Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015 Video Game)

Best Metal Gear yet! (no spoilers)

[10/10 · 3 September 2015]

Once you are dropped into the game, you are treated to beautiful cinematics and mystery. Even if you have played all of the games in the series, there is a lot of mystery and confusion. The game does a great job at revealing its story, and filling the past games' plot holes and "now I know now" moments.

The game-play of The Phantom Pain is more fluent and dense than any other in the series. From the facial animations to the crouch movement, You can clearly see the amazing effort Kojima Productions and Konami had put into this game. All of the good details, graphics, and animations all look perfect in the game's cut-scenes.

In The Phantom Pain, there is no longer the "stealth or guns- blazing" decision making. It is Unexplainable of how many ways you can infiltrate, kill, travel, or anything else (So many choices!). It has the most choices of game-play of any game EVER! Even so that I just can't explain it!

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is easily the BEST stealth oriented game to date, and the most game-play choices of any game in existence! Everybody should buy this game when the chance is given!

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (2014 Video Game)

Not exactly a savior

[1/10 · 14 August 2015]

First of all, the last thing Call of Duty players wanted was a 3rd futuristic game in a row in the Call of Duty series. So let's start the review.

Lets start with the campaign. It's VERY predicable, and has been seen so many times before (especially in Call of Duty). The cool characters(Cormack and Irons) die, while leaving the un-interesting, boring characters for the un-wanted sequel. The campaign is also more of the same, you follow an ally, shoot up the room, then follow him to another room and do the same. Overall, The campaign is like Black ops 2's campaign, but with lame characters, lame missions, and an awful story at best.

Now let's talk about the multi-player. It feels like ever since Modern Warfare 2, they like to use the same formula, but implement in worse every time. A lot of the maps such as Defender, Greenband, Recovery, Solar, and Terrace don't even rely on map design, considering that people just jump over all of the buildings, hallways, entrances etc. It's more of the same, but done a lot worse.

Halo 4 (2012 Video Game)

The very best

[10/10 · 6 June 2015]

Now let me tell ya...Halo 4 is the best halo game to date. It has good multiplayer,campaign, graphics, and co-op too.

The multiplayer is fun and stuff. It has lots of great maps like Longbow and Adrift. The multiplayer has all the game modes any shooter fan would ask for like TDM,FFA,CtF, and even Infection! The multiplayer rarely ever lags and is very stable. The game's customization is better than ever with over 100 sets of armor with thousands of combinations. Halo 4 is also the first Halo game to introduce customizable load-outs in Public matchmaking. If you prefer default load-outs like Halo 3, those game types are still playable. The Forge mode is new and improved with 4 forge maps with hundreds of addable items, blocks, and buildings.

The campaign is more cinematic in Halo 4, the new graphics engine and lighting help it become if not the best looking game to ever come out on the Xbox 360. It has a Very good story with a very good diversity in missions, never letting anything get old.

Halo 4 is the best Halo game and deserves a complete 10 in my opinion!
