But now, im asking you again. 4ever has made a youtube channel. Would you like to see some gameplay videos? or maybe some other stuff? please dont be shy, your suggestions are valued.
also, please watch the videos that 4ever has put up so far.

anyway, back to the gameplay, what games?
maybe some co-op mario bros wii? or perhaps some amnesia? (i have the demo, not the full game so dont expect much from that) would you like some darksouls: prepare to die edition gameplay?
PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS AND GIVE US SUGGESTIONS!

Drawn to life...

Ah yes, drawn to life. one of my personal favourite DS games. of course, im not talking about the spongebob one... because that never existed...
im talking about the original drawn to life game, a game that promised the ability to CREATE YOUR OWN CHARACTER

THE STORY: so the story of the original drawn to life game is simple at first. a small village inhabited by creatures known as the raposa is slowly being consumeb by darkness. the only hope left in the village lies with Mari, the only raposa who still believes in the Creator, the raposa's deity. The creator recognises Mari's faith and so creates a hero that will bring the village out of the darkness.
 
Heres where you come in. The game makes you do two things. Draw, and platform.
whilst drawing, you are basically given creative freedom on what you draw. however, you are prompted to draw what youve been told to and sometimes are given a template to stick to.
When creating your character you can either use a guide or create a character from scratch. because my drawing skills on the DS are not amazing, i went with using a guide and changing up the colours.
WE'VE ALL DONE IT! 

Gameplay: other than drawing, this game makes you platform. now, while its not a hardcore platformer like supermario bros or super meat boy, it can still present a challenge as you can spend ages looking for that last component to finish a level.
that reminds me, to finish a level, you must do three things. 
1- clear all of the darkness from the stage (rub with stlus)
2- rescue all the raposa in the stage
3-find the pages of the book of life
the last of these three can be troublesome.

Finally, The game contains incredibly catchy musci that you will find yourself huming along to. ah yes. how can we forget that catchy boss music.
the only downside is that the boss music is used for three of the four main bosses in the gmae, just played with different soundboards.

so yeah, PLAY THIS GAME CAUSE ITS AMAZING... in my opinion
 

Pokemon and its weirdness

Admittedly, Pokemon is a weird game, I mean, the concept is sending a young kid out into the wild with no food, no water and only a little animal to protect him. In top of that, these kids are encouraged to make their little animals fight. Not only that, but these kids will stand still in one spot for days and days. Some of them are so cruel that they refuse to take their Pokemon to the Pokemon centres. They just stand there...motionless. So, aside from that, these trainers are a bit weird. At one point, I was derping along and a trainer challenged me to an intense battle, but not before stating "I like shorts!" Did I really need to know that? Did I really? Another time, a trainer said "I'm a cool guy! I have a girlfriend!" My respect for the man was instantly raised. Back to the shorts; a kid said "You're not wearing shorts! What's wrong with you?" I don't know. I just don't know. 
Trainers also ask for your phone number which you MUST give them. They continue to call you with information that "I lost a battle" or "My Rattata is really strong" My Moltres is trembling, trust me. 

Out of everything in the Pokemon universe, the strangest would have to be Gary Oak. For one, that might not even be his name. At the start of the game, Professor Oak comes to you and says "Here's my grandson! Errm, what's his name again?" Gee, that would suck. Your own grandfather not remembering your name. Also, he has no parents, only his sister. When he becomes Pokemon Champion, nobody cares and when you beat him, his Grandfather comes to congratulate you. Sadness!


Clearly, Pokemon takes place in a post war world. Face it, there are orphans everywhere (you and gary) and no places of entertainment, just gyms and hospitals. Kids train at the age of ten to fight and LT Surge (the third gym leader) says electric Pokemon saved him in the war. Lest we forget the brave soldiers and Pokemon who died for their country.

Review scores

When games are released, there are companies who make money by reviewing them (also all the guys on youtube but I think they make less monies) and most of the time, reviewers give them scores. Why have scores at all? Well, there may be some reasons for and against scoring games in reviews. For a positive, it's easier to tell which games are better. A reviewer that doesn't use scores may say that two games are good, but the readers may not know whether its better than a certain game or not. On a negative side, most reviewers use different score types, whether it is out of five or twenty. If all scorers had a universal scale, it would be fine, but think of it this way. A scorer gives a game 3 and a half out of five. That's pretty good, but change that to a scale of 10 and you get 7 out of 10, which doesn't seem as good. Change  that again to a score of 20 and you get 14 out of 20. Seems a lot worse than 3 and a half out of 5. Change it for a last time to a scale of 40 and you get 28 out of 40. So, different scores may make it harder to find a universal average for games. Scorers also have to review that full game. Super Mario Galaxy may be one of the most spectacular games ever made, but its not perfect, thus the reason we can't give it 10/10. Why isn't it perfect? Because of two things. The camera (but that's minor) and the storybook room. MY GOD THAT PLACE IS LIKE HELL ON EARTH! Basically, you get a boring tale of Rosalina and the lumas that you can't skip. But oddly enough, you don't ever have to go in there if you don't want to. So why not only take points off the final score for the camera? Well, you have to review the game as the package. You can't say "this game is perfect except for this one thing, but just ignore it" You have to take the whole package. But since its optional, no-one will really go in there, meaning that those people who never went in there would have more than a 9.5/10 experience. So, anyway, should our blogs go to scoring or keep it as it is? And what scoring should be used?

New Super Mario Bros 3DS comes out in August this year!!

Get your wallets.
Well, I should probably elaborate further than just that. As we all know, the New Super Mario Bros franchise began on the Nintendo DS as one of the early titles. It was a reboot of the original Mario Bros with slicker graphics and new power-ups and levels. The first one was pretty good, but New Super Mario Bros on the Wii was where I felt the series hit the peak. While keeping the traditional Mario, yet bringing in new things, this game, the Wii Mario was awesome. Also, you can't go wrong with Mario Multiplayer, I just wonder if this new version will be different enough than the other ones. I hope you get multiplayer this time, but thankfully not on the same screen.

A tad early perhaps?

Pokemon Black is awesome. Try to argue and face my wrath. However, while playing the game, this thought keeps running through my head. What if we'd waited? The 3DS came out a few months after Pokemon, so what if Nintendo had waited a little longer and put their Pocketmonsters on the 3DS? For one, 3D Pokemon battles would have been sweet, but even better would have been the graphics. The whole new perspective of the game focusing in on the Pokemon looks bad because they're so pixilated. 3DS would solve that easily. Nintendo could stop being so lazy and GIVE US COLOSSEUM GRAPHICS!! Back on the gamecube, Pokemon colosseum was awesome because of the way you saw the Pokemon. They looked so real, and now the 3DS is more powerful than the Wii, which had Pokemon battle revolution on it and that looked sexy. So, Black didn't quite have the graphical prowess, but there's no denying it's fun. Next Pokemon game had better give me what I want or there will be trouble. 

Trouble indeed
