Pokemon X and Y

For weeks Nintendo has been teasing a "huge announcement" regarding Pokemon.  Well, finally they announced it.  Introducing Pokemon X and Y!  These games are the next installment of games in the main Pokemon series.  The really exciting part is that they are the first Pokemon games released for the 3DS!  Nintendo released a small trailer about the game showing off the new (and awesome) 3D look as well as the 3 three starters for the 6th generation!  Pokemon X and Y are getting released in October of this year!

10 Video Games You Need To Play Before You Die!

Welcome to the last part of Cullination's Apocalyptic Weekend! 

10 video games you need to play before you die! (in no particular order)

1. Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 

This is a classic game that everyone loves.  It is what started the huge 3-D "boom' in video games.  It is purhaps the greatest Legend of Zelda game and could be the greatest game ever made!  If you have not heard of this game then you have obviously been living under a rock all these years!  If you did not play this game before then you better play it as soon as you can because it is a classic.  Even if you have played it and beat it, then just play it again because I'm sure that you would agree that it is that kind of game when you just want to play it over and over again.

2.  Super Mario 64

Another classic of a game that helped launch the making of 3-D games.  In Super Mario 64 you played as Mario as you wander around Princess Peach's castle painting jumping in search of Bowser.  It really is an amazing game that everyone truly enjoys.

3.  Super Mario Galaxy 2

Ever since Nintendo released Super Mario 64, Nintendo started to release "sequels" on game consuls that came after the N64.   On the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo introduced the very first true sequel to one of those games.  Super Mario Galaxy 2 takes Mario in space as he jumps from planet to planet in search of his foe, Bowser.  The artwork and music in this game are simply amazing.

4.  Banjo Kazooie

In the 90's, Rare (a video game publisher) was on fire!  Thanks to Rare, Nintendo released classic game after classic game.  Banjo Kazooie was one of those games.  You control a honey bear with his bird friend as you collect puzzle pieces.  I know that doesn't sound like much fun, but trust me...it is a game you must play before you die!

5.  Metroid Prime Trilogy

These games were huge hits since the first Metroid Prime on Gamecube!  They were a first person shooter game as the player used Samus to shoot space pirates and a darker version of herself.  The games are so great that I decided to include all three of the games on this list!

6.  Chrono Trigger

This game was originally released for Super Nintendo System.  Even in today's standards of video games it is amazing!  The graphics were so good even for today (20 years later).  The story is one of the best out there and mind bottling!  This game has it all and is a must play!

7.  Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

The real sequel to Ocarina of Time.  This game is not as good as Ocarina of Time, but it is still considered one of the best Zelda games ever.  This game stole the heart of so many people after they watched that moon get bigger and bigger!  It has a huge place in my heart.

8.  Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

The most recent legend of Zelda game.  This is important to play before you die because it reveals the story of how Link's most dangerous foe comes to be!  The birth of Ganondorf!  This game is also so much fun to play, except for the tears in the silent realm!

9.  Luigi's Mansion

In all Mario games you always hear about Mario's brother.  Luigi always plays second fiddle to his brother.  You must play this game before you die because it switches things around a bit!  Now Luigi has to go and save Mario!  This is a pretty good game.  My only complaint is that it is too short of a great game.  Hopefully the soon to be released sequel will be a bit longer.

10.  Star Fox 64

Another great game released for the N64!  StarFox is the first really good game featuring the character, Fox McCloud.  This game was so good and memorable that Nintendo released a remake of the game for their Nintendo 3DS.  After playing the remake, it is still a great game and you need to play it before you die!

So how did you like the list?  Sound off in the comment section below to tell us!  We love fan feedback!  Hope you enjoyed our Apocalyptic Weekend and enjoy your holidays!
