Euro Truck Simulator 2

Buy Here

Euro Truck Sim 2, simply, is an amazing game. Originating on the Steam Greenlight as the original Euro Truck, the game evolved out of Prague. Developed by a small company called SCS, the game has become a strange phenomenon. People like me who would never think of driving trucks or being remotely interested in real life find something special and interesting in meticulously driving a truck either stock from the game or a mod adding in American trucks or almost anything else imaginable. With modding being such a huge part of the game, SCS facilitates the use of these mods through (A) easy installation of downloadable mods, (B) Steam workshop compatability, and (C) an in-game mod manager that allows you to quickly enable and disable mods for different profiles. While the game is aging, I feel like it isn't really behind in a lot of aspects and is probably one of the most realistic sims, falling shortly behind several flight simulators.

FIFA 15

While this review may be many months overdue, I feel it's the right time as we're currently getting the gameplay of FIFA 16 from this year's E3. Beginning with the graphics, I think EA have done a fantastic job of facial duplication, pitch and uniform ware, and almost everything. However, as always with EA, there are some (many) graphical glitches. I think EA did a good job, especially on scanning every single BPL player's face for the game. One of the things I most enjoyed about FIFA 15 was the career mode. I focus a lot of my time on different sorts of career modes and I think this FIFA hit a sweet spot. In Manager Mode, the players are good at communicating, the contract and transfers are realistic and seem to actually not be that far from reality. One of my favorite aspects is how the players and news are dynamic and don't all sound exactly the same. While you may see the occasional repeat, they don't happen often and keep career mode fresh. Player Mode is great as well with everything being similar to Career Mode, but a little more of a personal touch to it all.

Of course, I need to mention the most popular aspect of FIFA, Ultimate Team. For those that don't know, Ultimate Team is a mode where you create the best team of your ability using all of the world's (licensed) players and compete with others in football matches in order to either reach Division 1, win trophies in tournaments, or simply prove to your friends either (1) how good you are at FIFA, or, more likely, (2) how much time and money you have wasted on playing and investing in the game. EA have had a lot of criticism over some recent things they've done to try to "level the playing field", but many think they have just tried to get a way to make more money. Anyway, UT seems to get better every year, and this year, they've focused mainly on the graphics. Despite claiming to have completely redesigned the goalkeepers, many of us believe that the goalkeepers have been fed bricks in order for them to prevent saving anything. However, I very much enjoyed this FIFA and so did most of my friends.

Overall rating: 9.0

Go buy it if you haven't yet and are interested in soccer.

Titanfall

Well, EA finally got a game right.



Titanfall. One of the best games of the year and definitely the best FPS out there right now (except maybe MW2). Titanfall is a full-out war between two colonies. Everyone drops onto the map in order to start the match. It is 6v6 with minions, Grunts and Spectres, and the team with the most points wins. But that's not all. Titans, parkour, sprinting, weapons, classes (loadouts), and more all have to do with the action Titanfall packs. Let's just go in order, starting with the titans, a 20 foot tall battle exoskeleton with guns, missiles, and in my case, I nuclear core that explodes when I eject. Anyway, I haven't yet played the campaign, as it takes about 30 minutes to load on a PC :|. I do want to and figure out the story and more of why all of this is happening. Back to the point. Parkour. Titanfall includes double (rocket) jumping and wall running, allowing to navigate terrain and get to spots that would otherwise be inaccessible. Infinite sprinting for both titans and pilots makes the gameplay fast and exciting. The loadouts are interesting, as I find one of the starting titans (the tank) to be the best one in the game. It is a high damage and defense titan that travels across the map at slow speeds, but I have knocked out seven titans in one run with it. Also, it explodes when you eject, possibly killing one or two more pilots. I still have much to learn in terms of Titanfall. One is campaign and two is just to improve my skill in multiplayer to level up like crazy. Well, I hope you enjoyed, I will be posting a video of Titanfall soon, so watch for that on our channel, Luvlife891.

DBZ Supersonic Warriors and DBZ Supersonic Warriors 2

Links to where you can buy them on Amazon:
Supersonic Warriors ONE
Supersonic Warriors TWO

Hello everyone, I am back with two reviews at once! I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

I'm first going to review Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors for the Gameboy Advance. I got the combo of a GBA SP and DBZ:SSW for X-mas and was very pleasantly surprised. I started to play a little it and realized how small the character list was. The list contains 3 forms of all of the following: Goku; Gohan; Frieza; Ginyu; Vegeta; Trunks; Android 18; Cell; Dr. Gero; Buu; SSJ3 Gotenks. Each character has different attacks with varying damage varieties. For example, a level three Krillin is no match for a level three Gotenks. Each has their own unique ultimate and super attack. In this game, there is only a 100% ki barrier.

Next comes Dragonball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 for the DS. I got a used one from Amazon for about 20 bucks. The game was already completed for me, and since there is no way to erase the data, I had to cope with it. Anyway, I've played through all stories and definitely enjoyed myself. There are a few modes to enjoy. Training Mode: A mode in which you can toy around with all of your attacks (except your ultimate!) and learn the ins and outs of characters with no harm of being hurt. Story Mode: A mode in which you get to be one of about fifteen characters and fight your way through levels to beat each one. Free Battle: A mode where you pick any 1-3 of 30 characters to fight against another few of your choice. There are more, but those are the main ones.

Overall, I would give the original a 7/10 while the newer one gets a 10/10. So, if you must buy one of them, I recommend the second one. You do not have to have the first one to understand the second one, so I definitely recommend it. Happy playing!

Dirt 3

Dirt 3 is an amazing rally racing simulator, while I have not played the first two, I can give a few credible sources. Dirt 1, Dirt 2. Now on to the review.
Dirt 3 is an amazing simulator with gorgeous graphics, wheel support, and even multiple ways of racing and setting up everything. There is a classic rally, a cross rally (a cross between rally and regular racing), some others, and my favorite, gymkhana, a point based competition based on driving skills, destruction, and some other factors that are so much fun. The more you play, the more you want to. I have had the game since yesterday and am thrilled with everything in it. I wanted to use it as a driving simulator for my grandmother, but she found it so extreme that she put it down and I had to set her up with Euro Truck Simulator 2, which is a game I will review another time. The point is, I recommend this game to practically anyone and do very much love this game.
A small side note, here is the link to the wheel I play it with (don't really recommend it, but it's not too bad)

Pokemon Black 2

So I went out last Friday and bought Pokemon Black 2. I have to say, this is a great game. With an interesting plot and a wonderful aesthetic plan. It looks like they took black, added about two times the plot, and then made the game just that much more different. With a challenging combination of gym leaders and legendaries, and a brand new Team Plasma and also a new style for Thunderus, Landorus, and Tornadus, each having its own unique design instead of the previous identical-design-but-different-colors whole thing. So I do recommend this game. I got it for an awesome price of $35 There are cheaper ones on the internet, so here is one! Thank you for coming and I hope you enjoy play Black/White 2!
