Singularity Review

Singularity is a game that proves Activision can do better than just Call of Duty. In Singularity your character goes on a recon mission in an old abandoned Soviet island. Your helicopter gets shot down then its up to you to fight Soviets and mutated monsters with a gun or with the tool on your hand that can speed up and reverse time. Singularity actually can prove it self to be some what scary in the beginning because of the fast moving monsters you have to fight. Singularity is a great game that is cheap and will give you hours of game time. Singularity is also extremely gory but I think that makes it even more awesome, there are sniper rifles that you can guide the bullets straight into your enemies head and even mini-guns that you can unload 200 bullets into your enemies chest with and he will just take it. I have never tried to play the multiplayer and I doubt many people are playing it but you should give it a try anyways. Please leave comments and what you think of Singularity.

State of Decay Review

State of Decay is one of the most well known zombie games of the modern day and probably my favorite. State of Decay is an open world, 3rd person survival horror game. Believe it or not State of Decay is not your average zombie game you actually have to set up a base, find supplies, help others and do missions. The realism that State of Decay adds is very amazing such as how other survivors can get mad at each other, get lost and even need your help to fight off some zombies. State of Decay some what copied Left 4 Dead by adding these fat guys that look just like boomers and tanks combined, these guys that run really fast and jump on you (hunters), and these green things that look like goblins and explode green stuff (smoker-boomer). Though State of Decay is very realistic its also very not realistic like how people have live grenades and full automatic AK47's in their house, but it's a game so who cares. State of Decay also contains a good amount of glitches such as zombies getting stuck in walls and a few others but this does not really effect game play. When I first got this game I expected that you could fly helicopters in massive cities but I got none of that, and that is why I am most excited to see a second game come out. State of Decay is only 20 dollars I highly recommend getting it, it will give you endless hours of fun and complete zombie massacre. Please leave comments and what you think of State of Decay.

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Review

Skyrim is one of the most well known video games in the world because of its graphics, huge world and never ending fun. Many people will disagree or agree with me when I say it probably has the highest graphics for a console game so far. When you beat the story in Skyrim, unlike Fallout 3, the game doesn't end there is plenty more stuff for you to do. After you beat the story you can explore, find and do more quests or get the dlc's and you can follow a whole new story that will unlock many new things for you. In Dawnguard you can save the world against vampires or you can take over the world as vampires. In Hearth fire you get the ability to buy land and build your own house the way you want it. In Dragon born you can discover the first dragon born and a new far away land. In Skyrim the possibilities are endless, so if you don't really wanna spend alot of money on games all you need is Skyrim and you will be entertained forever.

How To Make Money On Steam

If you're a hardcore computer gamer you most likely have steam. You also probably know that steam contains a community market where people can buy and sell items for the games Team Fortress 2, Dota 2 and Counter Strike Global Offensive. You can also buy and sell steam trading cards which can be obtained by just playing games. Be aware not all games have trading cards to check go to the steam market, select a game, scroll down to where it says single player, multiplayer things like that. There should be an icon labeled steam trading cards and if there is not an icon that most likely means there are no trading cards for it. To make money easily off of Team Fortress 2 search idle in the servers box select an idle server, join it then minimize it and you can use the internet and play games while that gets you money. Not all items you get will be marketable so don't always keep your hopes up for something good. Also remember that if you constantly idle for weeks you won't be as lucky because Team Fortress 2 resets the amount of stuff you can get every Thursday. So if you idle after Thursday you will get alot stuff, later on Monday you won't. To get items and money off of Dota 2 you must complete multiplayer matches unlike Team Fortress. You won't always get stuff every multiplayer match so don't get your hopes up. Also I find Dota 2 matches super boring because they can last up to an hour. In Counter Strike GO you can get weapons and those you can sell on the market. I'm not exactly sure how to get them because I do not have Counter Strike GO but I'm sure its not as difficult as Dota 2.

If you want to make the most money I recommend downloading Team Fortress 2 because its free. I also recommend getting Counter Strike GO as well because you will probably make alot out of it and it is fun. You can download Dota if you want to, but remember you won't make much money off of it and its really boring. When you buy a game with the money you make buy one with trading cards so at least you make a profit out of it.

Ruse Review

Ruse is a game of deception where trickery is key. This game is incredibly strategic and fun because of how you can command your soldiers to attack, move and many other things. This games are very incredible for a older game, the explosive effects look awesome. Ruse is a World War 2 mission by mission strategy game that can offer hours and hours of entertainment. The game also has an incredible multiplayer that is very fun to play with friends. Ruse is also very cheap and incredibly easy to find so check it out some time. What this game lacks is that it did not get the great sales and fans that it should of so I do not expect there to be a second one. Overall this game will offer you hours of entertainment and fun.

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Series Review

The Call of Duty Modern Warfare series I found to be much better than the Black Ops series because it had a some what interesting story and really cool characters. Modern Warfare also had a really good rep because everyone loved the second one which led to great sales with the third one so almost everybody has the second and third. In this review I will explain a small amount of the story and how they basically were overall.

Modern Warfare 1 had an interesting story and I like it the most because of the fact that it is actual modern warfare. The multiplayer has some really cool maps and weapons plus it was alot of fun to play. This is not my favorite Modern Warfare but it comes in second place.

Modern Warfare 2 I found to have a very intense and depressing story line because of how the Russians attacked because the Americans were setup by the airport massacre. Be warned the 4th mission is not for kids. The multiplayer is very famed because it is such a classic and fun multiplayer. Sadly MW2  comes in third for me but I do love the story very much.

