I was going to do a first impressions Monster Hunter Tri post today, but there was a huge announcement I just found out about today, a few little things from dothackers, and I would also like to recommend a cool webiste I found out about a few weeks ago.
Alright if you seriously don't already know what the big announcement was, then here it is, an actual teaser trailer for Marvel Vs Capcom 3, and no it is not April 1st and you are not about to get rickroll'd, this is seriously the real freakin deal:
I seriously can't wait til this game comes out and this trailer makes me so happy that they are confirming Morrigan already. Ok, based on the trailer we have 6 confirmed characters and those characters are:
Capcom
- Ryu (obviously)
- Morrigan (freakin awesome)
- Chris Redfield (if we had Jill in the previous game, why not Chris?)
Marvel (honestly I pretty much knew all three of these characters would be in the game, I mean come on who didn't see this coming from a mile away?)
- Wolverine
- The Hulk
- Iron Man
Alright now on to the .hack news, for those of you lucky bastards who live in Japan, .hack//LiVE will be on May 9th. I seriously wish I could go so badly however, sadly I live halfway across the globe so I can't... also this is kind of old news by now, but teaser pictures for something called ".hack//3rd Season" and "4th era" have been scanned from the art books that came with the special edition of .hack//Link in Japan, you can view these scans here and here. As to what these exactly are I have no clue, but you can read these full articles and more at dothackers.net.
And before I end this post I would like to mention a website called fiverr, where you can either do things like photoshop a picture or even draw a picture for somebody and get $5 for it, or you could pay somebody $5 to do things like that, I must admit that it took me a while with my mediocre talents to get my first sale, but I did make $5 off of something that took no less than 30 minutes.

Xbox 360 Elite Bundle (ODST & Forza 3) First Impressions
Ok to start off, this first impressions post will not include my thoughts on the ODST campaign mode, or anything on the Campain disk since I kind of have no plans to play it anytime soon. Once I get my gold membership I will play alot more of the mythic disk, but for now I will just play forge on it. Oh right, for those of you who have no idea what the mythic disk is, it's basically the multiplayer of Halo 3 with all of the maps (including my favorite, Sand Box). Anyway, since Costco and Sam's Club no longer carry systems besides the freakin DSi, I got mine at Best Buy, and yes I know Gamestop was giving out a $50 gift card for buying this bundle, but thanks to our Best Buy Rewards card, we got a $50 gift card for Best Buy when we bought the bundle, so we would have gotten the gift card either way. Oh, and since I won't be talking much about ODST, let me just try Forza out for like 5 minutes... hold up I'll be right back... Well, my first complaint would be that you can't skip the announcer while he goes on and on and on about how this game is like the most amazingly high tech thing in the world... The loading took quite a while, then I actually race and... meh, it was pretty standard, nothing to make it stick out, then I tried out the rewind feature which seemed pretty cool, but then after I rewind a bit, I accidentally pressed the "B" button and then I was just... somewhere else in the race track so I decided to resume from there, but that resulted in me crashing into a wall, falling into last place, and staying there swirling in a circle for about a full minute... Yup, I'm done with this game. Oh, and if it helps the game at all, then I guess the music was pretty good... and if you like Forza 3 then don't even take my opinion seriously since racing games are not exactly my cup of tea, and the only racing series I like to play is burnout, and that's only because of the exploding and crashing mechanics. Anyway, every Xbox 360 also comes with Hexic HD, a fun little puzzle game that is so addicting it made me forget how long I had been playing it. I almost forgot to mention the Xbox avatars, since I could make mine look tall, skinny, tan, and insomnic just like me, I think the avatars are a thumbs up. I did have some issues making my account, but I heard that was because of Xbox Live and not MY Xbox, so I just made an account online at Xbox.com. Anyway, I am really happy with my bundle, especially since it came with a headset for when I can finally afford a Gold membership, and thanks to the fact that I used to borrow my brother's Xbox, I already had games like Grand Theft Auto IV, Devil May Cry 4, and Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, but I also got Naruto: The Broken Bond at my local Gamestop, however I am saving that for when I beat Rise of a Ninja. Anyway, thanks to this, now I can review Xbox 360 games, original Xbox games, and Xbox Arcade games, so look forward to those reviews in the future.

