Forever Stallone
Since I did probably the best Movie-to-game adaptation yesterday It's time to talk about one of the worst ones!(although generally when a movie to game adaptation comes out, being good is the exception not the rule)
You know what? It's Friday, and I really don't want to talk about Cliffhanger: The Game (you lost it). I can describe why you should never play this game in one sentence, If you stand still for too long you freeze and it's Game Over. Enjoy your Friday night guys, unless of course the post title describes you :(

Check out my Dubz: 007 Goldeneye
So I was inspired by alot of the bloggers here who are so knowledgeable about one particular subject. Two that immediately come to mind are The Watch dude, and This guy and his Scotch. When I think of cool watches, and high class liqueur, only one guy comes to mind, James F***ing Bond ya'll! So today I will be talking about the best iteration of the Bond Franchise, Goldeneye 007, for the Nintendo 64.
This game is significant in many ways. Say what you want about Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda and any one of Nintendo's rehashed flagship series, but Goldeneye put the N64 on the map, and offered a legitimate reason to buy the system for anyone who was older than 12. This game does everything right, a long, fun and challenging single player campaign full of immersion, outstanding control system(Many thought the N64 couldn't handle an FPS because of the controller setup)The graphics were superb for the time too, and really made 3 dimensional games viable.
But let's be cereal for a sec, nobody played this for the single player, you played it to own your friends in the phenomenal multiplayer experience. For me personally, this game defined what multiplayer could, and is continuing to be on the console platform. It wasn't particularly innovating anything, just streamlining and improving on a formula that had been successful on the PC for a generation. For years, PC games enjoyed a monopoly on fun deathmatch style multiplayer games, but when 007 came along, he turned on that British charm, and seduced us all with his unique, and stylish game. I'd hit it.

A Cheater is you!
I'd like to talk about something that's been bugging me for a while, cheating. First, check out this article courtesy of http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com: Cheaters
It talks all about how Generation Y is using technology to beat the school system, and forgo studying for tests. This got me thinking, how many of you fellow generation Y people had one of the following items as kid
It's not hard to see why our generation is acceptable with cheating. Think about How high the Divorce rate is in the country, and the recent Baseball-Steroids scandals. We grew up spoiled and stupid and we needed help just to get through a hard level on a video game. For shame on you Generation Y! What's your personal opinion on cheating/hacking in games right now, or in the past?
