Gears of War 4 review
Written by:Erick Ashe
Reviewed on Xbox One With a new studio taking the captain’s chair for one of the most acclaimed video game trilogies of all time, Gears of War 4 is the first of undoubtably many Gears of War titles to be released within the coming years. But while it markets itself as a supposed, new era for the Gears of War franchise, it doesn’t do enough of what it needed to do to earn that title. Though, it does manage to stay true to its roots while giving us neat additions to familiar modes and play styles. So what we are left with is a familiar yet satisfying entry in this long running series. The campaign is as bombastic and adrenaline fueled as we’ve all come to expect from a Gears game.

The Buzzkill is a heavy duty buzzsaw launcher that can ricochet off walls, and insta kill anyone it comes into contact with. the Overkill provides a short ranged, double barrel shotgun-esque alternative to the traditional Gnasher. Each of these new weapons of mass destruction adds much more variety to the gameplay and allow players to dismember their enemies in new and interesting ways. One of the main aspects of the Gears of War series has been its graphical fidelity, especially when the original was released a full decade ago. Gears of War 4 is no exception. The environments are varied and breathtaking, ranging from a large, mostly abandoned estate, to a cramped ghost town. Facial animations and lip syncing are spot on, making every emotion feel more realistic than ever before. It also helps that the game maintains a steady sixty FPS the whole way through.
While the new antagonists feel a little too similar to the Locust in many ways, they do manage to find ways to differentiate themselves from their Locust predecessors, requiring new strategies to take them down. On the Deebee’s side, the Heavy can jump jet over cover and self destruct when they have taken enough damage. Guardians are flying enemies with a front shield who’s best flanked from multiple angles instead of attacked head on. On the Swarm’s side, the Pouncer fires deadly thorns from its tail, and will
Just know that it looks amazing. I never usually get excited for wing blowing through video game plants, but damn does it look beautiful. This game is definitely at the top of the list of games that I will buy when it comes out at the end of the year (maybe?).
It makes me feel like that because you are protecting somebody or trying to protect someone from trying to kill them. I also like the game because the graphics are good and you once you complete one mission, there is another one for you to do directly after.

Imagine the fun of going skydiving with your closest friends and your two brothers and landing on some random island. Now imagine that you are captured by the drug-dealing pirates that are slowly taking control of the island, and their leader kills your brother in front of you. You are now left with a choice: join the Rakyat, the warrior tribe that inhabits the island, and become a cold-blooded killer entranced by the insanity that characterizes the island, or die at the hands of your brother 's killer. This is the ultimatum put before Jason, the main character of Far Cry 3, the popular and highly rated game of 2012 developed by Ubisoft. The game establishes a sense of insanity through the use of the character 's strong emotions and the symbolism of characters present through the whole game.
Before I even begin to clarify what is widely-known by everyone on planet Earth besides Bill Russell and Randy Horick, I must ask, if you reading this has ever watched a women’s basketball game? Doesn’t count when you pass a game on T.V. when channel surfing or going to a game because a relative/friend asked you to. No, I mean from tip off to the final whistle out of pure entertainment.... Of course you haven’t because rarely anyone does! If you have I hope you feel unique because you belong the 1% of the population that does.
Over all Call of Duty has had an extremely successful career, but if they continue on the path they are on they are in store for a bitter end. If Activision needs an example of a game to follow they need to look back on previous successes they have had, and also they must utilize the "K.I.S.S." method not everything has to be a complex, fancy, and flashy. Modern Warfare 2 Embodies all of the necessary qualities of a exemplary
The evolution of the gaming world continues to strive for further evolvement by expanding the way games are experienced. From the beginning with the start of a game that just depicted a story in words, to changing the way games can be controlled by gamers, we see them evolve even in story concepts.

Guilty Gear 2 is an Xbox360 exclusive real-time strategy action game in the vein of Dynasty Warriors.

Dead Space 2 is an amazing game. I'm going to write about its scary moments, cool kills, and how much I dig the main character's internal struggle, but Dead Space 2 is about more than this. When I beat it for the first time, I sat on the couch with my heart racing and dissected the journey I had just taken. Then, I started my second playthrough, and when that was done, I jumped into a new game for the third time. Dead Space 2 is just that good.
What makes Terraria stand out as an exceptional game is how the developers fit a ton of gameplay
I have always been good at Gears of War 4. But I have been trying to get better at it. And I think the things I do will make me get better at other games, and becoming better at teamwork and cooperation. These are a few examples of how GoW ( Gears of War) has made my life and my gaming skills better.
The last of us is a PS3 video game, in which the producers (Naughty dog) present a real life post-apocalypse that you will guide through as a child and as an adult. These two characters have a hard life with nothing but utter despair around them. This can easily be genuinely considered the greatest game of its type. The world has been destroyed by a virus that took over the whole world overnight and swept the nation leading to a land of hopelessness and a real life hell. No other game has this combination of the face paced action mixed with an excellent story line that will keep you wanting more. The story is dangerous and unpredictable. From start to finish the entire experience is truly remarkable. It is easy to lose yourself in the pandemic ridden United States and once you start the ability to quit will be beyond your reach. Forget all the chores or homework or even eating
The first game of theirs that I was exposed to was Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, the 5th game in the Uncharted series. The realistic approach instantly hooked me. Not only were the character models realistic, but they acted like real people too. Like movies, there is a director, but games can have two specific directors: a technical director, whose focus is gameplay, and the creative director, who focuses on the story. Unlike movies, multiple directors need to work together to blend the story and gameplay to keep players engaged. One of Naughty Dog’s most popular games, and possibly my favorite game, The Last of Us is a perfect blend of story and gameplay. The Last of Us fits into the survival horror genre in a zombie apocalypse scenario, limiting the player’s resources to fight and defend themselves which works effectively within the story. It develops every character thoroughly, even minor ones, as well as their relationships with one another. Gameplay and story work together to explain why the world they live in is so brutal, and why characters work so hard to
Not zombies, but baby zombies give us chill. Their cute appearance cannot hide the fact of how incredibly deadly they are. At the first time seeing one, you might not think them that scary. Nevertheless, in fact, these tiny creatures are dangerous in a morbid way – they are extremely quick and murderous.