Modern Warfare 3 is my favorite Modern Warfare game because of the epic and really intense story plus the sweet ending that I will not spoil. I got MW3 for the Xbox 360 the first day it came out and it had some amazing graphics and really cool missions. The multiplayer was evolutionary because of infected.

I may have said in other articles that I think Call of Duty is for 8 to 19 year old kids who don't deserve the title gamer which is true but I meant that for the multiplayer because it just gets so repetitive and boring that I just can't stand it. People who enjoy the story and actually play the single player are real gamers as long as they play something else. The only thing I like in the multiplayer is infected. So overall I like the Modern Warfare series I just can't play it all the time or else I will get so bored. Please leave comments and which Modern Warfare game is your favorite.

3 Interesting New Games For The Xbox One

1. Tom Clancy's The Division
Tom Clancy's The Division is about a pandemic that sweeps through NYC and you are CIA agent hired to keep things sane but that doesn't happen because the city is soon taken over by bandits and gangs. It is up to you to stop these bad people and restore order. The reason why I find this game to be incredibly interesting is because of the co-op mode, in co-op one person can be playing on the ground with the Xbox One well another is giving orders, marking targets or healing you with any touch device. I think I am going to have to pre-order this.

2. The Evil Within
The Evil Within is going to be made by Bethesda so right off the bat you know its going to be great. I can't even explain the story of this one because it looks so different. This game looks like it's suppose to be a horror game which fits the description yet after watching the trailer for it, it looks 10 times scarier then any horror game I've seen. I doubt I will get this one because I will get unbelievable amount's of nightmares. Oh also this game looks so gory its not even funny.

3. Sunset Overdrive
Sunset Overdrive looks unexplainably epic. I don't even think there's a story but I'm gonna create one and it goes kill kill kill. The game looks like it is some what a zombie apocalypse but they are more like mutated humans. The game seems to be based on having just multiplayer so if I get my friends are gonna have to get it too. The graphics kind of look like Crackdown combined with Borderlands so it'll look pretty cool. It's also an open world game which I like. This one is also going to be extremely gory.

All these games look really awesome but I'm not sure if their on the top of my list. Please leave comments and which one you think is the coolest.

An Easy Place To Download Mods

If you are not that intelligent about downloading mods off the internet then this should help you. This website is called Desura all you need to do is create an account and then you can do whatever you want from there. Desura is a lot like Steam you can buy and download games off of it, play with your friends and even get some games that aren't on Steam. As long as Desura recognizes you have the game on steam or on disk you can download mods for it. Most games on Desura only have a few mods so don't be hoping for a specific one but they do have some good ones. Desura does not have the sales that steam does but it has about the same regular prices. To download mods all you have to do is have the game, click the mod you want then click the download icon, wait a little bit and you can play your mod as soon as its done downloading (it's as simple as that). So if your looking for an easy place to download good mods check out Desura.

Garry's Mod Best Game Ever

If you have not played Garry's mod at least once in your life then your life probably sucks. Garry's mod is a game of everything that runs off of Counter Strike Source, Doom, Day of Defeat Source, Team Fortress 2 and Half-Life 1 and 2. In Garry's mod you can build, destroy and best of all you can create massive battles with NPC's. Garry's mod would be nothing without a steam workshop, because with steam workshop you can download weapons, props, NPC's and many other things that will enhance the fun. The Single player mode of Garry's mod is called Sandbox where you can do whatever you want on many different awesome maps. Sandbox is amazing because you can add other people's saves to your game so you can play through there zombie apocalypse and many others. Some weapons people make for sandbox are absolutely amazing and deserve high ratings. It's the same case with some NPC's, some of them are in credibly well done. Garry's mod's single player is not the only good thing about it, it is also has a great multiplayer.

Garry's mod multiplayer must have at least over a hundred game modes and many different maps to choose from. Gmod Dark rp must be the most popular multiplayer mode out there because it has many maps to it and you get literally play it for days and never get bored. Some other popular game modes are zombie survival and trouble in terrorist town. Though bad things also can happen such as admin abuse, people prop killing and guys that buy guns from your shop and then kill you with them. I have experienced all of these and they are not good and will get crazy annoying that you will just have to leave the server.

In total all you really need in life is some source games, Garry's mod and a good computer. Garry's mod probably is the best game out there if you think about it. Please post comments and how you think about Garry's mod.

Dishonored Review

This week I played the game Dishonored, Dishonored is one of the hardest games I have ever played mostly because I am not very good at stealth games. Even though I'm not good at Dishonored I still loved playing it, the game has great graphics and some really cool action. In Dishonored you cant go in guns'u blazing because then you will certainly die quickly you have to be silent and tricky (If you think about it this game is a lot like Splinter Cell). I do love this game because its very challenging and is also kind of scary because the first time I saw those hell hound things chase after me I was peein my pants. This game has an incredibly interesting story and is quite like Bioshock as well as Splinter Cell. In a way I kind of found some of the enemy's to look like Combine from Half-Life. This game is very lengthy and tome consuming so you will get your moneys worth. There is much more to this game that you should find out for yourself it is only twenty dollars on amazon, so check it out.

Halo Series Review

Halo is one of the most well known video game series of all time many people love it and many people hate it. People love it because it has an incredibly interesting story, awesome game play and spectacular graphics. People hate it because its only on Xbox, it takes a whole clip to kill a guy and its better than Call of Duty (These are horrible reasons but they are what people say). Halo is one of the greatest video game series of all time because it has such an interesting story that it produced books, action figures and movies which many video game series do not have.

