Just finished playing The Warriors the game. I was quite surprised when a few members of the group either died or got arrested. It was a good game found the final boss a little challenging at first until you learn that he only has six shots before he reloads so it's all about timing. The ending itself wasn't that good and it's a game that I will probably never replay again. It probably would have been a better game if you fought more gangs instead of a selected few. You hardly actually see anything from The Lizzies, The Moon Runners, or The Punks. I thought there would be boss fights throughout but there was only about 5 or so which I guess I can't complain about too much.

Monster Hunter Freedom
I love Dragons and this game has a lot of them, with different types and locations of each Dragon. As well as a lot of monsters resembling dinosaurs and mammals we have today such as cats. Unlike regular house cats these cats known as "Felynes" can do a lot more then laze around. Such as mine, garden, fish, steal from you, take you back to camp when you pass out, and best of all cook for you in your kitchen. You get your first Felyne from a Cat Lady that has them hanging out of her big bag that she carries on her back. She reminds me of the cat lady from the Simpsons that throws cats at you and mumbling while doing so.
This portable game has a lot of things you can do besides hunt dragons, you can also fish, Barbecue, mine, hunt monsters. You missions from the Village Chef who assigns to do task for the village under contract. You start off learning the basics before heading for the hunts.
While hunting you can use different methods to hunt your prey, the way I usually do it is by luring out the monster by luring raw meat I slain from near by monsters. It wont take too long for them to come, then I make my move with a Flash Bomb stunning them as I move in to strike. My weapon of choice is the hammer. I find using a sword slow and hard to use compared to the hammer.
I haven't gotten very far in the game I am just finishing level 2 with hunting down the Legendary Liver quest.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl
I don't even own a Wii and I really can't wait for this game. It's about time Snake is in more cross-overs besides Silent Hill. Despite it being extremely childish and the fact that Snake talking about Yoshi sounded more like Naked Snake then Solid Snake made me shake my head but besides that this game looks like it's going to be really fun to play.

Stalkers
In quite a few horror games there tends to be "Stalkers" that roam the areas you roam an chase you sometimes never leaving you long enough for a breather. Stalker type monsters first appeared for me in the Clock Tower series such as Scissorman and Sledgehammer. Then in Silent Hill 2 with Pyramid Head, and Resident Evil with Mr. X and Nemesis.
I find the game more appealing knowing there is no safe place to rest, keeping moving staying on your feet and never look back. It's these kinds of emotions that cause you to panic at times and making it hard to think properly and even harder to do actions knowing someone is standing right there ready to kill you.
In most of the games I named you are given choices such as Resident Evil 3 where you can hide, run or be really destructive with your opponent. Such as the beginning in front of Raccoon City Police Station where you are given a choice either to run inside or fight. Choosing to run inside is the safest bet seeing how you just saw one of your comrade die in a painful way from Nemesis's harsh tentacle whip. But to stay and fight would lead to your death unless you are either quite skilled with in the games department or quite skilled in the cheats.
In a lot of other games though such as Clock Tower giving the option to fight is not available to the very end in some cases. Best thing to do is run and hide hoping they wont see you and not to make too much noise so they can hear you (I learned that the hard way in Clock Tower 3.)
Stalkers are an excellent way to keep you on your feet in horror games giving you panic and fear is what horror games are about. Sadly though you don't see much of them anymore hopefully when knew horror games come out on Wii, PS3, and 360 it will be just as frightful as the older games and series.

It's Wonderland
The Inside look of Alice.
I grew up watching such movies as Alice in Wonderland. With so many things that are now used to describe life with this story. Such as The Matrix it isn't too hard to imagine that someone like American McGee would make a twisted version of his own.
When I first played this game I wasn't good at video games on PC, and I wasn't use to the WASD control pad so I found playing the game very hard. Sadly though my flaky sister borrowed it and I never seen it in 3 years. I finally got it back just recently but I was no longer in high school where having a video game was considered a blessing. Now I don't have time with all the other games I have and the little room I have on my PC (Need to clean my computer of files.) I will someday return to twisted Wonderland to give it one more shot. Hopefully around Halloween so it has a better feel for the games atmosphere.
My characters name on the other hand ALICExia isn't from this game or any relations to the game. It is my middle name and my great grandmothers name that I was named after. I treasure this middle name as much as the memories of my great grandmother so I use this name a lot throughout fantasy games or video games for that matter that would allow a long name like Alicexia (Curse you Pokemon Pearl!).
