Gamer Guy with Two Cents

I have to admit I was pretty surprised to see how well this game was made. Granted there are still a lot of the typical CoD tropes in the game but I'm actually pretty glad to say I had fun with this. Thank god it was nothing like Call of Duty Ghosts!!! Power Changes Everything Advanced Warfare takes place in 2054. Modern military units are equipped with Exoskeleton Suits or Exo-Suits for short. Your standard infantry man or woman can jump to high ground in an instant or dash away from enemy fire without a single bullet grazing them. You play as Jack Mitchell, a soldier once fighting for the United States Military but is approached by Jonathan Irons, father of Mitchell's recently deceased best friend. You are brought into the private military company Atlas, an organization that has proven to be more successful in stabilizing regions and win the wars that other nations could not. As the story progresses you find that not all is perfect as we learn that Irons is not...

Besides the EA movie licensed games that were released with the three movies and a few spin-off titles. There hasn't really been that many games involving the Lord of The Rings universe has there? Well Shadow of Mordor seeks to change that and it will really surprise with how fun it is. But it may be because it plays a lot like another game a lot of us might have played involving a certain man in a mask. Banished from Death The story to Shadow of Mordor is a very interesting one, exciting to those who are a fan of the Lord of The Rings universe. The game centers around a Gondorian ranger, Talion, that is posted at the Black Gate. The outpost overlooking the lands of Mordor. One night the outpost is attacked by the Black Numenorean; Sauron's most elite captains in the Mordor army. Talions' family is then taken captive to be part of a ritual and is killed right in front of him. Talion is also killed, or so it seems that way. Talion is mysteriously still alive and...

One of the many remastered games that came out in 2014 was Metro Redux. A two for one remaster which contained 2010's Metro 2033 and 2013's Metro Last Light. I missed both titles during the 7th generation and decided to pick up the Redux after hearing good things about both games. I loaded up the game and was quickly put into the harsh and horrifying world of Metro. Welcome To The Metro The story of Metro 2033 is told through the main character Artyom as he ventures from his Metro home of VDNKh to a missile silo named D6 that may contain the firepower necessary to stop a group of creatures known as the Dark Ones. In between missions Artyom will give out information regarding the story or rumors surrounding the parts of the Metro and surface areas that Artyom is about to explore. These moments I think serve more as a time filler rather than to add to the lore of the Metro. Mostly because they are very short and don't add to the lore all that much. It is somewh...

There are many games out there that are more multiplayer focused. Competitive and cooperative alike. Games like Payday 2 are games that are heavily focused on co-op play and nothing but co-op play. You would be a fool to think "I'm going to play this by myself." This is Payday 2 Maybe there's a story? There isn't really a story to Payday. I tried to figure out if there was one, to realize there really isn't one. At least to the game. There is a webseries called Payday The Webseries which does shed a little more light on why the Payday gang is currently operating in Washington D.C. and who their handler, Bain is. Don't look to play Payday 2 to find an interesting story Believable yet dated Although many of Payday 2's environments are not exactly the most up to date, keep in mind this game was released in 2013. With that said though, environments are designed in a very realistic and believable way. A lot of the street areas, banks a...

There's too many games out there that are bleak, brown and dark. Especially in terms of shooters. Thank god there's a game out there that fixes all that. Ladies and gentlemen, Sunset Overdrive. Whoops! Did we do that? An energy drink company known as Fizzco has made a new energy drink called Overcharge Delirium XT and the unfortunate, unknown side effect of drinking Overcharge is that the drink turns everyone who drinks it into a mutant. Whoops Fizzco didn't intend for that to happen, but what makes them the villain in all this is that instead of trying to fix the problem they instead lockdown all of Sunset City. The outside world doesn't know what is going on inside the city and Fizzco is pulling out all the stops to make sure no one gets out and knows what's going on, Enter you, the hero, who's job is now to survive the apocalypse by saving any and all survivors in the city and looking stylish while doing so. However, "the hero" is...
