Red Dead Redemption

A Review on a Break-Through in Gaming

 

I only recently got this game, and very quickly realised why I should have got it years ago. Red Dead Redemption came out for PS3 and Xbox on the 18th of May 2010 a an open world Western Action Video game, developed by Rockstar, the famous creators of the Grand Theft Auto Franchise. The Game instantly became universally critically acclaimed, worshiped by gamers, and averaged a 94% on reviewing websites such as MetaCritic.

 

In many ways, the game is very similar to Grand Theft Auto 4. It's 3rd person, a reacreation of America to suit the story's needs, and uses the same kind of storyline techniques. I fell deeply in love with this game as soon as I started playing it, and couldn't believe the raw beauty of the map that Rockstar created. It is everything you would visualize in a Western setting, including famous areas like The Great Plains. It definitely makes a change from the slightly dull map of Grand Theft Auto 4, and offers a lot of different spare-time activities to complete while you are waiting for your next mission. It is so much fun, and never allows you to get bored. The weapons are also very intriguing, showing you the kind of guns Westerners used to hunt bounties and survive with, like the Scofield Revolver or Winchester Repeater, and it is even better to be able to use them yourself! And instead of stealing cars and parking them outside your Apartment, you steal horses and Hitch them to make them your own. Trust me when I say that riding a horse while in a gunfight on this games is one of the most satisfying things you will experience in gaming.

The Storyline:

Most of Red Dead Redemption takes place around 1911 in Old Western America that was still socially forming, but also includes Northern Mexico in the same state. You play as John Marston, a man whose beloved family (wife and teenage son) have been captured and held to ransom by the government in exchange for John's services as a bounty hunter. He is tasked to hunt and kill 3 members of a gang of revolutionaries that he used to be a part of. Not only does this create moral questions for John to oppose, it means he has no choice. He must ride far into America to find them, which is not always easy. With the help of hilarious, memorable, and sometimes touching characters such as Bonnie McFarlane, Nigel West Dickens, and Irish, John must track down the three members of the previous gang before it is too late... The single player of this game involves some interesting and awesome cut-scenes, intriguing dialogue, amazing settings like wide open desert or small towns, and twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The game's story is memorable and amazing experience that you will definitely reflect upon with fondness.

 

The Graphics:

You probably will already have picked up that the graphics of this game are good. Like, really freakin' good. But words cannot describe the atmosphere or the settings created by these visual effects. It's stunning. Even really tricky details such as shadows or the plant life are perfect. Another thing to notice is the weather. The weather changes all the time, seemingly very naturally. You can go from scorching hot weather and bright sunlight to storms and rain at random, which I think is a very clever feature. As you can see in the picture above, the sky and time of day are always portrayed with complete realism. Seriously, the graphics are brilliant.

The Multiplayer:

The multiplayer of this game is a difficult subject. It is a very good concept. The player will usually enter what is called a "Free Roam" Session, which is where a certain number of people will be put into the same session. They can then try to take down forts together or battle the Law Enforcement together, and try to level up while doing so, which is always good fun. And you can also select other game modes to enter freely online. However, these sessions seem to take a very long time to load. Also, inviting a friend to your game session or making a "posse" with them is extremely difficult and complicated, and so far, my friend any I have only played about 1 full game mode together without lagging out in the middle of it. The multiplayer of this game is very frustrating and seems to be over-complicated, but it is great fun when it works. The Multiplayer reminds me of the Multiplayer in Grand Theft Auto 4, but more complicated.

