Braedans Invincible Armor Review

Hello, this is our 2nd mod for Fallout New Vegas its called Braedans Invincible Armor. It can be found on the pool table in the prospector saloon in Goodsprings. It contains a helmet and the regular armor. So just to clear this up it doesn't make you completely invincible, just hard to kill. I know some of you may say oh its just boosted power armor and you're exactly right but may I remind you I am new to modding and this is a good way to start (at least I think so). You require power armor training to use it. So basically is just very strong armor. I guarantee you in the future I will make better mods, this is only the beginning. Please check it out on the Fallout New Vegas Nexus. Also take a look at our other mod, Dans Plasma Defender.

Darkest of Days Review

Darkest of Days is quite an old game, but that doesn't stop it from being amazing. In Darkest you are founded by futuristic time travelers during General Custers last stand and they take you into the future where you are assigned to an elite task force to go back in time and save important history people. In the game you fight through the Civil war, WW1, a little bit of WW2, and even the eruption of the volcanoe in Pompeii. You don't only fight Confederates, Romans, and Germans you also fight another time travel task force group trying to stop you. Let me just say the battles are awesome, you can get in huge line battles in the civil war and massive trench battles in world war 1.  You get to use weapons from the time you are in, and even futuristic weapons, where you are basically bringing a machine gun to a musket fight. This game is epic and does not disappoint, the graphics are spectacular for its time and everything runs pretty smoothly. The story is pretty strange but also very surprising and suspenseful. At the end of the game some crazy stuff happens that helps you understand the story better but at the end the thing i found strange was, that the last words you hear are ", what do we do now Morris." So at the end it basically leads up to the second one but there never was one and this game is quite old, it deserves a sequal. This game was pretty unpopular and deserved more attention. Hopefully some game dev's unearth this game and decide to make a sequel for next gen ( we can only hope ). So overall I recommend you buy this game so you can experience some cool and epic battles and then you can help contribute to hopefully making this game more popular so there can be a sequel.

Another Call of Duty, Seriously?

As some of you may know there is already a new Call of Duty game coming out and what I thought the first time I saw the trailer was, wait didn't one just come out a month ago. So in the trailer it shows some pretty cool stuff actually like jumping from cars, climbing walls, driving hover motorcycles er something, and some weird guy talking about democracy. I have to say in the trailer all the footage was captured on Xbox One and the graphics look absolutely spectacular. The trailer seemed to be mostly about the story but who really cares about the story, no one plays that anyway. What truly amazes me though is how did Call of Duty already pump out another game, well here's how, 3 companies now contribute to making the Call of Duty franchise and each year one company comes out with a game. What I wonder is why can't they all work together spend like 3 to 5 years and make an amazing game, it seems like they aim for quantity over quality. I recommend that you do look up the trailer cause right now the new one actually looks kind of cool but that could change. My main thought is why can't Call of Duty spend time on a game. Please leave a comment if you agree.

Prison Architect Review

Prison Architect is a game that is exactly what the title states, you are a prison architect. In this game you can start your prison from scratch with just builders and a delivery truck. In just minutes you can already have a detention center running with all the basic necessities such as holding cells, showers, mess halls, and even a yard for the prisoners. This games graphics may seem unappealing and the people look somewhat strange but let me tell you this game does not disappoint. Its quite easy and extremely addicting and there is a wide range of things for you to do. You can complete challenges to earn money and the more prisoners you have the higher the daily cash flow. The game always presents its self with new challenges for you to face such as having enough money to get more prison cells and other buildings, stopping escapes, and sometimes even massive riots happen. In one of my experiences I was running low on money so I took out a ton of bank loans that later on caused me to go bankrupt and my prisoners were very upset and rioted, I had to call in riot shield squads and retake buildings from them. It was really awesome and I was not mad even though my prison had collapsed and the game ended. This is a game that you just can't get mad at. To prevent riots and escapes you need to set up fences, walls, and even guard patrols. There is a massive amount of things to research and build, the game almost never gets old. You need to either keep security or happiness up because if your missing both, good luck. Prison Architect is still in alpha but feels like a finished game, everything runs super smooth. I would love to see what prison architect adds in later updates, maybe guard towers. I highly recommend buying this game you will love it no matter what, my only suggestion is wait for a sale. The game also includes steam workshop where you can get other peoples prisons and even overhaul mods that make the game awesome ( I have one where it makes the prison look like a Nazi POW camp, I recommend it). Overall this game is great and has awesome future potential, if you don't have it already, you need it.

