  Bringing Back the Handheld into my gaming life.

  For The Love of Handhelds

  Its been well about 3 years since i last owned a handheld. The last handheld i had was the Nintendo DS. I used to play it soo much, day in and day out. My Favorite game for it was Animal Crossing Wild World. I had well over 30 Games for the Nintendo DS, leaving it to be my record for most games owned for a single system.

  I eventually went on to selling most of my games, keeping my favorite ones with me. I am left with only 6 games and no DS. I recently went online a week or so ago and found that the Nintendo 3DS was being sold used for only 112$ in good condition. I took the offer and bought it .

  The main reason why i bought the Nintendo 3DS is because a couple of my favorite games are coming out for it.

  1. Paper Mario Sticker Star

  2 Luigi's Mansion Dark moon

  3. ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF (YEAHHHHH!!!)

  4. Pokemon X

  Those are the main games i was most interested in. Mainly Animal Crossing. I have been playing Animal crossing since it first came out on gamecube. I fell in love with it. Then in 2005 it came out for the DS. I couldnt keep my hands of it. I played it everyday for 4 years straight. Yeah Then the Wii version came out. I didnt like it too much. Now that Animal Crossing is coming back to handhelds and it looks soo good I cant wait to get it!!. That is the main reason why i bought a Nintendo 3DS.

  

  Now Luigi's Mansion caught my attention fast. I played the first one when it came out in early 2000 for the gamecube. Now that it is paying a nice visit to the handheld Nintendo 3DS, it is a must have on my list.

  Paper Mario is one of my Favorite nintendo series. This is another series where i have owned (and stil own) every single Paper Mario game so far (except for Paper Mario sticker star of course). That is why i must have a 3DS in order to own the next one .

  Pokemon is self explanatory.

  I am very happy to be coming back to handheld gaming. It was my favorite style of gaming for years and years. Xbox always has a place in my heart but handheld gaming such as the gameboy, Nintendo DS, PSP, etc. will deffinatly be finding a spot in my life soon.

  Loving Borderlands 2

  BORDERLANDS 2!

  I am pretty sure that i am about half way if not more into Borderlands 2. I have got to say it is one amazing game. The graphics and colors just WOW me in such a great way. I did what i said i was going to do and stuck with the Commando Class. I started with the survival skill tree and i absolutely LOVE it! The turret has really improved in this game and it fits my choice of guns (shot guns and Assaul Rifles).

  The characters in this game are a lot more developed now. Lilith, Mordecai, Brick and Roland all have a story to them and i love it. The voice acting is great and the game has me laughing almost all the time. Speaking of funny, claptrap is halarious in this game. The enemies and bad guys are a lot tougher now but as long as you stick to side missions more often and maintain your level then you should be alright.

  The weopons in this game have me impressed. I Just recently found a rare grenade but it was not just any grenade! It was a slag grenade and it does like 860 x 6 grenade damage and when it explodes 9 more grenades come flying out of it. You don't see that anywhere else haha. I love the assault rifles a lot better in this game than in the last. They are much more fun to use.

  I dont want to leave out the choices of faces and outfit colors. I think this was a great idea. That way not everyone will look the same when playing online. Also you get a head skin for playing through Borderlands 1 so i thought that was pretty cool! The colors to the outfit skin are really nice and i love the fact that you can go out and find more colors throughout your journey.

  I Gave this game an easy 9/10 because I love a lot of things about it. There are some negatives but ima leave that to actual game reviewers to talk about that. I will just stick with the Positives.!

  Well that concludes my Blog! Hope you guys enjoyed. Happy Gaming.
