Jack Red reviews Digimon

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I must come right out to say this that I'm only reviewing the first three seasons of Digimon.

Digimon was a rip off of Pokemon I know please don't comment on that it is a known fact ever since this show first aired in Japan.

I found out that there's two more seasons of Digimon after I kinda moved on from Fox to watch something else.

I will review them by naming each one a series name to avoid any confusion for you the readers out there.

I want to say before I start reviewing it that I haven't seen either season in a long time so please don't mine me.

Digimon Adventure was a good series I found out that was originally going to be shorter but due to it's popularity they made it bigger.

Here is another true fact about Digimon that does piss off Pokemon fans if you give people into anime a choice between the two they would pick Digimon.

I bet some of you are wondering why that is well Digimon has a cool concept as Pokemon it's a bunch of people going around capturing Pokemons.

I like that everyone has their own Digimon that talks with multiple transformation as for Pokemon most of them can't talk.

It is also true that Pokemon can't change back once they transformed which is okay I guess but Digimon sure made that look stupid.

It's a fact that Digimon look more awesome though Pokemon does win in naming as well as it's way overrated games.

It's about a bunch of kids that found out about the Digiworld to end up saving it from The Dark Masters.

It's a good season that I think some fans of anime must at least try to watch this hell I suppose anyone who don't like Pokemon.

Digimon Adventure 02 was also a good anime that I really got into as a kid in fact I still think a lot about this season.

This one was about new kids found out about Digiworld with some of the old ones coming back to help them when they can.

They end up facing The Digimon Emperor who later becomes normal to fight an old foe that has been defeated before.

It's time for the last season I remember from my child hood Digimon Tamers now this was in my opinion the last good one they did.

I said that before the following two seasons barely connects with the first three that piss a lot of people off at the moment.

My reason why I didn't see them was simply because I didn't know of them at the time but I'm not sure if I will look into them or not.

This one introduces new kids with the ones from the last two seasons trying to help as much as they possible can.

Their final enemy was a computer virus that was a blob now it took so many episodes for them to actually defeat this thing.

I got to say that I love Digimon even to this day as one of my favorite series of all time however I'm not sure what's going on with it lately.

Pokemon just needs to stop making episodes it has over six hundred episodes do you think that is a enough.

Digimon at least was more interest as a rip off can get without being a totally knock off such as Naruto another series I don't like to Dragon Ball Z.

I support Digimon over Pokemon anyday I don't care how many of you Pokemon fans get pissed off you all suck there I said it.

So I'm Jack Red I will see you later.

Jack Red reviews Dragon Ball GT

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I hope some of you are aware that I am about to explain how terrible Dragon Ball GT ever.

This was the single worst anime I have ever seen it also takes the cake for the most disappointing follow up to a good anime in history.

I was into the first two animes loving every minute of it then at the time in School where a lot of people were just getting into Yu-Gi-Oh.

I remember seeing in a few magazines for Dragon Ball Z just finding out about this follow up where I thought it was going to be awesome right.

It turns out to be a big slap against the fucking face it's so bad that I know nearly two hand full of people that hate this.

I bet a lot of you readers are wondering how bad are we talking here well it's going to be one of the longest reviews I ever make because I got a ton of bad things to say on it.

Dragon Ball GT was an anime sequel to Dragon Ball Z that means it isn't canonical to the manga at all since the first two animes were based on it.

Toei was clearly the one to blame here because they wanted to expand the universe of Dragon Ball as far as they can go.

It's one thing that most Dragon Ball Z movies aren't canonical but at least most of them are entertaining to watch.

They usually have a group of Saga to be one seasons which the first two had a ton of them however GT was so small that they put two Sagas together to make a season.

I want to explain how mess up this is okay basically Dragon Ball had 153 episodes within 5 seasons while Dragon Ball Z has 291 episodes within 9 seasons.

This show was all new with so little input from the author that it ruin how well respected it was even when it aired in Japan.

Dragon Ball GT had 64 episodes within 2 seasons that right there tells you that this show did really bad even some fans don't consider it canonical.

In fact I believe it's still a debate on if Dragon Ball GT is canonical or not I say it sure isn't they made so many plot holes that it makes no fucking sense.

I just need to bring up the movies again real fast they made a few plot holes in most of them while only Dead Zone can be consider canoncial.

That's because it took place right after Dragon Ball but before Dragon Ball Z which was a good idea at the time.

I hate how they made Trunks's hair a darker blue well it's a light blue in the anime of Dragon Ball Z compared to the manga where it's a darker blue.

It's funny becase this happen to his mother as well however she kept light blue through out all three of them with one Dragon Ball with a darker blue.

Goten was a fun kid to watch similar to Goku when he was a kid however here he got grown up right he never gets off his cell phone.

He even has a really stupid but hot girl friend that you would think she already knows what a Burger is but nope.

One of the worst character designs have to be Vegeta they fucked him up really bad such as his height was wrong.

It is a known fact for a Saiyan can go without any kind of facial hair which Vegeta never had until this anime.

I know what some of you fans are thinking yes King Vegeta, Paragus and some saiyans did have at least either a beard or mustache.

I also didn't like how they change his hair style from what we love back from Dragon Ball Z to this what the fuck Toei Animation please tell me.

I know Hideo Kojima did say the samething about the NES version of Metal Gear I can see why he got so pissed about it.

I actually heard both the American and Japanese theme for this show I only got one question why did we get a Rap theme song.

It's usually the first two animes had rock theme songs for both versions however here the Japanese theme song was so much better.

That's mainly because they used a better opening with a good song that I won't mine hearing again as long no one tries to get to listen to the American theme I'm fine.

I want to point out that show sucks monkey dick that it would take an anime made with everything weaker than this.

The first saga of this anime is called Black Star Dragonballs Saga AKA The Lost Episodes since it didn't air on Toonami until they aired the rest of the series.

Who in the right mind would do that well it turns out the reason behind it was the original audience in Japan really didn't like it.

So they felt we shouldn't show it in America then soon after the last episode they did making them the lost episodes are you kidding me.

Do you want to know how bad this Saga actually is ok here we go let's start by saying they never made a style for the show.

That's right they ripped off Dragon Ball for the first Saga then after that the remaining ones got Dragon Ball Z instead after how pissed the audience in Japan were.

Can you fucking believe they actually did that why can't they just make up a style that fit both of them together ripping them off like this.

Oh when did they ever say there were Black Star Dragon Balls exist at all in the series at all I still say this was the worst idea they could come up with.

Emperor Pilaf came back which by canonical means he can't decide to steal these Dragon Balls then by accident wished Goku to be a kid again.

I remember how pissed I was about this it's fucking retard that I kinda like watching Super Mario Bros.: The Movie over this shit.

I did say this rip off Dragon Ball well here's what they do until at some point in the next Saga that I want bring up eventually in my review.

The rules of these Dragon Balls are fucking ridilous yet I did like Black Star Shenron since he's the darkside of the one we fans know today.

The biggest different between the two is this one bigger with darker skin color with a wish you could kill rather than save like the good Shenron.

It's time to talk about the dumbest rules I have ever heard in my life basically there's different with their Dragon Balls as well.

The good Shenron's Dragon Balls do one wish unless you waited long enough getting an extra wish then after they are using they turned to stone for a year.

Of course before they turn into stone they get thrown across Earth unlike the evil ones where they get thrown all over Space.

I want to note that Namekians have their own Dragon Balls about the size of Basket Balls rather than theirs being the size of Base Balls.

They have their own eternal dragon known as Porunga he's really big that you would think Shenron would be small though that should be up to debate.

These Black Star Dragon Balls have to be returned to Earth before it explodes in a year now why do something this stupid guys.

I remember watching the three main Tenchi animes also on Toonami watching them all the way though I later found out.

Tenchi Muyo! was a OVA that only aired the first two series on there then finally ended it with the help of Funanimation which is a good company.

I rather watch Tenchi in Tokyo that was also on my list of Top 10 Worst Animes on YouTube than to ever look at this anime again I'm dead fucking serious.

Let's get back to Dragon Ball GT AKA Pure Trash Balls if you asked me when I first saw this show.

Dr. Myu who they combine Dr Gero from Dragon Ball Z with Dr. Raichi whose from the first OVA for the series gets involve with our heroes.

They reused stuff that been done before in the anime as well as this OVA and the movies it's fucking ridilous why did they do this.

It's one thing that they did that to the movies but at least they were able to do something useful with it.

They decide to take another thing from that OVA where Baby was the master mind behind this with Dr. Myu being thought of creating him though it's the other way around.

It's time to talk about Baby Saga another one I don't give a fuck about at all it's not even entertaining to watch.

Baby sneak his way onto Earth to rip off Garlic Jr's plan from Dragon Ball Z Saga where everyone now serves him.

To make things even worst this guy does directly take over people especially Vegeta where he change his body to look as his own.

This kinda mirrors when Vegeta first came to Earth fighting Goku as well as being Majin Vegeta later in the anime.

I say this because Vegeta's body does became a Golden Great Ape which is like a Super Saiyan version of a Great Ape.

I also say this because at first controlling Vegeta took a while that you notice he was changing that nearly mirrors someone took control from him.