New .hack//Link trailer and Accel 3 Tips
No new updates on NeoToonami, well a little Christmas picture and if you want to see it just head over to NeoToonami.com. But on good old Dothackers was a new trailer for .hack//Link:
Oh yeah and that other thing in the title, I have a few tips for some of those hard missions in Accel 3. First off, there is going to be a mission that you need to get a 40 hit combo against Shino and Kankuro, both of which are very cheap, so to beat them just choose Itachi and pick Amaterasu as your jutsu then just constantly spam it on the both of them at the same time over and over, and if you can try to get some ougis in there and also try to kill Kankuro first because he likes to spam his poison jutsu... alot. And for the Kabuchimaru (or whatever you call him) mission then use Jiraiya and keep doing your circle, circle, circle combo with an ougi at the end of the combo, do that three times then just try to use the circle, circle, circle combo again and it should kill him.

Naruto Shippuden Narutimate Accel 3 Short Review
Ok so as some of you know, I got Accel 3 for Christmas and I just finished it today (I am writing this on the 27th). So I will just talk a bit about what I thought about the game.
First off, the graphics were probably just as good as Accel 2 and that was awesome, uhh... the gameplay is essentially the same but now you can only choose one Jutsu to use (you select it right before the battle) and now instead of up, up, circle or down, down, circle to use Jutsu you just press triangle then circle, and triangle twice then circle for specials or ougis or whatever you call them. The ougis are shorter in this game and they are even skippable, which in a 4 player battle could probably come in handy. The main feature of the game is the story mode and it has it's ups and downs... where do I start? Ok, well at the begining the 2D platforming stages mixed with the traditional fight here and there was pretty cool, but after playing the same platforming stage like 15 times I begged for an ordinary fight, but the game delivered by sort of balancing the two to make it alot less repetetive, but once I got into the filler arc then I actually started to get mad. The main reason is because the uhhh "boss battles"? all you really do is press square from a distance (throwing shuriken) with no chakra because all of the enemies in the platforming stages (yes all of the battles against the filler characters are in the platforming style, oh and there is a battle against Izumo and Kotetsu like that in the filler arc..) have the attack pattern: Throw Shuriken until enemy is close enough to spam the same close range attack. Also just like any other video game filler the bad guy can control the good guys so that you have some excuse to fight them, making the filler arc longer, normally it wouldn't annoy me so much, but that seems to be the standard for video game filler in anime games now. Anyway, I have to admit that final boss battle (that you fight three times) was pretty awesome, and I would have loved it if you fought other bosses like that instead of what we really got... The rest of the game was awesome but for some reason some characters didn't have any ougis but it wasn't too many characters so... it's not much of a negative. Once this game comes out in America and I actually have friends to play it with I'm sure the multiplayer will be awesome, so in short, it has it's negatives but it has way more positives.

Gaming Otaku Recommends
Ok wow I actually finished my project earlier than I thought so I actually can post today, now if only people actually read my blog =(. Anyway here's a list of a few things that are so awesome that I just have to recommend for anime/video game fans like me.
Anime DVDs:
- Yu Yu Hakusho Season Box Sets
Ok I was at Bestbuy a few days ago looking for the next Naruto Uncut season Box set since had just came out but Bestbuy sucks at keeping inventory as it was nowhere in sight, so I looked around for something else that would entertain me for just as long as 10 hours and I stumbled upon the super cheap ($25 at Bestbuy $20 on Rightstuf) Yu Yu Hakusho season 1 box set, remembering the awesomeness of Toonami when I was a kid so I thought "hmmm... for the money this might not be half bad." And just wow... I instantly fell in love with the series all over again and since I only remember bits and pieces of it then I actually for the most part, don't know what is going to happen next. Oh yeah and this is $25 dollars for 1/4 of the whole series, that's ridiculously cheap, and like I said before if you buy them on Rightstuf it's $20, but since I am really impatient and want to keep watching and watching I buy them at a store instead of online.
- Naruto Season Box Sets
Well these might not be a better deal than the Yu Yu Hakusho box sets but still those first 25 episodes of Naruto uncut were well worth the $35 I paid for them, again that's Bestbuy price, oh and Bestbuy price of season 2 (or like season 1 part 2 section 1 and a half... you'll get that joke in a minute...) is only $27. But they are oddly titled, they don't just call it Season 1 and Season 2 (like what it really is supposed to be called) no they have some complicated name for it like Season one part 1 or something like that. If you already have the Uncut Box Sets then there is no reason to switch to the season ones, it's not like the special features are that good or anything, but if you don't have the Uncut Box Sets then the season Box Sets are a better deal.
