About Me
Name:Albert
Age:21
Location:San Fernando Valley, California
My Beer: Budweiser or Fosters


3-chord Ramones style pop-punk, horror movies galore (the classic cheesy stuff), video games, beer, chicks with short hair and tattoos, anything foreign, food, and alot shouting of cuss words.





Too much 2-D fighting going on. A-Groove Sakura all day and night. If the XBOX 360 gave out beer and had a soft, moist sex-hole in the back, their would be no reason to leave the house EVER.

Favorite Films:


Pop-Punk Musack:


My Babe:


Upcoming Gems
No Fred Williamson, but I trust Tarantino.

Another Romero remake you ask?!

"Hey Ash, call me"

SHITTY GAMES=FUN GAMES (sometimes..) EP.1
Teen Idol | 7:08 PM on 03.17.2008 10 comments


So I decided to start this blog thing where I dug deep into my personal collection of games and review the games EVERYONE bashed, but to some extent were actually pretty damn fun when played under the right circumstances. There's probably a million other blogs like this one, but oh well These are going to range from all consoles I ever had. So to start it off, this first "episode" is on a show anyone who grew up in the 90's probably remembers watching on FOX (I think they still show reruns actually). Who can forget silver haired John Bunnell and that infamous intro of the show? Ladies and gentlemen, this is WOLDS SCARIEST POLICE CHASES for the PS1.



Silver haired Sheriff John Bunnell, the man who provides the wonderfully cheesy, melodramatic voice-overs for the TV show, drops hysterical bits of knowledge between missions, making the game so hilarious and memorable for that reason. Those familiar with the show will recognize his voice instantly, but those who are not will have to hear it to believe it. This guys voice really stands out and I'm surprised there weren't any parodies since this guys seems so easy to make fun of.

Anyway, on to the gameplay. The control scheme wasn't actually THAT bad. It was extremely sensitive making those mission where you had to pit maneuver cars out of the road disgusting (and believe me, missions were repetitious). Missions varied from shooting at the car you were in pursuit of to disable it, pursuing cars until they pulled over, and driving around the city disabling bombs (Die Hard 3 anyone?). The graphics were pretty horrible, but when we look back at any PS1 game, all the graphics were pretty horrible compared to what we're use to now.

Most people didn't like the fact that you could've only played as a police car and not the "bandit", but honestly it wouldn't make much sense to play a police chase game if you could play as the bandit. So so far everything I said makes the game sound pretty bad, but really t was pretty fun for it's time! Sure you had your Need For Speed's by that time but this game was just different. Honestly I don't even know how to explain what made this game so fun. LOL MAybe it was just John Bunnell. That guy really cracks me up. And this game to me is definitely a buried gem worth at least reading about or looking at pics of.




THAT'S NOT ME PLAYING THE GAME BY THE WAY. LOL

I mean, it's fun for like one day. After that, you notice the non-shooting, or pit maneuvering missions are far too easy.

Actually, "Driver" was a great game.

Yeah, but this game was based on a show. A police show.

It IS pretty damn fun.
Hard to find a review with anything positive to say though that DOES NOT involve John Bunnell.
