Hi everybody it's your lovable blogger NightRoad here with a video game review for ya. If you have forgotten we have a 5-star rating system for everything we review.
So lets get started, today I'm reviewing something I think everybody should at least try. And it's Ben 10 Alien Force Game Creator. Which is a online game where you make the game, play the game, and have others play your game.
Game play:
For starters the controls are standard for your online game: up arrow key=jump, down arrow key=move down, left arrow key=move left, right arrow key=move right space bar=special move.
Now lets get down to business, the game play really depends on the game your playing. It can range from being very interesting and engulfing, to being repetitive and boring, and from being to difficult to even finish the goal at hand. Which brings me to the object of the games. The goals are as follows, it can be as simple as getting to the gate, or just defeating all the enemy's then getting to the gate, or getting all the gems then getting to the gate, or a combination of all three. Now that you know about the goals time to learn about how you go about completing those goals with the characters.
Characters:
There are a total of four characters and they each have there own special abilities.
Swampfire: Swampfire is a fire base character that shoots fire from his hands.
Jetray: Jetray is a flight base character that can fly, and can shoot lasers from his tail.
Spidermonkey: Spidermonkey is a primate type character that can jump really high, grab on to walls, and shoots webs from his tail.
Humongousaur: Humongousaur is a cross between a dinosaur and a really big man. He's very strong and can't jump very high.
Graphics:
The graphics are standard 2D. Don't really know if this is part of the graphics, but every once in awhile the game slows down which slows down your actions. But it isn't a very big problem for me. That's pretty much it.
Creating a Game:
The game takes you step by step through the process of creating a game. In total there are six steps you need to complete.
Step 1: Game starter
In this step you pick from nine platforms on which you build your game on.
Step 2: Background
In this step you pick from nine backgrounds.
Step 3: Hero
In this step you pick from four heroes you play as.
Step 4: Goal
In this step you pick from four goal.
Step 5: Level Design
In this step you pick what obstacles, gems, enemies, etc. that you want in the game.
Step 6: Test
In this step you test the game to make sure it's 'beatable'.
Now after all that the game will be finished.
Rating:
All in all it's a great game, so I give it 4 1/2 stars, but if I was judging individual games it would be much lower. But the creators of the game can't help what people make.
If you want to check it out the title of this post is a link to the game.

Viacom Is Always Watching
As of Wednesday a judge, who clearly doesn't respect the laws already set, ruled that Viacom has full access to all info of the members of Youtube. So if your not too sure on what that includes let me tell you. They have access to your user name, password, e-mail address, name, what videos you watch and when, and your IP address. Yeah that's right they get everything. Now they 'say' that they are just using this info to see what videos people are watching. Now if your like me your probably thinking, "Why would they need all that information just to see what videos we're watching?" The answer is they don't. All they need are the video counts. They also 'say' that they won't use this info to sue anybody.......BULLSHIT! If there not using all this info not to file lawsuits, what are they using it for. Mmmmm....Maybe world domination? Maybe, but what do I know. Anyway basically it sucks, but unless google fights back there's nothing we can do.

Zombies Hate 4 Person CO-OP
Now I'm a very strong supporter of the zombie apocalypse, so I am very excited for Left 4 Dead. For those of you who don't know of Left 4 Dead, it's an upcoming FPS from Turtle Rock Studios. But it's not your normal run of the mill shoot em up. You actually have to 'work' with the computer to play the game. And it's just not one other player, your playin with three other players. So by now your probably thinking "NightRoad want that just slow me down." And my answer to that is surpirsly no. Cause from what I've seen it the AI is very intuitive. So they will be kicking zombie ass right along with you. But lets say you guys get separated or your group is doing something you don't want them to do. Then that's when the command circle comes in handy. Now the command circle has stuff you can pick for your character says to your group. So lets say your ready to leave the zombie infested warehouse, you can pick let's go, and your character can say something like "HURRY THE FUCK UP!" But all that shit doesn't come close to this. You can actually play as a FUCKIN ZOMBIE. That is so awesome.
So if your as excited as I am about it be sure to pick it up for the Xbox on November 4, 2008.

Will Metal Gear Really Be All That We Hope For?
Now I know that I'm kinda late on getting this news out , but better late than never. So if you've been keepin up with the 'Holy Grail' of the PS3, aka Guns of the Patriots, you would already know that konami has limited what reviewers can reveal about it. Such as length of cutscenes and installation time. Now I would understand not giving away spoilers or what the cutscenes are about, but what can it hurt if someone gives away the cutscene length. To me this says 'We are Konami and we don't have any faith in our product.' All I'm saying is that there is no reason not to what to reveal it, if anything it will help. Let people know what there getting into.
