What I think - League of Legends

This game is from the action-RTS genre inspired by DoTA an amazing game this game has been released on October 27 2009 so its been out for quite some time now. I have personally played this game since it became free to play since I really didn't want to play a game I didn't think I would find much interest in but playing this for a week or two changed my mind pretty quickly. 

Gameplay

There are 3 different ways of playing this game which is 3v3, 5v5, and Dominion not so much of big choices but each of them are really good I mainly prefer 5v5 after playing 3v3 just to learn the basics of the game. There are many champions to pick in-game there are over 90+ champions to pick from which makes the player have a big choice to pick what he wants to play.

The objective of the 3v3/5v5 is to kill your enemies base. Each team will be spawned on the opposite sides of the map and to get to the enemies base you must kill minions gain levels and destroy the enemies turrets which is placed in "lanes". Players gain levels and money by killing minions or enemy players which are known as champions. The image below shows what a 5v5 map looks like. The skulls on the map shows the NPC's which can be killed for money and exp. With money in the game you are able to buy items which makes your champion stronger and harder to kill this will make you more capable to kill off your enemies champions. The most important thing about the game is that you don't feed the enemy team which means that you don't die if you die then you will be giving the team money and that is the last thing you want.

 

You, the player

As the player in the game you will be known as the "Summoner" the summoner acts as the persistent element in League of Legends which is used to track statistics and scored for each player. 

Players will be able to gain experience points and "influence points" (in-game currency) by participating in each match they play. Players will level up when they get enough experience the max level is 30 and each time you level you will be able to gain points for masteries (talent tree) or runes which are used for increasing stats for each of your champions.

Masteries

Masteries are preks that affect each players gameplay structures in a talent tree. All of the masteries are passive effects since it will be affecting every champion that you own. you are able to re-spec or change the talent tree any time you want when you are outside of a match.

Runes

Similar to Masteries runes are passive and effect the game in minor ways. Runes are categorized into marks (offensive), seal (defensive), glyphs (magic), and quintessences (utility 

you will be able to buy runes from the store and to be able to use them you need to level up and gain spaces to put the runes into place.

Store

The store in the game allows the player to buy champions, runes and a lot more stuff just by gaining influence point which is gained for playing every match they play or players can buy whatever they want if they buy Riot Points which can be bought with real life money.

Competitive play

League of Legends is sometimes known for its competitiveness in the video game field. players usually participate in League of Legends competitions to win huge cash prizes but the requirements are quite demanding. 

What I think

The game is amazing! I have played this since it was free to play and I have had great fun ever since games usually last around 30-40 minutes or even longer depending on team play. The game makes the player rely on other team mates which makes it a big game that requires trust. Since I have played this game since it was free to play I have left the game quite a lot of times due to my anger towards the other players in the game not because they are annoying but because they play extremely badly now that I play with people I know in real life I actually find the game quite amusing since the majority of the time we win. I recommend you to play this game if you are into games like DoTA since the game is quite alike DoTA but has a few differences.

The elder scrolls: Skyrim

Elder scrolls: Skyrim

Only a few days left for skyrim to launch and there's one word I can use to explain how I feel about the game "EXCITED" It just looks awesome and the storyline of oblivion was very good. So I'm looking forward to skyrim. Here's a photo of a lake from a screenshot in-game



When skyrim is fully released I will be reviewing the game, in my way. So far the trailers and the videos of the game is very interesting such as fighting dragons and using both of your hands for spells or using both your hands for fighting or using 1 for fighting and 1 for spells. This can make a RPG gamer very happy. The graphics are awesome they made every little detail very good. You can also play the game in 3rd person if you want to see your awesome attacks. What I'm very excited about is the leveling. You can level your weapons or spells and whatever. The map? That is crazy a lot of screen tearing will be happening there, but it's still awesome you can see the wonderful clouds and the wonderful mountains. The horses in skyrim well... No comment. 


The dungeons in the game is awesome. Its very obvious that they worked at there best to make it as good as they can. The enemies in the dungeons look awesome, well everything looks awesome. I'll post a review a few days after release so I can get the feel of the game and what I like or dislike. 

