Nox an obscure diablo-like from westwood studios

It's not bad at all and is quite enjoyable. The graphics are pleasant and in game physics are fun. Throwing a fireball at a table with chairs send them flying. It's a nice touch and mechanic that is used constantly.  
 
There are  three classes are distinct and fun in their own way. I'm playing a wizard and throwing fireballs like no ones business. The conjurer can use bows and control animals. Finally the warrior's well a warrior with abilities like charge and such.
 
The story is that you're a guy in a trailer yard watching TV when a lighting bolt strikes sending you into another fantasy dimension. You are the chosen one you must save our world and you know the drill. There's a necromancer that you have to stop and the story starts from there.  
 
The world feels vibrant with contant traps and treasures to be found. It kind of sacres me how many secrets I found so far. 
 
Not many people know about it and heck I stumbled upon it from a news site. It really is such a nice action-adventure hack and slash.
 
Well since westwood studios doesn't really exist anymore making this game abandonware well...  
 
YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT!

Farcry 2 is a strange beast but a beautiful beast

I was coming into Farcry 2 from crysis and man was that crazy. Now from all the twists and insanity crysis showed me I expected much the same from farcry 2. 
 
Instead of a madcap shooter like crysis I got a gun totting simulation of africa and the climate instead. At first I was perplexed at it all. Guns breakdown and disease is rampant. Ammo is limited and you got to drive everwhere and I mean EVERYWHERE! 
 
Of course this is a two sided blade with one side showing the ABSOLUTE BEAUTY of the Serengeti and the other the pure AGONY of getting to point A to point B. Armed soldier camps do not help one bit and they NEVER STOP SHOOTING AT ME. 
 
There are stealth mechanics that are very satisfying. There is no other feeling like sneaking through the African bush underneath a full moon with a sniper rifle taking out targets. Ammo is limited so shots have to count and weapons degrade over time so you gotta run all the way back to your little hideouts and get new ones. 
 
The ammo things I can understand but having to go ALL THE WAY BACK TO GET A NEW GUN. What are they made out of anyways TISSUE PAPER? 
 
Then again the games fire just blew me away with its realistic spreading and fanning. At one point all I did was run around burning things and pretty much just try to set the world on FIRE. 
  
Africa isn't the same without jeeps and some how I ran over a gazelle and zebra by accident.Then I ran over some other people by accident. Then ran over some more stuff by accident. Vehicles are fun in this game due to how much stuff you can run over. Do I have a problem? 
 
I need a break yeesh. 
 
Also boats are involved but on rivers are docks full of enemy troops so you gotta zoom on by but then they get into their own boats and shoot at you so then your boat explodes and you gotta swim to shore and shoot them hopefully. 
 
As you can see boat aren't that much fun as jeeps but nonetheless the rivers are quite pretty though. 
 
Health was a 5 tiered system which is innovative in that area except in huge firefights my guy is shooting so many syringes up his arm its like I'm a CRACKHEAD. 
 
YO DOG GIMME SOME HEALTHKITS I NEED MAH FIX FOR REALS YO. That's a low blow farcry 2 why you gotta put africa in the open like that. Well it is a simulation so I NEED MAH HEALTH KITS YO. 
 
Farcry 2 is a divisive game that you will either love or hate. Personally I just love the fire they should of just made a entire game around that shoot. 
 
Stay Cool

Crysis is OK and that's about it really

 A long time ago there was a game called crysis and people said how amazing it is. When in really it's quite fine and possibly AVERAGE. 
 
The only good thing was the graphics for it's time and even today is still amazing. I could stare into the ocean for hours and at bushes and stuff. It was so nice they should of called it staring at stuff the VIDEO GAME. 
 
Also a nice gimmick was that your suit has powers like super speed super punch and super jump and invisibility. There's nothing like going invisible and super punching north koreans off cliffs.
 
All these things are wonderful except for one glaring problem in crysis.
 
THE STORY
 
Now FPS's aren't looking for some Shakespearean bullshit to be based around and crysis is just that. It's a run and gunner and that's perfectly fine 
 
but this shit is silly yo
 
North koreans are doing north koreany stuff trying to destroy AMURICA and you aint having none of that.  So they then chuck your dumb robo butt out into a beautiful Hawaiian knock off and all hell breaks loose as usual.  You then go through some bases and blow stuff up.
 
Then halfway through they pull a M night shamalan TWEEST that will just KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF. 
 
Wheres all the north koreans? I want to keep super punching north koreans where are they? 
 
UH OH HERE COMES THE ALIENS THAT SHOOT FREEZER LAZERS. Mr freeze eat your heart out cause you'll probably have a heart attack after this junk. 
 
Apparently the aliens are trying to suck all the energy from the earth to power their mothership. 
 
Yup you heard me THEY WANT TO SUCK ALL THE ENERGY HEAT FROM THE EARTH LIKE A CHEAP HOOKER TURNING IT INTO ONE OF THE BIGGEST SHITTIEST SNOWGLOBE YOU EVER SEEN.
 
