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
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.
