Too good to review

Its been 8 days and I finished it and I really don't know how to do this, because this game is just a remake. Though it is more than just a remake since they did do a graphics and some gameplay overhaul. The gameplay overhaul is the great usage of the touch screen. I mean the water temple wasn't as much as a hassle, because the water temple wasn't that hard originally, it was just the monotony of having to press start every time you had to take off the iron boots. Another gameplay aspect was the use of the gyroscope for the arrows and slingshot. The graphics improvement was just so great, and the 3d was just icing on the cake.
So I am not going to give a traditional review, I am just going to say this buy this game if you have a 3ds. If you have played it before ( as I have) it doesn't matter it is just such a great game. The original sold 2.5 million copies in 1998 despite only being released 39 days before the new year. Obviously I am going to rate it but not give a reason behind it. Though there should not be much reason behind it besides it is just one of the greatest games of all time. So last but not least, here is the scoring.
Overall 10.0 out of 10.0
That is it for the review, so thanks a lot for reading it, (if you read it).

New Game? What could it be?

Yep Legend of Zelda OOT

I have just got this game so wait a little bit before I actually get a review. I am really sorry that I took a break from the site, but what can I say its summer. So after that tiny hiatus, I think the best thing would be a review of OOT, am I right? So over the next few days I am going to be playing the crap out of this game to be able to review it for you guys. So until I finish, just keep waiting.

Excitebike Mini Review!

I have recently downloaded the e-shop and got my free goodies. I played the crap out of excitebike on my emulator, so having it on my 3ds = awesome.

The first thing I noticed was that it was compatible with 3d (the 3d sign was lit up on the slider). So I was a bit skeptical, seeing how it was a really old game. I was really surprised on how great it looked in 3d. It plays great with the nub(analog stick). I would say since this is free and all you have to do to get it is update your 3ds and go to the e-shop, why wouldn't you download it?

I am waiting for the LOZ:OOT remake until I do a full review of it. I hope that one day some big company (ign, kotaku, or even gamespot) will read my reviews and ask me to make reviews on their site.

Guys The Site is Back From the Grave

This Photo should sum up how it is...

Now I am sorry I have been away for a while, its just because of school and all of that crappy stuff. But its summer and E3 is coming up(secretly hating DirecTV for getting rid of G4). So I might talk about some stuff on that on my other blog. One last thing hopefully on the 25th or 26th my friends and I are going to be having a marathon for Child's Play so I will keep all of you up on this.

Its been a while...

Sorry about not posting for a while, but with school all of you know how that is. I should be back and posting at least once a day in one week. Also check back so you can learn when the charity event will start for Child's Play. It is going to be a great week of videogame playing.

I am sorry that I did not get the Portal 2 review up when I said, but guess what... I finally made it. Check out the full review over at WhatTheNerdReviews. Guess what else, you can get Portal 2 for about 35.00 at amazon right now. I really recommend doing it.

Review of Something that is not Portal 2

Check out WhatTheNerdReviews for a review of a game that is sort of old. YEAH for Procrastinating.... So yeah check it out. Also really try to get the word out about this blog, and the other one. Check back later tonight for the review of wait for it..... PORTAL 2

WhatTheNerd

New Site! Yes another site...

Seeing how I am thinking about posting a review about Portal 2, which unfortunately was not on the 3ds. So seeing how it is not a 3ds game I figured "Hmm, Portal 2 is not on the 3ds so why am I putting it on a blog about the 3ds? If I want to give reviews about games on other systems I should make another blog. A blog that deals with any system, and is not restricted to just the 3ds. It should be called What The Nerd Reviews", and so I did. What The Nerd Reviews, is basically a news site/ review site about any console. 3ds reviews, will still be up, but don't expect me to update this site as much as I used too. So everyone follow What The Nerd Reviews,  immediately and tell everyone you know. Tell your friends, tell your family, heck even tell grandparents (you know if they are like ultra cool hipster grandparents that like videogames and the such). Remember to change where you go to get your videogame news (p.s. it should be WTNR). Oh yeah follow me on twitter @mrwhatthenerd, (<---- That's a link to my twitter page)

Just a Link Basically

Well, I am just going to say basically check out my other site I am working on, What The Comic. I still have not really made an entire comic yet, but its o.k. you can check out one piece of concept art... O.k. I know it is not much but I have a lot on my plate right now with school, finishing Portal 2, and then trying to draw comics. So I am sorry if I do not update as much as I regularly do. So remember check back during the weekend to see my review of Portal 2...

Still No Review Yet

Another short blog post, sorry but I haven't played through Portal 2 yet. I really haven't had time in the past few days, but I am expecting to finish it by this weekend. I may end up bringing my PS3 to my cousin's house this weekend (different cousin, but he does have a PS3). I am probably going to get a review up by this weekend, but I have a feeling you really want to know if you should get this game or not, you definitely should if you a. enjoyed the first one ,b. you enjoy puzzle games ,or c. enjoy cake. If you didn't get that joke or didn't even know there was a joke, go buy portal 1 on steam if your computer can handle it.

PSN still out

I really wanted to put the review of Portal 2 up today, but seeing how I need to finish it/ play the co-op part, I really don't want to have an incomplete review. So once PSN gets back online and I get around to finishing Portal 2, which I have spent about 18+ hours playing it ( about 6 of those spent replaying to where I got in the first 12, because I visited my relatives and I replayed it to where I originally was). Like I originally said I will get a full on review up when I finish it/ play some online. Expect it later this week.

