Borderlands 2

The original Borderlands was popular and sold many copies. Now Axton, Zero, Maya and a new character Salvador have come to Pandora to stop Handsome Jack and his Army. The game is a combination of a shooter and RPG and the developers have made those categories work well together. At the start you wake up in the snow and a robot called Claptrap finds you. Clap Traps real name is Cl4p_tp general purpose robot. He finds you and takes you to his house. Clap Trap calls you his Minion. He gives you a gun and then you are off with him. This game uses Cartoon like but real graphics and that style of graphics has never been used in a game before, that was a big risk that Gearbox took. But it was a risk worth taking and that is one of the main features of the game. The rpg side is great and it had definitely improved from the original Borderlands. The shooting is satisfying especially with rocket launches. This game randomly generates guns meaning there are millions of guns but sadly you can't hold anywhere near that many at once. You can store things in safes and upgrade the amount of things you can carry. You can customise your character and purchase skills. Certain skills are only for certain characters. Salvador’s unique skill, is for a short time he can hold two weapons at once, Maya's is she can heal players in split screen and multiplayer, Axton's is he can drop a turret for a limited time and it will kill enemies and Zero's is he can do extremely critical damage. You need skill points to get certain skills. There is a lot of gore and swearing but you can turn  it off. A key feature of this game is split screen and online play. You can play with up to four different people on your own campaign. Pandora will spawn more and more enemies due to the number of players that are playing. Brick, a player character from the first game is no longer available for you to play as in the sequel. That is a bit of a letdown. There is a badass rank and when you level up you have access to new items. At the start of the game it seems bad because you have bad weapons and gear. If you have the first Borderlands you are able to transfer some guns and skills over which gives you an advantage. This game has a lot of game play time with up to twenty to thirty hours of story missions and if you add the rest of the missions it is around fifty hours of game play. You are able to drive vehicles and there are four seater vehicles. One for the driver, one for the gunner and two back seats. There is not a big selection of vehicles to choose from. The bosses aren’t too hard or too easy. There are grenades, grenade mods, invisible shields and much more. Sometimes you won't be able to find places but it eventually works out. This game is great. I give it 9/10. This game receives a best game of the year award.

Plants Vs Zombies 2 Delay

Pop Cap has delayed Plants Vs Zombies 2. The game was meant to be released on July 18 2013. It will now released some time in Summer. Pop Cap have left thousands disappointed. Let’s hope this game is worth it.

Plants Vs Zombies 2

Plants Vs Zombies one many game of the year awards and on July 13 2013 Plants Vs Zombies 2 will be released. It should have a come back of Crazy Dave, the plants and zombies from the fist game and have new plants and zombies. Let’s hope Pop Cap is able to make the sequel as good as the first one or even better. Here is a link to the trailer. Plants Vs Zombies 2 Trailer

Plants Vs Zombies

Plants vs zombies is a stratergy game for ios, PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac. Armies of zombies that want your juicy brains attack your house and you have to stop them with, of course, an army of plants. In the game at daytime suns fall from the sky and they also come from sunflowers. Suns allow you to make more and more plants. If you don't use stratergy and plan your attacks the zombies will reach your brains and you will lose. Placing wallnuts and sunflowers everywhere won't work against any zombie because they don't shoot. Placing a few pea shooters with one or two disco zombies coming won't work either. You won't win if your stratergies aren't well thought out. There are different levels like the backyard and the rooftop which is nice. There are minigames, achievments and challenges as well as the campaign. I noticed the controls on the ios device are easier than the PS3 Xbox 360,  PC and Mac. This game is good for young gamers and I give it 7/10.

Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception

Playsation essential
Even though it was a while ago I still remeber playing and reviewing Uncharted 2 because it was a 10/10 game. The good news is Uncharted 3 is even better. The campaign is great and Drake is on a journey to find Francis Drake's lost treasure. There is a few puzzles that are really hard to solve. The shooting is great and now you can hit enemies with items. The best bit is near the end of the game you get to jump out of a plane. The story is great like every Uncharted game. There is still a limited amount of guns but there is many different ones but that dosen't really affect the game. The cut scenes can go on forever but they are the best cut scenes I have ever seen. You now get to ride horses. I didn't get to use the multiplayer and Co op mode because I was one controller down and didn't have an internet connection. The multiplayer modes are every man for themselves deathmatch where you have to try to kill as many players as possible and try not to get killed. The other mode is Team deathmatch where you are on a team and have to try and kill as many players from the other team as possible. I was able to view the multiplayer maps and there a quite a few and they are big. The graphics aren't top notch but the're good. This game is amazing 10/10

Need For Speed Most Wanted

Need For Speed Most Wanted is a racing game full of action and it has better graphics than Grand Turismo 5. You are a street racer and your job is to take down the five most wanted racers. You get to drive around the city and there are cops, racers, cars to unlock and plenty more. This game also has the fastest car in the world included, the Bugati Veryon. This game is heaps of fun. I loved running away from Cops, driving up ramps and soaring through the air at high speeds. This game really is a whole lot of action and fun all in one. The cars can get to amazingly high speeds. There are only very few and very short in length cut scenes. But that was fine for the game because after all it is a racing game. I liked how there is a button to change the songs and there is a wide range of songs and lots of great ones to choose from. The game is very enjoyable and suitable for all ages. Anyone can have fun with this. I give it 9/10

 



Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare

This game Is old but great. The story in this game is that you're a solder in a massive war and you have to get out there and win or you're dead meat. The single player isn't bad there a tons of exciting missions and they're a decent length.  I just wish they put more missions in the campaign. A longer campaign would of been great.The multiplayer is quite impressive and there are a few modes. In free for all mode, you have to try to kill the other players. In this mode I kept accidentally committing suicide. There is a mode where you have to find the computers and hack them. The first player to hack all the computers wins. The multiplayer maps are pretty small and that can get very annoying. The graphics arent bad as well. There is just heaps of action in this game. One moment you're walking down a hill and the next thing you know there are 5 troops with assault rifles after you. I just loved it while I was in a tank shooting everyone in my way and getting away from those snipers.This is one of those games that you cant make any better. This is seriously a great game so I give it 9/10.
