10: Since You Been Gone - Rainbow
Alright let's start off the list with a banger!

9: Come A Little Bit Closer - Jay & The Americans
Get your arrows ready because it's time to whistle!

8: Lake Shore Drive - Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah
One of my fave songs I have discovered thanks to Gunn and the Guardians. 

7: No Sleep Till Brooklyn - Beastie Boys
No sleep til we get revenge on behalf of our beloved Raccoon!

Uh oh. here comes Adam Warlock.

I'm distracting you, ya big turd blossom!

4: Guardians Inferno - The Sneepers & David Hasselhoff
I wanted to include this so badly so I hope you don't mind.

3: Mr. Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra
OK so we are at number 3 and here is a personal fave song and from the opening title sequence it's ELO's Mr Blue Sky.

2: Hooked On A Feeling - Blue Swede
Probably one of the biggest most infectious songs to come from GOTG is this hit! 

1: Come And Get Your Love - Redbone
James Gunn said it best, "when I think of the Guardians, Come and get your love plays" it is iconic and synonymous with them.

GODZILLA 2: KING OF THE MONSTERS (A MONSTER REVIEW)

Visually stunning, fierce fighting, deadly ear shattering sounds and monsters galore in the return of Godzilla. 5 years has passed since the memories of San Francisco and the rise of the first Titans or so we thought. SPOILERS AHEAD!

The destruction of SF has left people reeling and questioning and angry and upset, people have died, buildings and homes destroyed, people missing and our monster king has disappeared or so they would want you to think. Since the MUTO's and Zilla faced off, our world was left shaken and most went back to normality, however the US Gov has plans to disband Monarch and all their research in favour of destroying the Kaiju's worldwide but Monarch although they could come across as these evil secret branch of government baddies they are not all that bad and they do want good for the world and believe the titans are here to save us rather than destroy us and all we should do is let them fight or help them fight. 
Kong is mentioned several times in the film as we are building up to the big long awaited rematch between two titan kings BUT first our GODzilla must be prepared to face the most devastating, fierce, deadly foes that we as humans and he as Kaiju have ever seen before. The Great King Ghidora who has been frozen in time for centuries but some rogue army lead by Charles Dance has other plans in waking up the titans from their slumber. Now some awoke naturally but others need freeing by ways of soundwaves or explosions. There's a lot going on and a lot that has went on in our past in the MONSTER-VERSE that our ancestors wrote or drawn images about but they also wanted to forget some monsters more than others as they were great threats that came from the skies that they feared unstoppable. They needed an Alpha to counter the Omega and we have it. Despite an epic butt kicking Zilla will never quit as we seen in the 2014 incarnation and now in this 2019 sequel too. He is our GOD and WE ARE HIS PET. 
Natural orders of the world has causes titans to come back to rise up from their slumber to duke it out, to feast upon us and our wicked ways and to stop us from destroying ourselves and our world. No matter what we throw at the titans they always seem to brush it off so we need to form a coexistence in order to survive and live in peace and harmony and we must always stop those who threaten the natural order. 
Mothra is a stunning beautiful creature although up close and personal when angered is a scary mo fo who fights for the good, she is the Queen of the monsters and her silk is powerful and stronger than anything we can create as humans, her wings can create such beautiful healing light and act as a protective shield and can absorb a lot of powerful blasts but too much of it and she will be damaged and become unable to fly. Rodan is a fierce Pteranodon who's wings create hurricanes and he can create a sonic boom from launching off the ground he is an aerial assassin and a toughy.  Ghidora is a deadly force to not be reckoned with he creates such powerful tropical storms and harnesses the power of electricity to shoot such powerful deadly lightning blasts to all in it's path who threatens Ghidora's throne for he is the Alpha, he is monster Zero and he is King and not of our world for his abilities can prove that. You take one head from Ghidora and you can bet it's going to come back and you can bet he aint ever backing down from conflict no matter the size nor power he will head at you face to face and coil around his opponents and blast them and bite them and choke them basically he will make you suffer and cry out in pain! Godzilla the magnificent saviour of our world and species the OMEGA and our King of monsters is here, jacked up, more powerful than ever, more stronger, more menacing and more radiated let's say. He will not only go blue but he will also go to meltdown mode and unleash some powers we have never seen before but have only heard about in legends.
The running theme through all of the Zilla movies is that humans side to the story is subplot that you should not care about because come on we got massive ancient monsters on our screens the likes we wont ever see or have ever seen before duking it out for dominance it's just time for us to focus on that. Ken Watanabi returns and he is the best human character there he's the only one i cared for. 