Halo 1 is about the battle over the first halo ring. You play as Master Chief one of the last surviving Spartans and fight the Covenant and the Flood. The game is very long and has a great multiplayer. It can be found as Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition on the Xbox 360, Halo Combat Evolved on the original Xbox and PC.

Halo 2 is a battle for a planet. You play as Master Chief  and the Arbiter fighting the Covenant and the Flood.. The game is quite long and has some cool missions. Halo 2 can be found on the original Xbox, the PC and hopefully one day the Xbox One for an anniversary edition.

Halo 3 is where you fight for earth in Africa as the Master Chief against the Flood and the Covenant. You fight along side the Arbiter and Sergeant Johnson. The campaign is long, much like the others and has a very incredible plot. Halo 3 can be found on the Xbox 360 and maybe even one day they will make an anniversary edition of it.

Halo Reach you fight for the planet Reach. You play as Noble six a strong and worthy spartan who fights to the end. In the campaign you fight just the Covenant. Halo Reach's multiplayer is my favorite multiplayer of all time. Halo Reach can be found on Xbox 360.

Halo 4 is the return of the Master Chief as your fight your way through Requim battling the Covenant and the Promethean's. The games story is epic and depressing in ways. The multiplayer and forge could be better. Halo 4 is available for the Xbox 360.

Halo is so good and deserves to be played by more people. Sorry we did not include Halo Wars or ODST they aren't really part of the series. Please leave comments and which Halo game is your favorite.

Rome 2 Total War Review

Today is the day that Rome 2 Total War was released and played it as soon as i could. This is probably the best game I have played all year. It has amazing graphics on the campaign map and on the battlefield. Has some great game play, all units follow orders well and fight hard. The game has so many options , you can play as a good amount of large factions conquering small and independent other factions. Naval battles are crazy awesome but much more difficult than land battles. In the custom battle menu you can do way more than just the regular land, sea and siege such as ambush battles, coastal battles and a few others. I love how detailed the city's and units are it makes it seem almost better looking than real life. One thing that I was quite shocked about was how they added the Rome shell (The Rome shell is a place to type in cheat codes you get to it by pressing this key `). Hopefully one of these days we will have cheats up for you. Overall Rome 2 has some of the best graphics and best game play I have ever seen and it is worth more than sixty dollars. I highly recommend getting this game.

Lord of The Rings War in The North Review

This week I played Lord of The Rings War in The North. This game surprised me in many ways, the graphics were decent, the gore level was unusually high and it has a very interesting story. The games graphics were surprisingly very good and all of the enemy's and structures made me feel like I was actually in the LOTR universe. The gore level was intensely high which is strange considering that most games made off of movies do not contain much blood. With the sword you have the ability to chop off legs, arms and heads. Be aware a good hit to a goblin will make it explode. The story is incredibly interesting because in War in The North you fight a separate campaign in the north (duh). But the main cool thing is that the war for the ring is going on while you're fighting in the north to kind of hold back the orc's northern forces. In all LOTR War in the North is a very good game and I would say it is worth the cash if you are a hardcore LOTR fan. The story is incredibly long and can be difficult so you will get many hours of playtime.

Mount and Blade Warband Brytenwalda mod review

This week I downloaded and played and new mod for Mount and Blade Warband called Brytenwalda. Brytenwalda is a huge map of Britain with more factions than I can count. Brytenwalda is probably the most well developed mod I have ever seen, it include a stamina bar, weapons braking, and naval combat. Strangely all of the custom battles are navy battles but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Brytenwalda also adds huge and beautiful cities and castles that look amazing. This mod also features not just cities and towns but monastery's, mines, ruins and ports. Brytenwalda is a must have for all modders and can be found on Mod DB, Desura and many other sites. I give it a 9/10 because it is so well developed but can be a little bit frustrating at times.

X:Rebirth lets you walk around your ship

If you miss the cockpit view available in X2: The Threat then you will go crazy for this. You can literally walk around in your ship or a space station you docked in. You will be able to talk to your crew members and tell them what to do. The game will not be featuring SETA, the gadget that makes time go faster. Instead the game will have a type of space highway. I have mixed feelings about this. It also looks like factories are bigger and have more detail. The game will feature massive constructs, however it won't be one big health bar. Each section of the building can be damaged. Every little detail like can have dramatic effects on the games economy. I would buy this game if my computer was good enough to handle the graphics.

The Great Next Generation v2

So this is the second version of my original article, in this one i'm going to talk about the great new games coming out and some that haven't been announced but gamers like you and me would like to see them. One awesome new game coming out is Destiny which I am incredibly interested in because of the fact that it is made by Bungie and Activision the company's that make Halo and Call of Duty. To me Destiny looks like Star Wars, Star Trek and Fallout type of game. I know for sure that Destiny will be great. Another game that I am definitely getting is Ryse Son of Rome, not only because I'm a huge history geek but also because it's like a Saving Private Ryan roman edition. One game that was recently announced that I would like to see on the consoles is Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord. Most likely Mount and Blade 2 will not be on the new consoles but I believe it is possible to put it on the consoles. Mount and Blade 2 looks like it's going to be filled with huge battles and amazing graphics, I am also excited to see how the multiplayer and brand new co-op are going to work.

A few games that haven't been formally announced yet that I would love to see are Left 4 Dead 3, Just Cause 3, Half-Life 3, Portal 3, Halo Wars 2, Medieval 3 Total War, Mass Effect 4, Farcry 4, Halo ODST 2, Halo 2 anniversary edition and maybe even a Halo game based on being a marine. It is entirely possible that some of these may come out and some won't but lets keep our hopes up.

Please leave comments and which one of these games you would like to see come out. Thank you.

