QWOP (PC)


Overall Rating: 7/15



What a terrible game! It is almost as bad as Spider man or Super Mario Sunshine! In this game, you have to make the guy run by controlling his legs withe the Q W O and P keys, hence the name of the game. It is very, very,very,very,very, very, very, very hard to do this. The Q and W keys control the thighs and the O and P keys to control the calves. You have to control EVERY step and make him go 100 meters. My personal record is 6.3 meters. It is so stupid! go try to win without being a QWOP addict like pvtawsum. (Does not deserve a capital letter). He will probably even change the rating and re-post it. But seriously, this is a very bad game.

The plot of this game is an excuse. There is a runner in the Olympics named QWOP who suddenly lost his ability to walk. he needs to finish the race in the competition. This is a terrible excuse for a plot. I know I've said in an earlier post that the plot does not matter in a good game, but this is not a good game!

This game is a very challenging game and the only reason I think it is popular is because of how difficult it is. I will admit that after i fell the first time I was aggravated and wanted to beat it but after 10 tries it became the dumbest game ever.

DON'T EVER WASTE YOUR TIME PLAYING IT! IT IS A STUPID GAME!

Super Smash Bros. Brawl




Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

 Game characters


What's up, gamers, this is Pvt.Awsum with another spectacular blog. Sorry we haven't posted one in a while. It's just that we've been busy.......playing new games for us to review! Today's blog is gonna be about Super Smash Brothers Brawl! You see, what I like about Nintendo is that general games that come out like Assassin's Creed 3, or Call of Duty, they come out on all platforms. But Nintendo games, like this one, are only out on Nintendo consoles. So HA! PS3 and Xbox 360! This game is exclusively Wii! All right, let's get started!
Gameplay: 15/15
The gameplay is great! You can choose from 39 different characters, including the Nintendo characters we all know like Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and the Star Fox characters and and up to 41 different levels in multiplayer mode! There are many different modes to choose from like the variety of multiplayer modes, the Classic and All-Star 1P modes, and the 1 or 2P mode, the Subspace Emissary.This is more of the adventure mode that's full of hours and hours of frustration and fun. This is also a great party game. I mean, you can have up to 4 players at a time. I know that every time my friends and I get together at my house, the first, and really the only choice, of game we want to play is this one. And for that, it gets a perfect score.
Graphics: 14/15
The graphics, well, there isn't much to say. The graphics are pretty good, nothing to criticize, really. The one bug that is common in almost every game is the glitch. The good part is that this game has a very few glitches. But the biggest one I've found (it's not that big) is that the characters in multiplayer mode sometimes kind of go inside of each other. Again, not that big.
Lasting Appeal: 12/15
Now, even though this game has a whole 1 player story mission, the better part of this game is the multiplayer. I've tried to play this game alone, but the plot just gets confusing. Like I said, just like Mario Kart and all of the Mario Parties, this is another great party multiplayer game that you can add to the long list of Mario party games.



To conclude, here are the final ratings:

Gameplay: 15/15
Graphics: 14/15
Lasting Appeal: 12/15
Overall Score: 14/15

BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thanks for viewing my blog over stjmz's, guys (:p). Be expecting more blogs from me and stjmz soon, and I will see you soon. See ya!

Metroid Prime (Game Cube)

