Article about Goodbyes.

It's a normal day, you log into Facebook and you see everyone posting depressing statuses.

It's that time of year again, students are going off to college, friends are being broken apart and everyones depressed. It's at that point I realized, what if goodbyes really aren't good? I mean...Sure, sometimes they're happy goodbyes, you see a friend go off to college to start a new chapter in their life. But other times, it's sad.

A family member or close friend passes away, it's sad. But it can also be a happy thing. If you're the religious type, and they've lived a wonderful life, then you know they're in a better place. That's the happy side of death, but for example, sometimes you're really close to the love one you lost, well, of course you'd be depressed for a while. But after a while, you'd be getting over it easier and easier. It may be hard, but sometimes it's what you'd have to do.

Now onto college goodbyes, sure you'd have to say goodbye for a while, but you know sometimes the person who goes off to college comes back. Or they don't, it's hard to really think about. But sometimes, goodbyes don't mean forever. I know many people have had to say goodbye to their friends as they go off to college, and honestly, I don't know their pain. Most of my friends have stayed around here for college, and others of my friends I just lost contact with. College is a different chapter in a person's life, we just to remember that.

But does goodbye really mean forever?

That's a question that's answered with time.

Mass Effect 3. (Xbox 360 and PS3.)

It's time to take earth back from the Reapers.
---------------

Alright, I'm not a huge fan of the Mass Effect series, but this is definitely one of my favorite games by far in the series. Surprisingly I enjoyed it, I didn't really enjoy the first 2 games, but this one...This one was amazing, it was out of this world. (Almost literally.)

But you know, there aren't many games like this. A over the shoulder 3rd-Person Shooter. I haven't seen a lot of 3rd Person shooters, but this is one amazing game. I can't describe how much I love this game. I know a lot of people don't like the ending, at all. Like, throwing riots over it. But still, the ending wasn't bad at all in my opinion. I don't think that game companies need to change 'cause of everyone elses thoughts.

Anyway, that's really all I have to say...This game is fun, the multiplayer is fun too, and that's one of the biggest parts of the game.

(Sorry for the short review guys, and sorry it's been so long. I'm having really bad writer's block and I'm trying to get a job and I just graduated high school over the weekend. But I'm really sorry for the short review and writers block, just wanted to publish something this month.)

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (Full Review.)

Review (Part 1: The First 3 Dungeons.) 


Remember the first time you played Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64 back in the 90's? I sure do, and I'm 18! This game has been one of the best games in video game history, it was definitely one of the best games on the Nintendo 64, but also one of the best games of that generation. And now, it's back, in stunning High Definition and 3D! This, is the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D! Exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS!

I know a lot of you absolutely love this game, this is an amazing game. And beside the point of Navi going, "HEY! HEY! LISTEN!" It's a crap-load of fun, and anyone can play it. While I'm not going to write a full review yet due to the fact that I have not completed the game, nor Master Quest, I'm sure that some more will come.

Alright, onto the reviewing! The first dungeon, obviously is The Great Deku tree. Which is definitely the easiest of all the dungeons. I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone, but this dungeon is really easy to get through, and anyone can get through it within 10-15 minutes max.

The second dungeon, Dodongo's Cavern, is fairly harder. In this area you get the bombs, yay for bombs! This dungeon features many different puzzles, oh, and be careful if you go in with a Deku shield, get hit by a Fire Keese and you'll lose it. So I suggest going to the graveyard and finding the Hylian shield under the gravestones. (Trust me, I found it and didn't know about it.)

The third Dungeon, Jabu Jabu's Belly. Is the final dungeon in the Young Link Part of the game. This dungeon, is annoying. Within this you'll find the boomerang. But, there's a really, really, really annoying part in the game. You have to carry around Princess Ruto. Which is very, very annoying and takes up a lot of your time. Sadly, during this dungeon, really sadly actually, it took me three hours to beat. Due to me not being able to figure out how to get into the boss room. 

