Halo4

Opinions on New Halo



Halo 4 will drop for the xbox 360 later this year but I wanted to just give my initial reactions to what information is out at this time.

New look: From these images you can see that this engine is more powerful than Halo 3s engine. The cheif has much more detail down to his trigger finger. If you look closely he has no armor on his index finger. The lighting is also much better than in previous games, as you can just tell by looking at this image. There has also been some new information about the online play. Apparently in the main story line it explains why the red and blue Spartans are fighting each other. From what I read it seems that new Spartans have been created and they use the ship as a training ground. So all the online maps will be on this ship and each map is on the ship but it's kinda like a virtual world simulator or some shit like that. I'm pretty sure however you'll still be able to choose other colors besides red and blue, even though all the pictures currently out only show red vs blue. The hud is also back to normal, it's the same as Halo 3's hud so no more stupid health bar shit, just shields. It looks like power ups are back but I'm not sure. There's no doubt in my mind that is the most anticipated game this year, I just hope it doesn't get too much hype like Halo 3 did, I mean did it really need a live show just to have a countdown? Halo 4 drops in Nov. so save up and buy it and get ready because you probably won't be talking to anyone ounce you get it.

Black Ops 2

Relase Date

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been confirmed as the next Call of Duty game. :)

The picture was taken from a Target store. As shown on the card, the game will hit stores on November 13, 2012 and will be on the Xbox 360 and the PS3.

Space Birds

Still fun:

Mass Effect 3 The End Is Nigh

Yo the mass effect 3 ending was so live (live- slang for good/ amazing). Battling through waves of mutated alien species, NPC's getting put by reaper lasers, and not to mention the plot twist at the end. At the very end of the final mission it does get confusing, it turns out that the illusive man was right about what would happen if he took control of the reapers. As commander Shepard is dying you get to speak to that ghostly looking kid and I'll just call him that because I forgot what he really is. But any way you learn that he controls the Reapers and that every 50,000 years he tells them to kill all advanced organic life, so the younger species have time to develop. He also stated that the cycle prevents organics creating synthetic life so they won't turn on their creators, or some shit like that. Anyway you get to choose either to destroy the reapors or control them. I chose to control them because I thought destroying them was renegade only because the light towards that terminal was red. So once I made my chose my character desenigrated and the relays blew up. In addition to that you see a cut scene where joker,and two crew mates(depending on who you choose to bring with you) land on a prehistoric looking planet. When I see that im thinking okay game over, but I was wrong. Then this old nigga is talking to what I believe is his grandson about how shepard defeated the reapors so in reality the 3 games were just a story being told. I kidda makes me wonder if there will be a forth game, because the kid asks for another story. Maybe you will get to play as a young shepard before he/she became a commander, I doubt it but it's possible.

Emulator Games

So a friend of mine told me about a gba emulator, and I decided to try it out on my android phone. It's pretty good, and it works on any android smart phone, so watch the video if you want the emulator too. Only problem is the emulators will take up alot of space so delete some stuff before doing this.

Pokemon Emerald

I'm just going to do a quick review on this one, because it's one of the games I downloaded. The emulator itself works pretty well, but I did notice some problems. It tends to lag alot, so much in fact the in game music and sound effects are slightly off key. For example I noticed everytime a pokemon is sent out, the timing of it's cry is slightly off. But that being said it's still feels like the same old emerald, just being played on a smartphone. There is one other problem I had with this, since my phone is just a touch screen and doesn't have a full key board with arrows; It's sometimes hard to move in the direction you want. But still it is cool having a N64, GBA, and a Sega system in your pocket. If you do get an emulator I suggest getting all of the classic pokemon games.  



Mass Effect 3 (so far)

So far so good:

So I haven't actually beaten this game yet, but so far I'm really enjoying it. It starts off with a character creaation menu, which means you can create a new cammder shepard or just import your old person from ME1 or ME2, if this is your fist Mass Effect game, then you will have to start from stracth. Right off the bat, you can see the differences from the pervious games, for example the lighting is much better as well as the combat system. When in cover you can now perform dodge  rolls and quickly move from cover to cover. It's almost the same as Gears of War, but not quite as good. Another monumental change is that your character can now use any weapon class effectivley. It's the same as ME1 but lets say your class was a Vangaurd. Vanguards only are good at using shotguns and pistols, so try to use a sniper and it's much harder to use. However in ME3 it doesnt matter what your class is,your charecter can use any weapon they want, and they can also customize each weapon. The customization is pretty straight foward, find or buy a part go to a gun bench located on the Normandy (Ship) and add them on. Now you can only add two peices to a weapon at a time but this does not bother me at all. The space exploration is so much better than in ME2. In ME2 you had to upgrade the ship with stupid minerals you found on planents, and you had to use probes, which took forever to  do. I can honestly say i spent a whole day shooting probs into planets. Thank god they got rid of that. What really dissapointed me was the fact that all of your old crew from the old games were not actually part of your crew in this game. Like Mordin and Wrex make are in mass effect 3 and you go on missions with them, but they never actually join your crew. This was probably the only thing that really pissed me off about the game so far. I'll have more of the review once im done.

Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword

Warning if you are a fan of the Legend of Zelda franchise do not read the following:

This is the greatest Zelda game in the history of Zelda games. That is what I would have said if I actually liked Skyward Sword. I really don't understand why people love this game so damn much. I mean I just recently played it and for me it's just the same thing as last time. I mean I know you're not supossed to be bias when it comes to reveiwing anything, but I just have to be. I don't like this game and I didn't like any other Zelda game. First off I don't understand how Link gets to different parts of the world, everytime you start a new Zelda game. I mean is it possible that every now and then an evil pressence shows up and it's up to a kid named Link (who looks exactly like the Links from the past) to save the day.

Oh yeah, why can't anyone talk? They just make grunting noises and sometimes sing in a language that does not exist. I will say on a good note however they do make very good facial expressions to show how they feel when something happens, but I still wish I could here Link talk just once. Let me talk a little about the gameplay now. I must admit it is pretty good, for the first time I actually liked the combat, but when I wasn't fighting I wasn't happy :(. I wish there were more places to explore, and not having to backtrack the same places, just to dsicover that something else needed to be done. The dungens themselves are annoying. I hate when games make you think too much, when I game I wanna just do everything based on instinct not stop and think, even if it's just for a second. Pretty much if you love the Legend of Zelda franchise you've already beaten this game, and you absolutly loved it, and you wanna punch me in the face for saying such horrible things about this game. Ign gave it a 10/10 but it's more like a .1/10
