Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters first impression
The first episode aired this morning so I quickly found and watched it. It was un subbed so I couldn't understand them very well I still found it very enjoyable. The references to power rangers where cool, the spy theme made me like the costumes, and the CG is much better this time around. When the subbed episode is out I will re watch it them maybe be able to give more details.

Genesis Boxing games part 3 (George Foreman)
Genesis Boxing games part 2 (Evander Holyfield)
On October 25, 1990 James Buster Douglas had lost the title on his first defense against Evander The Real Deal Holyfield so he got a game to. This review is not nearly as good as I was hoping but after many failed recordings I just scraped together whatever I could. I give this video the same score as the game. Also listen for the MJC2021 reference.

Platinum Platformer Awards 2011 (FINAL PART)
BEFORE WATCHING, PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BOX!
Please watch Part 1 & 2 before watching Part 3 of the Platinum Platformer Awards 2011
This episode was brought to you by the Boochow 2011 Awards!
Now that we're in the last part of the Platinum Platformer Awards 2011, it's time to finish this award show. We got a total of 4 rounds in one video.
Round 6 I judge on how long the platform game is actually. The best ones in history had some of the most gameplay hours and at times the biggest replay value. But at the same time there are still Platformers today that are too short, ruins the experience and cannot be considered to be the greatest of all time.
In the 7th Round, I'm going to judge each of the standing games based on their difficulty or challenge. The rules are, the least difficult or challenging game is the one eliminated. I believe the best platformer has to provide great challenge in which is very lacking in a lot of games today.
Then in the 8th Round, I judge on creativity, which the least creative game is the eliminated. This is tough because the ones still standing in this competition has their level of creativity and it is the most difficult round to judge for me. But I had to make this round short due to the fact that we NEED to get to the Final Round!
And finally THE FINAL ROUND OF THE PLATINUM PLATFORMER AWARDS 2011! I want to be very clear, this is my opinion! I know that I upset a lot of people with my decisions in the other rounds. Just to let you know that not everyone has the same opinion as every other and since this is my award show; this is my official decision of my favorite Platformer of 2011.
Thank you all for watching this years Platinum Platformer Awards, see you in the PPA 2012, and stay tuned for my upcoming videos!
Platinum Platformer Awards 2011 (Part 2)
Before watching this video please watch the first part of the Platinum Platformer Awards.
Continuing on from what was left off from Part 1, in part 2 of the Platinum Platformer Awards 2010, we cover Rounds 3, 4, & 5 in one video. On the third round we judge the most important thing in Platformers; of course, [platforming!] XD How much fun & exciting it actually is just jumping & landing on platformers and how many new ideas did the game offered in their platforming segments.
On the forth round I judge on innovation. Let's be honest, Platformers have offered more innovation in the past than any other genre out there. That's why almost every one of them is very from each other. But here I judge on how different it looks compared to other platformers out in the past and how much it stretches and expands the genre as a whole.
Lastly on Round 5 I judge on collectibles because some of the best platformers of all time had some of the most rewarding collectibles in which it makes completing the game with 100% completion worth a damn. The one with the least rewarding & least amount of collectibles is out of the competition.
Platinum Platformer Awards 2011
Click here to listen to the Boochow! 2011 Awards Special!
This is an independent internet award event dedicated to only Platformers. In which any kind of [good] platformer can be in this award show - 2D Platformer, Metroidvania, Cinematic Platformer, 3D Platformer, Puzzle-Platformer, just as long as they have jumping and numerous of platformer to land on. Hope you enjoy this one and please don't get easily offended on my opinions because I'm being VERY critical in judging these nominees as the best Platformer of 2011. That is all
Rocket: Robot on Wheels review
Hey! Does anyone know that Sucker Punch Productions has made a game before Sly Cooper? Here it is Rocket: Robot on Wheels, regarded by many as the most underrated Nintendo 64 game. Here in this review examine what Rocket shares in common with many 3D Platformers at the time and also the innovations, creativity, and originality the set itself apart from being generic. This is a very interesting look at retro gaming because it has a lot of innovations that we all take for granted today in gaming. This review will show every Nintendo 64 owners why this game is worthy enough to be in anyone's Nintendo 64 collection!
Monkey Island reviews (Part 4) - Escape from Monkey Island & Tales of Monkey Island
http://www.archive.org/details/BoochowRadioPodcast-Episode22-VideoGameGenres
And before anything else, makes sure you check out Hannu "The Hande" Mรคkinen's channel and subscribe to him because he worked hard on this review with me. He's my favorite YouTuber on the whole website offering original reviews and Top 10 lists that's so entertaining to watch!
http://www.youtube.com/user/HandeToon
Now that we're on the last part of the Monkey Island series review, Hannu and I are going to do two game into one; The Escape from Monkey Island and Tales of Monkey Island.
We start with Escape from Monkey Island where it's the biggest change to the series, not because the series made it to 3D, but it abandoned the point-and-click gameplay and focused on key-board interfaced adventure gameplay like Grim Fandango. It's a love or hate thing, but check out weather we like it or not.
Afterwords, we review Tales of Monkey Island where it has been 9 long years without a Monkey Island game, since LucasArts abandoned making anymore adventure games and focused more on Star Wars games, instead the game was developed from Telltale Games who carried on the adventure game genre. Unlike the rest of the Monkey Island games, it's released episodically and returned the point-and-click gameplay.
We all hoped that you enjoyed our reviews on each game of Monkey Island series, be sure check out the latest episode of Boochow and Hannu's YouTube page.
Monkey Island reviews (Part 3) -The Curse of Monkey Island
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sM1ntxu6B4&lc=rk6HuW_9-kHdryuYWuAQvn5VLar...
Finally we are in Part 3 of the Monkey Island review series and Hannu and I are going to review what we consider one of our favorite adventure games of all time, The Curse of Monkey Island. We want an entire part of this review series to be on just one game because it pays a significant part to the adventure game genre because as a sequel to the series, it not only improved on everything on past games but when an extra mile in creating such a terrific game. It was 6 years since the last Monkey Island game was created and now here in Curse of Monkey Island, using the best technology at the time, LucasArts put in everything to create such an awesome game. They added better quality of music, better engine and graphics, terrific puzzle challenges, and some of the best voice acting that you can ever find from games back in the 90's. Check this review and see why we LOVE this game and see why it deserves much more appreciation!
UPDATE: We're almost done with the Monkey Island series reviews so we're making Part 4 into two games into one review just so I can catch up with the videos that I'm heavily on scheduled to do. So stay tuned for Escape from Monkey Island and Tales of Monkey Island coming soon!

