAME!!!!! :)  (click on game its a surprise :) don't worry it's not a screamer thing ok I personally hate that stuff and I would never do that. It is also going to open up a new window)

Universal Studios Hollywood update

Ok so we are heading home now and it was a fun day but I gotta say, the transformers ride was a real let down. I personally didn't like it and I hope I'm not giving any spoilers but it wasn't all that great.



The mummy ride is waayyy better in terms of delivery. First off the picture for transformers has people strapped in with the over the head strap. I was then like "oh cool an actual rollercoaster" but it wasn't, all it was is different screens with car movement.


Overall it wasn't great and I felt bad for the people who had to wait 70 (and up) mins. Yeahhh......well have an awesome day guys/gals :)

Universal Studios Hollywood

Hello everybody!!!!! Man it's way too early for me to be awake at this time but just wanted to say I'm spending an awesome day with my family at universal studios Hollywood!! I haven't been here since I was about.....12? Maybe?

Anyway it's been a long time now and it's great to be here again, they changed a couple of things so far but I'm just gonna enjoy myself before the summer ends.

So on that note go have fun everyone and make sure you go somewhere during the summer, cause if you don't, you'll be regretting it :) BYE!!!!

Mario Tennis Open game quickie

                                  

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog and today's game quickie is Mario Tennis Open for the 3DS.

To anyone who has played any Mario Tennis game will feel right at home, and for any newcomers, the game is very easy to pick up and quite addicting. Now there really Isn't a story mode here per say, but there are a total of 5 modes to play from but two of them are from multiplayer. The modes include: Tournament, exhibition, special games, local multiplayer, and online multiplayer.

Gyro view

Tournament and exhibition modes are practically the same. All it is, is you against the computer except in tournament mode, the CPU gets a bit harder as you progress while in exhibition, you can set the difficulty. Nothing really special here but it does teach you about the Gyro sensors and tells you how to utilize it or disable it. I personally disabled it because it wasn't that great, plus I like the overview or bird eye better :) 

Ring Shot

Super Mario Tennis

Galaxy Rally

The Special games is where it gets interesting and fun! There are 4 (I guess you can call them) mini-games which are: Ring Shot, Super Mario Tennis, Galaxy Rally, and Ink Showdown. In each of these games, they give you a certain task and as you complete each one, it'll get only a little bit harder. This is where you earn coins to spend in the shop but I'll explain that later. My personal favorite is the Galaxy Rally only because it's the easiest and fastest way of
earning more coins. 

Ink Showdown

Ok so the single player is great, but how's multiplayer?



It is AMAZING!!! I'm talking about online multiplayer here because I don't know anyone else that has Mario Tennis Open :'( but from what I've read and seen, it's pretty much like exhibition mode where you customize the game to your liking. Now getting back to the online multiplayer, You can either choose one of the characters from the game or use your Mii. When you use your Mii, you can customize him/her with the items that the Toads sell in the shop. This is where you spend those coins I was talking about.

Japanese version (couldn't find English version. sorry!!)

You can customize your Mii to your liking with experimenting with the items. Are you a tricky kind of person? or are you more into power? You can buy the items that you want to get your Mii to where you want it.

When you play online you can choose from either quick, extended, or either. The quick one is the first person to get to 7 points wins (8 if you are tied with your opponent at 6-6 because you need to win by 2 points) and the extended is a "best of three one-set match." Either.....well its either a quick game or extended :)

When you beat your opponent in an online game, you get a medal of the opponents Mii. This allows you to see who you have beaten and vice versa. Also you can unlock characters and costumes to use on you Mii through playing the game both online and offline.

Overall the game is really fun and is worth looking into. If you liked the other Mario Tennis games, then you'll most likely enjoy this one and is worth getting but, if you haven't played any Mario Tennis game (or any type of tennis game for that matter) then maybe look at some gameplay <---(click it to see a review on it) if you're not too sure about it.

I give this game 7/10 because.......well because it's tennis LOL but seriously its a good game and the multiplayer will have you hooked for a couple of days. Thank you for taking your time to read my game quickie and have an awesome day!!!   :)

Kid Icarus 3DS

 Hello everyone!!! This is a quick game review for "Kid Icarus Uprising" for the 3D

Kid Icarus Uprising - 3DS - Nintendo 3DS Games & Accessories

Lets begin!!! *clearing throat*

SO this game takes place 25 years after the original Kid Icarus on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System), and all of the story is told to you within the very first level of the game. The character you control is Pit and he serves Lady Palutena who sends you out on your missions.

The controls do take a while to get use to them but it works. The game also supports the circle pad pro which is good for left handed people, but there is also a "left handed controls feature" in the game who don't own a circle pad pro which is a nice touch because the developers put that into consideration.              

                           

The game play is very fun and highly addicting. The levels are chapters and broken into 2 stages each. The first stage will be in the air where Pit is flying to the destination that Lady Palutena is guiding him to. You will be shooting enemies along the way. Then in the second stage, you are on the ground and you work your way up to the boss. 

Now the game does support the 3d functionality but I personally don't use it in this game simply because it doesn't really need it. The game looks wonderful without it, plus it (at times) gave me a headache when I would move out of the "sweet spot" to see the full 3d effect. 

Single player is fun and great on its own merits and so is the multiplayer. You gain new abilities/weapons through both the multiplayer and the single player campaign. So whatever you get from multiplayer, you can use it in single player and vice versa. You can also fuse two different weapons to create a brand new one! Just be careful though because once you fuse 2 weapons, they are gone (unless you buy them in the shop or earn them). There is two modes to play which are: "Light VS. Dark" and "Free for all."

Light vs Dark is simply team deathmatch but with a twist. It is a 3 on 3 match and you share (what looks like to me) a health bar that depletes when you or your teammates get eliminated. Let me clarify, you have your own health bar and once you get killed or destoryed or eliminated, then the team's bar depletes. You come back to life so it's not a one life type of game. Also the more powerful your weapon is, the faster the team's bar depletes. Once it does, the last person that died turns into Pit or Dark Pit, depending on what team you are on. Then from there you must protect your Pit from being eliminated or go after the enemy's Pit. Free for all is just you against (I believe its) 4 other people so make sure you watch your back! 



This game is definitely worth getting because you will enjoy it, plus it comes with a holding stand and some AR cards which is really neat! If I had to give it a score, I'd give it an 8/10 only because I was hoping there would be more game modes for multiplayer. Maybe something like capture the flag except they are wings instead of flags or a game mode where you go out to save your Pit from the enemy team I dont know something like that :)


Anyway hope you enjoyed reading this and have an awesome day!!! :)
