Gamer Guy with Two Cents

Hello Everyone. Happy Halloween! I recently was able to play the reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise.....Tomb Raider. The origin story of the infamous Lara Croft. I must say......this was an awesome experience. I'm telling you this now, if you have not played the new Tomb Raider. YOU MUST!!! Story The young archaeologist Lara Croft is going on her first expedition to discover the lost island of Yamatai. She suggests to go to the Dragon's Triangle. As that could be the only other place Yamatai can be.  The Dragon's Triangle has a dark reputation which results in many members of the crew and Lara's friends having concerns about Lara's intentions. As they get close to an island in the Dragon's Triangle they are hit by a freak storm which results in the ship tearing apart. Stranding Lara and her friends on an unknown island.  Upon arriving, Lara finds herself fighting the island's elements to survive in order to find her f...

Hello everyone. Thank you for taking a moment to read my post. This is not going to be a very lengthy post. I have written on the 8th generation before. A majority of talking points when discussing the 8th generation I've already talked about. With that said. Let's get to the point. The next generation of console gaming is almost upon us. In 3 weeks the next generation will begin with the release of the Playstation 4. Many of us have made our pre-orders. Reserved our special bundles and are waiting eagerly for the next generation. I am as excited as the next guy or gal gamer but I want to give my 2 cents on what I think we will begin to see this next generation. In my opinion, I think we will begin to see new genres of games. New levels of immersion that some games could only imagine of reaching in the last generation. We're seeing it now with the Dual Shock 4 touch pad being used in Infamous: Second Son as a fingerprint scanner to progress in the game. Th...

Hello everyone. Doom. The grandfather of the FPS genre that sets you against the legions of Hell. It was the FPS game that everyone talked about in the early 90s. It was the most popular FPS of the 90s, so popular that it was ported to every console available at the time. The Sega 32x, Atari Jaguar, Gameboy Advance, Super Nintendo and the PSX. Doom is the most iconic FPS game of the FPS genre. Sure, Call of Duty may be the most popular FPS game of the genre, but it still has nothing on Doom. I recently had the opportunity to play the BFG Edition of Doom 3. A version of the game that had Doom 3, the expansion to Doom 3 "Resurrection of Evil" a bonus expansion "Lost Missions" and Dooms 1&2. Let's begin. Story It is the year 2145. You play as a marine who has been transferred to Mars City, a UAC research facility currently in the process of making Mars a second Earth. While there, you discover that there have been many accidents on the base tha...

Good afternoon everyone! Well it's that time of the year again. The time of year where we all dress up as our favorite characters or horrifying creatures to walk out into the night and knock on strangers' doors for free candy. The time of year where we decorate our front yards with cobwebs, skeletons and grave stones. So, being a gamer what I like to do around this time of the year is to play horror themed video games. Games that seem absolutely perfect to play around Halloween. Today I have comprised a list of 5 games you should consider playing during the Halloween season. These are the Top 5 Games To Play During Halloween. Number 5 DOOM 64  Of all the Doom titles I've played in the past. None of them stands out more like Doom 64 for the Nintendo 64. The original Doom is a classic,but, Doom 64 gets the horror of Doom done right. The music, the atmosphere and of course the demons you encounter in the game. To me, Doom 64 fits perfectly into H...

Evening everyone. Today is the launch of the Battlefield 4 Beta. An early launch for those who have Pre-ordered BF4, who have a Premium subscription and for anyone who has the Medal of Honor War Fighter Limited Edition Online Pass. I have the MOHWF Online Pass on my 360 hard drive so that's how I got early access. Let me just start off my impressions with two words. GOOD GOD! The first obvious thing that was glaring at me was that the game looks amazing. The leap from Frostbite Engine 2 to Frostbite Engine 3 is actually very huge. Although you can't see Frostbite 3 pushed to it's whole potential on the console version. The game still looks amazing, I must admit I was expecting a little bit more of Battlefield 3 when coming into the beta. The beta feels nothing like Battlefield 3; it doesn't even look like Battlefield 3. This truly is an entirely new Battlefield experience. Nothing feels even remotely the same as Battlefield 3. I actually jumped into ...
