The Console Wars-The Console YOU want to buy not what you MUST buy.

Hello everyone, GazetteGamer here talking about a subject that has been with gamers for a very long time. The Console Wars For those of you unfamiliar with the subject, The Console Wars is a debate between gamers from all over the world that argue which console is better than the other for many reasons. The Xbox 360 is better than the PS3 because of it's Hard Drive size, the controller is better, the PS3 is better than the 360 because it has a better graphics processor. All these reasons and more, someone will debate how their console is better than the other, but the fact of it is, is that either console you purchase you will have fun. The Wii may have last gen graphics but it did something unique in the video game industry that the other companies didn't do, introduce motion control. Yet still people argue that the PS3 is better than the Wii for better graphics and better online play and brought motion control to the PS3 with good graphics. Still people will argue

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review.

Hello everyone, GazetteGamer here once more for another review. This here is a review I've actually been wanting to do for a very long time now, the review of Skyrim. 2011's Game of The Year and very popular among the fans of the series and even players new to the series, from the creators of Fallout 3, Skyrim is one of the best games of 2011 and is still very popular today, players play Skyrim to either rank up their character or go roaming around the lush and beautiful environments of Skyrim to find dungeons, ruins, towns and new enemies to fight. All I can say before we start, this is going to get a good score. Story Skyrim is not a direct sequel to the last Elder Scrolls, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Skyrim rather takes place 200 years after the events of Oblivion and is set in the Fourth Era of the world. There is a prophecy that states that dragons will return to destroy the world and reclaim it  but that there is one warrior that will defeat the dragons an

Fallout: New Vegas Review

Hello everyone, GazetteGamer back again but this time for a review. Who doesn't like Fallout? The franchise telling a story of humanities bloodiest chapter in history is a series that has left it's mark in the gaming industry for being one of great story telling and gameplay. In 2008 Fallout saw a return with Fallout 3, 2008's Game of The Year. It was fantastic. The graphics, the voice acting, the story, the gameplay and the ability to give players the opportunity to make their own story in The Capital Wasteland, fast forward 2 years we have Fallout New Vegas. Taking place in The Mojave Wasteland and taking 4 years after Fallout 3. Sounds good right? It's more Fallout how could it be bad? Let's find out.

The Art of Games

Hello everyone, my name is GazetteGamer. I have played video games since I was 6 years old, since then not only have I grown up living with video games I have also grown up to understand what video games are, to me video games have become a form of art where it went from bloops and bleeps to wide open landscapes of the Old West in Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption. To the historically accurate depiction of Venice Italy during the Renaissance in Assassin's Creed II I have not only grown up with video games, they have grown up as well. Video games are a major form of entertainment in the Entertainment Industry and I can see why, video games have started to bring in free choices for players to make and to allow them to shape the world around them, games like Skyrim allow you to choose your friends, your foes and allows you to do what you want to do without affecting how the game will end, the ending is up to the player and allows him to write his or her own ending in Sky
