Game Review: Project Snowblind 1.5/5 stars






1.5/5 stars
Project Snowblind is somewhat similar to Bioshock, in how you can pick up cool weps, and your body is mutated. But, here is where it falters, the game is too "shoot em up", it's like an arcade game: Run forward to where your troops point you to go. Get there. Shoot the enemy that jumps over wall (in an infinite amount). And keep shooting them, until you are directed to move or kill some robot like boss.

Also, the game is too structured, you must follow your way point, and you must get to the way point in the way the creators of Project Snowblind want you to. Which is total junk.
The game's graphics are alright, but it's no where near today's generation of game graphics.

The storyline in this game is horrific. It's about Nathan Frost (you), and how he dives to protect one of this teammates, to protect him from a bomb. But instead Nathan Frost gets hit by the bomb. And gains mutation powers. (The powers are junk)

Final Conclusion: Do not buy this game that runs like an arcade game. The graphics are bad, the storyline is junk, and the gameplay is too "shoot em up"/"wack-a-mole". It's a waste of money.

Game Review: WarRock 4.5/5













I personally play WarRock, and it is my favorite FPS game atm... It has a good variety of weapons, 3 different gaming modes (Close quarter combat, urban ops, battle groups). There are also 5 different classes, which keeps the game from getting boring.

Engineer: Repairs vehicles, but are probably the worst class.
Medic: Has the ability to heal yourself and your other teamates, while still being deadly.
Assualt: The most deadly and damage dealing class, mainly ment for upclose/medium range combat.
Sniper: Kills enemy from afar, giving you the advantage of range.
Heavy Trooper: Mainly the anti vehicle class, but can also kill enemy foot soldiers.
(Tip: once you get sick of one of the classes, just change your class. :D)

The game play is excellent especially for being F2P, graphics are moderately good but very good for a F2P, and I like how you can build up your account, level, unlock access to higher level guns, gain dinar and manage your K/D. Making WarRock a FPS/RPG which is pretty cool. XD

If you wanna become more hardcore buy premium, it helps alot. It unlocks; PX items (which are super rad!), alot of added features on creating rooms, the 5th slot, alot of sweet guns and you get a huge amount of dinar! woot!

WarRock also has alot of glitches, that are very easy to exploit, and where there are glitches there are glitchers. Yes, WarRock has alot of glitchers.
The WarRock storyline basically nonexistent/the worst ever, there is literally no storyline, I don't know why they say it's a game with a storyline! The only time they give you a storyline is when you are loading a map in small print. And the instructions they give you in the storyline are false, don't follow them... But that's just a side note.
The WarRock chat system could use ALOT of improvement, but it is still acceptable, and that also is another side note..XD

Final conclusion: WarRock is a very good F2P game FPS/RPG game that I would recommend to almost any gamer. It has great game play, a good variety of weapons, 5 different classes, and 3 different gaming modes which keep you entertained.

Game Review: Rainbow Six: Raven Shield














Rainbow Six: Raven Shield, is one of the better but not best, team based tactical shooter out there. Here are the reasons why.

First, Rainbow Six: Raven Shield makes it easy to command/direct your squad members and squads from a FPS view. Therefore, preventing fustration when trying command your squad member to do something.

Second, this game has a very good variety of weapons and gadgets. Also Rainbow Six adds a strategic element to the average tactical shooter. It allows you to plan: waypoints for all of your squads, the routes to get to those waypoints. Therefore causing you to really think, what weapons you want to equip your squad members with.

Third, Rainbow Six is very realistic. For example, if one of your squad members die, you loose them for the duration of the game.


Ok... Enough about the pros of Rainbow Six: Raven Shield. It's time to talk about the cons. The things that cause Raven Shield to just be one of the better tactical shooters, and not the best.

Con number 1, the hostage IQ is horrible! They are annoying, make weird noises, don't do what you tell them to do, run right into the line of fire, run straight into your gas nades, and don't even follow or hold ground when you tell them. I mean, I know that could be more realistic, but come on! Isn't that a little overboard? It's a game for a reason, we don't want all that junk, that makes the game so fustrating. lol >.<
Con number 2, this game comes with aimbot.......... Good for inexperienced players, but super boring, not difficult enough etc... For pro gamers.

Con number 3, horrific storyline period.

Con number 4, Rainbow Six, does let you set an engagement mode for your squads/squad members to follow. Meaning, they don't let you tell them to, hold fire, fire at will, shoot only when engaged etc...

Summary, Rainbow Six: Raven Shield, could use alot of touching up. But it still is an good tactical shooter, that I would recommend playing. If you're a; new gamer or not used to tactical shooters.
But if you're more experienced, I would suggest looking into the Swat series of games.

(Cheat for god mode)
1 press ~
2. type: godtrue
If you want to go back to mortal mode.
Type: godfalse
Note: god mode only effects the squad member you are controlling at that moment.

Game review: Halo: Combat Evolved





















Halo: Combat Evolved 3.5/5 stars
(FPS)

This game, is a very good game for beginners and even pros alike. The campaign has a excellent storyline, and is ahead of it's time in the graphic arena for the time it was developed.
The enemy IQ is good, they take cover, get on turrets, retreat etc... The IQ can be turned up or down, depending on what difficulty level you pick.
The multiplayer aspect in this game is very shallow and gets really repetitive. But it still keeps you entertained for about a few months.
Here are some good tips for playing Halo multiplayer.

First, Learn your ping/lead. Which is basically you gotta find out how far ahead of your target you have to shoot to hit them.
Second, although spamming your nades at your enemy/enemy spawn, may be a easy way to get in the top scores, it won't serve you well in the end. You will become too reliant on them, and have no skill with any weapon. Also, hogging is not a good way to get your kills either. (hogging means, to run someone over with your vehicle, giving you a kill. It's cheap, requires no skill, gives you bad habits and if you go against a good player, you'll get yourself killed.
Third, best gun to use is the pistol, and when you get more advance the sniper rifle.

Fourth, if you ever make a server, do not, and I repeat do not, make a server with shields, if you have banshees or scorpions on it.

Finally, although it may be fun playing on your own server you made, because you'll have 0 ping, which gives you (host advantage) because you have no lead. It isn't a good thing to do, because you'll get to used to your bullets landing exactly where your crosshair is, rather than learning your lead/ping. Therefore, the best way to get good, is go to like only 1 or 2 servers, and just play, play and play. And after awhile, you'll learn your ping/lead so well on those servers. Then you can expand to other servers, or just stay the pro on those servers.

Final conclusion, good game, good campaign storyline, but the multiplayer could use some better maps, more weapons, and more deepness.

The game Flyff is an f2p game. Meaning it's "free 2 play" therefore, you can't have too much of a high expectation... But is it worth spending your time playing Flyff? In my view, no... The only fun part of it is flying, and you get your ability to fly at level 20+. But after level 20, the leveling is time consuming and grueling. The graphics are not awe strucking, but they are ok.
(When I first tested this game, I couldn't get my character to stop jumping, I think either my space bar was glitching, or I hit auto jump or something. XD) But I got over it...lol

Final conclution, I could see Flyff being a good game if you have alot of time on your hands... But I would suggest investing your time into something more fun. Like gpotato's other game Rappelz, or if you're cool with buying the game, and not downloading it for free. I would suggest Guild Wars, or World of Warcraft.
