IGN recently published the top 25 xbox 360 games, and after reading it....I have to differ with their opinion in some games big time, others not that much but at some point they totally lost objectivity and forgot about some great games that were big on the 360s beginning. Yeah I know it's not the same to rate 9 Perfect Dark Zero 4 years ago than rate 9 Modern Warfare 2 today, so I took the time to put in my own thought on IGN's top 25

25.Dead Space: I agree with their opinion Dead space is a gme you have to consider owning specially if you like survivial horror, it has an awesome presentation and the gam mechanics feel fresh enough, the bad thing about Dead space? it's a sci fi horror movie cliche, and relies too much on "jumpy" moments

24.Lost Odyssey: this game has a great personality, I'm not an JRPG fan but Lost Odyssey achieved too hook me for almost 3 complete discs, the story is good, but gets impoved by the thousand years of dreams text compilations, I wouldn't select it as a personal favorite but it is a game you have to try yourself to judge it

23.Dead Rising: I totally hated this game, the gameplay felt too stiff for my taste and any game that loves to pressure you with time has to be burned, sure the premise is a great idea on zombie games but, they take the gimmick too far, for me? not even top 50

22.Shadow Complex: ok mixed feelings right here, altough I liked a lot Shadow Complex, It felt way too short for my taste and it lacked personality, and for an arcade game is impressive but, for a retail it would have left a lot to be desired

21.NHL 10: haven't played any NHL games so I can't have an opinion on the matter altough having sports games in the list feels a little out of place

20.Modern Warfare 2: I wouldhave rated it way higher on the list, because MW 2 is a great package that gives you gameplay of all sorts, blend with impressive graphics and stellar gameplay. Maybe for CoD enthusiasts it was not that impressive for the ammount of MW1 they played, but for me is still a great experience.

19.Virtua Fighter 5: VF5 is a huge fighting experience, from mastering controls to customize your fighter VF 5 is awesome in all fronts, even graphic wise, I agree with Ign, but still I think thee are better games out there.

18.Left 4 Dead: A totally co-op zombie apocalypse is always a huge start, it has been the most impressive zombie game I've played since Resident Evil 2, it is simple enough to encourage you to grab the control, and still it is filled with techinisism, higher or lower in the list? I don't know hwere I would put it but it would be deffinitevely on the list.

17.FIFA 10: there is no way you'll find a more real experience of soccer in a console, still I don't think the FIFA series is as big as making the cut, sports games will keep coming with improvements each tme, so thi is not the definitive soccer experience, but I have to agree is the best sports game I've seen in production values.

16.Forza Motorsport 3: I haven't played Forza 3, but by the improvements they've made form part one I can't do anything but agree that it most be one hell of a racing game.

15. Rock Band 2: I have played Rock Band a couple oftimes with friends, and it makes it a great experience, after all it is intended to be played with friends right? the game is a great "just to have fun" game and all the DLC makes it even more worth the money you pay

14.Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved: really? I don't see this game being best than any of the last 11 games, it might have it's fair share of mindless fun, but it can't be as deep or as complete as say..Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead or Forza Motorsport 3, really IGN it can't be that big and even the games are included on th Project Gotham Racing series.

13.Borderlands: I haven't played Borderlands either if any of you have played it do you think it deserves this spot on the list?

12.Halo Wars: HW failed to impress me I'm a casual RTS player, and I like Halo universe a lot so what's there not to like about htis game? plain and simple...the max ammount of units you can have, it totally broke the game for me as I love watching hundreds of troops marching into battle.

11.Halo 3 ODST: mixed feelings again, ODST's cmpaign altough short is exciting, and firefight keeps things interestin for a while, but is not enough package for a retail game at $60, if I were to get into an island alone I wouldn't take ODST with me, it wont last me more than a few days.

10. Gears of War: if part 2 is bigger and better why not put it here? GoW campaign kept things interesting enough, but it was no that memorable it was like a macho smasher adventure, and multiplayer wise....the names Gears of Lag or Glitch of War comes to my mind.

9.Braid: again? come on, do you find Braid a game you enjoy more than any of the above retail games? wouldn't this spot serve a huge game.

8.Bioshock: a masterpiece and a classic, Bioshock was meant for greatness and most gamers agree, although I woul have it a bit higher on the list

7.The Orange Box: the best gme pakage out there, you have whatever yout fancy is in shooting games, but I have to say, almost half the pckage are old games, and the other 2 are voth too short, and well TF 2 community is near extinction

6.Halo 3: great game, the xbox 360 biggest franchise made a great arrivl this gen, the campaign has a couple great moments, but the main focus is the Multiplayer with seemless never ending options

5.GTA IV: if IGN and most sites rated it a 10 why it is not at the top of the list, GTA IV has great production values, but I have to say it....it lacks fun, the game is way too slow and tries to simulate on the most annoying things

4. The Elders Scroll IV Oblivion: remember the island example with ODST? this is the exact opposite, this game would last me years, it has way too many things to do it is a fully enjoyable game, with never ending stuff.

3.Fallout 3: yeah it is smaller than Oblivion, but then again it has way more personality so the characters and te capital wasteland are easier to remember, and it's an spectacular game

2.Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare: well I wasn't too fond of this game but as I told to my buddies I recon is a great game full o fgreat things, I think it deserves this spot or maybe number one except for...