Extra Stuff To Do:



There are a lot of things to do in this game that will keep you from ever getting bored. The most basic thing would probably be finding a new horse, which you can do by going out into the desert to find some horses, lassoing them and breaking them by balancing on them for long enough. Then just hitch it somewhere, and it's yours! This is always good fun, and means you can buy stuff for your horse to make it more your own. When it gets dark and you cannot complete missions for anyone, the best thing to do is a night-watch. This is where you follow a dog around a village, until it detects any crimes. Then all you have to do is subdue the criminal(s) by any means necessary. You may decide to shoot them or lasso and tie them up. You usually do this about 3 times, then you collect your cash reward, which can be around $100. Other great things to do are hunting bounties, which you obtain by taking "wanted" posters and finding the bounty. You usually have to take out their gang first, then you can kill them, or earn more money by tying them up and bringing them back to the sheriff alive. You can also hunt animals out in the Plains of America. You can then skin the animals and sell what you get from them at shops to make money. Many achievements can be obtained through hunting skills. Possibly the most awesome thing you can do is duels. If you are in new town, people may approach you and challenge you. You then use slow-motion to win the duel. It's great!

Overall:
Red Dead Redemption is an astounding Open-World Game with lots to do and see, and a great story to propel you through the beautiful map. It is definitely worth a buy, as the game gives you a memorable experience that cannot be beaten. The only negatives I can think of are the complextity of the Multiplayer lobbies. I honestly cannot decide between this game and Grand Theft Auto 4, but something tells me that I prefer Red Dead redemption.

Say Hello to Zombie Max!





Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare

An AWESOME Add-On To An AWESOME Game!

 

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare was released as a DLC for the Original on October 26th, shortly after the amazing open-world game - Red Dead Redemption - came out, but it was then developed into a stand alone game due to it's succession. Having played and completed Red Dead Redemption, my expectations were high for this game. Unsurprisingly, this game smashed my expectations and raised the bar for western and zombie games.

The Storyline:

The storyline for this game is very simple but has a lot of creativity. You play as an expert Gunslinger named John Marston, in the old West, whose family have been infected by a virus that seemingly developed over night. Having noticed that your family has been infected by some sort of disease, you ride around Old Western America and Northern Mexico in search of a cure. You meet various people whilst in search for a cure and complete missions for these people which bring you closer to what you're after. The storyline contains a lot of humorous cut-scenes, surprising twists and some kick-ass action. However, the only thing I was disappointed with was that the storyline was very short compared to Red Dead Redemption, but then again, it was originally just a DLC. In conclusion, the storyline was incredible but lacked question answering, and was too short for my liking. By the way, the ending will shock you! (This is not a spoiler).

Multiplayer:

The multiplayer in this game is the same as the online multiplayer in Red Dead Redemption, but adds a few new modes such as "Undead Overrun" where you have to defend yourself from the never ending hordes of zombies. The multiplayer on this game takes a longer time to load than most games, but the gameplay is then smooth and virtually lag-free.



The Graphics:

In all honesty, the graphics on this game are fantastic and reminded me of Grand Theft Auto 4's graphics. The developers put a lot of work into the graphics, as you can actually see every detail of the gigantic map such as the grass swaying in motion of the wind or the smoke puff as you shoot your gun. The details and graphics of this game are very realistic and very accurate. The developers remade America and Mexico to synchronize with the storyline and they absolutely did that. Even with this amount of pixels, the game runs smoothly and is lag-free, even in Multiplayer. The effort and the quality put into the graphics of the game is why the game industry is still up and running.

Extra Stuff You Can Do:
The game offers a lot of awesome stuff in this huge world when you're not hunting hordes of zombie animals. For example, there are the famous Four Horses Of The Apocalypse, which each have their own superpowers, that the player can try to find throughout the game. You could try to kill the fierce Chupacraba or find the elusive Sassquatch. Yes, it's pretty freaking awesome. In this game, there will always be something to do. And what's even better, is that you can do it with an arsenal of new and classic weapons. All these things give you amazing gameplay you'll never forget.

Overall:
This game could possibly be one of the best games I've ever played, and I'm normally not into the open world genre, but this game changed my mind completely. It is a ix of wild Old Western America with thrilling zombie killing and topped off by a great storyline. This game is a compliment to the "Rockstar Games" company. For these great qualities, I am giving this game 4 stars out of 5 because it smashed my expectations.