I want to clearify that Babidi did gave Vegeta more power however he didn't actually control Vegeta at all.

I did notice that Baby was ripping off Majin Buu oh come on guys you already rip him off twice with the last two movies please don't do another one.

I want to explain this real quick before I go more in detail about Dragon Ball GT hopefully getting you to understand how upset I was this.

Fusion Reborn they did rip off Majin Buu with Janempa that later transform into Janemba that was fucking awesome.

Wrath of the Dragon once again they rip him off however this time it was by Hirdegarn a giant magical being made by a race of these Wizards.

If you are a fan of the manga then you know there's mainly three Super Saiyan forms that they all can become in time.

I'm sadly to tell you that Toei made a fourth form where only full blooded Saiyans such as Goku and Vegeta can become.

This transform happens very different from the rest you see most of them are from emotions getting out of control.

I got to say this was a good concept with some issues with it they need to turn a Golden Great Ape then turn transform into a Super Saiyan 4.

Oh my fucking god what happen there is fur all over their body that you can tell was indeed red with red eyeliner.

When they get in this form what happen to their shirt in fact besides the first time why don't we see them transform instead of off screen transformation.

I really want to criticize Dragon Ball GT for ripping off Frieza's move Death Ball as well as his personality oh thanks guys that piss me off to no end.

Soon after Baby's death that actually mirrors both Cooler's first and Broly's second defeat though Cooler did live after that.


He's one lucky bastard I want to point out that he did make a non canonical cameo in a part of our next Saga.

Super 17 Saga oh my fucking god they didn't stop ripping off their own work that sadly this one takes it to a new level I'm not kidding.

It rip offs Androids Saga because Dr. Gero just came back with his new friend Dr. Myu what the hell man.

They work on the original 17 making him an Android again or so we think it seems to me that only his memory was erased.

I got a question how the fuck was his memory got erased they never tell you in the anime how they were able to.

The beginning part of this Saga was clearly ripping off Fusion Reborn because every villain that you could name was back to only be killed again.

I hate how bad they fucked up the following rule that really makes the fans question where does this anime fit canonically.

If you go to Hell in this one you do become an immortal with no halo that makes no sense because in Dragon Ball Z they did have halos with no body.

That means a strong blow to the gut will knock them out for awhile now they never brought up if you die after you are dead you that's it.

I am basically saying is similar to Spawn if you die again then you won't be able to come back or even won't be able to exist anymore.

The title of this Saga along with another 17 combining with the original 17 becoming Super 17 is ripping off Super Android 13!.

It makes no sense why Android 19 came back because if you seen Androids Saga in Dragon Ball Z then you know that he was never human.

It's cool that same guy who voice 17 also did 13 as well as Hiei from YuYu Hakusho now I bet that got some of your attention.

Super 17 was suppose to be the ultimate android which in turns would be ripping off Cell who he did meet to get absorbed.

I mean this because Cell did absorb eneregy with some of these moves that aren't originally in his development.

Super 17 also rips off Dr. Gero with Android 19 since he does have a red thing on both his hands however he doesn't need to directly hit the energy with them.

You won't believe this even if I told you he can absorb energy through any part of his body now how the fuck is that possible.

Android 18 was still Android in this anime which makes no sense because there was a wish to bring everyone back alive around the time of the darkside of Buu's death.

That means she was human all the way through making her eneregy very absorbable by her brother however here her energy can't what the fuck.

Super 17's death was once again a rip off but this one was different because they reused the way how King Piccolo was killed by Goku.

My last thoughts on this Saga would be Super 17 also rip off Frieza's Death Ball though I been told that they officially rename the move well thank god for that.

Shadow Dragon Saga was the fourth and final Saga introduced in this shit fest of a good name it makes you wonder how much worst can this get.

Oh you bet your ass it is that it's time to turn up the dial because this one piss so many people off for numerous reasons that I'm going to try to name them all.


You are not going to believe this due to all those villains escaping Hell the Dragon Balls got too much negative energy that cause our Shenron.

To be replaced by Black Smoke Shenron that's it a second evil Shenron was introduce that turns out to be even more evil than the Black Star one.

How evil are we talking here well this fucker decides to split up into seven dragons to start officially the end of the world.

You could also say it's the end of the North Galaxy well it don't matter that much what does though is how ridiously a lot of these dragons were.

All of them except Syn Shenron are made from wishes from the first two animes however Syn was made from all that negative energy.

They're all a rip off of Majin Buu if you think about it because they're all magical beings that the Z Fighters must defeat.

Syn Shenron was rude to get involve with a fight between Goku and Nova Shenron because he knew Goku was going to get to him eventually.

Syn did combine with the other six becoming Omega Shenron that barely looks different that besides being bigger his now has each Dragon Ball on his chest.

Vegeta found a way to transform into a Super Saiyan 4 skipping Super Saiyan 3 now how the fuck is that possible.

They decide to do the fusion to become Gogeta that never happen before in the anime that my next point will take a while to explain.

In Dragon Ball Z with these ear rings that works by one of them puts one on the left ear as the other puts his or hers on the right ear.

This will cause the two to combine into each other to become one being permantly however thanks for being inside Majin Buu it effects weared off.

Fusion Reborn did feature a Super Saiyan Gogeta that beat the hell out of Jameba for his dear life.

They used the fusion techique that seems awkward because how you do it with someone else with a few minutes to do what you need to get done.

I want to talk about what Vegeta looks like as a Super Saiyan 4 before talking about what Gogeta looks like with that form.

He actually looks pretty bad ass with his gloves looking very different with his fur being darker than Goku's.

It became known that once in this form a Saiyan's true eyes appears that's right it's like the Vampires from Interview with The Vampire.

Gogeta's fur however wasn't red or yellow like me with some of my friends thought that's how it suppose to be.

Instead we got a brown fur with red hair what the fuck that is just fucking stupid to the point that I would rather jump off a bridge then to look at that.

I hate to say this because for one moment they were stronger than Omega Shenron then time ran out on them.

I really feel I need to bring up some really strong villains that deserves to be brought up since that dragon was called the strongest.

In a sense Broly, Hatchiyaku from the first OVA and Omega Shenron aren't canonical yet extremely powerful villains indeed.

Omega got destroyed very similar to Kid Buu with a Spirit Bomb so big that I believe no other villains would ever do anything else evil ever again.

They actually have a nerve by leaving in a gasp where you need to watch the TV special in order to understand what happen here.

I want to let you all know that Dragon Ball got four movies with Dragon Ball Z got thirteen movies with two TV specials and two OVAs.

This TV special was the closest thing on being a movie for god awtiful anime though I felt if there was a movie for Tenchi in Tokyo that would be so much better than this shit.

They were nice enough to make sure this closed out the series to make they can't continue after it though Dragon Ball Kai a remake of Dragon Ball Z is being made in Japan right now.

In conclusion this anime piss me off to no end I even heard some people that worked on it say it's bad.

I wish we never gotten such a fucking horrible follow up to a great anime that most fans don't even give a shit about this at all.

I want people out there to show much you hate this anime by making front of it as much as possible hoping it will get some people to include it in YouPoops.

So I'm Jack Red remember don't watch fucking horrible animes stay with the good shit I will talk to all of you later.

Jack Red reviews 3 in 1 Birthday Special

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I decide to finally make this entry by reviewing not only but three things today for your entertainment.

I want to review 2012 first since this movie was really one of my favorite movies I have ever seen though I did miss the first few minutes.

I went to the movies on Birthday with my dad and Big C just like I said before in my last post.

I haven't seen Danny Glover in a new movie for awhile now to finally see he got a good role this time around.

2012 is a disaster movie that could happen one day that I'm sure I won't see in my life time that's more extreme than other movies such as The Day After Tomorrow.

I'm surprised that this movie is as long as The Dark Knight another personal favorite of mine because when I first heard of this movie I didn't know what to expect.

I love how they had scenes that were funny to entertain people from getting too scared watching such an awesome movie.

Woody Harrelson was in this movie until his character died now I mainly remember him from the movie Kingpin.

I got to say this movie could be hard to watch but if you are able to I'm sure you're going to love it as much as I do.

I guess my only complaint with the movie would have to be what actually cause this to happen I was confused through it wondering what was the cause.

I recommend this movie to anyone who likes these kind of movies now let's move onto a good TV Movie.

Turtles Forever is a crossover between the 1987 and 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trying to stop Utrom Shredder.

I want to state this right now I'm more for the original cartoon because I have got a lot into it though I wished I could see more of it as a kid.

I love the movies except III that was totally trash I can't believe they made such a horrible movie.

I did some research the original cartoon lasted 1987 to 1996 that's ten years it's been on TV can you think how popular it was back in the day I know I can.

I got to be honest I wasn't too much into the newer one that lasted 2003 to 2009 which is seven seasons but I did enjoy the fight scenes.

This marked the first thing in the franchise where the usual four turtles count goes up to twelve so you must be wondering what other version is there to help.

The comic turtles that's right this movie appeals to every turtles as much as the new Ghostbusters game appeals to all of their fans.

Utrom Shredder thought with his nearly indestructible suit that he could survive the end of TMNT multi universe.

