Grand Theft Auto San Andreas - PlayStation 2

Probably one of the best Grand Theft Auto games around, with its huge world and amazing 90's music this game delivers a great deal in a small PS2 disc. Though that's not to say GTA IV was a flop, it was just that San Andreas had so many things that you could do. I was so excited as hell when the game first came out, I actually happened to get it a day early than those who were waiting for their reserved copy at Gamestop.

When I first played the game I was really amazed at how the neighborhoods looked, the first area was vast expanding all the way through the country side, some of the cities in the game were pretty much carbon copies of the actual city like San Francisco, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

The game was visually amazing at the time as nobody could imagine that the game had a huge environment including the huge mountain on the first area called Mount Chiliad which is the best way to escape from the cops, also its fun to drive cars, bikes or tanks off the mountain and watch how far you're able to drive off it.

With its amazing Soundtrack they released a Box set just like they did with Vice City. It ranged from Country, Rap, R&B, Rock, and Reggae. Just like Vice City they brought back well known artists like Bobby Brown, Eddie Money, Rod Stewart, SWV, Soundgarden, Rick James, and Kool and The Gang.

Though the game spawn racial tension as most gamers already hated the whole black thing and the Boyz in the hood style storyline. It was something totally new for the GTA series.




I think what most gamers didn't like was the music as they mostly complained about how they hated the whole gangster rap type genre and wished that they brought back most of the music that was introduced on Vice City.

But...what young kiddies should understand is that's what the 90's were about especially on the West Coast, with the whole gang wars in Los Angeles so making a game in that era in that area was amazingly depicted in this game. So most young 14 year olds who play this game today will never be able to understand the era, just like how young kids didn't understand GTA Vice City's era with the clothing and the gay macho man look.

I'm glad that it got the scores that it received, I would imagine it would be game of the year as well because of how many people it attracted and how many people hated it because of the way GTA was going at the time. I would be so happy if they would make a GTA type game set in San Andreas because this would give the developers a new way of creating a realistic city on a next gen console.

Star Wars Battlefront - PlayStation 2

A classic game, not even sure if the online works on it still, last time I tried to go online with this game it asked me to save some kind of 1MB patch, sucks that the 8MB memory card can save so very little.

I actually bought this game used at Gamestop while in my stay in Oregon its a game I thought I should own since my older brother said no to letting me have his copy of the game so it was best to just have my own copy of the game, and then I made a backup of it so I can play the fuck out of my backup.

But anyways this game is a little different as compared to Battlefront II due to many reasons, they added some really cool things to the second one but when you go from the second game to the first game you tend to see what was added and what wasn't added to the second game such as the crawling on the floor, and you can't do the forward roll like you could on the second game.

But the graphics and pretty much some of the sounds transfer over the only thing I glad didn't return were the levels where you had to fight Gungans, hearing their voices are so god damn annoying especially when you are trying to attack one. "Oh no.. Wesa being attacked" Also the lack of playable Jedi and villains is what makes the first Battlefront a bit boring if you played the 2nd one but never had the chance to play the 1st game.

It might just be me but when I played I found it very annoying that whenever I tried to attack enemies my fucking team just goes right in front of my beams and kill themselves and thus giving me a negative kill for them being fucking stupid.





But I enjoy it, the game is really fun and I think that I'll never NEVER grow tired of Battlefront like I've grown tired of some of my PS2 games that I have. I think in time once they come out with a third Battlefront for the PS3 it will be more popular on the next gen console giving players new abilities yet giving them yet again more ways to find glitches and flaws to get wins online.




But hey thank god Gamestop is good for something having all these good games to buy, I wouldn't recommend trading in your games though because I seriously think they suck at it, and they rip you off. I'm surprised that this game is 17 dollars when I bought it at Gamestop in Oregon, even the other day I saw this very same game yet the case was in better condition at the local Gamestop.

This game is definitely a buy if you enjoyed the Star Wars series and have yet to play the Battlefront games.

Burnout Paradise - The Ultimate Box

Decided to purchase The Ultimate Box on PS Store, it was worth the download but the game ended up being 3GB I know that it would of been better to just buy it off Amazon and get the disc based content but I figured I did not want to even go and purchase the game used at some Gamespot or have to wait a week until this game came in the mail from Amazon.

I've played previous Burnout games and it seemed that the only thing they did not seem to have were downloadable content from PSN or Live. So when I purchased it I had no idea what I was expecting, with The Ultimate Box you get a ton of extra content including Cop Cars, Toy Cars, Legendary Cars, Motorcycles and a few Boost Cars along with that.

Also you can download extra things to it as well such as a Party Pack which allows up to 8 Players in Single mode do various types of activities such as Speed Runs, Stunt Jumps or other things that will help you out at parties.

Also for the PlayStation 3 this game has the most trophies that I've ever seen on any kind of game. I pretty much have about 98% of the trophies this is excluding the Island pack which hasn't been released yet as of May 22nd, 2009. Only three trophies left for this game for me to get 100% until the Island pack which will set me back to 90%. I need to purchase a PlayStation Eye camera so I could take a mug shot to someone on an online game and have to take a picture of every person on the Party Pack this will eventually give me the Platinum trophy making it number 3.



Now back to the game. It's visually nice graphic wise, the cars are awesome and the sound is amazing. The best part about this game is if you get tired of the shitty music you can play your own music on the game it's best to make your own Play list so you're playing the game without having to worry about not running out of music that you play from within the PS3 hard drive.

Each event is at each intersection on the game, you get tons of different events the more events you finish or win it helps you out with getting a certain Driver's License, once you reach your Burnout License you can continue on to get the Elite License but that does take a lot of hard work which I have yet to accomplish on the game.