"It's wanting that gets so many folks in trouble... as long as there is money and guns, there will never be freedom." - John Marston, Undead Nightmare gameplay.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted

Need for Speed: Most Wanted was my first time buying a game from the Need for Speed franchise, so I had fairly high expectations, as I'd never heard any horror stories about their games. Fortunately, I'm perfectly sure that state will remain as I am a huge fan of this game.

 

Storyline:

The storyline to this game is fairly straight forward. You have to one by one defeat each of the most wanted cars in a race, getting harder and harder as you go along. To be able to compete against each car, you must earn enough points to challenge them, which you earn by winning more and more races. Each car has their own category of races, to make the game more fair. You can customise your car as you go along, to make it harder, sharper and tighter when driving.

 

The Graphics:

The graphics in this game were a huge selling point for EA, as they're extremely good. As a car enthusiast myself, I was amazed by how beautiful the cars look, and the attention to detail given to them. Obviously they're not perfect, sometimes the damage can be very repetitive, and seem like there has been some corners cut by the developers, but 99.99% of the time, you don't really notice. Besides, you'll be too busy enjoying yourself. The scenery too is really nice. I LOVE the map they've created, and the changes of weather are always joyous to play in, regardless of what they are.

 

The car control:

Many people may not appreciate the importance of this, but it is vital in games dedicated to cars and driving. People who like car games, but aren't real-life car fans tend to choose cars that just seem quite good when they drive, but not realise that in the real world, that car is nothing like it. As a car fan, it is vital that cars feel in the virtual world, how they do in real life. Fortunately, this game is fairly good at this. My favourite car is always going to be the McLaren, which is one of the final cars to get, but the most fun car to drive. Even if you don't do much to make it faster, as standard, it is brilliant. In the real world, it is light, nimble and extremely quick on its feet. Fortunately, the car in Need for Speed: Most Wanted is just the same. Some cars don't feel like this though. I can't help myself be brought back the Aston Martin Vantage, which feels extremely heavy in the game, and not very realistic. Some other cars are the same, but fortunately, the list isn't very long. There are a lot of cars you can buy through DLC, which I admittedly haven't tried out, but considering how good all the standard cars have been, I'm not worried at all.

 

Overall:

This game is fantastic fun, and very competitive. It is very realistic, and puts you in a brilliantly detailed and beautiful map. There is hardly anything I'd change about this game, which is why it is my favourite racing game to date. 8.5/10

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Zombies Review

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Zombies Review

 

 

Black Ops 2 Zombies. A very interesting topic. I must start by explaining that there are things I absolutely love about Black Ops 2 Zombies, but there are things that everybody seems to hate. Zombies has come a long way since the debut of Nacht der Untoten in World at War, and become more and more popular as it continued. Personally, I originally planned to get Black Ops 2 simply because of the Zombies, as I was extremely impressed by Black Ops 1 zombies, I thought that Black Ops 2 zombies would be even better. Whether it is or not is debatable.

As far as I am aware, Black Ops 2 zombies leads directly onwards from the Black Ops 1 Moon Easter egg, which was where two missiles were directed towards Earth to destroy it from the Moon map, which was included in the final map pack. This is why all of the non-DLC maps in Black Ops 2 consist of lots of Lava and fire on the ground. I'm sorry to say that I found this to be the first negative point for Zombies. I think that the creators of the new batch of Zombies maps were trying to give the players a different feel to the setting - to create a more apocalyptic atmosphere. I actually found the atmosphere quite effective, what I find most unsatisfying is the cracks of lave on the ground of the maps. When walked on, the cracks set you on fire and injure you, and even set the zombies on fire, so that when you kill them they usually explode and damage you further! This is extremely irritating and has been the cause of death many times during the game. However, this definitely should not put you off it, because once you move past the initial irritation of it, you get used to it and can become a fun challenge during gameplay. They have also reintroduced some beloved Black Ops 1 guns such as the Galil and the raygun, which are all time favoutires, as well as adding some new guns like my two new favourites, the RPD and the HAMR, although sadly the RPD is not available in the rest of the game. However, I would have loved to see some more of the old guns like the AK47 or the Famas. Maybe these will be in a map pack at some point? Developers have also added different game modes such as Turned, which was included in a DLC, and allows a player to become a zombie! Very cool, but for those who prefer original zombies, there are original modes.