3 Of The Most Ridiculous Games Ever.

Most gamers have seen there fair share of particularly strange games. The 3 games I am about to mention I have never played and that doesn't really bother me but they could be interesting to you.

1. Afro Samurai
Afro Samurai is based off of an incredibly strange TV series. Afro Samurai is just blood, guts and sex. Afro Samurai's story makes no sense at all and is filled with slicing and dicing heads. There is not much to be said about this game other than that its cheap and can keep you entertained for a few hours. The only console i've seen this game on is the Xbox 360 but it might be on PlayStation.

2. 50 Cent Blood On The Sand.
Well I think when a video game is based on a singer and it's not about singing that just doesn't make sense. 50 cent blood on the sand looks like a killtrocity game that lets you pile up the bodies for fun. 50 cent blood on the sand looks like a game that's not worth the money but I guess if you're a fan of him and mature rated video games this is for you. 50 cent blood on the sand is definitely for Xbox but I don't think its on anything else.

3. Lollipop Chainsaw
I'm a little bit confused about this game. I don't see anybody that would this other then a perverted weirdo. Well to me it looks like its a basic gore-fest with a really bad story and tons of sex. That's all I have to say I guess.

So as you can see these games are incredibly strange and violent. I will probably never buy any of these, ever.

Making Video Games

I am going to warn you that I do not actually know how to make video games but in this article I am going to explain the challenges and other things on how to make, advertise and sell your very own video games. So making video games is the hardest part and if you are looking to make money off of it you're going to have to spend money first. You are going to have to spend your money on game creators and substance designers you do not need both but each will help you, substance designers can be found on steam and game creators can easily be found off the internet. Be aware that game creators and substance designers are not cheap and I have never seen one under eighty dollars. Why not just pirate a game creator, well that is braking the law and I do not want you to get arrested. Game Creators will guide you step by step on making your game. Once your game is finished and it is a fact that is fun and enjoyable is when you can sell it or advertise it, I think the easiest way to sell it is to put on a disk or flash drive and sell it your friends or if you are willing to take the risk you could sell it at a yard sale or something. When advertising your game take about on any social networks someone is bound to see it and possibly be interested. In all making video games is not easy and you're going to have to spend money to make it, But if you really want to create a video game keep trying and never give up. Please post comments and if you have recently made a video game I would love to see it. Thank you.

The Great Next Generation

With the whole new era of consoles and computers comes great news for the modern day gamer. That news is that games are getting greater, running better and there are more games being produced. The Xbox One contains tons of new features that help out your gaming experience such as the voice commands to turn the Xbox on and off, in-game screen recorder (which is my favorite mentioned so far) and Blu-ray plus more ways for a great amount off entertainment. Many new games such as Dead Rising 3 are said to have absolutely no loading times at all. Overall the next generation is going to be amazing except for a few minor setbacks like the kinect for the Xbox One has to be on when ever you play. I don't believe that is a problem but it is unnecessary. So as you can see I am excited for the next generation, I hope you are too. Please post comments. Thank you.

Left 4 Dead vs. Dead Rising

Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising happen to be very difficult to compare because of the fact that Left 4 Dead is a first person mission by mission game and Dead Rising is a third person free-roam game but it is still possible. Left 4 Dead offers you a very good amount of zombie action and also a great multiplayer experience. Left 4 Dead is a mission by mission game that you can do online, by yourself or with a friend on co-op. Left 4 Dead is epic and full of action because the zombies can run so they are alot faster than you are. Dead Rising is a third person game where you can run around a mall or a casino doing missions or just plain old having fun. In Dead Rising almost all items are weapons so don't be afraid to kick a soccer ball in a zombies face. Dead Rising has no multiplayer so that's a negative but its campaign is long and has the most re-playable value. Dead Rising also allows you to build your own weapons and but different clothes on your character. One thing that Left 4 Dead has that Dead Rising doesn't is different kinds of zombies such as tanks, smoker and other strange things and each have there own unique ability. Both offer a huge amount of zombie slaughter so i'm going to have to say its a tie. Please post comments and who you think should have won. Thank you.

5 Great Movies/TV Shows That Produced Horrible Video Games

Today I am going to show you 5 of the best movies/TV shows that ended up getting there own video game and having it be horrible. On most of these you will agree with me.

1. The Lord Of The Rings
Lord of The Rings is probably the most famous fantasy movie series of all time. But it produced some horrible video games such as Lord of The Rings Conquest. Lotr Conquest had the potential to be great because of the massive battles and long campaign. But what Lotr Conquest messed up the most in was death because after you died three times, game over which means you have to start the whole level over. Lotr Conquest does have good co-op but after about 20 min you can't stand it any more. Lotr Conquest does get unbelievably repetitive because there's a boss at the end of every mission that never gets harder and also the AI enjoys getting stabbed to death. Another interesting thing that Lotr Conquest actually does add is the ability to play as the humans and the orcs which is cool but the levels aren't that different. Now lets move on to Lotr War in the North, Lotr War in the North wasn't bad because its very time consuming and you can have a lot of fun with the gore system. Although Lotr War in the North is very repetitive as well as Lotr Conquest. Both the games I mentioned are not bad games but could be better, there are also alot more Lotr games but those are just the ones that i found the worst.

2. Star Wars
Most Star Wars  games were spectacular but there's one I didn't find very good and that's Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2. Star Wars The Force Unleashed is a sequel to the original Force Unleashed, The original Force Unleashed was a great game. But the 2nd Force Unleashed I did not like. The 2nd Force Unleashed was short, I think the story made no sense at all and it was too easy. There were only 4 main missions which reminds me of the game Home Front that was too short also. I could barely understand the story at all, some how the guy you play as is a clone of the original guy? Being a Sith Lord basically means that storm troopers have no chance in fighting so why send them in because each one takes two hits and loses all their limbs. Almost all Star Wars games are great except for this one, the great ones are Republic Commando, Battlefront 2 and the new Knights of the Old Republic MMO.