Video Games:
- Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3
Oh man if you want the best Shippuden Clash of Ninja game (GNT4 fans, notice how I didn't insult your favorite CoN game by saying SHIPPUDEN) then defiantly go with Revolution 3. It's basically EX3 with more characters, more specials, more balanced gameplay, online mode, and best of all for people who don't speak Japanese, it's in English. The Online mode is surprisingly really good, with little to no lag on most battles, and even if there is any, it doesn't make the game unplayable. The stage transitions can be awesome or just annoying but I think they are only annoying when your playing online, oh and same thing with obstacles except those annoy me all the time, but don't count those as actual negatives of the game since you can take them out by just going into the options menu. I'm sure I have much more to say about the game but for right now if you want to hear it's awesomeness then my video review should be here on an earlier post.
- Persona 3 FES
"What's this doing here?" you ask, oh you thought this list was simply newer things only? No way, I mean I could put Starfox 64 on this list if I wanted to. Anyway On these lists I will try to put a game on here that will suck away your time like a vacuum the size of a building. This of course fits this category since I have at least 10 hours of gameplay on it and I'm only on like the second or third boss. if you don't know about Persona or any other Shin Megami Tensei games then it's basically an RPG with Anime style cutscenes, way less grinding than Disgaea, sim aspects (which for the most part are taken out of the new psp version), and hours of gameplay. Oh and if your wondering what FES stands for I forgot... but it's basically the expanded edition with like a second story mode after you beat the first story mode. For RPG fans this is a must have, for Shin Megami Tensei fans, you should already have this game.
Well there you go reader (notice how that wasn't plural... *sigh*) I actually posted today. And remember I post every other day and please tell your friends about my blog.

Top 5 Characters People Never Play Fair With In Revolution 3
Wow long title... But yeah this is going to be a list of characters in Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 that people CAN play fair as but simply choose not to. Believe me this is in no way an insult to Tomy for "Bad Design" or me yelling at them for "making [Insert character name here] too cheap" because for the most part I can play fair with these characters and Tomy did a wonderful job making this game.
5. Kisame
Ok Kisame is number 5 because half the people I run into using him are cheap and the other half are not. I can't properly explain how people can be cheap with Kisame because I can't do it but I've seen it. From what I saw I'm pretty sure they just spam his Samehada attack and then when your down they backup and get ready to do it again the second you get up. Sure that attack is slow but somehow they learn to time it so well that they can win the battle by just using that special, also when someone is cheap with Kisame, that is when you really start to worry about and notice that he is stealing your chakra with every hit (every attack that he uses Samehada that is).
4. Sasori (true form)
When I was playing EX3 with my friends I noticed Sasori's hilariously placed spear attack and would mess around with my friends using it over and over to make them laugh. I did that as a joke and I usually ended up losing if I did that but I realized that people on Wi-fi do that alot but faster and they combine it with other long range attacks. At first I just ran into one person doing that thinking that I would never see another Sasori player again because that was the first time I had battled against someone using Sasori on Wi-fi but no I ran into at least 3 or 4 more of them, like an infestation of long range spear attacking using jerks. Seriously I never thought you could be cheap with Sasori but apparently you can... and people do it alot.
3. Ten-ten
Ok in EX3 I played as Ten-ten one time and realized that her attack did so little damage I felt like if I did a 30 hit combo my opponent would still have full health but then I played the game with a friend and he insisted on picking Ten-ten and just wow... he was able to pull of like a 150 hit combo by just button mashing, it was ridiculous. When I got Revolution 3 he was so happy to play as Ten-ten again and he was able to be just as cheap as he was before. Thankfully I haven't seen any people on Wi-fi playing as Ten-ten so it's not much of a problem. One warning if you do run into a Ten-ten player online, then do not let her use her spear... staff... thing, because once she pulls it out, your screwed, so if you want to avoid it then simply use a combo or a single attack that is strong enough to knock her down and that will knock the weapon out of her hands.
2. Shino
Ok Shino players you should be laughing right now thinking "Shino wasn't number one?". Well, no he isn't but if you have ever either played as him or played against him you should know why he is so cheap. Ok let me explain how people are cheap with Shino... well... he has an attack that he can use practically 6 times in a row that summons a bunch of bugs that drain chakra to follow the opponent, now if you do it 6 times in a row all 6 batches of bugs will remain on the floor. So basically it makes it extremely hard to get to him, and if you think "I'll just use my air special to hit him" well like I said THE BUGS DRAIN CHAKRA so using specials is sort of impossible. Once you actually get to him then you can probably win the rest of the battle.