Shamalan you got some competition oh god this is Pulitzer material I need a new pair of pants. Actually this is so god damn silly ITS PERFECT FOR A RUN AND GUN SHOOTER!
 
The gunning is fine and gets the job done along with your super powers make for good gameplay but honestly I never had that many times to use them. If things get rough I'd invisible away and that was the only personally useful power I could find. The only times to use super jump was to just progress the story and super speed was just to get around and junk. There's also super shields but thats just the halo healing power that default.
 
You could super punch everybody but you'd get shot and never use the guns. You can also just super run by everybody and say screw it. 
 
The super powers barely factor into the gameplay and the energy system doesn't help that much except for super throwing shit at people. 
 
GOD I LOVE  SUPER THROWING SHIT AT PEOPLE. It's pretty much a almost one hit kill and makes some enemies so goddamn silly easy like the enemy commandos. 
 
Then again here comes the freezer aliens and you can barley throw stuff at them.
 
Oh no the island is now full of frosty snow wheres my tropical paradise devs please kill me in mah sleep hugs and kisses sincerely da player. 
 
Also you get a gun that shoots nukes so I really shouldn't take this shit so seriously but none the less FREEZER LAZERS! Also Crysis 2 is coming out and shit's going to get EVEN MORE SILLIER.
 
Stay cool LITERALLY!

Area 51 is so bad I need to warn you guys

It's not Deadly premonition wacky funny bad no it's god damn friggan terible bad man. 
 
My dumb bro picked it up from the bargin bin and I said WHY DO YOU THINK IT's IN THE BARGIN BIN??? Needless to say I had to see how terrible it is and what I say was worse than any B movie in existence. 
 
You're some dumb FBI agent guy or some junk and you got called into AREA 51 oh what could go wrong in that dreadful place. You arrive and all hell breaks loose as usual and mutants are running loose. 
 
The shootings mediocre and the enemies are the same THROUGHOUT THE GAME. Christ devs you could of at least TRIED. 
 
Anyways you shoot stuff then OH NO THE ELEVATORS BRAKES DOWN and you fall down deep into these god forsaken rooms they call a base. 
 
The first half is shitty scare tactics bullcrap for example go collect that keycard soldier in that corner. What do you mean there could be monsters OH JESUS THE LIGHTS ARE BLINKING AND MONSTERS ARE POPPING OUT. 
 
My only friend in the game was the shotgun but even then in the first half they try to give you a buddy like any horrible movie but guess what. OH NO I AM INFECTED IM TURNING INTO A MONSTER KILL MEEEE RAR RAR RAR. 
 
Like I said the shotgun was my only friend now oh jesus hold me shotty. 
 
The second half is just same old running and gunning with a gimmick that you can turn into a monster and thats about it. There was one funny part that you're in a studio with the moon lander so that tickled my funny bone and THATS IT. 
 
 Also you attack the aliens homeworld and it is the most hellish freaking place not due to the world itself but how BADLY DESIGNED IT IS WOULD IT KILL YOU TO GIVE ME A HEALTH PACK? Oh damn I'm getting flashbacks to this one boss fight where I had almost no health due to how shitty aliens are. Well anyways theres a psychic aliens that throws mind balls at you and spawn mutant aliens soldiers this is so damn terrible I'm sorry for typing this out. 
 
Needless to say I got repeatedly RAPED LIKE AN APE oh jesus. The only way I got through that was by cheesing the whole fight and how would you ask? 
 
BY CROUCHING IN THE CORNER WITH A PISTOL SHOOTING LIKE CRAZY. The soldiers A.I. is so terrible they rarely can shoot you and the alien just throws balls at a pillar. That experience was so nasty I wanted to pass out but there was MORE. It turns out there are good aliens and bad aliens and there's a civil war going on and IT WAS PROPHESIED YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE. 
 
This is so horrible why can't I put the controller down oh god forgive me lord.  
 
You then go back to earth and fight underneath AREA 51 to the CENTER OF THE EARTH to fight the alien mothership thats going to destroy the earth. 
 
What? excuse me? Could you repeat that? YOU HEARD ME SUCKA GET TO WORK. 
 
You then go jump through some hoops and shoot the powercore and safe the earth and the galaxy. The good aliens then drop your dumb ass off on the highway near the destroyed area 51 and oh my goodness right next to area 51 is a cornfield. What's this OH THE ALIENS WROTE SOME JUNK ON THE CORN OH MAH GAWD I WANNA BELIEVE. 
 
Well after playing this pile of junk I don't believe in JACK SHIT except aliens are ASSHOLES!

The Bouncy ball gun of explosions RULE and is the only good thing about this game.

They say peter molyneux is insane but I think he's alright

I recently played dungeon keeper 2 since it's according to the internet abandonware but like all things it's stuck in a grey area. 
 