3. Terminator
Just about all terminator games were pretty bad but i'm going to talk about the most recent and that is Terminator Salvation which I thought was not bad but alot of people would disagree with me on that statement. When I played Terminator Salvation the graphics were bad and the AI was pathetic but the cover system made me feel like i was playing Gears of War. It had some good action and heavy fire situations but eventually it would get very repetitive. Terminator Salvation also did have a hard to understand story line because I couldn't tell if it had anything to do with the movie. Terminator Salvation wasn't bad but could be better.

4. Defiance
I have never seen the Defiance TV show so I can't tell you much about the story but i'm pretty sure it has almost nothing to do with the show. Defiance is extremely repetitive because the enemy never gets any harder and neither do the quests. Defiance is one of the very few MMO's for the consoles. But sometimes doing a mission could cause extreme lag and an unbelievable amount of bullet rain. Defiance is not bad but lacks in a few categories.

5. The Walking Dead
When I got the joy of playing The Walking Dead Survival Instinct I wanted to throw up it was so bad. The Zombies are incredibly stupid and enjoy getting stabbed in the face. The maps never change and the allied AI is just as stupid as the zombies. Its really depressing seeing a great TV series turned into a horrible video game. The Walking Dead Survival Instinct is probably the worst I mentioned out of all of these.

Most of the games are bad but some better than others you can buy them at your own risk but don't say I didn't warn you. Please post comments and tell me which game you think is the worst out of all of these. Thank you.

5 Games That Are So Awesome That They get There Own Movies

Movies based off of videogames are always so awesome and amazing because they usually contain all the different things that happened in that particular video game. Today I am going to show you the 5 games that have their own movies.

1. Halo

Halo is just so awesome and has such a great story line that it deserves its own movie. So the movie that came out for Halo was Halo Legends and Halo Legends was mostly anime but occasionally it would switch over to regular cartoon. Halo Legends is very good and it adds some backstory to the Halo universe, if you like Halo and anime movies Halo Legends is definitely for you. Halo also produced a small YouTube TV show called Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn this whole show was a real people show so that made it more interesting. Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn came out on disc right about the time Halo 4 came out so its a good thing to get if you liked Halo 4. Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn's special effects and slow motion was pretty impressive for a small YouTube series.

2. Assassins Creed

I could be mistaken but I do believe there is an Assassins Creed movie called Assassins Creed Lineage. Be aware I have not seen this movie before but I know it exists. What I do know is that Assassins Creed Lineage is a prequel movie to the Assassins Creed franchise so if you're looking for a little backstory to the assassins this is your movie

3. Doom
 
Doom was based off of a very old game released on some of the oldest consoles ever built and it was incredibly popular. The Doom movie was filled with gore, swearing and nudity which made it very awesome. In the Doom movie the team fights zombies and some strange other things.  I highly recommend watching the Doom movie if you love the classical video game.
 
4. Farcry
 
I have never played the original Farcry game but I am pretty sure that the movie is based off of it. The movie had some hardcore action and a some what humorous story at least I found it to be humorous. The Farcry movie can be found on Netflix so I recommend it to people who like the Farcry video game .
 
5. Dead Space
Dead Space happens to be in a lot of the top 5 categories so I guess it must be pretty popular. There are 2 Dead Space movies each is a cartoon but each filled with extreme gore and a lot of swearing and it is very entertaining. The first one Dead Space Downfall is a good movie that tells the backstory of the first game. I believe Dead Space Aftermath is based off of the first game I have never seen it that is why I don't know. Both movies can be found on Netflix so check them out if you like Dead Space.
 
All these movies are great (Are you kidding me they're based off of video games of course their great) so I recommend watching all of them. Please post comments and what video game movies are your favorite.

Another cool New Vegas mod

When I was deciding a title for this post I wasn't sure if I would call this mod a Fallout New Vegas mod or a Fallout 3 mod (it is technically a New Vegas mod because it uses the New Vegas engine). What it does is fuses the two games together to make one game.You can get to the Mojave wasteland from the Capitol wasteland. If you think it would be boring because you would reach the level cap, then you would be suprised. The game comes with a plugin for experience reduction. It makes you gain half the experience you would normally get, hence double the playtime. If you have ever heard of a reqium for the Capitol wastland, it is very similar. Reqium for the Capitol wastland was taken down from nexus mods because of a misunderstanding on Betheseda's website. The new mod is called a Tale of two Wastlands and can be found at http://www.taleoftwowastelands.com/.

Be aware though the mod is still in alpha.
Anything can happen. I think I will wait on this one.

Are Video Game's Today Getting too Easy


These day’s video games have been getting very simple in the campaign. What ever happened to three lives and game over. Today I am going to show you five reasons why video games are getting too easy.

1.       In some video games like Call of Duty they have allowed an in-game difficulty change from the start menu. So if there’s a hard part no problem just switch it to easy and you’ll do just fine. If you’re going to beat a game fair keep it at the same difficulty the whole time.

2.       Games are also allowing more co-op things like in Halo where you can do a co-op campaign, this isn’t a bad thing but it can still prove to make the game too easy. Such as if you can’t get past a level why not just call in your friends that are better than you and just finish the job.