1.Mass Effect: you have played it...enough said

well this is it, a good list fr the most part exept I guess they are missing some good games, where's Rainbow Six Vegas, or Assassin's Creed, Fable 2 anyone? Battlefield Bad Company, Batman Arkham Asylum, Gears of War 2, Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter, Street Fighter IV, Castle crashers, Call of Duty 2, Dragon Age Origins ,don't you think many of these deserve to be there way more than some of the list?

Hey! it's been a long time again, I promised some stuff to be delivered through my super awesome blog but I wasn't able to deliver, why? you ask well. it's not that I've been that busy (I have find enough time to play my games, and continue my crusade on gamespot) but I have a short attention span and I forgot I promised a long ass entry, thing is I change my laptop (MacBook Air FTW) and I lost almost all my old and useless documents, so now instead of a long ass entry on FPS last millenium I'm delivering a half ass entry on FPS last millenium, that's the way it is because Sandman says so!

Recently I've been playing a couple new and old games, I finally managed to finish Banjo-Kazooie; which I played since 1998 but didn't finished hehe, I finished Shadow Complex also, which is an ultra awesome game for XBLA but I still have some achievements to go on that one, so maybe I'll hunt them down around q3 2010, I bought a ticket to the hype train to modernwarfaretwoville and got the game on release, I don't know why, but I like that game a lot like in top 10 this generation, I'm enjoying the multiplayer a lot (been playing with some gamespot's buddies) ad wel the campaign although short was filled with lots of great moments, also I've just bough Assassin's Creed II, part one is still one of my favorite games this gen, I don't know why but I couldn't find the boring part anywhere, still I don't have yet an objective comment on the game because I'm just three hours into it and the game is still throwing new game mechanics to the mix, I just have to sya I've commited my first major assassination and it felt rewarding as hell, on the down side I feel like they did less detail into characters faces but I wouldn't bet on it.

FPS in 1999

I remember back in 2007 I wasn't to used to videogames, I played one or two based on a movie or a cartoon I like or a Mario game, on the shooter side of things, the only game I've played back then was Doom on the SNES , I didn't knew anything about game genres (imagine that, now I blog bout videogames) there were Doomlike games and Mariolike games, so a christmas dad came home with two autenthic masterpieces, Star Fox 64 and a defining game in my gaming career Goldeneye 007 which to be honest I hold dearly even to this days, I remember I sucked terrible in that game but I played it on agent to the end, I dont know how I could feel comfortable with that game it was a pain in the a$$ to aim, and you couldn't aim and move (pure Resident Evil 4 win) it had a big nice auto-aim but in competitive multiplayer it made you feel ...ummm the anthonym to rewarded.

the famous bathroom scene from Goldeneye

I played Goldeneye 007 for almost a year, I never beated in any other difficulty but I surely loved to kill Natalya in all the protect Natalya missions, until a year later, my Mom bought me Turok 2 the seeds of evil (what kind of parents I have? I was 11 and 12 when they gave two rated M games) anyway, Turok 2 was way too different to Goldeneye, you moved with 4 directional buttons (if you had an n64 you probably rememeber the yellow "C" buttons) and aim with the stick the configuration felt weird at first, but a couple weeks with Turok 2 and I could kill and cover with ease, I remember I loved the cheats on that game, having all the weapons and unlimited ammo was the way to go at least for me (Most would call it killing the fun of the game, to me it was the fun on the game) I played a lot of Turok, the bad thing Is I couldn't finish it, the maps where huge labyrinths you could be lost in level 2 "the river of souls" for 4 hours and never find an exit, and to be honest I didn't have a memory card back then, so I couldn't save my progress.

the cerebral bore in action

Turok 2 was great, so I felt obliged to get Turok 3 shadows of oblivion which was way worse than it's predecesors, but had a really enjoyable multiplayer (any multiplayer back then with bots was automatic win) I couldn't play lots of multiplayer, because my brother is a girl and he hates losing to me in anything so I had to play alone everything (except FIFA,and in the holidays with my cousins I got to play everything else).

Speaking of Bots the last true marvelous game that I played to death and enjoy even more was Perfect Dark, I have to confess I never finished the campaign (they lost me with the appearane of "Elvis") but I played tons of multiplayer matches against the game's bots, you could configure every bot from name to personality to appearance, and you could play against 12 of them which was madness back then, I remember every map of that game (although it was the first game were I learned all multiplayer maps).this was some great stuff back then and that's the highlits for my FPS console gaming

On the pc side, there was this huge game I played non stop also, Unreal Tournament, where you could design your bots and play with lots of mutators so every match was unique and it had this amazing mode called domination where one team had an objective and the other had to stop it, it was truly amazing, and I got really good at aiming with a mouse, the weapons had soem serious punch and my bots had charisma, every new unreal game I pray that they retake some of those concepts.

rigt now I'm working in a huge entry for my blog, I've been thinking and writing heavy on it so make sure to give it a read specially if you like shooters

So next week in A Gaming Blog, First Person Shooting in 1999

P.S. My grammar owns!!

P.S. yeah it's pointless to blog about a blog entry
