Duke Nukem Forever - What I think

Duke Nukem... Really... That game was probably the worst game I have ever bought and played it sucked real bad and I struggled to have fun and ended up just you tubing the last boss or mission or whatever. Even though this game is boring there are some good features in the game that I have enjoyed such as the Multiplayer. 

Duke Nukem Forever, the whole story well I haven't completed it but I have finished most of it the story in the game is pretty long which means more time it takes to complete the actual game. I took a lot of breaks from this game because of how boring I found the story. The reason I bought this game is because I was so intrigued in the determination of how the makers of this game has been working for it for years! But other games worked on their games for a few years and I think it turned out 10x better!

The multiplayer in the game is... Alright I enjoyed it but not for long... You can gain levels in multiplayer and unlock stuff for your home such as mini games which I found pretty interesting since I haven't seen this in other games. The way the whole thing works in Multiplayer is pretty funny... There are power ups you can use to kill your enemies which makes the whole thing unfair... really unfair since its so common to find.

Sorry for complaining a lot in this post I just don't like buying games that really do get boring and have my pockets emptied I have played this game for 9 hours

Terraria - What I think



Am I the only one that has actually started playing the sandbox game minecraft because of this game Terraria? Terraria is a so called "2D" version of minecraft (mostly said by people that hasn't actually played terraria) I can disagree on that at some points... and agree as well... Here is Notch's quote of what he thinks of Terraria "Notch: Nope, we're not. It's an amazing looking game, and it doesn't contain any of our code or art. I'm looking forward to playing it"  Notch answered this to someone when they asked Notch if he would sue terraria, incredibly enough he actually approves this game, its a shame that a certain game company couldn't do the same with Mojang though. 



Terraria has both Single player and Multiplayer, you get to start the game by making your own character and sending him off in a random generated (which can be small, medium, or large)
world you start off by making gear that is for starters working your way up to the best possible gear simply by killing bosses and unlocking tools to destroy certain blocks for crafting.


This game can eat off a lot of time when playing I spent 70+ hours on this game without even knowing and really I can say its worth it! it only costs £7.99 but you can get a good price of £2.99 with the winter sale of steam! I recommend getting this great sandbox game


You can also have NPC's in rooms you build so they can help you in different ways such as selling you items and giving you advice on what to do or what you have to craft. There is many stuff you can do in this game you can dig down without falling into lava without even knowing its right under you! If you dig down you encounter a new world with new monsters that do a lot of damage and you can fight a large range of boss which requires you to build up your character to fight them. And at nights you can fight off hordes of zombies and flying eyeballs and if there is a blood moon then prepare for a lot more of zombies and flying eyeballs and at daytime if your lucky, or not so lucky you get a horde of orc's attacking your house/castle or whatever your home base is and if you are lucky you can loot the awesome rocket boots!


Building in this game is pretty awesome build whatever you want! Build a castle, build a house, build anything, but it has to be in 2D there is a large variety of blocks to chose from when it comes to building such as dirt, wood, and a lot more of blocks! If you want to watch some videos to get know more about terraria then watch Totalbiscuit's and Jesse Cox's episodes of terraria

GTA IV - what I think

GTA IV was my 2nd most favorite sandbox game since GTA: San Andreas in GTA IV you play a Russian man named Niko Belic new to america trying to pursue the american dream... but Niko wants to kill a man that has betrayed Niko's squad in the army.

GTA IV has a large range of vehicles like boats, ground vehicles, and different kind of helicopters no planes (which I wanted!) but the vehicles are fun to use and with mods you can add planes with the mechanics of a helicopter if you are really that desperate. There is also 2 other DLC's you can buy for the game which makes the story more interesting because they have something to do with Niko Belic's life in america.

Many of the missions are about killing people making money or doing favors for your friends to know more about the person you are looking for. The storyline of the game gets more interesting over time and you can face betrayal of your friends. If you get bored of the missions you can enjoy the vehicles in the game because of the mechanics in the game.

Star wars the old republic

Hello, I will be talking about the MMORPG Star wars the old republic which will be dominating the World of Warcraft subscribers over time, well that's what I think. I picked this game because I have bought it and I think it would be the next MMO in the gamer's eyes. There are two sides to star wars which is Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire, there are 8 unique classes you can pick in the game and 4 classes are split between the two factions. So both of the factions have totally different classes nothing is the same. The subscription rate is a fair amount it is about the same to world of warcraft.


There is also the Pre-order each pre-order will have 30 days game time on them here is a link to their website to pre-order this game. This game will be released on the 20th of December so get this game before its actual date to receive great bonuses (http://buy.swtor.com)




The quests in the game is great and you have a very long quest chain for your class which brings you to new planets for you to travel too. You also get companions when you slowly progress through the game allowing you to summon at least one to fight by your side or when they are idle you will be able to send them out on missions to increase your profession skills. You can have up to 6 companions. The quest's in SWTOR is very different to other MMO's because you are able too interact with the quest giver, answering the questions for the quest givers allow you too gain points such as light/dark side points and your affection with your companions which allow you too buy a large range of new items.

IGA - Best game award

Skyrim has won... A great game it has so much stuff that everyone has been talking about right now, and what makes this game even more interesting are the mods which opens up whole new features for the players that really just want to see new stuff.


I was thinking Gears of War 3,  Dead Island, or one of the greatest multiplayer that I have played this year Battlefield 3 but they all took an arrow to the knee by Machinima. But obviously the best game has to win Skyrim. I'm thinking maybe Elder scrolls will be winning again the Best game of the year award.