3.       Most games have also gotten of the health bar which means when you get shot you can just automatically heal yourself when you’re in cover like in Call of Duty. Battlefield does contain the health bar but your health still will regenerate without a health pack (you heal faster with a health pack). Halo was the only game I have played in a while that you have to find a health pack to heal yourself; the shields will regenerate, just not your initial health.

4.       Games have also started to allow perks which let you see through walls to find where the enemy is. Such as in Halo it is promethean vision that lets you see through walls.

5.       Games also have equipment and kill streak rewards that allow you to see through walls. In Call of Duty there is a sight that allows you to know where the enemy is inside a building. In Medal of Honor Warfighter you can get a kill streak reward that allows you to see through walls, it may be a kill streak reward but it is still unneeded.

So know you see that games today are just getting too easy it could be because the companies that made the game want you to get your money’s worth, which is nice but unnecessary. Do you agree with me? Please post comments. Thank you.

How to manually mod Fallout: New Vegas





So you want to learn how to mod Fallout: New Vegas manually? That's what I thought. Be aware that this is for STEAM!!!! This is a steam guide to mod fallout new vegas. First, go to Computer/Local Disc(C:)/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/fallout new vegas/data. Once you're there, you need to download the mod you want to have (which you can find lots of here), and then extract it. In order to extract it you will need a file archiver like 7zip. 7zip is free and very easy to use. Here is the link. Don't worry it is very safe and reliable. Extract your mod somewhere easy to access (like your desktop) and then, before anything else, read the readme file that mods almost always come with. It is very important you do this. Now, open up whatever folder that the mod comes with that you extracted that has the data in it. Highlight and cut the texture and sounds folder, then move everything into the data folder for the game. Now paste the texture and sound folder. When it asks you to overwrite or replace, click yes to all. Now take the esp or esm or both if it came with both, and move them to the data folder as well. Launch New Vegas, click data files on the launcher, check the esp/esm/both, and launch the game. Your done. 

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II Review


Star Wars: The Force Unleashed two is a moderately long game. It has its ups, but so, so many downs. I will start with what's good about it. First off, I really enjoy the force powers that you learn; such as the mind control one that allows you to turn the enemy against each other. I also enjoy the environments. They are very colorful and large with lots of detail, but also kind of empty on some planets and missions. Another thing I enjoyed was the dual lightsabers with customizable colors and upgrades. They added a feeling of power and expertise. And now onto the bad parts of the game. First of all, when I first got it, it was very slow. There was nothing set that my computer couldn't handle but for some reason it was like watching a game slow motion. I had to mess with settings for hours before it worked almost "Magically." Another terrible thing about the game was the story. The story was completely awful. You are a clone of the original Starkiller that is still flawed. You are too be disposed of- until they get the clone they are looking for. You still have memories of Juno from the first game, and you are going completely crazy about it in the beginning. I personally hated the idea of being a clone that wasn't a clone trooper. You are to be killed, but instead you break out, and escape the planet that you are trapped on (Kamino). From there on the missions felt very pointless and rushed, with you just fighting lots of enemies and the occasional boss fight. The whole story that had a lot of potential was washed away with a very rushed, very confusing, very DULL story (if you can call it that). You are just killing lots of enemies and throwing stuff with the force until the final boss. The ending was by far the worst ending I have ever seen in video game history. It was complete crap. In this section I will not spoil it. Scroll down for the ending.



SPOILER ALERT: Game Ending

The ending for Star Wars: The force Unleashed II went a bit like this, You're fighting Darth Vader after stumbling into a very large cloning chamber that is trying to re-create Starkiller... but one that will do Vaders bidding. You don't like this (?) and begin fighting him. After you finish the fight with mentally retarded clones and Darth Vader, you are about to kill him, and save the galaxy all sorts of trouble, when the blind old man Rahm Kota runs in there and yells "No! We can take him prisoner!" Your character disagrees, but they don't go into an argument. The game ends with a wonderful staring contest between Starkiller and Rahm Kota. Then the credits roll.
 
 
Synopsis
All in all, I thought the game was very, very bad. The story was barely developed, the settings are bugged, it got repetitive, and it had the worst ending ever. Ever. I will rate this game 2/10. It had its good gameplay customization and okay fighting, but overall, the game just sucked. I got it for $5, and it wasn't even worth it. If you get this game, get it for $1. That's about all its worth.

Steam summer sales are awsome

Today I just want to warn the general public that if you don't buy something in the Steam summer sale you are wasting money and you are an idiot. This is one of the best sales Steam has had in a long time. I can't believe the amount of things on sale.There were even a few items on sale from my wishlist including the kerbal space program and Kinetic Void.

Also Steam has expanded upon their trading cards. Previously they could only be obtained by playing certain games. Now you can get them by purchasing games during the summer sale. Personally I don't collect them. I just sell them on the Steam market. All I can say is thank you Steam.

How to Install Fallout New Vegas Mods

If you are not very tech savvy then you found the right advice. If you want to use mods I recommend using nexus mods. You can find them here. They have a large amount of mods available for multiple games including Bethesda games. To install the mods you should download their mod manager found here. It is very easy to set up and does the work for you. This is certainly not the only way to install mods, but I would say it is probably the easiest way. Happy modding!

Fallout 1 Remake

If you are a hardcore Fallout fan then i'm sure this caught your eye. It's actually a mod for New Vegas. The mod is currently in beta and can be found on nexusmods here. It is basically Fallout 1 in first person. This mod has made a lot of progress since it was started. It is fully voice acted and I think it has a lot of potential.

Half life 3 on the way?

