  Top 10 favorite video game reviews:

  Over so much time Gamespot has done many video reviews, most of them get to the point, but sometimes, while they get to the point, they also provide a bevy of laughs along the way so, let's laugh with the few successors and laugh at the failures that figured they could rip us off!

  #10 - Sniper: Path of Vengeance

  Craig Beers Public service announcement is all that is needed by anyone to understand, in fact he doesn't even load up any gameplay footage but the message is clear and hysterical.

  #9 - Rebel Trucker: Cajun Blood Money

  Alex Navarro's translation of trucker language and presentation for this game are laugh-out-loud funny though this game is laughable.

  #8 - Tom Clancy's The Sum of All Fears

  The intro does a big, loud laugh, what horrid grammar and how well Jeff's reactions are as Ryan explains the games numerous major malfunctions.

  #7 - 24: The Game

  There has never been better urgency resulting in comedy as Alex goes to the point of becoming hostile in trying to review another half okay show to game.

  #6 - Gods and Generals

  Andrew Park shows a game that already is funny to look at even funnier by referring to soldiers behaving as clones and the clones extremely questionable tactics.

  #5 - WarioWare Inc.: Mega MicroGame$

  In trying to mimic the games hyperactive, maddeningly funny, addictive nature; a slew of Gamespot Editors explain the game while as if seemingly almost going crazy by the games nature.

  #4 - Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing

  The lowest ranked game of all time was also a top contender as one of the most memorable, absolutely disastrous games ever built. It is considered by some to be a masterpiece of failure and, to quote the game, "You're Winner!"

  #3 - Terminator 3: War of the Machines

  The Let's GameSpot trivia robot lays down the law and makes you laugh; simple, pure humor.

  #2 - Gravity Games Bike: Street Vert Dirt

  Jeff proves that you will have more fun with anything else than this game and provides the only way to have any fun with it, by watching his review.

  #1 - Navy SEALs: Weapons of Mass Destruction

  Woo-Hoo! Look at those dummies and the very poofy blood splatter, #1 in my book.

  Honorable Mentions

  Arthur's Quest: Battle for the Kingdom

  Though simply not enough to make a top video review, some may like it allot.

  Superman 64 [user video review]

  Very funny video review polished with good fan made humor; it only didn't make my top favorite video reviews because it was not made by Gamespot.

  Robocop [video feature]

  A must see for all, terrifically funny and likely ranks as the best video I've ever seen on Gamespot.

  Ninja Bread Man [IGN video review]

  Likely IGNs funniest video review; poor Bozon, he said all he really could say but what a joy it is to watch.

  Got more goodies out

  Since I was on holidays last week in a remote location of northern ontario with internet connection that lasted one day and then quit, I was entirely out of access from gamespot and I was angry. Before my holidays I had exams and now I have been shooting as many zombies in Resident Evil 4 as possible. I actually only picked up Resident Evil 4 a week ago, I was so stupid at thinking that I wouldn't like it because I hadn't played the others, I love it! And I want to get it done before Mercenaries 2 hits, I'm gonna be out of internet for the next few days too while I go to my grandparents but I got some more stuff out for you:

  Knytt

  Knytt managed to be one of the most unique experiences I could have found, it was alright at taking care of the technicals, but it needed less backtracking so, I gave it an 8.5 (Click title to view review).

  Solitaire

  While solitaire is great a card game, it seemed like somebody just wanted to make this on the computer and not consider sprucing it up at all, it makes the game very boring after a few runs but the game itself drives you back again and again for more rounds (Click title to view review).

  Super Mario Bros. Deluxe

  If I'm correct, longest review yet. It's extensive because the game is important, really important in the videogame industry and I have given it the best sendoff I can (Click title to view review).

  My Top 10 Toughest Boss Battles Of All Time

  Ladies & Gentlemen, it brings me great pleasure to bring to you something that every single gamer has experienced boss battles. They are in lots of games, not all but most of them are quite difficult, which is why, I have decided to compile my...

  TOP 10 TOUGHEST BOSS BATTLES OF ALL TIME!