If you get tired of driving cars you can drive the many cars that the game offers such as Bikes and DLC cars that you purchase from PSN Store. This game is amazing and now I know why they are keeping it alive with DLC because it helps make the game better and better. Lots of people play this online too, so if you ever want to go online to play you'll never get tired of playing with different people, just make sure you know how to accept the Freeburn or Timed Challenges that the host puts up in the Lobby.

One last thing a hint for anyone reading this up to this point. If you do want to get all the Trophies on the game it's best not to use the Bike, as it glitches TWO trophies that require you to get a Platinum Trophy, those are winning 10 Freeburn Challenges and winning 10 Timed Challenges, the game requires a car for you to get those two trophies by using the Bike you just fucked your game up as it causes some sort of glitch which it doesn't give you the trophy for Timed or Freeburn challenge no matter how many challenges you complete you will not get the trophy because of this Bike glitch, they still haven't fixed it.

Best solution is to back your game up on a USB Flash Drive and then delete your old game on the PS3 Hard drive have a friend help you out with getting the two trophies, once you get them you can go back to having your old saved game back onto your PS3 so it will go back to the way it was.

Grand Theft Auto IV - Revisited

This time I have a video to help out the weird game play that this game still possesses. I haven't really gone back to playing online because I figured a lot of people would already be on Level 10 and deadly assassins. I think if I kept on doing the one Co-Op mission Hang Man's NOOSE I would of reached level 10 but its OK as I have other games to play besides GTA IV, this game was really my first game on my PS3 and so I played it to death I would still find it fun to play with friends online but they seem to be busy with other things like getting Burnout Paradise Trophies and things.

I've been playing another game that has been winning me over in the action adventure genre, that would be Saints Row 2 I'll have to get a video up of that soon but the reason why GTA IV lacks so much as compared to SR2 is that there's not much CO-OP feel. You get a chance to have three missions but that's not a enough to make this game gold with me. If they added a way of playing CO-OP with a friend then the game would surpass Saints Row 2.




There are still plenty of things to do on GTA IV but it really weighs out with both games. GTA IV has all the eye candy type graphics that make the game beautiful visually but when it comes to features Saints Row 2 beats the game to a pulp. You can do so much on the game such as mini games which can be addicting and funny I know GTA IV tried to pass off as a real life type game by adding all these physics and car damage but I feel that more and more people are taking notice to the fun factor of Saints Row 2 and leaving offline of GTA IV, I only heard that GTA IV's online is a ghost town and hardly anyone on there.

I also feel that if they brought the DLC that 360 has to PS3 then it would be great to have, I kept hearing rumor that their liscense for the DLC will end in sometime and that if they wanted to keep those rights they had to pay more money for it. I'm pretty sure that is just bullshit from PS3 fanboys but if it is true I'll definitely try to see if I can purchase it, since I already purchased a shit load of stuff for Burnout Paradise and Singstar.

Bear Gamer Intro

Thought I would design a gamer bear Intro for my videos on my GamerBears account on YouTube, I will pretty much use this on all my videos excluding DreamcastLover, and VideoGamerJunkie. Enjoy.

Beats of Rage - Sega Dreamcast

Those games that you never thought would make it to a Dreamcast or a PS2 really does. Beats of Rage, tons of people really wanted to see a Streets of Rage 4, but with the power of game design, and the ability to play burnt games on a Modded PS2 or a normal Dreamcast the ability to play this kind of game is not imaginary after all.

When I heard about this game Beats of Rage I had to search for it, since I knew Dreamcast would play burnt games without the use of a mod chip then I found this game and ended up downloading it.

The game looks just like Streets of Rage 2, even has some of the music tracks of the actual game, giving you a better remix with actual artists. The animation is amazing and it's a must download if you do have a Dreamcast lying around or even an emulator and a computer powerful enough to play it. (Kisses Dreamcast) I'll love it until it dies.





Though you could play this on a PS2 as well you might run into the problem of having to mod it first if you haven't already. I think it's good that the Dreamcast still lives on with it's amazing ability to play games then you can find those rare Dreamcast games that you've never even heard about, then your library just keeps growing and growing. NICE!

Dance Dance Revolution 2nd Mix (Dreamcast Edition) - Sega Dreamcast

I wasn't sure if this actually was released in the U.S. but the one I had was a Japanese version of the game which probably had less dance remixes, though that's probably because I played it on easy when I did the video capturing for it.

Don't you love it when you go to your local movie theater and they have some sort of Konami game playing out loud, then when you here that amazing chime when the Konami Logo pops up?

Then after that you hear that gay rave music in the background, I have no seen many people play this game, not sure if they still making them but I think they were releasing a new Disney version of Dance Dance Revolution for the Wii, expect to see shit from High School Musical, no Disneyland theme music like from the rides.

I'm so tired of that High School Musical bullshit! Ugh! But anyways enough about Disney this is about Dance Dance Revolution 2nd Mix Dreamcast Edition, damn what a long ass name for a game but I guess just making it DDR 2nd Mix Dream Edition is nice and sweet. Even though I wasn't even sure if this game was released in U.S. I figured I would play the Japan version, though I did not have the Dance Pad it probably would of been harder than doing it on the Dreamcast controller.




I really loved this game but I know my fat bear ass would have a mini attack half way through the song, I remember playing DDR at some small local amusement park, it got me all hot and bothered not only was it on in the Arcade Room but just dancing made things so UGH! lol but seriously this is an awesome game and I just wish I could of been able to play more of these games and possibly own sing star but I would feel embarrassed to even sing in my own house with my parents wondering around.
