Forza Horizon 3 review

Game summary:
Forza Horizon 3 is an open world racing game based in Australia, developed by Playground Games and published by Microsoft Studios for Xbox one and Microsoft Windows. The game was released on September 23rd, 2016 for "Ultimate edition" players and September 27th for "deluxe edition" players.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Campaign-
The game features a four-player co-operative multiplayer campaign, which means that you and three of your friends can do campaign races, challenges and other things together instead of on your own. I generally play this more when I play because playing campaign levels you up faster and makes

money faster and easier, especially with friends. How I explain the campaign is that you unlock races when you finish races, and now you can do little races on the side, for example the street races that if you win you get to keep the car you raced against. Campaign also gives you the option to choose from preset characters to give it a little more diversity. Barn finds are also the same in this one but there are just more cars to find.

Multiplayer-
Multiplayer in this Forza is basically the same as Forza horizon 2 obviously other than the fact it is in a different part of the world. There are many new races to play when you look at the map and ever race is fast paced and requires a good amount of focus to do well since the game is pretty realistic, handling wise in the cars. There is something that is brand new to the game which I think everyone really appreciated and that is the auction house, this is where you can buy or sell cars to other players online. I personally loved this add on because of the fact that in Forza Horizon 2 you couldn't sell your car and get money for it and now you can, which I think is great for when you spend a lot of money on a car and you can sell a car to get that money back.












-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My opinion-
I personally really like this game, I would have to say it is in the top five of my favorite games to play even though I haven't played it as long as some other games I really like this one. I really liked that the game now has wide body kits in it, my friend and I have wanted these in the game from the previous horizon but it didn't happen and now that it is in the game we cant get enough of it, we both have at least fifteen cars that have the wide body kits on them and when we play we can decide which

ones to drive. All in all I rate this game a 10/10 for quality and quantity of cars, saying that because there are 350 cars total to choose from.

My Opinion: 

I haven't played the game recently, but when I played it I enjoyed the new look compared to what I was used to playing like Modern Warfare 3 or Black Ops 2. The game did take some getting used to but from playing GTA V for a while I was used to the third person shooter set up. The quality of the game was much better than other games at the time and that was nice. All in all I like the game and if it looks appealing to you I would say to get it or get Watch Dogs 2 which just came out.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Review

Game Summary:
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is a first person shooter game developed by treyarch and developed by Activision. It was released on November 13th, 2012 for Pc and Consoles. This was the first game in the Call of Duty franchise to feature future warfare technology and the first to present branching storylines driven by player choice as well as selecting weapons before starting story mode missions. It also offers a 3D display option.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gameplay:
Campaign-
Known as "Strike Force missions" these branching storylines appear during the 2025 storyline and feature permanent death. The success or failure of these missions are what predict the future for the rest of the campaign storyline. Choosing one the of the missions locks out the others unless the player begins a new campaign.

Multiplayer-
One of the biggest changes to multiplayer is the pick ten for the create-a-class menu, which gives the player of 10 total slots in a class, which are used for guns,perks, grenades and more. kill streaks were renamed Score streaks, which are not gained by kills but by points. This allows the player to focus on objective modes, which also earns points towards score streaks. Unlike the games before it, Black ops 2 has a weapon progression system which is used to unlock weapon attachments. After the weapon is at maximum level the player can choose to "prestige" it or not.

Zombies-

Zombies got an upgrade with another game mode other than the usual survival, which it is called "Grief". This game mode is an 8 player co-op, featuring 2 teams of 4 players competing to survive. other than this the survival is basically the same only tat the graphics are better which made the zombies much scarier.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Opinion:

I really liked this game on Xbox 360 and wish treyarch would remaster it for Xbox one so I could play it in high quality. Over all I loved playing all the game modes, especially multiplayer because this was one of the first games I played that you could create your own color and the ones you unlock are really nice as well. Zombies was very fun but at night, it used to wake me right back up when I would dose off.

Battlefield 4 Review

Summary:
Battlefield 4 is a first person shooter game that was developed by a Swedish video game developer "EA Dice" and published by Electronic Arts. It is a sequel to 2011's Battlefield 3 and it was released in 2013 for Microsoft Windows, Playstation 3 and 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Campaign:
For the most part in campaign, the player must play mimi-sandbox-style levels, using vehicles in some cases, like tanks and boats, according to the environment they're in. The character you play as, Recker, can use two campaign only functions, which are The Engage function and The Tactical Binocular function. Which the Engage function allows Recker to give orders to his squad mates or friendlies in game to attack any enemy insight. The Tactical Binocular function allows the player to identify friendly and enemy units, weapon stashes, explosives and objectives in the field without the visor.
I personally like the campaign for this game, it gave me a storyline to go by and at the same time taught me how to play the game better. By playing it I understand the game more and know all the maps in online because they are all based from the campaign.