 

Tranzit/Bus Depot:

Tranzit is basically a new game mode created in Black Ops 2 that actually allows you to travel through all three of the maps in the game, plus a few extra ones specifically for Tranzit. You start in the Bus Depot map, which is a small but effective map to play on it's own, probably meant for solo play. You begin in the building and discover a new addition to zombies gameplay: parts. There are hidden parts to collect throughout all of Tranzit, and can be built at particular table. For example, in the Bus Depot, you find parts to build a turbine which, when activated, can be used to open doors. There are also parts that can be added to other things, like the bus you get on to travel to other maps. If you find the parts for it, you can open the hatch to the roof or add a ladder to get to the roof. I think that this is a very clever addition to the gameplay, which can give the player other focuses than just killing zombies. Very clever. Between the maps, they have also added a new kind of creature to fight, which spawns out of the ground behind you and clings to your head while tearing at your face. You must knife the creature to be rid of it, which again I think is an interesting feature. Overall, Tranzit is a very compelling game mode which is the best when playing with friends, and Bus Depot is a fun little map to practise your skills on.

 

 

Town:
Town, at this time, is my favourite map. I see it as the main map of the game, as it seems to be the centre stop in Tranzit. It is the largest single map of the three, and contains a good amount of perks, which include Jugganog, Speed Cola, Double Tap, Quick Revive, Stamin-Up, and Tombstone, which are very useful. I love the layout of the map, and the whereabouts of the Random Box, and I also love the structure of the building, because there is always a gap that allows you to jump back into the town, so this provides a good spot to sit and shoot. The very worst bit about the map - as with all of them - is the extreme amounts of lava in the ground. Town probably contains the most, with huge puddles of it in certain places, with the Pack-A-Punch right in the middle of one (Thanks Treyarch!).
However, lava aside, Town is a very effective and addictive map that engages the player and is great fun with a friend or two. Ibrahim and myself have just completed a gameplay video of this map (whith more soon to come) which will be on the website shortly. Or just go to TheTechnoiders on youtube.

Farm:




 



Farm is a very interesting map that you will definitely need help with by friends. It is a very small map, although bigger than Bus Depot, in which you can go into a house to get a random box or buy Jugganog or use the fridge, which is another feature added by the developers that allows you to store guns in the fridge so that you may use them in another game. This is similar to the bank in Town on Tranzit, where you can deposit money to use in another game. I think that this is a very clever idea that can really help players who are trying to reach the higher levels. In Farm, you can also go into a barn to buy another perk, or just to fight off zombies at the barriers. Disappointingly, Farm also has lava, but not nearly as much as town, which is quite helpful. Because it is a small map, the player must be very skilled at manoeuvring through rooms and hordes of zombies and be very quick to escape some spots, which I think makes Farm one of the biggest challenges of the game. Some may like this, some may not.

Overall:
I think that it is clear that the developers of Zombies have put a lot of effort into the new batch, and that the game has very well designed and challenging maps with clever new features like parts or the bank. I think that Black Ops 2 Zombies is definitely for parties of players that want to have good fun and challenge themselves in the different maps. However, I personally think that at this time, Black Ops 1 zombies is still the best (mostly because of the amazing maps) and that Black Ops 2 zombies is slightly ruined by the excessive amounts of irritating lava that can affect your score. However, the Upcoming DLC maps could change everybody's views...

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Review

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

Assassin's Creed 2 was released for PS3 and Xbox on November 16, 2010, as a direct sequel to Assassin's Creed 2. Anyone who played Assassin's Creed 2 new that to improve their game-play experience, Ubisoft and Assassin's Creed developers would have to create an absolutely astounding game. So, as always, they succeeded with flying colours. From the moment it was released, this game became ridiculously popular, and has been nominated for 7 British Academy Video Games Awards, including Best Game.

