FIRST PERSON SHOOTER DISEASE: THERE IS A CURE

Check out this dude. He is one of many suffering from this intolerable disease known as Duke Nukem’s disease, also known in the more general term, First Person Shooter disease. I really feel for this guy as I know what he is going through. I had symptoms of this killer disease 2 years ago but fortunately for me it never developed into anything bigger than Halo disorder. I’m one of the lucky ones. I know once I got the full fledged Duke Nukem’s disease that there was a cure for it, but I was not aware that the cure would be so painful. Dare I say, not even worth it? I kept thinking in my head, living with this disease day to day would be a lot easier than going through with the procedure to rid myself of this deadly illness. But there was just no way in hell I was going to play ‘The Princess Bride Game‘ ever, ever, ever…. again.

Although, it’s probably no where near as painful as playing Namco’s ‘Muscle March‘. I’m still having daymares about that game as I type this.. *shudder*

UP UP, DOWN DOWN, LEFT RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT

One of the most famous cheats in gaming history belongs to one of my favorite childhood game growing up, Contra. That code stayed embedded in my head since the first time I found out about it when I was a little kid. My best friend and I would play this for hours. Of course, back then it was a challenge. Now when I play it on Xbox Live Arcade, I find it very easy to beat. I guess all those years of gaming after I first played Contra for the NES has finally paid off. Do you agree when I say another Contra game should be developed? I wish. Keep it as a platformer, but update it. Kind of like what was done with Bionic Commando. Same game, but with better, well.. everything.

I guess my wish will have to wait another day. But if I actually had a PS3, I could be playing this LittleBigPlanet “Contra” remake. A total of seven different people put in a very thourough representation of every level of the first Contra game. Eight stages total. This is probably the best LittleBigPlanet created project I have seen so far. The Mirror’s Edge one was cool, but that’s so 2008. Anyone could have made that level. But this? You can tell a lot of effort was put into this and the creators should be proud of their work. Whether it’s funner to play the real Contra or not, you’ve got to give credit where credit is due. Excellent work gentlemen.
