30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 30 - Your favorite game of all time.
Honestly I cannot choose just one game to name my favorite. I just can’t. There are just too many games out there and I like a lot of them. I’ll take the cheesey approach and say my favorite game is the next one I play because each game I play I love for its certain qualities and story. As long as it’s good and its down right fun, it...

Day 29 - A game you thought you wouldn’t like, but ended up loving.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
I was never big on tactical shooters. I did play the 1st G.R.A.W and was not really impressed. Somehow I jumped on G.R.A.W 2 and for some reason I loved it and it really improved my gaming skills. Since the game is more realistic I had to be more patient and figure out quickly how to assess...

Day 28 - Favorite game developer.
Bungie (Oni, Marathon, Myth, Halo)
Bungie has to be one of the greatest game developers out there. Not only did they make a franchise that will define an era in video game history but they also paved the way for first person shooters in this new age of gaming. If I become a game designer this is the place I want to be.

Day 27 - Most epic scene ever
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Nuke scene.
Even though Nuclear explosions aren’t that epic, how could you not think that when you stayed behind to save a crashed helicopter pilot from being a P.O.W and doing so with knowing that you had to get out of the immediate area at that exact moment and when you are thinking you saved the day a nuclear bomb goes off...

Day 26 - Best voice acting.
Half-Life 2
This game has incredible voice acting. When you are playing the in game cutscenes the characters have life to them, not to mention sound like a real person too.

Day 25 - A game you plan on playing.
Duke Nukem Forever
Obviously I plan on playing this game, I mean I’ve only been waiting 12 years for this game. The KING is back baby!
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 24 - Favorite classic game
Banjo-Kazooie
I LOVED this game when I was growing up. Best damn platformer I have ever played and I remember buying a used N64 so I could play Banjo-Kazooie again. Luckily, since Mircrosoft bought Rare and made Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts I now have both Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie on my Xbox Live Arcade.
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 23 - Game you think had the best graphics or art style.
Assassins Creed Brotherhood
Assassins Creed really set the bar for graphics right now. Its amazing how realistic Ubisoft made Renaissance Rome look. Not to mention how much detail everything is. Its incredible really.

Day 22 - A game sequel which disappointed you
Halo 2
I don’t hate this game but what I think disappointed me most was the fact that they advertised this game was gonna be set on Earth except you only had 2 missions on earth. Then I really thought playing as the Arbiter was cool up until you were playing as him more than Master Chief. Finally the biggest let down was the actual ending...
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 21 - Game with the best story
Mass Effect/Mass Effect 2/Mass Effect 3
If you really want a great story play the Mass Effect Trilogy and get all the DLC’s. Once Mass Effect 3 comes out the story will be complete and you will have over 200 hours of story and gameplay to get through which you will not want to stop playing. Bioware really knows how to tell a story, if you don’t...
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 20 - Favorite Genre
First Person Shooter (FPS)
It definitely has to be FPS because 80% of the games I play are FPS’s like Halo, Call of Duty, Left 4 Dead, Battlefield, etc. First Person really immerses you into the game as well and gets you really involved in the action and story. FPS is where it’s at man!
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 19 - Picture of a game setting you wish you lived in.
Fallout 3
I find the post-apocalyptic future interesting. I love to live in a setting where there is no simple pleasures in life, all there is just to survive and see the next day. I would find it that much more enjoyable than todays world.
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 18 - Favorite Protagonist
John Marston (Red Dead Redemption)
I started playing RDR just a few weeks ago and I must I’m really like John. As far as I can tell, he’s a family man. He’s out there trying to a big time bounty for the safety of his wife and son and he wont stop tell he knows that they are safe and for that I can respect this character.
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 17 - Favorite Antagonist
Zombies (Resident Evil, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty, RDR: Undead Nightmare)
Zombies these days are the ultimate enemy. They’re dead, they want brains, and only die when shot in the head. Games like Resident Evil and Left 4 Dead truly take the reigns as THE zombie game to be when it comes to these foes. Now we are seeing almost every game utilize a zombie foe...
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 16 - Game with the best cut scenes.
Mass Effect 2
Obviously this game is driven by story so obviously it has, in my opinion, the best cut scenes in a game especially since your so involved emotionally cause it deals with your character and your choices that you’re making. The Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC cut scenes are phenomenal as well because it truly feels like a movie is going...
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 15 - Post a screenshot from the game you’re playing right now.
Red Dead Redemption
Rockstar truly out-did themselves. Bravo!
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 14 - Current (or most recent) gaming wallpaper.
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 13 - A game you’ve played more than five times.
Halo Combat Evolved
This game is the reason why I have an Xbox in the first place. This game truly changed me as a gamer and I know for a fact I played this game more than 5 times. I played it on Easy, Normal, Heroic, Legendary, I know I played it on co-op with my buddy so many times, and not to mention the multiplayer. For this generation...
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 12 - A game everyone should play.
Dead Space 1 & 2
This game is absolutely amazing. The first Dead Space was underrated when it first came out but I’m glad EA saw a potential in this franchise. Play Dead Space Extraction for the Wii as well, that Prequel really sets up the events in Dead Space 1 which is a great play through and then go on to play Dead Space 2 where everything...
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 11 - Gaming system of choice. Xbox 360I chose the 360 because In my opinion it’s the best console out there. It’s a great system you have the best online service you can buy and with that service you can play online games, download arcade games, full 360 games, Xbox originals, rent or buy movies or tv shows, music videos, Netflix, Facebook, and twitter. It also has great exclusives...
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 10 - Best gameplay
Story-wise: Gears of War 2
Multiplayer-wise: Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 2/Black Ops)
I couldn’t just choose one game for this, I believe there is a certain style to gameplay in just the Campaign/Single Player than there is in Multiplayer. I chose Gears of War 2 for Story gameplay because I thought it was a vast improvement from the first. The controls were...
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 9 - Saddest game scene.
Dead Island Announcement Trailer
This trailer says it all. Clink the link and watch.
WrestleMania 28, April 1st 2012 in Miami Florida.
Team Bring It vs. CeNation
The Peoples Champion vs. The Champ
The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment vs. The CeNation Commander-in-Chief
Biggest match in WrestleMania history since the WrestleMania 18 match between Hulk Hogan and The Rock. Finally WWE has given me hope.
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 8 - Best soundtrack.
Halo Series
I must say, Martin O’ Donnell and Michael Salvatori are brilliant. Not only is the music they created smooth and relaxing, but they created a score that makes the Halo series what it is today. The music helps tells the story, and tells you the emotion around the characters. In my opinion, best soundtrack for a game series ever.
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 7 - Favorite game couple.
Master Chief & Cortana (Halo Series)
She chose him as her carrier to aid in the Battle of Reach. Trust and loyalty are fundamental elements of any good relationship, and these two are balls-deep in trust and loyalty. No matter what, Master Chief and his holographic artificial-intelligence girlfriend stick by each other. Even when the Gravemind had Cortana...
30 Days of Gaming Challenge
Day 6 - Most annoying character.
That one guy in Multiplayer that spawn camps and snipes you in the distance.
I honestly don’t have an “Annoying Character” that I can recall, but I do know there is that one guy in a Multiplayer game where he stand backs and snipes you every time you turn that corner or that every time you spawn he is right behind you with a shotgun and all...
