As always I'm late with my monthly blogs
. Well it was quite an intresting month, school started, had a lot of fun and all that comes with that. The summer is going away but I still can enjoy temperature above 20*C. The were some intresting news also, and yesterday was the 10th anniversary of Dreamcast, that console was way underrated by public. Also GameSpot's new feature "All-time greatest Video Game Hero" was also unpredictable. Master Chief lost in round 1, Pac Man head on head against Kirby, and now Sonic lossing against the same characters which won against Matser Chief aka Bub & Bob and Cloud has a hard time against Little Mac. Now let the MB starts

If it should never fail, then why prepare an error message and put it in the operating system? ![]()

Since I can't get something better: Master Chief lossing to Bub & Bob in GS ATG

C'mon Microsoft, Only announcing Fable III on GamesCom and again it wants a strong market in Europa, no wonder PlayStation is dominant over here.

Marvel been bough by Dinsey?
A $4 billion takeover, never saw this coming


GamesCom held in Germany, Cologne (or Köln)

Which do you like more, the old or the new design of PlayStation 3?
Guess that's all for this Monthly Blog so till next time have fun and here is the link to the other Monthly Blogs
.
September 1, so2 days to go and school starts for me. I will have 10 classes/courses, but the teaching system is different then in U.S. so don't just go
. I will have 3 languages (Bosnian, German and English), Math, Economic Mathematic, Psihical Education (glad to have it, I can release my stress from school on it
), marketing, Economy-Bussines, Information Technology (releated to Economy-Bussines) and the next name is only one subject and it's called Civic Education, democracy and civil rights. Now to let school behind. Like I said I made my brackets, but I would loved if GameSpot allowed us to show our brackets to our friends. My fav heroes from the list is are Cloud Strife and Kratos but my final four are Mario, Master Chief, Mario and Link, with Mario and Snake in finals and Snake winning (even though I'm not a big of Snake but I don't want Mario to win
). And I added one more emblem to my collection for voting in the qualification of ATG
Now let start with #7 of genre countdown:
________________________________
#7: Shooters
Shooter games are a subgenre of action game, which often test the player's speed and reaction time. Because "shooters make up the majority of action games", it is a fairly it's own genre. It includes many subgenres that have the commonality of focusing "on the actions of the avatar using some sort of weapon. Usually this weapon is a gun, or some other long-range weapon". A common resource found in many shooter games is ammunition.

Killing people is fun, but killing zombies is more fun.
For many shooters are by far there favorite genre and until the wide spreading of the 5th generation of conoles, only people who played shooters and RPG were called gamers. I myself started to play shooter when I was 12 years
. Even then I played CoD, Counter-Strike, Battlefield and those games at the begin. I never was big fan of shooters but the amount of shooter games that are coming out is imense and if you don't play them you are probably missing most of the best games of a pariculary year. Without further ado let's see which are my favorite franchises out there from this genre (the one I still need to play is Unreal Tournament) :
1) Crysis
2) Bioshock
3) Half-Life
4) Medal of Honor
5) Doom
6) Far Cry
7) Quake
8 ) Battlefield
9) Call of Duty
______________________________
That was number 7. The next blog will probably be my monthly blog, and after that I'm planning to make a blog of my most anticipated games of this fall
. Ramadan, a month of fasting and for Muslims the most holy month of the year, started 9 days ago, and since I'm a Muslim, we are fasting since the true dawn to dusk, so that means no water or food in that time. And to be honest it really can be hard to fast for 15-16 hours on a day
.
Also, these are the genres which are still in race:
Platformers, Action-Adventure (stealth, survival-horror, open world games), Adventure, Role-Playing games (Action RPG, MMORPG, Tactical RPG), Startegy (Real-Time Strategy, Tower defense, 4X, Real-Time tactics, Turn-based strategy, Turn-based tactics) and Puzzle.
See ya and have fun ![]()
I think it's time to show number 8 of this countdown. Also, GameSpot's feature All Time Greatest Game Herohas came to the stage where we are allowed to make our brackets, so if you haven't made yours do it now, the voting starts at September 1, and the finals are on October 15. I will only say that there are some matches already at the begin and some characters which many doesn't know (I didn't knew for 20 of those characters
). Also, I've been playing Final Fantasy VI for SNES mostly because I heard great things about it, but the real thing that motivated me to play itwas a user, dark_massenger, who wrote just great things about it in his blogs
. And the new emblem which I got is cute
, here it is:
What? OTS is evolving!

#8: Vechicle based games
Why vechicle based games? I didn't wanted just driving or racing, that's why. This genre is divided in two groupes, simulations, which wants to bring the reallity as close as possible, and arcade which wants to bring as much fun as possible. Because the market want's fun and not frustration because of failing, the simulation subgenre of this genre is decreasing in numbers of released games.

Arcade...

...or simulation
I'm someone who preffers challenge and that's why I preffer simulation. I'm playing this genre since I'm gaming so that's means some 12-13 years. I played many games from this genre but my favorites are:
1) Gran Turismo series
2) Need for Speed series
3) Burnout series
4) Mario Kart series
5) Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.
_______________________________
That was my number 8
. I think my next blog will be number 7 of this countdown, but after that comes the monthly blog and I thinking to make a blog of my most anticipated games of this fall (I throw the idea away to make a blog about GamesCom
).
Oh, and these are the genres which are still in the race:
Platformers, Shooters, Action-Adventure (stealth, survival-horror, open world games), Adventure, Role-Playing games (Action RPG, MMORPG, Tactical RPG), Startegy (Real-Time Strategy, Tower defense, 4X, Real-Time tactics, Turn-based strategy, Turn-based tactics) and Puzzle.
See ya and have fun ![]()