I was happy to see the turtles I grew up with along with Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady did put a smile on my face.

I can't believe they gave us a new Tokka and Rahzar for this movie since their original counterparts came from the second movie.

I know one big complaint I can say that a lot of you fans can agree with me on is where the hell are the original voice actors for 1987 turtles.

I guess my other complaint would be how they made 1987 turtles look really stupid as if they're on the show Jackass well maybe not that stupid but still pretty dumb I guess.

I love this movie sadly it's the only movie for 2003 turtles though I just found this one that I must say my thoughts on.

I just remember the 2003 show had the creators helping with the show compared to the original cartoon which they didn't.

Nickelodeon just brought the rights to make a new show with their own movie this means the 2003 show has been canceled.

I give this movie two thumbs since it had some issues but not enough to make me hate the movie so I thank these guys for making the movie.

It's time to do my last review for this entry Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles on Wii.

I been a long time fan of Resident Evil for a long time though I kinda like Sweet Home game I wish I could see the movie.

I do like George A. Romero Zombie Movies more than any other take on them you can possibly name.

I guess I will start by saying I was lucky to get this game on my birthday with not too long ago the secret chapter and Tofu Mode.

This is a sequel to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles on the same console man this is how you make a game me and my friend Raven love it.

I did some more research it turns out Gun Survivor Series did use light guns which includes three Resident Evil games with one from Dino Crisis.

My point is both Chronicles games to me is like a spiritual successor to that series because it is a first person shooter action with a light gun.

Light gun for people that don't know is mainly seen in Arcades but on consoles they're not as appealing but Wii did make use of them their own way.

Wii Zapper a spiritual successor to NES Zapper is a good example however I prefer Wii Perfect Shot since it has been proven to be better to have.

They made it easier to shoot in this one that made it a pretty easy game for me to beat in one night.

I love the story in this game as in a way it's different from the original Chronicles game where you do a level of Operation: Javier.

Not too long Leon tells Krauser the events of Resident Evil 2 which means for you it's time to relive the events of that game.

I will spoil this before I start talking about my favorite scenario in the entire game that the development of this was before Degeneration.

This cause them to rule out any connections to that movie as well as Resident Evil 5 which is a good game.

Resident Evil 2 scenarios all take place in between the four scenarios from the game meaning you actually get to fight every boss from that game.

I fucking love it that I don't mean replaying it everytime I play the game it's that fun oh there is a level you must beat William in three forms holy shit.

After you beat the final part of this scenario you do another level for Operation: Javier that takes two years before Resident Evil 4.

Soon after you now have to play through Code: Veronica which was a okay game but to me it was better than 3: Nemesis that was a rushed out sequel.

I'm going to be honest I do like playing this one however the last Alexia form has to be the most annoying boss of this series alone I got really pissed.

If you played Resident Evil Code: Veronica then you know when she gets into that form you must use a Linear Launcher in order to beat her.

I know what a lot of you are thinking how could she be this tough well she's too fast for one thing with the right timing this fight will be over.

I believe now you have to complete the rest of Operation: Javier it's pretty fun to however the sub scenarios were really cut down this time around.

In The Umbrella Chronicles you had a ton of them that Wesker is in most of them but here you replay the same two levels with it being harder as well as Krasuer's thoughts.

I want to say this you get three endings in total that was a cool idea here how this works so you may see them for yourself.

1. Beat Operation: Javier 5
2. Beat Operation: Javier 5 under ten minutes
3. Beat Operation: Javier 7

I should have said that they extend all those cut scenes though it may be confusing for some to see the differences between them.

I do have one big complaint against the game why are there so many changes done now I do see some of these was done to make it more fun which is fine.

I'm sure some fans will dislike that a lot though they sure did make this a good game well in my opinion better than the previous game.

I like that you get alternate outfits that you can't get in the original at all besides what they wear in the scenarios that's it.

The gold can be found through the level with more gold given to you at the end that is so much easier than those fucking stars in the last one don't you think.

I do like the weapons in both games so this one is a tough one but I guess to be fair I'm going to leave it a dare since it's hard to pick between what they have altogether sorry guys.

I have played this Tofu Mode that is a homage to The Tofu Survivor as it's this game's mini game similar to the bonus stage in the first Chronicles game.

I hate this so much you can't pause, change out, pick a character or find health items at all in fact there's no check points at all either.

I believe it's the first level of Resident Evil 2 Scenario done backwards with Tofu Zombies that's right you fight them by yourself.

I got to say this as an unlockable in the first one you can play the scenario with one character for two players however you can't do it as well as the secret chapter.

I want to say they made it easier to find the files because once you found the file you should have it therefore won't reappear ever again.

You couldn't do that in the first one because you keep finding the same files which add up to some confusion.

They even put into something like getting achievements on X360 yes I am not kidding that makes the game even more interesting to play.

You unlock character models as well as enemies at anytime however some women will get upset with every female characters.

My complaint against this game would be the following as I list them down below...

1. Why the fuck is Wesker's eyes blue instead of red
2. Why aren't there more sub scenarios
3. Where the hell is the Gold Luggers
4. Why some of these change in setting happen

So I give this game two thumbs as I prefer this over The Umbrella Chronicles on any day of the week.

I hope you enjoy my review I will see all of you later good bye everyone.

Jack Red presents Birthday Special

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, Yesterday was my birthday I just turned twenty years old.

Before my birthday we had to move my Nephew's bed out for a new one I got to say I like it a lot.

I also had my friend Big C come over to spend a night as well spend most of the day with me and my family.

I had a good day that I been thinking for this entry that I will try my best to explain how awesome it is.

I woke up waiting for Turtles Forever to come on since it's the only day in the year I don't do chores.

I grew up loving these turtles ever since child hood that once I saw the turtles I grew up with I got really happy.

It's basically an awesome crossover movie that most fans of the franchise must see because it does appeal to mainly the fans of the comics or both cartoons.

I went to the movies with Big C and my father to see 2012 which was my favorite disaster movie of all time after seeing it.

I believe it's after that my brother Eric with his girl friend Mindy decide to come over to spend a night with us.

My brother actually let me go buy a game I'm so lucky because I finally got my hands on Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.

I got to say I actually like this more than the original that was released on Wii two years ago it's that good.

Once we got back we had some time before Big C had to go home we decide to pick up Pizza Johns to take back with us.

We ended up eating Pizza and my birthday cake that an Ice Cream cake I got to say this was the best Saturday of this year.

Finally I played the hell out of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.

I want to conclude this by saying today I got a new bed that's so much better than my old one I'm glad to have such a great family.

I hope you the readers like to read how my birthday went I will see all of you later.

Jack Red presents Survivor vs. Big Brother

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I been into several reality shows for awhile now wondering if anyone has ever done this comparison before.

I called this Survivor vs. Big Brother aka Outside vs. Inside due to several changes these two have been competing each other for years now.

Survivor
A reality show about contestants competing as a tribe while being in the wild such as Africa and Australia.

I believe it's just about half way through when the two tribes merge where it goes from team to individual.

It currently has eighteenth seasons aired with an ninteenth season that's airing on TV right now.

Big Brother
A reality show about contenstants locked away in the house to compete.

I do know that most fans it airs more episodes on TV a week than Survivor does which is usually three of them.

It currently has eleventh seasons getting really for a new seasons that plans started shortly after season 11.

If there is one thing fans of both shows can agree it's that they sure play similar.

You need to be on the top of things in both of them in order to win or you will be going home faster than you say noooooo.

I don't know that much about either show so I'm going to make this my shortest blog entry yet that I prefer Survivor over Big Brother.

Survivor wins Reality...

Jack Red presents Old vs. New Celebrity Deathmatch

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I want to speak out about an old vs. new topic that I feel just about everyone would agree on.

Before I go into details about the topic I would like to dedicate this blog post to Len Maxwell the original voice of Nick Diamond.

I was a big fan of Celebrity Deathmatch ever since child hood I even had the bad game because I love this show so damn much.

I want to let my readers out there that never seen either version of it that it's basically celebrities fight to the death.

The original series went from 1998 to 2002 on MTV while the cast did include their voice in the game in 2003 with the possible exception of Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Then out of no where after being canceled it was announce that it was coming back with notable changes.

This revival series lasted from 2006-2007 on MTV 2 due to how terrible it was compared to the original that got many fans including myself.

So originally MTV had a studio that made the show shortly went out of business due to the show getting canceled.

Cuppa Coffee Studios decide to make the new version of Celebrity Deathmatch even going as far as adding more blood to each match.

I believe many people would be surprise to hear that Eric Fogel was involve with the original version but not the newer one.

The reason behind that was he wanted to work on Starveillance which has been considered a spiritual successor to this show.

So in his place are Jack Fletcher and Dave "Canadian" Thomas that brought their own creative style with the show.

I did get my idea for this topic from The Nostalgia Critic so please don't ask me because I just wanted my own take on something I love with something I hate.

I got to say this that I will try to not go over board talking about the newer version well anyway let's get it on.

Round 1: Main Characters
I thought this whole out just right I figured why not just include Nick Diamond and Johnny Gomez since they were the hosts.

