What I Spend Money On

This is something I actually had in mind before I started but never actually posted. Besides spending money on phone bills and college I do spend my money on what I enjoy most like other people and that’s video games, and that’s what it’s going to be used on more often now for my site to keep going and so I can always bring in new ideas for everyone to read and enjoy. I even used my money on one of the worst games of 2011 *cough cough* Dukey

So money is not much of an option when it comes down to video games unless its a game I feel like it won’t ever get my attention. Which I will talk about soon on here. A game I haven’t tried but heard so much good about and waiting just about 5 years just to even consider getting. So i hope you readers out there enjoy it when it happens because I know a lot of you will.

To conclude this topic I like to thank “100 Blog Topics I Hope You Write” by Chris Brogan. If you have a blog and can’t come up with a first topic click here .

 

My Guest Post

So on this blog title Rails and Planers I made a post about my experience on surfing in New York City and how I learned about it. I talk about how cartoons made me think differently about surfing but now ever since I saw his page I now know that what i learned is just completely made up. So many things I never knew about surf boards until rails and planers popped up. Go ahead and check out my guest post here. While your there also look around on his page and check it out.

Now this post isn’t entirely related to what my blog is actually about but I just want to throw something out there to the world. Something that I’m pretty sure nobody would ever say. E.T

This picture up there is my favorite picture of all time. This picture is off the old and original and first E.T the game. Why did I choose this? Well it shows a lot of history and how much hard work gaming industries had to go through just to make something that everyone or majority of the world to enjoy. E.T the game was told to be the worst of the worst games out there. So bad that they actually buried over thousands of copies of the game.

E.T buried

Now don’t get me wrong yes I can understand why people hated it. Have I ever played it? No, I haven’t but if I had that chance I will. These two image represent a set of games that deserved a chance to redeem themselves. So my reason to choose these was because even though the game was at the bottom of the list of all games, there were people who still liked the game enough to keep their copy of it. That shows that the game had some good in it. The first image is important so that I can remember what I’m doing this for. So I can speak out for the games of both great and not so great games and explain that there should never be a game title as “bad.”

 

Game Wars Review part 2

CVH

So in my last post I spoke about 
an old war between two games and now I’m going to talk about the other side of the war. Call of duty is an old francise since the PlayStation 2. It’s first game was Finest Hour and it was a successful one at that. Now i personally don’t play CoD as much as Halo but I have to admit, Call of Duty has it’s amazing moments as well. It aims to make the game feel as real as it can get and look real and it has a great job at doing that but I don’t know about “feeling” real. Since there are to different companies making the CoD series I will make this simple and short.

The CoD Modern Warfare series has an amazing way of telling a story from the perspective of different people and each of them having an effect to the story line. Weapons are very modern timed but graphics always look like thier being reused and never feels that different but it does look different. The Developers are Inifinity Ward and you can Click here to see which CoD games they created.

Then theres the Black Ops (BO) series but we are also going to include World at War (WaW) because it was what started the best thing to come to CoD and that is zombie mode. It was a unique add on to the series where you and three friends or strangers can work together and survive wave after wave or like in BO2 have 8 people but in opposite teams. Along with its multiplayer maps being different everytime and guns change but aren’t as good as the original WaW. Graphics actually have slight changes but are barely noticable. The developers are Treyarch and you can click here to see which CoDs game they created.

So thats my small review on both sides of the war. I love Halo but I also enjoy Call of Duty when I have my friends to play with. Give Halo (3, Reach or 4) a try along with CoD Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops. If you haven’t tried any of these games I would Recommend to give them a proper try and let me know what you think of them by placing your thoughts in the comments section.
