Metal Gear Solid Easter Eggs

Seeing how Easter is almost over I figured that I should do a special Easter Egg talk of some of my most favorite Easter Eggs. Some of my most favorite Easter Eggs happen in Metal Gear Solid series, even in Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty under a desk next to the parrot you can see Easter Island statues to pose as an Easter Egg.

One of my favorite Easter Egg is in Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater where at the end of the game you can see Ocelot through the window of the Presidents office giving you hand gestures. As well as throughout the game you can see Ocelot give you hidden hand gestures. As well as The Boss mocking him on his hand gestures in the torture room.

There is even a sexually hidden clip in Metal Gear Solid 3 is when you keep the transmitter inside you and escape from prison and meet EVA under the waterfall. Once there you can see a special hidden clip.

Another game that I notice had a mention of Metal Gear Solid was Hitman Blood Money when one of the missions said "Only pussies hide under boxes."

There is also Silent Hill posters that are all over Metal Gear Solid and even Silent Hill has quite a few references to Metal Gear Solid as well as the other Silent Hill series. At one area Heather finding Solid Snakes body inside a wall and she takes his silencer. As well as Heathers landing a certain way to make a reference to Solid Snakes pose at the beginning of Metal Gear Solid 2 when he jumps onto the tanker.

Easter Eggs will always be in movies, books and video games the best ways to find them is to explore and keep your eyes open for anything odd that comes your way.

Jeanne d'Arc

I just defeated Jeanne d'Arc it took me a while but I have to admit it was probably one of the best tactics game I played. I played quite a few tactics game and they abuse me with their leveling and just the whole movement of the game. But I think I found a game that didn't beat me bagging for me to stop until I cry and give up on the game.



The game at first was really in depth of the Joan of Arc story but once at a certain part it started it own little story leaving the tale of Joan of Arc behind. The ending I thought was okay there is hardly endings that I really like but it wrapped everything up leaving it so it could have a sequel if needed.



At the end of the game there is a free battle area that you can go to a cemetery and fight ghouls and ghost in. Other then that there is nothing really to do in it but repeat the ending over and over.



In the game you get to choose between two hidden characters either a whip girl named Rose or an aged witch that looks young named Claire. I went with Claire because I needed more magic users on my team and she helped a lot time and time again.



I don't usually latched onto a lot of female characters mostly because I feel that they always lack the will that I look for in characters. But Jeanne is probably one of those great characters I can respect to play as a female leader in the game.



It's a good game that I recommend to anyone who likes JRPG tactic games, it doesn't take too much to level and there isn't much of a grind you have to go through. So it's fairly easy to get through the game with little to no problem.

Final Fantasy X-2

It's been a long time since I played this game, I paid full price with this game and was very disappointed in it. This game shouldn't have been a sequel to Final Fantasy X, at best it should have been a Final Fantasy game of it's own. It wouldn't have been too hard to make it either.

"A young girl is in search of her love who died 2 years ago, she believed he was actually dead until she found a sphere. This sphere contain images to what might be her long lost love and is in search with her two friends and her new formed group the Gullwings to find answers by sphere hunting the world."



That would have been a good game on it's own but instead they made it a sequel to one of the best Final Fantasy's and making it a big mistake and almost ruining the series.

It wasn't a bad game it is quite good in it's own way, with the singing, the side missions, the jobs and the fighting combat. But it also had a lot of flaws such as "New Areas" that were some how hidden in the first game such as Wakkas hidden cave. I just couldn't believe they tried to pull something like that it was just really unbelievable. Not to mention a lot of the game had plot holes such as this "Ultimate Weapon Vegnagun" and Lenne trying to stop her boyfriend Shuyin from using the weapon on the world because he didn't want Lenne to go to war because she was a summoner. But wait. How can Lenne be a summoner? The first summoner was Yunalesca who defeated Sin, so Sin shouldn't come back for another ten years so there is no reason for Lenne to be a summoner. It's only been two years since it happened, and summoners don't go on the pilgrimage until Sin reappears. Maybe I missed something but that has to be a big plot hole right there. Just like in Final Fantasy X how Auron was able to go to Dream Zanarkand.



All in all I would never accept this as a sequel to Final Fantasy X the ending for it was just as good without this add on.

Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed

A while ago I defeated Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed it was a really fun game for the Wii and the first game I defeated for the system. At first I found the controlling really hard to do, mostly because I am not use to Wii remote and this adjustment took a while before I got the hang of it.

The game is about the 1970's where Pox started a fast food restaurant called Big Willy's using the dead human bodies that Krypto killed throughout the generations for DNA. Now the Colonel Kluckin the fast food rival to Pox discovered the secret behind it all and is trying to bring ruins to Pox's Big Willy.



Throughout the whole game they keep making puns about the "Big Willy" robot or restaurant. It was funny but a lot of the time disturbing. I was hoping for more humor around the Wii system and how this game wasn't on the Playstation. They also had a lot of missions one of them explains what happened to Kryptos love interest in Destroy All Humans! 2, Natalya.

Krypto now seems to be a lot more happier being on Earth then before in the first and second game all he did was call the humans stupid monkeys. As well as hated everything about them and wanted to destroy everything that they treasure most. Now Krypto seems to be warming up to the planet and wants nothing more then to get laid by a hot Earth girl.



Unlike Destroy All Humans! 2 all the places aren't real country's but resemble certain places like Vietnam.

There is an Island called Fantasy-Atoll which is a rip off of Fantasy Island and you see everything in there from Pirates to survivors from plane crashes.



There is a lot of new weapons as well as old ones my favorite is the Zombie gun which turns everyone you use it on into zombies and sometimes the people they bite as well. It's like play Resident Evil. As well as Big Willy the mascot of Pox's fast food restaurants which you can go inside and use attacks such as laser eyes and bad breath.



The bosses in it were awesome, my favorite as the stereotyped Asian who rode a bike throwing bomb strapped chickens at you.

It was quite entertaining chasing him around trying to blow him up while he makes cracks about Chinese food and Chickens.



The only things that I didn't like about the game was that it was too short and there wasn't enough talking amongst the people when they saw Krypto. In the other two games there was nothing but yelling, screaming and puns about Krypto or themselves.



The game itself is before Destroy All Humans! 3 Path of the Furon but at the end of the game they do lead up the it. Which I think is a good way to end the game, hopefully I will have a next gen system when Destroy All Humans! 3 comes out so I can play it.

I Have No Rhythm!

I just finished playing Unison a game I bought a day ago at a pawnshop. In high school my friend always talked about this game and how it was awesome dance game. I played it and I made it official I have no rhythm. Whether it's Mad Maestro, Dance Dance Revolution, Rayman Raving Rabbids, or Unison. One thing is for sure I have no rhythm in any of them any of them. I guess I am not meant to play these kinds of games. Perhaps it's my lack of memorizing that is the key issue.



I wish I could review more of this game and really get into it but I am stuck on the practice part and I think I need a C to complete stage. I did this for about half an hour and I need to go to bed soon so I doubt I will do anymore today.

Jeanne d'Arc

Growing up I heard many stories of Joan of Arc, a woman of only seventeen who lead France to many victories over the English in the name of God. After being injured and refusing to give up on the battles she was captured by the English and trialled. She was convicted of Heresy by the English courts and sentenced to death by burning at the stake. I idled her as a child when I saw her on TV with the show Wishbone.





There is a lot of stories, movies, and so on about her. To my surprise when I found the video game about her called Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc in French). It's a tactics JRPG, about Jeannes adventures through the power of her holy amulet. So just by hearing that part you know they do mix fantasy into reality in this game. You can also use magic and there are animal-humans in it, but the story still sticks very closely to the plot.





There are anime cut scenes in it which I find really amazing. Mostly because everyone have French accents to make it really authentic. The only way it could be any better would to have French speaking and subtitles on the bottom.





The battle system is really good for people who like tactic games but hate the grind of it like me. Leveling is very easy because you gain experience doing anything from fighting, healing, magic, counter attacking, and living through the stage. The equipping makes it so you can make your character unique instead of having 4 classes of healers or 3 of warriors. You can equipped skills and magic to characters you desire and even have their elements of Luna, Sol, and Stella.



I really like this a lot it's one of the better tactics games I played. I'm already on the second chapter and I am not going insane from it.
