First narrative by k-sever
I chose this poem because it showed how that the world was in termoil. It also showed that we in our history classes Are taught about these wars that were caused by deaths in another country.It also said how easily we overlook these wars as the other country fault when it is realy our fault.It made me relize that we make it seem like thousands of people havent died in one day because of the wars and starvation

Championship Round
The championship round is here. The two competitors are.... In the Xbox corner, weighing in as the third sequel, majoring as an online shooter, Halo 3! In PlayStation's corner, weighing in as the first game of the series, majoring as a free roaming role playing game, also known as an RPG, Infamous! Infamous move in with the ability to free roam around the whole city. Halo counters with a major arsenal of normal and unormal weapons. They hit each other at the same time with killer story lines. When Infamous recovers, the game hits Halo with the ability to choose from heroic or evil. Halo sends a flying strike with customizable armor. The games collide sending out the Master Chief from Halo and Cole from Infamous. The final punch was thrown. Infamous lies on the ground after being hit my Halo's awesome online multiplayer. That's right, Halo 3 comes out on top and is named champion of, " The Best Game of All Time!" We have seen old games, new games, online game, nonline games, and Halo 3, the champion of all!

Elimination Round
It is time for three of my top 5 games, to be eliminated. The two left will be put into the championship round. Let the eliminating begin!
There is one game that is obviously not going to make it. I'm sorry Donkey Kong fans, but the game is old, not up to date and is basically the same thing with harder levels. Yes it did inspire many other great games, but now is only played once a year at E3 just to beat the record. It was a great arcade game, but I'm going to have to let it go.
Now it gets hard. The next game that will be leaving is..... World of Warcraft. It is amazingly fun. But the fact that you have to have online leaves nonline people playing something else. The $15 dollars a month doesn't help either. It's a way for them to make money, and a way for other people to loose money.
Finally, the last opponent to leave will be... Modern Warfare. The Multiplayer is great, but can get boring. The lack of the ability to jump high an doge things leave you crouching a lot. The game is fun for a while, yet gets boring after playing for a bout a month. The single player campaign is nothing special either. Just another war game.
Now that three have been eliminated, Infamous, a PS3 only game, will go up against Halo 3, an only Xbox 360 game. Who will be champion? Tune in to the next blog to find out!

The Other Three
The other three of my games in my top 5 are made for or more popular for their online capabilities.
First, World of Warcraft. This game is only for the computer and has to be played online. World of Warcraft, also called Wow has over one million people who play. The game has two expansions and one on the way. There is Wrath of the Lich King and Burning Crusade out now. Cataclysm is on the way and will be released in 2010. Expansions offer new areas, new characters and professions, and new missions. The characters are divided up into the Alliance, and the Hord. The alliance consist of Humans, Dwarfs, Gnomes, Night Elfs, w/ Burning Crusade Dranie, and soon Worgen with Cataclysm. The Hord consist of Orc, Undead, Tauren, Trolls, w/ Burning Crusade Blood Elf, and soon Goblin with Cataclysm. In Wow you can fight with or against other players. The worst part of having this game, the reason many people don't play, is because it cost $15 a month. I like the game, not the price.
Second, Modern Warfare. I have been saying Modern Warfare 2. Now I'm focusing on just the Modern Warfare series. Call of Duty 4 is the real actual Modern Warfare. There is Call of Duty 1 through 4 and then Call of Duty World at War. World at War didn't do nearly as good as Call of Duty 4, the one before that, so they did a sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, by making just Modern Warfare 2. The game is a shooter game. You have modern weapons. In campaign you lead your squad, but most people play it to play online. The online is great. You fight against other people. There is a leveling system to where after so many kills, your character levels up and unlocks new weapons, power ups, and different types of camo. This game is by far the best realistic war game.
Finally, Halo 3. The third part in what is to be a five part series. Halo three is a science fiction, futuristic war game. In campaign you are the supernatural Master Chief, who's mission is to blow up the Halo rings. You go around space and to other planets driving unormal vehicles, and shooting aliens with amazing somewhat normal guns, and extremely unormal alien guns. That's only half of the story. The best part of the game is the online multiplayer. It also has a leveling system and achievments that unlock cool customizable armors. There are many different match types and alot of cool maps to play on. Halo 3 is one of the few games to get rated a 5 out 5 on Xplay. Halo 3 will be a fierce competitor.

