Metal Steve Reviews Space Invaders

Greetings my fellow video game citizens it is yoru pal Metal Steve back for another review! This time I'm going to dig deep into the vlaut and bring you a game that you might have forgotten even existhed or if you're a kid you didn't even know existed at all! But before I address that let me quickly talk about one of my loyalfans who seems to have become upset. "THIS IS MUTINY I TELL YOU!" haha! OK now on to business this fan is named Mike Sidekick and he complianed that my spelling is terrible and that my reviews are bad. Whoa partner, Steve's gotta put an end to this. OK I admit that when I get going sometimes my spelling gets a little messed up but hey I'm a busy man and I only write my METAL REVIEWS when time permits and trust me time is not permittingmuch lately with my bjsy schedule recording new music. I mean hey gusy, do you wnat game reviews and awesome metal music or do you want both? Both, that's what I thought. So I'm sorry Mike Sidekick but you might have to deal with a few spelling errors in exchange for the best video game information available, I hope we can agree on that! If not, OFF WITH HIS HEAD! KIND STEVE HAS SPOKEN! haha! But I would have expected more from some one with his own website. But that is engouh of that, let's get on with the show and get to my METAL REVIEW of, are you ready? Space Invaders for the arcade! IN SPACE NOONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREM!! haha!

So you might be syaing to yourself, "Hey I think this game sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on what it is, is it a game I know?" Well my loyal fans, I think you may know this game very well indeed. See, Space Invaders came out from a company called Taito who were a company from Japan in the 1970s, I think the year was 1978 but don't quoet me on that! haha! Anyway Taito had this idea for the game when their president saw a UFO one night and was like, "Whoa what if aliens from space came a nd invacded our planet, wouldn't that be crazy?" Well, luckily for video game fans this president from Taito told his company, "I have an idea. Let's make a game bout space invaders" and they said "OK, sir, but what should we call it?" and he said, "Let's keep it simple and call is Space Invaders." So they made a game where invaders from space invaede the Earth! Oh no! Humans are exctinct! haha! Not to worry, my faithful servants because all hope is not lost. Taito said, "Lets make this fun and let the player blast the alients from space" and gave you a gun at the bottom of the screen to blast the aliens with. PAYBACK IS A BITCH. haha!

Space Invaders for the arcade was a big hit because during 1978 people were really scaerd fo invaders from space because UFO's were everywhere during 1978. Like, people saw UFOs in Mexidco and Spain and other places where they speak Spanish and even in the United States in Egnlish parts too. They were like, "Oh man I hope the aliens don't invade" but Space Invaders was like training to them and people got ready for the big alien invastion. Taito knew they had a big hit on their hand but since they were from Japan they sold the game to Atari who made a new Space Invadres for the Atari 2600 or Video Computer Enterhtainment System as it is sometimes called by game writhers like me. Don't get confused though, becauses they are the same game system. YOU SAY POTATO I SAY TOMATO! haha! Atari sold over 2 million copies of Space Indvaers for the Atari 2600 and when you think about how many millons of copies Taito sold for the arcade you know that Space Invaders is a huge game.

So you might be saying, "Hey STeve, whatever happended to Space Invaders?" Well I'm glad you asked. There were a lot of sequels but nobody played them becuase they weren't any good, that is until this year when a new Space Invaders called Space Invaders XTREME for the Nintendo DS came out. But a lot of people didn't buy it becuase it was $20 and they said, "Whoa this must be sucky" but trust me, my readers of Gameriffs, it is anything but sucky! It is kind of techno and flashy though, so if you hate techno or get seisures or something you won't want to play it! But my advice is put on a METAL album and turn down the volume and blast the alien invaders until there are none left to blast. Annighilate them all! haha! 

Oh and let your pal Steve give you a quick tip here. Did you know that in Space Invaders there are shdiels can protect you from the alien invaders and their lasers? Of course you did if you knew about Space Invaders, anyway. But what you may not know is that you can blst through the shields. I know you might be saying, "Thanks for the lame tip Steve, now I don't have a shield" but the trick is that you don't blast the whole thing but just enough to get your lasters through to blast the alien invaders and top them dead in their tracks. That way ther eis still shield left for you to take cover but you can still blast the aliens with your lasers through the small hole in your shield. Not a lot of people know about htis strategy but since I'm a nice guy and in a good mood I thoguth I'd share. But just don't go beating my high score or there will be hell to pay! haha!

So now you have read my METAL REVIEW of Space Invaders for the arcade and I also gave some informaiton about Space Invaders for the Atari 2600 or Video Computer Entertainment Sysstem as we in the video game industry sometimes call it. It might be a pretty old game but its still pretty fun to play even if the graphics are kind of bad and the aliens are sort of slow. Be sure to use my secret stretgy and you will succedd in stopping the aliens from landing on earth. The fate of humans rest on your shoulder! haha! Oh, and for Mike Sidekick I hope this review had good enough spelling for you but if not maybe you should go back and work on your web site some more because those of us with web sites have a duty to our fans to provode the best information we can and you shouldn't let your fans down! OK my faithful fans, this is your friend and leader Metal Steve signing off for now. Remember as Metal Steve says, "THE ALIENS WILL NOT LAND AS LONG AS I HAVE MY SPECIAL SECRET STRATEGUY!" Later!

