Gaming Misc's Heisman of Gaming Award 2007

This year was truly an awesome year of gaming but if you want to hear me rant about how awesome it was go read my last blog. But if you want the results then keep reading. In a year with so many great games which game is the cream of the crop, the best of the best, the top performer, Gaming Misc's Heisman of Gaming. Well it was hard narrowing the nominees with so many games to three games but when I look at the three nominees it just makes sense. The Nominees are Orange Box, Super Mario Galaxy, and Bioshock. All of these games are outstanding and I would recommend them to anyone who is, for one old enough to play these games (Bioshock is not for the youngsters or the faint of heart [basically everyone that reads this blog]) and to all those that love great games, because all of these games are great. If I can describe why these games stand above all the rest of the games this year it would be with with one word, FRESH! Everyone knows that keeping it fresh is one of my mottos and all of these games do that. Super Mario Galaxy takes what is great about Mario games and turns it on its head, literally, with great level design that uses gravity in ways never considered. Orange Box smashes what people expect in a game and for $50 gives you five games, Half-life 2 and it's two add ons (which together can be considered the best one player First Person Shooter ever), Team Fortress 2 (A great and fresh multiplayer game that is all about fun) and Portal( one of the most fresh games ever, a puzzle FPS, who thought it was possible!!!!). Then there is Bioshock which redefines games as an art form, with the best atmosphere in a game ever, a storyline that tackles issues like free will, genetic engineering, and morality of survival, and couple this with an unique rpg element to the game, this game is great. But in the end all three games can not win so the winner is...... Super Mario Galaxy. This game was just really great. It showed the world and myself what the Wii can do. It has great visuals, presentation, sound, controls, and gameplay. It keeps everything fresh with fantastic level design, new powerups and varying game types. It is truely a masterpiece of gaming and well deserving of the title Heisman of Gaming - 2007.

I applaud your decision.



Me too... Again. This blog is basically just a repeat of the last, but I'm glad you're back Spidder-man.

I'm happy for ya', Mario!! But next year you won't be so lucky, for you see, Star Fox games average one game every 3 years, I expect to see the next one comin' 'round in 2009! Then we'll see who the bestest is! >:)
Posted by Piggy


HEY! WAIT A MINTUE!!
The 2006 version of Game Trailers reviews for DS games didn't even nominate SFC! The contest is rigged! A mario game won AGAIN (new super mario bros)!!!!!! IT'S RIGGED!!!
Posted by Piggy



What's Game Trailers?



Dope!!
Posted by Piggy



YEAH Gametrailers is awesome! I posted there Game of The Year video on my Homepage. They are the ones who did both the Zelda and Metroid Retrospectives. It is pretty much the best place for videos. And New Super Mario Bros. is the BEST game on the DS! Of course it won best of the year. (Though maybe Zelda is better, I am not very far)



What about Nintendogs?



NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! STUPID NINTENDO!!!!!!!! RAAAGGAGGG!HHHHHHHH!!!!!!! %^$$%##$%#$!~!!!! %$$% #!!! %^$$%#$##%^^!!! ^$%^#$%^!! !%^$^%$!!!! $%^$% ^!!!!!!! &^$%^$%^$!@! &%^$!^ ! &%&$^ !^%$$!$^ ^! $^ $!#^ $#$^^!$#&*^! !^%^#!%^#$!^^! STUPID!

March 9th! GREAT!!
Posted by Piggy



Another failure for Wii-- ANyway, I disagree with you, SPG. Star Fox Command was the best DS ever, I beat the first temple in Phantom Hourglass and it does not compare. Neither does new super mario bros. And I saw that 2007 award thing, I'm happy for nintendo, maybe now that they amde their precious mario game they can concentrate on Star Fox...
Posted by Piggy



How about they concentrate on releasing their games when they say they will!!!



How about "No"!?!
Posted by Piggy


HERE! SOLID PROOF THAT THEY'RE MAKING STAR FOX WII! READ IT AND WEEP! >:)
The Wii controller, Miyamoto told Famitsu, could be easily used to control the airwing in StarFox. And whilst not confirming or denying that a StarFox title is in development, it seems to SPOnG that a new version is highly likely. Otherwise, why would Miyamoto even bother mentioning it?
Posted by Piggy


MORE PROOF!
In an exclusive VIP interview with Nintendo of Europe (registration required to view), when asked if a Wii version of Star Fox was likely, Imamura replies: "I wonder how the adventure of Fox and friends is going to go next time?! I have come up with some idea in my mind but it is still just a small one. I will try my best so that I can deliver it to you some time!"
Posted by Piggy



Whoa, that was an awesome new Brawl stage! Possibly the best one since Isle Dolfino.
Posted by PFJ



DON'T EVEN TALK ABOUT BRAWL!!! I am soooooo angry!!! Stick PIcs SMASH!!!! ARGGGG!!!



Okaaaaay, I guess I'll talk 'bout star fox. I'm gonna be REALLY mad if I don't see a star fox: wii in 08 or 09!!!
Posted by Piggy

Halo 3 kinda stunk after getting used to playing metroid via wiimote.

Posted by Piggy



Ha! I bet you're all really jealous that I got all 9 command endings!
Posted by Piggy



Halo is ok but Galaxy, Bioshock, Orange Box, and Metroid are all better.



My most anticipated game of 2008 is Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii. But I am hoping for some big announcements. Kirby Wii!!!!!