Two of my Top Five Games
I want to start out with the two games that are not for online play. They would be Donkey Kong, " Shocker", and Infamous, also a shocker, but in a different way.
Donkey Kong was released in 1981, made by Nintendo. The unusual thing about this game is that the player played to defeat Donkey Kong the ape, not to play as him. The players would play as Mario who would later become a hit and leave Donkey Kong to play with some bongos, as in Donkey Konga, and be in the cast of some Mario games. The object of this game was to avoid the barrels that Donkey Kong threw down the ladders and platforms while trying to get to the top. Other thing such as fireballs would try to stop Mario, but if you were lucky, you would find a hammer that would help solve that problem. Now why would Mario want to climb to the top and knock DK off of the highest platform. To save Pauline, Mario's girl. That's right, not Princes Peach. People still think that the girl that was geting strangeled by Donkey Kong was Peach. Why they added Peach to the mix of it all and took out Pauline, I dont know.
Now for Infamous. I have played this game for a total of about 30 seconds at a target, and I was amazed. I took the lead character Cole, flew off of a MAGLEV train useing electric powers, did a flip, jumped and held on to a street lamp, and fried a citizen. I"m not to familiar with the story, but from what I can tell, Cole knew that for some reason he had to steal an electric bomb, that blew up anyways. The world was then toasted, not having much effect on anyone but Cole. Cole had electric powers. The goverment was overthrown and left with no power. The world was an anarchy. The story mode is filled with drama and can be changed, according to how you completed your missions. You can choose from evil ways that will benefit yourself, or heroic ways that will benefit others. This game, along with a PS3 to play it on, will for sure, be on my Christmas list

My Articles
My three articles are about three of the games out of my top five that I haven't played but for a few minutes, or wasn't familiar with. Those three games would be Donkey Kong, because it is ancient, Infamous, because I don't own a PS3, and Modern Warfare 2, because it hasn't be released yet.
My first article was on Modern Warfare 2, and how it has a record breaking preorderd count. To preorder is to order the game before it has been released, to where you have a slip, take it to the store and they give you the game. Sometimes when you preorder games you get a free tee shirt or a special copy of the game or some kind of bonus. The game is predicted to have sold over $500 million dollars within the first week of sales. The game cost $60 and comes out November 10th.
My Second Article was a review on Infamous. It talks about the movement of the character, combat, moral choices that effect the game, mission types, and a killer story line. GameSpot Gave Infamous a 9 out of 10
My 3rd and last article was written from a guy who helped make the original Donkey Kong. The guy never reveals his name in the article. It talks about stress, the making of Atari and some of his other jobs that involve,Robotron and Pacman.

Top 5 Games
I have done my research, and narrowed it down to the top five video games of all time. They are, The old Donkey Kong, World of WarCraft, Infamous, Modern Warfare 2,
and Halo 3. Donkey Kong is an old game that was it's own machine and then played on the Atari. World of Warcraft is a massive online game played only on the computer. It has many expansions like, Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, and soon Cataclysm. Infamous is made by a popular company name Sucker Punch. Infamous only is playable on the PS3. Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The Call of Duty franchise is a complex system. Modern Warfare 2 is playable on PS3, Xbox 360, maybe psp later on, and a different version based on the same thing will release on the Wii. Finally, Halo 3. The third part in what is to be a five part series. That is unless Bunjie or Microsoft, the two makers of the game, back out. Halo 3 has a somewhat of an expansion that just released called Halo 3: ODST, or Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. The Freshmen class,aka Quinton, has been talking about this expansion for about a week now. ODST has more maps, a different campaign, and firefight, but I will talk more about that in a different blog. Halo 3 can only be played on the Xbox 360.Those are the five games. Let the battle begin!
