Picked this game up after reading the review on Gamespot which gave it a good score of 8.....So i bought it thinking what could go wrong???? ![]()
And boy i was so happy i picked this title up because it's a great action packed game with goofy humour and story.....
GAMEPLAY - This game is an all out beat em up. You need to beat up rowdy's to progress through the next area which might satisfy people who like old school beat em up games like Double Dragon otherwise you might be bored just button mashing.
8/10
SOUND - The music consists of a western electro composition which sounds good while playing.
8/10
GRAPHICS - Great graphics for a 2005 game on a PS 2.Even though there are occasionally some clipping issues but other than that every thing looks great and so colourful with great looking cutscenes.
8/10
STORY - Well the story is good but it aint that great or tight that might suck you in. This game is just a fun,mindless beat em up.
7/10
FINAL VERDICT - Go get this game if you like old school beat em up games i surely loved it.
8/10
Mini Ninjas is one of the sleeper hits of 2009. The game is an excellent rendition of the samurai era of Japan in the lovable form of small Ninjas.
GAMEPLAY - The gameplay is technially a hack and slash with a few magic powers but it is perfectly blended so as it doesnt become too monotonous and also it comes from the house of Eidos (Tomb Raider) so you will get to shimmy over ledges a bit.
7/10
SOUND - The music is composed of old japanese compositions which include flute's and drums and is easy to the ears and plus also helps building up the tension to a certain extent.
7.5/10
GRAPHICS - Nice graphics which can run on low end computers with a consistent frame rate.
8/10
STORY - The story is good which builds around a clan of Mini Ninjas who are sent to investigate mysterious happenings in the jungle when suddenly they start dissappearing one by one.
7/10
FINAL VERDICT - Good game if you want to get away from all the blood and gore kind of games for a while. You will love looking at the plush views in the game that represent the old samurai era as portrayed in movies like "The Last Samurai" and "The Forbidden Kingdom" and this game is very easy so it's kid friendly too.
7.5/10
These are the top TV shows that i found really entertaining and would recommend them to other people (Most of them are from the 80's and 90's)...........These are compiled based on the entertainment value, quality content, star presence.......
1.Nitro circus (2009) - Travis pastrana is the god among daredevil stunt artists....You gotta see the stunts he pulls off to beleive them......Jumping of the grand canyon on a dirt bike THRICE with a parachute.....Damn.....
2.Jackass (2000-2002) - Needs no introduction as Johnny Knoxville and his crazy ass friends do some crazy ass stuff that would leave you shocked. TV series later made into a very succesful movie in 2002 with a successful sequel in 2006 as well.
3.Hung (2009) - After a string of flop films Thomas Jane tries his luck in a TV show about a coach who becomes a male prostitute in order to survive in the times of recession with troubled teenage kids. Hilarious and funny show. Cant wait for season 2.
4.Metalocalypse (2006) - Dethklok is the biggest, baddest, and most famous heavy metal band in the world. The quintet, consisting of Americans Nathan Explosion (vocals), William Murderface (bass), and Pickles the Drummer, along with Scandinavian guitarists Toki Wartooth and Skwisgaar Skwigelf, have to deal with their fame and other situations in their lives, all the while being monitored by a government organization out to destroy them. An amazing animated show for adults by adults on the adult swim network.
5.Aqua Teen Hunger Force (2000) - The adventures of a Meatball, a flying shake and french fries who together try to solve cases with hilarious results while getting in trouble with their next door neighbour Carl. Another fine animated show from The adult swim team. Spun off into a succesful movie in 2007.
6.Prison break (2005-2009) - Amazingly intense show involving an ex con who is prisoned for a crime he did not commit while his brother hatches a plan to break him out of the prison. Must watch for thrill seekers.
7.Sons of Anarchy (2008 ) - A great show with bikes, beer, babes and rock n roll. A biker gang known as sons of anarchy tries to survive in a city with other gangs and the police involved. Ron Perlman is plain awesome.
8.Miami vice (1985-1990) - First thing you remember about Miami vice is surely the amazing opening them by Jan Hammer, simply sensational. The show revolves around two undercover detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs and how they try to solve crimes. Had some guest appearences by then unknown John Leguizamo and Bruce willis and others.Spun off into a succesful movie in 2006 by the Michael Mann the creator of the original show.
9.Supernatural (2005) - Seriously havent seen a horror show this good with great production value and special effects and a good story.
10.Robot chicken (2005) - Old-school stop-motion animation and fast-paced satire are the hallmarks of this eclectic show created by Seth Green and Matt Senreich. Action figures find new life as players in frenetic sketch-comedy vignettes that skewer TV, movies, music, and celebrities. It's television especially formulated for the Attention Deficit Disorder generation.