This game is, without a doubt, one of my favourite games of all time. It places you in the beautiful world, full of historical culture and compelling characters that clasp you into the heart of the story. I was actually very surprised at how much I loved the game, because I thought that no game would ever be able to match Assassin's Creed 2, but this game just goes above and beyond. The player just can't get enough of the setting, the story, and the strategy. 

The Story Line

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood's Story Line, like Assassin's Creed 2's, is a very complex series of exciting events that twist and turn and drive the player on. Desmond Miles is still controlling our beloved Ezio Auditore de Firenze from our time period, but this time, he is on a mission to find the Apple of Eden. The Apple is a sacred artifact that is believed to be able to prevent an impending disaster that the dreaded Templars will cause. The story takes place in 1499, and is mainly set in the game's stunning recreation of Rome, a setting that makes the player feel like they're being taught the best cultural lesson ever! But the Templar's obtain the Apple and plan to use it to reek terror. Ezio must assemble a powerful Brotherhood of Assassins that can seek vengeance upon the Borgias and take down the Templars before it's too late... I love the intricate storyline of this game, and how the main character's personality develops within the player as the story unravels. If you have the determination to engage yourself in the story, you will not be able to escape from it's thrilling grasp.

The Graphics

Let me just start by saying that Assassin's Creed Brotherhood's graphics are gorgeous. When Assassin's Creed 2 was released, everyone thought the graphics of that game were a revolution, but in this game that have been improved even further (and I thought it would be impossible)! The entire setting and all of the surroundings of the game are spotless and sharp, even with difficult technical details like shadow or movement - everything looks and flows like a dream. 

The Multiplayer

This game was the first in the Assassin's Creed series to feature and online multiplayer, which is actually pretty impressive. Although they haven't quite achieved perfection, for example I usually find it fairly slow to load up, once you're in the online lobbies, your able to experience some pretty fun game modes that involve working with others to find the informer, or teaming up with your friends to assassinate a target, which is usually really good fun. Of course, the multiplayer of any Assassin's Creed game is ever going to look like anything next to the amazing campaign, but it is definitely a very good feature.

Overall

 This is absolutely one of my favourite games of all time, and I doubt that I will ever get bored of it. I think every aspect of the story and graphics are perfect, and that the multiplayer just needs to be improved slightly. I would recommend this game to anyone who wants an exciting adventure, pulse racing action sequences, a gripping storyline, or just wants to see some beautiful scenery.

" Chains will not hold me! I will not die by the hand of man!" - Quote from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood gameplay.

Assassin's Creed 2 Review

Assassin's Creed 2

 

Assassins's Creed 2 was released for PS3 and Xbox in November 17 2009. It almost instantly became critically acclaimed, and both the Official Xbox Magazine and the Official Playstation Magazine UK rated the game 9/10. It is also available as a "Game of the Year" edition.

I have owned this game for quite some time, and have never stopped loving it. It is a beautifully crafted, strategic game that presents characters and settings perfectly. You even get to meet Leonardo Da Vinci! It is a very similar game to Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, which will also be reviewed on the website soon. In my opinion it is impossible to choose between the two. The game makes you feel like a part of it's world, and once you've started playing it, you will not be able to stop.

The Story line:

Assassin's Creed 2's story line is a very intricate, deeply thought-out piece of art that requires a reasonable amount of attention, which obviously may displease some gamers. However, if you really get yourself involved in the events in the game, you will find yourself devoured by the game's plot, unable to tear yourself away from trying to move forward in it. It is set in the beautifully redesigned Italy, a magnificent place that gamers will grow to love as the game progresses. The story follows directly on from Assassin's Creed, with the same split focus involving Desmond Miles (who lives in the present) and his Assassin ancestor (who lives in the past created by the animus). This game introduces the awesome and bloodthirsty new character, Ezio Auditore da Firenze. It's hard not to give away any of the plot, but what can be said is that a crime is made against Ezio's family that changes his life, and makes him hungry for revenge... He must learn to control his anger and aid his friends, and finally, learn the ways of the Assassin!