So that's it for the Part 1 Review, next review will be up when I finish the next part of the game. Which I don't know how long it will be, and part 3 and 4 will be up when I beat Master Quest, and try out the Boss Battles.
Part 2: The Meddalions and the New Temples.

So as you know, in the original Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. They had different dungeons when you became "Adult Link." And all of them each with new challenges, and of course, the dreaded Water Temple. Just the name gives me chills typing this up. But yet, something's different in this game. It's not just a simple port to the 3DS, they've changed something...Wait...The Water Temple...It's...It's easier! That's right, the dreaded Water Temple is easier. So, much easier, but that's beside the point. When you get past all the dungeons and get the medallions you can finally go to the final fight with Ganondorf. And may I say, it's a walk in the park. Until you get to his second form...But no spoilers for you guys!

Alright well this is the full review for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Stay tuned for new reviews coming soon!

Angry Birds: Space. (iOS, Android, PC, Mac.)

So, a lot of people love the Angry Birds series, (Including me, I LOVE it.) But this one, was quite a step for developers Rovio Mobile. And it, was one giant step for mankind.

Rovio Mobile has developed one of the best games in the series, to be honest, it's more challenging, and a lot more fun! With new additions such as the Ice Bird. Which can freeze blocks and pigs. (Fun eh?) Also, the other birds had some new changes as well. The Red Bird is still the same, but he has a costume change! In fact, all of them have a costume change. Now they all look like superheroes! And a BIG change to the game? No more Green (Boomerang) Bird,  or White Bird. Of course, who in their right minds used them anyway? (Just saying...)

But alas, this game is quite a different change of pace for the birds. The Golden eggs have changed to Eggsteroids, which are still the same, but as you hit one, you get a black hole and you go through it mid-level and do the mini-game. Which is pretty cool honestly.

While the game just got released about a week ago, they don't have many levels. But just wait, like all the other Angry Birds games, they're going to be releasing new levels in time, and I can't wait to see what's next!

Twisted Metal (2012 | Video Game Review)

It's been years since the last Twisted Metal game has come out, but now, the carnage is back. And it's better than ever.

So I'm not sure how long it's been since the last Twisted Metal game has came out, but when this game was announced last year, I'm pretty sure all hardcore fans were all excited and going crazy. Me? I wasn't too hardcore of a Twisted Metal fan at the time, but I knew what it was and I knew that it seemed fun.

But oh boy, was this game worth the wait! I know some people didn't like it, as G4 Posted on their Google+ Page a link to a blog that pretty much trashed this game and all it's glory. Cheeky b**tard.

Well anyone as all Twisted Metal fans know, this game is amazing. Even if it's your first time playing the Twisted Metal series, you won't be disappointed with this game. I can GUARANTEE you that.

While the story is kind of short, it's a lot of fun, and definitely challenging. There is a pretty hard Gold trophy that you can get if you beat the story mode without dying or switching out vehicles. Too bad that's pretty much impossible. I attempted to do that myself, but unfortunately, I couldn't get the job done. (Sad face.) The boss battles are quite a challenge, but definitely fun and definitely worth a play.

A lot of games don't normally have a live action cut-scene, this game does. And it's REALLY amazing. It definitely adds a good feel to the game, it makes you feel really good. Just. Really, freakin', good.

Ahem. Anyway, back to the cut-scenes. Like I said the live action cut-scenes make you feel like this could actually happen. And from what I've heard...They're talking about a Twisted Metal MOVIE. That's right, a Freakin' MOVIE! *Fanboys.*

Back to the basics. Controls are pretty easy to learn and master, sure you'll screw up for a while and I'm pretty sure you'll die during the story so that you won't get your trophy right away, but who cares?! Not this guy. Nope. Not me. Alright, so like I said controls, basic, weapons, basic. If you need help, just go to the training thing. Simple enough right?

Oh, and don't get me started on the Multiplayer. The Multiplayer is SO fun. It's amazing all the gametypes that they have on it!

Alright well I think that's it for my Twisted Metal review...I'll be sure to post a Twisted Metal Black Review considering I got that too. And Twisted Metal 2.

Peace out everyone!