1. Sasuke
Ha! You all must have totally seen this coming, I mean duh it would be Sasuke as number 1. You see when my friends decide to be cheap or team up on me, I play as Sasuke and they instantly stop being cheap and they decide to play fair because they know no matter how cheap anyone can be with any character, I can probably beat them by playing as Sasuke when I'm pissed off. Now I cannot properly describe how Sasuke is cheap because he just is, like if someone else is playing as Sasuke no matter how bad they are at the game, they will destroy you with Sasuke's cheapness. Oh and I think I can describe one way people are cheap with him... well, the main way people don't play fair with Sasuke is by spamming their A button attack (the combo with his sword... you know the one) it's hard to explain but substitution jutsu on him during that combo is worthless unless you can time it just right. Believe it or not, Sasuke actually got nerfed (toned down... weakened... ect.) in Revolution 3 from the version of him in EX3 because in EX3 he had a sharigan mode that made his combos even faster and even stronger.
Thanks for reading, remember I post every other day, and please tell your friends about my blog I work so hard on these posts for the 2-3 people who actually read it...
5. Kisame
Ok Kisame is number 5 because half the people I run into using him are cheap and the other half are not. I can't properly explain how people can be cheap with Kisame because I can't do it but I've seen it. From what I saw I'm pretty sure they just spam his Samehada attack and then when your down they backup and get ready to do it again the second you get up.

Accel 3 VS Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 (and other stuff)
Ok, I am sooo sorry that this post is late I really apologies for that, I was actually planning on getting it to you way earlier than this but some stuff came up and... It's a long story but I promise not to make a habit out of it.
Anyway This is going to be my view on the whole Accel 3 VS Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3. Now let me start off by saying that I will actually be buying both games, Accel 3 for Christmas and Ultimate Ninja Heroes with my own money whenever it comes out. Now people keep saying that they will be cutting the game for the American version and everyone is complaining about that. What they are going to do is have the story go up to Hidan and Kakuzu and still have team Hebi and Kakashi Chronicles but they will most likely cut out every path or body of Pein or whatever you call it, Konan, and Sage Mode Jiraiya. It hasn't been confirmed that they will cut them out but I am pretty sure. Also the people who keep complaining need to stop and realize that we are lucky and should thank CC2 that we actually get the story all the way up to Hidan and Kakuzu, and that we get team Hebi, and that we get the Kakashi Chronicles characters. As far as I know every other feature is still in the game so it's not that much to complain about. Plus, we should also think of ourselves as lucky for getting this game at all. Also, I think it's a really good plus for people who don't know Japanese that Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 is in English, and for me my friends are more likely to get Heroes 3 so I can actually play multiplayer with them. Err... that's all I have to say... but since this post took so long I don't want people to feel like they waited longer for something not as good so I will move onto another topic!
Ok something else... Oh about that Live Action Gantz movie, I have a small bit of news that I forgot to put in the original post, apparently the person playing Kato in the movie will be the same actor who played L in the Live Action Death Note movies so that's a plus. Oh Viewtiful Joe fans who liked the anime (like me) head over to Rightstuf.com because the Viewtiful Joe DVDs are only TWO DOLLARS!!! forget whatever other stuff is on sale I bought the whole series of Viewtiful Joe (plus a Viewtiful Joe action figure) for only $18!!! What are you doing still reading this, this isn't product placement I'm just saying that I just bought them and the anime is way more awesome than I remember and now I'm replaying all of the games like crazy. Uhhh... What else... I seriously have nothing else to talk about and I really want to get this post out so people don't think I forgot or something. Anyway sorry about this lame post I will try to do something like a list for my next post to make up for this.

As far as I know every other feature is still in the game so it's not that much to complain about. Plus, we should also think of ourselves as lucky for getting this game at all. Also, I think it's a really good plus for people who don't know Japanese that Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 is in English, and for me my friends are more likely to get Heroes 3 so I can actually play multiplayer with them. Err... that's all I have to say... but since this post took so long I don't want people to feel like they waited longer for something not as good so I will move onto another topic!
Ok something else... Oh about that Live Action Gantz movie, I have a small bit of news that I forgot to put in the original post, apparently the person playing Kato in the movie will be the same actor who played L in the Live Action Death Note movies so that's a plus. Oh Viewtiful Joe fans who liked the anime (like me) head over to Rightstuf.com because the Viewtiful Joe DVDs are only TWO DOLLARS!!! forget whatever other stuff is on sale I bought the whole series of Viewtiful Joe (plus a Viewtiful Joe action figure) for only $18!!! What are you doing still reading this, this isn't product placement I'm just saying that I just bought them and the anime is way more awesome than I remember and now I'm replaying all of the games like crazy. Uhhh... What else... I seriously have nothing else to talk about and I really want to get this post out so people don't think I forgot or something. Anyway sorry about this lame post I will try to do something like a list for my next post to make up for this.

Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3
Well since the game was released early and by some shipping error Gamestop got a "pre-order only" limited edition version of Revolution 3 that wasn't pre-ordered by anyone so I got my hands on it. I have yet to watch the movie yet but I played the hell out of the game unlocking everything in the game on Sunday with 11 hours of gameplay and over 900 total matches. Well let me start out by saying something alot of people want to know, what Wifi is like, and yea it's a bit laggy but hey I like it and it's not like it's unplayable. Ok let me get all of the flaws with this game out of the way first so I can end on a positive note about the awesome stuff, ok so if you bought Revolution 2 you remember that the story mode was rediculously hard right? Ok this story mode is shorter but somehow it's at least twice as hard if not three times harder than Revolution 2's story... Oh and if you play the game and you get stuck on that Sasori vs Kankuro mission then you are gonna HATE the Kyubi Naruto vs Deidara mission. One other thing I found a bit tedious about the game was that #1, you only start of with like 2 gameplay modes (not including story mode) and you have to buy the rest, I understand buying Kumite mode and the 2 player versions of modes like survival (oh and 2 player survival is awesome) but having to unlock mission mode? Really? And for 20,000 Ryo? When you make about 500-700 ryo per match (unless your playing 2 player survival, in which case 600-1,500 ryo) then 20,000 is sort of a stretch, oh and did I mention that mission mode is needed to unlock certain characters like Hidan, Kakuzu, and Anbu Kakashi. Also since you make so little in single player modes I highly recomend that you spend your money wisely by just buying survival mode and mission mode first, and if you have a friend to play then buy 2 player survival and get as far as you can because 2 player survival grinding is the best grinding in the game. Oh and as a warning you have to beat story mode on a difficulty above 1 to get like more than half the roster, and it has been proven that beating story mode on difficulty 4 damage 4 doesn't get you ANYTHING! Just throwin that out there... Well anyway unlocking the last two characters was a bit of a hassle but after a combination of having over 700 battles (918 to be exact) and buying eveything everything in the shop (and yes in that order so you should just try buying everything in the shop) I got Bando and after getting 20% mission completion for everyone and like 40% or 60% mission completion for Kakashi with his S rank mission complete I retried his S rank mission and it was Anbu Kakashi instead of Guy, so after beating him (he was sooooo easy) I got him in the shop. Wow this has become like a tip section or even a guide, I didn't expect to type this much.

Top 5 Releases (of this year) I Am Sooo Excited For
Well right now as I am wrighting this I am too sick and injured (nothing serious though) to go to school, but I am not too sick or too injured to use the internet so here is a list for you, I will probably end up doing one just like this in January for the releases of 2010.
5. DBZ Raging Blast
Ok I am gonna be honast, I wasn't too excited for this game at first but hey, 70 characters (two of which are SSJ3 Vegita and SSJ3 Broly) with graphics so good it makes it look like the actual anime (unlike freakin Ultimate Ninja Storm...), and after finally figuring out the controls of the demo it was actually pretty badass. So yeah in a nutshell I will definatly get this game on release date (MW2 fans don't be mad, I just want Raging Blast more because I am not that good at FPS games...).
4. Bleach Soul Carnival 2
Well when I saw Soul Carnival 1 on play-asia I thought "so... what kind of game is it?" because it had that stupid "action" or "adventure" or god forbid it might have had an "action adventure" genre which are all slapped on to any game people don't feel like defining into a real genre but as I saw some gameplay I found out it was a hack-and-slasher with chibi style Bleach sprites on the psp, something I could not turn a blind eye too since I am such a sucker for a good hack-and-slasher (do I use hyphens there or... oh forget it...) or beat em' up. Then I saw screenshots for the sequel I realized it started from episode one and went to... well who knows where, and so I just can't help but ask for this game for Christmas, especially since it comes out on the same day as accel 3.
3. Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3
Oh man I was hyped for this game before, but with that full roster leak I REALLY can't wait for it to come out. I am so interested in what they will do with Anbu Kakashi and now I have a replacement for EX3 when my friends come over, well actually this isn't a replacement, it's an improvement or maybe an upgrade, since this game's story mode possibly can't be as bad as EX3's (notorious for being just awful) and this game has more characters than EX3 and the very important detail, that it is IN ENGLISH! Awwww yeah, I seriously can't wait for this game, oh and did I mention the freakin Wi-Fi? Well yeah that's another way it's more superior to EX3... I also find it kind of funny that it took Japan 3 trys to get a Shippuden game like EX3 and it took America one try to top it, and we are only on Shippuden episode 5! Of course I meant no offence to Takara Tomy...