The Graphics:

This game's graphics changed the way people looked upon the Assassin's Creed franchised. They developed and improved hugely upon the graphics of the original game in the series (which were already pretty amazing) and created there own, stunning version of Italy, which must have made an enormous increase to the tourism in that country! Seriously, though, the graphics of the game's settings are phenomenal. And even with all those pixels, I have never experienced any lag! It keeps up perfectly with the action sequences and movements you make in the game. The graphics are a complement to the Game industry.

 

Overall:

This game is possibly the best game in my collection, and I would not hesitate to think that it could be my favorite game of all time. Every aspect of the campaign is impeccable, and very quickly you begin to really connect with the main character. Also, it's the best history lesson I've ever had!

"I did not choose this path. It was chosen for me. At first, I thought vengeance would be easy. For thirty years I've lived in the shadows, visited death upon those who deserved it, and vanished like the wind. I don't know who started this conspiracy, but I know who will end it. My name is Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Like my father before me, I am an Assassin."

―Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Assassin's Creed II Launch Trailer.

The Last Of Us

My review on possibly one of the greatest games of all time

The Last Of Us was released on the 14th June 2013 as an exclusive game for the PS3. Upon arrival, critics went mental for the game, dubbing it as one of the greatest games of all time. IGN themselves rated the game as 10/10-a masterpiece. After I got the game myself, I immediately made a report for it; and this is what I think.

 

I was fortunate enough to be able to get this game, as it is available only on PS3, which I have, and the moment it entered my console, I fell in love. The game puts you in the socks of a young girl called Sarah, who (during a cut-scene) after giving a present to her dad is sent to bed. She later is woken up by a phone ringing next to her, which has a rather distressed Uncle Tommy on the other side of, who urgently requests her father Joel, but is then cut off. From now on, you begin playing the game yourself.

I don't think it'd be wise I tell you everything that happens from then on, as it's a bit too wild to explain. I can dumb it down for you, however, and reveal that later on you change into Joel himself and fast forward 20 years, after a tragic incident. If you are interested in seeing a walkthrough of the game, then check out www.youtube.com/thetechnoiders where you will find a walkthrough of the game.

 

The storyline:

One of the best things that developers can do to the campaign/storyline is make it feel like a film. This feels much more realistic, and you are way more involved. Though a fair amount of the game is cut-scene, it doesn't feel at all as a problem. In fact, it makes the game feel so much better, as they help explain what's happening around you better, at that present time. In general, the storyline is gripping, realistic, has edge-of-seat moments and is very engaging.

 

The graphics:

The graphics in the game is one of its defining features, they're absolutely brilliant. They've done a fantastic job also in making the shadows perfectly realistic too, which are quite static in many games. The only concern to the graphics is down to the AI (artificial intelligence), which has the enemy blatantly see your partner, but ignore them. However, this problem is also quite a big relief to the gamer, as the amount of times you'd be caught would totally frustrate and annoy them. So overall, it's a very good job.

 

The multiplayer:

Though multiplayer isn't recognised much to people, I is one of their best features. I have spent numerous hours on multiplayer, due to how amazing and fun it is! It's biggest advantage is the fact that it never glitches, has connection problems or generally faults. The maps are very well laid out, and each are designed for a specific type of gun load-out, which you do notice, and can easily respond to. I really do enjoy multiplayer, with all its features.

 

Overall:

When I first read the reviews and the feedback people give about this game, I was very surprised, and couldn't wait to play the game, to see if they were true. Now after playing the game, I have no doubts that they are true, and that this game is one of the best games available on PS3! I think however, if it comes to PS4, with the new processors for better graphics, this game can look even more stunning! This game to me is 10/10!

