Rugrats: Search for Reptar was the first Rugrats game I've played when I was young and I have to say, at first I greatly enjoyed it, but then when I played it again now... I can't believed I enjoyed this game when I was little.
You see, granted that this game is Playstation era, still this game I thought was awesome but now I don't. The camera in this game is horrendous, especially when you're playing "Incident In Asle Seven." You have to guide Tommy to jump from platform to platform and the camera just freaking sucks. Tommy cannot, I repeat, cannot jump high. He's a baby for heaven's sake...
Okay, where am I going with this? What is the game even about? Well, I'll tell you. The game begins where Tommy wants to play with his Reptar puzzle but finds that all of the pieces are not in his doll. So you have to find the pieces by playing a random game based on episodes of the Rugrats such as the one I stated, Grampa's Teeth, the Mysterious Mr. Fiend and the Seven Voyages of Cynthia to name a few. Once you find all of the pieces, you get to play a bonus level of playing as Reptar, and well... destroy the city.
There's another game that I played that was for the computer that was really freaking hard and I could never find a way to complete it. You see, the point of Rugrats Adventuer Game is that Angelica managed to throw Reptar into the trash, and knowing the babies, they cannot just go up to their parents and tell them that their toy is in the trash. So they have to find a way to get the toy out of the trash. You have to find a way to scare the trashmen, find a way to get Reptar out of the trash, and how to get to the trash. But it's not so easy. You have to complete a series of finding items and the damn cookie game where you have to guide Chuckie through a series of drawers to get him to the top and make sure he gets the "chocolate chip" cookie, otherwise if you get coconut, you have to do it all over again! But finding a lot of these items could be a pain because sometimes if you click on one of them, one of the babies will let you know that they don't need that particular item, but it might come in handy later. Obviously, but you come across those items so many times it gets annoying.
I wished that Rugrats were still around because I greatly enjoyed that show when I was little. The old episodes are always and will be my favorites. All the episodes before Dil and Kimmy came are my favorite. But of course, Netflix got rid of them, as well as never having the old episodes around... I would definitely LOVE to see these and not expect to see them on the station where the 90s are back.
Because I'm not staying up past midnight every single freaking day to watch a cartoon that plays only once.

Mixed Feelings For A Fighter
Okay, so a while back there was this game that was (and still is) in the making called Death Cargo. It's a fighting game being developed by an Italian company called Necrostorm. This game is supposed to make us feel nostalgic by having 80s and 90s stuff going on with it. It's all bloody, it's all neon-looking and such.
But here's the thing, at first, I really didn't like what I was seeing. I thought it was just some project a college student was making. I wasn't impressed at what was being produced. So I may have had some harsh words about this on another fighting game site I go on that was talking about this game. I thought it was very disrespectful of them for sending a member of their own team onto this site and start bashing us for commenting about the game. Still to this day, I don't like that they did such a thing like that, very unprofessional on their end. However, that's not to say as a year went by, I started to change my mind about the way I started seeing this game.
Yeah, I probably was a bit too harsh about this game, and didn't care that it was being made by a company that doesn't produce video games. This is their first time, how could I be so judgmental like that and forget that this is their first time. But the way they were responding to other criticism wasn't so nice. You see, I started seeing a lot on their old Youtube videos that anyone that enjoyed Mortal Kombat got bashed, and I mean super bashed them. Hold on just a freaking minute... you're going to bash a game that literally inspired this game to be created? I mean, "The 80s and 90s Are Back," is what they keep saying, and last time I checked, Mortal Kombat came out in the 90s. You're going to bash any fan that is a Mortal Kombat fan? That game is what making your game come to life. And yeah, there are a lot of things in this game that seems like a pure ripoff of Mortal Kombat, but what's not to say that a lot of fighting games out there right now hasn't taken something from another game that turn it into their own?
I will say, I don't like the names they chose for their characters. Amaz-1-Ng...? It's like part woman part cyborg... Plasma, Morbo, Crystal (who actually is a guy)... But they don't look like fighters. Leach is some Hulk-like character wearing Daisy Dukes... Yeah, they could have done something better with the characters.
