Hello, as it says in my YO! and in the Q&A I make some computer games and I wanted to tell you about my newest one, Its called Super Mario Region Pwned!
For those of you who don't know what Pwned is of even how to pronounce it it means:"Player Owned" of "beaten by the person your playing (in a video game)" and it pronounced "Poned" why you use a "W" I don't know!
So now that that is settled, let's get to my game. I called it Super Mario Region as a spoof off of Super Mario Land, World, Galaxy etc... and I put Pwned in there becouse Mario's going to pwn the koopas (or they'll pwn him!
To make this game (As with all my games) I used GameMaker7.0 witch you can get on www.yoyogames.com It's a nice peice of software that has pre-written blocks of code you place in order to make the game do what you want. You might be saying "Oh any dope can do that" and I want to say anyone can if they try, it sounds easy, BUT IT'S NOT! It takes a lot of time and thinking to do it right.
I get my music from vgmusic.com and most of my sprites from The spriters Resourse (I don't know it's web adress off the top of my head, just Google it.)
In this game I wanted to make something different from the traditional Mario costumes, so I created Ninja Mario! Ninja Mario os faster than Super Mario, can jump furthur (not higher) and throws ninja stars! I can tell you now: Mario looks funny in a ninja suit!
I posted s snapshot of the title screen for your vewing pleasure.

Sonic and The Secret Rings
I haven't told you in my first post, but when I rate games I'll do so in stars (I'm so original). I will "test" a game for several elements and give it points if it fits that fields requirements. The fields will be as follows: Good graphics, good game play/control, music, stays fun(Doesn't get boring) and any special thing in the game that's unique.
Because of my name and whatnot I find it fitting to rate Sonic And The Secret Rings (SATSR) for the Nintendo Wii (The only next-Gen system I want and will ever own for a looong time)'
Graphics:
I was pretty impressed with the graphics on this game, although they where not much compared to Sonic The Hedgehog for the 360 and PS3 they where quite impressive. My favorite moments graphics-wise in SATSR was probably the water in Dino Jungle and Pirate Storm, along with the reflections on the floor in Night Palace, and the transparent glass-like look of the Wierd place (Also part of Night Palace). I think they did good considering the graphics quality allowed with the Nintendo Wii, So it gets a star!
Game Play/ Control:
In SATSR you held the Wii Remote Sideways, you used 2 to jump and 1 to slide and to "turn" or in this case "dodge" you tilted the Wii remote. Lastly if you wanted to walk backwards you had to turn the Wii Remote so the buttons where faceing you. The game play style was vary different from other Sonic games, Sonic runs along by himself along a preset path and you help him dodge spikes, fire, walls and pots, and so much more. Over all this games control was difficult, it seemed a bit over sensitive, specially when you tipped it backwards to backstep and you would start walking backwards when you didn't want to. I could go on but there is no point in it, the controls where sometimes confusing, the preset path took out the fun of a "Freeroaming inviroment" and eventhough I like Sonic games I have to leave out this star, sorry SEGA!
Music:
Sadly the music in this game was good but the words in the songs ruined it. I found it annoying to here the words: Who's the rocking place" (Or atleast thats what it sounded like) playing over and over covering up some awesome violen music in the Evil Foundry level and to hear rapping on the final boss (I don't like rap). Yet I did like the Dono Jungle song: "In the wicked Wild" it seemed true to the Sonic music yet didn't live up to "Live & Learn" one of Sonic's best songs and also the theme from Sonic Adventure 2 for the SEGA dreamcast known better as Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the GameCube(My other console). Sadly I can't give SATSR the star for music, even though the music itself(not the words) was good.
Stays Fun:
SATSR is fun when you start, when you beat Erazer Djin, and for a while afterwards, But then it becomes kinda monotonous. Unlike most Sonic games once you beat a level when you just get to the goal, many other challanges pop up, like: get 99 rings, don't defeat enemeys, and so on. even though it has a ton of challenges, it just kinda gets boreing after you have beaten the Erazer Djin the first time, but scince it's fun till that point I'll give it a star!
Special:
Their are some special things I want to say about this game:
>This game has voice acting (I like that in a game)
>The cut scenes look like a book (This game is based on The Arabian Nights)
>This game has a neat party mode (some people consider this a ripoff of Mario Party, but I think it's fun).
This game gets the special star!
Sonic And The Secret Rings is an allright game 3 out of 5 ain't bad, but if you hate sonic now, you'll hate him more after this game! But if you are a like the Blue Dude with the 'Tude you shouldn't pass this title up.

Yo!
Hello! I'm Speeding Hedgehog! In case you haven't guessed yet I'm a Sonic The Hedgehog Fanatic! But don't let that scare you off, if your not a fan of the "Blue Blur" I also rate and/or discuss other games. Some of my other favorites are the Super Mario games, Kirby games, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl (One of the best games ever, although I'm no good at it). I also make my own video games with the GameMaker software so I might look at games a little differently than some of the other people on UpScore, but probably not much. So I hope you like the site, I'll update when I can.
