Before i start id like to say I'm sorry i haven't gotten around to every ones blogs as of late, I've been busy with school but other than that i just haven't been in the mood to do anything as of late so again sorry to those who's blogs i have missed out on. Anyway on to the countdown, (ill try to keep this blog short so as not to blabber on like im prone to)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of writing why i like each song individually im gonna sum up what it think of the series music as a whole then i will list what songs are my favorite. I figured since its near Halloween i should do something for the occasion, and it doesn't really feel like Halloween and October for me until there's a little castlevania present.
As many of you know the Castlevania series is one that has incredible music, among other great things. These themes all represent to me what the series is all about and they have a dark medevil gothic feeling just like the artwork from the games. Some are very calming while others are uplifting or mysterious, which in turn sets the incredible atmosphere that i love about the series. Each theme will have multiple versions for you to listen to, so without further ado here are my top 10 favorite Castlevania themes.

So thats all for the list and i hope you guys liked it.
In other gaming related stuff I finished Zelda Phantom Hourglass and Phoenix Wright pretty quickly since those are two titles ive been meaning to finish for some time. They were both pretty good, PH was alright not great but also not as bad as i had once pegged it to be.

And before i go thanks for reading guys and i leave you with a cell phone render i did in my 3D modeling course. Im not very good at it yet but i think im doing a little bit better, hopefully when all is said and done I can finally move on in my gaming career.
heres the render

Never thought id be doing another blog so soon since i like to space them out a bit but here goes, and no i wont be talking about my school like everyone else cuz i don't want to talk about it, or hear about it.
( take the hint
jk)
So yesterday as i was checking out the tokyo game show coverage i happened on to a post that said Ign was handing out the MGS peace walker demo for free. So i downloaded it as fast as possible onto my psp. First off the game has fantastic production values and the cutscenes are just awesome, mixing in game cutscenes and stylish comic book like ones in the same vain as the ones from portable ops (although they got the main artist to them this time).

The demo first starts you off in a training tutorial but i couldnt really use it since its all in japanese so i used a faq sheet made to show the mapping of the buttons. The controls are smooth and fluid but they take some getting use to since they are rather awkward in a way. In the demo you get to do a few challenge maps from the game which are layed out pretty well and gave me a run for my money since i was still new to the control scheme. The over the shoulder aiming returns from MGS4 and for the most part it works pretty well but i still have to get used to the face buttons controlling the camera. Overall the demo is excellent and i am thrilled that i got a chance to play it, the only thing im wondering about is why in this game cant snake crawl? Miner gripe aside anyone who has a psp and is a metal gear fan should check out this demo

You can download it in the link below for free, there are directions on how to do so and a faq page for control help

Thanks again for reading guys
First off id like to thank everybody who checked out my birthday top ten game blog, thanks for all the great comments guys.
Anyway I thought Id just give an update on a few things gaming wise etc.
Gaming Update
The games ive been playing recently are:
Dissidia Final Fantasy

A great game for the PSP, I need to put quite a bit more time into it but there are plenty of fun battles to be had with this game. I recently had a battle in this game with my cousin and he whipped me for the most part since he has a level 100 squall and my highest character (cloud) was only level 28 at the time. Although i managed to get my revenge when i beat him with sephiroth ![]()
Batman Arkham Asylum

Man this game came out of nowhere and knocked it out of the park like no other batman game before it. I am still in shock eidos managed to pull it off in such a fantastic way. It has that batman animated feel which i love but with its art ****and design it has its own atmosphere and feel that differentiate it just enough. Ive beaten it almost 100% but im still working on the challenge mode, and before im done i just gotta say killer croc looked awesome.
Muramasa the Demon Blade

I have been waiting for this game for what feels like forever and im glad the time has finally come. The design and artwork of this game is incredible, and it gets me wondering what if nintendo or another company hired this dev team to make one of their big franchises? *hopes for vanillaware kid icarus*
Anyway the game is a load of fun, it gets a bit repetitive at times but the blade crafting and the metroid like overworld keep things interesting as far as im concerned. Ive beaten Kisuke's story and I'm part way through momohime's right now, and the story for each character is pretty deep and the japanese lore is very interesting and awesome.
The Beatles RockBand

So this is my first music/rhythm game, not the first i have played just the first i have ever owned. Overall id say its pretty good, Ive always been a fan of their music and this game definitely does them justice. My parents seem to love just watching me play it since they are huge beatles fans so its cool that they can actually get into it. I still need alot of practice since im not very good but im doing a bit better. My only beef with the game is that there is only 45 songs, it may sound like a bit but the set of songs i have now is already losing its luster a bit, guess ill have to wait till they milk me for the DLC ![]()

Gaming Industry Rant

Activision Your head is far too big
Ok i usually don't rant about stuff too much other than one of my blogs about the dragonball movie and the fact i dislike how many people overuse or misuse the word overrated. But i just gotta say activision is throwing their weight around way too much lately, especially their CEO Bobby Kotick. The fact that almost every game that would have come out this year has cowered in fear of COD modern warfare 2 which in turn has caused them all to move to 2010 just bugs me to no end. These guys are way worse than EA ever was, first off the quality of a lot of their games has seriously gone down and most have now become annual rehashes and follow ups to franchises they can milk. And whats worse is all the badmouthing they have been doing to other companies and developers, like the whole suing EA and double fine for brutal legend, and all their cheap shots at rockband and possibly the worst two are when they claimed they wouldn't support the PS3 anymore and when the CEO said that if he could raise gaming prices even higher that hed do it in a heartbeat if they let him. I have liked some of their games in the past but they have become a creature that is almost unrecognizable and I'm just sick of them treating the industry and their customers like crap. Oh and i don't blame blizzard for this in anyway, they are just unfortunately combined with activision now.
-End Rant

Collection and other stuff
The Gundam 00 anime is coming to an end on the syfy channel so ill have to find a new anime to get into again
But anyway I got another gundam 00 model recently and i finally finished it, and it turned out i think better than the first one.

This one may look the same since its the same gundam but its a bit larger since its the 1/100 scale and it has much more detail and it has one other aspect that makes it pretty cool.

That's right the GN Drives (solar engines) in the shoulders glow since they have LED lights, a bit of a gimmick but awesome looking non the less IMO.

Yea id say I have enough gundam models to tide me over for a bit now. Here's the two gundam 00 models and my recently acquired wing zero custom model. Oh and for those who haven't experienced gundam wing maybe you should take a look Gundam Wing AMV
Oh and before i forget i decided to update my sig, tell me what you guys think of it

Well anyway that's all, thanks for reading guys and i hope i didn't ramble on too much for you. Have a great weekend everyone ![]()