From their latest Youtube video showing yet another Beta, I will say, from that video alone, it got me re-thinking that this game might not be so bad as what I thought it was back in the past. Their game is mainly about some large ship managed to lose these weapons that are now taking control of these characters. Plasma is like the head captain of the ship and is out searching for them. As much as I keep seeing it's face (it is neither a man or a woman), I do like what I see, despite him having Chun Li's special. I would really appreciate seeing other characters for once in these Beta videos that Necrostorm puts out.
I don't know, I have mixed feelings for this game, I did before and that was until I continued seeing things from this company I didn't appreciate. However, you're entitled to change minds about things, you know?

Have They Changed Since I Last Touched Them?
Okay, I have a confession to make... I used to be a huge wrestling fan in my kiddie past. I had, and still do, have a massive crush on Edge and Shawn Michaels. Something about muscled men wearing tights... Yeah, anyways, I know there's a huge series of WWE and WWF games out there and I used to buy the PS2 up to, god I think it was 2009 that I ended with before realizing it was getting stupid to watch. I'm sorry but I really cannot stand John Cena and both of my guys are retired and the new faces aren't that entertaining. (I know that Shawn is still around every now and then and so is Edge but not that much, but still, I can't just keep watching the show and expect to see them when they're not even wrestling anymore)
WWF Attitude (Get It?) was the first wrestling game I used to play on the Playstation. My brother was into wrestling, but I never watched it with him because I wasn't allowed to for some reason... Except I could play the video game instead... I'd always create characters, never really played as the actual wrestlers. I remember when choosing the voice for your character, I would laugh so hard at Owen Hart's "I'm not a nugget." I never understood why he said that because like I said, I never watched wrestling, and of course, being very young and hearing this would make a kid laugh.
Throughout the Playstation 2 era, I got more and more into wrestling ad began playing these games like crazy, and yet, I still to this day, have never played an actual wrestler character, I'd pick my created characters. Hey, if I'm allowed to play them in the story mode, why not? This was interesting because I enjoyed making characters in any kind of game that has this feature. I took advantage of this a lot with the wrestling games.
I also managed to play Crush Hour, their little car game, and I'd always played as Edge. I will say, for how strange this game was when it came out, it was fairly entertaining and I enjoyed it a lot.
But then I started to see something with these games... They're beginning to be the same game one after the other with a few changes every now and then. But it's the same game every time with a new story mode. I didn't want to keep wasting money away on something that hasn't changed in a long time. I mean, in the past, wrestling games were fucking awesome, like Midway's Wrestlemania. I LOVED this game because it was funny, entertaining, and would keep my attention going after a while. This was a game I wanted to keep playing even if there wasn't that many characters to choose from. Don't matter, it has Shawn Michaels in it, I'd play him every day! Haha... Anyways.
I've recently started to watch all my old wrestling DVDs again because I don't know, I felt like watching something I used to watch as a kid. I still scream when I see my favorites come out even though I know the outcome of the match. It's still entertaining to me despite that I know it's fake. Yeah, I know it's scripted and people make a big muck about it, I really don't give a damn. If it's gaining my attention, I like it well then that's fine with me. But honestly... I wish I didn't grow out of it, although, I wouldn't have that much fun watching anymore because neither of my favorites are on. Yeah, I still like a few that are still wrestling, but they're nothing compared to Edge or Shawn Michaels. It was fun while it lasted, I'll say that, and I will continue crushing on these two guys for as long as I live.
Yeap.

Psychology And Such
So in one of my classes for school, I had to do something that talks about women, since the class is literally called "Psychology of Women." I thought for my final, I would talk about how women are portrayed in video games. Instead of me explaining it, here you go:
Youtube Video
So yeah, enjoy it!