Monkey Island reviews (Part 2) - Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge & Special Editions
After watching this video Click This Link to watch Part 3
As a continuation of our Monkey Island series review, here in Part 2 Hannu and I are going to review Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge and the Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge: Special Editon. First we review Monkey Island 2 and keep in mind that our views on this game is just our opinions so please don't take this review too seriously because we have a bunch of problems with it. And next we review the Special Editions of Secret of Monkey Island & Monkey Island 2. We examine the major differences LucasArts has made with both of the Special Editions; looking at the graphical improvements, voice-acting, soundtrack, and other changes & features offered in this game. We're going to say it right now, if you haven't played either one of the Special Editions, buy it now it's worth all your time experiencing such a hilarious adventure game series despite the fact that we both chose one of the first two Monkey Island games over the other.
Till next time, in Part 3 we take a look at The Curse of Monkey Island and see why it's considered by many as the best point-and-click-adventure game ever created!

Monkey Island reviews (Part 1) - The Secret of Monkey Island
I am of course reviewing the Amiga version instead of the Special Editions which almost everybody prefers. Like how I did with the Sly series, I instead want to give appreciation & recognition to this classic and show everyone what the original is like rather than ignoring the history and pay attention to the one with better graphics. This game is a lot of fun, very challenging, very funny, adventurous, incredibly creative, and overall an excellent game. If you haven't played any Monkey Island game yet, it's HIGHLY recommended to play the Secret of Monkey Island.

