Top 10 favorite games

Everybody needs games, because if people don’t play, then people get mad, bored, and then start to do bad stuff, and like a saying says “ Ocius is the mother of all sins.”. This list is about my favorite top 10 games, and includes both video games, and board games.Dear reader, if your parents have told you that video games are bad for you or they are going to cook your brain, or stuff like that, I can say with all the freedom of the world that such arguments ARE BULLSHIT!. There is no scientific evidence that proves this, in fact science demonstrates the opposite, for example it has been demonstrated that video games improve brain capacities, besides, video games are a form of art because it tells you stories in the game, they have a plot and you need actor to play the voices in the game. Position 1 is my Favorite game.
10.- Chess
Classic game, for people who actually are clever, and one of the few sports that heavy and unfit people can play. The game itself is epic because it recreates a battle between two armies. It is so epic that once during the cold war, an American player, and a Soviet Player were playing the final match in a chess world cup. the American won.

9.- Risk

Like chess, but the difference is that the board is a world map. It was based on the Napoleonic era, so the game figures look like soldiers from 1800’s.  The objective of the game is to lead your armies and become the next Napoleon (not Napoleon Dynamite) and conquer the world. Easy, right?

8.- Uno
The classic card game (for non-gamblers) to play after a semester exam in class, and also to break up friendships as well. You have 7 cards and you have to get rid of all of them first, but if you have one left you have to say “Uno” or you have to grab seven more.
Friends? That is the last thing you have when you play Uno...

7.-Mario Kart DS
Mario -who has decided to stop looking for the d̶u̶m̶b̶ Princess Peach who has been kidnapped by Bowser more times than Liam Neeson's daughter in the Taken franchise- now plays karts race. In this game, you drive a kart and like in all race games, you have to make it first to the goal to win, but is not that easy, because the other players are such an <insert rated R word here> , and they will throw at you bananas, turtle shells, lightings, ink, bullets, and other stuff to win the race in a u̶n̶honorable way. Dear reader, if you choose to play Mario Kart DS (start playing Mario Kart version for DS or newer, the older version’s graphics are crap), choose Yoshi, he is the most complete racer.
6.- Scrabble
Always that I play scrabble, I play it in Spanish because it is the only version that I have. In scrabble you grab seven letter from a bag and try to form words, and according to the letter you use you get points, and the winner is the one who has more points, you can form any word you want, but unspoken rules t̶h̶o̶s̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ say that “Thou shall not use the f-word, s-word, a-word, p-word, c-word, d-word”, and the rules of the game say that you cannot form Proper names such Alejandro, Microsoft, Mcallen, etc. You get the idea.
5.- Clue
The game in which you play to be Sherlock. You have to solve a murder case about who killed a millionaire and with what weapon where. I have The Simpsons version, so you have to find who killed Mr.Burns and with what weapon (poisoned doughnut, Saxophone, etc). Like chess, and most games from Parker Brothers, this game is so epic and you will have a great time with it.
Oh my Gosh! I need that version of clue! Imagine Dwight K. Shrute looking for the murderer of Toby Flenderson. That is what I call creativity.


6. Conker's Bad Fur Day
A video game for Nintendo 64 and Xbox. It is about a red squirrel named Conker who tries to find his way to his home with his girlfriend after a night at the bar, but gets lost and gets into many ordeals to save his life and find his way back to home, like in a greek epic, but also like in a greek epic, it has a lot of gore and dark humor, so it is rated M for Mature audiences, and kids should not play it b̶u̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶h̶o̶n̶e̶s̶t̶,̶ ̶t̶o̶d̶a̶y̶'̶s̶ ̶k̶i̶d̶s̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶ ̶i̶n̶n̶a̶p̶r̶o̶p̶i̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶g̶a̶m̶e̶s̶,̶ ̶w̶a̶t̶c̶h̶ ̶i̶n̶n̶a̶p̶r̶o̶p̶i̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶v̶i̶e̶s̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶d̶o̶ ̶i̶n̶n̶a̶p̶r̶o̶p̶i̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶e̶r̶n̶e̶t̶,̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶w̶h̶o̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶e̶s̶?̶.


