Something Advanced Warfare Needs to Do

I dislike COD a lot mostly due to the fact that it is the same game every year. No matter what they name the next entry in the series, no matter how many new weapons they add or even new perks. Deep down, it is the same game like last year and the year before that. Even the graphics are the same as last year but given the most miniscule of updates in the graphics. The newest title announced in the painfully long series of COD titles is Advanced Warfare. As soon as this game was announced I already had a huge lack of confidence within the game being good or being new. Advanced Warfare hasn't been giving me anything to really convince me that they're going to try anything really new with the game. Advanced Warfare's presentation at E3 I think has really hurt the game. First and foremost, it was boring. The guy playing was probably told to demonstrate the game in a certain way, I understand that.  But someone seems to think that the best way to demonstrate th...

Top 5 Companions from Video Games

Once in a while we are given a traveling buddy or side-kick in a video game to help us on our quest to save the world. These companions help us greatly and make the journey to the end either easier or more enjoyable due to these helpful and loveable characters. So here are the (in my opinion) 5 best of  companions from video games! It's no particular order or rank. It's just a list of 5 companions which I think are the best of 'em all. Number 5 Lydia from Skyrim! Ah yes, your very first companion in Skyrim, Lydia. She's appointed to be your partner(or housecarl if I remember correctly) after helping the town of Whiterun. After that she's there to carry all the extra junk you can't carry, help take on bandits, wolves, dragons, frostbite spiders, falmer and draugr. In fact, most of the time she's the first one to run in to the fight! Even when there's a dragon she runs in ready to slice up a dragon with her sword! It was nice to know ...

My 5 Favorite Songs from Games

You all have that music bug that you find after listening to a particular song from a video game right? Don't lie, you know you do. We have those certain songs from video games that we like so much that even find ways to get the songs onto our MP3s and iPods. Some songs on this list are actually some I have on my iPod. So here are my favorite songs from games. Number 5 In the original Bioshock once you reach the underwater garden known as Arcadia. There is a bridge which you must cross which has gasoline spilt on it and a Splicer who is shooting at you from a balcony in the corner. Out of nowhere a song plays over the speaker system and it's Django Reinhardt's cover of the song Jitterbug Waltz. This is one of my favorites because to me, it has that right blend of acoustic guitar and violin. Which seems to be a common aspect in most of the music of Bioshock. To me, it's also very relaxing. You could be doing almost anything with this song playi...

Deadpool Review

I'm not a big comic book reading and I've really never known who Deadpool was until X-Men Origins Wolverine, Ultimate Spiderman and of course my friend who introduced me to Deadpool. I remember when this game was first announced, people we're flooding internet comments with joy about how awesome it is that Deadpool is finally getting his own video game. Then the game came out and got the same review of "ok." In my experience...I think that's the appropriate summary for this game. Presentation The graphics of the game are pretty decent, Deadpool does look really good but throughout the game you're not really going to be exploring anywhere that blows you away at how cool it looks. You see your assortment of standard rich villain buildings, sewers and ruins of an abandoned society. It's not that impressive. However, there are moments in which the game will surprise you with things like an old 8-bit designed level which is a result from De...

Need For Speed Rivals Review

I've never really been a huge race game fan, at least, outside of Mario Kart. I've played Hydro Thunder, Cruisin USA, F-Zero GX, S.C.A.R.S and some Need for Speed games. This Need For Speed aims to change how we experience Need For Speed with a heavy focus on online multiplayer in an open world. The result? Meh..... Presentation Need For Speed Rivals uses the Frostbite 3 Engine, the same engine used to power Battlefield 4. The game looks really good in terms of visuals. Cars have a very good amount of detail and for anyone who enjoys the sight of fancy and shiny cars, it's pure eye candy. Nothing is better to a car nut, than seeing sleek and smooth cars with the proper designs. Environments are nice, but honestly, you're not really going to be paying attention to the world around you. You see some desert areas, massive forests, uptown locations and some country locations with a nice view of lakes or some gas stations lying around. Gameplay ...