Deadspace 2 - what I think

Deadspace 2... This game is wonderful and I cant say I didn't jump out of my chair from being scared... Deadspace 2 to me is a wonderful game the graphics is once again good and the gameplay is also good. You can upgrade your weapons and armor to increase less damage taken/more damage output or even increase your health what makes this game so good is not the storyline. I had big interest of the storyline pretty late in the game but the first few missions was good. The singleplayer for me took very long approx 10 hours of gaming. 


Deadspace 2 and its thrills
Well Deadspace 2 is scary at some points as in some monsters that are on the floor acting "dead" actually comes back's to life and strikes you I did get scared for the first 3 times before I had the mechanic in my head and I easily got past that fear just by simply shooting it since it will trigger it and it will come at you. There is certain parts in the game that makes you worried about whats around a corner, example: your in a room everything around you is frozen there is narrow walls and there is twists and corners you can take and sometimes stuff jump at you. But at the end you will get used to it and you wont be pooping your pants because of how scary it is.   
the way people make the game dramatic is weird because it isn't at some points. If you want to play a scary game then go play F.E.A.R that game is scary.


Deadspace 2 and its storyline
The storyline of deadspace 2 is very interesting I haven't played Deadpspace 1 but I kind of understood some of it. The storyline was great it was O.K in the beginning and start becoming better until it came to the end, the ending is perfect probably one of the best endings ever, not as bad as the ending in saints row 1. 


My opinion
This game is a great game when you finish the game you can move onto the multiplayer which has a leveling system which lets you have weapons every time you level up and all that stuff which makes the game worth buying if you like owning people and gaining something from it more than whatever you get from killing someone. I will definitely be getting Dead space 3 whenever it will be released. You can get this game on PC, Xbox, and PS3

Call of Duty Modern warfare 2

There has been many reviews about the Modern Warfare 2 but I'm going to talk about how I feel when I play it. I will be talking about the gameplay, graphics, the players, and game types

When I first played MW2 it was on my Xbox when I play my games I usually play the Single player   just to get a taste of the game play and what you can do before jumping straight to the multiplayer. The story-line in MW2 is pretty long it took me about 6 hours game time to complete (to me that is long since I complete games in a very short period of time) the story is fun and simply just by playing it you just want to know what will happen next so you wont be getting off your console/pc any time soon. 

The multiplayer is fun but there's one type of player that gets pretty annoying, well guess what kind of player it is. A noobtuber these are pretty common MW2 since it is very simple to get kills with a noob tuber but if you truly have skill then you can easily get a kill with your gun. When I played multiplayer it took me a lot of time to pick the perfect class I had to go through every gun to find my perfect weapon. The thing is when I recently tried to play a match of TDM (Team death match) the most common type of match that is played online it took me a pretty long time to get a group, approximately 2-3 minutes. 

Overall the game is good it's so far the best Modern Warfare I have played, well there's only 2 released and soon to be the MW3 which I hope hasn't got any ideas from Black Ops, since I dislike that CoD. If you enjoy having a large range of weaponry and if you like to play many kinds of matches against people, such as free for all, team deathmatch, or capture the flag, I recommend buying this game. The experience is even better if you have friends over your house to play or if you have friends online that also have the game you can play with. But there is some bad stuff about it such as the noob tubers, and the wait time for the game. 

Saints row 3

                          Saints Row: The Third




Hmmmm I'm not exactly sure what to say than "If you are not getting saints row 3 you must be out of your mind or you simply just have other things to do..." or just chill out and fill your mind with it like I'm probably going to do now. Well saints row 3 it's not exactly released yet but its meant to release on the 18th of November in the UK. There is a lot of things to do like mod your car and fly planes close to the sea. Or simply do missions. The story line of saints row is just so good it's clearly awesome I recommend getting Saints row 1,2 and if you enjoyed both then 3.

What I'm going to do is just tell you information about 1 and 2 without including number 3 I might add some information into it but if you don't want to know the information and just simply find out in the game then simply stop reading! In saints row you are meant to be a gang member. Well dude! how did this character become a gang member well basically you walk on the street as if you are carrying a lot of money and about to own some noobs. Then a gunfight happens in the middle of the street! Then a dude comes up to you and tries shooting you. Then the boss of "The saints" comes and saves you from being shot. Then invites you to be in the gang. and you do some missions etc. 

