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.

Saints row 3 - what I think

Saints row: The third

My favorite sandbox game. This game is crazy it has a good story line as well as game play after game completion there is other stuff to do such as activity's, assassinations, and car jacking. I have spent 25 hours on this game so far I have only completed the story, capturing enemy territory, and completing all the activity's in the game. 


Story
The story of Saints row 3 is very different to the other two previous games in Saints row 3 you start of as the boss instead of starting from the beginning. The story begins by you and your team robbing a bank owned by the syndicate which you don't know about. They are a strong gang that control Steelport which you later play on through the game. I wont carry on with telling you about whats going to happen because I don't want to spoil it for those that want to get the game. It took me about 10 hours to complete the game and I completed it in one sitting with only two breaks the reason for this is because I kept wanting to do the next missions because the game is clearly just awesome and you will never guess what fun things will happen on the next mission.


Aircraft's and vehicles etc
In saints row 3 there is a large variety of vehicles like cars, boats, planes, and helicopters there is also two interesting vehicles in the game which is the VTOL and the hoverbike which is pretty interesting to use in the game the VTOL (Vertical take off and landing) is a jet that can hover and be flown like a plane, if you watched the trailer you can see the VTOL. And also the hoverbike which can also hover and fly like a plane/bike but you can only use the bike in the air so you cant use it for ground. The cars in this game has very different mechanics from the other previous saints row series the mechanics for the vehicles feel pretty useful and fun to use. The aircraft's feels the same as before. Like always in saints row you can customize your vehicle to your liking. You can now increase the armor of your vehicle so it barely takes any damage and makes any dents in the cars. There is also new helicopters once again a VTOL kind of helicopter that can hover and has a Gatling gun on it which proves useful, but then again the VTOL jet in my opinion is better, the other helicopters in the game doesn't feel that much different.


Weapons
The weapons for me is probably the most biggest improvement in the game since there is new special weapons which I will talk about later. The weapons that are in the game can now be upgraded to become better and more useful in combat. Nearly every weapon is up-gradable (Including the RPG). Now about the special weapons! There are new ones which is air strikes, predator drones, and an RC gun. The air strikes are pretty awesome since you can simply aim somewhere shoot and a rocket comes from the air splits into little rockets and spreads out around the area to kill a group of enemies. The predator drones are kind of the same thing but you can use it if your behind a wall taking fire or if there is a bunch of enemies around the corner, you use the predator drone from the birds eye view you can simply shoot it so it just goes to the area you want it to go or you can control the drone itself. And finally the RC gun you can shoot it at any car and you can do whatever you want with it without you being seen doing whatever crime you are doing, but with the RC gun there is a range where you cant  
take the car you are controlling far. Oh by the way all the special weapons require ammo.


Activities
The activities in saints row 3 are alike from saints row 2 so its kind of the same activities with some new ones I'm not exactly sure of the name of it but you have to drive around with a tiger next to you and you have to drive fast to reach max courage by reaching high speeds oh also there are vans trying to take you out which will make the tiger hurt you. There is also a new diversion which is jumping off a building or jet, helicopter, and landing on the target. Doing activities will give you respect and unique rewards you also need to do activities to capture territory. There is also a new activity where you have to find the required ho's and bring them back to the required location.


Initiation station
The initiation station in Saints row is just awesome there is a lot of options to pick from to make the character look like how you want it to be. So if you want to make it green go ahead if you want to make it look like a person in real life then I can say its pretty possible for it happening. 


Upgrades
A new feature added to saints row is the upgrade in the game you can upgrade stuff via the phone you get which will be required to do certain stuff such as checking missions and collecting your hourly cash from the stores that you own. There is also an upgrading section in the phone which will come into great use since you can upgrade your gang and your own health also to duel-wield weapons you will need to buy the upgrade which is pretty expensive but once again its going to be worth it. From the upgrade section on the phone you cant upgrade your weapons which will need to be done in the friendly fire shops through out Steelport. 


Also the executive Danny Bilson says that the team is already making Saints Row 4! And its going to be more wilder than saints row 3 which is hard to imagine if it will be since saints row 3 is clearly incredible. 

The binding of Isaac - what I think

The binding of Isaac

This game is fun in its own little way. Well it's fun overall with very gruesome graphics, such as a boss fight that involves 2 worms pooping and wobbling around everywhere. This game is made by the people that made Super Meat Boy. Here is a game trailer of this game

As you can see from the trailer, gruesome, weird, and a little like how the makers of super meat boy would make the game, this game has several missions and what you get to do is go into new rooms and kill monster's and you get a random drop each level of an item which can boost your hp, increase your range, or you can even get a bomb which has a short cool down (useful for bosses) every time you kill the boss of the maze, mission or whatever you want to call it you get sent to the next maze automatically 

Overall I personally wouldn't get the game but the only reason I got it is because of my good friend gave me a free code! The game is fun and all but its not my type of game. The game is fun and it has a very weird storyline. If you enjoyed Super Meat Boy I recommend getting this game. Oh by the way when you die you have to start the WHOLE game over again.

