Welcome, one and all, to the Cary’s Best Video Games of the Year SO FAR Awards Show! Around this time of the year, when it’s halfway over, I like to take a look at the games that were released at the first half of the year and pick out the best ones. Why? Well, when people do their Game of the Year awards at the end of the year, some of the games released at the beginning are sometimes forgotten. And all the exciting news of upcoming games at the recent E3 doesn’t help matters either. I know that most of the best games come out at the end of the year for the holiday season, but I wanted to give recognition to the early gems of 2010 as well.

On the third and last day, we just walked around and looked at some of the hotels in Vegas. Now, these aren’t just your regular hotels. They’re HUGE! If you tried to walk through all the hotels on the strip, you’d die of exhuastion! Not only do these things house the hotel rooms and casinos, each one also has a big shopping mall with a food court, a stage or two for the shows, and other goodies. Most of the hotels on the strip have a theme. Only in Vegas can you visit New York, Paris, Egypt, Venice, and Ancient Rome all in one day!

Even though I don’t like Sonic the Hedgehog, there’s one type of level in his games that I look forward to reaching. The ‘casino/pinball/carnival’ type level. Not only are these stages really fun, they’re full of colorful neon lights. I don’t know why, but neon lights have always fascinated me for some reason, and I also really like other games and stages that have neon style graphics (like Mario Kart 64’s Rainbow Road). Heck, one of my favorite things to do at Christmas is drive around and look at Christmas lights. For that reason, I’ve always wanted to go to Las Vegas And this past week, I finally did! So here’s a series of blogs—with pictures—about my recent trip to Vegas!