Sly & Us - Part 2 (Sly Collection & Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time)
Before watching this video please watch Part 1 of this Vlog first!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIOUk12uOTw
Now here in Part 2, Amuia and I discuss about the Sly Collection that was released a year ago and what we think of the collection itself. Then we give off our thoughts of Sly: Thieves in Time. Keep in mind that this video was made before I went to the Tokyo Game Show 2011 and actually tried the Sly demo there, so with that being said we're only discussing about what we know of the game at that time. So we're pumped and highly anticipated to play Sly 4: Thieves in Time when it comes out.
Also be sure to check out my past reviews of the Sly games if you haven't already

Sly & Us - Part 1 (Sly Trilogy PS2)
DECLAIMER - we made a lot of mistakes in this Vlog. I mispronounce Jean Bison, we forgot many of the characters names, and we missed alot of things in this video, but we don't care about it nor do we want to hear about what mistakes we've made because we now know about them and we CAN'T change a single thing in this Vlog, so please enjoy this video without having any complaints. And keep in mind that are plenty of "SPOILERS" if you haven't played the game, so be warned.

Here in this Vlog, I'm joined with my best friend Amuia and as promised, we're going to review the Sly series in chronological order. Since the Vlog took over 30 minutes we can only divide the Vlog in to two parts. Here in Part 1 Amuia and I are making a brief overview of each game of the trilogy on the Playstation 2. In Part 2 we cover up the Sly Collection and then give off our opinions on the up-coming Sly 4: Thieves in Time.
Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves review
Zookstar1000 Already reviewed Sly 3 on his channel, so please be sure to check that video out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcUitIniB8I
Since Zookstar1000 did so much work on this review, he deserves most of the credit done in this review. Please be sure to check out his channel, subscribe to him, and give him your support! Thanks a ton for your help, Zook!
http://www.youtube.com/user/Zookstar1000
Later in a couple of days, I'll soon post a Vlog of me discussing about the Sly games with my best friend Amuia as a promise to him to review his favorite series with me. So stay tuned for more videos in this month of October!
Sly 2: Band of Thieves review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-uqrv6JD7c
Now that we're at the sequel, Sucker Punch made a drastic change to the series with not only improving the stealth & platforming gameplay, but make this game a sandbox game a swell with new playable characters such as Murray and Bentley. This game is bigger, darker, longer, and more action-packed than it's prequel. Together, Gexup & Zookstar take a very close look at the second Sly game as it continued the innovative blend between 3D Platforming with the Stealth-Action genre. Also, be sure to stay tuned for the last Sly games of the trilogy to review and a Vlog with Amuia & Gexup coming right up afterwards. We still remained on showing the PS2 version to give respect to our favorite console and show everyone what it's like.
Also be sure to check out Zookstar1000's channel and check out all of his videos. Give him support and please subscribe to this wonderful reviewer

Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus review
So I decided to get someone else to replace him and it's Zookstar1000, one of my favorite reviewers. He's an expert on the Sly series and having him on board is a no brainer.
Together, Gexup & Zookstar take a very close look at the first Sly game as it offered an innovative blend between old-school 3D Platforming with the Stealth-Action genre. This is a true Playstation 2 classic and it deserves more attention to everyone of all ages. It game is filled with challenging, but fun gameplay, clever level designs, laughs, and more. This is where the most overlooked series first started. What better way to show appreciation and promote the up coming Sly 4 than reviewing the first Sly game. Also, be sure to stay tuned for the next Sly games to review and a Vlog with Amuia & Gexup afterwards. And before you ask, this is Playstation 2 footage, not from the Sly Collection on the PS3, though it is a VALUABLE collection and it has clearer picture, we want to show what the game really is like on the Playstation 2.
Also be sure to check out Zookstar1000's channel and check out all of his videos. Give him support and please subscribe to this wonderful reviewer