Old Celebrity Deathmatch
I really like Nick and Johnny through the four seasons getting more entertaining by the minute that when it's on at times it's hard to not watch.

I mean Eric Fogel after all did make this show with two guys who had experience in doing commenting.

Johnny was usually on the work host that barely made any mistakes while Nick does screw up at times which can be funny at times.

You actually do see these guys do some fights that you can't believe it at all.

I remember Nick beating up that Alien like no tomorrow because you thought he wouldn't win against him then it happens holy shit.

I really want to bring this one up in this version you do get to see Nick's son Nicky who is a likable character as well.

New Celebrity Deathmatch
I was very disappoint with Nick and Johnny on this version for numerous reasons.

I will give these guys credit for not screwing up Johnny's personality since in my opinion was the closest they were to the original version then everybody else.

Nick Diamond does screw up a lot in this version too however they basically threw him out the window on how random he can be.

I mean what the fuck is he smoking that making him look like William Shatner in Family Guy.

I did notice that after looking at it both their hair was different from their original counterparts like for example it's not the wrong color as well as their eyes.

I believe this round needs to go to the original Celebrity Deathmatch because this version of them I really care about since they were always entertaining to watch.

Point goes to the old Celebrity Deathmatch... I'll allow it!

Round 2: Supporting Cast
I actually got a ton of them from the original show I will bring up however after many thoughts I decide to just talk about Mills Lane and their Interviewers.

My reasons for doing this was because no one on the new version had a similar role to Stone Cold on the original.

Old Celebrity Deathmatch
Mills Lane in the original was voiced by himself before getting a stroke in 2002 while they got someone else to do his voice.

I really did like watching the original Mills because he can entertaining to watch I mean he was a great character on the show.

He even got into his own match with Judge Judy I got to say I totally respect this man for a long time.

Sadly I hate the new version of him for good reasons that I will explain in a moment.

I didn't like they made his chin too big with his voice not even sounding like the real Mills Lane.

I can't even believe they tried making him do funny stuff as well however it was done better by the real man behind the voice.

I will mainly bring up Marv Albert who was their interviewer before getting replaced by Stacy Cornbred who died got replaced by Debbie Matenopoulos.

On the second Halloween episode the main event was in fact Stacy back from the grave against Debbie for the title of best CDM interviewer.

Each one had character that I can respect however I totally hate Tally Wong not for racist reasons.

New Celebrity Deathmatch
I hate how they tried mirroring her relationship with Johnny to Nick with Debbie who don't like each other.

I really need to bring this up why does she keep saying or else what you will bring back Stacy Cornbred.

She was a totally bitch I mean I thought she was a terrible interviewer even Marv was better than her.

Tally never really got a good interview in at all compared to the original interviewers that got their own fair share of them.

I will give this one to the original Celebrity Deathmatch.

Point goes to the old Celebrity Deathmatch.

Round 3: Matches
This is a very important round because I got a confession I really love the original Celebrity Deathmatch fights a hell lot more than the newer one.

Old Celebrity Deathmatch
I got to say even most of the matches played out like a death match with no special adaptation to them they were still entertaining to watch.

I do like when they start being creative by adding some cool shit to the matches such as The Dome of Devastation and three weapon diva matches each one being different.

I really want to throw this one I love The Matrix match it was Keanu Reeves against Brad Pitt that did get on the official Top 10 Matches of time.

That list was hosted by the real Jerry Springer now I have a good memory about the list though I do know after watching it once on TV that I seen all of them.

I got to say even to this day my favorite deathmatch fight of all time was Beavis vs. Butt Head because I was a fan of them too growing up.

That match alone was original just think two cartoon characters fighting to the death with the official voice of them.

I could name a ton of matches I love that I don't see how the newer Celebrity Deathmatch could compete with it.

I also want to say Marilyn Manson actually voiced himself on the show for the most being in three fights of his own winning them all.

In fact Marilyn Manson actually cameo in what is considered to be the greatest deathmatch fight of all time it's The Spice Girls against Hanson.

I do like their special episodes such as Halloween, Family Night, 4th of July, Salute to Laughter and Fandemonium.

I want to explain to my readers who don't know what Fandemonium is basically a episode where us fans can vote to see what matches do we want to see.

I am going to be honest I didn't know until it's too late for all four of their Fandemonium episodes however I still enjoy watching them.

I thought most of the fights were well thought out making you think it's real though it is not you got to love that director Eric Fogel.

New Celebrity Deathmatch
I am not going to lie most of these matches sucks I want to talk about a few of them that really piss me off.

You can tell how stupid they tried making the celebrities look especially the Masked Fighter who is in fact Michael Jackson who passed away not too long ago.

I think a even bigger problem with this version of Celebrity Deathmatch is most celebrities that fought on it has been on the old one fighting before.

They did bring in some new celebrities such as Chris Farley, Rob Schneider, Cris Angel, etc.

I was very upset to see a conjoined tag team match where two celebrities with a music background with a similar sounding name get cut in half then attached to each other.

I will confess that some matches did entertain however only a handful of them that I will get to in a minute.

I got to say comparing the blood in this version to the original I have to think it don't mine me thinking it is though that's what it suppose to be.

I can't even believe they did two rematches that happen in the older version such as Shaquille O'Neal against Kobe Bryant.

This rematch was the single worst rematch of the entire show in fact it's so disappointing that it top how disappointing Loch Ness Monster vs. Big Foot yeah no joke.

Another rematch they did was Jessica Simpson against Nick Lachey which if you remember the first time Nick with his friend were in a Gundam fighting Jessica who got beamed into a giant.

I also didn't like how they did Chris Farley against Horatio Sanz where since no one threw a punch since Farley died they kept using the Time Machine until someone finally did something.

I was very upset that the voice of Bender from Futurama voiced three celebrities that don't sound like them at all.

In other words they tried making this one more cartoon action than being realistic on some of the action like the old version.

They did do their own episode on Comedian vs. Comedian let me say that only one fight for me was worth bringing up that would be the one with Rodney Dangerfield.

Rodney was alive around the time of the old version where he faced Don Rickles now brought back from the Time Machine takes on Rob Schneider.

I will say this for the record that not many celebrities were done right however only a handful was accurate.

I really want to bring this one up they did do something similar to Fandemonium however the winning matches would appear in the following season rather than just a episode.

I got to say the stupidest match of the three matches from the polls was Ashlee Simpson against Her Old Nose I'm not making this up.

I want to give you an idea how this match went down when I heard this was a choice in the poll I did vote for it since I didn't like the other choice in that poll.

I originally thought it would play it like John Travolta against Nicolas Cage where their faces and asses were switched.

I was disappointed to see how they did it basically that old nose of her is now about a size of a head that can talk.

How fucking stupid do you have to be to do a match like this it makes no sense why can't they come up with a better match than this shit.

It's about to bring up the single best match of the new version Johnny Depp against Orlando Bloom who will not come back as William Turner in the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

I got no choice that isn't enough for me to change my decision.

Points goes to the old Celebrity Deathmatch.

Now it's finally here the big one, the single most important round of this comparison.

Round 4: Overall
I don't even need to throw down any facts about either version of the show because it's obvious that I'm going with the original Celebrity Deathmatch.

I mean this new version was pure garage that I would rather play the game than to watch season 5 and 6 ever again I'm dead serious.

I can't believe such an abomination actually exist well to me this is an insult to an entertaining show that is worth thinking about.

I got to say I was not happy with the newer one at all I wish it would've aired on TV.

Point goes to the old Celebrity Deathmatch.

So there you go my own take on comparing two things within the same franchise in this case a child hood favorite of mine Celebrity Deathmatch.

Jack Red presents Top 10 Best and Worst Games

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, today I got an announcement I decide to not go into the program to stay home with my family.

I want to make a honest list of the best as well as the worst games I have ever play to fit some serious nostalgia on my blog.

Let's start with the worst first because it was really tough to make a list on the best which some you shall see exactly how tough I am talking about.

10. Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
I grew up playing Mortal Kombat games which are good games however this one really fails to the point that I won't talk about it.

I have played worst such as Mortal Kombat: Special Forces but I want to make this list on games I have owned.

9. Life Line
I do a lot of games made by Konami but can you imagine how terrible a survival horror game be if you have to talk to the main character with perfect speech.

It piss me off because I had surgery on my tongue before they found out that I'm autistic which cause me to not talk well so in a way I'm offended by this game.

8. Bio Freaks
I do like fighting games ever since child hood but this one was amazingly disappointing I mean the sub boss is a clone of who ever you are playing.

The final boss is a bitch to beat I usually get a good character with a gun to keep firing at him as you have to stay out of the water or the Piranhas will eat at you.

I'm sorry to say this but there's no codes in the game worth talking about in fact no unlockables are in it at all why Midway oh god why.

7. Silent Hill 4: The Room
The black sheep of Silent Hill series originally this was going to be a spin off but turn into a main series game.

Who would ever thought that this would be a good concept for a Silent Hill if there is so much bullshit with it I'm not kidding I can go on and on about it.

In general this game doesn't even feel like Silent Hill games at all it feels out of place I can't believe they actually made it.

