Two Words Tuesdays(New segment) : Action Pron

Alrighty this first paragraph is explaining the segment, Two Words is a weekly segment that's about recent, upcoming, and past(10 years ago) games that fits to just Two Words, and when thinking about which day this would be perfect for, well, stuff usually comes out on Tuesdays soo...BLAM! there you go, on with the POST!
------------------------------------------

TWT: Action Pron-GO!

Recent-
Borderlands-

Now this is a game which trailer fits these two words perfectly.
Borderlands is a, (action-rpg-fps) arpgfps?, That boasts the fact that it has thousands of weapons and kickass gameplay. The game sports a unique cel-shaded look that adds to the cool factor of the game. What's more unique is the actual game, the new gameplay that this game has brought onto the gaming genre is fantabrazy.(get it?, three genres, three different words?,no?...w/e) This is not your older brother's first person RPG. The gameplay feels like a FPS but when you're not shooting, you're getting around and looking for loot, similar to loot hunting in the Diablo series. Even more to add to the likeness of RPG's, each character has a skill tree which you can expand based on the levels you gain through XP. The reason I picked this for today's TWT is because, even though you loot like a homeless grandma, this game is all action.

Upcoming-
Modern Warfare 2-

Now...need I say more?, not really. But for sake of writing...here we go.
Modern Warfare 2 is the epitome of Action Pron.
Guns?, Check.
Explosions?, Check.
Loud Noises?, Check
Fast and Crazy MP?, Check
Terrorists? War? Bombs? Killing Civilians?
CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK

The game is on the brink of reaching insanity in terms of Action, There's a Story Mode, Co-op Mission Mode, and fully functional Multi-Player Mode. The game has a lot to give, and while it will be the top selling game of..the century?, some of us have our doubts, and are waiting for the final verdict. Stay Tuned for that, not long now...

Past-
Super Smash Bros.-

Super... Smash.. Bros. , The name is amongst all our adolescent minds.

Super Smash Bros. was quite the amazing ..Smash-fest. As soon as the ads hit the tv(remember, this was 99, before the broadband boom) kids' brains went liquid. Tons of their favorite Nintendo characters in a battle royale deathmatch with 4-player action?, someone, somewhere, a kid's mind actually blew up. The game spawned many look/play alike video games, some to recent memory including the (just released?/upcoming) TMNT smash w/e, and also had two follow up games in succession. While this writer thinks Melee was the best one yet(thought brawl fell a tad short), one cannot wait to hear the name, "Super Smash Bros." uttered at a games show in the future. Rock on Jigglypuff, Rock on.

That does it for today's Two Words Tuesday, Until next Tuesday...I dunno play games. -Shibbs
