And if you disagree you're a fan boy, but I'm not a fan boy because I own all the consoles so there.

When people tend to think of the plat former genre then the name that is usually associated with it is Mario. Apparently he's done so much for the genre that his name is synonymous with it now. However I'd like use yet another silver bullet on the plumber that refuses to just die, and state that his crown is undeserved. That's right, i said it. I believe that Aladdin is the Platformer King, and I'm going to tell you why.

1. Aladdin has better Physics

Sure Mario may have introduced better control into his jumps, but who can honestly jump that high? especially some midget who eats a mushroom to get to the same size as a turtle? In a world where we strive for realism, I'd like to point out that in Aladdin, the jumps are not outlandish. And if you disagree with me you're clearly a Nintendo fanboy even though Aladdin actually was multiplatform and came out on the Snes (but that doesn't matter to me as I own all the consoles and am not a fanboy). If you jump in Aladdin, you can just about jump onto an enemy, and you can't do a ridiculously long jumps, you need to use a carpet and turn it into a parachute. And these physics are clearly more complex than simple jumping physics that are found in Mario, which are all floaty and just so wrong they make me feel sick. In a world where we strive for realism, This simply shows that Mario should go back to toadstool kingdom with his racoon tail between his legs which he gets from eating a leaf.

2. Aladdin Changes up the game play modes

Run. run. run. run. run. jump jump. run run. Sound familiar? of course it does? it's every single Mario Game! He is a one trick plumber, and it's getting old. 28 years old in fact ha-ha. However Aladdin and the guys at Capcom, who are amazing and brilliant and completely genius unlike that moron Miyamoto. Aladdin has a magic carpet which he rides, he has boss fights, he also changes the game completely depending on what console you play him on. I hear that on the megadrive he has a sword! Mario can't even be bothered to go multiplatform, instead sticking to one company!

3. Princess Jasmine is Hotter than Princess Peach

Well you know it's true...

4. Aladdin's Graphics are better

In today's world where realism is everything, and graphics are valued so highly. Aladdin reaches the pinnacle of plat former realism, see the way his legs flail slightly as he jumps, or how dust comes of a ledge when he pulls himself up. And this is only on his first adventure! compare this to MARIO's first adventure, and you can see why Mario doesn't deserve his crown, he's had a billion attempts at getting the graphics right and he's only just stopped looking like a three year old monkey has drawn him with crayons! I mean for crying out loud look at his proportions! his head is bigger than half his body!

5. Mario is Racist, Aladdin is not.

Capcom have never been racist, from their delicate handling of setting resident evil 5 in war torn Africa, to their totally non stereotypical fighters in Street Fighter. Nintendo on the other hand, are constantly racist. Their unbelievable attacks on the Italian people with Mario are astonishing. Not only this but they have made Mario himself racist, he only seems to try and save Princess Peach in the games. And Princess Peach has blonde hair and blue eyes, like the rest of the Aryan race, and Mario has dark hair and a black moustache which is mighty similar to Hitler Therefore, Nintendo are the equivalent of the Nazi party.

6. Aladdin has a story, Mario does not.

Aladdin the video game ties it's levels together with carefully constructed scenes, that provoke genuine emotion for the character. You really are ecstatic when you go in the lamp, as you feel that Aladdin is finally getting what he deserves in life. However in Mario the plot is too intricate and really complex, needlessly frutrating the player with 40minute cutscenes when the player just wants to stomp on turtles and hit bricks.

So there you have it, proof that Aladdin is better than Mario in every way. However he's not as good as Cole Mcgrath, no one is as good as him, especially not that Alex Mercer.

Alright guys, I've already broken my promise of posting regularly, and for that i apologize. It's just I've not really had much in the way of interesting news. Well, stuff that hasn't been done to death anyway by other members. However I've gotten so sick of not writing anything that i thought I'd join the masses and give my impressions of the Uncharted 2 Beta and to make it unique, i thought I'd throw in my impressions of Brutal Legend from the demo as well.

