Here is the URL http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/dead-space-2-gameplay/342463?playlist=featured WARNING!!!!---Head may A-Splode from too much awesome.

Videogame Emotions: Loneliness

Over much thought...(haha)... I have decided that the Japanese are obsessed with loneliness. The art of feeling solitude, all alone, and without company. Well, to the games then. I am going to give two main examples; Silent Hill 2 and Shadow of the Colossus--- All of the Silent Hill games attempt to exercise and invoke the feeling of being alone, but i feel the one that succeeds the most is number two which is often considered the best and most frightening of the terrifying series. I can't help but agree. But fear is another emotion. The way Silent Hill 2 exercises loneliness in such an expert way are not only the Fog Sections, but the Otherworld as well. The ememies are somewhat abundant, but they are just unhuman and just silent enough that it makes your mind travel into the darkest most depressing part of solitude. There's no way to describe it. Just play it.
The next wonderfully lonely game is Shadow of the Colossus... but I'll make part II of this article later, soon I promise. Sorry for the late posting.

Emotions In Life/Gaming: Sadness

Sadness. One of the worst emotions ever. Unfortunately though it seems to be one that likes to rear it's ugly face much more than desired, even in video games. I had e relatively morbid day today so I decided to post on sadness and it's relation to our favorite hobby. The most talked about moment in video games that makes nerds everywhere shed tears, and that is (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!): Aeris's Death in Final Fantasy VII. After getting to know and possibly bond with her throughout the game the geniuses at Square Enix threw an unforgettable curve-ball and had the infinitely awesome Sephiroth kill her. Forever. No pheonixdown ressurection. At all. It made grown men cry. BUT!!!! I have never played that game so I really don't know.... I have played Chrono Trigger though which at times was very sad. The one time I can remember right now is...MINOR SPOILER ALERT---When you go to Destroy a factory with newly found Robot friend Rob. When you are on your way out of the detonating factory. You run into Rob's robot companions. The music becomes very melancholy and the Robots tell Rob he is a defect for not killing you and you are helpless as they take your friend apart right in front of you. =( I'll do another Emotion post soon. Hopefully a happier one.

Mega Awesome

If you know old games, you know that they are hard(Awesome). The two main culprits of this are Castlevania and Mega Man. I'm a big fan of both, but uh, for today we talk about MEGA MAN! Alright Dr. Wily is an old guy that builds Robot Masters that are basically terrorist weapons. You were built by Dr. Right/Light; as Mega Man and you have to go destroy the Robot Masters (And steal their weapons!!!!!!!1!!) and save the world---Super original. Okay, so the reason I brought this up is because Mega Man 10 just came out and is too easy, bleh. Personally I think you should all go buy Mega Man 9 on Wiiware PSN or XBLA. Yeah, it's hard. Yeah, that's the way it's supposed to be. So yeah, awesome developers making awesome Retro-type-games. Why wouldn't you support that? Go buy Mega Man 9 and 10(If that floats your boat =/).

RPG Thursday: Chrono Trigger

Okay this is something I am probably going to start doing weekly/monthly(Good RPG's=Rare). Okay, this week i have chosen to write about Chrono Trigger(SNES, DS). This game is AWESOME. The story actually shocked me at points. Legitimately made me go "Holy Crap!". The gameplay is probably the most enjoyable RPG gameplay I have used. The battles happen using the ingame sprites unlike the older Final Fantasies, the attacks are amazing and balanced, and there is very little grinding. The graphics are stunning. They really draw you into the game, which is hard to do with 16-bits. All and all I freakin love this game. You should all play it!

Controversy in Gaming

Sigh, I love a good controversial story or action. Mass Effect 1, Modern Warfare 2's No Russian (One of two meaningful missions, in the ENTIRE single player) Doom, and loads others the gaming world alone has faced. Without ranting about the stupidity of Fox News, let's move on. Mass Effect made a point, as did No Russian (kinda badly, but still). Those are good examples. Now it's time for the bad -_-. Dante's Inferno. Ugh. Dante's Inferno was obviously trying to be a God of War game and adhere to it's fanbase. Like I have previously mentioned one of God of War's most demeaning features is the nudity. Oh. My. Gosh. Dante's Inferno makes God of War look like Harvest Moon. The game tried so hard to be controversial it ended up looking like fan-made garbage pile, furthering peoples purchasing decisions toward GOOD action games. Yeah it's God of War with more nudity in it and that is a very, very bad thing. Okay Rant Status: Over. I hope you can now see that there is a line, much like the uncanny valley, in which Developers need to know about. It's the controversy line; one side makes you look courageous and thoughtful, the other side makes you look like a child. I think you know which is which.

The GameOverThinker and Battlefield Bad Company 2

Alright today was a mixed bag of emotions. Lot's of these emotions involving uprising and standing up for good purposes. Today I watched an episode of The Game Over Thinker on screwattack.com (g1's FTW!) where he talked about building a better gamer. No he doesn't give tips on "how to prestige" or anything like that. He talks about real issues and it's really well done. It may make some of you angry, but if you go in trying to be a better person you will definetly be rewarded (Warning: Contains some Cussing if you're easily offended) . In other news Battlefield Bad Company 2 is looking absolutely amazing. I'll probably review it if I buy it >.<. Check out some amazing Gameplay on Gametrailers.com if you want.

God of War Sadness

I am a Sony follower all the way (Don't hate appreciate, I'm not a fanboy). As most of you probably know God of War III is a PS3 exclusive coming very soon... and it looks AWESOME! Th scale is awesome, the story is awesome, the action is awesome, but it's got Nudity and Sex used in a pointless crude way. Ugh, facepalm. That just lost my sixty bucks because of that. Y_Y Not saying I'm for censorship or anything, but couldn't this have been done in a different way? Oh well, I'll just play Bayonetta instead! (Irony intented)

My gaming point of view start up

This is the start up of My gaming point of view or MGPOV. In this blog I will give my, an actual gamer's, point of view on the Gaming Industry and things of the like. I might rant sometimes, haha, it's just in my nature. If you're reading this, thanks for reading I'll update ASAP and regularly. Feel free to comment. Thanks again, Gamerer
