Top 10 Games - My Opinion

Well i wanted to kind of review games and tell others what i thought
so lets do this in a descending order

10 - Little Big Planet (PS3)

This game was so much fun when i first bought it
you can make your own levels and make almost anything
and you can play up to 4 people online
one thing that isn't a reason to boast about though is the plain fact it gets boring after a month of playing

9 - Rock Band 1&2 (xBox 360)

Well, this is one of the most fun and best games i have ever played
even if you suck at music you can have a laugh at this game
the only thing putting this game down is the fact that the drum kit sucks major ass
if they gave you a decent one with the £150 you pay this game would be the best game ever in my opinion

8 - Bioshock (xBox 360, PS3 and Windows)

This game is one of the best games i have ever played
it has everything
graphics
ambience
gameplay
and even an amazing story
one thing put this game down and that is there is not a real big free roam aspect

7 - Naruto Accel 3 (PSP)

the best Naruto game i have ever played
featuring the most characters in any Naruto game available
including all members of Akatsuki baring three paths of Pein and Zetsu
definitely a must buy
only thing keeping this game down is that it is Japanese only for the time being
as soon as its translated it will soon reach number 1 in my list

6 - Fallout 3 (PS3, xBox 360 and Windows)

So much fun just having a walk down the road and seeing a Raider minding his own business
what do i do?
i pullout my Reservist Sniper rifle i took 3 hours to find and ten blow his head off
fun?
i think so
one thing putting it down is again the total lack of free roaming

5 - Final Fantasy XIII (PS3 and xBox 360)

Amazing graphics
amazing sound
amazing game
TO A POINT
lets see,
total lack of free roaming
lack of leveling up
characters suck ass most of the time
and the fighting system is the stupidest system i have ever seen in a Final Fantasy game
but still its number 5 despite the criticisms

4 - Age of Empires II (Windows)

This game is 13 years old
and still it is the best Real Time Strategy game i have ever played
it has me totally hooked and i have nothing bad to say about it

3 - Age of Mythology (Windows)

Again this game is 8 years old and is still the most amazing Real Time Strategy ever
the difference between this and the one before this one is the fact you control mythology
again nothing bad about this game
its so addicting and i will always go back to it

2 - Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2)

well, what can i say
the characters are amazing
gameplay is amazing
the story is superb
every time i play this game i fall deeper in love with it
there is only one problem with this game
it ended

1 - Garry's Mod (Windows)

haha the very best for last
well i guess i better make it worth it
what can i say about Gmod?
well lets see,
do you want to see Tsunade from Naruto fight Luke Skywalker from Star Wars?
would you like to see a Kitten beat the shit out of Hitler?
what about welding a pair of wheels onto a bath tub and attaching a jet engine and going for a ride?
well guess what
in this game you can do all of that and much much more
you can even makes games inside this game
if you can think it
you can make it
obviously a little bit of programming skills are required
but come on
a kitten just beat up Hitler
and how much is this godly game of wonders?
£6
thats it
£6

Mac vs PC

Being a Windows 7 PC user you would think i am all for the PC scene
well your wrong
I've wanted to get my grubby mitts on an Apple Macbook for quite some years
as most Apple lovers will back me up on is when you tell people about it the reaction is the same
"Mac sucks"
or
"PC is much better"
my reaction?
don't criticize until you try them
you see about 95% of people have Windows based PCs and there for are instantly put of Mac OS
and here is the difference between the both:

PC:
most people buy a bog standard machine
meaning the average user cannot listen to music while playing a game and downloading a movie
PCs are made by the thousands making use of cheap crappy components to make the PC scene a cheap one
but what people see as a cost efficient way of getting the job done is also the reason why PCs are popular
people are instantly drawn to the cheaper option and dont seem to give the other a second thought

Mac:
now here is where the difference is
a standard Mac costs £1000
why?
because they are not mass produced sh*t
each and every Mac is built for its purpose making it extremely fast and good at its job
there is no cheap components that bottle neck the operating system
you can make music, make a movie, download a game and sing along while its doing it
without the risk of it choking

Different Software
now this is fun
obviously each operating system has different software
now lets compare them shall we?

Internet

PC
what does the PC have?
Internet Explorer
the biggest joke of an internet browser
its slow, insecure, it freezes allot and is just plain ugly

Mac
what does Mac OS have?
Safari
its extremely fat, useful and it has allot of very handy features

Score
Mac - 1
PC - 0

Word Processing

PC
Microsoft Word
this is dominating the word processing world for one reason
Microsoft has the money to enforce it
its good for a simple letter but also very ugly and slow

Mac
iWork
now this is a word processor
its streamlined, fast, beautiful and doesn't slow down at all

Mac - 2
PC - 0

Music

PC
haha the PC music scene is a joke
what does the PC have?
Windows media player
the worst music player i have ever seen in my life

Mac
iTunes
well, it can download, sort, tag and put lyrics on your music
mix them up, make playlists, podcasts, applications and even album artwork
clear winner here

Mac - 3
PC - 0

i could go on all day about different things
so ill cut this short
the only thing in which the PC beats a Mac is the gaming scene
but i don't tend to play games on my PC anyway so it is not a problem

Conclusion
if you wish to make, edit, publish and become a master at music, videos and pictures
get a Mac
if your a cheap skate who plays games
get a PC
