Dead Space 3 Review

Dead Space fans old and new do not worry. Although many critics and reviews out there have said that Dead Space 3 has not kept to it's original survival-horror roots, it is justified fear but ultimately Dead Space 3 does not miss it's chance to scare you. It has not changed so much that it is just an action game(in fact many people say Dead Space is action-horror) in fact Dead Space 3 scares you more than the original Dead Space and Dead Space 2. As a veteran Dead Space player and who has played both Dead Space games religiously, I was scared and even panicked at the mere sound of a Necromorph. With that said let's start the review. Story 200 years before the events the entire Dead Space trilogy there was a Necromorph outbreak on the planet known as Tau Volantis, The Marker Homeworld. Unfortunately the people there were not able to destroy the Markers or "The Machine" capable of destroying the source of Markers that would make the rest of the Markers a

Weapon History Originally the Crossbow was seen back in the original Black Ops. Back then the weapon was not as popular or well liked as the Ballistic Knife, those who mastered the Crossbow in Black Ops knew how useful the Crossbow actually was.

As of now we have had several hit releases, DmC:Devil May Cry, Dead Space 3, Ni-No Kuni and soon to come Aliens Colonial Marines and Crysis 3. This year you have a very good stack of games, even right now you have a pretty good selection to expand your gaming library. Even games from the past 2 years you have a good selection. Right now though I would like to give my thoughts on the current upcoming titles that are not that far away from us and may end up taking your cash and time. Cash and time that may result in cash and time spent well.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2: TAC.45 Handgun Weapon Guide

Hello everyone and welcome back to another one of my Black Ops 2 weapon guides. Today we are going to be looking at the most powerful handgun in Black Ops 2. The TAC.45. Weapon Profile/History The FN FNP-45 Tactical Handgun was produced in Belgium and the United States for the U.S. Joint Combat Pistol Program and fires the 45 ACP round and hosts many unique features that no other handgun can offer the user. A weapon designed for easy use, with minimal recoil, a healthy magazine size, easy to prepare for combat situations in any type of setting. The TAC.45 is the successor to the 1911 handgun. Weapon Performance The TAC.45 is a powerful handgun which is unlocked at Level 4 as part of Create-A-Class, the same time you unlock the Five-Seven. On par with the Five-Seven in terms of damage but where the Five-Seven has the advantage in magazine size, fire rate and low recoil, the TAC.45 does not.

The Sin Tax:Violence and Games

Hello everyone. Nathan here talking to everyone about violence and violent video games. Violence has been an aspect of our lives for centuries and currently a big part of modern culture. It's in our movies, our music, our television and of course our games. We see it everywhere and cannot escape the sight of it, looking away from a battle you may turn your head to see a war. Escape from an argument to be caught in the middle of a fight. What is the cause of violence? Who is to blame and how can we prevent it, many ask this question but for some reason the main target is always the video game industry. I have been a gamer for 13 years of my life, when I was 8 I played a game known as Conker's Bad Fur Day. A very graphic and grotesque video game with blood, gore and the occasional nudity scene. Then as time went on I played 2 more violent video games, Resident Evil 2 and DOOM 64.  Now judging from how violent these video games are and what a young age I was I sh
