This is my friend Arie’s personal blog. He has a set of awesome poems, “quick and cheap” post, and also has life-related content that some may find interesting. Arie is one hell of a writer. I suggest you check out his site using the following link:
A new adventure arises for the once great Sonic the hedgehog with a new , yet familiar style of gaming that we actually loved at some point in time. Unfortunately, Sega has decided to split the action with a new playable character, Sonic the Werehog.
Hey you guys, I just want you guys to know that I will be changing my grading scale when I review games. So if a games score seems lower compared to other games I have previously reviewed, dont fret. Its just a new grading scale.
These are parts I had issues with….alot. Anyways, I dont want you to go through the fustration! So here are some helpful hints and tips:
In the past few Sonic games on the DS, Sega has really put an edge to what Sonic should be; fast paced and fun. Since Sega released Sonic Rush on the DS, Sonic has really gone back to his roots with intense speed and Sonic’s classical side-scrolling gameplay with a much deeper storyline than any other Sonic Game on the consoles. Sonic Rush has really helped shine the light on the Blue Blur himself.
Sega than later decided to rid Sonic of the side-scrolling and create a new kind of game with the help of the critically acclaimed Bioware, whom has been well-known for creating some of the best RPGs in the video game industry.

Yes it is true, in a recent interview with Sony President, Shuhei Yoshida on Gi.biz, he stated he world like Microsoft’s Xbox to succeed in Japan to bring a bigger audience to HD Gaming. Maybe this will end the fanboy war against Sony and Microsoft and go about attacking the Wii
“Sony’s president of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, has said that he wants Microsoft’s Xbox 360 to succeed in Japan in order to help push the concepts of high-definition gaming to local consumers.
With Nintendo’s Wii the most popular console in the Japanese market, Yoshida would like both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to sell well in order to convince punters of a more sophisticated take on next-generation gaming.”

Where does Nintendo go once the novelty of the Wii and DS wears off?
Sometimes it just isn’t good to jump your ideas too far because if you go way ahead of yourself, you may just not be able to go further. I made the mistake of doing this in the past, whether it was a research report, school project, or anything else that you can use the word “idea” for. Maybe it is best to take bigger steps, but in just smaller proportions, rather than skip a many other ideas and then having to go back to those, making it look like you lost “innovation.” That’s just my opinion, or maybe i am just dumb? I don’t know.

Nintendo releases yet another must-have Wii title with Mario Kart Wii…
Mario and Company are back and getting their go-karts revved up for the biggest race on the Nintendo Wii console to date! So get buckled up for the newest addition to the Mario Kart Series, Mario Kart Wii. It has been 3 years since we last saw Mario and his friends on go-karts on the Nintendo DS, and since then we have been racing all around the world over Wi-Fi connection to show off our stuff. Mario Kart DS was a big hit, scoring a 91% average on game reviews. We loved Mario Kart DS and we always will love it. Now, the DS’ older brother has taken over and will show us what the Mario Kart Series is really made of! Now, here is our review of Mario Kart Wii!
Aaron Espinoza takes on Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games in this Nintendo Wii Review.
It started June 23, 1991. One of the greatest rivalries in Video Game history sparked up that day. Many fan-boys cried out in pain. Many died. Many. They lost fan-boy battles, they won fan-boy battles. Whether it was at school, at home, or here on the Internet, the fan-boys were there. Many created flash videos, many created forums. But, what happens when the characters finally meet? No, this isn’t on a flash video. It is officially on a video game. What happens when they go at it head to head? They fight to the death! What happens!?!?!
So here I am in another scheme to get some Internet publicity here on word press. Just kidding. No, I am here to set my own path and work my way up to possibly creating my own site sometime in the future. I thank my friend Jesse Salazar for the help and thank you all for visiting. So, I know this isn’t the best intro out there, but I hope you all will come back when I post more news, but most important, my opinions, in this web blog.
Thank you,
Aaron Espinoza
Let me just say a few things before I talk about this trailer and my impression of it. First, I have always been a big time Sonic Fan, and if you havent notice my PSN ID or anything with user created names, then…you have been somewhere else. So I am a big Sonic Fan, and while I am a big Sonic Fan, that doesnt stop me from being a realistic gamer! Lets face it. The past 3-D sonic games were bad. Sonic Adventure was the last great Sonic Game in my opinion. After Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 was released, I lost all my faith for the Sonic Franchise. After I heard rumors about a new Sonic Game, I moaned over to the Sonic Unleashed topic at the Gaming Console Network.com and found myself stunned with joy. The game look amazing from a graphics stand point and I slowly regained my faith in Sonic once again. Sean and my friend Zack knew how happy I was, you can ask them both about it.