My Love For Fighting Games
I never really took the time to actually see how much I love fighting games... and to be honest, I really only love one. Mortal Kombat. You see, back in the early 90s, when that game came out, my brother was playing it non stop. We were the Sega Genesis kids mainly because Sega does what Ninten-don't. However, when the N64 came out, I got it, so Nintendo wasn't really that bad of a company for us. Anyways, Mortal Kombat was the only fighting game the two of us really got into. I never really saw my brother take home a Street Fighter game. Not too many of his friends played it either when they came over for their male bonding time.
And as we grew up, neither of us still had a liking for Street Fighter. Now, don't get me wrong here, I don't hate the series, nor do I think Mortal Kombat is superior. These games all have their pros and their cons, but it was just that I grew up with Mortal Kombat and I choose that over Street Fighter any day. I've never really played Street Fighter as much as I did with Mortal Kombat. When I actually do play Street Fighter, I tend to just mash the buttons like crazy and hoping that I do something with that. I don't know why this is, I mean, if I spent most of my time that I do with Mortal Kombat to Street Fighter, I'd probably be somewhat decent. The problem is just that I never really did took the time to look at the character's moves and play the practice mode over and over again until I mastered majority of their moves. Same goes to any of Capcom's fighting games, I just cannot get with it and play it the way it should be played. Their moves to me seem complicated. Sure, most of you who play Capcom's fighting games might be laughing at me, but I really don't mind, I deserve it because hey, I'm not going to be perfect at everything might as well confess it now.
There are other fighting games out there that I tried... well, only one, Soul Calibur, and of course, I had no fucking clue what I was doing. To be honest, I only got the game because of their create a character mode, and from what I saw, I really liked it. But after I actually tried to play the game, I still had no fucking clue what I was doing.
Mortal Kombat really is the only fighting game I can get into. It's not because it's simple to learn everything, but I just really love the way it plays... despite that it's simple to learn everything is a key factor to why I like it. I shouldn't really have to be ashamed that I can't pick up Street Fighter and all those other fighting games, it's just that for some reason that kind of style never stood out nor have I ever took the time to actually sit down and play the game. With Mortal Kombat, I did so, and becuase of that, I really have a fun time defeating my brother every now and then, as well as defeating my friends.
And, the only reason why I decided to make a blog about my personal life with fighting games for this week is because I'm kinda in a brain-farting mood. I really couldn't decide what game to review this time and well... I guess I could start reviewing some nostalgic games for next week's blog thingy...
I'm still also trying to find some way to make video blogs... maybe over the summer probably... as well as my psychology project that has me talking about how women are portrayed in video games... and it's not going to be the feministic view either. I really don't want to do that. I'm rambling.

Sweeeeeeet Emooooooootioooon
Revolution X is the game on my list of bashing and reviewing and whatevers. So as we play the blatant Terminator 2 game, we come to find ourselves fighting against a group called New World Order, they hate everything you like. Aww, so they hate cute little kitties?
You're fighting against these never ending dudes in yellow who also have roller blades on as well, shooting a barrage of bullets at you that only a few actually connects. You're heading to Club X, the hottest new club that opened in LA because AEORSMITH is playing there tonight! But as you're fighting through, they get captured by NWO's leader, Helga, played by Kerri Hopkins, who also plays all the girls in the game and who is also Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat. Reason why I mentioned that is because Midway is to thank for this game. When you get to Steven Tyler's dressing room, he tells you to go to his car and such, stop NWO from taking over the world and music is the weapon.
Yeah.
Oh, did I mention that before you see Aerosmith get captured, a giant tank comes storming into the club? It's that kind of a game.
When you get to the car and such, you're on your way to three different locations. The Middle East, the Amazon and Pacific Rim. In each of these locations, you need to stop whatever NWO is doing at these spots, whether it's to stop a busload of children on their way to be brainwashed, contaminated food, or chemical making. In each of these spots, you're also fighting men with surf boards for maskss and Power Ranger cosplayers. Each of these levels have bosses that take FOREVER to destroy, so remember to stock up on a bunch of CDs, because remember, music is the weapon... which means music literally IS the weapon. You have to basically dismember these bosses piece by piece, leaving absolutely nothing left of it.