Metroid Prime (Game Cube)
Game Cover
How's it going, people of the inter webs, this is Pvt.Awsum bringing you my next blog on our website. This one's going to be about a very old game with a character maybe half of the people reading this will know. I'm talking about Metroid Prime, and I mean the very first one that came out in 2002 for the Game Cube. I've probably had this game for 7 years, but I've only played this game once, so let's see how it goes.
Gameplay: 14/15
I have to admit, at first, the gameplay in this was pretty crappy. But after restarting over and over, I warmed up to this old idea. The basic thing is that this is mainly a first person viewer/shooter game. Basically, you are Samus. Your helmet has all of your info, like maps, which can be pretty useful when the time comes. You start out with the basic things: a infinite ammo blaster, a finite ammo rocket launcher, and the famous ability to turn into a ball! I think that concept was originally from this game. Also, there's this really cool scanner feature in the helmet where you can scan things only with a certain sign on them. You use this feature a lot in this game. I really can't talk about boss fights, because, like I said, I just started playing. The thing that really frustrates me is that your enemies (or at least the first ones) don't die without getting shot like a hundred times. It really BUGS me!!!!
Graphics: 14/15
Considering this game was developed in 2002, I guess the graphics are pretty good. I mean, you can tell what most of the things are even though most of the creatures are made up, but still okay. A problem point for me was the brightness. It would be okay most of the time, but in some places of the level, when it was in a hall or a room, it kind of got a little too dark. But overall, good graphics.
Plot: 14/15
The plot seems simple at first, but it progressively got more and more complex. It starts out with Samus at a space station. You are supposed to fix it or something. And when you reach the middle, you fight a boss named the "Parasite Queen".Don't be confused by the name; this thing is big and ugly! Anyways, after you beat it, you have to evacuate. Once you're off the station you crash land on some planet that looks like Earth from the air and on the surface. Where I left off was I was on the planet, I guess looking for a way off, but I didn't even know where to go! The map was just honeycombs! But besides that, good plot.



Let's wrap it up with the final ratings:
Gameplay: 14/15
Graphics: 14/15
Plot: 14/15
Overall Score: 14/15

If you are a fan of Samus, and maybe even first person shooters like this, the I might suggest you should

BUY IT!!!!!!!

Thanks for reading my blog without getting bored in the middle (I hope!). Keep watching for more blogs, but until then, this is Pvt.Awsum saying peace!

Happy Wheels (PC)




Happy Wheels (PC)


Opening page

How's it going, all of you in cyber land, this is Pvt.Awsum, coming at you with my very first PC game review!!! The game I will be playing is Happy Wheels!! Now, unless you haven't had internet connection for the last 1 1/2 years, or unless you live under a rock, you've probably played this game. This is one of my FAVORITE PC games. In fact, I had to call dibs just to write a blog on this game so that Stjmz wouldn't get to do it (in your FACE, Stjmz!!). Alright, let's go on, shall we?
Gameplay: 15/15
This game is SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Basically, you can play levels where you get to choose who you want to be out of nine characters which include really random people, like a guy on a giant lawn mower, an irresponsible dad (that's his actual name, he has a kid in a backseat), even an old hobo-ish looking guy in a tricked out wheelchair. My favorite character would be the Pogo stick guy. But that's not even the best part! You can also play levels made by real people! It's amazing! But wait! There's more! You can even become a Happy Wheels member, and you can make your own levels, too, for the whole world of Happy Wheels to play! I don't think there's a single thing wrong with the gameplay.
Graphics: 15/15
The graphics look great! If you're able to find a decent level, you can see how much detail you can put into this game. Also, there's a blood effect: when you break a part of your body off, like an arm, blood will come out. But, if you don't like all the gory blood coming out, there's a slider for all the pacifists out there where you can turn off the blood! But if you're not a pacifist, and you think the blood looks too fake, there's a slider for that too. You can go from fake blood to super real textured blood in an instant. One problem that I found, only because my computer is lagging, so I won't take off points, was that every time you played a packed level, meaning it was packed with items and junk, the character's speed would slow down. But that's my problem. This game is great!
Lasting Appeal: 15/15
I have no doubt that you will be hooked to this game after you figure it out. In fact, I just played it right before typing this sentence! I recommend this game to all gamers, except for anyone younger than 9 3/4 or pacifist gamers that only play games like Kinectimals (no offense). And why not play? It's free! It's fun! I suggest you go play this game, right after you finish reading this blog, of course.



To sum it all up, here are my final ratings:
Gameplay: 15/15
Graphics: 15/15
Lasting Appeal: 15/15
Overall Score: 15/15
This is probably my all-time favorite PC game, only because I really don't play many PC games; I'm a console guy, but I still suggest to you that since the game is free to play, you really should

PLAY IT!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to thank you for tuning into my blog. I will hope to see you next time on our blog website. But for now, this is Pvt.Awsum saying keep on playing! Peace!

Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing (Wii)





Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing (Wii)

Game Cover

What is up, gamers, this is Pvt.Awsum, with another spectacular blog on a video game. Today I will be blogging about Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing. This game is basically an awesome mash up of Sega and a Mario-like racing simulator, which combines to have great characters, great levels, and even better powerups!
Gameplay: 14.5/15
I don't think there's much to complain about the gameplay. This game is basically a Mario Kart made by Sega, but what's to complain about it? Everyone loved Mario Kart! The controls are just like Mario Kart's, except it has this super awesome drift feature which gives you an amount of boost depending on how much you drift. And onto the level setup, you get a choice of what kind of game you want to play. There's a quick race, multiplayer (up to 4 people), and different kinds of races, like knockout, a fun racing mini game where you can't be in last, because every about 10 seconds, they "knock" you out! The only thing that would make this game better is a combat level, like in Mario Kart. The only problem (which isn't that bad, considering that I only took off 0.5 points) is that when you start the game, you don't have all the level or all the characters. The game gets you to keep playing to accumulate points to buy all of that stuff. The characters that you already have are still great (my favorite racer's Sonic, who's already unlocked). But like I said, it isn't a big problem.
Graphics: 15/15
The graphics in this game are just like any other game that I've reviewed (with the exception of Madagascar, those graphics weren't so good): great, with no glitches. You see, that's what's tricky about the graphics category. If there's nothing wrong with the graphics, what do you write about? But I digress. Overall, the graphics are not a problem point to me.
Lasting Appeal: 13/15
Now, although this game is great and all with one racing cups and the missions, the best quality of this game is the multiplayer aspect, and, of course, you can't play multiplayer without multiple players! This game is a great party game, where you and three of your friends can just race it out. This game (this is the 1P part) would last you a while before you start getting tired of the same thing over and over again. And that's where the store comes in. You buy new thing from keeping this game from becoming an "antique".



To end out, here are my final ratings:
Gameplay: 14.5/15
Graphics: 15/15
Lasting Appeal: 13/15
Final Score: 14/15

To conclude this meet, Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing is a great game and I suggest that you...

BUY IT!!!!!!!!

Thanks for tuning into my blog, and thank you for helping me and Stjmz get to 100 page views!!!!!! Yeah, we're pathetically excited at the smallest things, but this is big for us. Alright, I'll catch you guys next. Pvt.Awsum out!

Madagascar (Game Cube)



Madagascar (Game Cube)

Madagascar Cover


Hello Internet people, this is Pvt.Awsum, with another amazing blog about a game. This time, I'll be blogging about the very first Madagascar game for the Game Cube. This isn't really the very best game I have ever played in my life, but it's a good game to play now and then sometimes. All right, let's get started!
Gameplay: 12/15
The gameplay in this game isn't all that good, but it's kind of fun to play when you have nothing else to do. To sum it all up, you go on adventures through the different levels to advance. In each level you are either Mary, Gloria, Alex, Melman, or the head of the spy penguins? As you progress in the levels, the map shows you your tracks from New York to somewhere in the middle of Madagascar. The biggest problem I have with this game is that I thought that it would be somewhat related to the story, but overall, basically  half is actually from the movie to me. But that's probably because I only remember half the movie. Still, I really think that it isn't about the game, they always add random stuff to make the game more exciting, like scenarios that the movie wasn't even close to adding to the movie. But it is a god effort on their part to be able to put the movie and their add-ons into one merged product.
Graphics: 10/15
This may be just my game, but there were many glitches. Like when I tried to dodge something, my feet would be in the ground and I couldn't move! To make things simple: the graphics aren't very good. Sometimes, the scene get so dark you can't even see your little tracker thingumabob that keeps track of your points, number of lives, etc. And if you can't see that, then what's the use of it? Anyways, that was a big reason, but that's not all. The characters don't even look like they did in the movie! Isn't that the whole purpose of the movie game? To play out what the characters did in the movie? It doesn't make any sense to me.
Lasting Appeal: 11/15
To make a long story short, this game gets boring after the first hour or so of playing, but that's only because the beginning is made up of mostly cut scenes telling you what to do or what's happening. The only reason this got a 12/15 and not something lower is because when I started playing this game again to blog on it, I had already gotten past the cut scene parts, making the rest of the game more appealing, but enough to get a 15/15. But overall, it's okay, I guess.