One thing I like about games is car modding, upgrading, all that kind of stuff it just sounds so fun and that's what I like most about saints row! It's a shame they didn't have that in GTA IV if they did then I would cry from so much fun. Another thing I like about Saints row 3 is the jobs... the most awesome job is the health insurance fraud... It's just funny laughing at your main character sliding from the hood of the car to the rough grip from the floor...

Speaking so much about saints row reminds me of the awesome features about saints row 3 and now I want it really badly I have to waste time until the day has come... Well I will probably do that by playing skyrim... But I have to complete it before Saints row 3 releases

PS3 vs Xbox vs PC

Xbox vs PS3? I'm sure you see it a lot since there is a lot of fan boys always saying stuff like Xbox is better than PS3 without even telling them the reasons. Well I have a PC an Xbox and a PS3 so when I hear people saying Xbox is better than PS3 I always have to jump in and ask them why and the answers I get is. Xbox is better because my friends have it. PS3 is better because it wont get red ring of death. Well they both fit there purpose TO LET YOU PLAY GAMES! And another thing I never hear in this kind of discussion nobody ever brings up PC which really makes me mad.

Since I'm open minded about a lot of stuff I think both Xbox and PS3 suck in some ways. Because I spend about 6 hours a day playing games on a weekday and over 12 hours on a weekend I would expect my console/PC to work properly without breaking. Xbox let me down by overheating and giving me the RROD (Red ring of death) PS3 does an good job with this. PC can work for hours without over heating unless you live in Turkey and play for around 6-12 hours. 

Another reason I think PC is better is because it's actually worth having since the games that gets released have there own graphics options you can actually put it to the max unless your on a tight budget if you are on a tight budget then stick to consoles but if you have a fair amount of money to spend then you might as well get a PC even though when you first get it you might spend a lot of money but then again you can replace parts instead of buying a new console when it gets released. PC is once again cheap on the games. £30 for a game? So god damn awesome its better paying £40 for a console game. But for consoles you can simply just sell it for another price when your done and dusted with the game this is one thing I want to do with PC games but it's to underrated and only very few of my friends have it

A problem that makes me mad sometimes is that some games aren't really released on the PC on the same day as console this can happen sometimes such as getting a game like GTA:IV a few months after it was released on console. Well at this point talking about games being released on console before PC well some games are actually restricted for other consoles here are some good examples. Gears of war, Gran turismo, and last but not least Resistance, these are some good games even though my most favorite action game that is restricted on another console is Gears of war and my favorite racing game that is restricted on another console is Gran turismo.

Storage. Hmmm storage you say? Yes storage. Storage for PC is awesome but sometimes you cant really trust it. Maybe someone steals your computer or maybe your house burns down ( I'm guessing you wont be thinking about your games at this time) maybe it happens all your games are gone. But for PC there is a way of getting your games on an account where you can simply just re download it to another computer and simply just launch it without another CD all you have to do is register the serial code then bang magic happens the game is locked onto your account. You can do this buy getting Steam or Onlive for your computer. But there is a problem. What if you get banned or hacked? and your account gets permanently banned? Well lets just say I'm not exactly sure and it is probably going to be gone forever. But for consoles you can simply just store the games somewhere. But remember what if something happens to them and you cant get it back.

I have probably had consoles about 6 years of my life and nothing was better until I had World of Warcraft and started to switch to PC gaming and from what I experienced from console gaming is that it is awesome and almost as good as the PC in some ways. But I will be sticking to PC until the game industry stops producing games for PC (Probably because of so much piracy) or if my computer just breaks on me and I cant somewhat repair it. 

The graphics on a game is extremely important to me if the pixels are the size of the blocks in the wonderful game of minecraft then I will most likely go mad and punch someone in the face. The most awesome graphics game I have ever played will probably be Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3 I can't wait for another Crysis to be released so I can experience the perfectness of the wonderful pixels. and battlefield 3 well I can't explain how awesome it is since its just a dream come true its something I thought would never happen when I was playing crash bandicoot on my PS2. 


This is my very first blog feel free to tell me some tips or ideas what to write about.