  I also included videos links for each battle, now I am not as good as the most of these players (that's right I'm not the one playing these videos, I did them before) but they sure help get my description for each across, enjoy:

  ----------------10 - Cyber Errol----------------

  Defeating Errol (from Jak 3) in his menacing machine was enough, you have the task of shooting his ground supports but he moves very quickly, fires weapons and could crush you to bits, once you beat him, your thumbs had gotten their workout.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvwmsAcCJf8&feature=PlayList&p=996DBEECA2AF6234&index=60

  ------------------9 - Gregorov------------------

  While the player seen here makes the battle very easy, Gregorov couldn't be killed, though he could shoot you in the head, he also patrols very dangerously and will track you if you fire off. If you were hiding at a corner and tried electrocute him with your taser, he'd shoot you right in the head!

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-VYDSzzxkM

  -------------------8 - Rathalos-------------------

  The Rathalos is difficult because of mainly its ease to trip you over and break an attack, while very powerful; the camera, time it takes to interchange between moves and environmental makes the battle very difficult, especially for those offline.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u38tMZVed4o

  ---------------------7 - Zeus---------------------

  Like some other bosses, if you made a mistake you sometimes really got allot of damage, making a mistake against Zeus granted almost certain death, especially with the button specific sequences and you had to use this second rate sword at some points when you could have used your more effective Blades of Athena.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f85bMvhH5mo

  -------------6 - The Sisters of Fate-------------

  This battle demanded quick reaction timing; you had to be fast in order to last. It is also a very long battle that would keep on killing you and I didn't really want to kill the sisters, they are actually quite beautiful.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mp80Iw3-HY&NR=1

  ------------------5 - Darktooth------------------

  The most difficult opponent of all Twisted Metal, Darktooth is scary! He is very strong and loves ramming / stomping and just when you think it's over... There's one last big surprise, so remember to pause the game as there is a password so that you can go directly at him and avoid the other opponents.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyoqZAXh3vY

  -----------------4 - Anubis Rex-----------------

  For the second boss of six, Pacmans Anubis Rex ranked second hardest in the whole game. The stage is a little walking trail at first but then it becomes a very dangerous multilevel platforming challenge. For other games this guy would have been a real BADASS final boss (Anubis Rex doesn't come until the end of this movie).

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFfwH2PvCLo&feature=related

  ---------------3 - The Minotaur---------------

  This guy came from GOD MODE, you would take allot of damage from him, he demands gnarly grind perfection in order to win so unless your amazingly fast with your fingers, don't try to pull off anything fancy because I'm a cautious gamer and he took 40 tries to finally kill.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_xbbD7RgCg

  ---------------2 - King Galaxian---------------

  The third or middle game boss of Pacman restricted you from passing, unless you destroyed him. Now I can understand how a middle game boss should be difficult, but this guy is well beyond his placing, he shouldn't be a middle boss, he shouldn't even be a final boss. This 50+ tries is one teeth grinding, temper tantrum causing, controller breaking prick he should not exist! And the damn camera still feels very stupidly placed as you've gotta dodge, shoot, and keep your eyeballs glued to what's happening as if you got to level 100 on Space Invaders! (King Galaxian doesn't come until the end of this movie).

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-J43uIsM8g

  -----------------1 - The Clones-----------------

  Great GOD MODE Almighty! This boss battle is actually the second part of a three portion final boss battle. But this second part is the toughest (according to gamers) and it itself is well beyond what was before us. You must face off against a massive number of your clones, while also keeping your family from dying. The shear amount of clones you face off guarantee that you will be outnumbered all the way through it and you are gonna die allot, you'll likely not even want to play it after a while as you will lose confidence and it is a rage enduing Boss Battle as I got so damn close and I can't get past them!!!

  SPECIAL TRIBUTE:

  ------SUPER MARIO BROS. Deluxe------

  Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is the game I have put the most effort into. I have spent at least 100 maybe 500 hours trying to get everything. Only a couple of days ago did I get every metal which also reminds me of the Super Mario Bros. For Super Players which is, between Pacman 20th Anniversary Edition the hardest game I have ever beaten. Thanks for reading.
