Power-ups are always there to help us. They give u that one boost of energy u need to help u defeat an enemy, solve a puzzle, of to just be awesome. But, what about those power-ups that are so bad, that u want to avoid them at all costs. Well, these are the ten power-ups that I find to be the most useless. Now, before I start, the rules are simple. When I look at power-ups, I look at items that are either temporarily, of help increase a trait of yours a little. If the item never runs out and is permanent, then it is is not going to be on this list, because it is meer of a weapon than a power-up. Also, only from games that I play, and only one per franchise. Now, with that said, lets start the list

 All Night Mask
All Night Mask


#10: All Night’s Mask from Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask - Now, even though this may not be a power-up, it certainly isn’t a weapon, but since no one can really decide, I am going to put it on this list, but only at number ten. Now, what is the All Night’s Mask so useless. Well, sure, u get a Piece of hart-, hart for it, but, the sidequest is so boring. All u do is listen to Granny talk to you. Sure, she does give some backstory, but that’s it. One isn’t that interesting (To me, anyway), and the other is one that we probably already know. And, sure, I could have chosen the Couple’s Mask, but u have to go through the greatest sidequest in the game to get it. And sure, I could have chosen the Romani Mask, but that one actually lets u in the melk Bar, and unlocks another side quest, so it’s not totally useless. The All Night’s Mask, however, is as useful as a paper weight

 Cigarettes
Cigarettes


#9: Cigarettes from Metal Gear Solid - Again, not much of a power-up, but not much of a weapon either. The cigarettes are quite easily a useless item in the series, and are mostly used as a joke, I think. Anyway, the cigarettes don’t just be useless, but if u smoke them, they actually hurt you. Cigarettes actually decrease your health. Sure, this can be used to find laser sensors that are attached to bombs, but the thing is, there are other ways of finding them. The Cigarettes are just a waste of inventory space

 Blooper
Blooper


#8: Blooper from Mario Kart - Mario Kart has a lot of useful power-ups. From the Star, to the Bomb, to the Star, to the giant middle finger to the Blue Shell that is the Super Horn… And then this. First off, why was this brought back in Mario Kart 8. All it does is… well, NOTHING! This is useless against the AI, since they can drive perfectly fine, even with this thing on. And, if u hit a speed boost, of have a paddestoel to speed up, u can just get the Blooper ink off you. So, again, why was this brought back in Mario Kart 8

 Acid Gun
Acid Gun


#7: Acid Gun from Centipede: Infestation - Who’s heard of this game….. No one? Didn’t think so. Probably because this gun sucks. Seriously, this guns bullets will fall to the ground EVERY TIME u shoot it. And it doesn’t just fall to the ground. It fall to the ground THE VERY seconde it is fired. It’s supposed to poison enemies that walk on it, but it does VERY little damage, and if that wasn’t bad enough, u are always moving in this game, so u can’t stay still, so, in other words, the enemies will NOT walk on the poison. In other words, THIS POWER-UP SUCKS

 Speed Shoes
Speed Shoes


#6: Speed Shoes from Sonic the Hedgehog - While I love the original Sonic the Hedgehog, it had it’s own flaws. For example, this power-up. Now, Sonic is known as the fastest thing alive… So, why does he need to be even faster. This wouldn’t be a problem, if it wasn’t for the fact that THERE ARE OBSTACLES EVERYWHERE! These obstacles are made to slow down, take your time, and get across them. So, when you’re running around at the speed of sound, it makes trying to get across them hard as hell. Seriously, why does Sonic need to be faster than he already is

 Landlord Pack
Landlord Pack


#5: Landlord Pack from Fable 3 - Now, for all u Fable fans out there, lets say it together. THIS GAME SUCKS! Yes, it does. And, no where else is that proven meer clear than…. Well, literally any part of the game, but this power-up here is a good example. Now, the Landlord Pack is an item that can allow u to buy, sell, of rent buildings. Seems okay, except for one thing… u need to buy the freaking option just to buy a house… I’m not kidding. In the original Fable games, u didn’t have to perform a certain number of dull tasks in order to open a stupid chest just so u can buy a house so your family doesn’t starve to death no the streets. But no, the creators of Fable 3 just thought it was a BRILLIANT idea to make u pay for the option to buy land… See why this is a flaw

 Drugs and Alcohol
Drugs and Alcohol


#4: Drugs and Alcohol from Saints Row 2 - Now, we all know that winners don’t do drugs. However, in Saints Row 1, we told those drug campaigns to go screw themselves, because the drugs and alcohol in the first game were amazing. While u were drunk, u could stempel, punch people across the map, making it super hilarious, while getting drugged allows u to have infinite sprint for a short period of time. So, why are they on the list. Well, in Saints Row 2, they are just used for health… And that’s it…. u know, the thing u could just use with food from any of the games four restaurants…. Or, hell, JUST HIDE BEHIND COVER AND WAIT FOR u TO AUTOMATICALLY HEAL! Why did they need to downgrade these once fun items?