2. Little Big Planet PSP
Oh man I spent so much time swapping this game with Revolution 3 for #2 but... I guess I just came to the decision that I guess I want Little Big Planet in the palm of my hands just a little bit more than the American upgrade to EX3... Well what can I say about this game... at first I thought it was just a rumor but this game is real and it's coming out on the same day as Revolution 3, good thing I have been saving up so I can buy both on the same day (but which will I play first?). I really don't have much to say about this game... since it's just gonna be so awesome...
1. Naruto Shippuden: Accel 3
Ok this one should be obvious, I love the Ultimate Ninja series and when they finally announced a sequal to accel 2 (Ultimate Ninja 5) I was so excited, I was probably one of the only people who didn't mind that it was on the psp. When I saw the graphics I REALLY didn't mind that it was on the psp because they look better than accel 2, but then I heard that there would be no PTS characters and it made me sad that I couldn't play as Zabuza vs Suigetsu but I am over that now because I can play as kid Kakashi, Obito, Tobi, and even CS2 Future Sasuke! So with all of that and supposidly 3 story modes (normal story mode, Sasuke's story mode, and an original story mode) it is going to be awesome, especially since that original story mode looks interesting. Oh yeah and they will all be in RPG mode like Accel 2, which I was a huge fan of.
Ok so as you all know I post every other day, ect. ect... Oh and please try to spread the word of my blog.
5. DBZ Raging Blast

Naruto Shippuden Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 Full Roster
Did I not talk about this already? really? wow... well a while ago the full roster was leaked by Gametrailers and blah... blah... blah... if your reading this you probably just want to see the picture of the full roster...
There you go...
Okay let's comment on characters not in EX3 and why this game will be more awesome.
1. Bando: I sure hope they fix him, but since TOMY has already done so much to make this game soooo awesome that I wouldn't even mind if they didn't... I just hope people don't overuse him online...
2. Kagura: Refer to Bando
3 & 4. Towa and Komachi: I liked both of these characters and will enjoy playing as them again.
5. Anko: YES! THANK YOU TOMY! Japan got her in GNT4 and I am glad we get her here.
6. An... Anbu Kakashi?!?!?: Wow, TOMY... all I can say is... Thank you... and... just wow, I hope he doesn't suck... but I'm sure he won't.
Oh yeah and since Hidan, Kakuzu, Sai, Yamato, and Sasuke are in the game I feel the need to find TOMY studios and just thanking them in person.
I know this game will be freakin awesome and for the people thinking there will be five more secret characters all I have to say is this, We already got so much stop asking for more, and THAT BAR IS THE HANDYCAP OPTION!!! IF YOU ACTUALLY WATCH THE VIDEO OF THE ROSTER LEAK THEN YOU WOULD NOTICE THAT AFTER THEY SELECT THEIR CHARACTERS ALL OF THE CHARACTER PORTRAITS DULL OUT AND THE BAR BRIGHTENS WITH A GIANT ARROW POINTING TO IT SAYING HANDYCAP SELECT... Sorry that was rude, I guess we can all dream, there is that a better answer?
There you go...

Top 5 Co-Op games
Ahhh! this post was a little late (I still got it on the right day but I usually have blogger post these things at 5 AM).
5. Ape Escape Pumped and Primed (PS2)
Well to start off, not too many people liked this game, I don't know why since me and my friend thought it was amazing. It's not all of the platforming gold Sony has brought to us over the years in the Ape Escape series it's more of a... ehhhh... party game... kinda... you see basically the story is that Spike and the others join a tournament in a virtual world (which explains why Casi can compete) and so the tournament consists of little challenges like collecting the most coins before the time runs out, or a boat race, or even tank battles and obstacle courses. But the best part is being able to customize your characters with new costumes, summons, special gadgets. How do you unlock all of the costumes, summons, and special gadgets you ask? Well by getting certain scores or beating levels within a time limit, how can you unlock things for more than one character faster and funner? With a friend of course, because the co-op in this game is great and the bosses are awesome too, oh did I mention the AMAZING CELL SHADED GRAPHICS? Well if I didn't then this game has such good cell shaded graphics during the cutscenes you might think your playing a ps3 game for a second.
4. Splinter Cell (uhh whatever platform)
I'm gonna make this short and say most Splinter Cell games are great, I say MOST because I absolutely hated double agent, if you want a good Splinter Cell game just get Pandora Tomorrow or Chaos Theory. Oh and if you don't know how fun Co-op in these games can be just go watch Splinter Cell co-op theatre and you'll know.
