Hello everyone, this is Bond_Of_Fury with a review of the PlayStation 2 children's game Dog's Life. As a 12 year-old boy, I always used to play this with my little cousin as a means of keeping him entertained when he and my aunt and uncle came over for visit. I didn't really expect anything much from this game, seeing as it's just a children's game on a first look. However, I actually came to adore this game and I've always had fond memories of it. So much even, that I just bought it off of the internet a few days ago, just to be able to play it again. Seems like I've enjoyed it way more than...

Through this article, I shall cover some of the oddest and strangest things I have ever encountered or pondered about while playing a game.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune- Randomly travelling!
------------------------------------------------
While playing Uncharted is truly a blast, and the atmosphere is stellar, you often wonder, "WTF is Drake trying to do? Does he have any idea where he REALLY is going?" It seems that he'll climb everywhere without a plan (on top of buldings, through castles, and on top of Elena when they're all alone, if you get my drift) and just decides to romp on through places...

Power-ups are always there to help us. They give you that one boost of energy you need to help you defeat an enemy, solve a puzzle, or to just be awesome. But, what about those power-ups that are so bad, that you want to avoid them at all costs. Well, these are the ten power-ups that I find to be the most useless. Now, before I start, the rules are simple. When I look at power-ups, I look at items that are either temporarily, or help increase a trait of yours a little. If the item never runs out and is permanent, then it is is not going to be on this list, because it is more of a weapon than...

Almost every video game has those small mini-games that can be a lot of fun. Hell, half the time, there more fun than the main game. In fact, there so much fun, that they could possibly be there own games. It’s happened before, like with Resident Evil Mercenaries. So, today, I am going to talk about my top seven mini games that can be there own games. Now, why seven instead of the usual ten. Because seven is all I could think of. Now, the rules are simple. Only one game per franchise, of course, and only from games that I played. So, that means that the Nazi Zombie Mini-Game is out. Also,...

Now, what is a video game boss? What makes a boss different than enemies is that the boss is more challenging than the enemies (Most of the time, anyway), and are made to test your skill and must be defeated before you can move on. Some are easy, some are hard, some are SUPER GODDAMN ANNOYING, but, best of all, they can be the highlight of any game. Now, I am going to tell you all my top ten favorite video game bosses. First, the rules. These are going to be from games that only I play, and these are going to be one game per franchise. Also, I am not including final bosses. That is a list for...

So, after reading Zeppie’s Top 20 Favorite Video Games, I decided to make my own list of my favorite video games. I hope you all enjoy this list as much as I did making it. So, here we go

#20: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Ha ha ha ha ha…. Oh, f**k no



REAL #20: Saints Row 2 - Now, the reason I didn’t put a GTA game on this list is because you aren’t given as much freedom as you are in Saints Row. While I could have included Saints Row 1, it didn’t really stick to me as much as Saints Row 2. And since Saints Row: The Third was an ungodly disappointment on my part, that definitely...

THIS IS VERY URGENT AND NOT A JOKE!

I really mean it! What would you be able to do if SOPA/TPP censors the internet? What would you be able to do if writing fanfics and drawing fanarts become illegal? What would you do if it's illegal to do a cover of your favorite song on YouTube? What would you do if downloading things from the internet (music, movies, TV episodes, etc) became illegal? What would you do if SOPA/TPP wins the war and takes away internet freedom? Net Neutrality is already dead so far, we can't risk the freedom of internet from getting killed by SOPA/TPP!...

A video game console is an interactive entertainment computer or customized computer system that produces a video display signal which can be used with a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a video game. The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for people to buy and use primarily for playing video games on a TV. As of 2007, it is estimated that video game consoles have made up 75% of the world's gaming market.


First generation

The Magnavox Odyssey was the first video game console, released in 1972.

Yes, I'm talking about the hugely anticipated, but sort of flawed video game from 2010. And yes, while it wasn't very good, there was one moment in a certain mission that stood out to me as one of the most epic, nerve-recking moments I have experienced in any video game yet.

I was in the desert with some members from my squad. I forgot whatever the hell I was doing, because that didn't bother me much it seems. We stumbled across an old, ragged little house that appeared to have seen better days. I think we inspected it, I can't quite recall what we were doing exactly. Then, while we were speaking...

