Battlefield 4 Weapon Guides: MG4

Most of us have a pretty good idea of how LMGs operate in Battlefield. Usually slow firing, heavy recoil and massive magazine. The MG4 is different in one instance. This is the MG4, in Battlefield 4. Stats The MG4 is unlocked at an LMG score of 48,000. The minimum and maximum is on par with most other weapons. 18 at a distance and 25 at close range. The damage drop off doesn't start until 8 meters and the damage doesn't reach it's minimum of 18 until 65 meters. The fire rate is fast for an LMG at 800 RPM! The only other LMG with that fast of a fire rate is M249 and the only other LMG to come close to that fire rate is the AWS, clocking in at a fire rate of 780 RPM. When it comes to reload speed, the MG4 is on par with most other LMGs. The reload speed whether empty or still with some rounds in the magazine is 6.2 seconds. When we go to the magazine size, it's also on par with some LMGs with a magazine size of a whopping 200 rounds! Recoil of cour...

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Review

In the 7th generation of consoles we introduced to a new Lara Croft in the game 'Tomb Raider' a year later, during the 8th generation of consoles, the game was remade for the next-gen consoles. With some improvements to the graphics and framerate, the game is still the same as it was the year before. Presentation The power boost in terms of graphics the game has received from the new console hardware is nice, but not something that will blow you away. I played the Definitive Edition on the PS4 and although the 60fps Tomb Raider looked nice, I honestly thought to myself... "This is it?" Nothing really looked different enough for me to say "Wow what a difference!" Explosions look great, the environments look great, guns and Lara look great. Nothing more, nothing less. Gameplay The Definitive Edition of Tomb Raider still plays the same as the original version from last year. It does have some new additions to gameplay like using th...

Glenn Beck Believes Watch_Dogs is Teaching People to Hack in Real Life

It's no surprise to many of us in the gaming community that a lot of people believe that violent video games are 'training' players to either kill, steal or more recently hack, at least that's what Glenn Beck thinks. For those of you who don't know who Glenn Beck is he's a conservative pundit. He's been on Fox News, he's now got his own network called "The Blaze." Recently he talked about Watch_Dogs on his show. Go to 3:58 in the video and that's when he'll start talking about Watch_Dogs. Did you hear that? Apparently Watch_Dogs is teaching you to hack into Glenn Beck's iPad! I'm no hacking expert but I think hacking is not that easy as Watch_Dogs makes it out to be. This is not Glenn Beck's first time saying something completely ignorant about video games, in fact, he's had other people come onto his show talking about violent video games. Categorizing violent video games as "training simulator...

Battlefield 4 Weapon Guides: M1911

A common problem I find with most handguns in Battlefield is I can never decide on which handgun I can rely on to finish the job my primary weapon started. Luckily DICE made the M1911. This is the M1911 in Battlefield 4. Stats  The 8th side-arm in the secondary category, the M1911 is unlocked after earning a Handgun score of 34,000. It's lowest damage at range is 15.4 units of damage and it's maximum damage in close quarters is 36.6 units of damage. The weapon fires the unique .45 ACP round. The fire rate is rather slow compared to most other handguns. The M1911 fires only at a rate of 310 RPM, whereas handguns like the P226 fire at 400 RPM, the FN57 fires at 455 RPM and the CZ-75 at a fire rate of 380 RPM. Range is surprisingly good,  damage does not begin to drop until reaching  close or past 8 meters, you will reach the minimum amount of damage of 15.4 at exactly or pass 40 meters. Magazine size is very poor at only 7 rounds +1 in the chambe...

Resident Evil Archives: RE0 Review

Sometimes when another entry into a series is made it sometimes does not have enough content or change much from the previous entry of the series to be considered a brand new entry into the game series. Fallout: New Vegas was seen as more of an expansion pack to the Fallout franchise rather than a brand new experience in the Fallout series of games. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Revelations also share this same criticism. Resident Evil 0 is similar to New Vegas and AC:Brotherhood as it does not feel like a brand new Resident Evil experience and instead feels like an expansion pack to the Resident Evil franchise. Presentation In terms of graphical design,the Resident Evil Archives edition of Resident Evil 0 does not change much. It looks if not just as good or the same as the Gamecube version of Resident Evil. The only difference I did notice in the design was the font design in texts you would read for things like "Take the Handgun Ammo?" and "Took th...

Titanfall(360) Review

At long last I had my chance to play this game. For last few weeks I have been scoping out my local video store for Titanfall for the 360. Twice I arrived to rent and return videos and a game, both times there was no copy. UNTIL LAST THURSDAY! I quickly ran to the 360 section to see if they had a copy...AND THEY DID! I took it, got out as soon as possible. I put in the game, installed the HD content and it was......awesome. Presentation On the 360 I wasn't expecting to get all the great detail of the Xbox One version of Titanfall, with that said, I was kind of impressed to see how well the game was ported from Xbox One to Xbox 360. Aside from that, everything looks pretty cool. Weapons have this nice futuristic design to them and the locations you play on will give off a great sci-fi like feel to these areas. You'll be on planets with different monsters and aliens either surrounding the map or in the map, bones of even bigger creatures found on the maps an...