Vlog 9/18/11 - Tokyo Game Show 2011
Well I'm joined with my brother who wants to do an observation with me on today's trip to the Tokyo Game Show 2011. It was a fun time, but it could have been better if Amuia came with us. BTW, before you ask why I haven't posted the review of any of the Sly games yet, well, ask Amuia because all I'm doing is waiting for him to finish his job with the review.
Also, be sure to check out our trip to last year's Tokyo Game Show 2010 & see how much we've struggled to get any footage, which is the reason why my brother and I are going a Vlog.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUNhP_a6CtE
There are laughs, rants, and surprises in this Vlog. If you're wondering what soundtrack I'm using for this video, it's from a video game called "The Neverhood," awesome soundtrack, all rights reserved to DreamWorks Interactive.
Vexx Review
Video Game Genre - Fighting Games
(Episode 6) In this episode of Video Game Genres, we take a look at one of the most popular and socializing game genres ever. This is a genre that focuses more on action on one or more various opponents that takes time and skill in beating anyone that stands in your way. It doesn't exactly have an adventure like other action video games, but sets you immediately to fight against an opponent set in a stage limited with such room, health, and move sets. Thus in the longest episode of the Video Game Genres series, I'll be taking a close look at the origins of the genre, games that defined the genre and changed everything, how a fighting exactly works when playing any of them, things in common towards all fighting games, naming the subgenres, negatives, and more. Still to this day, Fighting Games have been the number 1 pick up and play competitive gameplay that grew a rapid wild audience around the world. Since fighting games kinda went downhill in the 90's and struggled to get back to the top as the best competitive gameplay in the industry. My duty is to promote this video game genre and show you guys what many of these games have to offer; challenging, intense battle with CPU or other players.
I can't believe that this whole episode is nearly 30 minutes and I plan not to make a review this long ever again, but for this episode of Video Game Genres, it must be this long because of how much elements and features that needs to be discussed, plus all the videos that needed to be recorded. Really, it was this very video that was the reason why I haven't posted a video in almost over a month. It was a VERY hard video to make and I did it because it's been a very long time since there was an episode of this video series so I hope it was worth it =) One more thing, I plan to NOT to make the episodes of Video Game Genres to be in HD because I don't want past episodes of the series to look outdated when they never were in HD. So I'm doing my best to make the episodes more focused on quality of information rather than how good it looks. Don't worry, my reviews and all my other videos will be in HD, but not episode of Video Game Genres. Anyway, I'll do my very best to make another 3D Platformer review coming soon!
BTW, the next episode of the BOOCHOW! Radio Podcast will be recorded next week, so be sure to stay tuned for our 20th Episode BOOCHOW! Special!!!
Oddworld Quintology (Part 2) - Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ud8RxH_z8k
Finally, the long awaited Oddworld Quintology Part 2 has finally arrived. In this part of the Oddworld Quintology I'll be reviewing Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee for the Xbox. The reason why it took me so long to do this review is because the information on this game was very little and some part of the review I never got a full answer so don't expect that I have them all. Usually when I review a single game, it takes about up to 15 minutes, but since there has been SO much that hasn't been mentioned about Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, I have to step in and finally talk about this forgotten game that everyone seems to overlook or never really thought of. Clearly this game is more than meets the eye and it's something that many 3D Platformer fans, such as I, could enjoy.
Part 3 of the Oddworld Quintology is going to me reviewing Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath and unfortunately it's going be a long time till that review is posted because like Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, there's not enough information about the game and it's going to slow me down on this tight schedule of games I want to review. So enjoy Oddworld Quintology Part 2 Munch's Oddysee.
My Top 10 Hardest Missions in Jak 2
Viewer discretion is advised!
__________________________________________________________
Since it has been over a year since Naughty Dog vs. Insomniac Games has ended, I want to bring tribute to my biggest accomplishment in making that versus series in doing a Top 10 Hardest list of everybody's favorite part of the versus series; of course Jak 2.
I want to be clear that this is one of my favorite games made by Naughty Dog but I will not just let my love for this game to be overlooked due to it's VERY memorable high level of difficulty. So this is my Top 10 list of the Missions of Jak 2 that angered, frustrated, & hurt myself in trying to beat this game. So as we go through this list I'll be bringing back my painful memories of this game and at the same time show me actually trying to beat the game in a live recording showing you guys how exactly angry I was with these missions.

UPDATE!!!! - It's kinda funny but I wanted to finish my final review of Dreamfall: The Longest Journey before this video, but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting from posting one of my most anticipated videos of 2011 voted by you guys. On my next video I will do a review like no other; "Reviewing the Game's Story, and only the story" So if you haven't seen a walk through in Dreamfall yet, just click on this link and go through the walkthrough from beginning to end to know why I desperately care about this story since I called it the "Best Video Game Story I've Ever Seen"

ANOTHER UPDATE!!!! - The latest episode of Boochow! Radio Podcast is up... but not on PodOmatic.com. I don't know why, but the website refused me to post anything on their site unless I pay over $100 to "Go Pro." So I say fuck it and just post the episode on Archives.org!