If you came out of the 2014 Godzilla showing saying that you wanted more Zilla, more monsters, better soundtrack, more destruction well in King Of The Monsters, YOU GOT IT!

However if you wanted a more compelling human emotional side to the story with strong characters BEWARE you will not get that! Like i said the only human character i cared about was Serizawa played by Ken Watanabi yet again Ken steals the show and will have the best lines and best knowledge and for a film that is apart of a shared universe discovering the world building and the mythos of that world is amazing and so eye opening and fascinating to discover to be told and aware of. 
So GO GO Godzilla and see it and be apart of cinematic history where we see gigantic menacing beautiful remarkable monsters fighting for dominance and leave your "realistically" mind at home and enjoy all out monster glory!

I really enjoyed this! 
8/10
+Monster fighting 
+Visually stunning
+Great soundtrack
+Good cast
+World and mytho's building
+Ken Watanabi
+Skull Island HYPE
+Some Good lines

-A boring human dilemma subplot
-Some cheesy lines and flat jokes
-Boring human villains that did nothing other than shoot other people and just relied on one person doing all the work herself when she was the one being taken "hostage".

My WWE Games Greatest Hits Soundtrack!

I have been tasked by James Davie (he's my regular reader and suggester and so thank you as ever James) to write down 12 songs from the WWE games that i'd put on a greatest hits soundtrack compilation. I thought this was very interesting and would be something fun to do. So follow me as we take a trip down musical grappling lane! I will also state i have only played WWF Smackdown 1 - Here Comes The Pain and WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 - 2K17. 

My WWE Games Greatest Hits Soundtrack List
1) HELLYEAH - You Wouldn't Know - Now this track is a firm fave of mine out of all of the songs in WWE games. I first got into this band through this tune! Hell of a song and damn right catchy so i have to include it. Featured in Smackdown Vs Raw 2008. "You couldn't be, you couldn't be me even if you wanted to!"

2) Skillet - Monster - My god the first time i heard this was just something unreal i had chills and just could not believe what i was hearing because it was that damn good and Skillet are one of my all time fave bands on the planet and i was first introduced to them through two songs on a WWE game. Featured in Smackdown Vs Raw 2010. "I hate what I've become, The nightmare's just begun, I must confess that I feel like a monster!"

3) Black Stone Cherry - Lonely Train - Song that got me into this band is their best or one of, i have seen BSC live three times and every time this song has played goosebumps and just chills its such an amazing song and catchy to boot. Featured on Smackdown Vs Raw 2007. "But you can't judge a book, Looking at the cover, You can't love someone, While messing with another, No, you can't win a war, Fighting with your brother, You wanna have peace, Gotta love one another!"

4) Pennywise - Revolution - What a catchy song, just a hell of a tune you have to sing along to during its chorus, it was heavily featured in all adverts for WWE 13 which is still one of the best wwe games in my opinion. "We're holding on, We'll right this wrong, And fight on, We will remember today, Let me hear You say wo-o-oh! We we want a revolution!"

5) Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become - Hell of a song, used to always have the tv turned up for this to block out my bad singing while i sung along to this catchy tune and i could not help but to have it on repeat either. Featured on Smackdown Vs Raw 2007. "So what if you can see the darkest side of me?, No one will ever change this animal I have become, Help me believe it's not the real me, Somebody help me tame this animal!"

6) Egypt Central - Taking You Down - Featured in Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 is this hit, catchy and one to get you to sing along and nod your head to and one of those revolt stand up for yourself songs.  "I'll shake the ground that you stand on, I'll still be here when you're long gone, This world is mine you can't have it, It's my turn to wreak havoc."

