Since I have owned 3 Playstation consoles I felt why not do a top 5 countdown of Playstation characters. Now the rule is they don't have to be an exclusive Playstation character its they just have to have had an exclusive title on the Playstation system so here is my list. Hope you enjoy the list.

5.The old Spyro the Dragon: I put the old Spyro of the dragon from the PS1 days pon the list because I thought he had such a good personality. What I loved about the old Spyro was he was strong for such a short dragon and while he always got picked on he took down formidable foes like Gnasty Gnorc,Ripto and the Sorceress.His old style PS1 games were fun and felt close to the style of Mario 64. It was free roaming unlike the early Crash games. So while no match for Mario 64 his games were fun. You played mini games had cool moves and awesome bosses. Shame the purple flaming dragon has fallen apart since Insominac left him for Ratchet and Clank.

4.Doctor Nefarious:Ratchet and Clank series:If you are a Ratchet and Clank fan you know who this guy is. Dr Nefarious is a villain who ated allnon robotic lifeforms and wanted them turned into Robots using a weapon called the Boblitorator. While he hates all living life forms he wasone himself. During an epsiode of the Captain Quark series. He had a history with Captain Quark and ended on being picked on by in school. He ended up falling into a pit and becoming a robot. What makes such an awesome villain is he is evil but he also has a bit of comedy to him as well. He yells at his assistance and sometimes his headgear gets stuck with the lines Janice and Lance which was an old soap oprea which his butler Lawerance has to whack to get him back to normal it usually happens when he goes Qwarrrrrrk. His defeat left him on an asteroid after the 3rd Ratchet and Clank game. When I heard he was the villain in a Crack in Time I just knew this game was gonna be good because he's the best villain in the series and most occurring one as well. He had a rivalry with Captain Qwark but his rivalry with Ratcht and Clank is much more fierce than than his old rivalry with Qwark and he is Secret Agent Clanks number 1 fan.

3.Solid Snake: He isn't an exclusive character but his 4 biggest games were on the Playstation. He is a hero who uses stealth and awesome weapons. He hides in places and is basically one guy you don't want to mess with. He certainly does have help from his assistant Otacon and rivalrly with Liquid Snake. He always seems to get into danger but he always manages to find his way out of it thanks to his skills. He basically has used a rocket launchers,sniper rifles and battled tanks so what more can more say.

Snake from Metal Gear Solid

2.Nathan Drake: Nathan Drake has become one of my personal fan favourites. He has all the attributes of a hero. He is quiet possibly a descendant of Sir Francis Drake is always looking for adventure. He climbs up vines and onto bricks and he also seems to have a bitof charm to him. He has had 2 females over. Elena and Chloe. He has a long friendship with a man named Victor Sullivan. he guy does seem to have a bit of bad luck with certain situations like falling from ropes and getting in trouble with people. He is though an all out action hero. He has handled a tanked and fired from cars and jumped from them too. He has used weapons like renades,rocket launchers,shotguns,magnums and machine guns. He has used stealth as well. He comes out with some good lines as well. He is just looks like an ordinary hero but if you have payed through Uncharted you know he is anything but because the guy basically has all the attribute Heavyweaponry,love intrest and getting himself into trouble.

MY FAVOURITE PLAYSTATION CHARACTER OF ALL TIME IS

1.Ratchet and Clank: I couldn't say which one I perfer more because technically these 2 together are an awesome duo so its basically a joint first place and for good reason. Ratchet and Clank meet on Veldin when Clank crash lands there. The duo basically build a friendship during the game and help each other out. What I like about Ratchet is he has quiet some awesome weapons to use from the series like Suck Cannon,The RYNO,Annihlator,Miniturret Glove,Groovitron and more. He does tease Clank but Clank is use to it. I like Clank because while short he is useful. He has had his own TV showing Secret Agent Clank in Ratchet and Clank 3. He can basically hover and also control other robots. Basically one is without the other. The series has grown on humour,awesome weapons,cool gadgets and action. While on Ratchets back Clank can hover use a Thruster pack and also make hm swim faster. Ratchet has piloted ships,hoverboarded and grinded down rails. Ratchet and Clank are virtually made for each other alone they are good but together they are awesome because they have built a great friendship for each other and hopefully it continues because Ratchet and Clank together make a great partnership.

Ratchet and Clank

So there you go my top 5 Playstation characters. I couldn't quiet manage 10 so I hope you like the list.

These are some of the titles I am getting in the next year you could say and some that I might get. It's quiet a long list so enjoy.

Games I will be getting

Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time: It has virtually just come out in the UK so I have to wait till morning to get it but boy am I looking forward to this.