Uprising DLC: Call Of Duty Black Ops 2

Overview of Uprising DLC

Encore:

The map Encore is set in an outdoor stage. It's a medium sized map which is brilliant for all types of guns. It has small passages that lead under the stage itself, has clever openings which are perfect for snipers and LMG's and pathways along the outskirts which are best used for Assault Rifles or SMG's. I definitely like this map, as all guns work in it, depending on where you are. You must have a clever strategy for this map because dominating the outskirts with an SMG is my favourite, but sneaking through small passages with pistols and shotguns work too. There are key around the map which you can sit in with a Sniper, but be warned. Once you take one shot from your area, you are completely exposed, as your spot can be picked out from all areas. The windows are large and can be seen from anywhere, so you shouldn't stay there too long. My advice would be to simply keep moving, or try to dominate a specific section. If you take shots from a sniper-spot or window, after you get the kill, don't hang around, just go. Overall, I think this is a very diverse map which entices every type of player.

 

Magma:

Magma is another great map, which possible suits shotguns and SMG's best. The map isn't as big as you think, and if you're careful, access from one side to the other can be quite simple. In Magma, you need to watch your back. Due to the almost unlimited access, it'd be advised that around corners or doors, throw a non-lethal grenade, then check your back. This will stop you from being sneak attacked from behind, slow down enemies in front of you, and reveal them if they're around the corner, due to the hit-mark that comes up. Unlike Encore, it's quite safe to go through the middle, and holding one small spot isn't too difficult, if you've planned ahead. It's difficult to choose whether the outskirts or the centre is the best route. You need to understand the flow of your match. Sometimes, players simultaneously realise the centre is packed, so all resort to the outskirts, and vice-verse. I find it best for you to alternate. I tend to run along the outskirts for the whole length of my lifer. Once I get killed, I then go for the middle instead, and once that gets me killed, I'm back to the outskirts etc. This may sound pretty silly and unnecessary, but it's down to the flow of the game. It's more common that you try and break away from the flow of the game as quickly as possible. It's common that the outskirts are the safest option, so Assault Rifles and SMG's are preferred.

 

Vertigo:

Vertigo is a fantastic map. Located in India, in a location familiar to those who've completed the Campaign. I love this map. It's good for all guns except the sniper, unless you're very skilled with it. As it's simple to move from the outskirts to the centre and back etc., it's best that for this map, you try and stay with a pack, but preferably at the back or centre. It's quite difficult to get behind the enemy line in this map, but it depends on your weapon of choice. I think Shotguns and Assault rifles re best, but some places are good for LMG and Snipers, but only for short periods of the map, as the spots you pick are easily discovered, and don't provide the best cover. This map doesn't tend to settle often, so best you keep on your toes.

 

Studio:

IT'S BACK! For those of you who had Black Ops 1, you'll notice Studio is a revamped version of Firing Range. It has the exact same layout, but simple is wearing a new outfit. This is definitely the most versatile and diverse map in-terms of what gun you can use. It is preferred that you take the higher ground, as you have a lot of cover, but be warned, it's very easy to sneak behind people. It's best that after you kill someone in front, you turn around and see if anyone's coming towards you, as it happens a lot. I think that overall, the best type of gun would be an Assault Rifle, as it is useful in all situations. I personally, prefer an SMG, which has FMJ *Full Metal Jacket) and Suppresser. As it's a very active and guns-blazing style map, it's crucial that you keep yourself hidden. The radar is constantly being scouted by everyone, in case a red dot appears on it (someone is shooting). People will instantly send their attention to where it is, so keeping that hidden will save you many lives, and kill many others. Regardless of your style, I can guarantee that you'll love this map. 