1. It’s OK to kill people.

2. Dying doesn’t really matter much either.


3. If you’re 14, have hair covering your eyes and live in a small village, man up, because you’re going to have to save the world.

4. Medicine became obsolete in the year 2004, when doctors noticed that hiding behind a wall caused human health to regenerate to 100%.

5. Eating stuff found on the floor is good for you – your parents were wrong.


6. Sometime in the future, Earth will be menaced by hordes of alien spacecraft that fly in predictable patterns and can be killed in one hit. The logical course of action will...

1. If you face in a certain direction so that there are a lot of people, objects, shiny surfaces, and/or you can see really far, time may slow down and your vision will become choppy.

2. Sometimes if you go somewhere you’re “not supposed to be” you may fall through the ground and find yourself falling through a void, with the world as you know it rapidly disappearing into the distance above.

3. Turtles and mushrooms can kill you just by touching you anywhere other than the bottom of your feet.

4. While on a date with a girl, just barely brushing a pedestrian with your car accidentally will...

A personal countdown of the most difficult games that I have ever played. This part will mention the first five games. Without any further ado, let's begin!



10. XIII - Playstation 2/Xbox/Gamecube/PC

XIII. Fun, hard, and sometimes frustrating. You start the game on Brighton Beach, suffering from memory loss and woken up by a nice Coast Guard lady. I won't tell you the whole story, but I'll sum it up for you. You will be chased down by spies, police officers, soldiers, guerrillas, etc. The boss battles in this game are quite difficult, even on Arcade/easy mode. Your 'sixth sense' often has...

There's been a strange amount of hype/flame-warring about inFamous and Prototype so I decided I'd have a go at doing a sort of....comparative review(?)

Both games are open-world, third-person view, (gruff voiced) super-hero (or anti-hero) games. Alex Mercer, the protagonist of Prototype uses his own body as his weapon, morphing it into whatever he needs. As well as morphing, he is virtually bullet proof and can.... run up walls? Cole McGrath, the protagonist of inFamous uses lightning and parkour abilities.

Prototype
First of, graphics of Prototype were reported to be better... BUT the whole city...

Back in 2002, Sucker Punch defined to me what a real video game is with a certain game titled 'Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus'. But what really did it for me was it's even better sequel, 'Sly 2: Band of Thieves'. And even before those two games, Sucker Punch revolutionized physics with their debut title, 'Rocket: Robot on Wheels'. It was like the Half-Life 2 of the Nintendo 64.

Then they created 'Sly 3', which I quickly finished. I was eager for more action, but discovered that Sucker Punch's next game would be a superhero game titled 'inFamous'. Little did I expect that inFamous would...

Online gaming has become a staple for many gamers these days, as it can be much more fun to play against other, real people than computers, right? In many instances, WRONG. Here's why, Mr. Online Junkie.
----------------------------------------

Starting the Match. In multi-player against a computer, you can instantly hit a "Play" button and be on your way lightning fast into a match. The same isn't the case for many games online. Either the guy hosting the match just won't start the game, or some other idiot won't stop switching sides in the lobby, meaning there isn't consistency between the...

Alan Wake. The Sabotuer. inFamous. Uncharted 2. Dead Island. Prototype. Cryostasis, and many more big hitters will be releasing this year. However, suddenly, all of these games stumble in the wake of a new upcoming game that is truly explosive- Red Faction Guerrilla, the third installment in the overall exceptionally fun Red Faction series. And this time, it's WAY bigger than before.

I had already played the first two not long ago when I found out that this bad boy was under development, and it's destructive symphony of explosions and chaos brough pleasure to my ears and eyes. And now, I received...

Fracture is a technical achievement, but is still a Gears of War rip-off in the long run.
Fracture is a technical achievement, but is still a Gears of War rip-off in the long run.
Fracture really isn't one of those games you need to finish to review. Sure, you might miss out on a vehicle section or two, but you still get the basic idea. After all, the game has an interesting, realistic, but dull story that never interests you. It has the most downright bizarre control scheme you've seen in years, and it has some glitches. (Although it is a technical achievement.)

The game starts out with the west breaking apart (literally) due to global warming. The Pacifican Union uses genetic modification to survive and the Atlantics of the surviving country use technology, mainly terrain...
