Jan 18th, 2007 at 21:36:22 - Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) |
After playing Super Mario Bros. 3 for another hour. I still feel that this game is not made for my tastes. For me, it is not exciting enough. every leve: Same old, same old. Once again, I would get bored and try and run through the whole level. Which usually resulted in a quick death. Yet i guess it can be done. Because some guy ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=mn0hY56FbLs ) was able to beat the entire game in 11 minutes. Although I felt that the game was boring. As I progressed into the third world, It started to get more interesting. With more challanges. But I like a game that is intersting right off the bat, and you dont have to wait until the third world, before it is enjoyable.
I can see how Super Mario Bros. 3 is a classic. At the time it was the best game out, and the most thrilling today. I bet if I was writing this when it first came out, this blog would be much different. Because I have played games that are coming out today, that in my mind, are much, much better than Super Mario Bros. 3, I have a bias against it. Yet I can see how, at the time, it was unreal. In fact I even remember playing it as a kid and having a much more enjoyable experience.

This week I have been playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on NES. This game is a 'classic' as most likely everyone, and they're Grandma, have heard about it. I havn't played this game for a few years now. I remember as a kid I loved this game. The first thing I noticed, starting to play again, is that I don't think I am patient enough for this game. Most of the time I would just press the 'run' butten and see how long I could go without dying, when it is obvious that this would not be the best tactic. Ocassionaly I would try and do the level correctly, hitting all the coins and killing all the objects in my way. I just found this kind of boring. I can see how this would be lots of fun for someone younger than me though. I think as you get older, you need more excitement. Unofrtunatly, this doesn't do it for me. One thing I do like abou the game is the simplicity, compared to games coming out today. The levels are simple and it is obvious where to go. to the right of the screen, until the level ends. This is one aspect of Super Mario Bros. I really like. Although it has the two player option, it isn't really that enjoyable. There is no direct competion between players.

Jan 11th, 2007 at 21:27:06 - Madden NFL Football 2006 (PS2) |
After playing Madden NFL Football 2006 for the second time, I found it just as enjoyable. In fact, I would say I had even more fun this time. The first time I played the game, I just understood the basic controls. However, the second time I played, I was able to use advanced controls, such as "hit-stick". I talked about in my first entry that i found the defense to be a little bit boring, yet after learning some of the more advanced controls, I started to have more fun on defense. Injuring opposing players is now my forte. However, I would still argue that it is much more fun to play on the offense. If I was part of the game development, I would look to see what could be done to make the offense a more enjoyable experience.
One aspect I didn't mention in my first blog that I like about this game is the situation it puts you in. unlike many games that are made for single player, Madden works great multi player. In fact, it adds an element to it, as you are competing against your friends.

Jan 11th, 2007 at 21:17:57 - Madden NFL Football 2006 (PS2) |
Yesterday I played Madden NFL Football 2006 for just over an hour. The first thing i realized is not different aspects of the game, but the fact that the hour I played it seemed so short. I have not played this game on PS2 for over a year, so it took me a little bit of time to get down the controls. But after about 15 minutes, I think I got down the basic controls. One thing I noticed playing is that I have a lot more control of the game on offense, compared to defense. On offense, I Can throw the ball, I can catch the ball, and I can run with the ball. However, on defense, I felt like i could achieve just as much if I put the controller down and let the computers do it for themselves.
One aspect that I found challenging was the kickoff's. It seems that most football games have a style of kickoff that is fairly universal, however, on Madden NFL Football 2006, there are different controls, which proved to be challenging for me. I assume if Iplayed for a little longer I would have got it down.
Overall, I found playing Madden NFL Football 2006 to be an overall enjoyable experience.
