Taking a Glance at Gaming's Past

Hello all my fellow gamers and non gamers out there. This is the Game Guru again, always here to keep you guys in the know as to what the gaming world has to offer. This has definitely been a pretty strange week so far, with the weather starting to take a turn for the warm. It looks as if we are starting to get a taste of that summer heat, huh. Boy does mother nature have a strange sense of humor. Overall though I'm just glad it hasn't been too bad of a week. But anyway, let's get down to business.

As I had mentioned near the beginning of this blog, one of the things that I would plan to do is game reviews. When I say this though, I don't mean what I normally have been doing. It's time to take a look at some games that have already been released for a change. For this part of the blog, I'm simply going to call it, Back Track the Classics. How this will work is each time I do this, I will pick one or a few games that I have either recently played, or have played before, and give you my thoughts about the game. Sounds simple enough right? Before we get to the games though, I will say ahead of time that these reviews are my own personal thoughts about the games so its understandable if anyone doesn't fully agree with what I will say. Ok, with that out of the way, lets get down to it, shall we?

This first game I want to take a look at is Custom Robo for the Gamecube

 

 

 

For those who don't know much about the game, Here's a little bit about it. You control the main character that lives in the world of Robo Battles. Through the use of holo-technology, people from all over are able to battle using these robotic battle suits. Players are able to customize their robo with different weapons and parts to have their own style of battling. WHen it comes to my experience with the game, the one thing that I like the most about it is the variety the customization adds to the game. It gives players a chance to try out different things, so as to see what their personal style of battling is like, which attracts the interest of the gamer just a bit more. I have loved playing this game for a while and encourage anyone interesting in trying the game out to go for it. Custom Robo is one of those games that is definitely worth your while.

 

 

The next, and last game I want to look into has a bit more to do with sports, specifically the game of soccer. Now I'm sure that when I say this, a fair decent amount of you may be thinking that when I say this I'm talking about FIFA. But on the contrary, I am taking things to somewhere a bit less realistic. Another one of my favorite classic games that is also for the Nintendo Gamecube is Super Mario Strikers.

 





 





For all of those Mario world fans out there, Mario and the gang enter the world of soccer like you have never seen them before. As the video puts it, its like Mario Kart meets Soccer. The game is fun to play and has been a highlight of my gaming life from the first time I picked it up. Although I don't have any problems with regular soccer, I personally feel this game is a bit more fun. One aspect of the game that I like the most about it is the competitiveness the game brings out, while still maintaining its fun animated theme about it. The game is fun to play and pretty easy to start into. Anyone willing to try the game out, I encourage you to. You'll be surprised at how fun the game can really be.

 

 

Well, that's about it for today's Back Track of the Classics. Stay tuned for the next back track when I talk about some games with a bit more action oriented focus. Also, if there are any questions you guys might have, or anything you may want to be seen covered on this blog, feel free to leave a comment with your feedback. I love to know what you guys have on your mind about games and I will do my best to share with you my thoughts as well.

 

Until next time, definitely be careful with how the weather has been lately. If it is pretty bad out like how it is here, try to stay cool, and stay inside. This is the game guru, signing off.