Multiplayer:
Battlefield 4's multiplayer contains three playable factions- the United States, China and Russia- fighting against each other, in up to 64-player matches on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. A newly reintroduced "Commander mode" gives one player on each team a real-time strategy like view of the entire map and the ability to give orders, weapon drops, vehicles and UAV to teammates.

In my opinion this is the best part of the game because it is the only game I have played so far that an fit this much people in one game which to me makes the experience that much more realistic. The only problem for me is the glitches and lag sometimes which make the game slower.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Opinion:

This is definitely one of my favorite games to play, its full of action and is very addicting when you get used to the game. I play this game for hours on weekends with my friends and it never gets old to us personally because we like games that are a little older and that aren't really futuristic. The game only has a few problems which I mentioned already, which are the glitches and the lag sometimes, since its an old game people can find a lot more glitches that will give them the upper hand when playing and put simply no one likes lag. In all it is a very fun and addicting game to play and if i had to rate the game i would give it a nine out of ten. 

Summary:
Call of Duty Ghosts is owned by Activision and developed by Treyarch. The game is a first person shooter video game, which began on Microsoft Windows, which later expanded to consoles and handhelds. The games before this were based generally in World War II and near future times, Ghosts is takes place in a near future setting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game modes:
Campaign-
I personally liked playing the campaign in this game, it had parts that I didn't expect and had a storyline that is believable unlike the new futuristic games that barely have a storyline. The storyline of the campaign is that it takes place after the USA has fallen and the remaining soldiers fight to stay alive and to take their country back.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multiplayer-
The multiplayer in Ghosts is very fun to play, unlike other Call of Duty games Ghosts added new mechanics to the game that allow you to destroy parts of the map the get to a better vantage point. Like my personal favorite on the map Octane where you can go upstairs and blow a part of the wall out to see the map much better when sniping or using any other gun.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extinction-
This game mode is a four played co-op mode, which puts you and your team up against various types of aliens in a survival style map. Which the main goal is to destroy all of the hives where the aliens reproduce and completing this will be completing the game mode. I liked playing this because it is similar to black ops zombies, but with a twist which I like because its not like the normal zombie the aliens don't always die from a headshot.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squads-
This is a brand new game mode that allows you to play by yourself (with AI's) or with others to play against another squad (with friends or AI's and friends) and compete to win in, squad vs squad, safeguard and war game. I didn't play this much because I feel like multiplayer is more fun to me personally.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My opinion of the game-

I think the game is very much different from the other Call of Duty series before it. The addition of the dog companion to me is a very nice and is basically like a personal alert system for you and teammates in close proximity to you online in multiplayer. Also I like how they strayed away from zombies and used aliens instead, which makes it so unique. In the end it is a great game to play, it only has minor problems like frame rate issues and quality drop sometimes but other than that a really good game, I would surely recommend playing it for the different experience.

Summary:

Modern Warfare 2 is a first person shooter game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. It is the direct sequel of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, continuing on the same story line and gameplay.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game modes:

Multiplayer-

• Multiplayer allows you to play online with friends and people across the world to compete for victory against each other. I used to and still do sometimes play MW2 with my friends and to me multiplayer is the best game mode in the game.

Special Ops-

• Special Ops (Spec Ops) is a game mode which is consists of missions you and a partner do and when you finish one you move on to another harder mission. I play this game mode from time to time but it can get boring after a bit to me but it is still a nice game mode.

Campaign-

• In campaign you go through a series of missions which follows the story line of the game, once you finish the campaign you get a full understanding of the story line. I liked the campaign,but what I liked most was the end, which is down below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My opinion-

• I like MW2 just as much as everyone else, even though it is kind of old and the quality isn't the best, its still one of the best games I have played. I like that the series of the Modern Warfare games are all connected and that even though they are separate games they still follow the same story line which a lot of other series don't anymore, other games are more about futuristic things instead of a good story line.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Overview:

The game consists of three game modes:

1. Multiplayer- This game mode that lets you play with others (PVP 5vs5) and either plant/destroy a bomb or rescue/protect a hostage. This game mode is the most fun to me and is the most played game mode, not only be me but with everyone else who owns the game.
   
