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.

Watch Dogs-Review

 Game Summary:
Watch dogs is an open world action-adventure third-person shooter video game developed and published by Ubisoft. It was released worldwide on May 27th, 2014 for PC and Consoles. It is set within a fictionalized version of Chicago, Illinois. The game is played from a third-person perspective and its world is navigated on-foot or by vehicle.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game Modes:

The single player story follows a hacker and his efforts to seek revenge after the murder of his niece. The open world design lets players freely roam Chicago, which includes the urban city, suburbs, open countryside and the run-down neighborhoods that surround downtown.

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.
