The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past was released in the fall of 1991 in Japan, then released in North America in the spring of 1992. This is the best game of the series before Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. This is my most favorite Zelda game in the series because of it's great storyline, gameplay, concept and design.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is an action-adventure game that was released originally in Japan in early 1987, then released in the USA on Christmas 1988. This game bears little resemblance to the original game which was released in 1986 (the year I was born). Most Zelda fans were not too pleased with this game because of the RPG style it had, because that was not like Zelda at all to be all role-playing style. Story. The story begins 2 years after The Legend of Zelda, the kingdom of Hyrule seems to be at peace, but then the King of Hyrule is eliminated by evil. Ganon's minions are seeking revenge on the one responsible for destroying their master, Link. Ganon's minions need Link's blood in order to revive their master. Then a wizard known as Carock puts a sleeping spell on Princess Zelda, and when that happens, Link discovers the mark of the triforce on the back of his right hand and seeks Impa's help as well as she needs him again. Link discovers that to awake the Princess, he must obtain the third Triforce sealed in the Great Palace, but first he must place crystals in six well guarded castles. Originally released in Japan on February 21, 1986, the hit game was then released a year later in North America in the Summer of 1987. This game marked the beginning of the legacy of Hyrule. I was one year old at that time while my older brother, now in his thirties, was playing it. The Legend of Zelda is what gave video games a new turn in gameplay and storyline. So here is my review of this wonderful cult classic in video games. Story: Many years ago, the Kingdom of Hyrule enjoyed a long time of peace and prosperity. One day, evil rose from the land and began to enslave all the good people, led by the evil lord Ganon. A young boy named Link saves Impa from a group of Moblins. Seeing the potential, and the warrior instinct in the young boy, Impa requests his help to save Princess Zelda, who was captured by Ganon. To save her, he must retrieve the eight pieces of the Triforce of Courage, which the princess split, before her captivity. Now the destiny of Hyrule, is in the hands of Link. Originally released in Japan in December 18, 2008, then came overseas on August 25, 2009 on the PlayStation Portable. Dissidia: Final Fantasy is a half fighter RPG game which has wowed and pumped many Final Fantasy fans all over the world.

This is one of the most defining, perfected, and most memorable RPGs ever created by Square-Enix. This has wowed many gamers with it's anime looks made by Dragon Ball, Dragon Warrior, Dr. Slump and Blue Dragon creator, Akira Toriyama. This was one of SNES last and biggest games of all time. The PlayStation included anime sequences, which was even more cooler than I thought it would be. It's sequels are, Radical Dreamers and Chrono Cross. The game was re-released on the Wii Virtual Console on May 16, 2011, and on the PlayStation Network on October 4, 2011. Plot. The story begins in the peaceful kingdom of Guardia, in the year 1000.

Assassin's Creed II was released in November 17, 2009 by Ubisoft. This is the sequel to Assassin's Creed, and the most successful one as well. Assassin's Creed II, had some new changes that have impressed many fans of the first game. This game also has trophy achievements on PS3 and XBOX 360, except that only the PS3 has a platinum trophy named Master Assassin. The game introduced a new Italian assassin at the time of the Renaissance. His name is Ezio Auditore Da Firenze. The developers originally wanted the game to take place during the French Revolution, but then it was scrapped, and taken in the time of the Italian Renaissance. Assassin's Creed II has a short movie prequel, starring the father of Ezio, Giovanni Auditore, in Assassin's Creed: Lineage. Plot.

The next day, he attempts to save them, but things go wrong, and they are executed. Now, Ezio must flee with his family, and meet with his uncle Mario, who is also an assassin. His mission is to exact revenge on those who betrayed his family, and to uncover a horrifying conspiracy as well. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the third installment in the Super Smash Bros saga. This game has gotten worldwide fame after its release. Most players like myself wanted to play this game so badly that we even did play it either at a friend or relative's house, even better playing it at Gamestop stores nearby. So this is my review in which I consider the best fighting game since Street Fighter II. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was released on January 31st, 2008, then two months later on March 9, 2008, the game was released in North America. Story. The story begins in a world where Mario and Kirby begin a duel until suddenly a dark evil approaches the land, this new threat is known as the Subspace Emissary. Mario joins with other characters to fight this new evil as well. New allies come to the game such as Sonic, Lucario, Snake, Ike, Meta Knight, Pit and so on. They go to different parts of the world fighting against the Subspace and the Nintendo Villains. New Super Mario Bros Wii was originally released in Australia on November 12, 2009. Three days later it was released in America. This worldwide famous game brings new and old school gamers back to the glory of the 1980's with amazing mix of 2D and 3D polygonal characters. So my review for this game is the following. Plot. It is a day of joy in the Mushroom Kingdom, the Mario Bros and friends are celebrating the birthday of Princess Peach. But suddenly a giant cake appears and Bowser Jr pops out from the top, and his Koopalings kidnap the Princess taking her to Bowser's airship and to the castle where he awaits the two brave plumbers. However, they also have to rescue Toads as well, and also get new power-ups such as the traditional Fire Flower and Mushroom, also they will have new power-ups such as the Ice Flower, Propeller Suit and the Penguin Suit. Released by Infinity Ward and Activision in November 10, 2009, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to Modern Warfare, and considered to be the most successful game ever made. Also in the VG Awards, the game was awarded the Game of the Year Award. Modern Warfare 2 has taken the Call of Duty series to the top since Call of Duty 2 for the XBOX 360. The game brings a great storyline with many twists and turns that will have gamers jumping off of their seats, and even includes a trophy system in the PS3 and XBOX 360. Plot. The story takes place five years after the events of Modern Warfare. The world has changed, and relations are strained between Russia and the USA. The Ultranationalist Party has seized political control of the country, and Imran Zakhaev is seen as a hero and martyr. In Afghanistan, a U.S. Army Ranger named Joseph Allen, is recruited by General Shepherd to go on a Co-op mission in order to arrest a mass murderer named Vladimir Makarov, an Ultranationalist who is loyal to Zakhaev. But unfortunately things go disturbingly wrong as Allen was compromised. Meanwhile, Task Force 141, led by John Soap MacTavish, the main character of Modern Warfare, continues to battle sympathizers of the Ultranationalist forces. Then the Rangers, battle against the Russians as they invade the United States of America. Truly a story of intrigue, suspense and disturbing revelations. Originally released in November 5, 2007 by Infinity Ward for the PC, PS3 and XBOX 360. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a FPS video game in which players take the role of characters such as Soap MacTavish, Paul Jackson and Captain Price. This game has wowed many FPS fans all over the world with amazing graphics, online gameplay and it's challenging difficulties such as Hardened and Veteran. Veteran difficulty describes that you will not survive, and that was true. I really enjoyed this game and it's storyline. Modern Warfare also has a Wii version known as the Reflex Edition, but I think I'd rather play it on the PS3 and also on the XBOX. Plot. The story takes place sometime in 2011. The world is getting to the edge of chaos and disorder. In the Middle East, Khaled Al-Asad performs a coup d'etat against the president of an unknown Middle Eastern country, Yasir Al-Fulani. The conspirators are Imran Zakhaev and his son Victor. All three declare war against England and the United States of America.

But Zakhaev has plans for the Americans to lure them to the Middle East, knowing that the USA would never allow Russia to become a Communist country once again. The SAS and the USMC discover horrifying truths about the conspiracy of the three main antagonists of the game. |