6. Independence Day
One of the worst movie games I have ever played in my life it's fucking horrible that to talk about this game would drive anyone insane.

The controls are horrible with the level designs flat out terrible that at times looking for something it won't be there when you turn back around now that's bullshit.

It's based on a good movie yet if you are unlucky enough to get this game please do yourself a favor please break your copy of it.

5. Warlock
Oh god here we go the single worst movie game I have owned this one really bad that it makes you hate the movies it's related to I'm dead serious.

It's really hard to beat that if you are lucky to sit through this garbage to show how tough of a gamer you are than I say there's no point in doing so there's other games out there.

4. Sonic the Hedgehog
I'm talking about the one on Xb0x 360 and PS3 not the Sega Genesis classic.

I been a big fan of Sonic for a long time I decide to put this god awtiful here are the worst Sonic game because I thought Sonic Spinball is slightly better than this.

There's glitches up the ass that if you play it then expect to die so many fucking times that it will bring out the hate you have for this game.

No one likes this game yet you can buy it online along with Very Hard Mode for three of four storylines why would Sega do that.

3. Twisted Metal III
I'm also a Twisted Metal fan I have played every game in the series however this game is just so bad that I can't believe there are people who actually like it.

The original team went on to make such classics as Rogue Trip and Critical Depth also release on the PlayStation.

There was a dispute between them and Sony which lead up to 989 Studios working on the franchise ruining it's great name.

I am not going to lie that Twisted Metal 4 the last game they made for the series was so much better though it lack some story with terrible characters.

This game has a terrible new engine that was improved for Twisted Metal 4 basically you will fall over really easily.

Every classic character has something wrong with them with all the endings being fucking horrible.

I do know Dave Jaffe from his blog I got to say his statement said on Twisted Metal: Head On Extra Twisted Edition is so true.

I can't believe 989 Studios that started Syphon Filter series did this I really don't like this game at all.

2. Shaq Fu
Oh my god this game is really bad like most can agree that no fighting game can be this bad.

Shaq should have decline to be a part of the game then the only thing people can criticize about him is his rapping.

The fighting is without question broken as hell like you know how people move when they are older well it's like that with monkeys attacking you.

You can't beat this game no matter how hard you try because if you do I'm sure you will be sent to a Asylum for the rest of your life I'm dead fucking serious.

The single worst Sega Genesis game ever made that is licensed I can't it actually exists on my favorite console of all time.

1. Superman 64
A very broken game in every sense of the word I mean no one at all likes this game it's still criticize today being the worst Superman game of all time.

When you get story in the game it goes away too fast making you to fail every time you see it now that is bullshit.

Do you want to know what puts the icing on the cake the fucking rings that's what you have to fly through them so god damn often that you feel like I need to play something else.

Guess what this game actually has multiplayer that rips off Star Fox 64 why would they do that it makes no sense at all.

The whole story blows with so much bullshit included that this was the worst game I have ever played that I owned.

Oh why me why did I have to own this piece of super shit I wish I could destroy all of cartridges but it can be downloaded online please stay away as far as you can from this abomination.

I'm really sorry this game is just so ass that I feel really shitty for even remembering do you know of a game that brings back bad memories like this.

Now it's time to start hitting the good stuff I do warn you that it's my list I know some of you won't agree or like it which is fine.

10. Marvel vs. Capcom 2
This game is awesome you get fifty six characters in total with a great combo system we got a true classic that everyone needs to play.

I do like the music in the game but hearing for it's port on X360 that you have play your own songs while playing it is pretty bad ass.

I also like looking at the levels as each one looks beautiful to look at every time you play the game I mean this has to be art without question.

It has minor flaws such as there's only one ending and the final boss Abyss compared to the last game's Onslaught much easier to beat besides having a third form.

9. Resident Evil 2
This is my all time favorite game in the series as I love how good the games are ever since I played the original a couple of years ago.

I like that you now get an unlimited ammo code however if you are playing N64 version you have more to use at any time.

You can play as both characters in both ways to see all four scenarios played out which was an awesome idea that no other game in the series can top.

Extreme Battle was a good mini game with The 4th Survivor which is a scenario that takes places in the main game where you play as Hunk.

As a taste of humor from Capcom they included The Tofu Survivor which is basically Hunk's Scenario with minor differences.

I really like the weapons you get through the game I got to say only a handful of games within the franchise comes close to it.

I'm surprised that you can play as Chris Redfield a character from the previous game in Extreme Battle now that's awesome.

I even love finding where you can shoot the camera now there's where the fun begins as you don't know where all of them are.

8. Silent Hill
I got to say it's hard to believe that there was a survival horror on PlayStation that was better than Resident Evil 2 called Silent Hill.

I use to like Silent Hill a lot now seeing where the series is going I'm not caring about it anymore.

I do like the first three games in the series however I will go on the record to say that Silent Hill 3 was okay with good stuff for you to play with.

It came down to Silent Hill 1 and 2 well I have played both games this was indeed a tough one to pick between.

After thinking about it I got to say I love the original slightly more than the second game because I fucking love how awesome it gets.

I do like Silent Hill movie a lot for being one of the greatest game movies of all time however this game was never officially ported to PC.

I believe this one gives you a lot more hidden weapons than the other games in the series such as Chainsaw with Rock Drill however you have to pick one of them unless you know the trick into getting them both.

I love the cut scenes now I am really enjoying watching them as much as 2 with a few from 3 I got to say this one was nearly perfect in every thing.

7. Twisted Metal: Black
Alright Twisted Metal freaks I want to show you how twisted I am by putting Twisted Metal: Black on my list.

I really love the cut scenes though Europe's version didn't include them due to how graph they are.

They really want this one to be dark enough to earn the title just think about one of the characters you have a few ideas what inspired their looks for example John Wayne Glady was one for Sweet Tooth.

The codes were easy to put in however without them you need to be good at the game in order to beat it.

I remember how long it took me to find out how to unlock the hidden characters I mean unless you got some info on you it will surprise you how to get them.

I also like Paint It Black by Rolling Stones as the theme to the game that shows you that it's really dark.

I actually hope they consider doing a sequel to the game because I know I'm not the only Twisted Metal freak to say that.

6. Super Mario Bros. 3
This was my favorite Mario game of all time I mean it has everything what else could you ask for.

You have interesting worlds to play through with good power ups you can use at any time in the game.

I am surprise that it's possible not doing the 1up tricks to get the maximum lives in the game however after Super Mario World they never did that again why Nintendo.

Most people you ask about NES today will bring this one up because it's so damn good I want people to know I really love this game.

It even makes a joke at the end relating to what Toad tells you every time you complete a world in Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.

Nintendo really did a awesome job making this game a hit that it deserves to be remember now there is a debate that some think Super Mario World is better I don't agree.

5. Duke Nukem 3D
I must include this game out of respect I really came to like Duke after playing it the first time I was like holy shit I love it.

I was surprise that only on PC you can play all three of it's expansions which are fun as hell to play.

It improved over Id's Doom on most of the needed spots that it's no wonder why Doom's popularity when down so fast.

They include a lot of reference to movies that I think some people will enjoy hearing them like I'll be back.

I love the level design enough to take some time exploring such a great game to where it can't be anymore.

Sadly today 3D Realms is still making Duke Nukem Forever I bet if it does get release it won't become the best FPS ever like they thought it would but still be a good game nevertheless.

4. Blood
Originally the team behind Duke Nukem 3D was going to make this however they sold the rights to Monolith in order to work on Shadow Warrior.

Blood can be describe to be a gothic Duke Nukem game which in a sense it is I love all of the horror movie references even one from Ghostbusters.

I have played both expansions of this classic I got to say I really like them a lot especially that comparing the two it's hard to say which one I actually like more.

What a classic it is however they rushed out Blood II: The Chosen with some features they said it would have ended up being put in it's expansion.

Sunstorm Interactive worked on Cryptic Passage also did two expansions for Duke Nukem 3D and one for Shadow Warrior.

Some people like myself consider Cryptic Passage to be episode six though I do see some are confuse about the expansions ok Plasma Pak was release after it with a episode taking place after the original game.

Please give this game a try I'm sure a lot of you are going to love it maybe as much as me and Raven do.

3. Fallout 3
I haven't played Interplay's games in the series but Bethesda did an amazing job on making this game I'm really addicted to it.

It's a spiritual successor to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion that brings a lot of my favorite genres in gaming together a way where they all are needed it's genius.

I love how well written the dialogues are with a great story all around the game it's worth your money to own.

To be honest I do plan on getting Broken Steel but I do own the other four expansions which I beat them all within the week.

I can't describe this game even more without saying Fallout 3 is a must have that people need to try I'm sure you are going to love it.

2. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
The best game to ever be released on PlayStation 3 which I do not like anymore.

This game really was made to be the best as it has references to the previous three games in the series a big proof of this with Beauty and The Beast Unit.

What a awesome story I got to say it's very hard to top how good that is I mean it feels like a movie while playing like a game when you have control back.

I'm surprise that it was suppose to end the series but the fans want more hell so do I please Konami keep making Metal Gear games.