So that's all I have to say for now. Enjoy My Top 10 Hardest Missions in Jak 2
Vlog 6/10/11 - I'm Back
After being gone for 2 month hiatus, it's great to comeback to Japan and do what normally do. I'm here to talk about what has happened to me and my family while we evacuated out of Japan and my upcoming videos. I made few mistakes in this Vlog, but I don't really care, we all make mistakes. It was a rough ride, but it's great to have everything back to where it was hoping that there wouldn't be another earthquake. Also, the next episode of the Boochow Radio Podcast is coming very soon! As of the recording of this video, we'll be recording the next episode of the podcast.
The Longest Journey & Dreamfall: The Longest Journey review
I wanted to review these games because it has been in my attention for the past couple of months. Ignoring them would mean I missing a great opportunity of promoting these games. First thing I do in this review is to review the first game, The Longest Journey, excursively for the PC.
Here, I judge it's presentation and how well it does play as an adventure game, which I am critical when it comes to games that are considered the "greatest of all time." I'll tell you why I like these
Then next in this video, I'll be reviewing the sequel Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. I'll do the same with reviewing this game just like it's prequel. Is Dreamfall a true sequel to The Longest Journey? Well, find out in this review and see why both the Longest Journey & Dreamfall: The Longest Journey has been on my attention for the past couple of months.
_________________________________________________________
--UPDATE: This will be my last review on an adventure game until further notice. I will however return reviewing Platformers... two weeks from now
...because of Final Exams DX
--NOTICE: Sorry for the crappy visuals for the Longest Journey. I always have a VERY hard time to get good quality on an old PC game. I had the same trouble with Grim Fandango and other 3D PC games, (2D PC games are easy)
Gexup's Vlog 3/11/11 - Japanese Earthquake & Tsunami
Since I live at the North, we all felt the Earthquake. We had a lot of Earthquakes, monthly, but they were just little shakes, however, today was the worst one yet. Where we were at, we had 10 Earthquakes happening, and that's scary!
When I got home from Emergency Evacuation, I just found out that there's a Tsunami disaster happening at the South. But thankfully, I'm safe now. So thank you all for your support
Forgive me if I studded a in this video, but I'm not really used to speaking on a camera, but it has been a pretty rough day for me. So what do you say; You want more Vlogs from me?
Still Life review
This is my first review on an adventure game since my review on Grim Fandango in my Tim Schafer tribute. This is one of my favorite adventure games, mainly because of the AWESOMENESS of the main character, Victoria McPherson. The version I'm reviewing is on the Xbox and it's a VERY different experience (in terms of gameplay) than on the PC. I hope you guys like this review because at the end of the video I'll show you guys why Victoria McPherson is my favorite "female" video game character EVER!
____________________________________________________________________
--UPDATE: I'm going to do one more review on an adventure game that has been on my mind for the past couple of months. The next video game I'm going to review is something I grew a passion for and that I want to do more than just a review, I REALLY want to heavily discuss about it. Afterwards, I'm going back in reviewing Platformers and all the other games I really wanted to review in a very long time.

Beyond Good & Evil Review
I decided to make this the right time to do the review because there's going to be an HD remake on this game that is truly a must buy. It has beautiful scenery, memorable & lovable characters, emotional plot, outstanding gameplay, phenomenal presentation, and all the qualifications to be as the greatest game of all time. Beyond Good & Evil is the game that everyone should experience and you'll see why in this review!
If you like this review, share it to somebody who hasn't played it already because it will be a wasted opportunity if it's too late for them to play it.