7) Bloodsimple - Dead Man Walking - This heavy badass fast paced track was featured back on Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 also. It's hard hitting and catchy and one that's been etched in my mind since playing the game. "All the blood that I've spilt, There's no emotion, just destruction of another person, Look at the blood on my hands!"

8) Disturbed - Perfect Insanity - One of my fave bands hands down is of course on my list because this featured in Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 also. Heavy, catchy, tough and badass is how i sum this one up and WHAT A HELL OF A SOLO! "I Don't know how much I can take, The secret thoughts inside me wake, I've lost what was within me, Oh sweet insanity"

9) Megadeth - Symphony Of Destruction - Featured way back on the Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 game had a hell of a remix of Megadeth's classic headbanger. "You take a mortal man, And put him in control, Watch him become a god, Watch people's heads a-roll!"

10) Static-X - Start A War - Featured also on Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 was this blend of industrial heavy metal catchy aggressive tune. "I'll start a war, Against you, You're one of them, You call yourself, A victim, But you're at it again"

11) Knife Party - Bonfire - A song which is mostly electronic dance instrumental despite a few repeated bars but this one is so catchy with its beats it just gets me going every time and song always stick in my head after hearing it. Featured in WWE 2K15.

12) Flo Rida W/Sia - Wild Ones (Wrestlemania Remix) - Pop song on this list from me? Yes its true and i know, all those amazing rock and metal songs even rap ones that i could have given a spot to and i pick this? Well i picked it for variety as my list has mostly been Rock/Metal despite the last two entries and WWE games always have variety and this is a catchy guilty pleasure song which i loved listening to while playing. Featured WWE 2K15.

And that is all i have for you with this list, thank you for reading and stopping by, come back for more soon!

STAY SHINY!

The 10 Best Guardians Of The Galaxy Tracks


What's up metallic nation? Hope you are well!

I went to the midnight release showing of Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2 Thursday night 27th April and it is pretty amazing, a solid 8 out of 10 from me. Had a lot to live up to some of it was a bit out of place or all over the place or rushed in ways but it was funny and highly enjoyable. 

To celebrate one of the most anticipated blockbuster movies this year in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2, i have decided to look over the first and second film's soundtracks and list the 10 best! 

CLICK TO BOOK TICKETS!

Now Tyler Bates who composes the original soundtrack music on both Guardians does a fantastic job but i am not going to be listing his 10 best from Guardians just the 10 best from the mix tapes. 

I will add Vol 2 is relatively new to when this list is released so the tracks off vol 2 will need more time to grow into liking more so following seeing the film and this list will contain links to the song's and facts about the film or songs! 


Altogether besides original soundtrack the songs used is 26 so let's get down and pick the best 10 so let's tuck in. 


This one the team gears up for battle and it's so suiting and a great punk track to kick the list off with a ch ch ch ch cherry BOMB! "Cherry Bomb" is a 1976 punk-influenced hard rock single by the all-girl band The Runaways from their self-titled debut album. It is regarded by many as the band's signature song. "Cherry Bomb" was also ranked 52nd on VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs.  It reached #1 on the Japanese chart and #106 on the U.S chart. 

The first song from Vol 2 to appear in this list is from the amazing Fleetood Mac! Yes they are in vol 2 with their hit the chain which is a wicked song, really catchy and one to bop your head too and rock out to half way through and one easily recognisable for it is used a lot in Formula 1 shows. "The Chain" is a song by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on their best-selling album Rumours. It is the only song from the album credited to all five members (Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood); "The Chain" was created from combinations of several previously rejected materials, including solo work by Buckingham, Nicks and Christine McVie. It was assembled, often manually by splicing tapes with a razor blade, at the Record Plant in Sausalito, California, with hired engineers Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The BBC's Formula One coverage used the ending bass line as a theme tune from 1978 until the BBC's loss of TV rights to ITV Sport in 1997, thus making the song highly recognisable in the United Kingdom. On 29 March 2009 the song re-entered the UK Chart at #94 through downloads, following confirmation from the BBC that it would be reintroduced, the BBC having regained broadcasting rights from ITV. On 20 March 2011, "The Chain" peaked higher at #81 in the UK chart following a campaign on Facebook to try to get the song to number 1 for the start of the 2011 Formula One season. By November 2014, the song had been certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry based on download sales alone, making it one of Fleetwood Mac's most successful songs in the UK.

