Ok so I promised myself that I would be posting up blogs every other day. That ended  quickly, not because I got lazy. Simply because other things came up, like trying to avoid Raiden in the afternoons. Attempting to make Link talk even though I know for a fact he wont. Killing vampires because they suck. 

But, thankfully, in the midst of all the horrible confusion and chaos, I have managed to write another blog about nothing. Prepare to waist  a few minutes, because today we are going to talk about something I love, video games. 

If you never have played a VG that’s fine, this is the best place to dip your toes into that world of awesome. For those of you who have played video games, recap with me wont you? 

Do you remember when you bought a game you weren’t sure about? You know, you go to the store and find this game that looks interesting so your like, 

“ Well… this looks cool. But is it worth thirty dollars?” So you put it back on the shelf and walk over to GameStop, or amazon.com. There you find that thirty dollar game for five bucks and decide its time to buy it.  So you do. 

At first there’s nothing that special about it, but then slowly, with time, you become an addict. That game becomes your life. When the attractive females come over you turn them away. 

They ask you, “ Why?! Don’t you want to go with us and have fun?!” Then you turn to them and say, 

“ Well… are you a video game?” 

The females look at each other a little confused, “ Uh, no, we’re not video…” 

“ THEN NO!!” 

Ok, I’m probably the only one that’s ever done that, but still… you get really wrapped up in this game and eventually you draw near to its end. Your eyes widen, your heart races a thousand paces, and finally you reach the ending! The climax!

And for once, it doesn’t disappoint, after you beat that game your just left sitting in your seat saying, 

“ Wow… I cant believe its over.” 

The games ending is so good that it makes you wish there were sequels, so you go online and check. Don’t you remember those games? They’re so freaking awesome. that’s what I’m talking about today, I love video games and over the past few years I’ve played quiet a few. Now, I’d like to share with you some of the most memorable game endings in the world, or at least in my world. 

If you haven’t played video games, listen! This is where you should start:

( Note, this list isn’t ranked best to worst, they just sort of came out.)

1. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Abbreviation: LOZ:WW, Platform: Game Cube, Why its on here?

I’ve played a lot of Legends that involve Zelda. I’m proud to say that I have studied or played almost every single one, even those crappy ones that no one knows about. So why, out of all the other Zelda’s, have I choose this one to be in the spot light? Most lean towards Majora’s Mask or Ocarina of Time ( Both LOZ games on the N64). But the art style, story, and wonderful game play brought Wind Waker to the top of my list. 

Like many I was put off by this games cartoon style at first. But once you start playing, you cant get enough. Its by far one of the best games I’ve ever played, and that ending doesn’t disappoint. 

You spend the entire game slowly powering up so you can fight this horrible bad guy names Gannon, and then finally you get to have a showdown with him. It first starts with a boss that acts like a test, making you use every trick you’ve gotten throughout the entire game. Then, finally, you fight Gannon, while you do the entire world around you is getting flooded with water. It’s intense, its crazy, and surprisingly its actually hard. I died once, that usually doesn’t happen when I play some legend. 

So if you have a game cube, pick this puppy up. It wont disappoint. 

2. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots, Abbreviation: MGS4, Platform: PS3 ( Play station 3) and hopefully Xbox360, why is it one here? 

Anyone who’s played any Metal Gear game has to give props to Hideo Kojima. He’s brilliantly brilliant. Every one of his games will blow your socks off. 

The story in Metal Gear Sold 4 is just amazing, you might be a little lost if you haven’t played any other MGS  game before, but that doesn’t mean you should blow it off. This story holds its own, and makes you weep as the epic tale of Solid Snake comes to its dramatic conclusion. 

The ending is just amazing, from making you crawl through a giant microwave hall while you watch your character slowly getting fried by the heat, to the final epic fight with your brother and arch nemeses on top of a ship in the sunset. 

Its just amazing, if you ever have the time to play this wonderful game, you most certainly should. Because right now, it’s the only reason to buy a PS3. Haha, that was a joke… of course… 

3. Kingdom Hearts II, Abbreviation: KH2, Platform: PS2 ( play station 2), why is it on here? 

Ok, if I explained this game to someone who’s never heard of it before they would roll their eyes. The thought of playing side by side Disney characters in an action game doesn’t sound all the appealing at first. 

But then you play it, and your mouth drops. The one thing I loved about kingdom hearts 2 was the simple fact that it didn’t require to play the first one. On top of that, the controls were remarkably easy to learn. The game play is wonderful as is the story line. Though it can get slow and stupid at some points, Kingdom Hearts makes up for it with its dramatic end. 

It has your main character Sora fight a slew of crazy bosses right along side your best friend, and rival, Riku. Its amazing, it makes you tear and gassy. Ok not really, but this fun, cool, and addicting game is definitely worth your time. If your new to role playing games this would be a good place to start. 

4. Shadow Of The Colossus, Abbreviation: you can figure it out, Platform: PS2, why is it on here? 

Shadow of the Colossus is actually fairly recent in my blood stream. But once I played it I knew it would be sticking with me for the rest of my life. Its marvelous landscapes makes your heart stop. 

And then, to top off its beauty, the creators decided to add them, the Colossi… Theses fricken giant monsters that make you look like an ant. 

Guess what the whole point of the game is? That’s right, you need to fight them. That’s the whole game, You literally climb the Colossi’s massive bodies so you can stab them in there vital points. 

That’s it, that’s the entire game. There is no enemies getting in your way of the colossus, its just you and the giant monsters. 

Its simple, its easy, and its ending will make you wonder about your life’s meaning. Though there isn’t much dialogue in the game it really isn’t necessary. The story unfolds in your mind and when its all said in done at the end, you just wish it could’ve lasted longer. 

This is by far one of the best video game endings I’ve ever seen. If you can, go find this game for nine dollars and play it, because it will change your life. 

5. Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Abbreviation: FFVII:CC, Platform: PSP ( WTF does that mean?  That stands for play station portable if your new to this.)  Why is it on here? 

Alright, lets not lie there are a lot of great final fantasy games with epic endings. Why did I pick this one above all the rest? Well, lets first just start with what its even about. 

To put it shortly, you’re a dude names Zack, this game is the prequel to Final Fantasy seven and it shows how your friend, Zack, Dies. That’s right, you play this game, and at the very end, you die. 

You know its coming too. You know your end is near, and the game makes you play through it. All the way to the end, it has to fight till your last breath. Its epic, its heart wrenching, and that’s why I put it on here. 

There is so many more we could cover, but already I’ve gone over my talk limit. So, until next time people, keep safe, and don’t let Raiden in your house. Because he will eat all your food, that’s not a lie.