I'll be honest, I really liked the original Uncharted, I liked the main character, and the supporting cast, although fairly cliche'd. (the blonde reporter who harbors feelings for the lead, the old friend who apparently betrays them.) It was like playing through a Hollywood flick. However the story was still entertaining, and this was in no part helped by the luscious jungle that you traipsed about in for the best part of the game. What i also liked was the fact that multiplayer wasn't crammed in, it was a single player experience and there was no need for co-op or deathmatches. As they would have become detrimental to the experience.

However in today's economy and the fact that now online multiplayer has become the norm, people seem to cry out when there is a lack of it. Personally it irritates me, the fact people were complaining about a lack of multiplayer for Batman Arkham Asylum seemed incredibly pointless. One guy in the forums even went so far as to say, " No online multiplayer and only 14 hours single player? forget it." Since when has 14 hours been too short? i remember playing games on the playstation 2 that only lasted six hours, offered no multiplayer, but were still worth every penny i spent on them. I realise I'm going off on a slight tangent here, but how would Rocksteady have implemented a multiplayer mode into BATMAN in the first place? The point is a large majority of people want every bang for their buck. They take one look at a game that says no multiplayer, and they don't even consider it.

So I wasn't terribly surprised when there was an announcement of multiplayer in Uncharted 2. However i was disappointed, I feared that it'd either be a multiplayer experience that was just shoehorned in to appease those complaining, or it'd distract the developers from concentrating on the single player. I can't comment on my second fear yet, but my nerves have been settled a bit on the first one.

Naughty Dog have created a good multiplayer experience, it plays to the strengths of the first uncharted game. The gunplay is fun, and although there aren't a massive amount of weapons to play with in the beta, there are still enough to tide you over. The map design itself is very good, usually consisting of two or possibly even three levels. Meaning that you can never be to sure of how safe you are. However i was fairly disappointed about the lack of stuff to climb, there are a few ledges you can hang from to get the drop on your opponent, but even the stuff that looks climbable often isn't. It's probably my fault as i often think the game would imitate assassins creed and let you climb anything, instead of a few preset parts of the map.

Taking Cover in the game is as simple as pushing the Circle Button, L1 lets you pop out and R1 fires, the controls feel tight and responsive, although the camera can be a little jarring at times, as your character is slightly off center, which is fine if you're looking to the right, but if you're looking for anyone on the left, your character may be blocking them off.

The graphics are superb, it again shows off the power of the playstation 3 and the hard work Naughty Dog have put in to making this game look as good as possible. It's an orgasm for the eyes. A lot of people have been drawing comparisons between Uncharted and Gears of War, but one thing Uncharted definately does better is use a wider palette of colours. The levels look organic, your player interacts with the scenery realistically, stumbling as they climb, legs flailing as they jump.

Uncharted uses a similar idea to first person shooter games in that it provides perks which you can choose from to make your character unique to others. That said i have a problem with the fact that there are a limited number of skins you can use during multiplayer, you cannot create your own guy, and it's a little odd seeing 5 Nathan Drake's running around the map at the same time. When you choose drake, you loose all sense of individuality as everyone else seems to want to play as him as well.

The only real problem i had with the demo, were the relatively long match up times and the fact that navigating the menu initially is a little bothersome. I didn't even notice the Shop function initially and dove straight into a game, meaning i missed out on the perks you could buy. The lobby system seemed fairly cumbersome, however this could purely be because it's the beta. I'm also not sure if anyone else is having different experiences with the lobby. So let me know in the comments if it's just me.

Brutal Legend

I was psyched for a while about Brutal legend, while by no means am i a metal head in the slightest, i actually used to get scared listening to death screams. The whole look about the game intrigued me as well as the involvement of Tim Schafer and Jack Black. However Once i actually got my hands on the demo i was more than slightly disappointed.

For a start, Brutal legend is quite ugly, especially the cutscenes, they sppear to be animated brilliantly, and although during the gameplay the graphics hold up well, the cutscenes, especially due to the fact they pre rendered, just seem poor in comparison. Jack Black also doesn't bring a whole lot to the table, his energy seems lost by the fact that His character (Eddie Riggs) just doesn't seem to be as animated as Jack sounds while talking, making it seem a bit strange to watch, it reminded me of a poor ventriloquist.