5.- Mario Party (Nintendo 64)
Another mario game. A kind of board game in which if you win minigames you advance in the board, and you win if you collect so many stars. Enjoyable, although like in Mario Kart, the opponent will do anything possible to win, even if it means to steal your stars, have you eaten by Bowser, roll over you by a train, etc. Make sure to play Mario Party 3 or newer, older versions are bad.
Look at them, trying to save their lives from falling in the lava by running on the top of balls. Like SAW, but for children.


3.- Frontline Commando D-day
Dear reader, if you are a history fan like me, and admire Captain America, then you will love this game. This games is a mobile game in which you are an American Soldier during World War II, and your first battle is in Normandy in the D-day. Your mission is to advance in France and defeat the Nazis as you advance. Exciting!

2.- Monopoly
The most popular game from Parker Brother which is the most effective weapon to destroy friendships and families since the Great Depression. The game is about how fast can you be the next Bill Gates or the next Prince of Saudi Arabia, and is by buying properties, railroads, services, and by putting hotels and houses on your properties, so when your rival falls in your property he can go to bankrupt. A fun game (to my taste) which also teaches you a lesson: do your taxes, and if you want to be billionaire you have to become a douche (like Macbeth).
Mr. Uncle Pennybags, who some speculate that is based on J.P. Morgan, who is properly rocking the Monopoly mustache.


1.- Minecraft
Without any doubt, Minecraft has well deserved the position number 1. It is the most exciting, epic, and entertaining game that I have never seen. The reason on why I love Minecraft is because I like scouting outdoors and exploring my surroundings like an explorer, and whenever I do that I feel like a Spanish (or should I say Mexican) Conquistador or like Eric the Red when he arrived to Vinland (North America). Unfortunately, because of a̶n̶ ̶e̶v̶i̶l̶ ̶i̶n̶v̶e̶n̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ homework ,I don’t have the time to do these things so I stay at home, but with Minecraft I can explore forests, deserts, oceans, caves, mines, mountains, and a lot of biomes and you can even build your own buildings and make a city with your own hands brick by brick, raise cattle, breed cattle, domesticate wolves, build railroads, make bombs and make them blow and nobody gets hurt(if that is your thing) and start your own hormone-free organic farm. 
There there is also survival mode in which you have to make an intelligent use of your resources, and survive in your little world(is not that little, in fact it is infinite in the PC and Xbox versions) against zombie attacks, skeleton archers, creepers (which are some sort of plant with legs according to science) that explode, Endermen (A version of Slenderman), bad wolves, and zombie pigmen (Biped zombies with humanoid body and pig head). Minecraft is also educational, because it teaches you about using your resources wisely and not to waste it, making out of you a better person for the planet, plus I remember that one day, I had to take the AP Environmental Science, and I had a question that asked about the layers of the ground, so I remembered from Minecraft that on the top most part of the soill is dirt, then solidified sand, and then the bedrock. There was another question about about how to get minerals out from the ore (such gold from gold ore), and I remembered that in Minecraft I have to clean the ore by heating it, so I put it as an aswer and I got a three on the AP (which is good). Also some people especulate that Minecraft also helps you to improve your SAT scores, but there is no proof yet. Also there are some codes called mods that you can install in the program and you can do an infinity of possibilities such mine Uranium, install electricity in your buildings, build a ship, launch nukes, have a shotgun, etc. I love this game because you can many things that are dangerous for people, but the beauty is that nobody gets hurt (like in The Simpson's episode in which Homer creates an alternative universe in which everything is made of legos, and "nobody gets hurt", according to Ned Flanders).

King Tando’s palace in the capital city of Trolledo, in the Tandolish Kingdom. I built the palace, Trolledo’s buildings and the Tandolish Kingdom by myself brick by brick. The part that is on the very top of the palace is a pool, and the water that runs from below the palace is a waterfall.