Half life is one of my favorite game series. I'm sure the case is the same for many others. Valve did an amazing job with them. We have been waiting for years to the continuation of the cliffhanger ending of episode 2. There is a lot of story to work with. What happened to the combine? I'm sure there are at least some left on earth. What about the ship "Borealis"? If you think even farther back what about our HECU friend Adrian Shephard? There are many more questions, but we won't know until Half life 3 comes out. I don't see why the game won't come out. I hope this vaporware title ends well.

The 5 Best Video Game Series

There are many different video game series and some are better than others. Today I am going to show you the top 5 best video game series of all time.

1. Halo.
Halo is one of the most popular first person shooter's of the modern day. In each Halo game you fight the Covenant which are an extremely powerful alien race who's goal in all the Halo game's is to destroy humanity. In Halo 1,2,3 and 4 you play as master chief one of the last surviving spartan's and you protect earth and many other planets as well. In Halo 4 you fight the Covenant and the Promethean's, the Promethean's are the guardians of the forerunner's. In Halo Reach you play as Noble 6 and fight with a whole squad of spartan's. Halo Reach is basically a prologue to the Halo universe. Halo 3 ODST you fight with a squad of ODST's against the Covenant. Halo 3 ODST is almost like a free-roam game but you still have to complete the mission.

2. Gears of War.
The Gears of War games are extremely awesome and action packed. Gears of War is an epic battle to defend Sierra (the planet) from the monsters within. Unlike Halo in Gears of War the monsters come from underground. Gears of War is based in 3rd person and you can almost use anything as cover. Gears of War can be extremely difficult but that makes it even more awesome. In Gears of War you may think you are fighting a war to defend the planet, part of that is true but not all of it. You have already lost the war you are basically a resistance fighting to stay alive. The newest Gears of War, Judgement is a prologue to the the first, second and third game.

3. Resident Evil.
Resident Evil probably has the most well developed story of all the ones I am going to mention. Resident Evil started on some of the earliest consoles ever made. Resident Evil has more games than all the ones I am going to mention it has 6 main games and a few other ones like Resident Evil Revelations and Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City. Each Resident Evil can be scary and super awesome, you fight tons of different enemies like zombies, crazy people and some really huge frightening things. Resident Evil is in 3rd person and has a great team work factor. Resident Evil also has a few movies so check them out if you have the time.

4. Mass Effect
Mass Effect is based in 3rd person and has an epic story line. In Mass Effect you fight tons of huge monsters, little aliens and evil robots. Mass Effect can be extremely boring just like Deus Ex where you have half an hour conversations with people. Mass Effect almost has the exact same cover system as Gears of War which is really cool. One thing that's very interesting in Mass Effect is that if you own the whole trilogy your person's stats and things carry on from the first game to the second and from the second to the third. Mass Effect also has extremely good graphics and game play.

5. Dead Space.
Dead Space was also included in the top 5 scariest games but it also has such a great story that it deserves to be in the top 5 best video game series. So as you know Dead Space is extremely horrifying, gory, and action packed. In Dead Space you play as Isaac an engineer who always ends up having to fix things. In Dead Space 1 you are on a mining ship that is huge and filled with vents that the necromorphs jump out of and attack you. In Dead Space 2 you are in a space station filled with thousands of necromorphs, Dead Space 2 is so big that it takes up two discs. In Dead Space 3 you are on the planet where the artifact came from and it is extremely awesome because you are on a planet fighting the necromorphs, what's cooler than that.

I love all of these games and you could too so check them out if you have the time. Please leave comments and which series is your favorite. Thank You.

Are Xbox Live Indie Games Worth It

Xbox live indie games are a big part of the Xbox store. Almost every single indie game is only 80 Microsoft points or one dollar. Indie games are basically flash games just better and bigger ones that cost money. Most indie games are horrible but it's understandable because indie games are made by beginner video game creators. But not all indie games are that bad some like Zombie Estate and Total Miner Forge are actually pretty fun. There are different categories of the indie games such as the ones that rip off Minecraft, zombies, tower defense, aliens and Japanese anime porn if your that kind of pervert. Most of those categories have some good games out of them so don't think all indie games are bad. I don't recommend buying indie games unless you just want to try it because you have left over Microsoft points. If you do have a large amount of Microsoft points buy an arcade game or dlc instead of spending it all on indie games. Please leave comments on what you think of indie games.

Top 5 Best Free-Roam Games

Free-roam games are peoples favorite games because of the fact that you can do anything and go anywhere. Today I am going to show you some of the best free-roam games of all time.

1. Grand Theft Auto.

Grand Theft Auto is probably the most well-known and most liked free-roam game of all time, everybody that plays can't get enough. Grand Theft Auto's extremely large world and modern day atmosphere make you feel like your in New York City. The campaign is rarely ever played so I say if your going to get this game get it for the fun who cares about the campaign. Grand Theft Auto is extremely violent and sexual so be at the right age if you are going to play this game. Grand Theft Auto also has some awesome Easter eggs so be on the look out for them.

2. Saints Row.
 
Saints Row is one of the messed up games I have ever played but it is extremely fun and extremely stupid. Saints Row has an interesting story that makes little sense but once again who cares about the story its a free-roam game for crying out loud. Saints Row has some cool cheats such as the one where you can turn all civilians into zombies. Saints Row is extremely easy but same as Grand Theft Auto it is extremely violent and can be extremely sexual. My favorite thing about the game though is how you can drive planes, helicopters and awesome sports cars.
 
3. Just Cause.
 
Just Cause 2 has great graphics and grand explosions. Just Cause 2 is extremely good because you can go anywhere and do anything. In Just Cause 2 it is extremely easy and fun. Just Cause 2's story is actually good and if I where you I'd do it just to unlock more stuff. Just Cause 2 is also very long and very fast paced. In Just Cause you can drive almost everything boats, cars, helicopters, and huge airplanes. Why did I blow up that tank, Just Cause I want 2.
 
