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.