There's a bit of a difference when you're playing the Middle East level, where you're stopping a busload of children to be brainwashed. You have to constantly keep up with the speed of the bus, so you're either speeding up or speeding down every now and then. Once you magically find a way to actually destroy this bus, you also kill the kids that are inside of it, because once you destroy the bus, you really destroy the bus, meaning that you also destroy the children that are inside. Great job you murderous bastards.
Throughout the game, you have to find all the members of Aerosmith. You have to do a series of tasks in order to find them. So, to find Steven Tyler, you have to shoot these two fishheads and this TV in the lounge area, once you do that, you'll be entering in some secret zone and you'll find Tyler making out with some random chick. It's like that with the other characters, finding something to shoot at and heading onto the secret area. Why am I mentioning this? Because you HAVE to find these guys in order to get the REAL ending. Yeah, it's one of THOSE games.
You see, once you defeat Helga, meaning once again, shooting and dismembering her... I mean, he, yeah, Helga is really a giant mutated macho man in disguise, piece by piece, you get words scrolling up on the screen telling you about the ending. If you didn't find all of the members, it tells you that you will not be rocking with the "greatest" band ever, Aerosmith, because you didn't locate all of the members. You gotta find all of them to be legends.
Meh, that's fine, I'm sure everyone else will be pleased to rock out with me after I saved all of their lives from the New World Order. I'm sorry Aerosmith is too arrogant to rock out with me because I couldn't find their sorry asses in hard to reach spots.

Infinitely Fun!!!
I'm warning you now, I'm spoiling a few things about Bioshock: Infinite. If you do not want to be spoiled, please keep reading, thank you!!!
Oh my was Bioshock Infinite amazing to play. I totally enjoyed Columbia a lot more than Rapture, mainly because it just seemed a heck more interesting to understand its history and more visually spectacular to look at. I mean, every now and then I found myself stopping for a few seconds just to look at the scenery. Plus, with the last two games, the character you take in control just didn't seem... interesting to play as.
I mean, let's face it. With Jack, you're a slave, with Subject: Delta, playing as a Big Daddy was fun for the most, annoying with the remainder of the game. But with Booker DeWitt, this guy just seemed so much fun to play as, maybe it's just got to do with the character interactions throughout the game. I just felt that having a character that seemed to be more of a livelier character was more fun to play as rather than two mutes.
With the story, I'm being honest here, it confused me for a little bit, but I totally get it. Booker is Comstock, Elizabeth is his daughter Anna... and honestly... I saw it coming... pretty much around the time that Booker drowns Comstock in the fountain, I knew that Elizabeth was his daughter... And if she is his daughter, then that means that Comstock is him. But hey, I'm not disappointed, Bioshock has a way in making twist endings, and this one certainly made me happy. Towards the end of the credits, you get another scene, making you think if this was another reality or not. Ooh, Inception... dum dum dum dum DUM DA DUMMMM... I never saw the movie.
My only complaint... I wish there was more interaction with Songbird. I LOVED that creature, especially when you find out about the word "CAGE" and that... Ugh, I wish there was more interaction with that creature, maybe a fight or something could have made me a little happy, but hey... that damn thing should have killed me when he tossed me into a tower. There's no way Booker should have been alive after that! Haha, I really liked the part where you have to defend your ship while heading towards Monument Island and you're telling Songbird to crash into enemies and such. The only enemy I hated fighting in this game are those damn Patriots. I think I missed reading somewhere telling me that the most damage you can do to it is shooting it in the back. It wasn't until much later in the game, pretty much that defending scene, was where I found out that shooting those things in the back damages it a lot quicker than shooting them in the front. Also, those turrets were also driving me crazy every so often.
I did enjoy the new powers that you had, my favorite had to be the shock ability, mainly because when you place the traps down, they do some heavy damage, and it's fun setting them down in places and watching your enemies walk right through them. I also liked the fact that you didn't have to rely on finding ADAM to buy your powers and upgrades, you just rely on collecting money, which isn't that hard to find throughout Columbia. Even Elizabeth helps you find money throughout your adventure. So upgrading your powers and guns shouldn't be a difficult thing to do, as long as you're smart about spending them...