1. Sonic the Hedgehog 2
I won't not a lot of you are going to be happy about this but why should you care if this is my list.

I'm pissed at 4chan for screwing Sonic out of Gamespot's All Time Greatest Game Hero but that's okay because I waited for them to start bringing in the votes to let a staff know about it.

It turns out that with all those hacked votes gone that Samus Aran actually won the match take that you son of a bitches.

I have always love Sonic the Hedgehog my parents got me into him ever since I knew what games to play on my own.

I have played a ton of Sonic games but I really love playing Sonic 2 why because it's better than any other game in the series plus it sold more than even the original.

We are talking about my all time favorite game of all time that will be remembered for years to come I thank all of you for reading I might make more posts on my blog.

Jack Red reviews D series

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I will let you know that I haven't played either D or Enemy Zero but when I was playing Sega Dreamcast I did own D2 which is a good game.

D was a interactive movie survival horror game a concept unseen by many is a idea that broke new grounds as it's success help the company Warp out big time even the creator of the series Kenji Eno started living big after it's release.

The story behind what was rated T for Teen was actually M for Mature game your father snaps ending up killing people you are his daughter Laura you job is to find out why this happen.

I give this man credit because he really thought outside the box like Shinji Mikami for Resident Evil or Akira Yamaoka the only remaining member of the original team for Silent Hill did.

I have seen a review by The Happy Video Game Nerd he will take you everything you need to know about the game except how to beat it now that's up to you.

I did see a playthrough of D I got to say it's unique without question a good survival horror game that was different from the rest like Sweet Home a survival horror RPG that inspired a personal favorite franchise of mine Resident Evil was.

Not a lot of people who played the game know that there's a special edition of the game made by Eno himself he added two more discs the first out of these tells you the story if you didn't understand what it was in the game itself while the other was his personal soundtrack of the game now that's awesome.

Enemy Zero had a unique concept as well though Resident Evil remake on Game Cube did have Invisible Enemy mode which was tough just not as tough as this game by many this was Warp's toughest game ever made I'm dead serious even a interview with Eno proves it.

This game was heavily inspired by Alien which is one thing I do like about the game though it's story isn't a direct copy off of it.

You once again are Laura as you must kill the invisible alien in order to survive to do this you must find a weapon that will kill it however be warn that it's out there waiting to kill you.

Though it comes with four disc I research that the opening is on disc 4 that's it so the entire game is disc 1 through 3 though it's longer than D that can be completed in an hour and half.

I kinda like the game because I like the concept as well as they really made you feel scared playing it since you need to use your ears to know where the alien is or it's game over.

Finally we get to the last game in the series D2 I got to say I like this one the most because they made it the best of the series everyway they can it even sold better than the last two titles.

You play with multiple game play types that you got to play this without questioning how good is it to other popular survival horror franchises.

You once again are Laura you must find a girl that was on the plane becareful as now people from the crash have become strange monsters that look like the movie The Thing I'm not kidding they really wanted this to be the scariest game of the series I personally believe it is.

This was also a four disc game with the opening being on disc 4 however you need all four disc to complete the game that's right they really worked hard making this a hit since it was the last game made by Warp.

I want to point out that each game with the characters such as Laura and Kim are played by the same actors while keeping the first name everything else about the characters is changed.

I love D2 it's shows how survival horror should be another great concept from Eno I wish I can meet him in person I think he's awesome I wish he would continue the D series.

I'm Jack Red I hope you enjoy my review I'll see all of you later.

Jack Red reviews Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I recently got two new Xbox Live Arcade games that I did beat on the day I bought them.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 this was one of my favorite games of all time as you can play as fifty six characters in this port of Sega Dreamcast version that I gave to my friend Big C with other titles I had for a long time.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled this is a 3D remake of the classic arcade game that is inferior to another good game in the release on Sega Genesis called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist.

I do own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 Classic Arcade also on X360 which is a direct port man I love this game as it actually was the first good game of the series.

Sadly I already came across a problem with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled you see for awhile I knew they had to put the game on Xbox Live Arcade like many popular titles.

However instead of the original Arcade game or the very similar Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist we got this.

Before I go on what's wrong with this game I want to point out that Nintendo owns the rules to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time on SNES which is a port better than the original game that is considered to be the best game in the series.

Nintendo won't make a agreement with Microsoft to have this version ported to the X360 or Sony's PS3 for that matter.

How bad is this game just take a guess it's a fucking mess I'm not kidding it's time to hit the other problems that makes it possibly the worst game in the series for me since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters on NES, Sega Genesis and SNES.

My god let's talk about how the game plays if you are unlucky to play Sega Classics Collection which was fucking horrible then chances are you played the 3D remake of Golden Axe if you haven't then picture something like Fighting Force or Zombie's Revenge.

You do get difficulty levels in this game under story mode as well as survival and quickplay.

Survival is basically you go through the entire game with no continues as you have one life that can be a problem to get the achievement point since some bosses will take time to beat the right way such as Shredder.

The Sewer level in my opinion was the worst because if you played Turtles in Time, it's SNES port or The Hyperstone Heist then you know that the water itself is suppose to be blue not clear.

You have to watch out for spiked balls which is easy to watch out for however in this game you barely see them making them almost impossible to see them that's fucking bullshit whose idea was that it's like you force someone to eat shit for money then you laugh at them because they did it except there isn't any enjoy at all to be found here.

The multiplayer can be a little confusing at times like most of their games since the turtles do look like though we know who is who because of their bandannas and weapons.

I also noticed that they made added more texture to the levels with the possible exception of the Sewer level I thought most of them were okay to look at.

It follows the classic game quite well however good bye with the voice acting as well as the music because since 2003 we were given a new cartoon based on the turtles ever since then each game that comes out with given a part of that show.

That kinda happen with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1989 Classic Arcade except nothing from the show was added so we got the new movie look which was more fitting in my opinion since I kinda like the movie.

The controls are right I want them to be which is a good thing I can say about the game as a long time fan of the turtles since my child hood.

It's one thing to not have Bebop in The Hyperstone Heist but both he with Rocksteady aren't in this game what the hell if I remember correctly they were as they appeared in the original though in SNES port they were dressed like pirates.

Instead like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze which is one of my favorite movies they decide to replace them with Tokka and Rahzar it's funny they with the pair they replaced are in SNES port yet like that movie it's only these two mutant animal babies.

I have a big problem with this because I do like some of the bad guys they face in the cartoon as I love fighting against many of them however I would play the Arcade original to fight them then to play this shit ever again.

When you fight the bosses for the most part they are close to the original versions of them so I wasn't disappointed fighting any of them.

Though I'm not going to lie the original Arcade boss fight with Shredder was even harder than that because depending on how many people are playing there always one Shredder more waiting to fight though he has a one hit kill move, he will keep cloning himself until he is unable to.

Overall I am pissed that they made a 3D remake of it rather than taking the time to port it from the Arcade like they did with the first one why do you think so many people love it because they didn't fuck up anything that we love about the game.

Jack Red reviews Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I decide to review a game that I found out about during the Final Fantasy marathon when I asked many people what was the worst game in the series.

Most of them replied Final Fantasy Mystic Quest on SNES now I did give this game a chance however I just kept getting annoyed about how different it is from the rest of the series.

Before I played this game I believe it was either Final Fantasy X-2 or Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII that was the worst.

I was wrong, dead wrong this game was fucking horrible for numerous reasons though I do know there are some people out there that played this before any of them.

I usually don't review RPGs but a few days playing Final Fantasy Mystic Quest made me realized that I really need to review it.

Let me tell you why Square decide to make this game there was a time in North America that RPGs didn't caught much attention.

So they decide to make a game easy enough that any one can play it right well this didn't work for numerous that I am going to explain.

The first problem I notice I had with the game upon research was why did they release it right after Final Fantasy IV.

This was a bad decision because you got to figure at the time this genera didn't leave a mark in America's soil with some people are playing other Final Fantasy games.

I want to state that many people were getting into the genera with such titles as Dragon Quest, Shining in the Darkness, Phantasy Star 1 and 2.

As I said before not many people play RPGs at the time making it a rough yet silent experience to find someone else who played it.

The next problem I had with Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was you are given a certain path you need to follow in order to beat the game.

That is what I call stupid because even if some people actually play this game they would know that there are better games out there.

I do like the fact that there isn't any random encounters as they do get annoying which cause me to not play RPGs though they made your fighting menu so basic that you would have to be dumb not know how to use it.

They made it to where anyone can pick up the game to play however an experience player wouldn't like this very much due to there being more options rather than combining some together.

In any RPG you can walk around while fighting some enemies for experience to go where you can go however in this game they made it to where you can only in locations meaning no more looking for a city it's like we'll show you the way just make sure you don't die okay.

Fucking assholes that makes you feel like a kid that wants some candy then your parents told you no not right moment you would be upset right that's how I feel about this.

The character designs were okay it's the monsters that makes any true fan of Final Fantasy to stop playing.

I mean you would be thinking that you are playing a kid's game though in reality you aren't.

They made it to where if you revisit areas you can get as many potions, bombs or what ever you need in order to beat the game.