Minecraft, what I think

Minecraft, I can say I'm proud of spending my money on this game because I have spent so many time on this game. Also you can nearly anything you want in the game, like kill sheep's, build houses, towers, landmarks, inventions, this was a game I was actually looking for. Before I started playing minecraft my friends was begging me to play it, I just simply said that it looks boring and I would never play it... but I actually really liked it. Especially multiplayer where you can build whatever you want with your friends and survive the night from creepers.
The multiplayer as I mentioned is pretty good in minecraft. But you may have to forward your ports before inviting someone to a game. There is also servers (I mainly play on these) which is very good because there is the currency system that is a plugin in multiplayer, sometimes there is towns where you can buy your own area to build your house on which I have a lot of. If you like building awesome towers and houses with big pixels GET THE GAME. Also if you are bored with how everything looks you can change it! simply by installing a texture pack and putting it in a folder. It's not hard and it is actually worth doing. I usually prefer using the cartoony  
kind of texture pack while others prefer the realistic texture pack. 



here is a awesome picture of someone who built a laptop. these stuff are kinda difficult but the only cool thing I built was the Eiffel tower

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

PvP, or PvE in World of Warcraft

                                               PvP or PvE? World of Warcraft

Hello! Just to let everyone know I have been playing world of warcraft for 3 years and I have a game time roughly around 200 days on 2 characters. I play a Restoration druid with an off spec of Balance I use my Restoration spec as both a PvE healing spec since that is what it is mainly for and for PvP since I don't do much of it even though I love it. Before I started playing my druid I used to play a Death Knight since my raiding guild needed a tank and because of the WoTLK release I just was excited and decided to make one it was only for PvE sadly.


PvE what I think about is really different to a lot of other peoples idea because I think PvE is the same thing all over like a life cycle but with a Dungeon, Heroic, Raid Etc. I kind of lost my interest in  raiding over time well I lost it when Firelands patch was out every time I was raiding with my guild I was just getting bored and tired I felt like I wanted to sleep early and I wanted to quit the guild and when I did I still felt the same. As a resto druid I find WoW easy especially in PvE I come top of the healing meter etc and I'm not trying to show off because its true. But sometimes I felt that raiding was missing that little something that we don't have much of these days TEAMWORK. Teamwork is probably more rare than the rarest thing in WoW which I forgot. Teamwork is important when ever I raided it's usually "lol dude ur dps is low" or "ur healing sucks dude" saying these kind of stuff isn't cool. As a hardcore gamer I expect people that want to raid and if someone does something wrong I want them to tell the person "Do the job right or I'm removing you from the raid after a few goes" PvE in world of warcraft for me is not the best thing in the world I would still do it but I prefer having a team full of talkative people that enjoys talking about stuff in game and not stuff outside of the game and stuff they thing is funny when its not. 


A huge problem for me in PvE is finding a guild. When my last guild I was in disbanded I told my friends if I don't find a guild in this days then I'm leaving the game. Which was a good idea since it was so addictive and team eating. More to the point I only applied for guilds that is so dedicated in their raiding unfortunately lets just say they was jealous of my skills and decided not to take me in... Well they actually said sorry but you know nothing about your class and your gear is crap. If they know the meaning of skill they would of invited me to a trial and actually decided to take me in as a recruit because i was topping in healing. No not the over healing.


A big problem in my mind for new raiders is "Noobs" yes noobs what will they do? Because when I was a noob and started to raid I was told to get PvP gear and from then on I messed up real bad until a wonderful guild took me along and helped me out until I left them then joined a even more friendlier and social guild which I really enjoyed but sadly they disbanded not long ago. 


All I can really say about PvP is "EPIC" it's just awesome you can own and own even more It's not exactly a cycle it's simply just use your brain and think of a tactic to counter the enemies base attacks or in arena to LoS the enemy and "pwn the nubs" PvP is pretty fun this actually requires TEAMWORK well sorry but if you don't like teamwork then it's not for you since PvP requires a lot of teamwork. If you ever watched the PvP games which was hosted this year in Poland, Warsaw, then you can see a lot of teamwork in the world of warcraft section of the stream Instead of just sitting there and staring into their monitor and spamming 1 they scream at each other and telling them what the opponents might be planning on doing. This is the kind of action I love in world of warcraft.


Well here's my conclusion PvE can be fun in some ways and bad in some ways what I like in raiding is socializing and dominating other guilds into becoming a top guild. In other words talking a lot and having OP armor. But then there's the bad things about PvE raiding such as the cycle I feel in the raiding and the no teamwork in the raiding. 


And for the PvP in WoW. Well it's good since it has stuff like: Rated Bg's, Normal Bg's, 2/3/5'vs and also the intensity of the action if you ever played 5v5's with crazy people that likes talking a lot well don't think your not going to get a headache in 5 minutes. The teamwork is needed for PvP and if you succeed then it's from teamwork since we need each other in PvP here is an example, Warrior has 5k hp Resto druid heals him back to max health to own 10 other people. 


If I ever start WoW again it would most likely be PvP. Since Rated battlegrounds sound like fun and being so overpowered that you feel like you can take on anyone you want in Durotar or you can simply just walk into stormwind and just kill everyone that tries to kill you but can't. It's just one of those feelings you get after you buy the full PvP tier and a new PvP weapon in one go. Incredible. 


Oh, one more thing. For the horde!

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.
