Mr.M'sT10F(o)CG - #10 - Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 1&2

Mr. Method's Top 10 Favorite (ongoing) Childhood Games - #10 - Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 1&2 (Dreamcast, N64, PS - PS1, PS2, N64, PC ) 

When I was nine, I used to play in the sandbox all the time. I'd take our gardening hose and erect a volcano-shaped hill right in the center and have my army men go at it. There'd be glorious causalities on the green side and the tan side, and the battles would always result in the island's volcano erupting and wasting the entire battlefield. It was amazing. Flash forward two years later for me to discover a video game where you get to actually be an army man. It blew my mind.

Sarge's Heroes holds a dear place in my heart. It's definitely a guilty pleasure. The gameplay?..not innovative. The graphics?...pretty terrible. Storyline?..bland. Fun factor?...through the roof! The thing about Sarge's Heroes is the simple fact that you get to be an army man. Something about that tapped into me playing in the sandbox and still gets me to this day. The best part was; I could be fighting in a refrigerator, on a pool table...you name it. The game brought your imaginations to life. Plus, I was freaking amazing at the game. Which got no one to play multiplayer with me because I would always win. Of course.

As a side note, why was the only girl the one to have skin...that's...y'know...Caucasian? And not green? Anywho...

That's why Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 1&2 for the Nintendo 64 is on my #10 spot.
What's yours?

The Best 20 Games Of All Time #20

#20 Kid Icarus: Uprising - Nintendo 3DS 2011

As the only handheld game on my list, this game meets some fantastic expectations. This is the one of the few games on my list I love for its genuine light banter. Lady Palutena is a fantastic motherly figure with some very humorous and sarcastic comments. Pit is definitely that adolescent teenage boy that has some false confidence like all the rest of us. The goddess Viridi is absolutely hysterical, since she is played by the same woman who plays the voice of Princess Bubblegum in the show Adventure Time With Finn and Jake. She makes the game after the ninth level much more enjoyable. The controls perfectly suit the 3DS (for those without a Circle Pad Pro) and are easily customized. The on-rails sky battle portion of the game is executed perfectly. The multiplayer section is done very well and there are hundreds of weapons that are all different (in stats) and rival Borderlands, just on a lesser scale. It's surprising how exciting it is to get a new weapon after a match. Fusing weapons is a great addition to make your arsenal the most power one you know of. And once you start, you can't stop. The graphics are the best I've seen on the 3DS and no detail is spared. Every burst, bullet, enemy, and 3D is filled with color and detail. The first game I got on my 3DS and it is still my favorite game of the bunch. Nintendo, I'm proud to put this game on the list.

Chell - Portal 1&2

Chell is one of those characters, though she doesn't say a word, she's so loud. When playing a game like Portal, you would expect a male protagonist. Since it seems very sci-fi and nerdy, its quite the surprise that you character ends up being a woman. And as you go through both Portal games, you find that running gag of "Hello? Can you hear me?" Since Chell is mute you don't hear much about her personal life from herself. But you find to learn that Chell was dropped at Aperture Science's doorstep and was not loved by her parents. You even find yourself thinking if she is even able to talk. But her impression of destruction is left in a big way. She destroys GlaDoS without a single weapon. And you feel for her, as GlaDoS constantly teases her on her inability to express emotion. Chell is the perfect fit for my top ten heroes list.

#10 Villain: The Creeper - Minecraft

When one walks through the world of Minecraft, there is one sight you never want to see. That hissing noise that chills you to the bone. The Creeper is the ultimate home-wrecking terrorist of Minecraft. Once night befalls upon you, and you see that first Creeper, you sprint towards your house, planting as many lights as possible. He destroys countless hours of work in a single explosion, making you recreate all you hard work. Poor Steve. The home-wrecking Creeper deserves a well "earned" last spot on my list.

Welcome. Don't Be Hating.

Well hello there. My name is Mr. Trials and that's all you need to know. I'm here to express my personal feelings on music, movies, TV shows, books, and video games. I prefer to go for the name of Mr. Trials because I know if I reveal my real name, my personal life will be filled with terrible people looking to kick my butt for saying something they don't agree with. I don't plan for that to happen. But if you have a LEGITIMATE quarrel with me, email me. My email is mrtrials97@gmail.com. And personally, I don't care if your favorite game wasn't my favorite, so keep that to yourself. One more thing before I continue, everything I write about will be from things that ONLY I have played or seen. To start, I shall post my personal opinions for the best villains from heroes from video games, and the best video games of all time. Starting today, I will count from ten to one. One being the best, ten being... tenth best. The games will be presented from twenty to one because twenty is better than ten.
