My Favorite RPG's of all time

1. Final Fantasy X-This should come as no surprise. FFX is a top 3 game of mine all time, so this was a no brainer. FFX has an incredible story, great characters and fun combat. It’s a turn based RPG meaning the fights can really take a long time.

2. Pokemon Heart Gold- PHG is imo the best Pokemon to date. It’s got added features of GBA and DS pokemons. There’s also 16 gym leaders, rival fights, Elite 4 round 1 and 2, and Ash Kethum(RED) at the end.

3. Paper Mario-This is a special game. Its inspired by Super Mario RPG(go figure). Its just as good if not better. 3 sequels to the Mario RPG extravaganza. The game is pretty challenging, as you rescue Princess with a party of fellow Mushroom Kingdom characters.

4. Pokemon Yellow-This game gets the nod over Red and Blue due to its addition of Pikachu following you mostly. Also you can aquire Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander all in this one game. Its also a little easier than Red and Blue….

5. Final Fantasy XII-This game is waaaaaay harder than FFX. But the combat is better and deeper. I love the way it looks, but the story keeps it from top 4. The characters aren’t all that either.

6. Mass Effect 2-I love ME3 but this one I played the most for now. Its just like star trek. Fun inventive combat. Lots of dialogue decisions. ME2 is the ME to beat.

7. The Witcher 3-This is easily the most expansive RPG I’ve ever played. Its plays well too. My biggest complaint is it’s a little too realistic in a fantasy sense. TOO MUCH to do. Great characters and story however.

8. Lord of the Rings 3^rd Age-You may not have heard of this game. Think FFX with new LOTR characters. Its great!!! Nuff said.

9. Final Fantasy VII-I know this is a classic, but it hasn’t aged well. The combat is fun and the story is terrific however. (BAD Graphics/No Voice Acting) keep it from top 5.

10. Fallout 3-I’m not a huge Fallout fan but this game delivered the goods. Its like WItcher in that its TOO MUCH. But its atmospheric and fun.

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20) Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19) Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”. 18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe has come back, and with a classic album. He seemed to be back on tracks with Food and Liquor II, but F&L2 wasn’t as fun to listen to as his earlier albums. Even LASERS was more fun. This album however, is very complex and fun to listen to. It’s also incredibly well produced. Lupe proves he’s still a top lyricist in the game. Check out his lyrical showcase on Mural, or storytelling on Prisoner 1 & 2. He’s got a really long song called Chopper which features a lot of guests but its all good. The last song might be the weakest which features Ab-Soul. No Scratches feat. Nikki Jean is one of my favorite songs here. The interludes are pretty intersing, but ultimately skippable. This album is already up for album of the year, and honestly it will be hard for anyone to match this effort. The verdict... its 10/10 for me. This is a great album