Platinum Platformer Awards 2010 (Final Round)
Now that end is near, I want to be ver clear, this is my opinion! I know that I upset a lot of people with my decisions in the other rounds. Just to let you know that not everyone has the same opinion as every other and since this is my award ceremony, this is my official decision of my favorite Platformer of 2010... minus Limbo.
BUT BEFORE WE NAME THE WINNER...
I'm going to rant with every one of the standing nominees of the Final Round showing you guys my frustrations, issues, and problems I have with these games because I have a ton of them! So don't feel like I'm one sided
________________________________________________
One more thing, whatever I name the winner of the Platinum Platformer Awards 2010, it's NOT exactly my favorite Game of the Year. If you want to know check out the Boochow 2010 Awards!!!
Hope you all enjoyed these awards and stay tuned for next year's Platinum Platformer Awards 2011 and stay tuned for my next review coming soon!
Platinum Platformer Awards 2010 (Part 4)
Here in Part 4, we only have two rounds. In the 7th Round, I'm going to judge each of the standing games based on their difficulty or challenge. The rules are, the least difficult or challenging game is the one eliminated. I believe the best platformer has to provide great challenge in which is very lacking in a lot of games today.
Then in the 8th Round, I judge on creativity, which the least creative game is the eliminated. This is tough because the ones still standing in this competition has their level of creativity and it is the most difficult round to judge for me.
I know I've been keeping you guys waiting, but the next video is the FINAL ROUND!!!
See you all on at the FINAL ROUND!!! ...Are you Ready?
Top 10 Gexup-Moments in 2010
So this is my Christmas Present to you tell you all what I know are the best moments I've done on YouTube this year. These are the parts of my videos that I never get tired of watching over & over again! Also there is a BIG surprise at the end that you will want to see! XD
UPDATE: The Platinum Platformer Awards is almost complete. Sorry I couldn't finish it on Christmas so thank you all for your patients.
Once again... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!
Platinum Platformer Awards 2010 (Part 3)
Now on Part 3 we have Round 4, 5, & 6.
On Round 4 I judge on Innovation. Let's be honest, Platformers have offered more innovation in the past than any other genre out there. That's why almost everyone of them are very, if not completely different, from each other. But here I judge on how different it looks compared to other platformers out in the past and how much it stretches and expands the genre as a whole.
Then On Round 5 I judge on collectables because some of the best platformers of all time had some of the most rewarding collectibles in which it makes completing the game with 100% completion worth a damn. The one with the least rewarding & least amount of collectables is out of the competition.
Lastly on Round 6 I judge on how long the platform game is actually. The best ones in history had some of the most gameplay hours and at times the biggest replay value. But at the same time there are still Platformers today that is too short that it ruins the experience and cannot be considered to be the greatest of all time.
So see you guys in Part 4. Also, this is copy right fair use of Old Yeller borrowed in this video.
Platinum Platformer Awards 2010 (Part 2)
Now since we finally made this award ceremony into a versus series, in part 2 of the Platinum Platformer Awards 2010, we cover Round 1, 2, & 3 in one video. On the first round we judge on [design], NOT GRAPHICS. We judge on how much creativity each game has to offer and now nice the game actually looks and feels going through from beginning to end.
On the second round I judge on [soundtrack &/or sound]. How well the music & sound effect actually is nice to hear through our ears. Some of the best platformers had some of the catchiest music we can ask for and at time some of the most well recognized sound effects.
On the third round we judge the most important thing in Platformers; of course, [platforming!] XD How much fun & exciting it actually is just jumping & landing on platforms. And some of the best platformers were always remembered for the best platforming.
Platinum Platformer Awards 2010
This is an independent internet award event dedicated to Platformers. In which any kind of platformer can be in this award show - 2D Platformer, Metroidvania, Cinematic Platformer, 3D Platformer, just as long as they have jumping and numerous of platformer to land on.
Our nominees are, Rocket Knight, Super Mario Galaxy 2, MegaMan 10, Super Meat Boy, The Sly Collection, Epic Mickey, Limbo, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Sonic the Hedghog 4 & Sonic Colors.
Since this is the BEST line of platformers that came out in a very long time, it's sad to see that no other video game award ceremony will give a decent award to Platformers (like the shitty Spike TV VGAs) It's about time to give more appreciation to all the platformers that game out this year and for me to decide on what I think is the best...
for that you have to see it in Part 2, 3, & 4 because I've decided to make this award ceremony into a versus series. It's the biggest one since my Naughty Dog vs. Insomniac Games. This time I'm battling out all 12 nominees in 9 Rounds and eliminating the looser for each Round till the final round just to see the best platformers that came out this 2010.
Duke Nukem 3D review
Also, there's a "High-Resolution Pack" that is legally downloadable for free to update the graphics for Duke Nukem 3D for the PC. All you need is any of the versions of Duke Nukem 3D in your PC and click on the fallowing sites to download the HRP, mods, and more from 3D Realms's site.