Titanfall Review

Titanfall is currently the newest game for Xbox One and probably the best. Lets just start with saying the graphics are amazing and cannot be beaten as of now, unless you have an amazing PC. Currently Titanfall is only on Xbox One and PC but will be going to 360 soon ( Haha cry about it PlayStation). The game introduces a whole new way to have epic multiplayer battles, it adds very basic parkour but you can still look and feel just as awesome as you do playing Mirrors Edge. I would summarize the game to be everything you have ever wanted, Battlefield, Mirrors Edge, and Transformers combined. The game contains plenty of maps and I must say that I like all of them they are all extremely well done and the scenery they have in the background looks great, basically the maps have so much detail. For example in one of the maps called Boneyard these dragons in the scenery will sometimes come down, pick you up, and carry you away. Sadly there are not many weapons but I hope the game releases some dlc's that contain new weapons. The AI in the multiplayer suck at fighting but were programmed excellently with the way they talk to each other and the way they move I enjoy sometimes just watching the AI do stuff. Honestly the campaign I could care less about, it was a multiplayer campaign where you play the same maps as in the multiplayer and do the same objectives it is just presented cinematically. So the campaign loses the point in being a "campaign" also why didn't they do a single player campaign that's sort of necessary now a days. Other than a pointless campaign the game is amazing and I could play it for hours unlike Call of Duty. Speaking of Call of Duty the game was made by some of the people who used to make Call of Duty how did they such a great job with this and not Call of Duty so I must say good for them. Those guys somewhat joined the dark side going from Activision to EA and trust me the dark side is ten times better. So overall there is a lot of fun you can have with this game, it is extremely addicting and very good so I highly encourage you to buy it then tell me what you think.

Battlefield 4 Review

Battlefield 4 was the next game in the fps series with the best multiplayer, Battlefield. Battlefield 4 used the all new frostbite 3 engine which was absolutely beautiful on the Xbox one. It had the long awaited 32 v 32 multiplayer that is so epic. As we all know Battlefield destroys Call of Duty in a comparison and it surely did once more because of all the new vehicles, weapons, and the actually somewhat alright campaign. Battlefield 3's campaign was just terrible I couldn't even stand to see it in the menu, but Battlefield 4 some how did alright with this one. The campaigns story's pretty stupid, its about the Russians, Americans, and Chinese in one massive war, which would probably never happen. Although the story is stupid I did enjoy the combat and over all missions, it felt more multiplayer then campaign which isn't a bad thing. Just like Battlefield 3 you can do some pretty awesome stuff in Battlefield 4, like one time I destroyed a helicopter with a grenade launcher, which is always cool. Ranking up is kind of difficult I find it harder than  Battlefield 3, but that still doesn't stop you from finding those guys who are like level 100 and amazing at the game. There is one thing I found kind of difficult and that is playing the game with friends, In Battlefield 3 you could just invite them from the start menu and they would join your queue but now you have to do something else that I can't explain because I don't understand it. Overall the game is a lot like Battlefield 3 just with new maps, weapons, vehicles and amount of players. It is very good though and I recommend buying it if your one for awesome multiplayer. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think of Battlefield 4. 

Fallout 1 and 2 on android?

If you like Fallout, have an android device, and just found this post then you may be in luck. It is possible to play the original fallout games on android through the emulation of DOS. Here is the tutorial I used to get Fallout 2 running on my Android device. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhJ2zIMFMRM. To do this you need fairy good specs(tegra 3 or up). I'm using my Nvidia Shield with it right now and it runs pretty smooth(for an emulation).

Valve Needs To Step It Up

Valve is one of the best game company's of all time and produced some of my favorite games but i'm pretty confused because valve just stopped making games and are just releasing updates for Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2. Where the hell's Half-Life 3, so many people have been waiting for it yet they waste their time on updates for two games I really don't care for. One thing that also seems to be true is that Valve's afraid of threes because there is no Half-Life 3, Portal 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Dota 3, or Team Fortress 3 which is ridiculous. Maybe they're planning to release them all at once in another orange box, I don't know why they would do that though. They seem to make alot of money why don't they put it to good use. Please tell me what you think about Valve and what they are doing wrong because I think it is up to the community to create a large enough uproar that they will have to make a Half-Life 3 and all those other games as well.