Metal Steve Reviews The Korg DS10

Hello to all my fans sorry for the delay but like I said last time Ive been sso busy working on a new album for my badn Mighty Talon that I haven’t had much time to work on my web site. But never fear my loyal subjects for King Steve is back to reclaim his thorne and bring video game news and reviews for all my readers. “DO NOT WORRY FOR KNG STEVE IS BACK TO BRING PEACE TO THE KINGDOM!!” haha! So let’s get to the point of you coming to read my wb site and learn more about a game you are interested in. You are probably saying “Hey Steve what game are you ttaling about?" Well I won't hold you in ssupense any longer. Today I will be giving you my METAL REVIEW of the Korg DS10 for the Nintendo DS. It is supposdly a "REAL INSTRUMENT" but can it stand up to Mighty Talon's fearless leader Metal Steve? That is th e question! haha! "NO MORE STALLING HAVE AT YOU!"

Before I go any further I juswtant to point otu that I didn't buy this game. I know you are probably thinking "Whoa Steve is kind of one of those pop guys now that he has some keyboard!" because Mighty Talon never used keyboards but hey, don't look at me! haha! I didn't buty this game. No, my fans this was a gifvht from my girlfriend Samantha for Christmas. I don't even like Chrshtmas because Mighty Talon is METAL thus we "HAIL SATAN!" haha! Just kidding we're not a Satancic band I promise but we play harder and fastre than even the most Satanic metal band and we consider them our METAL BROTHERS. ""BROTHER SOF TRUE METAL PROUD AND STANDING TALL!" haha! So anyway on Christmas Samantha was like "Htye Steve merry Chrsitmas" and I was like "Oh crap I dforgot to get her something!" haha! She was kind of mad but then I serendaded her with my guitar and she was happier. Hey man, don't think Steve is any lses METAL for doing that though. Having sex with chichks is kind of more METAL than even playing as fast as I do with Mighty Talon and if I have to play soothnng music for Samantha on Christmas to score then I guess that makes me a sissy! haha!

Now on with the show!The Korg DS10 for the Nintendo DS is a keyboard for the Nintendo DS that lets you make techno or pop music if that is what you liek even if you shoudl instead be making METAL but you can't even loop a decent metal drum sound! I feel kind of bad that Samantha bougth this for me but it's like "Hey baby, I'm METAL and you can't change my true nature!" But just to be nice I horseda round with the Korg DS10 and it is actually kind of fun if you like to just goof off and make stupid music. don't worry, my loyal fans, I'm not going to releahse a soft rock or techno album or anthing like that! haha! Can you imagine "METAL STEVE'S EASY LISTENING ALBUM NOW AVAILABLE FROM STORES" Not! haha!

The Korg DS10 is a little confusign to figure out untless you have musical talenb tut thankfully I have musical knowledge and was able to figure it out. But people will probably buy it thinking its like Guitar Hero or Rock Band, both of which are sucky anyway! And then they will be all, "Wait the Korg DS10 sucks!" but it's because they dont have musical talent or know how to play music. But I can't give my thumbs up to the Korg DS10 because unless you listen to the Cure or something and think keyboards are better than guithars but if that is the case you probably sit in the corner all day and cry about how the world is sad because you're so emo and nto METAL enough to be like a man and face your problems! "WAH HOT TOPIC DIDN'THAVE THE SHIRT I WNAT FOR ME TO BUY SO NOW I'M LISTEN TO MORRISEY AND CRYING!" haha! I guess Korg DS10 for the Nintendo DS is something that msuicuans may like but really. You should just buy a guitar and learn to play a real instrument instead of a keyboard that the Nintendo DS plasy for you! But if you go buy the Korg DS10 I won't laugh too much at you because at least its real music and not fake music like Wii Music for the Nintendo Wii, but I won't be suproised if you also buy a copy of Tiger Beat or something too! haha!

So now you know why the Korg DS10 is better than Wii Music and Rock Band and Guitar hero but its still not a really good instrument when compard to a guitar because a guitar requires more talkent and skill instead of the Nintendo DS playign the keyboard for you. "YOU CANNOT ROCK UNLESS YOU HAVE THE CHOPS." But if you are a beginnr or your girlfriend gives it to you like mine did its still pretty fun just don't expect it to be anything that will blow your mind. It can only be usede by real msuicians but then again real musicians will want to play real instrument sand not a fake keyboard right?! haha! Until next time this si your favroite game reviewer signing off. Remember, as Metal Steve says: "KEYBOARDS ARE FOR WOMEN AND FLUFFY HAIR POP SINGERS--TRUE MEN PLAY METAL!" Later!