I really thought they did an awesome job with this game, and I certainly hope that the series continues. To end the series here would be extremely disappointing because I know they can do so much more. I just really thought this game was the best out of the three. I loved the new area, the new challenges and the fact that my character I'm playing as actually is a guy I can have fun playing with rather than feel sorry for. I mean with Jack, you feel sorry for him when you find out that he's a slave, obeying kindly towards Jack Fontaine. With Delta, you felt sorry for what Sophia did to him and his daughter. I don't want to feel sorry for my characters, I want to be angry along with them to get to the end and drive a bullet through the brains of those idiots... Like Booker here... Even though the ending... I did feel sorry for him. But that's just because he gets drowned by three Elizabeths. Haha, still, I really loved this game.

I totally enjoyed Columbia a lot more than Rapture, mainly because it just seemed a heck more interesting to understand its history and more visually spectacular to look at. I mean, every now and then I found myself stopping for a few seconds just to look at the scenery. Plus, with the last two games, the character you take in control just didn't seem... interesting to play as.
I mean, let's face it. With Jack, you're a slave, with Subject: Delta, playing as a Big Daddy was fun for the most, annoying with the remainder of the game. But with Booker DeWitt, this guy just seemed so much fun to play as, maybe it's just got to do with the character interactions throughout the game. I just felt that having a character that seemed to be more of a livelier character was more fun to play as rather than two mutes.
With the story, I'm being honest here, it confused me for a little bit, but I totally get it. Booker is Comstock, Elizabeth is his daughter Anna... and honestly... I saw it coming... pretty much around the time that Booker drowns Comstock in the fountain, I knew that Elizabeth was his daughter... And if she is his daughter, then that means that Comstock is him. But hey, I'm not disappointed, Bioshock has a way in making twist endings, and this one certainly made me happy. Towards the end of the credits, you get another scene, making you think if this was another reality or not. Ooh, Inception... dum dum dum dum DUM DA DUMMMM... I never saw the movie.
My only complaint... I wish there was more interaction with Songbird. I LOVED that creature, especially when you find out about the word "CAGE" and that... Ugh, I wish there was more interaction with that creature, maybe a fight or something could have made me a little happy, but hey... that damn thing should have killed me when he tossed me into a tower. There's no way Booker should have been alive after that! Haha, I really liked the part where you have to defend your ship while heading towards Monument Island and you're telling Songbird to crash into enemies and such. The only enemy I hated fighting in this game are those damn Patriots. I think I missed reading somewhere telling me that the most damage you can do to it is shooting it in the back. It wasn't until much later in the game, pretty much that defending scene, was where I found out that shooting those things in the back damages it a lot quicker than shooting them in the front. Also, those turrets were also driving me crazy every so often.
I did enjoy the new powers that you had, my favorite had to be the shock ability, mainly because when you place the traps down, they do some heavy damage, and it's fun setting them down in places and watching your enemies walk right through them. I also liked the fact that you didn't have to rely on finding ADAM to buy your powers and upgrades, you just rely on collecting money, which isn't that hard to find throughout Columbia. Even Elizabeth helps you find money throughout your adventure. So upgrading your powers and guns shouldn't be a difficult thing to do, as long as you're smart about spending them...
I really thought they did an awesome job with this game, and I certainly hope that the series continues. To end the series here would be extremely disappointing because I know they can do so much more. I just really thought this game was the best out of the three. I loved the new area, the new challenges and the fact that my character I'm playing as actually is a guy I can have fun playing with rather than feel sorry for. I mean with Jack, you feel sorry for him when you find out that he's a slave, obeying kindly towards Jack Fontaine. With Delta, you felt sorry for what Sophia did to him and his daughter. I don't want to feel sorry for my characters, I want to be angry along with them to get to the end and drive a bullet through the brains of those idiots... Like Booker here... Even though the ending... I did feel sorry for him. But that's just because he gets drowned by three Elizabeths. Haha, still, I really loved this game.