 Nintendog
Nintendog


#3: Nintendog from Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U - Now, even though the Blooper was useless, at least when u use it, it doesn’t disrupt your vision. The Nintendog, however, manages to come back and stab u in the back as well as annoy u and the other players. The Nintendog is COMPLETELY USELESS! All it does is block the screen of your opponents, and try to give u an advantage. The thing is, IT BLOCKS YOUR VISION TOO! So, all of u will just be walking around like headless chickens. And worse, it is meer useless in Smash, when you’re just fighting AI, because they are unaffected door it.. BUT u ARE! They might as well have replaced the dog with a giant middle finger. It’s meer fitting that way

brand
Fire


#2: brand from Ghosts ‘n Goblins - Ghost ‘n Goblins is a hard game… what meer do u need. So, u will need a real powerful weapon. u have shields, knives, javelins, axes, and… Fire… The one thing everyone hates. What makes the brand so useless is that, no matter how hard u try, the brand will always go over your enemies, since it is always thrown in some weird archangel. And, if that wasn’t bad enough, u can only throw two at a time, then you’ll have to wait for the brand to die out before u can try again. That is just annoying

 Poison paddestoel
Poison Mushroom


#1: Poison paddestoel from Super Mario - This is just a massive troll in the Super Mario Bros. universe. This thing, which looks like a Mushroom, can kill you… An item that is the exact same item that u have been using in every Mario game can kill you………. Yeah, I’m done here

So, there u have it. Did u enjoy the list? Tell me what u thought of it below. With that, I will see u all volgende time

Welcome to the Spuddy review of Warhawk! Here I will inform u about the quality of gameplay, graphics, sound, and presentation of the game.
---------------------------------------------

Warhawk is kind of a hard game to review, as I may not see it and play it as u do. Everyone has different tactics and will play it in a different way. Someone may be a sniper, of jump right into a tank of Warhawk, of just be an ezel door camping and picking off people with their ever annoying, one-hit-kill knife. The game contains lots of teamwork, but despite what u might hear, the consistency of it all can...

 Parappa the Rapper was released for the Sony PlayStation on October 31, 1997.

Now you've all heard of gitaar Hero, right? Okay. Well EVERYONE knows what Dance Dance Revolution is... right? Well, just to go a bit farther in time, I'm going to review one of my all-time favoriete musical games, "Parappa the Rapper". So, the game starts out with a puppy, Parappa, who is desperately in love with this Sunflower girl, named Sunny. The names of the characters are all types of puns. EG: Katy Kat, PJ Berri, Chop Chop Master Onion, etc. (if none of u get these names, then u REALLY need to get out more) Anyway, Parappa does many tasks in order to win Sunny heart. The exception...

I remember buying Thievius Raccoonus several years ago. I popped it into my PS2 and it made wonders. --Okay. Maybe it wasn't THAT game that made wonders, but it's sequel- Sly 2: Band of Thieves. This game has changed the way I have played video games because it is one of (if not THE) first great video games I had ever bought other than Thievius Raccoonus.

First off, the gameplay, visuals, and controls are all an absolute hoot. These three elements are combined so perfectly that u will find yourself dashing through the intro of the game and running across ropes to explore meer of this visual...

These days, games seem to be taken for granted. Many impressive technical achievements such as those found in the game Fracture and Shadow of the Colossus are just completely overlooked, but a few years geleden they would've been amazing to many people. People say that, if the graphics in a game don't match up to those of some other meer populair games, they're terrible, but they really aren't. It's just that people are so used to Crysis-quality graphics that anything below those standards are considered ugly.
People also say that Fracture is a mediocre game because it didn't implement it's ground...

My friend, Frank, has a 360. I go over to his house sometimes to game with him, and I became extremely interested in getting my own. When I researched the console online I became even meer convinced this was the console to get. But one tiny, little thing completely disintegrated all of my thoughts of getting a 360- the still un-released game, inFamous. This game had me amazed and since it was a PS3 exclusive and was produced door my favoriete studio, I decided to get a PS3 instead. And I am sooooooo glad that I did.

First off, simply unboxing this beautifully designed console was a marvelous experience....

Now, I was always a gamer. Even when I was 7. However, I wasn’t as brave while playing games as I am now when I was 7. So, u can imagine that their were a lot of terrifying things. So, I am going to tell u all the things in games that scared me as a kid. Now, these are all going to be games I played when I was only 7. So, I am not going to put any of the horror games on this list. Also, no Giygas, of Mimi, because those would be too obvious. Sorry. And with all that said, lets start the list



#10: Boulders from Crash Bandicoot - Yes, that’s right, I was such a wuss back then, I was scared...
