Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Weapon Guides: Executioner 28 Gauge Buck-Shot Revolver

Hello everybody. We're going to be looking at the much maligned revolver of Black Ops 2. The Executioner. Profile The Executioner, other wise known as the Taurus Judge.  The Taurus Judge was a double-action revolver, originally introduced in Brazil in 2010. The Taurus Judge is a 5 shot double action revolver that was designed to fire the .45 Colt cartridge and .410 Bore Shot. The Taurus Judge only comes in two models, the 4410 model and the 44510.

Original vs Remake:Night of The Living Dead

Good afternoon everyone. Today I decided to try something new, and instead of reviewing a game, doing a weapon guide or posting about news in gaming, we're heading into film. Specifically, the zombie films. What has been the iconic threat to the living since 1968, zombie films have come and gone through the years, some that are forgotten by time and some that stick with us and are remembered even to this day. If you are a film buff such as myself there a few iconic zombie movies that come into mind, but the one zombie film that still sticks to me and is the first zombie movie that comes to mind is of course George A Romero's classic                                     Night of The Living Dead The zombie film that wrote all the rules to the zombie movies and inspired many other zombie moves to come. Night of The Living Dead is a classic horror film, ask any film buff that watches horror films religiously and you ask them what's the classic of classic

Microsoft's Negative PR:75% Of Gamers Disappointed With Xbox One Reveal and More

Hello everyone. Now if you watched the Xbox One reveal this Tuesday, you know that Microsoft's reveal of the Xbox One turned out to be the worst reveal in gaming history that many people on the internet are shouting was the worst console reveal in the history of gaming. Now for those of you who are unaware of the conference let me sum it up to you in a nutshell. Microsoft made the Xbox One look like a glorified cable box. Now before I go any further, I want you all to know that I have been a fan of Microsoft's since the original Xbox, I still have the console and the controllers and I still play Jet Set Radio Future on it and I own an Xbox 360 Elite which I currently use to play all the current gen. titles. So let's start with the polling results. According to an IGN article, a poll run by IGN UK showed that of the 76,000 people that participated in the polling, 75% of the participants said that the conference was disappointed with the reveal. 6% of the p

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Special Classes: Daryl Dixon Build

Hello everyone. Today we're going to build a custom Black Ops 2 multiplayer class to replicate the equipment Daryl Dixon(Norman Reedus) uses in the hit AMC television series The Walking Dead. Class Build The recommended level you should be before you begin to build this class is Level 45. You will need the Perk 2 Greed  Wildcard and Perk 3 Greed Wildcard. The Crossbow isn't unlocked until Level 25 and the perk to complete this class isn't unlocked until Level 44.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 News: Revolution Trial

Good evening everyone, tonight I have some news about Black Ops 2. Treyarch has released a timed trial of the Revolution map pack DLC for multiplayer. What does this mean? Starting today until the 28th of next week, you and other players around the globe will be able to play on the Revolution DLC maps as well as using the Peacekeeper SMG. Can you play Die Rise or Turned? As far as I know, you cannot. You access this trial by going to the in-game story and looking for the Revolution trial. The Peacekeeper SMG will be automatically unlocked once you download the trial as well as the Peacekeeper emblem for the Barracks. The reason for this trial was that Revolution seemed to be the least selling piece of DLC for Black Ops 2, so Treyarch released the trial, so the assumption is that players will try out the DLC and then decide whether or not they actually want to buy it. Personally I don't think more people are going to buy Revolution, I think what is going to happ

Call of Juarez:Gunslinger Demo Impressions.

Hello everyone. This week on Wednesday a new arcade title was released, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. An old western, shoot 'em up with atmospheric level design, good story and great gun play. Now this is only the demo I played so I'll only be reviewing what I was able to play in the demo, it won't be written like a full fledged review. I wasn't able to get much from the story so I'll focus on presentation and gameplay. The graphics I found were very well done, astonishing, to say the least. It was atmosphere heavy, the world around me was so breathtaking and even at the beginning at the demo I was blown away, my jaw literally dropped at how impressive these graphics were. It's almost the quality of a fully developed title. It has a cartoon like quality yet also a realistic quality to it, almost like Bioshock Infinite had met the old west. It was high quality eye candy. As for the gameplay, it was 20 minutes of pure an

Jumping The Gun: "Xbox One is a failure!!"

Good evening everyone. Now yesterday Microsoft held a press conference revealing the Xbox One. People are saying they love it, some are saying that the console has all ready failed. Slow your roll there internet. Now yesterday I put my 2 cents on what I thought about the conference, I want everyone to know that I DISLIKED THE CONFERENCE AND NOT THE CONSOLE. We haven't seen any games played on the console itself so saying that the Xbox One is already a failure is like saying the Plasma TV in the store sucks because you weren't watching Spongebob on that TV. We haven't seen any games being played on the console, yes I understand that a lot of us wanted to see games in the conference not how you can watch TV, but from what was shown was impressive entertainment wise. We still haven't seen gameplay on the console, we don't know how gaming on The One looks like, we know what it can do aside from gaming, we haven't seen what it can do gaming wise, s