A really lovely song here and a nice moment of peace as Gamora and Star lord take a break and dance out their sexual chemistry, great scene between the two in volume 1 and it's such a great song to boot. One that has stuck in my mind since my first GOTG 1 showing. "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" is a single written and performed by blues guitarist Elvin Bishop. It appeared on his 1975 album Struttin' My Stuff and was released as a single the following year. Bishop does not sing lead vocals on the track; feeling that his gravelly voice wouldn't do the song justice, he invited vocalist Mickey Thomas, who was a background singer in his band at the time, to sing it. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in May 1976. The song went on to become a gold record. 

A classic many knew of before GOTG 1 but it's so peaceful and relaxing and really catchy seriously if you don't like Pina Colada's you will definitely be singing this one love them or hate them haha. "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)" is a song written and recorded by British-born American singer Rupert Holmes for his album Partners in Crime. As the lead single for the album, the pop song was recommended by Billboard for radio broadcasters on September 29, 1979, then added to prominent US radio playlists in October–November. Rising in popularity, the song peaked at the end of December to become the last US number one song of the 1970s. The song speaks, in three verses and three choruses, of a man who is bored with his current relationship because it has become routine and he desires some variety. One night, he reads the personal advertisements in the newspaper and spots an ad that catches his attention: a woman who is seeking a man who, among other little things, must like piña coladas. Intrigued, he takes out an ad in reply and arranges to meet the woman "at a bar called O'Malley's", only to find upon the meeting that the woman is actually his current partner. The song ends on an upbeat note, showing that the two lovers realised they have more in common than they had suspected, and that they do not have to look any further than each other for what they seek in a relationship.

A scene no one can forget in GOTG 1 with Baby Groot dancing and going still when Drax looks in his direction. This like the one above is a classic tune and many heard before the film but it's so good and used in such a great fun cute way with Groot in the end of the first volume. "I Want You Back" is a 1969 song by the Jackson 5 which became a number-one hit for the band and the Motown label in early 1970.  "I Want You Back" was ranked 121st on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. 

Groot wanted to say hi or rather I am Groot....
Another new one from volume 2 and such a catchy one with it's chorus. I have never heard it prior to volume 2 but i wish i had, great song. I can't get the chorus out of my head though.....not a bad thing but it's just one i keep singing over and over lol. Silver was an American 1970s country rock band, best known for their 1976 pop hit "Wham Bam," written by country songwriter Rick Giles. It is ranked as the 70th biggest hit of 1976. 

Now sadly i don't remember this playing in volume 2 movie but it was prominently played during all the commercials for guardians vol 2 and it's such a great catchy classic tune. "Fox on the Run" is a song by the British band Sweet, first recorded in 1974. It was Sweet's first single that was written by the band, rather than producers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, and was their 14th single overall. The lyrics of the song are about groupies;"fox" being slang for an attractive woman. 

Another iconic classic tune one which always gets me singing and dancing in a happy manner. Heard this song first when i was a child and for this to be in GOTG Vol 2 is just amazing! Hell of a way to kick off volume 2 with this happy catchy classic! "Mr. Blue Sky" is a song by British rock group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), featured on the band's seventh studio album Out of the Blue (1977). Written and produced by frontman Jeff Lynne, the song forms the fourth and final track of the "Concerto for a Rainy Day" suite, on side three of the original double album. "Mr. Blue Sky" was the second single to be taken from Out of the Blue, peaking at number 6 in the UK Singles Chart and number 35 in the United States. The song was played as a wake-up call to astronaut Christopher Ferguson on Day 3 of STS-135, the final mission of Space Shuttle Atlantis. 