3. Nazi Zombies
Well Call of Duty World at War had great multiplayer but to be honest the story mode just pissed me off to the point in which I just wanted to stop playing and just started watching TV again, but Nazi Zombies is in my opinion the highlight of the game because instead of killing each other your teaming up to kill zombies, and come on, who doesn't want to shoot a zombie with an alien blaster or a wonderweiff (did I spell that right?). The game is great because it feels more like a separate game instead of just a mini-game, and you realise your progress of how you get better each time (Now that I can open the Pack-A-Punch machine with my friend in Der Riess I bet we can kick a$$ in Shi No Numa). Overall the game is great and whoever you are playing with will have a blast, especially if they like old style survival horror/defend the castle kind of game.
2. Halo 3
Ok, ok, ok, I know if I put Halo 3 as number 2 on my list then people will get mad and I will probably get a whole bunch of hate mail so just hear me out, Halo 3 would be higher on a list of good MULTIPLAYER games, because honestly my number 1 pick is better for co-op(sorry Halo). However I must admit when I was one of the first kids in my school to get Halo 3 I remember having a blast playing co-op with my friend. Usually Halo just aggravates me because everyone seems to know every map by heart so when the game begins and I have an assault rifle everyone else has the spartan laser and the gravity hammer inside of a scorpion, but playing the game cooperatively was awesome because instead of trying to kill each other we were killing giant scarab tanks and sticking aliens with plasma grenades instead of sticking each other with plasma grenades.
1. Little Big Planet
Oh man I LOVE this game and could not recommend it more for ps3 owners especially because of the new game of the year edition. This game is great and defiantly lots of fun for pretty much anyone, because this isn't just some stupid kids game, it's really fun no matter how old you are. The best part about this game is that if you can play your ps3 games online then beating story mode doesn't come close to meaning you don't have new levels to try, once you and your friends beat story mode you can play levels that other people made online and even make your own levels to share them with other people. Basically when people ask what you can do in Little Big Planet just respond with "anything" because most likely it is true.

5 ps2 games I would REALLY recommend
Ahhh the ps2, in my opinion it's the best game system ever and these are 5 games I recomend you get if you don't already have a ps2 (ha yeah right) or if you need some more games to play on your ps2, this includes game series as well.
5. Katamari (series)
Ok so I only own Katamari Damacy but I've played Me and My Katamari but plan on getting Katamari Forever. Oh well, anyway the two Katamari games on the ps2 are Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari, let me tell you this before you go out and buy it... this game is WEIRD, especially because of what the objective of the game is... Ok so basically you roll this big ball around (stop laughing) and your goal is to roll things into this ball to make it bigger (I said STOP laughing) and you have to get it to a certain size (screw it just keep laughing) and then you make it into a star... or in the case of the last level you make it into the moon. Anyway despite how weird it sounds (and how high the intro makes you feel) it is REALLY fun. Luckily for you, this game is easy to find for at least $10-$15.
4. Klonoa 2: Luneatea's Veil
Ok so I would recomend any Klonoa game because I am just such a huge klonoa fan, this game is platforming gold. this game is so fun but about the story mode... either you hate it or you love it, in my opinion I do like it alot but some people just hate it. Anyway, the game is really fun but the difficulty curve seems to play it cool for a while and then a few levels late it goes up just a LITTLE bit, then keeps doing that til that stupid maze level that was just too hard when I first played it years ago that I needed to get a Gamefaqs guide. Believe it or not this game should be really easy to find for a low price.
3. Persona 3
Yeah I know, "Why did you only say Persona 3 and not Persona 4?", well that's because Persona 3 is the only game in the Persona series that I have played, and infact I didn't even mean to buy it, it was on sale and I had just money to buy it along with Disgaea 2 and WOW it was awesome, ok awesome is an understatement, it was EXTREMELY AWESOME it has got to be one of my favorite RPGs of all time. The story is definatly one of the things that keeps you playing and it's kind of like a mix of an rpg and a sims game because of Social Links. Social Links are basically bonding with different friends by doing things like joining a sports team or staying in your room on a sunday afternoon to talk with someone on an online MMORPG. Social Links are kind of complicated to explain so it would be best if you just experience this game first hand.
2. Ape Escape (the whole series)
Ok I am going to be honast, since this isn't really a "top 5" list and these games are just kind of in random order, then this is number 2, if it were a top 5 list I would have to find a way to put it on a better number than number 1 because I love this series so much, even the spin-offs like Pumped and Primed are awesome (despite what most game review sites say I love pumped and primed), just everything about the series is great, especially the graphics, I mean just look at the cell shaded cutscenes in Pumped and Primed or just any part of the game of Million Monkeys and tell me straight in the eye that you have seen better looking graphics on a PS2. Well anyway, this game series is so much fun, but there is a downside, even though it is well known for being the very first game to use a ps1 Dual Shock controller, apperantly Sony must not think it's very popular because we haven't gotten an Ape Escape game since Ape Escape 3, but that is definatly not going to stop me from playing games like Million Monkeys or Ape Escape Acedemy 2, and it seems that much like the Blade Battlers series Sony has forgotten about Ape Escape, especially because the only new Ape Escape game in japan for quite some time was a game that was supposedly an "American exclusive", but trust me Sony, you may have forgotten Ape Escape, but your fan's have not...