With Rock Band 2 looming over the horizon, Aaron Espinoza goes back to his Playstation 3 and reviews the original Rock Band.
Harmonix, the company the had you singing with Karaoke Revolution, the company that took your air-guitar away to make you play Guitar Hero, is back once again to help you live out your rock band fantasies in their newest game, Rock Band for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.
If you have ever played any of Harmonix past games, you already have some idea to what Rock Band is. If not, allow me to elaborate it for you. Rock Band is a game that will feature all of your basic Rock n’ Roll instruments, in other words, the game will feature a Guitar, which can also be used as a Bass Guitar, a Drum set, and of course, a microphone. If you are playing Guitar, Bass, or the drums, the notes consist of five colors, Red, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Blue.
The notes are set up on a note track that you will have to watch the entire time in order to see the upcoming notes as they slide down to the “Note Buster,” as I like to call it. The Note Buster is a bar at the very bottom of the note track that has the five colors previously mentioned. You will have to hit each note depending on what color at the right time when they come to meet the Note Buster.
If you are singing, its is almost the same concept, but with out any colors of any sort. You will have to sing the lyrics (that’s a given) with the right pitch and at the right time on the lyric track . Pretty easy to understand.
Try to imagine when you were younger, and your friends would call you up and tell you to meet them at your local arcade. So you would madly search your house for quarters and any kind of pocket change scattered around the house under the couch, your bed, your money banks, and then run to the arcade with a pocket full of quarters.
Your friends would challenge you to a fighting game, or a shooter and you would go at it to get the highest score… the loser pays for next game. Well, drop you coins… umm, on second thought go put them somewhere safe and take a visit to the PlayStation Store to download a whole new revolutionized arcade style game right on your PS3 console!
From the brilliant minds behind the Crash Banditcoot and Jak and Daxter series, comes the newest and 
Intense adventure yet! Naughty Dog has brought a whole new adventure in the video game world, this is the best that I’ve seen yet! With superb graphics, storyline and voice over work, Uncharted Drakes Fortune maybe a winner
As you can tell, Naughty Dog has decided to lay off the cartoonish type video games for awhile to make a more realistic game. But don’t worry loyal Naughty Dog fans, Uncharted provides many of the comical cut-scenes, action and suspense that we are all used to.
You play as Nathan Drake, who believes that he is a descendant of Sir Francis Drake. Nate is an explorer who loves to just play around and joke. Nate is somewhat of an idiot at times, but he can be awesome too! Nate is a type of guy that makes many mistakes, but from some reason he makes it out of alive, and we just don’t understand how he can still be alive!
In the game you are accompanied by a show host named Elena Fisher. Elena Fisher has an attitude, and can drive Nate crazy at time, and does she have a awesome right hook! She helps you out on your quest to find the treasure of El Dorado, and she wants the record everything she can with her Cam-corder, but Nate doesn’t want the world to find out that they have just found the city of gold, what can Nate do in order to keep this from happening!?
Aaron Espinoza takes us back and gives us his take with a classic review of Socom U.S Navy Seals Fire Team Bravo 2 for the Sony Playstation Portable (PSP).
Socom has been around for quite sometime now, ever since the days of the PS2. Socom has now furthered on to the PSP. Much like Socom’s tiny child to take on the go.
In Socom U.S. Navy Seals Fire Team Bravo 2, nothing really has changed from its original series that came from the PS2. So most people will feel right at home when playing.
Sonic and friends are back on the PSP racing against each other to the finish and introducing 3 more new rivals to join the ring bashing fun in the newest installment in the Sonic Rivals series, SONIC RIVALS 2. With all new modes and cards, will Sonic Rivals 2 be as good as the first Sonic Rivals?
Sonic is back to bring racing mayhem with Shadow, Knuckles, Silver, and Metal Sonic! And with three newly added rivals Tails, Espio and Rouge, this will be the biggest race yet
This time around, Sonic Rivals has been taken up a notch. Backbone entertainment has decided to add more voice acting and extra modes to the game. The voice acting does extremely well, especially since we all hate it when we have to read most of the character dialog! Backbone also decided to add 6 modes to the game, which can be a good addition to Sonic Rivals 2, but I will explain these later on in the review.
Sonic is back on his Extreme Gear and ready to show off his signature speed in his newest game, Sonic Riders Zero Gravity! Sonic Riders Zero Gravity redefines gravity in a whole new way, but can the power to minipulate gravity make this game good or a fluke?
Mario and friends are back! And no, its not in Super Smash Bros! This time around Mario and Co. take on soccer a second time, in the newest Mario Sports game, Mario Strikers Charged!
Mario Strikers Charged, which is the sequel to the original Mario Strikers that debuted on the Nintendo Gamecube a few years back, the game revolves around the sport, soccer. But has does Nintendo have what it takes to put Mario in a soccer game?