This surprisingly brings it all down because in your standard Final Fantasy game you can't do at all making you have to complete on with the story but of course you can buy things in shops.

Saving in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is unique because you can save it no matter where you are I was kinda happy with that in most RPGs you had to keep moving eventually you will come acrosss some save points.

They added endurance to the game by having several locations filled with random monsters which will help you level up.

The epic story isn't present this time around which is a problem I mean why can't they make the game seem more mature I bet more people would play it.

Overall I think it's a okay game for people new for the genera however I want everyone else who usually plays RPGs to not play this one.

I'm Jack Red I hope you enjoy my review I'll see all of you later.

Jack Red reviews Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, I decide to redo a review I did on YouTube on here as my last review I will ever do.

I'm going to review Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection as I found this to be the very collection game that Sega fans are going to love.

Before I start talking about the game itself I want to tell you the readers that I haven't played their last collection that was release on PS2 as well as PSP called Sega Genesis Collection due to tough decisions on what games to buy.

I'm glad I got that out of the way it's time to go nuts as a Sega freak tells you why you need to play this game.

There are forty Sega Genesis games with seven Arcade games and 2 Sega Master System games in total.

Wow Sega really went out of their way to make this their best collection yet critics are hitting Sonic as if he has rabies or was hyped up on sugar.

I personally love the Sega Genesis as that was my first console now I am familiar with what's better this or Nintendo Entertainment System which was a good console too.

I will hit each game in Alphabetical order so you know which ones I will be talking about during my review to prevent you getting loss.

Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
This game was okay in my opinion I didn't really like it as much as some of the games I grew up with however I do have to give it credit because this was the last game where Alex Kidd was Sega's mascot before Sonic the Hedgehog came around.

Alien Storm
One of the ports I have ever played as I personally enjoy playing beat em up games such as this one that I found to be a tough yet fun game to play however my problem with it was how hard it gets at the end I'm not kidding you need to mastered the game to be able to get past the final level.

Altered Beast
This was one of my child hood games I just love how much I got into it along with many other games in the genera as it was difficult to beat without dieing well to be honest the farthest I can get in the game with my default set of continues is level 4 where it gets really hard to survive.

Beyond Oasis
I'm going to be honest I'm not much for RPGs however this is an exception as it was a hack and slash with a good storyline however some puzzles will take you awhile to figure out.

Bonanza Bros.
Another good port to the Sega Genesis here is a true fact about my all time favorite console when it was release in America of 1989 which was the year I was born most original games available to play were ports.

Columns
Another game from my child hood I simply can't say how much I love this game as it still gets compared to Tetris which is okay in my book but this game only had one problem it never had a straight forward franchise like many of them you see either back in the day or today.

Comix Zone
I originally played this game in Sonic Mega Collection Plus an updated version that had some problems keeping it from being better than the original collection game on Game Cube well it's time for the problem it's difficulty is very high like for example when you need to beat barrels up it takes some of your health away.

Decap Attack
This game has quite a history behind it which also lead me to my problem with it as you didn't know at the time this game you were playing was originally Magical Hat Flying Turbo Adventure however it too was originally another game Psycho Fox on Sega Master System besides that it's a good child hood game of mine you will like.

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Similar to Decap Attack it was another game before it got release in America that game you are wondering is Puyo Puyo which is a classic now for the record my mother loves this game she even said this was her favorite game.

Dynamite Headdy
This game at first didn't get my interest until I started playing it wow this was a good game that will take some time learning what each power up will do plus how to use them.

ESWAT: City Under Siege
I want to say this right now the game isn't a port of the Arcade game in fact they have some similaries however how a completely different storyline that has some of the best music I ever heard on Sega Genesis in my life.

Ecco the Dolphin
I remember the time I briefly played this as a child I wasn't good at it in fact there are people out there who don't know how to officially start the game.

Ecco: The Tides of Time
In this sequel to Ecco the Dolphin you got to play through more levels with better graphics though I didn't know how to officially start this game either.

Fatal Labyrinth
I don't know why some people like this game because it was too easy to get the achievement in the game as it don't take skills to do it nope it takes the patience of beating the ever loving shit of your enemies repeatedly.

Flicky
I originally played this in Sonic Mega Collection it's a great port that is forty eight levels long that will challenge you at the end now here is an interesting fact for you this game became inspiration for the Sonic team to make flickies in the Sonic series yeah I'm not kidding.

Gain Ground
I kinda like this game because it makes you think which character is the most helpful in the game no one has a clear answer to this question which surprise me however it will get hard as you go on making this a okay game though there are a couple of games on the console I would rather play than this.

Golden Axe
I had this in 6-Pak cartridge my god I fucking love Golden Axe one of the greatest beat em up series of all time in fact I think it was awhile before I got this collection game that I bought the Arcade version of it though that version wasn't better than the one I grew up playing that had Duel mode which is fun to play.

Golden Axe II
Some complain that this is a rehash of the original however it was easier to beat with some great music as well as having Duel mode available again I got to say I like this game a lot as it was one from my child hood.

Golden Axe III
Here is a game that most fans of the series didn't know about unless you had the modem at the time you would find out many years later that there was a sequel to Golden Axe 2 now they retooled the game play making it harder than that of the original game with Gilius coming back as a unplayable character wow however they did make up for it by having new characters.

Kid Chameleon
This game has to be one of the few games on the console that no one knows how long the game actually is I'm not joking it's because once you enter the maze at the end you will continuously play through levels until you finally find the exit to fight the final boss that is annoying though it is a good game.

Phantasy Star II
A classic for RPG fans out there I seen a whole run done on this game I was surprise that there's only four bosses in the entire game however I love the music as well as the story presented in this game.

Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom
The black sheep of Phantasy Star series mainly the original one because it looks like a Final Fantasy game rather than what the series usually looks like that includes space with fantasy anyway I'm blown away that there's three groups of characters you must play as in the entire game amazing.

Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium
I remember looking at the bosses for this game I just don't believe there are so many that it's no wonder why they made this the final game in the classic series with each game is getting bigger this one has to be up there for being one of the best Sega Genesis games of all time.

Ristar
The Sonic team made this game going through the same process with Sonic with Ristar it was a great game to have for your Sega Genesis however it will take you a few tries to beat the game which is fine as difficulty doesn't always means the game you are playing is going to suck right.

Shining Force
From what I heard this is a game that many fans of RPG are going to love because it has just about everything you need in a good game to keep you playing.

Shining Force II: Ancient Sealing
This is a sequel to Shining Force that maybe some people played that it can be agreed that the original was better by how much I don't know what I do know is it's a game you want in your collection.

Shining in the Darkness
The title can be misleading because this was the original game in the Shining series it's funny how that works well besides that from what I heard it's another game I think you might be to include in your collection especially if you love either RPGs or the console itself.

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
I have to agree with people this was the best game in the series as it has everything you would want in a Shinobi game now this is a sequel to Revenge of Shinobi that can't be include due to copyright infringement which sucks because that is a good game too.

Sonic & Knuckles
This was the fifth game in the main series though it was the fourth one to be apart of the overall story I love this game a lot as you can put in the previous Sonic games to play a new game that is a lot of fun a very original idea by Sega.

Sonic 3D Blast
Not a lot of people like this game though I do because some of this version's music went into Sonic Adventure with classic sound effects from the previous Sonic games release on the console I just have one big complaint when you try jumping on platforms in the air it can be a pain making sure you can jump across besides that it was a fun game to play.

Sonic Spinball
Oh my god I hated this game so bad it was annoying as hell trying to beat it without question the hardest Sonic game release on Sega Genesis though the game itself is four levels long well there is another thing about it that pisses me off what happen to the level select code now it's just a code with you holding two buttons which will take you to the other levels.

Sonic the Hedgehog
This was a good game I know how bad Sonic is doing by today's standard but at the time this game broke new grounds even my dad loves playing this game that right there should tell you a lot.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2
The most sold Sega game of all time I got to say this was a personal favorite as well due to how fun they made this game with it's multiplayer how can't you not like Sonic 2.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3
In my opinion this can be the shortest Sonic game on the console due to how easy it is with a save feature though it wasn't the first game in the series to have that feature some of you fans out there know what I am talking about release on Sega CD Sonic CD which was an awesome game.

Streets of Rage
I still felt this was the hardest out of the three Streets of Rage games release because you need some time getting use to it's controls though don't do that in multiplayer or you will have to fight more boss characters in the entire game plus this one includes a twist you can take the deal to go back a few levels with the difficulty increase or just fight Mr. X to beat the game.

Streets of Rage 2
What a great game without question the best game in the entire series it has good improvements over the original with some of the greatest music I ever heard for the console however I think the common complaint about the game is what happen to the original game's special that becomes useless in the final level now you have special moves that will take away some of your health.

Streets of Rage 3
This has so much story that they ended up having two endings with Axel always going to be there to make Mr. X pay however this time was going to be different because you got some new characters with some hidden ones such as Shiva who was introduced in the last game now here is a true fact on the level you face Shiva before that in the Japanese version you'll face Ash who is gay that you can play as oh my god that is the worst thing about the game.

Super Thunder Blade
It plays very similar to Space Harrier except it's really hard to play I got to say I didn't like this one at all I'm sorry to upset some people but at least I tried to like the game.