The Dead Linger Alpha Review

The Dead Linger is a PC only zombie survival game, it is in early alpha but it is still pretty fun. In The Dead Linger you have to try and survive from hordes of the undead that currently all look the same as I said though early alpha. You can scavenge through houses, office buildings, and now grocery markets to find food and weapons. One thing I really like about the game is that you can put defenses and other things on your house or building that your in such as boarding up windows or putting a couch in front of the door. They recently added a crafting system where you can create wood fires to warm up at night and now you can also craft defenses like wooden boards and planks, you need to obtain wood to make all these though and you can get wood off of trees by chopping them down with an ax or hatchet.You also need matches to light the fire. Ammo and weapons are not that hard to find same with food. The multiplayer is alright if you have a friend to play it with but it can be laggy. The game also now has animals such as zombie dogs and wild deer, you can hunt the deer for food but the dogs are just annoying. In the next few updates we're expecting to see a bicycle, female zombies/female playable character, and hopefully better graphics and less lag. Overall the game has problems because its in alpha but it has great potential I recommend checking it out on steam or on there website www.thedeadlinger.com to see how the updates are progressing. They're a new game company so they need all the help they can get. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think of The Dead Linger.

Rust Alpha Review

So do you enjoy hardcore MMO's (yeah), do you enjoy Minecraft (yeah), Do you enjoy naked men killing each other with rocks (wait... what). Rust is an epic MMO where you have to survive the elements of nature and other players. Rust is not all about naked men, its about survival of the fittest. In Rust you can join servers of lots of people, few people, or no people it is a game just like dayZ, which I don't like because usually you get killed within five minutes if you join a large server. I enjoy Rust very much because I join empty servers to make it feel like a single player game and also I don't get killed in minutes so I build an awesomely huge house where I can craft weapons tools and other things to improve my chance of survival. Humans aren't the only dangerous things there are bears, wolves, and there used to be zombies but now they're mutants. If you want to build better weapons and other things you have to find blue prints which can be found in pre-built structures and off of dead mutants or other players if you can kill one. Something interesting I thought about the game was that it was kind of like hunger games, you're in a large island you can't escape you're always in danger and every once in a while an airdrop comes in where if your lucky enough to get to it without being killed you can get some good stuff. I got really involved on a server but then they updated the game and I lost the server so I got pretty mad about that. I don't exactly think the game is worth the money while its in alpha and it will certainly be pretty amazing once its finished. Also its made by Garry Newman so it will definitely get finished. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think of Rust Alpha.

Zoo Tycoon Review

Zoo Tycoon was the second game I got for my Xbox One and I thought it was awesome at first but then I realized it was nothing special. The original Zoo Tycoon games were much better they were made by Microsoft Studios and Blue Fang Games, the new one was made by Microsoft Studios and a new company called Frontier and no they are not the frontier everybody knows about though. Frontier is a new video game company I believe and I think they're the ones who brought it to console in the first place, which they did not do very well. Unlike all the other Zoo Tycoon games this one is sort of lacking the feel of customization which it needed to be a Tycoon game, for example: sidewalks are automatically placed when making a new exhibit and you cannot place trees, rocks, or water into your exhibit all you get is a default created exhibit. Another thing the game lacks is animals, in the old Zoo Tycoons there were many different kinds of animals to choose from in the new one there are categories of specific animals and when you press on them all you get is different kinds of that animal. There are many animals they are missing that I would have loved to have seen which are wolves, crocodiles, and ostriches which were three of the main animals in the original games. The game is not all bad though it does have something that I really liked and that is the mini exhibits where you can place small animals like birds, reptiles, and other small things ( That was really cool because I always wanted to have snakes in the original one). The game contains three game modes which are challenge, campaign, and free play. The challenge is basically free play just you have to actually make money. Campaign you play through missions that unlock new areas on the map to play free play, new scenarios, and even a golden statue. In free play you have unlimited money to build whatever you want. There is one major problem that made me stop playing this game and that is that there's a zoo limit, unlike the old ones where you could fill up the map you were on, in this one there is seriously a structure limit which is a huge mistake because don't you think that on the most advanced gaming console in the world you shouldn't have to worry about that. So overall this game is alright but not worth the 50 dollars I spent on it. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think of this game.