1. Metal Gear Solid (series)
Ok so Metal Gear Solid 1 is on the ps1 and Metal Gear Solid 4 is on the ps3 but Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 are on the ps2 so this series is on the list. Well Metal Gear solid 2 is awesome but if your a really big fan of snake then this one might not be for you especially because in Metal Gear Solid 2 Raiden is kind of... uhhh... how do I put this... well you all know the word I'm going so say... he is nothing like Metal Gear Solid 4 Raiden (awesome Cyborg Ninja Raiden) and like many Metal Gear fan's say, he stole snake's limelight, but that's not to say the game isn't still awesome because it is, oh and there's a skating mini-game in the substance version that's just awesome. Ok... Metal Gear Solid 3... uhhh, well it's basically the much needed backstory of Metal Gear Solid that tells the story of Snake's dad "Naked Snake" aka "Big Boss" and it's pretty good, you even have to take medical care of yourself and eat stuff you find in the wilderness (surprisingly some snakes taste pretty good...) oh and by "medical care" I mean things like burning leeches off your body with Cigar's and picking bullets off your body with your knife, yeah I know it sounds effing painful. All of the games in the Metal Gear Solid Series are great and I recomend you try them all out.
Well that was my list of ps2 games I really recomend, remember I update every other day so keep checking for updates.
Even though Metal Gear Solid 1
5. Katamari (series)
Ok so I only own Katamari Damacy but I've played Me and My Katamari but plan on getting Katamari Forever. Oh well, anyway the two Katamari games on the ps2 are Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari, let me tell you this before you go out and buy it... this game is WEIRD, especially because of what the objective of the game is...

Ok I am going to be honast, since this isn't really a "top 5" list and these games are just kind of in random order, then this is number 2, if it were a top 5 list I would have to find a way to put it on a better number than number 1 because I love this series so much, even the spin-offs like Pumped and Primed are awesome (despite what most game review sites say I love pumped and primed), just everything about the series is great, especially the graphics, I mean just look at the cell shaded cutscenes in Pumped and Primed or just any part of the game of Million Monkeys and tell me straight in the eye that you have seen better looking graphics on a PS2. Well anyway, this game series is so much fun, but there is a downside, even though it is well known for being the very first game to use a ps1 Dual Shock controller, apperantly Sony must not think it's very popular because we haven't gotten an Ape Escape game since Ape Escape 3, but that is definatly not going to stop me from playing games like Million Monkeys or Ape Escape Acedemy 2, and it seems that much like the Blade Battlers series Sony has forgotten about Ape Escape, especially because the only new Ape Escape game in japan for quite some time was a game that was supposedly an "American exclusive", but trust me Sony, you may have forgotten Ape Escape, but your fan's have not...
1. Metal Gear Solid (series)
Ok so Metal Gear Solid 1 is on the ps1 and Metal Gear Solid 4 is on the ps3 but Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 are on the ps2 so this series is on the list. Well Metal Gear solid 2 is awesome but if your a really big fan of snake then this one might not be for you especially because in Metal Gear Solid 2 Raiden is kind of... uhhh... how do I put this... well you all know the word I'm going so say... he is nothing like Metal Gear Solid 4 Raiden (awesome Cyborg Ninja Raiden) and like many Metal Gear fan's say, he stole snake's limelight, but that's not to say the game isn't still awesome because it is, oh and there's a skating mini-game in the substance version that's just awesome. Ok... Metal Gear Solid 3... uhhh, well it's basically the much needed backstory of Metal Gear Solid that tells the story of Snake's dad "Naked Snake" aka "Big Boss" and it's pretty good, you even have to take medical care of yourself and eat stuff you find in the wilderness (surprisingly some snakes taste pretty good...) oh and by "medical care" I mean things like burning leeches off your body with Cigar's and picking bullets off your body with your knife, yeah I know it sounds effing painful. All of the games in the Metal Gear Solid Series are great and I recomend you try them all out.
Well that was my list of ps2 games I really recomend, remember I update every other day so keep checking for updates.
Even though Metal Gear Solid 1