11.The Brak Show (2000-2004) - The Brak Show is a story of a neighborhood. It's the story of a family. It's the story of what happens when adults have children and those children go to school. And Brak is in it. He lives in a house. A house on a quiet street not unlike yours or mine. A house in a neighborhood. That's The Brak Show." So goes Cartoon network's description of the new sitcom starring Brak, the absent-minded space pirate from the Space Ghost cartoons. He goes through the all the typical sitcom situations with his friend Zorak.
12.Street Hawk (1985) - Loved this show to death and sadly it died with only one season under its belt. An ex motorcycle cop Jesse Mach becomes a vigilante with Norman tuttle and a high speed motorcycle to fight terror and crime in California. Another great opening theme by Tangerine Dream.
13.A-Team (1983-1987 ) - Four Vietnam vets, framed for a crime they didn't commit, help the innocent while on the run from the military. MR.T is in it yo fool. Being remade as a movie with Bradley Cooper releasing around 2010 or 2011.
14.Desperate Housewives (2004) - Ok ok you might wanna call this show a girly show but beleive me once you watch it you are gonna get hooked to it, it has an amazing plot with thrills and entertainment packed into it. Story about 4 housewives who have to deal with their day to day problems ranging from children to their husbands or their jobs and how they tackle them.
15.2 Guys A Girl And A Pizza Place (1998-2001) - Circa 1998 : Ryan Reynolds (who ????) Yup in 1998 you might have not realized that one day this lanky looking fella from TV is gonna be a superstar. Three twenty-somethings share a Boston apartment and hang around (and work) at a pizza place. A hilarious show with Ryan Reynolds stealing the show everytime with his prefect comic timing.
16.Manimal (1983) - No one probably remembers this show as it ended after airing just 8 episodes.A man who can change himself into any animal fights crime.
17.Crystal Maze (1990-1995) - One of the 1st reality shows starring Richard O Brien as the gamemaster where contestants had to complete certain tasks before time expires or other wise they would be locked in the maze. Amazing show.
18.Fresh Prince of Bel Air (1990-1996) - Big Will's amazingly amazing comedy show about how a boy from the streets of Philadelphia comes to live with his uncle Phil in the posh area of Bel Air. One of the most hilarious show's ever made. And the introduction of the biggest African American superstar WILL SMITH. From winning grammy's in music to being nominated for 2 oscars with more than 10 hits with $100 million collection. He surely has come a long way, Baby.
19.Small Wonder (1985-1989) - An amazing show i actually grew up watching and have fond meomries of it. Father Ted Lawson creates robot, Vickie. The family, Ted, Joan, and Jamie, keep the information that Vickie is a robot secret, and pretend that she is their daughter. Harriet, their nosy and annoying neighbor, has a crush on Jamie and plans to marry him.
20.Birds of Prey (2002) - This show was actually spun off from the movie Batman Returns. The story involves Batmans daughter and the Oracle who are the new protectors of gotham city since Batman vanished into oblivion. Good show and had potential but was cancelled by warner bro's after one season.
21.How I Met Your Mother (2005) - Egged on by his best friend's upcoming nuptials, Ted believes he finds the woman of his dreams in Robin -- though destiny might have something different in mind. And his friends trying to help him find someone to settle down with while something or the other happens with hilarious results. Neil Patrick Harris rocks as Barney Stinson.
22.Doogie Howser MD (1989-1993) - A great show that caught the attention of America by storm. A teenaged genius deals with the usual problems of growing up: having a girlfriend, going to parties, hanging out with his best friend, all this on top of being a licensed physician in a difficult residency program starring Neil Patrick Harris.
23.Wierd science (1994-1997 ) - Starts off right from where the movie ended (A great movie by the late John Hughes).Gary Wallace and Wyatt Donnelly create their dream woman, Lisa, on their computer. Lisa had extraordinary powers and could grant the boys their wishes for short periods of time.
24.Batman The TV Series (1966-1968 ) - This series shows how batman and robin fight crime and save Gotham city in a more comic book and humorous way. Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin were simply amazing.
25.Friends (1994-2004) - Saved the best for the last. As the one of the most popular shows i dont think it needs any introduction which stars Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, David Scwimmer and Matt LeBlanc.
26.Mortal Kombat : Conquest (1999) - This show is strictly for the fan's of the Mortal Kombat games and for the people who like the 1st movie and loathed the 2nd movie. Had an extremely good production values but was cancelled due to high budget requirements. Lasted only one season and starred Kristanna Loken who went on to become the T-X in Terminator 3.
I know there are many more shows that i havent included but these are the shows that i have seen and would love to recommend to other people. I would love to read your thoughts and views on this.
Till then Take care........
