My Favorite Game of All Time


it's hard to say which game is absolutely my favorite of all time; it's a close three-way race between Resident Evil 4, Final Fantasy 7 and the Metal Gear Solid saga but i believe RE4 slightly takes the cake.
To begin i love Resident Evil 4 (RE4) because the gameplay was revolutionary in terms of fluidity; the over the shoulder camera aspect was brilliant and was the first of its kind. if you notice, many other games took this camera angle into their own games such as Gears of War, Uncharted, Batman Arkham Asylum, and many other 3rd person games. RE4 was a roller coaster from beginning to end and offer a different challenge than its predecessors; instead of going with the survivor horror aspect it decided to lean more towards action horror. in the first few installments, ammo was hard to come by so it 'felt' like survival whereas in RE4, ammo was aplenty but survival felt more user friendly. it also allowed for weapon customization which allowed any gun in the game to be upgraded via money. specs such as reload speed, gun power, capacity or aiming speed could be altered to ensure better zombie killing. the pacing of the game was great and the boss battles were epic and allowed for tactics. the game was first released as a Gamecube exclusive but its success earned it a release on the PS2 and Wii later on.
However, the heat that i give on the game is the story-line; some people don't really care too much about story but i'm an avid fan. not saying the story was absent but it doesn't hold up to the awesome gameplay, visuals, sound and ambience of the game.

My First Experience with Flash

Was it hard to make your mini game? Somewhat difficult being my first time with any sort of Animation program; the coding aspect of the whole experience is something i need to practice with in order to better my spectrum of writing code
What was the best part of this topic? The idea that everything is written in code and that what i wrote and how i wrote the code affects the entire project. the best part is seeing for the first time actual parts/symbols mover
The worst part? The worst part to say the least is making 1 mistake and messing up the whole project; also, understanding the code and manipulating the symbols/characters is something that can get frustrating but it takes a lot of practice in order to master it
Do you play games in your free time? YES!!! that is my hobby that i do most of the time with my life; being able to develop and to play around with games allows me to finally understand all the small details that go with gaming
Which ones do you play and why are they your favorite? i play every genre of gaming except for MMORPG's; the reason for this is not the fact i do not like it, but rather it is because i have not yet given it a chance. i absolutely love Japanese RPG's!! The Final Fantasy series has always been a favorite of mine. i also enjoy great action/adventure games such as Prince of Persia, Ratchet and Clank, God of War series, DMC, Ninja Gaiden etc. I'm also an avid player of FPS only because of it's multi-player aspects.