The intro song for volume 1 such a fun memorable scene especially when Star Lord pick up the little dinosaur like creature and uses it as a microphone. Really catchy fun song, i have listened to it loads since my first showing of vol 1. "Come and Get Your Love" is a 1974 hit single by the Native American rock band Redbone. The song was written by band member Lolly Vegas and produced by Lolly and his brother Pat Vegas, who was also a band member. It was originally featured on Redbone's 1973 album, Wovoka; later the song appeared on many "greatest hits" albums released by the band, as well as on numerous compilation albums of the 1970s. The song peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1974. It spent 18 weeks in the Top 40 and landed as the 4th most popular song on the Hot 100 for 1974. The single was certified gold by the RIAA on April 22, 1974, which indicates that it had sold over half a million copies in the United States. The song is Redbone's highest charting single and one of two Top 40 hits by the band (an earlier recording, "The Witch Queen of New Orleans", peaked at number 21 in 1972).

Could there be any other number one? This is the one which started it all. Appearing in all the trailers and getting most publicity and air time during the films release and what not. A instant classic one which has been listened to countless time and is a hard one to get out of your head as it's so catchy. Hooked on a Feeling" is a 1968 pop song written by Mark James and originally performed by B. J. Thomas. Thomas's version featured the sound of the electric sitar, and reached number five in 1969 on the Billboard Hot 100. The Blue Swede version made singer Björn Skifs' "Ooga- Ooga- Ooga- Chacka" intro well known (and famous in Sweden at the time), however that intro was originally introduced by British musician Jonathan King in 1971. 

List over, let's dance!
MOVIE FACT TIME: 
After years of being labeled as "potential flop," Marvel Studio’s Guardians of the Galaxy emerged as the biggest Hollywood phenomenon of 2014 when it was released. ADAM SANDLER AND JIM CARREY WERE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED FOR THE ROLE OF ROCKET! Gary Oldman, Viggo Mortensen, Christoph Waltz, Christopher Plummer, Max von Sydow, and Liam Neeson were considered for the role of Ego. Dave Bautista's Drax makeup took only 90 minutes to apply, down from four hours for the first film. However, he would have to sit in a sauna at the end of the day to get the makeup off. 

That's it my guardians, please comment, like etc. Suggest other lists for me to cover. 

Hope you liked this list.

That's all from me so please go out and go guard the galaxy ;)

Top 10 Video Game Tracks

1UP yourself because you have a new life from a new list that i have just made for you all. 

The list of my top 10 favourite video game tracks!

This list is compiled from original sound track songs and others. To hear the songs do click on the titles of said song as they will bring you to the song page on youtube for your viewing/listening pleasure. 

Added bonus i will either also include a fact about the song or game it is in. 

RULES: 1 SONG PER GAME FRANCHISE! No this and this from gta vice city and san andreas. You know? This will make it more challenging.  

It's the music that we choose, that kicks off this list. Weird to kick this off with a remixed song and a old football game but it was this song that made this game so memorable for me and i had such fun times tackling everyone and anyone even the freakin goalie haha. I was a liverpool football fan for many a years and this one was my fave and the last footie i played until Fifa 13 madly enough. This was probably the first game i played with another player that's a fun fact for you all because i have not been able to pick up any fun facts from this game online as of writing so my own facts will have to do. 

Might have been the first song i ever played on a guitar hero game. My good friend Lewis Griffiths first introduced me to this band and game. Hell of a game. Never played anything like it before and i remember begging my parents for the game for ages until i finally had it for my birthday haha. According to Activision, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock is the best-selling video game of 2007, both in terms of units sold and revenue earned, and that it is the first single retail video game to exceed one billion dollars in sales. Recognising the game's popularity, Guinness World Records created a category for the Highest Score for a Single Song on Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock in its Gamer's Edition, using the song "Through the Fire and Flames", noted as the most difficult song in the game. The record has been traded back and forth between Chris Chike, who also won the 2008 Play N Trade National Guitar Hero III Tournament, and Danny Johnson, the present holder of the record.

