Cameron and Orange Jinjo’s list of the 5 Useful and Useless Classic Megaman Weapons

Yes, cjszero01 has decided to do a co-list with a youtube friend named MisterOrangeJinjo. This list is primarily about the classic Megaman weapons that do more than just slaughter the enemies in your path. It’s about the weapons that can be used for another function or that allow Megaman to do things he couldn’t do on his own. Of course for the useless list these are the weapons we felt that you would better off with your default mega buster. Enjoy.

Cameron’s 10 Personal Favorite Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie Music Tracks

It’s finally time to give Banjo and Kazooie their long over due top ten list. Doing a top ten list for this series seems a bit generic as the only things that strongly define the Banjo-Kazooie series are worlds, how to get jiggies, and characters (though the characters might get their own list someday). Of course ask anyone who’s played these games and they’ll tell you the music tracks truely stand out from everything else (except Banjo-Tooie). So with that in mind here are my 10 favorite Banjo-Kazooie and the few I liked from Tooie music tracks, enjoy.

Mickey Mouses Castle Of Illusion To Get A Reboot?

Disney have recently slipped up on the internet with registering a trademark for ‘Castle of Illusion’, the was Mickeys first major tile back on the megadrive back in the 90′s

We came across the trademark application, thanks to the guys at siliconera.com that shows the listing relates to the video game.

If Disney is planning to re-release the title, it may be only released on the Wii Virtual console due to some licencing issues and it already hosts many Mega Drive classics.  But, it could even have a HD reboot. Whilst others have speculated that this relates to the rumoured sequel to ‘Epic Mickey’.

Hopefully soon Disney will confirm that Mickey will be making a return to our digital downloading consoles.

Cameron’s 10 Personal Favorite References in video games

I don’t know about you but when a game references something it can become very memorable. Think about it how many references do you remember about the games you played? I’ve thought of so many I just had to make a list about it. Of course for this list it’s only fun if they reference something outside of it’s own series.

A few people to thank:

BigBossMan538 for the idea.

EspioThief for helping me get the footage for Star Wars BattleFront 2 on the Xbox.

Ratchet and Clank wiki for the pictures

ih8u8 for the audio clip for the Darth Maul reference (EspioThief and I played for almost an hour but the line never came up so I recorded it for ih8u8’s video)

Here’s the video for the Ratchet and Clank scene thanks to youtube user goodcowgames, Enjoy.

Reviewed: Sonic CD

Sonic The Hedgehog CD is looked at as either being one of the best in the franchise, or the most overrated. It’s full of great ideas with some untapped potential and flooded with many road blocks. Personally I’m curious if Sonic 2 was put on a Compact Disc if it would have a re-orchestrated soundtrack.
Pros: Special stages are quite fun, Super Peel out is a nice new move, Quartz Quadrant and Stardust Speedway are fun paced enjoyable levels, the time traveling mechanic can give you four different levels in one.
Cons: Finding the generators can come off as backtracking, a lot of the levels don’t have that Sonic flow to them, Bosses are WAY to pathetic, Spindash needs to be fully charged before it works, not much of a level design difference between good and bad futures,Wacky Workbench.

Video: Cameron’s 10 Personal Favorite StarFox Planets… by default

With a list so limited, how can your favorite not land on this list… as long as you’ve been to it.

For the record I don’t count the Aparoid homeworld as a planet as it’s just a half sphere with tunnels.

Music for Macbeth and Fortuna were recorded from Renegade466isback’s youtube videos, big props to him.

Enjoy.
