2013 video game of the year awards

Video Game of the Year Awards 

Eligible Games: These will be limited to games I have played. I am not including certain games due to I haven’t played that much or I don’t care for them(THE LAST OF US).
Here are the games that made me stay in the house this year. My biggest regret is I didnt play all of them as much as I wanted to......


·         Pikmin 3- Perhaps the most addictive game i played this year. Pikmin 3 is cute, but its far from easy. You have to collect fruit to stay alive or not get a gameover. So I think this adds another element of difficulty to the game. Rarely did I find myself  losing all my Pikminn, but i found myself out of fruit a lot. 

·         Grand Theft Auto V- GTA five is an excellent game. I feel almost like its a bit much to be honest. I dont like GTA games that much anymore but I had to give this one a try. Its got enough new features to keep me interested, however i still feel that this juggernaut of a game is really just GTA San Andreas mixed with GTA 4. Anyways i plan to play this more in the future.

·         Pokemon Y-Another game i have barely played at this current date. Its a fresh look for the series, but the gameplay remains about the same. The game starts off really easy, and i've heard its a little easier than previous pokemon games.Overall i feel its a fresh start for the series and I cant wait to beat it.

·         Tomb Raider-I really loved this installment of Tomb Raider. It was just hardcore and very realistic. The game was a thrill ride. It was never too hard, but it wasn't that easy either. I really loved the way Laura was so vulnerable in the begining, yet by the end of the game; she is the confident "Tomb Raider" we know and love. Overall I think this is one of the best games not only of the year, but all time. Everything was on point, except the multi-player lol.


·         Metal Gear Solid Rising- MGSR was a game i wasnt going to buy at first. This one really hot game! Its very violent.....but unlike God Of War, you have to use stealth sometimes....which quite frankly in a fast paced game like this....is very annoying. The boss fights are quite amazing and well scripted. Only the final Boss was kinda out of place to me. The game is hard, but if you know when to parry its easier.

       God Of war Ascension-Ascension is a good game, but it falls short of the excellence that was GOW 1-3 and originis collections. The game has excellent controls and fighting system. As far the story goes...there arent even that many cut scenes. This feels like a dumbed down GOW, but the puzzles are more challenging than in GOW 3.


·         Zelda Windwaker HD-WInd Waker HD is another of my favorite games this year. It features a very expressive Toon Link. This is a solid game and definitely one of Link's better adventures. I need to play it more.


       Call of Duty Ghosts- I dont understand all the hate. CODG is perhaps the best Call of Duty since my beloved MW2. Its really fun. Theres even a new extinction mode that i need to try when i get tired of the super addictive  mutliplauyer.



aALso i will make a top 10 games i have played of all time......be on the lookout

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

 I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...