4. Red Dead Redemption.
 
Red Dead Redemption is awesome, it is a western based free-roaming game. Your vehicles are horses and your enemies are bandits and baddies. In the game your a good guy so don't kill civilians unless you want the police coming after you. The Quests are actually good and increase the map space and the size of your wallet. Quests also increase the amount of fame and glory you have. The games free-roam feature is great because you can do anything you want such as get drunk, tie people to train tracks and play with the cattle. I recommend getting this game if your a fan of the west and you like free-roam games. Red Dead Redemption also supports Red Undead Redemption which is a zombie add-on.
 
5. Red Faction Guerilla.
Personally Red Faction Guerilla is my favorite out of all of those because the game is full destruction there is almost nothing you can't tear down to the ground. The games story is spectacular and you can get in massive battles. You can only drive cars no planes or helicopters but that's ok because it's still great. The games enemies can be hard and easy at certain times to fight. Upgrades and new weapons can be purchased not with money but with salvage acquired from destroyed buildings. The game has a huge map that is based on Mars.
 
If you like free-roam games or never played free-roam games try out some of these I think you will like them. Please post comments and what your favorite game is out of all those.





Medal of Garbage

Over the past couple days I was playing Medal of Honor Warfighter. My experience with the game was a little bit depressing. Medal of Honor Warfighter has a glitch in about every mission you  play. The game is overly repetitive, can be extremely boring, and the graphics are horrible. I can't believe that the graphics are that bad, even in the cut scenes they are horrible. Medal of Honor also copied a ton of games it copied Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 the most. The story try's to be depressing and deep but it makes me laugh. I do like how the game continues after Medal of Honor 2010 with the same characters and introduces some new ones. The Multiplayer is the worst because I found one person in the whole world playing it (unbelievable). The game had the potential to be great but it wasn't. I don't recommend getting this game until its about 5 dollars.

Halo on Xbox 1

The reclaimer series started with Halo 4, however, it may not end with Halo 6. Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft Game Studios, told gamespot that Halo on Xbox 1 is not going to be a trilogy, but will be more of a saga. This could mean a lot for the Halo series. We don't even know if the next Halo game is going to be Halo 5. That would make sense why they are simply calling it Halo on Xbox 1. I don't know about you, but I am very excited about this. The next game is expected to come out in 2014.

5 of the Most Realistic Games Ever

 1. The Ghost Recon Series.
Usually all Tom Clancy games are pretty realistic but that doesn't stop them from being good. In the Ghost Recon games you can command highly trained soldiers in each mission, each mission is always filled with a fair amount of action, stealth and strategy. The Graphics of the newest Ghost Recon are spectacular not as much for the other ones though but that doesn't stop them from being good. Each Ghost Recon normally has the use of vehicles and every time you die you switch to a new person in your squad. I believe the Ghost Recon series is a little harder to play on the PC because of the fact that almost every key does something and its hard to figure things out. Today the older Ghost Recon games are really cheap so look into them if you have the time.

2. The Rainbow Six Series.
The Rainbow Six games are also made by Tom Clancy so its bullet to the foot and your dead. Unlike in Ghost Recon where you command soldiers in the Rainbow Six games you command FBI and anti-terrorist units which is just as challenging and just as awesome. Rainbow Six has many more games than Ghost Recon but some are better than others. The graphics in most of them except for the two Rainbow Six Vegas games are horrible but that doesn't stop them from being good. Mostly all Rainbow Six games are on the older consoles (some are good some are bad). Just like with Ghost Recon try to avoid getting them on the computer they're just as complicated. Rainbow Six games are all very cheap. Hopefully Rainbow Six Patriots comes out soon we need a new Rainbow Six game.

3. Arma 2.
Arma 2 is one of the most well known games of the century but the reason its well known is for its unbelievable realism. Its almost like you are really out on the field of battle with bullets flying past your head then one hits you in the knee cap and you bleed out in the grass while your yelling for a medic to take you to cover. Arma 2 has some of the greatest battle simulations of all time. In Arma 2 you get to use vehicles and command your squad as well. Be aware every single key on the keyboard does something (I'm serious). Arma 2 also supports one of the most awesome mods ever and that's Day Z, Day Z is an awesome game where you fight zombies and other players while trying to stay alive.

4. Counter Strike Games.
Today you can barely find anyone playing the original or Counter Strike Source so the only thing your fighting are bots. You may think bots are stupid and so easy to kill, well your life is going to change when you  play Counter Strike Source those bots are the most intelligent bots I have ever seen. They think just like a human they camp, run around with shotguns killing everything but the bad thing is every shot they take is a head shot and you die instantly. The only reason why I bought Counter Strike was to make Garry's mod run better and it does. On the newest Counter Strike is where you can find people so get that one if your looking to buy a Counter Strike game any time soon. Although Counter Strike is mostly multiplayer with a wide range of game modes most people like it.

5. Deus Ex Human Revolution
You may not think this game is hard but that's probably because you have never played it. Deus Ex on easy is still really hard. Deus Ex is a very strategic game the choices you make change the way the game is and the way you fight increases or decreases your chances of death. Deus Ex has a really interesting story but can get annoying at times such as where you have multiple objectives at once and when you get there all you have to do is interview someone and they talk for half an hour then give you another objective. Deus Ex can be extremely boring but once you get to the action its really good. Check out Deus Ex its pretty cheap right now.

So those are some of the most realistic games I have ever played and I highly recommend getting a couple because they're good.