http://hrp.duke4.net/
http://www.3drealms.com/
I grew up with Duke Nukem 3D since I first played it on the N64 at age-6 and still it hasn't lost its appeal for me. I still keep Duke Nukem in my heart and enjoyed the hell out of the series. I've been waiting for Duke Nukem Forever for a very long time and I'm more than excited to play this game and FINALLY playing something original in FPS.
My Top 10 Cinematic Platformers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMuoEL0Pmi4
I know I only did three videos on Cinematic Platformers, but it was a lot of hard work getting everything recorded and doing research before doing my videos and it feels a little incomplete doing a Top 10 with a lot of reviews left undone. So here it is, "My Top 10 Cinematic Platformers" in which I'm doing my very best to put tribute to all the games in this category of games in it's full potential and respect that it deserves!
Another World & Heart of Darkness review (Eric Chahi tribute)
Another World itself is one of the most inspirational games ever created and most amazingly, Eric Chahi created the entire game all by himself and you need to see this video for my opinion of the game. 7 Years later, he created Heart of Darkness which itself was also a great game, minus the cutscenes.
This is perfect for my Cinematic Platformer month and what better time than to do this video. One more thing, it's has been years since we've heard of Eric Chahi himself, since Heart of Darkness, but he finally announced his next upcoming game and it's called "From Dust" and I don't know much about the game, but judging by the footage I saw on E3 '10, it looks a lot different than any other game I've seen this far & since Eric himself has created some of the greatest games ever this is going to be good. From Dust has become my most anticipated game of 2011 and I can't wait to try it out!
Oddworld Quintology (Part 1) - Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee & Exoddus review
Video Game Genre - Cinematic Platformer
Also it feels like nothing is done after doing this video so the rest of November I'm going to do many reviews on some of the best games in this subgenre and by the end of the month, I'm going to give you guys "My Top 10 Cinematic Platformers" in which I'll be naming some of the best games in order, in my opinion. This subgenre has really caught my attention that I'm surprised that not that many people talk about this more. So I'm here to do my very best in promoting this subgenre and get you guys to see these games the way I see them. So I hope that you guys learn something in this video and if you want some more videos on Cinematic Platformers, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!
Scary Games & Me (Part 2)
Please watch Part 1 first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvVnQPb5IXY
As I finish off my favorite memories with horror games, I'm getting to the part where there are games that scared me in my young adult days. These are again, in no particular order what are my favorite scary games are, just my brief history with horror games from beginning to end. So I hope you enjoyed this video, and Happy Halloween, everybody!
Scary Games & Me (Part 1)
These are in no particular order of what my favorite scary games are, but are my most nostalgic scary moments that I had in my years in gaming from beginning to this day of gaming. I haven't done a video like this since "Donkey Kong & Me," but I want to do this because a lot of you guys wanted me to talk more about scary games after completing "Video Game Genres -- Survival Horror." So this is my last Halloween Treat for you guys so enjoy this video and stay tuned for Part 2!
Video Game Genres - Survival Horror
part 2
games in general.
Gex Trilogy review
Gex, I'm going to review not just the original Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, and Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, but all three of them into one video, plus a better job than the original reviews.
This video took me weeks to finish due to technical difficulties with my PS3 being recorded on my DVD recorder (aka the original Gex). So the quality of the original Gex won't be as good as Gex: Enter the Gecko or Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko (which I recorded them on my PS1). It feels great to make another Gex video because he is one of my favorite games from my childhood and it would be wrong to just forget him.
A lot has happened since my first review on Gex: Enter the Gecko, but I think it's about time to make a step back to what I was doing and do something that other people would not do. So I hope that you guys like this video.
My Top 10 Killer Instinct Tracks
So here is my favorite tracks that always gets me in the mood to make Ultra Combos. So I'm only counting Killer Instinct Arcade, Killer Cuts (the CD), Killer Instinct 2, and Killer Instinct Gold. I skipping out on SNES & Gameboy versions because they're not as great to listen to, in my opinion.
Going To Tokyo Game Show 2010
Well, this was our trip to the Tokyo Game Show 2010, and sad to say that there wasn't much to cover in this show when we were there and rarely anything exciting compared to E3. But, fortunately we got a chance to try out Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and that game was the WHOLE show! Believe me, it was AMAZING!
There was a lot that this year's Tokyo Game Show could have improved like having Nintendo, Metal Gear Solid: Rising, Deus Ex 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops, and some new anime games that we couldn't get in America. I'm sure we missed a lot of games. But unfortunately, there was nothing really exciting that we haven't heard of; it's just games & stuff that has been already been announced in E3
