Gaming Random Thoughts
Games that solely rely on level design (like FPSs, and many platformers) shouldn't look back at the past when those levels were designed within the limitations of their now obsolete hardware. It is best to simply reflect on the ideas that made those levels good, and try to expand upon them in new levels rather than trying to recreate them.
I had an awesome experience the other day that made me hate COD. Thermal optics are clear as day in a building with lights on, both they are a bit more complicated to use and you can t see what's happening around you, the only place you can see is through the scope. They aren't grainy and cloudy like they are in COD. The M4A1 is only 8 lbs and is easy to run with, and the EO Tech sight (Holographic/Reflex for you COD kids) reticule changes position based on what angle you are looking from. If it is slightly of center while you look down the sight it will be either right or left of the front sight.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Poor dragon always had Dreamworks face, so I'm not sure why Activision had to hire a Dreamworks designer to do that to him. The concept doesn't seem too terrible.

Dear God! What have they done to my beloved Spyro??
I think that's just a re-animated version of his corpse. Activision let him rot for so long that by the time they got to reviving him there wasn't much left.

What happened to the good old days with Ripto's Rage(the only spyro game I've actually played)?
Universal (the owner of the PSone platformer duo) wanted to sell more games, so they took Crash and Spyro multiplatform in the PS2 gen with developers who weren't as talented. Sony felt they could get away with making new franchises, which would end up being Ratchet & Clank, and Jak & Daxter.
So I played major mask a bit now. So far I like ocarina of time a lot more.
I have never played through all of major mask.
I'm pretty excited for ocarina of time 3ds. That's almost the whole reason I will be getting a 3ds.

I haven't played since Sega megadrive and that was the time when Sonic was at its best; and the only thing that Sonic is more known for is the spinball thing, the whole point of playing Sonic is so that you don't run, but more on the fact that you just spinball all the way through...

There has been a bunch of mobile versions of Crash Nitro Kart that are apparently very different from the early PS2 game.
I haven't played the mobile ones, but they're probably trash.

It's just an Attack. Just like how nowadays The best Attack is obviously the Homing Attack. Which was first introduced in Sonic's 3D Blast. On the SEGA Genesis. Yeah, that's right. Spin Dash sucks these days...

Welp as said before, I have not played the game since Sonic 1 and 2 (MegaDrive and the other Sega)... and for speed runs i just use that attack for no.2... This was over 12 years ago since I actually touched a Sonic game... Heck i never even completed them because I never knew about these cheat code things; so continuously i had to start from level 1...

Yes you are right they are not that good like the original PS2 Version , for even the last time i really want to see Crash Bandicoot Kart Racer on PS3 , It was the best for me , Mario Kart would even be in the stores if a game like Crash Team Racing or Crash Nitro Kart came on all the Major platforms like PS3 , X360 & WII , only mario fans would buy it , i am playing mod nation racers but i am not getting that much interest in it , Sonic & Sega all star racing has better control than MNR , i guess this is a bad year for us Kart Racer enthusiasts
so i am playing fire emblem radiant dawn (for like the 7th time on easy) and i decided to do something crazy, i am going to bring one of every type of laguz (not only royal laguz ) into the tower. this is going to be hard(er) than usual
also, is there even a fire emblem thread, i have searched and never found one... <- offtopic(?)

You know what's also harder than that?
Playing on a higher difficulty than Easy.
I don't want to sound rude, or anything, but what's the point of giving yourself a handicap on the easiest difficulty?

I have a question. Which should I get. A Xbox 360 4GB or Xbox 360 4GB with Kinect?

Btw those i would say the one with kinect , but buy this one Xbox 360 250GB Console it is for $299 & kinect can always be bought later , memory is more important , as xbox 360 allows it's games to be installed on it's HDD , so you can play the game directly from the HDD , you need to put the disk into the tray though but the disk actually doesn't spin so it removes the danger of the disk getting destroyed if you move the console from vertical to horizontal , i lost one of my disk that way , so now i only install games on hdd , no worries now