What about Digimon: Ultimate Worlds Unite?



What about 'Star Fox: Mercenaries'?
Posted by Piggy



Or 'Star Fox: Visual antys'?

All good choices.

Aw shut it MALfoy!


RUMOR: KID ICARUS for Wii
Digg.com is reporting that according to sources Factor-5 (makers of Rogue Squadron on Gamecube and Lair on PS3) is making a Kid Icarus game for the Wii. Factor-5 used to be a second party developer for Nintendo until they decided to split of and explore other opportunities. Well, that other opportunity was Lair for the PS3 and that game was a flop because Sony forced Factor-5 to only have Six-Axes motion controls and they where terrible. A few months ago they announced that they were working on a Nintendo system again, the Wii. And digg.com says it is Kid Icarus. It is only a rumor but I hope it is true because Factor-5 has made a lot of great games in the past and Kid Icarus needs to make a comeback.


RUMOR; STAR FOX WII
"Speaking to Japanese games bible Famitsu recently, Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned a few of the hopes he has for a new version of StarFox on the Wii, following the recent announcement of a DS version of the SNES and N64 classic. The Wii controller, Miyamoto told Famitsu, could be easily used to control the airwing in StarFox. And whilst not confirming or denying that a StarFox title is in development, it seems to SPOnG that a new version is highly likely. Otherwise, why would Miyamoto even bother mentioning it?" "In an exclusive VIP interview with Nintendo of Europe (registration required to view), when asked if a Wii version of Star Fox was likely, Imamura replies: "I wonder how the adventure of Fox and friends is going to go next time?!

Posted by Piggy



Bunch a sellouts! Sold their souls to the allmighty dollar!



No I am pretty sure that was you.
Posted by Hang Loose



Yeah! Losers! They even changed the forums to be "tech support" just so that they don't have to deal with complaints! Just shove it on the fan-guys on the forums!
Posted by Piggy



Yeah, except the forums people are idiots too.
Posted by PFJ



*GASP*



*shakes head at PFJ and mouths 'NO! NOOO!!'*
Posted by Piggy



Yeah they didn't listen to me when I said that Smash Bros was going to be delayed. And look now! They didn't have a clue.

Posted by Piggy



Dear Serious, despite of having beaten every star fox game I can lay my hands on, I now feel more alone then ever. I think that you would understand this, seeing as that you have probably completed several game franchises yourself. From Harry.
Posted by Piggy



Dear Harry, I have found that the star fox series always leaves me with an empty feeling in my heart, since it is so sub par. Snuffles



Sirius Black... He's like smoke. He's like smoke with your BARE hands.
Posted by PFJ



WHOA!



Dear Serious, Star Fox rocks and you suck. From Harry.
Posted by Piggy



Really really REALLY good Brawl stage!
Posted by PFJ



Dear Sirious, I apologize for my last letter. I don't know what got into me. But I'm not sorry for what I said. You're a fool. From Harry.
Posted by Piggy



It will be interesting indeed! But I think the background looks a little bland. I hope it is not boring.



Pshaw! Enough doubting! When has brawl EVER let us down??
Posted by Piggy



Twice so far. Who knows how many more times it'll make monkeys out of us.

Posted by PFJ



Yeah. Or msybe it's just one big pixel! That's about the level of effort they usually put into star fox games.



H-how can you be so mean?

OHMIGAWSH!!! EL MUCHACHOS!! THAT MAY BE THE BEST @#$% FIND OF THE CENTURY!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Oh man!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!! Did you see Fox?? Did you see his arwing?? *faints*
Posted by Piggy



It was ok.



Okay, time for a star fox lecture. Looks like the arwings doing some changes. It's controlled with a little stick thing now, whereas in 64 Fox would put his hands on the control panel. In Adventures, the cockpit is not seen but it's safe to say that he uses a junky steering wheel. In assault, it controls similar to scorpian class attack cruisers like in Nemesis, as can be seen in the opening cut scene. And oh MAN! This basically throws the g-diffusor theory right out the window!
Posted by Piggy



Brawl is going to be ten times better than I thought.
Posted by PFJ



Really?



Oh yes, the G-diffusor theory only works with a control panel mechanism.
Posted by Piggy



Not that! That youtube video was 0-some!
Posted by PFJ



*through clenched teeth* Getting back to the G- diffusor theory...
Posted by Piggy

*drives to the store and makes a mad dash for the shoe isle* AUGH! IT'S NOT THERE!!
Posted by Piggy



We had the shoe isle removed because of too many complaints. But we CAN offer you the bread isle.



I-- I'll take ANY thing!
Posted by Piggy



Don't listen to him boy! The bread isle burned down years ago. They say it was an accident... CODSWALLOP in my opinion. No, let me tell you, it was the Joker who done it! Just walked in one day and out and out torched the joint! Out of the blue. No reason other than to make people suffer. It's a sad tale boy, and you best keep on the lookout because that maniac is still out there somewhere! Lookin' for more lives to destroy and more bread to burn.



Aww! You're just trying to scare me! I bet I could spend the night in that "haunted" bread isle. In fact, I might do just that...
Posted by Piggy



Don't say I didn't warn ya! *disappears in a cloud of smoke*



Silly old fool...
Posted by Piggy



He'll be sorry.



Was the guy in 1408 sorry? No.
