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

Tech Review: Iphone Air

 I have only had this phone for over a week but I feel the need to review it. I recently got a 512gb light gold iPhone Air. This phone is so thin. You really have to hold it for yourself to believe it. I knew when I used it at a local Best Buy I had to have it. The phone is also a modern marvel having most of the technology in the camera bump. Of course you're wondering about that camera and battery life.  Honestly the battery is decent. It gets me through the day at work with minimal charging ( I mean who goes somewhere with no charger anymore?). The camera is good too. I'm not a huge camera guy anyways. The phone's 6.5 inch Super Retina XDR OLED display is great. I really notice a difference from my old phone (iPhone 12). The phone doesn't really get that hot either which is great. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the one speaker on the phone....but honestly it's not that bad. I usually use headphones anyways. Apple Intelligence is still in beta but I think ...

Album Review: Kanye West- Donda 2

This was another Kanye album I wasn't too hype to listen to cause of its bad reputation. I am glad he put it on traditional music services.The album was available on this weird music player thing in 2022 at first. Kanye raps alot about his ex wife Kim Kardashian here. I know he did on Donda 1, but he does it a lot more here. The song "Get Lost" feels empty and is so boring. "Security" has a weird beat...I mean it's too weird for its own good.  I really like "Keep the Flowers", its got a nice beat to it.I liked "Too Easy" as well. "City of God" is arguably the best song....Alicia Keys does a great job, as does Five Foreign. A different version of "530" is here as well. I enjoyed "Pablo" too which features Future and Travis Scott. Ultimately its an average album....but it wasn't that bad overall. However it did fall woefully short of the first Donda 2 which was great. Lyrics 18 Beats 21 Depth 18 Tilt 18 Ver...

Video Game Review: Jedi Fallen Order

 I meant to review this game way back in the day when I first beat it but this is coming after my 2nd play-through. This time I played the game on hard difficulty and man was it tough. Compared to Jedi Survivor I think the game has a better story. You join Jedi padawan Cal Kestis as he escapes a scrapyard planet Bracca , fleeing from the Empire. Cal comes face to face with an Inquistor called 2nd sister. You end up fighting her a total of 4 times in the game.  The main story is Cal must help a former Jedi named Cere and her pilot Greez to find a Jedi holocron that has a list of force sensitive children to rebuild the Jedi Order. I gotta say the planets you visit are all for the most part pretty flushed out . I found Zeffo to be the main planet and navigating it is truly awful. Well I’m glad they made navigation better in Jedi Survivor. Of all the planets Dathomir (Darth Mauls planet) was by far the worst. There was tough enemies around every corner there and hard boss fights w...
