Nintendo Rant

    Now this isn't a rant about the company Nintendo or the fact they really haven't come out with anything good in a long time. (even though I would like to discuss that). But I want to talk about the fact that everyone I know seem to have grown up playing on Nintendo, and that is weir to me.
    For me I grew up playing on the PlayStation and that is what I am familiar with and my little childhood heart goes to. And actually still now my heart is kind of there because all the video game consoles me and my brother own are Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, 3,and 4. So just by that you can see what I prefer. Now I do not have any when it comes to handheld where all I have is Gameboy, Gameboy advanced, SP, DS, DS lite, and 3DS, so Nintendo has won there. But when I was little I mostly was on the PlayStation flying around as Spyro, treasure hunting with Lara Croft, or going on adventures with ood.  While everyone else was saving princess Peach, going on quests with Link, catching them all with Ash. Now I did do these things but not until I was like 11-12. So I am just wondering if my early childhood was different or if there are any others like me.
      So leave in the comments below weather you grew up playing on Nintendo or PlayStation. Or if it some other system say cookies. Or you just don't play videogames leave sparkles.

Unfinished Swan Review

the game for the ps3 I truly think it is amazing and should be played. Now this game follows a little boy named Monroe whose mother died and he was give her magic paint brush and the whole game is him following the unfinished swan which was one of the last paintings Monroe's mother working on through the unfinished kingdom where Monroe comes face to face with many things including the mysterious king. And the whole thing is just told through like a kids story book and you end up finding out the truth about Monroe.
    Now as someone who loves kind of those maze puzzle games this was really fun and extremely adorable. It was truly a very smart move I think to tell the whole story of this game through Monroe's eyes and have you learn things along side him. And just the whole mane story plot while following the unfinished swan kept you guessing until the very end. And as someone who doesn't like to keep going strait down the path until you reach the end but someone who likes to find a way to comb every inch of a map before moving on I like the move of adding the hunt for the balloons and having to find and paint in the missing story pages. That coming from someone who got through the entire game collecting all but three balloons and 1 storybooks page which looking back I must have been an idiot to have missed that page. And they did a good job at slowly making each area harder. And if you have a PlayStation 3 I highly recommend you buy this at the store right now it's I believe $14.99 which is a little expensive I got it when it was free for a week it is a good mind numming game to help you calm down if you have been playing a lot of last of us or beyond two sols and just need a breather.
       Now for you guys a question what video game system did you grow up on?
