In Honor of Kikoskia's Upcoming Milestones: More of His Classic Videos for You to Check Out

As a long time fan (well, nearly eleven months, to be precise) of Kikoskia, that amazing Let's Play commentator from YouTube, I am excited to report that, as of this writing, he is about to hit some incredible milestones. Not only will he soon be posting his 2,000th video, but within a few weeks, he will also have 10,000 subscribers. To mark these wonderful occasions, and perhaps to try and help Kiko get to 10,000 subscribers, I declare that the time is right to list yet another ten of his play throughs. All of Kiko's current games will be listed here, as well as some other recent and instantly classic videos for you to check out if you have not done so already. This list is current as of April 27, 2010, and is as follows...

First, here are the two games that Kiko updates 3-4 days a week:

Deus Ex: Meet JC Denton, an agent for UNATCO who he feels is dedicated to protecting the world from terrorists. However, he soon feels that perhaps he is on the wrong side of the law and takes matters into his own hands. This game is filled with tons of exciting and suspenseful moments, from having Kiko use a sword to knock down all of his opponents to using an explosive to kill a fellow agent. As usual, Kiko's commentary is also entertaining...during an interrogation scene, a government official tells a prisoner that there are less civilized ways of making him talk, to which Kiko adds, "Like Barney!" This play through, one of Kiko's best ones yet, is addictive and will keep you in suspense as to what will happen in the next chapter. Deus Ex is currently updated every other day, alternating with...

Ultima VII: The Serpent Isle: After stopping the Guardian from entering Britannia at the end of Ultima VII: The Black Gate, the Avatar and his friends head off to Serpent Isle to defeat the villainous Batlin. Once again, there are battles to fight, hunger pangs to handle, and secrets to discover. Kiko provides a lot of memorable moments, which as of this writing, includes destroying tough foes with ease, saying "Squiggle, squiggle, squiggle..." when he reads something he is unable to translate, and giving memorable and fitting voices to many of the characters. Chances are, if you loved Kiko's Black Gate play through, you will also love his Serpent Isle videos. It could very well end up being one of his longest ones yet, but it is enjoyable through and through up to this point.

Now, for a pair of games that are updated a bit less often:

Dungeons and Dragons: The Temple of Elemental Evil: In this installment of the famed role playing game series, a set of heroes led by a character named after Kiko go around to perform tasks and prepare themselves to take on the challenges within the titular temple. As this series has only just begun (there are currently 15 videos posted), I cannot tell you much about the play through, but it does show plenty of promise. Naturally, Kiko's voice acting is entertaining and wonderful here, and there are some interesting plot points, such as how to have people from two different faiths be permitted to marry each other. This series, which is updated on Mondays, is sure to also have a good deal of combat and other intriguing quests, as well. Give it a chance, and you will find a series that, while new, is already becoming a classic.

Covert Action: The Rainer Files: When criminals are on the loose, planning terrorists attacks and other fiendish acts, agent Maximilian Remington works to obtain the necessary clues to arrest the crooks and stop them from carrying out their wicked deeds. Kiko gives the agent the code name Rainer, after a character from his Albion play through, because he feels that the agent will only mess things up considerably. You will be in suspense as Kiko has Rainer exploring buildings, gathering clues and shooting enemies as he goes. Kiko's excitement over arresting some of the crooks is simply classic, and he does his best to make Rainer into the best detective the CIA has ever seen. Two full length cases (one seven videos long, the other eight videos long) are currently posted for you to enjoy, and Kiko may add more cases soon.

The remainder of this list consists of games that have been completed, some recently, some for a while. They are:

Ultimate Doom: One of Kiko's very best play throughs of all time is this expanded edition of the celebrated first person shooting game, which adds some brand new levels and secrets. Once again, Kiko shouts "Chaingun!" and "Chainsaw!" every chance he gets, and stands against the enemies as well as he possibly can, even when he is running low on health. Here, his enthusiasm makes an already classic experience even more enjoyable, and it kept me hooked from the first video to the last. Can Kiko have Doomguy survive his encounters with the demons? One thing is for sure...this play through has instant classic written all over it, and is something Kiko should be (and I bet he is) very proud of.

Z: There is a war between opposing robot armies, with the red robots fighting against the blue robots on a variety of planets. In this real time strategy game, Kiko has the red robots taking territories, building vehicles and other robots, and ultimately destroying the bases controlled by the blue robots. On many occasions, Kiko finds it very surprising that he can complete some very tough missions with ease, even when it seemed that failure was imminent. That is not to say that there is suspense in spots, because there is, but you can bet that Kiko will always find a way to complete every mission and emerge victorious. Check out Z and you will see that with Kiko along for the ride, it is definitely a war well worth fighting.

Galaga: If you are looking for an arcade classic on Kiko's channel, look no further than this space shooter ported to the NES. This single video play through, posted as a Valentine's Day special, has Kiko shooting aliens and avoiding their attacks as best as he can. The usual helping of entertaining commentary is at hand, as is the anticipation as to how far Kiko will progress. If you ever played Galaga yourself and wish to see someone provide an entertaining play through of it, this is the video for you. Kiko's Valentine's Day celebration continued with...

Tetris: The world famous puzzle game is given the honor of being played by Kiko in a hilarious two-video series. He does his best to keep up with the rapidly-increasing rate of the falling blocks. It is when the pace really picks up that Kiko panics, struggling to keep himself from losing. It is fun to watch Kiko see how he fares in Tetris and to hear what he has to say as he plays. Those of you looking for the ideal series of Tetris videos that are truly funny, I highly recommend Kiko's Tetris videos.

Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil: Found in Kiko's Special Videos play list, it appears as if he is going to do the expansion pack as a follow up to his celebrated Doom 3 play through. Once again, he prepares to deal with demons and other creatures, which famously made him panic once before. There is one video of this game posted for you to see how Kiko sets forth to handle the madness. What will he encounter, and can he survive the ordeal? Also, what can people expect when they realize that this video was posted on April 1st? I shall not spoil anything more than that...just watch the video for yourself and prepare for something epic that only Kiko could pull off.

Barney's Hide and Seek: The oldest play through on this list features this game featuring the famous purple dinosaur that many people know and despise. Here, Barney searches for some poorly-hidden children and presents in several levels. Kiko does his best to deal with Barney, providing some classic moments along the way, and even does his best Barney imitation, which is amazingly spot on and impressive. He comments on how the kids are not doing a very good job in hiding, and he is in disbelief at how it is impossible to die in the game. This was one of the first Kiko video series I saw way back in the summer of 2009, and it is an instant classic. I am sure you will agree with me if you watch it for yourself.

Kiko's videos just keep getting better and better, as the above list proves. His current and completed series are very entertaining, and he will likely continue to do even more enjoyable videos for some time to come. He deserves every subscriber that he can get, as he is just that darn amazing and impressive. For those of you who have yet to subscribe to Kiko's channel, be sure to check out the videos listed above, as well as all of his other play throughs, and I think you will find that you will be hooked and, like me, will find yourself coming back for more.