The level design however is intriguing, The combination of Medieval and Heavy metal makes for some interesting looking enemies, and some awesome buildings. It was probably one of the few things i liked about the game. Jack Black's comments on the world he now finds himself in, and the world itself.

However the main problem i have with Brutal legend is it's controls, it's too simple in the demo, X is to melee and Square is to use your guitar. And that's it, there aren't even that many combo's you can pull off. It get's fairly tiresome quit quickly. Especially as the attacks weren't as over the top as i'd hoped they'd be. You get to try out eddie's car in the game as well, and the controls for that were also floaty, steering was generally unresponsive and you didn't get a real sense of speed, which you should have done considering you had flames coming out of your exhaust pipe...

I'm feeling let down by Brutal legend, i wasn't expecting loads either. I expected some entertaining combat, some humour (which i did get) and some interesting levels as well. By the looks of it i got two of my wishes, however they missed out on the most important part. Making it a fun game, Eddie Runs oddly, his attacks look weak considering he's carrying a massive axe. And the only part i enjoyed was using the guitar to strike enemies with lightning, and even then that grew old fast. I realise there isn't enough time to change loads about the game now, but some work really does need to be done on the controls.

sorry the Brutal legends impression is so short, i just got tired of talking about it, which is sad seeing as no doubt it could have shaped up to be a really good game. If you disagree with any of my opinions feel free to comment on it, however don't troll, or make stupid claims about me being a fan boy or something ridiculous. It annoys everyone and makes you out to be a prat.

Apparently Johnny410 didn't like my review. I'm gutted he's been banned, but I thought I'd create a tribute for one of Gamespot's greatest writers. Be careful you don't cut yourself on his razor sharp wit. Truly this is a great example of L33T fanboys.

Really makes you proud of the miracle that is contraception doesn't it?

Right Analysis time.

Johnny, god rest his soul, is clearly part of the school of "putting everything in capitals makes my point clearer, because capitals represent shouting in books, and if I'm shouting than my fellow debater will hear me easier". Why use capitals sparingly when you can write paragraphs entirely in them? Why use a spell checker when you can make the threats almost impossible to decipher, resulting in your enemy being puzzled as to what exactly you're going to do.

"**** YOU, YOU LOW LIFE PIECE OF DOG ****! YOU HAVE NO LIFE BUT TO CREATE STUPID ASS VIDEO GAME REVIEWS!"

- Mate, you're on a site which is full of them.

"MAKING REVIEWS OF VIDEO GAMES SAYING HOW MUCH YOU ENJOY IT AND WHAT YOU LIKE AND DON'T LIKE YOUR A ******* IDIOT"

- Generally what a review is.

"CHECKING OUT RACHEL SAYING SHE'S HOT AND HAS BIG BREASTS!"

- I wouldn't mind this so much if I knew what Rachel he was on about. As far as I can tell I've never mentioned my desire to sleep with Rachel from friends.

"YOU DUMB KID! PEOPLE LIKE YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BREATH ARE AIR!"

- People like me don't deserve to BREATH OUR air. Also, people like me? What, the British? People who write video games reviews? A little harsh to insult KevinV and the likes like that. Besides, they deserve that oxygen a hell of a lot more than your oxygen starved brain did.

"WITH YOUR **** USERNAME WHAT THE **** IS THAT AND YOUR DUMB STUPID ASS **** PIC"

- That hurt my feelings, But again good grammar and a carefully written point.

"PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME SO TICKED BUT WHAT CAN I DO JUST SEND A STUPID ASS THREATNING MESSAGE AND THAT'S IT!"

- Best sentence ever. He actually shows self awareness that this is not going to affect me in the slightest, he realizes that if anything I'm going to find this hilarious and post it to the rest of game spot, YET HE STILL SENDS IT!

After that it's just death threats, and I'll be honest i didn't find them that entertaining. Kudos to you Johnny for making yourself look like a prat though. I like creative death threats, but if you stab me 50 times in the face, then there isn't really any need to take away my manhood to prevent me having kids, as I'll be dead anyway.

So ladies and gentlemen in conclusion, I'd like to make the statement that this is what happens when you aren't lucky enough to receive an education. But still can play videogames. You become a raging incoherent fanboy.

L33T fanboyism for life.