New Super Mario Bros Wii: 2D Mario sidescroller plus 4 players maximum equals must get in my book. New power ups and challenging levels. Something new and fun that should entertain me in single player and multiplayer.

Zelda Spirit Tracks: It's Zelda what else needs to be said. Zelda games are always good and I am including Phantom Hourglass as well.

God of War Collection: Never played God of War 1 or 2 so I need to play them masterpieces.

God of War 3: It is virtually on every PS3 owners list.

Super Street Fighter 4: At a lower price than a standard game and by how good number 4 was I can't say I aren't looking forward to this and with more moves and characters it should rock.

Gran Turismo 5: A racer I have my eye on. Not a big fan of racing games but the graphics sure do look nice and the game looks amazingly realistic.

Metroid Other M: Samus is been taken in a new direction. We all know Prime was fantastic so why can't this be too.

Mario Galaxy 2: The game I have wanted since I first saw it. If you know by now that its predesscor was the best title on the Wii by far but can the sequel out do it.

Maybes

Tatsunoko vs Capcom: With Tekken 6 letting me down will this please me and the reason I have it as a maybe is because Super Street Fighter 4 will probably be much better and I might not play it that much.

Bayonetta: A game that scored well in Famitsu magazine. I have heard the PS3 version isn't anywhere near as good as the 360 version so maybe that might put me off but should still be good. I just love action packed games.

Sonic and SEGA All Star Racing: One I am on the fence about. It looks to lack the magic of the Mario Kart games.

Project Needlemouse working title: 2D Sonic games normally don't dissapoint but with no footage yet and recent console failures this is anohter maybe.

Zelda Wii working title: It might not come out in 2010 so its a maybe if it was it would be a must get. We have seen nothing just heard a few rumours about it when will Nintendo unevil Links next big adventure through Hyrule.

I aren't 100% sure I will get all the must haves I listed but those I have high expectations for and the maybes while they look promising they might no be able to keep me occupied for hours or a rival title in that gnere is coming out that i will perfer or the fact that it might not even come out yes I am talking about Zelda Wii being a possible 2011.

After the hope I thought Tekken 6 would be good sadly it feels slow and so last gen and virtually just plain boring from what I can say. I have even tried my hardest to like it but it just doesn't have the spark of Street Fighter 4. It feels old and nowhere near as fun.

The main areas that hurt the game are online and single player. Even Dark Resurrection on the PSP was miles better than it and I got that game at a budget price. The single player campaign makes the Subspace Emissary look great. At least with certain single player expereinecs in fighters you get rewards. Here are a few examples.

In Tekken Dark Resurrection you get unlockable mini games and fighting opponents is fun because they get stronger as you play them.

Street Fighter 4 well you complete the Arcade Mode you get unlockable characters. Soul Calibur 2 a game I recently bought even rewards you and has a excellent single player experience called weapons master where you can purchase new weapons and more characters. Even though the Subspace Emiassry in SSBB does suck at least you have an easier way to get characters like Falco,Sonic,Snake,Ganon,Lucario,Luigi,Game and Watch and so on. Tekken 6 basically gives you no reward for its single player.You do get to change your characters outfit but why would I want that it doesn't affect the gameplay or make your character better.

Fighting games aren't about single player but at least some of them do have fun single player. I played World Tour in Street Fighter Alpha 3 which was worth it. Tekken Dojo in Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection and Weapons Master in Soul Calibur 2 and they were all fun and rewarding. Maybe its a good idea SEGA haven't made a Streets of Rage in 3D because thats what it would look like yes Tekken 6. Also the game has one of the cheapest final bosses ever which is about 3 times your size. It makes Seth look like a pushover.

Anyway I have had enough with the game and aren't playing it. I am gonna trade it in on Friday for Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time which isn't out in the UK yet. Can I say I am really looking forward to playing Ratchet and Clank after playing the demo. The game shall keep me busy for about 4 or 5 days when I have it. Tekken 6 is boring and flat and lacks any spark compared to its predesscors and most importantly its rivals. Street Fighter 4,Virtual Fighter 5,Dead or Alive 4,Soul Calibur 4,BlazeBlue Calamity Trigger.

I gave the game a 7.6 and while its not normally a bad score you could say for a series like Tekken it certainly is. The only real reason to play this is if your a die hard fan of the series which I aren't. So I shall be trading it in for Ratchet and Clank which hits the store on Friday in the UK.

These are the reasons why Tekken 6 was dissapointing in my opinion. I am stating facts from fighting games that had fun single player expereinces that were fun to play and not all about multiplayer but Tekken 6 virtually does suck. I aren't being biased towards the series I am being completely honest that against its fighting game counterparts it is trailing well behind them.
