Cyndaquil Likes Jigglypuff

One day there was a Cyndaquil who had a crush on a Jigglypuff.
Cyndaquil had never seen the Jigglypuff's face, so one day when he was at the park he saw her and he went up to her.
"Hi!" the Cyndaquil said.
Jigglypuff turned around and it wasn't Jigglypuff, it was a Machop.
"Like my costume?" the Machop said.
Cyndaquil fainted.

THE END

Top 5 Best and Worst Games I Have Reviewed

In my last post I told you guys I was going to make a very special post the next day, but I sort of forgot to do it, but here it is! Top 5 Best and Worst Games I Have Reviewed.

Scores also won't have an effect on these games.
THE BEST:

5-Super Mario Galaxy 2:
Even though I thought this game wasn't my favorite game of all time, I still love it for it's amazing atmosphere and gameplay.

4-Super Mario 3D Land:
The game is great, even though I didn't play in 3D, I still had tons of fun playing it. The fact that it had eight special worlds made me love it even more.

3-Super Mario Bros. 3:
In my "Top 5 Funnest Games I Have Ever Played" list, I put this at number one, but now I do feel it's too outdated to still be my favorite though, but is still a great game.

2-Super Mario Galaxy:
The game is innovative, a classic and beautiful, if you haven't bought this game, you need to go to your nearest store and buy the game NOW.

1-Minecraft:
This game is literally amazing, what kind of game lets you build anything, go everywhere and basically do everything? This game still holds off as one of my favorite games of all time.

THE WORST:

5-Face Raiders:
The game is a good game, but I wish there were more levels because it really is a good game, just very shallow though.

4-Donkey Kong:
The game wasn't bad, it's just outdated, but I believe it is good for about 200 Wii Points, but not for 500.

3-AR Games:
The idea sounds good, but it turns out to be bad when you actually play it, none of the games feel like games, they feel like a tech demo that is just Nintendo's way of saying "We can make anything happen with the 3DS!" (which is not true).

2-Mario is Missing:
Yes, he is missing something, fun. Seriously, if somebody could make a great edutainment game, it would be Nintendo, I know this game is old, but still, I feel like it could be a little more...fun?

1-Cooking Mama: World Kitchen:
This game is awful, it's not fun, the controls don't work, and it's...$21 DOLLARS? This game isn't even worth ten dollars! It's worth a dime a dozen! So yeah, if you have this game, playing frisbee with it is probably even funner than actually playing the game itself.

So there you have it!

Thanks and goodbye!

Good Games Gone Bad: Just Dance 3

I like the Just Dance series, Just Dance 3 was the best though, but is there anything bad or weird about it? Well...there are four things.

1-Weird Dancers:
Okay, some dancers are normal, but when I look at the"Party Rock Anthem" dancer, I just think the developers didn't know what would go good with the song so they just improvised.

2-Bad DLC:
Face it, the downloadable content here sucks, we don't want to play old Just Dance 1 songs or Just Dance 2 songs, we want to play exclusive Just Dance 3 content. (Mario was cool though)

3-Unlockable Content Should be New Songs, Not Mashups:
Yeah, I never got really into the whole mashup idea, how about more new songs, okay Ubisoft?

4-No Just Dance:
Lady Gaga's song still isn't on here, it's probably too expensive, but why can't they do a cover version of it, they did it with a good amount of songs on the game, so why can't they do it here?

That's it for now!
Bye! (tomorrow is a very special post, literally)

Minecraft Collecter's Challenge

I have a Minecraft survival challenge, get every obtainable block in the game. Yes, every obtainable block. This can be played on any difficulty. You can obtain unobtainable ores with the silk touch enchantment, but you can play it without a silk touch, if you want to, get pickaxe and enchant it if you want to do it the hard way.

This has probably been done before...
So I have a little twist, and that is having only one tool at a time when you're out, see you'll build a base, and when you leave that base, you may only have one tool, so choose wisely and you can only go out four times a full day and night period.

Now here are some rules
*Operating blocks (workbench, furnace, piston, note block, etc) do not have to be crafted unless wanted to, End Stone doesn't have to be collected either.
*Blocks must be placed after collecting in a special area.
*You can use an inventory editor for these items:
Clock
Compass
Map
*No mods that can help you (TooManyItems, Single Player Commands, etc)
*Don't have to collect every item in the game, just placeable blocks.

Thanks for reading!

Post Dates

Good Games Turned Bad will be on tomorrow, with the review coming January 20th.

So! That's it for today.

Bye!

Goodbye Brawl!

My copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl has died, the Wii sadly cannot read the disc. It works for about five minutes then it crashes.

I loved Brawl, I reviewed it and gave it a 98. Now it has gone to a better place (aka eBay, just kidding).

My favorite character was Ness.

Okay! See you soon!

Minercaft (Creative) Review

The reason I'm doing a review of creative mode is because many reviewers tend to review survival mode. So I think it would be fun to do a review of creative Minecraft.

So with that said!

Presentation:
When you first start the game in survival you have nothing, and if you are a newbie to Minecraft, you won't have a single clue on what you're supposed to be doing. No signs, no people, no anything, just you and some livestock and I like that because if you were stranded on a deserted island, would you have signs that tell you what to do? NO. In creative mode things are a lot easier though, you are given UNLIMITED blocks and you are invincible, but I don't play creative mode for it being easier, it's because I love building. The 8-bit art style is also marvelous and so are the worlds. I give this a 90.

Sound:
Creative mode has no music, just annoying sound effects which I usually turn off. But in survival there are beautiful music tracks made by an artist named C418. So in conclusion I give this a score of 92.

Graphics:
The game has beautiful graphics. The 8-bit art style is amazing. They also are very smooth. I give this a 100.

Gameplay:
In survival mode your main goal is to eat pie (no, it's to survive, duh) In creative mode your main goal is to create buildings, pixel art, etc. But depending what mode you play, you'll get a amazing experience no matter what. The game controls perfectly. The mobs are fun to kill (get em' creepers!) and there are also a lot of mechanics like crafting, mining, smelting, potion making, enchanting, and many more. I give this a 100.

Lasting Appeal:
The game has no end.
1000.

You can't have a score over 100.

OKAY! Fine! I give this a 100!

Get more in depth!

Okay! There is a realm called The End which is "the proper ending" to the game but it really isn't.
So I give this a 100.

Overall:
I'd like to give my big thanks to the Mojang team for designing this awesome game. There is not much wrong with the game, so in words it gets a...


96!

Thank you so much and its time for the first ever...