My website when I get my own tablet...

Well I have a concept site, What the Comic, I haven't payed for a full-on domain name yet, for the basic reason that I don't have a big enough fanbase, and I haven't made any comics yet. But don't worry when I make enough money off of this blog I should be able to buy a tablet and all of our worries will be gone. For the time being just expect scans, and one weird thing I should probably say is that I really don't have a drawing style down yet, and I am really pulling a lot of my drawing style, for the time being anyways, from Penny Arcade, basically because I love the way Gabe draws. I am hoping to get that style down soon enough... So basically expect some crappy scans for the time being.

WhatTheNerd

Bought Portal 2

So far I am still setting up a website, so I am thinking of good names for it. On another note I have bought Portal 2 so expect the review coming in the next few days. One problem I am having though is that, PSN decided to have "maintenance", so I will probably post when they are back up. I need help with names so if you guys could post in the comment part it would really help me out a bunch.

Back to Aperture Laboratories for some GLaDOS - post portal 1 hate.

Just something really fast, freaking colors is screwing up on the 3ds so I may not use that to make comics after all

Wow, really PSN?

I have got word during school that the PSN is freaking down. This is a three day weekend, and I was hoping to get Portal 2 for the PS3 and hopefully play Co-Op with my friend TrevorisEpic(Trevor in real life). But no PSN decides to go black for up to TWO DAYS, I am lucky this a three day weekend because I will be able to play at least one day. At least it will give me time to catch up on my drawing, which is sort of funny to me that I am using colors on a ds, and my blog is about ds's. Well I might have a comic up soon, and I might not, depends on how good it looks.


Angrily,
WhatTheNerd

Wow, I really need a new game...

I obviously already have a new game, Street Fighter, but I want one with a story line. I am probably going to get the Orange Box, if I can find it for $15, MGS4 (again if its for $15), but probably I will get Portal 2. I really feel like I am just going in a complete circle into what I talked about yesterday.

So if I get Portal 2 expect a review, and also expect a new comic site from me if I can find a way to draw the comics. I am probably going to use colors on my older ds for the time being. I hated having a post this short, but I am tired and can't think of anything to talk about, so I might add another post later. So follow me on the Tweeters I am @MrWhatTheNerd.


WhatTheNerd

Hmmm What to Say, What to Say

Well I really hate to say this, but I have basically nothing to say. I am hoping to buy the Orange Box for Ps3, I am really, I mean REALLY, late on getting the game. I really don't care, but I am looking for a cheap price for it. Gamestop is selling it for like 30 bucks, and Sears is out of stock, but selling it for about 20 bucks. I am doing this so I can play Portal before I play Portal 2. I do have it on Steam and I got it for free, but my laptop legitimately sucks when it comes to games. I have played maybe the first few levels of Portal, and loved it. It is really far up on my list when it comes to puzzle games.

Well something else I am really trying to do is get my comic drawing up to par on what I need it to be. I am getting ok at it but really suck at eyes. I do have a scanner but no tablet when it comes to inking the sketches, so it will take me a while to ink them for I will have to do it by a mouse. I don't know if I am going to be drawing the comics though, so I am really looking at my friends to draw for me. I really don't know if they are up to it though so I am doing so many tutorials to hone my drawing skills.

That is really about it for me, I can't think of anything else to say except.... wait for it.... I bet you know whats coming. Follow, comment, and read my earlier stories. Also follow me on twitter I am @mrwhatthenerd.

Wii2 Rumors, Power Pak+ mini review, and not much more

So I am extremely tired so I am sorry for any mistakes in this posting. If anyone was wondering I did have a great time this weekend, and also tired from it. The trip ended up helping me test my Power Pak+, and I have to say it is extremely needed if you get/have a 3ds. It improves battery life by so much, I would not have needed to charge it at all this weekend, but I went on the safe side and went ahead and charged it. I met someone with streetpass on, and I now am currently in possession of his mii.

The Wii2 rumors are kind of getting funny with how crazy some of them have gotten. The rumors have stemmed from, the controller having a screen that streams whole games, to the controller having a ipad like screen. The Nintendo Wii has just had a price drop to 169.99. I truthfully think that we will see the Wii2 at E3 this year.

So I said earlier the thing about the Power Pak+, and I really think it the best accessory for the 3ds right now. I really don't think anything can top it, but maybe I'll be surprised. It really does double the battery life, which is helpful for those long car rides. I played it for about 1 to 2 hours before I took a break, and it didn't even drop a battery line on the little graphical battery in the top corner. I was really surprised how well it worked, I didn't even shut if off that much this weekend, I just kept it on and closed. 

Not much more to say really except, read, comment, and follow. Also follow me on twitter I am @whatthenerd.

Really late update

I have a really short update, I finally got my power pak+. Will have a review of it sometime soon, I hope at least. If I have time this weekend with everything I have going on, I may update. Though like I said in an earlier post, don't expect it. I really didn't have time today to post anything here, so I am sorry but expect more soon I guess. It should pick back up on Monday. Again I am sorry I can't post this weekend, and if I do it will probably be as short as a tweet. Which that reminds me my twitter is now @whatthenerd , Which is my common username so I really am glad I got to get that name on there. Thanks again for reading!
