GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

I actually reached Level 36 some time ago but I thought it was worth mentioning in my blog because the rank: Radical Ninja is just pretty awesome. I decided bring along the original turtles to my blog since they are of course much better than the modern day turtles. The introduction video to the original Teenage Mutant Ninja cartoon is simply genius. These guys are definitely Radical Ninjas, and I'm proud to be amongst their ranks Actually, the rank got its name as it was the subtitle of the old NES game Kid Niki, an old sidescrolling platformer by Irem.

On the subject of ninjas, I recently played a bit of the demo of Mini Ninjas. And I say 'a bit' because I mean 'a bit'. I couldn't stand it, must have played about 20 seconds of it, reminded me of that old Zelda game back on the N64 but much worse. Dreadful. I'll tell you what a great ninja game was though, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist, you might have played this awesome Beat 'em up on the Genesis. Brilliant game. Another ninja game I played was the demo for Ninja Gaiden 2, that was pretty good. Better than Devil May Cry 4 I would say. Although it's not the kind of game I would normally buy. My genre of gaming tends to be: Role-Playing, First-Person Shooter, Real-Time Stragety, and occasionally something from a different genre.

In other news, I've been trying to chase down some emblems. The most recent one I'm going for is the Speed Runner emblem, which requires me to upload four videos under the Speed Run category. This basically means I have to make videos of me trying to complete a game as fast as possible, so I've decided to make Speed Run videos on the game Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory; which has to be the best free game of all time. Heres the first video I've made:

It's not the greatest video ever, in fact it ain't that great at all. But it's all for the emblem lol, it's nice to have a couple of emblems to show off in your profile, and just to look your achievements here on GameSpot. And if you haven't already played Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, I seriously reccomend that you do. It's an awesome free First-Person Shooter game, which is downloadable here from GameSpot. I must have played this game for about five or six years on and off because of just how great and addictive it is. You'll find it just as addictive as something like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and this game was released in 2003!

If you've played a game in the Wolfenstein series before then you'll know they normally involve crazy Nazi zombies and the like, but you won't find any in this game. As you see, the orignial expansion was cancelled so id released this multi-player component for free. In the game, you'll find you'll be able to play as either Allies or Axis, and both have five different c|asses. This is a nice and simple WWII Online Multi-Player game, it's free and it's fun, what more could you want?

Edit: Oh and one more thing, this is my 100th blog!

As hopefully I'm sure you can already see I've had a change in theme. Instead of my norm, I haven't gone ahead and opened up Adobe Photoshop, created a random design and then stamped my name on it. I've kept it fairly simple and I've just used an image of Grom Hellscream; an Orc character from my second favourite video game of all time: Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos for my banner. And then for my blog header I used the same image but continued it from the banner. Although the whole continue-from-the-banner-in-your-blog-header thing is pretty old and unused nowadays I've still always wanted to do one and now I have

For my avatar I used the ending cinematic from the Orc Campaign (Invasion of Kalimdor) from the hit RTS game Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. My original avatar .gif I was gonna have a much longer clip although when I created the avatar I found the GameSpot wouldn't allow such big files so I had to shorten it and cut it so it shows the awesome Grom giving a roar. I'm pretty happy with the final result but I would just like some of your opinions on my new theme

Also, if you haven't already played Warcraft III, I reccomend that you do. It's an awesome Real-Time Strategy game which includes great gameplay and an immersive story told perfectly with all the in-game cut-scenes, the brilliant characters, and the great voice-acting. It seriously has the best story I've ever experienced in an RTS. Theres no other game like it...other than Starcraft of course But I just prefer Warcraft because I dislike the futuristic sci-fi-ishness of Starcraft.

I've just finished what must be my fourth replay of the game and it's still as awesome as ever. I've replayed The Frozen Throne (the expansion pack) a couple of times too but it could have done with some more time. It mainly lacks with the campaigns, they simply aren't as good as there isn't even a proper Orc campaign, you had to download some of the acts yourself because they just rushed to release the game. They're are also only two cinematics, awesome they may be but I want more!

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos had many more, and they're simply great. The graphics are amazing and not just for an RTS game released in 2002, but even now they are much better than most cinematics/FMVs you'll see in other games. They truly are photo-realistic, you'll really find it hard to believe that it's a game almost eight years old.

I would love to see a sequel made, and my hopes are higher since Blizzard are releasing Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. But they're raking it in with World of Warcaft, so the chances they will discontinue the franchise are dismal. And so there is no real need for them to continue it through the RTS series since they've chosen to go on ahead with the story in this MMORG

But hey, I don't want to make this blog into some kind of rant. Please give me some feedback on my new theme and give Warcraft III a go if you haven't already. It's a must-buy for all RTS lovers!

I made a big blog about 5 paragraphs long each 5 lines long and then I clicked off it and I couldn't get it back even when pressing back

Some people just don't have opinions. Like uas-2001.
uas-2001 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could uas-2001 possibly have for not rating a single film?