Vectorman
Another classic on Sega Genesis it's remembered to be one of the best games to be on the console I got to say I love how fun it was to play though it is a tough game to beat.

Vectorman 2
This one has more levels with fewer bosses however the story takes after the original making this a good follow up to a good game I got to say being on this planet fighting bugs is a shock though like the previous game it's going to be hard to beat so be on your guard.

Now I just finished giving brief reviews on all the games on Sega Genesis it's time to do the Arcade classics that some of them are remembered to this day being some of the greatest games you will ever play that is a fact.

Alien Syndrome
I didn't like this game much I thought Zombies Ate My Neighbors was better now I'm saying that because it isn't rescuing all the people that is the problem nope it's finishing a boss fight in a smaller time limit than you have rescuing all the people what the fuck that is some serious bullshit right there.

Altered Beast
This version came a year before the Sega Genesis version did as I love playing this version more because you get infinite lives with more action I got to say it's a good game by all means.

Congo Bongo
Sega's answer to Donkey Kong now there are some similaries between the two though I got to say it was a okay game to play.

Fantasy Zone
This game was fun until it starts getting annoying I didn't like this game very much it's on my list on games you shouldn't play in this collection I'm dead fucking serious.

Shinobi
The original Shinobi was a great game however my main problem with it is once you enter mission 5 no more extra lives what you go has to do at that point in the game now it is understandable why they did that because it's difficulty will be high until you played it enough times to know when each enemies is going to be.

Space Harrier
I love this game Space Harrier gives you infinite credits to play through the game with a lot of boss fights I will tell you that I don't find anything wrong with this game as it is a lot of fun to play I call it a solid classic for Sega fans around the world.

Zaxxon
Oh my boy I wasn't good at this game it was annoying as all hell I tried liking this game but I just can't god damn it they made it a challenge to beat it mainly due to how much gas you have left that's right you can run out of gas in the game just like the NES version of Ghostbusters it's fucking bullshit man I don't like that shit at all screw this game all the way to hell I don't give a fuck it can kiss my ass.

After finishing the Arcade games I will do the last two games you can get in the game now these were release on Sega Master System which was a competitor to Nintendo Entertainment System at the time.

Before I start reviewing them it's obvious how NES beat SMS it's because the developers could make better games on it though SMS did have better graphics as well as audio that won't matter as NES had way more games that people grew up playing that they love to this day.

I never owned a SMS in my life though I did own an NES like many people at the time I love some of the classics I got however I didn't have a lot of games for it.

I'm getting off track here let's start talking about two classic RPGs on Sega Master System that did get some attention to them.

Golden Axe Warrior
One of the best spin offs of Golden Axe series that was called a Zelda clone it's funny because there was another spin off release on Game Gear also called a Zelda clone now I know what you all must be knowing is it going to suck nope it was a great game from what I can see.

Phantasy Star
Believe it or not outside of the United States this game was release on Sega Genesis known in other countries as Sega Mega Drive however in America we only had it on SMS which eventually got ported to numerous consoles like really good RPGs such as Chrono Trigger anyway this had a lot of story with great character.

I did some research about some things I can find negative to say about this collection in general well it isn't going to be that bad like how The Angry Video Game Nerd reviews a game or The Nostalgia Critic reviews a movie so don't get carried away with it.

1. On the back of the case I notice some one mislabled Sonic 3 by calling it Sonic 2 what who the fuck did that I guess who ever it was needs to pay some attention to his work not the ladies.

2. The achievements were easy to get as it was even easier to unlock everything in the game itself so you would think some of these are going to be hard to find out they're easy wow that blows a lot of people's minds doesn't it.

3. In my research I found out three games that were in Sega Genesis Collection aren't here were are Sword of Vermilion which I did grow up with, Ecco Jr a game that made for kids to love this dolphin and Virtua Fighter 2 that brings up the question why they aren't in this game.

4. Though they did announce with none of the lock-on games are in this collection it would've been nice to have them well maybe next time guys.

I hope you enjoy my review on Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection I won't be coming back any time some due to important life decisions so until the day I come back this will be my last review I will see all of you later in life.

Jack Red reviews Zero Punctuation

Hi everyone this is Jack Red, today I decide to review an internet show that I didn't like too much for obvious reasons I am talking about Zero Punctuation.

Before I start criticizing a fellow YouTube star I want to bring up how his show came to be so let's go back in time to 2007.

Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw made two episodes called Zero Punctuation with the videos being the original episodes that don't appear on http://www.escapistmagazine.com/.

He does predates me a year before where Champzilla.com asked me to climb aboard another fellow YouTube actually predates him.

One of my idols in life James Rolfe who got famous as The Angry Video Game Nerd by uploading four episodes to the public as originally only he with his friends could see them so they convince him to show them in 2006.

The first two episodes date back to 2004 with the last two episodes being in 2006 people love watching them.

It's funny that James was contacted by Screwattack who is partners with Gametrailers to keep making episodes of his show followed by Yahtzee being contacted by The Escapist to start making more episodes.

Now I saw two different forums asking the same question who is better The Angry Video Game Nerd who got many rip offs such as The Happy Video Game Nerd, The Irate Noob, Grumpy Gamer Bitch, The Sega Nerd and myself against Yahtzee.

To my surprise he won both polls on them what the hell I just don't believe it especially I at the time was about half way caught up to him.

It's time to list every problem I have against him now for some of the following I must compare him to that of James Rolfe to help you a better idea what I am getting at with that being said let's get started.

1. The Concept
At first seeing how episode is random animation reviewing newer games though he speaks so fast that a lot of his points are genuinely missed.

In fact if you remember the movie Last Action Hero Jack's boss speaks fast as well except you can understand him more.

He aims a little more mature in theme than AVGN is as he will show his opinions all over the places showing tits off, a lot of shits and just being a smart ass.

Each episode is very short that you can upload them to YouTube or other websites without any problems rather than copyright infringement.

If you are familiar with AVGN then you know that his show is live action about him reviewing either one or several games as each one just gets shittier with more remembered characteristic.

Such as he drinks, his usual clothes and from time to time beat up a character from shitty games which doesn't happen often.

But in my opinion the most remembered thing he does is swear to the point you are what the fuck man just wow I'm dead serious.

The episodes he makes goes all over the places in terms of limit kinda like The Nostalgia Critic who did begin making his videos due to their new policies his account soon went down not before he got his own website.

2. Theme Song
Before it got to the Web Comics episode he used a different theme which was some of his favorite songs for both opening as well as closing now his main theme sounds a lot like that of Death Note.

The usual theme for AVGN is one of the most remembered theme songs on any show I have ever heard though for some episodes he has his own versions of popular songs such as The Terminator and Looney Tunes theme.

Besides the earlier episodes of Zero Punctuation not a episode since had an actual end theme to my knowledge.

It is true that AVGN sometimes uses the opening theme for his closing however at least it is more of a pleasure to listen to his theme than Yahtzee.

3. The Reviews
I already stated that he missed a lot of well made points on every single episode while reviewing games on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, etc.

Each review is only entertaining to watch that crazy animation which reminds of a video I found on Adam Sessler he actually made a point that I really agree with.

That point you are wondering is his reviews at times many people are going to disagree with him for example I hated his review on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Turok and Golden Axe which was a good game release on XBLA by Sega.

He actually reminds me of Simon Cowell on American Idol that is no joke if you would watch a video on both of them you can see how right I am.

His episodes are usually on just one game now comparing to some reviewers on the web that kinda sucks if you asked me.

Jame's point on bad retro games is usually on the topic that trying to actual some of the games he reviews you will know that he is right.

There is episodes he reviews just one games with the rest being on many games on topic how can you say Yahztee is better anyway.

If you seen a list of consoles James reviewed games on you would be shocked I'm not kidding he isn't holding back making his episodes.

I want to bring this well made point up before going into the next problem I have against Yahtzee who would be nick named that anyway it's better than being called Monopoly which is saying a lot.

4. Their success after getting their own show
Yahztee ended up becoming an editor for a gaming magazine with another show Extra Punctuation where he has more to say on some games.

Who in the right mind wants to do that I don't see anyone reviewing a game to end up making more to say about unless it is needed to help describe how bad a game can be such as Action 52.

James got contracted by Spike to do movie reviews which are usually short yet such a good description on each one he reviews.

He reviews a series of movies even doing other movies in a genera like Space Invaders which was a three part review.

5. Who is better Yahtzee or AVGN?
Yahtzee is a British guy living in Australia of all places which also cause a problem it would be a big spending of money to actually go meet him in place.

James lives in Pennslyvania originally from New Jersey now he is within driving range if I had directions to get to his house I would be very happy to meet him since he is one of my inspiration to this day.

In the end there can only be one I go with The Angry Video Game Nerd because he is the more likable guy compared to Yahtzee who isn't as his opinions on games sucks I'm sorry to piss a lot of his fans off however that is how I feel toward him.

I'm Jack Red I hope you enjoy my review on Zero Punctuation, for those who don't I don't really care if you got ape shit on me for not liking this guy you all can go to Hell I will see all of you later.