Do you guys feel like a monster? You will upon hearing this classic! For the first time in the series, WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 implements the Havok game engine. The software was used in the game to improve collision detection. It is also the last game to feature ECW in its title. The soundtrack is more memorable than the game for me but the game at the time was pretty neat but looking back on it and replaying it, it was ok. The menu being in a ring able to play about was really cool to figure out all controls to before getting it on in the ring. The soundtrack featured another Skillet song which was Hero another fave of mine. The game introduced me to one of my fave all time bands Skillet of course. What else was on the soundtrack? Oh well CLICK HERE to hear it! Man the road to wrestlemania original stories produced for the game were amazing too!

Such a catchy up beat song. Always makes me happy and manages to get me to sing along with my hand displaying a peace sign and with my tongue sticking out i rock my sack out....no not that sack. Dirty minded fools of a took! The series follows the adventures of Sackboy and has a large emphasis on gameplay rather than being story-driven. All of the games in the series put a strong emphasis on user-generated content and are based on the series' tagline "Play, Create, Share". The tagline represents the three core elements of the series; Playing alone or with others online or on the same console, creating new content using the in-game creation tools and sharing creations and discoveries online with other players. Most of the games in the series have been well received by critics with the LittleBigPlanet on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable gaining Metacritic scores of 95/100 and 87/100 respectively. LittleBigPlanet 2 garnered nearly as much acclaim as the first game with an average score of 91/100. LittleBigPlanet PS Vita also received very positive reviews and was the highest-ranked PS Vita game at the time of its release with an average score of 88/100. However, the release of LittleBigPlanet 3, the first game not by Media Molecule, did not receive critical acclaim, garnering a mostly positive average of 79/100.[28] Critically, LittleBigPlanet Karting is the worst-performing major game in the series so far but still gained a "mixed or average" Metacritic score of 74/100. However, the mobile game Run Sackboy! Run! performed worse, with a Metacritic score of 65/100.

HO AH HUH! Spanish Steve, Spanish Steve, Si is here. Or something or other that goes the lyrics. The song is sung by 30 people 3 times, so that 90 voices are heard on the final track. The voice of Paarthanax also voices Mario weird as hell fact for you. On February 18th 2011, Bethesda opened a challenge to deliver a baby on Skyrim's release date, November 11th 2011, and name the child "Dovahkiin". The winners, Megan and Eric Kellermeyer, named their newborn son Dovahkiin Tom Kellermeyer when he was delivered on that date. In return they were given a Steam key that granted them access to every Bethesda Softworks game made, including all future releases. Skyrim received critical acclaim upon release. The removal of the character class system, present in previous The Elder Scrolls entries, was well received. Billy Shibley of Machinima's Inside Gaming and Charles Onyett of IGN praised its removal because it allowed players to experiment with different skills without having to make decisions about a class early in the game. The art style of the game world drew acclaim from many reviewers, who welcomed the departure from Oblivion's Cyrodiil. Jason Schreier of Wired described the land of Skyrim as a "Viking-inspired treasure trove of flavor and charm", noting its contrast to Cyrodiil, which he considered generic by comparison. Reviewers welcomed the ability to dual-wield weapons and magic. Within two days of the game's launch, 3.4 million physical copies were sold. Of those sales, 59% were for the Xbox 360, 27% for the PS3, and 14% for the PC. I only played skyrim for just a week and i did not end up completing the main story but i did enjoy the game and this theme is a modern classic everyone knows. 

Oh oh oh woah oh oh woah oh......hell of a number 5 don't you think Spartans? The song features a wide range of musical styles, including chanting, string orchestra, and percussion. For Halo 2, the song was remixed into the MJOLNIR Mix. The basics of the song remained the same, but it featured electric guitar overlays by guitarist Steve Vai. On its release Halo broke sales records; by April 8, 2002, a little under five months after its release, one million units had been sold: this pace was faster than that of any previous sixth-generation console game. The game received numerous Game of the Year awards, including those of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Edge, and IGN.The British Academy of Film and Television Arts awarded Halo "Best Console Game," and Rolling Stone presented it with their "Best Original Soundtrack" award. According to Xbox.com, the game received a total of 48 awards. Halo had never been planned as a trilogy, but with the critical and commercial success of Combat Evolved, a sequel was expected. First halo game i played was Halo 3 and my my my what a delightahh. First-day sales of Halo 3 reached $170 million in the U.S., setting a record for highest gross of an entertainment product within 24 hours of its release.