   
   
   
2. Terrorist hunt- This game mode is about hunting town terrorists before they can plant a bomb or if they get to plant the bomb eliminating the enemy team and defusing the bomb.
   
3. Situations- This game mode is basically like obstacle courses for you to go through, which it is like the campaign for the game. I mainly used it to get used to the game and use most of the guns and get used to them before going on multiplayer.
   

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My opinion:

• I think this is a very addicting and fun game all around. Sure you have to get used to it if you're like me and have been playing COD mostly, but for me it didn't take long to get used to because it is basically the same. This game is mainly based on strategy and tactics, the game makes you think of new ways to outsmart the enemy team and claim the victory.

• The game is much more fun when played with friends in my opinion, plus when playing with friends you can communicate and that will help by giving each other information of what to do and where to go. When playing with friends also for me makes it less of a loss when we loose because I don't take it too serious.
• In all the game is very fun and addicting, it makes you think more than an average COD game and it requires communication for a bigger chance of victory unlike a COD game where you don't need a strategy as much.

Modern Warfare 3 Review

Infinity Ward (creators) summary of the game:

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (stylized as CALL OF DUTY: MW3, and also known as COD: MW3, Modern Warfare 3, or simply MW3) is the eighth main Call of Duty game, and the fifth developed by Infinity Ward. It's the sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and is the final installment in the Modern Warfare series.

.......................................................................................................................................................................
My opinion of the game:

In my opinion this is by far the most addicting, fun and exciting game I have ever played and today is still my favorite game. If I had to choose between the newer more futuristic games and MW3, I would choose MW3. The amount of fun I have had playing this game is amazing. The remastered addition to MW3 is coming out in the new game Infinity Warfare, now that might just be the only reason I might get the game. I personally don't really like the futuristic games too much so I would only get Infinity Warfare for the MW3 add on. I mean don't get me wrong the new games have very nice quality gameplay, but in the end I still think that the older games are more fun to play even if I have already beaten the game.

.......................................................................................................................................................................
Campaign
Starting with the campaign, which like other modern warfare campaigns is a globe hopping experience that puts you in the boots of several different soldiers. The campaign takes you to places like New York City, London and Paris where there are full-blown wars being fought. I personally think that the campaign is very well put together, starting from the first modern warfare. It follows the story line throughout the entire campaign and does a really good job of not boring me during any of it. The story line is during World war II and you are a soldier along with another soldier trying to retrieve the president and his daughter from a terrorist before it is too late. Video link:

Spec Ops

Special Operations or Spec Ops is another very fun part of the game to play. It is a set of fast-paced missions that are meant to challenge you on how strategic you are while playing the game. There are 23 levels of missions to play, which you unlock by completing one mission to unlock another. The difficulty can be set to recruit but as you get further into the missions, they will get harder either way.

My favorite part of Spec Ops is survival, which I generally play with a friend since it is two player. The goal of survival is pretty obvious, it's to survive as long as you can. While playing survival you

go through waves, which in each wave either the other soldiers are harder to kill or there is something added to the wave to make it harder o survive, like attack dogs, helicopters, suicide bombers or even fully suited juggernauts. There are things that you can purchase that can help you survive these like sentry guns, SWAT teams, Delta teams, predator missiles and more. There are many different maps to choose from and my personal favorite to play at is Seatown, which provides you the most cover out of all the other maps. I have survived with up to wave 50 along with a friend and besides it taking forever it was very fun.  Here is some gameplay of Spec Ops:

Multiplayer

Multiplayer is the most played part of the game which is no surprise because thats why most people who own the game bought the game. Multiplayer for me is the best part of the game because you get to play with people all across the world and listen to little kids rage when they get killed. When playing online you have to rank up to unlock more things, like when you level up to a certain rank you unlock a gun for example. When you are fully ranked up you would have unlocked everything possible in online. Also when fully ranked you have the choice to enter prestige mode which resets all your classes and your rank but unlocks emblems and tags for you to show that you have earned you stripes. Online also offers many different game modes to choose from like Team Death-Match, Search and Destroy, Capture the Flag and much more, which my favorite is Team Death-Match. Online has it's pros and cons, for example since the game is fairly old now people still do play it but to them it is getting boring so maybe they want to make it more fun and mod or hack the game. This is fun for them but for the people on the opposite team who might not be able to kill them because they have invincibility on it definitely will not be fun and I'm pretty sure they wont like it. (Luckily Xbox allows you to report people who do hack or Mod).