Did you know that Nvidia has a game system? I just found out.

I just found out a few weeks ago that Nvidia has a game system. Its called the Nvidia Shield and it looks good. It has one of the most powerful mobile processors around, the tegra 4 and it has 2gb of ram. The Shield also has a 720p display which is perfect for movies or high quality games. The interesting part is that the system has a sort of built in controller. The buttons can be mapped for any game that supports it. It runs on androids Jelly Bean operating system. Android wasn't always taken seriously as a good alternative to other tablets, but it has gained a lot of popularity over the years and lots of game developers have chosen to release their games for it.Some big ones on my list include Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Dead Trigger 2, and Anomaly 2. The main reason that I want this machine though, is because it can actually stream pc games in 720p or 1080p and you can play them anywhere. To do this you need a fairly decent gaming computer with an Nvidia 600 or 700 series graphics card. You also need a pretty good router that supports game streaming. You can find a list of game stream ready routers here or if a new router isn't in the budget I found a spreadsheet about compatible routers here. I did not make the spreadsheet, so if you don't find what you are looking for I cant help that much.

Dans Plasma Defender New Vegas Mod Review

Dans Plasma Defender was made by one of  the writers on this website, Dan Couture ( aka justthathacker on the nexus). The mod is good for a rookie mod creator. All it really is, is a very overpowered plasma defender that can be found in the Mormon Fort in Freeside, it is on the second floor of the tower. You can find this mod on the fallout nexus. Please download it we need all the support we can get and trust me there are many more mods from him and I on the way. Thank You.

Ryse Son Of Rome Review

Ryse Son Of Rome was the first game I ever played for my Xbox One and probably my favorite in the way of graphics at least. Ryse Son Of Rome was an Xbox One launch game, it was made by Microsoft Studios. The graphics of Ryse Son Of Rome are the best graphics I have ever seen on a console. The story of the game was actually quite interesting it was told by a series of flashbacks of the roman general Marius Titus. The game sadly was not all great, I hope you are not looking for it to be educational in a way because it is not, the people down at Microsoft could not get their facts straight. For example they showed that one of emperor Nero's sons was Commodus and that is in fact untrue. I was also somewhat dissapointed with some missions, most of them you fought solo but occasionally you would get some guys that died in one hit which I was very strange because I was hoping to fight in massive battles, considering that it was a new game on probably the most high tech gaming console in the world. The game can be a little bit buggy but it is rare that that will happen. The game actually did include a multiplayer feature which is the arena mode where you can kill barbarians and do other things it tells you to do with a friend or random person of the internet but it is difficult to find a game. So overall the game is very good for a "hack and slash" but has its problems I recommend that you get this game when it is about 20-30 dollars its not exactly worth 60. Please leave a comment and tell me what you thought of the game.

A heartbroken X-series fan

I am very upset to hear about X3 Rebirth's status. I was going to buy the game the day it came out and have another great X experience. The reviews say otherwise. I wont be buying this game for a while. Apparently its glitchy, has bad performance even on some of the best machines around, and is simply too dumbed down. What people expected was another complex space simulator with a full economy that actually works. I quote from the steam user "kraed sandwich" because he had the most helpful review. He said "More than 99% of ships (this is not an exaggeration) circle around stations in an endless loop, all caught up in a slow moving pointless traffic jam. They aren't going anywhere, have no goals and just keep doing this loop forever. The other ~1% seem to spawn next to stations then despawn when they are leaving them, never actually travelling to/from anywhere." I dont know about you, but I am not very happy to hear this about a game that is supposed to feature a "fully simulated economy". In the end I dont think their frequent updating is going to matter because its not the bugs that make this game suck, its the game mechanics that were supposed to be in the game from the beginning that make this game suck. If i'm this disappointed and dont even have the game, then I cant imagine how they feel about all this at Egosoft. I hope the next game is better, if Egosoft lives to create that.  

A first step into modding Fallout New Vegas

I decided that I wanted to try modding a while ago, but it looked way to complicated so I gave up. I decided to come back to it after watching a number of youtube videos on the subject. Its not as hard as it looks, especially if you just want to edit existing models already in the game. You can have a lot of fun with just tweaking some stats in the GECK. Thats just what I did to start. You can see my mod here http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/54892/?.
