The Most Anticipated Games Of 2010!

0

If you love games, you probably take a look at a lot of the gaming news sites available online. But do you know about some of the most anticipated games of 2010? Were on the brink of the new year, so this blog comes to you JUST in time! For all of you Star Wars freaks out there - Star Wars Jedi on Wii is said to be one of the most exciting Star Wars games yet - definitely topping out Republic Commando times five. Expect to see some of the same stuff and a few different additions including the chance to light saber the creator George Lucas!

Also, for all of you WoW lovers out in the world, there is a new expansion pack called Cataclysm which is pretty much just going to make you drool over your keyboard especially considering there is an addition of two new races; Goblins and Worgen! I never really liked the WoW games, I've tried them several times, but I just can't get into it. I would rather blow crap up, shoot people and drive cars which is why I can't wait for Lost Planet 2. This game is going to be placed on the same planet as its predecessor, but ten years later. Think Halo 2 on speed.

You can also customize your character which is a huge obsession of mine. If I can customize anything in a game - person, car, weapons, I love it even more! On the other hand, if you don't like FPS or TPS and you don't like cars or sci-fi stuff, you could consider a sweet little game called Super Mario Galaxy 2. Come on, we all know how fun Super Mario can be. This is such an old school game with a flair for excitement. It used to be a kick butt game back in the 80s when most of the kids my age got their brand new Nintendo.

But now this game can be played on the good old Wii. Some people love this console, some people hate it. Usually the ones that hate it, are the couch potatoes that hate any kind of "getting up" and would rather sit down and play their games. Frankly, I like the interactiveness of the Wii!

One of the best used video games I ever had: Modern Warfare 2

0


Since the last November, you can’t get me off the Xbox. Wow! My butt, the couch and sequel to one of the best games for Xbox 360, Call of Duty 4 – became one. Of course that I’m talking about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Frankly, the only thing I didn’t like about this game was the price. But, I found it dirt cheap at www.Thumbmonkey.com where they keep all the best used video games and used video game accessories ever!

Anyway, Modern Warfare 2 is, again, set in the same time period five years after the first and stars Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, a member of a multinational commando unit, Task Force 141 with the main character from the original game returning as your commanding officer. As the story picks up from the first game, you're seeing the second chapter in a story where the big bad army conquering all of Russia and threatening the world with nuclear weapons.

As the story progresses, you, your CO, and the rest of the unit travel throughout the world trying to bring the new Russian regime to its knees to free the world from their terror. The game also includes a multi-player mode that was a huge draw for the first game as well. The usual modes, like Death match and Capture the Flag, were there for everyone to enjoy online and off. The series is stronger than ever and the fan base seems pretty determined to make Modern Warfare 2 one of the best games Xbox 360 has ever seen!

Like Used Video Games? Wish You Could Find Tips And Tricks?

0


I'm not usually one to cheat in real life. I pay my taxes. I'm honest when asked a question - even if I'm at fault, and I believe honesty is the best policy. However, sometimes when playing a game you just get stuck on one level and it could seriously just ruin your entire time with the game. Back in the day when I had Sega, I bought this one game that I just could not figure out for the life of me. I actually gave up, and put the game away or about 2 years. Then, I found it when I moved a few years later and I was like "I hate this game".

Amazing what a game can do to your morale! Over the last few years, there have been a lot of sites online that will offer things like tips, tricks, cheats, and guides or maps. These are for use with any and all of your used video games and consoles. These sites also have reviews and suggestions as well on new games to buy, games that are coming soon, best gaming consoles, and reviews on "need to have" video game accessories!

While you don't HAVE to cheat and use tricks and such, the maps can come in handy if you are stuck on a level and can't figure out where to go - I don't really think this is cheating. Just think of it as a virtual compass to help you get to where you want to go!

Love Games? Hate The High Prices? Check Out Used Video Games!

I don't know one person that doesn't love games - even my mom has been known to get a glass of Shiraz and some cheese after a hard days work and playfully drive against me on Need For Speed! I swear, I'm not lying! She's an awesome mom. But I think most people can agree on one thing - games are expensive! I bought a PSP slim last Christmas thinking "Oh well this is a smaller handheld, the games shouldn't be too bad"... wrong! They cost just as much as a regular console!

Worse yet, I can't just stick to one game for months on end. I like variety! Give me some Tom Clancy, some NFS, some Simpson's and Tetris and that will make me a little more content. You could just as well rent games from these online video game rental places, but ugh, have you actually looked at their prices? Wow! Its like $30 to rent ONE game. That's the same price to actually buy a game. So what are we supposed to do? Just give up? Heck no! Instead, what you should give a chance are used video games.

Hey, don't give me that look. If you can talk bad about used games it's because you haven't tried them buddy! Some of the best priced and best quality games are available at www.Thumbmonkey.com. You can find really old school games, or brand new ones, some used, some factory sealed, all super cheap! A brand new used game is a game that most likely was bought by someone or given to them as a gift and they opened it and didn't like it. And YOU can reap the benefits of this happening! At Thumbmonkey, you can even find new and used video game accessories as well!
