Metal Steve Reviews Sin and Punishment

When you come to read METAL REVIEWS at Metal Steve's Game Riffs you know you are getting information that you can't get from any where else on the World Wide Web or even in professional videogame magazines like Gamepro. Don't ask how I get all my information because like a magician a true METAL REVIEWER doesn't reveal who he does his tricks but let's just say I know a lot of people. That is why today I am going to present you with a review of a game that you might not know excisted. This game is what we hardcore gamers call and "UNDERGROUND" game because only people who aren't at the top of the sales charts in buying video games will know about it and since I am "UNDERGROUND" I know about it! haha! The game I am referring to is called, are you ready? SIN AND PUNISHMENT for the Nintendo 64. The game was never released outside of Japan but if you promise not to tell anyone, I will let you know a secret of how to play it outside of Japan! If you have a Nintendo Wii, did you know that you can find the game on the Virtual Console Channel? I bet you didn't know that! See, someone at Nintendo snuck it on there because they said "Wow, this game is so good we need to put it out outside of Japan!" so he made it available. You might go into Game Stop and ask them "Hey guys do you have Sin and Punishment for the Nintendo 64 or Nintendo Wii?" and they'd say "Sin and What? No game exists!" but it does! haha! Even though it's a Nintendo 64 game you can play it on your Wii if you know where to look. The bad news is the guy who snuck it on there accidentally made it more expensive so now you have to pay more than you wouldh have for a Nintendo 64 game but hey, you can still play it! AWEOSME! So prepare youself for my METAL REVIEW of Sin and Punishment. "UNDERGROUND GAMERS UNITE!"

Sin and Punishment for the Nintendo 64 is considered to be the best Nintendo 64 game ever made, even more than Mario 64 and Killer Instinct 64. In fact I don't think Killer Instinct 64 is good but my drummer Eric thinks it's awesome so I told him I'd put it in here. See that Eric are you happy now? haha. Killer Instinct 64 sucks! But Mario 64 doesn't suck but Sin and PUnishment is even better than Mario 64! It was made by a game maker called "TREASURE" who are the best game makers on the planet only nobody knows about them. They ar some guys who came from another game company, I think it was Capcom, and said "Hey we're tired of making games for other companies but not getting credit so let's make games for ourselves!" and so they formed a new game making company. They called themselves "TREASURE" because their games were also worth a lot of money, even when they came out. Sin and Punishment on the Nintendo 64 cost over $100 in Japanese money when it came out and now you can't find it anywhere unless you flew to Japan and the guys in the store would say "OK wel can sell you our copy but it's going to be expensive" and when you say "How expensive" they'll say "Don't ask!" and laugh. haha!

The president of Nintendo knew that the Nintendo 64 needed something special becasue even though it was the most powerful system on the planet when it was out the Sony Playstation was beating it because the Nintendo 64 didn't have games with gun and shooting. The game makers at Nintendo said, "Don't look at us, we just make peaceful games!" and they weren't sure what to do until someone remembered "Hey what about TREASURE?" So the president of Nintendo called the president of TREASURE and asked for a favor, "Can you make a game for us with lots of shooting?" and the presidnet of TREASURE said "I though you'd never ask!" So TRESSURE got to work adn a year and a half leter they presented Nintendo with a game. "Do you like what you see?" is what they said and Nintendo said "Yes!" TREASURE said, "We call it Sin and Punishment and it is for the Nintendo 64!" And the rest is history! Only it's probably history you didn't know unless you are "UNDERGROUND" like me, but now you do know it! haha! Consider yourself a part of the "UNDERGROUND" of hardcore gamers.

The goal in Sin and Punishment is to run as fast as you can through the levels and shoot as many enemies in th elevels as you can. The more enemies you shoot the highter your score goes. You have to hold the Nintendo 64 controller in kind of a weird way but after you get used to it you hand won't even hurt! Unless you're a wimp! haha! The game features some pretty heavy music that isn't quite METAL but it's still pretty good. The graphics are really amazing and have lots of enemies to shoot, a lot at once. It's really amazing. If you play it for the first time you might say "Hey Steve I acn't play this, this is too crazy!" but I will say be patient and try your best and soon you will be running thruogh the levels and shooting more enemies than you ever though possible. "IT'S A MIRACLE!" haha! You will get better I promise. Metal Steve doesn't break promises, so don't let me down! haha!

So now you know about TREASURE and their "UNDERGROUND" game calle dSin and Punishment for the Nintendo 64. If you know what you're doing when you search the Virtual Console Channel you can find it there except it's a little more expensive than it should be but that's OK because in Japan you'd have to pay at least $200 for Sin and PUnishment for the Nintendo 64. So the money you pay on the Virtual Console Channel is nothing compared to that, unless you're homless or something! haha! And then why are you playing Wii? Get a job! haha! OK that is all for now my faithful friends. Until next time, this is Metal Steve bidding you farewell. Remember as Metal Steve says: "UNLESS YOU THINK KILLER INSTINCT 64 IS GOOD, YOU WILL FIND REAL TREASURE WHEN YOU PLAY A TREASURE GAME." Later!