SHAMOAN AH! HE HE! If it was not for this game i would not have gotten into so many classic songs and bands and artist's. First time i heard a Jacko song was from this game. Tommy Vercetti is heavily based on Tony Montana from the film Scarface. They both end up in exile, both rise to power in Miami using great amounts of violence, both build an empire from a large estate and mansion, both have short tempers and are prone to violence, both work as contract killers, and both killed their collaborators and took their ex-bosses' empires, and both engage in a battle with large groups of assassins at the end of their stories. However, Tommy survives his final gunfight with his enemies, while Tony is killed. Even the mansions in the games are similar.

OHHH YEAAAH BOIII THIS IS MAH JAM! Budokai 3 was given much higher reviews than its predecessors Budokai and Budokai 2 according to Metacritic. This was often due to how critics felt that the game did more to improve its gameplay rather than just its graphics and presentation. Its fighting and graphics have also been praised, with IGN stating that Budokai 3 was "One of the few instances of cel-shading done right", and that it "also offers a healthy amount of special effects and pyrotechnics and they all look great." The game's story mode yet again plays through the events of the Dragon Ball Z timeline, and the game includes several characters and events from the Dragon Ball Z movies (like Cooler, Broly and Bardock), Dragon Ball GT (like Super Saiyan 4 and Omega Shenron), and the original Dragon Ball series itself (Kid Goku). Other features the game includes are a versus mode, an items shop, a tournament, and a battle ranking stage where the player has to challenge the AI in a hundred fighter challenge. Moving a spot above after beating who ever is next in the ranking. The fighting mechanics have also been enhanced from the preceding 2 games making the game closer to its anime counterpart in terms of combat (which was well received by fans of the series and gamers alike). Budokai 3 has a roster of 42 playable characters. I had this game day 1 of release and skipped school to play it all day and that's what i did and i played this religiously for days,weeks,months, years frankly. I had also suffered a gaming injury playing this game i had blistered my whole hands due to wiggling the analogue sticks so much. 

WOAH A BATTLE HAS JUST OPENED UP IN HERE! MAKE SOME ROOM! The first time hearing this music i was like "wah?! what is happening? you doing me a frighten m8! Oh pokemon wants a fight me eh? Bring it!" haha. This game is at the center of countless Creepypasta stories is the already surprisingly dark Lavender Town. One myth, in particular, that frightened the internet as a whole is the tale behind numerous reported child suicides taking place in 1996, aka the same year that Pokémon Red and Green (as it was initially titled in its home country) were released in Japan. There are several different variations of this story floating around, but generally, it involves the musical theme of Lavender Town containing harmful frequencies that specifically target adolescents, and, according to the legend, drove a number of children to take their own lives. While the story is, of course, fictitious, it is certainly creepy. As alluded to earlier, Pokémon is an inspiration for countless stories like this, all documented and just a few clicks away. Lavender Town is a perfect inspiration for many of these stories, considering the fact that it is an already dark setting within an otherwise lighthearted children’s game.

So many classic songs i could have picked from this era of games but Mario just stuck to mind. Super mario bros theme is just an instant classic. This theme took the longest of the six tracks of Super Mario Bros. to compose, according to its composer Koji Kondo. He stated that he would write one piece, and the team would put it in the game. If it did not accentuate the action, did not time up with Mario running and jumping, or did not harmonise with the sound effects well enough, he would scrap it. The first theme he made for Super Mario Bros. was based on an early prototype of the game, which simply showed Mario running around a big empty area. Kondo described this early theme as a bit lazier, slower tempo, and more laid back. As the game underwent changes, he realised that his theme no longer fit, so he increased the pace and changed it around to fit better. The first handheld game i ever played was mario it was so simple so fun and also real annoying at times but this song is so cheery and hyper i love it, such a classic as i said.
