Rainbow Six: Siege Review

I have never played a Tom Clancy game until the newest Rainbow Six came out, but I have to say, I was not disappointed. If you love first person shooters, then this is the game for you.  My favorite game mode is definitely terrorist hunt. In this mode, you have four other people on your team, and you try to defend a hostage, find one, or just eliminate all terrorists. I like it because it’s very strategic and almost forces a team aspect, which means that very few, if any, go running wild like in Call of Duty.

My only problem with the game is that on the hard difficulty, computers shoot without aiming, or spawn right behind us gamers. It takes away the realness of the game. Other than that,  I really enjoyed them making a five man game mode. Everyone should definitely get rainbow six. I think that it’s well worth the money.

Left 4 Dead

Left 4 Dead was one of the most highly anticipated and highly acclaimed games of 2008, rivaling both Call of Duty World at War and Grand Theft Auto 4. It is one of the best games I have played dealing with zombie first person shooters. The only game that rivals it as a zombie first person shooter is Dying Light and even still it isn't touching L4D.

Valve needs to bring back Left 4 Dead to the next generation console, Xbox one. L4D sold over 1.8 million copies and was rated very high by companies such as, IGN Gamespy, and Game informer. Why wouldn't someone with that much success move the highly acclaimed game to next generation gaming systems. Why let one of the most popular games of 2008 stay on last generation consoles?

Will Xbox and Valve hear our cries for Left 4 Dead to be brought to next gen. gaming? Left 4 Dead currently has over 33,000 votes on Xbox.com for backwards compatibility for the title. Many people want this game including me. The only question is will Valve and Xbox listen to the fans?

Game Review: The Division

The game The Division has sparked a lot of interest in the gaming community. Unlike Call of Duty, Division focuses on a real life scenario tested by military simulators. The cast of people behind Tom Clancy games are pushing for the most realistic scenario in a game possible, and are doing a great job at it. Developers have stated that the most real life scenarios were taken into consideration and run through military simulators. The plot of the game is that special agents are dropped at "The Big Apple" that doesn't resemble the New York people have fallen in love with over the years. It is torn apart by thugs, looters, disease, and complete chaos. The developers said they really wanted to transform New York from it's beautiful scenery to a torn up unbelievable site plagued by disease and terrorism.

   The Division has a multiplayer set-up that allows people to play with friends, but there is also a place called "the dark zone" where characters search for gear and equipment, but have a chance to turn on their friends for gear and other items. The creators said they expected people to be more aggressive towards each other, but they also wanted to evoke a spirit of fear of betrayal. They wanted players to actually have a hard time turning on each other, but at the same time give opportunity to turn.

   I personally am very excited for this game. It is going to take strategy and team work to complete missions and liberate the The Big Apple of all of its problems. If you are a person who likes strategy and not just a run and gun like Call of Duty, then you should definitely get The Division. I have seen the game play and it is very strategic where gameplay is involved. What I also like is that different players have different jobs that you really need and have to rely on each other to succeed.  If you are a realistic gaming junky like myself, go out and grab The Division on March 8.

Game Review: Just Cause 3

Just Cause 3 is one of the greatest sandbox games of this year. It was released on December 1st, and I have to say: it looks like a game worth buying. I usually count a game as worth the money I paid for it if I play it for an hour for every dollar it costs. I’ve watched gameplay of it on Twitch.tv and from what I've seen, I know that I'll be spending hours of time just blowing things up. Just Cause 3 feels and looks like a really fun game. By far, this looks like it is going to be one of the most entertaining gaming experiences that I've had. From the graphics of flipping a car to the obviously amazing rush you get from blowing up multiple things, it’s clear this game is a winner.  If you absolutely love wanton destruction, usually in the form of explosions, then this game is obviously the one for you. Try it yourself and see what you think. Comment your thoughts below!

Rise of the Tomb Raider Review

Last week our favorite tomb raider, Laura Croft, arrived to the next gen consoles, and it looks amazing. This game is pretty much everything fans have been hoping for.  As the second reboot for the Laura Croft series, this rendition is so much better than its 2013 predecessor. Upon playing the game, it reminded me of The Last of Us , I don't know why I got that feeling, it just played out like a nice solid game. The way tomb raider looks is amazing, the textures and colors gave me a complete sense of immersion. My favorite thing to do in the game is to sneak up on enemies, and to take them out with the bow.  Overall, Rise of the Tomb Raider is a great game  and a 10/10 would recommend to others. While currently only available for XBox One and XBox 360, the game should be available for Playstation by the end of next year. Don't believe me? Get the game and see for yourself!

Fallout 4 Review

Last Thursday, the long anticipated Fallout 4 was released, so grab your pip boy and a bottle of Nuka cola and get ready.When you start the game, the first thing you do is customize your character. From what I've seen, you can make some pretty ugly looking characters. When Fallout 4 was first shown, some people attacked it for not having the best graphics and I definitely agree with that. For a next gen game it needs to look great! This game is definitely an improvement and the large world gives gamers great space to explore.  Fallout 4 has a vast wasteland that looks incredible, I feel as if I'm actually in a post apocalyptic world. From the dirt on the ground, to the beauty of the sky, fallout has some really sexy textures. My favorite thing about Fallout 4 is that almost everything is loot-able and I always have to grab everything that I can. Overall Fallout 4 is a great game, with a big open world for all players to explore. What do you think? Haven’t seen  the game yet? Play it and see for yourself!

Black Ops 3 Review

Call of Duty: BO3 is one of the most played game in today’s generation. Ranking number 4 of the most anticipated game of 2015, Black Ops definitely lives up to the hype. To be completely honest, I was planning on playing this game even before I knew that I had to write a review. Even though I was only able to play the multiplayer this weekend, it is definitely one of the best, only closely matched by the Black Ops 2 experience. Since I wasn’t able to play the campaign, I asked my fellow classmate, Brett Palko, his opinion on the game. Having not only played the campaign but beaten it, he had nothing but great things to say. His eloquent response:
“ It. Was. Crazy.” We’re going to assume that means it was pretty good. Don’t just take our opinion for it. Go get the game and see for yourself! Already played? Comment your thoughts below!