To conclude this blog, here are the final ratings:
Gameplay: 12/15
Graphics: 10/15
Lasting Appeal: 11/15
Overall Score: 11/15

I would recommend this game mainly to kids and people who haven't seen Madagascar. So, if you fit in those categories, then I suggest you...
BUY IT!!! 

Thanks for reading my third blog, tune in for another original Pvt.Awsum blog. I will see you next time. No, literally, I'M WATCHING YOU!!!!! Just kidding. See ya!

Super Mario Sunshine (Game Cube)



Super Mario Sunshine (Game Cube)


Super Mario Sunshine Game Cover

OMG! It's a Game cube Game! That's right folks, this is Pvt.Awsum, bringing you my next blog. This one will be about a very "ancient" game named, as you read at the top (duh), Super Mario Sunshine. Now I know that they don't sell Game cubes anymore. But lucky me! I had gotten a Game cube for some past Christmas, or whatever. But that ship had already sailed, and I had to play this on my Wii...Oh well. Going back to the game, this is a really fun game to me. It has Mario, who is my favorite Nintendo character (Spider Man's still my #1 all time favorite), and you have this weird, high tech, water pump thing named FLUDD, I think (I know right, such creative names!) Together, Mario and FLUDD work together to clean up the Delphino Isle (or Island?) because of a graffiti crime that he had been framed for by the main villain (I don't know who it is, I haven't even beaten half of the game). But overall, this is one exceptional game.
Gameplay:  13/15
I would just like to note that no matter how much stjmz blabs on about how much Little Big Planet is sooooo much better that Spider Man, at least Spider Man isn't a little beanbag with eyes that runs around doing nothing. To continue with this review, in this game, there's a lot of free roam, which allows you to kind of explore the home island or the level you're on. Mario goes on adventures, trying to capture the mysterious graffiti artist while, of course, cleaning up the artist's messes along the way. I think that the highlight of the gameplay would be the intense bosses in each story level, like a giant mechanical Bowser that breathes fire, a gigantic Petey the Piranha Plant, and, an old classic, the Wigglers. Also, along the way, there are some levels which are kind of like a mini game, but with more dangers and deaths. Also, to make things better, there is fruit in the game which you can pick up and throw at people, making it all worthwhile when you can hear them yelling at you in a gibberish language! The only real downside, which is kind of big, of this whole game would be that to get to the actual bosses of each level, there's always an obstacle, and I don't mean like a few small enemies. I mean you have to either solve some puzzle (for the mini game levels) or even clean up like half or more of the island, which is a pain in the coccyx because there's SO. MUCH. GRAFFITI!!!!! But other than that, it's really fun.
Graphics: 15/15
Now, although this is a very old game (came out in 2002), I think that Nintendo has done very good job of not making the graphics horrible. For example, you can tell what everything is, unlike some other games I've played which have had some messed up graphics. Back to what I was saying, the graphics: great. You can perfectly tell where light is coming from or what kind of fruit you're picking up. It's those little things in a game that make it better.
Lasting Appeal: 11/15
This will be the other rating I will rate games on occasionally. Moving on, this may be a great game and all, but there's just something to it that makes you think, "Why am I playing this game?". It may be good to play for maybe a week or so continuously, but after that the lasting appeal just goes downhill. But don't get me wrong, this is a great game to play once in a while.


To wrap it up, here are the final ratings:
Gameplay: 13/15
Graphics: 15/15
Lasting Appeal: 11/15
Overall Score: 13/15

I really love this game, and, if you have a Game Cube or Wii, I'm sure you'll like it too.

BUY IT!!

Thanks for tuning into my next blog, keep on the lookout for a third one! Until next time, this is Pvt.Awsum, saying keep on playing.




If you liked this game, I suggest buying a pre-owned copy because I looked it up, and a new copy costs around $140.00.
