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.

Guild Wars v.s. World of Warcraft

Hello people of America and the world!

Today, we are going to compare two MMORPG games, Guild Wars (GW) and World of Warcraft (WoW).

Guild Wars vs World of Warcraft (Graphics)

WoW wins. It has better shadows, better texture, and just more real feeling.

Guild Wars vs World of Warcraft (Game play)

Again WoW wins. Why? Because WoW has more and better skills/spells. Another reason, you can jump and fly in WoW. In Guild Wars, you can only run. Which gives WoW another plus! it's just more fun to jump/fly, than just walk, it keeps you more entertained. Also, WoW is just a bigger game, giving you alot more things to do, places to go, and things to kill! XD

Guild Wars vs World of Warcraft (Longevity of entertainment)

By far WoW... As many say, it's so addicting, it's like a drug! :O lol

Is WoW still better than Guild War, even though WoW has a monthly fee?

Totally yes! You get like a 2x better game for that monthly fee. More depth, better gameplay, more options, more entertaining, more customized, and just more fun!

World of Warcraft vs Guild Wars (For kids)

Guild Wars wins this one... For these reasons; kids are usually on a tight budget, so they can't afford the monthly fee. But, I think if you guys just only play WoW instead of buying other games like GW, you should be able to afford the fee. Because, 1 game of GW is like $40-$50, and $50 can pay for a good amount of months of WoW. Therefore, just don't buy other games and only play WoW, and you will be able to afford it. Trust me it's worth it, WoW won't let ya down.

Final result.

WoW is just a better game period. *ding ding ding!* Although it has a monthly fee, you get so much bang for you buck, it's worth it.

Remember, there's a reason why it's the leader in MMORPG games.

Here is a link to WoW's 10 day trial. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/trial/index.html?referrer=WORLDOFWARCRAFT&source=wowhome&promo=1

You can get a short term trial that will let you try Guild Wars and all of it's expansions. But you gotta buy it in a store for like $2-$5

Game Review: Dawn of War

Dawn of War Seriese 4/5 stars

(RTS)

The Dawn of War Seriese: Is a very solid RTS game solid set of games with, great graphics, good gameplay and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

To me, all of the Dawn of War games had bad storylines. They weren't very good or engaging . If you're good at RTS games, I highly suggest not playing this on easy mode. But.... There are like 8 campaings, which is nice, for varity, and keeping you entertained for awhile.

Dawn of War:

Best campain out of all the DoW games. Infact, if I could only own one of these games. I would get this one.

Dawn of War: Winter Assualt:

This one has a "ok" campaign. But, too much switching between factions.

The Imperial Guard that Winter Assualt added, aren't very good either. The Imperial Guard infantry are too weak and loose moral too quickly. They are mainly officer/leader based infantry. Their vehicles and boss vehicle are very good and strong, but still I'd reccomend playing Space Marines over them any day.

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade:

This expantion is probably the worst campaing out of all of the DoW games. It is bassically a big compilation of little, small and lame scrimages, with no objective other than anilihat enemy. All that, with little to no storyline. But the new races they added are very good for multiplayer. The Tau Empire, which are a mainly stealth based race. With weak vehicles and infantry don't really pack a huge punch. But as I said earlier are stealth based. Which gives you an advantage. The Tau Empire also has an alliance faction, the Kroot. (I do not reccomend playing the Kroot. They are mainly melee, and take no damage.)

In totality there are 8 different races in the DoW seriese, all with different strenghs and weaknesses, which means there's literaly always a race for you. the

Eldar: are very mobility, and stealth based. All of their buildings can teleport to any where on that map that you can see. Also all of their buildings can go invisible.

The Imperial Guard: Ifantry are too weak and loose moral too quickly. They are mainly officer/leader based infantry. Their vehicles and boss vehicle are very good and strong, but still I'd reccomend playing Space Marines over them any day.

Space Marines: They are all around in almost every aspect. Not specializing in any single aspect, but are moderatly too good in almost every cagegory. The Space Marines race has the ability to upgrade their sargents with the "Rally" ability. Which restores squad moral to full. The Space Marines only down side is that they eat up your strategic points fast.

Necrons: are a very reseiliant, mobility and energy based race. Their infantry pack a moderate punch. They don't really have true vehicles, but they have units that are good enough to make up for that.

Chaos Marines: Are very similar to the Space Marines, but are a little weaker, but are cheaper and are a little more mass based, but not by much. All around in almost every aspect. Not specailizing in any single aspect, but are moderatly good in almost every cadigory. (I hate their buildiers' voice >.<)

Orks: Are quantity not quality and are more infantry than vehicle based race. Relying on mass amounts of their units to overwhelm enemy. Although they don't deal much damage individually, they deal considerable damage when together. But, when not in mass, they loose moral fast, and are near to worthless. The Orks vehicles are horrible.

The Tau Empire: which are a mainly stealth based race. With weak vehicles and infantry that don't really pack a huge punch. But as I said earlier they are stealth based. Which gives you an advantage. The Tau Empire also has an alliance faction, the Kroot. (I do not recommend playing the Kroot.)

In the end, all these races give you variety, and each requires totally different strategies and tactics to play.

Final Summary: A very good RTS game, one of the best RTS multiplayer games in fact. Because it doesn't get old, due to their varaity in races. But could still use some improvements in the campaign area (Mainly Dark Crusade), and overall race balancing.

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.