Metal Steve Reviews Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Yesterday you all read my METAL REVIEW of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. You might have said "How can the world handle more than one cross over between Nintendo and Sega!" but get ready to have your mind blown because there is yet another game for the Nintendo Wii that features Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog together. That game is called Super Smash Bros. Brawl and it has quickly become the number 1 game ever to be released on the Nintendo Wii. It might even be the number 1 game in history soon. So sit back and relax, because I'm proud to present you with my METAL REVIEW of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii. Like the announcre says in After Burner when your jet is leaving the air craft carrier: "GET READY!" haha!

Let me first give you a history lesson about Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This is not the first or even second game that has come out called Super Smash Bros. It is the third one with the other two being for the Nintendo 64 and the Nintendo Gamecube. A lot of people might say "Hold on! Do I need to play those other ones first because I haven't!" Dont worry! You can play Super Smash Bros. Brawl without ever having play the original two games so there is no problem for both old timers like me and new players that have never held the controller before! But us old timers will probably jsut beat the new players. Sorry that's just the way it goes! haha!

Now don't get confused if you buy the game and Sonic the Hedgehog is not available to select for fighting. See, you have to unlock him in the game. Game companies put secrets into games that us hard core gamers call "unlockables." But maybe Nintendo is still fighting with Sega and that is why Sonic the Hedgehog has to be unlocked. haha! Here's a Metal Steve game tip. The fastest way to unlock Sonic the Hedgehog is by clearing the "Classic Mode" 10 times with 10 different characters. But that's a secret and I don't know if Nintendo wants anyone to know about that! So we'll just keep that betwee you and me. Dont' tell! haha! I don't want to get in trouble for spilling all of Nintendo's deep dark secrets.

Now that you know how to unlock Sonic the Hedgehog I can move on. Let's talk about what this game is exactly. Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a fighting game where every single Nintendo character ever created fights in all the Nintendo games ever created. Well almost all of them. Nintendo might have forgot to put some in. Like I said "Hey where's Duck Hunt!" but that's OK because they need to keep something for the next Super Smash Bros. game! haha! Four peole can play at once and to beat the game you have to win the battles by being the best fighter., or "The Last Man STanding" to put it that way! "CAN YOU BEAT THE OTHERS?"

Nintendo knows that everybody likes to play games their own way, so they were nice enough to put not two or three but FOUR different ways to play. Yes you read that right. FOUR ways to play. You can hold the Wii controller three different ways or you can use a Gamecube controller. Dont' worry, though, because they all work well. I like to use a Gamecube controller because that's what work sfor me, but if that's not your thing that's cool! Some people hate the Gamecube and think it's for kids only but those people are idiots! haha!

You might think "Hey Steve, who else can I play as in this game"?" Well I'm glad you were kind enough to ask! You can play as pretty much every Nintendo character you can think of. There's Mario, Pikachu, Donkey Kong, and even some weird ones you might not know about like the dude from Pikmin and the "guy" from Metroid. I put "guy" in quotations because that "He" is really a "She" which is something a lot of people don't know. And here's another Metal Steve secret. You can even play as Solid Snake from the Metal Gear games. But like Sonic the Hedgehog you have to unlock Solid Snake. That's top secret info straight from me to you. And I should tell you the best way to unlock him. Just play the Metal Gear level over and over and soon Solid Snake will be unlocked. You were probably thinking "Why do they have this Metal Gear level in this game? That's crazy!" But now you know! haha. I also like Solid Snake because his game is called METAL GEAR and I love METAL!

I know, I know. I haven't talked about if the game is good or not. Well don't worry, my faithful fans. This game is totally amazing. It has the best graphics on the Nintendo Wii. It's like Nintendo said "Let's pull out all the stops!" and used every single bit availale on the Nintendo Wii. Remember I told you the Super Nintendo Entertainment System or "SNES" as hard core gamers call it was 16-bits? Well prepare to be blown away because the Wii has at least 10 times the amount of bits! That's a lot of horsepower. It might not be as powerful as the Playstaiton3 or Xbox-360 but after playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl you might even say "PLAYSTATION3 WHO?" haha! To summarize, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a dream come true for people who like incredible fighting games.

So there you have it, another METAL REVIEW from your pal Metal Steve. I know you read my reviews because you want the best ther eis, without all the bull that other game reviews give you. I hope I delivered because I think I did! So until next time, this is Metal Steve sighing off on another geniune METAL REVIEW. Don't forget, as Metal Steve says: "ONLY THE TOP WARRIORS WILL BE STANDING AT THE END." Later!