 

Mob of the Dead Zombies:

Wow! Mob of the Dead is set in Alcatraz Prison where you are attempting to escape. The map is a maze, very confusing and always gripping. I advise strongly that you stay with a partner at all times in this map because once you split up, it takes a long time to reunite. The map itself is gorgeous, I love the texture and attention to detail in this map. Plus the new guns such as the Tommy Gun, the return of the Uzi, the Black Ops 1 Ak-47( in my opinion the best one), the Blundergat, Death Machine, introduction of the LSAT LMG to zombies etc. It takes sometime, but once you get into round 10, you'll have learnt the map as you're so into it. All I can say is stay with someone, rack up poits in case of emergencies, don't get carried away and...GOOD LUCK! A gameplay youtube video of this will be on the blog above.

Overall:

Overall I think that Uprising is one of the best DLC's we've ever had to Call Of Duty. It's a fan friendly map pack, all maps are beautiful, well laid out, all gripping etc. I don't have any problems with any of the maps that are worth mentioning. It costs around the same as the others when they came, and it's definitely a good buy.

FIFA 13

FIFA 13 REVIEW

 

FIFA 13 was released last year, and had millions of people lining up outside the doors, for their chance to get their hands on this game. However, is it really worth all the love it's getting? Is it really as good as we say? Well, being a person who plays this regularly, I think I'm the man to explain.

The game itself features a whole variety of features which have been reheated from FIFA 12. The Ultimate Team sensation is the main one. People have gone mad for Ultimate Team on FIFA 13, and I don't blame them. It truly is a fantastic game mode, which is full of excitement, tension and is a whole lot of fun! To be honest, it is only going to be extremely fun for somebody who is amazing, and strategic on FIFA, no casual amateur can make it to the top of the food chain in Ultimate Team. However, that's not at all a problem that involves the game, but the problem with it is the same as it has been for all the other FIFA's...

 

The servers simply aren't good enough. I don't think anybody who plays this game will disagree, they just are shocking. Ok yes, they're a bit better than the FIFA's of old, but you've got to pay attention extremely hard for you to notice. I'd like to say; 'FINALLY! FIFA'S NEMESIS HAS BEEN CLEARED INTO ROW Z...but no. I'm not impressed by it.

Fortunately, there still is a lot to be impressed about. If you're thinking right now that without the smooth online gameplay FIFA is ruined, then you have a point, but 90% of me disagrees. There's still so much to do. Career Mode is amazing! It's a very far cry from the old style of FIFA Career mode. They've made it seem so much more realistic, so much more live, more involved! I've wasted hours of my life on Career Mode, and i'm fine with that, because it has won me over. I genuinely didn't expect it to be as lovely as it is. Although, if you dig a bit deeper into it, the foundations of the mode are still the same, so you don't really feel like you need to adjust at all.

The challenges are another feature that I really like. For example, you may be given a team that has 10 minutes left in the game, and is losing 1-0, and you need to win the game, or you are 4-0 down at half time, and you need to pull it back etc. It is another gripping game mode. Yes, it get's a bit frustrating, but like I said, it's down to our own personal qualities, not the game.

There are many more game modes you can play, there are dozens of challenges to try, and the people on the sideline are much more active! It's a whole different wold out there.

 

My final point about the game is the graphics. The graphics are still brilliant! There are small, yet very effective changes between FIFA 12, and FIFA 13, and I definitely prefer FIFA 13. However, what about against PES 2013? Now you may be thinking braces yourself...this should be interesting, but wait...The story is actually short and simple. PES goes down a much longer and more complicated route to make the graphics as good as possible, but they're just not as good. FIFA is more vibrant, more clear, and the players are much easier to work oout if you look at them. A handful of players look better on PES, but all the rest are much better on FIFA 13. However, this is just my opinion, i think it's fair to say that it's 50/50 for who's better.

So to sum up this review, FIFA 13 is another fantastic game, and it's definately worth the hype. However, the server does really let them down, and I don't see the next FIFA being any better . With that out the way though, this game is much better than any of the old FIFA's, and it's the game that's made me more into FIFA, as I used to spend most of my gaming time away from FIFA. Everything, except the connection has improved massively, and it's definitely a good buy.