It's pretty cool with building homes for your monsters and making them do stuff and building your lair and junk. I mean its not fantastic but its still a good game. Sure it tries to punch you in the dick a lot of times but it's a good pain when you finally beat them. I pretty much cheesed it though so oh well still good. 
 
Also played black and white too since why not shoot. Old petey boy got this god thing down with spells and grabbing junk. God I love throwing stuff and hitting things with them or lighting stuff on FIRE THEN THROWING THEM OH YES. You also got a little monster avatar thing but for the most part all they do is eat people and shit all the times and throw fireballs but you can smack that junk out of them though heh.  
 
Also monster avatar fights are BRUTAL and the in fight heal spell is so deliciously Overpowered when you teach your monster it.
 
At times with both games it can be tedious but are unique in their own right. The problem is the man overhypes them to BIBLICAL LEVELS  when in reality they're just moderately delightful. 
 
Stay Cool like a Fool in a Frozen Pool.

Oblivion is so dang horrible compared to morrowind

I always hear people go on and on about how great oblivion is. Problem is that they play the game with mods that would make a guy throw up in disgust and terror. 
 
I remember stepping off the boat in morrowind and seeing a whole town to jump start my adventure. In oblivion I escape some dumb prison and go through the sewers to some stupid lake and a island. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO? 
 
Oh no the king got shanked you must avenge him. what a great way of starting the game BY SHOVING IT IN YOUR FACE. I'm traumatized from watching this geezer CROAK and now I gotta avenge him? THANKS GRANDPA.
 
There are supposed to be classes like clay you mold them into your own image but GOD FORBID YOU MESS UP and in the end you get some nasty muddy puddle of a character that can't fight for jack. 
 
Assassins are quite literally ASSASSins in fights. After 20 hours of gaming in utter DISGUST I made a battle mage. Then things started dying left and right and I wanted to PUNCH MY SELF IN THE BALLS for choosing a stealth class you WORTHLESS BABOONS. 
 
They even made a big deal how you hide in the shadows and strike without warning killing your foes instantly.  
 
LIES 
 
In reality you only do 6 times as much damage and even then it only takes away about half their health like I said PUNCH IN THE DICK. 
 
The world I so terrible and bland I want to barf I mean HOW MANY FREAKING TREES DO YOU NEED MAN. In morrowind there were tons of different areas from plains to swamps to ashlands. Here guess what I see. 
 
TREES AS FAR AS MY BUTT CAN SEE. Oh no your over exaggerating man theres not that many trees bro calm down dude. BUT THERE IS AND THEY'RE ALL THE SAME. 
Oh look autumn trees  oh look summer trees oooooh spring trees  
 
WHAT NO WINTER TREES BE RIGHT BACK KILLIN MY SELF OH GOOD LORD NO. 
 
It doesn't help that the world it self is just as horrible as the environment. Fighters guild quest were boring mages guild were bland the only COOL THING in the game was the black hand. They should of just made a entire game out of that freaking line. In morrowind there were so many factions that had meaning place in the world like the imperials and the cults with little quests peppered through out the world it was great stumbling into them. 
 
But in oblivions I want to rip off my foot and KICK MY SELF IN THE FACE with it stupid fast travel system. oh man I gotta walk to everywhere through all the forsaken trees oh jesus no.  
 
Problem after wards is that after you find everywhere THERES NO PURPOSE OF SEEING ALL THE HARD WORK THE SHITTY DEVS PUT INTO THE WORLD. Everythings a loading screen and that is tragic. 
 
In morrowind it was perfect with the silt riders. The riders take you to the town and from the towns you go to your destinations or explore. 
 
The riders took you close but not quite there so you had to walk and ENJOY THE FREAKING WORLD. The towns were a kind a hub to go explore from and travel around it was great. 
 
BUT WHAT DID THEY DO OH NO LETS THROW OUT THIS GREAT TRAVEL SYSTEM AND MAKE THE PLAYER TELEPORT LIKE A GODDAMN GENIE. 
 
People say that oblivion is better but personally speaking morrowind had more soul put into it than oblivion sorely lacks and YOU CAN't EVEN LEVITATE AND FLY IN OBLIVION SCREW YOU BETHESDA. 
 
Of course since Bethesda can't make a game worth jack they release the SDK so people can fill in the cracks so that cool of them.  
 
The main quest is so terrible man. GO find this guy and do some dumb junk to find the other guy! 
 
Don't get me started on the stupid oblivion gates with towers THAT ARE THE SAME FUCKING TOWER. Or the dungeons THAT ARE THE SAME FUCKING DUNGEONS. 
 
They don't even mix them up ARE THEY THAT LAZY? Some of the quests are so dumb. 
 
Oh no my husband is lost while painting a picture boo hoo I'm going to cut my wrists be right back. I go into the dumb painting and it's full of trolls. 
 
WHY IS IT FULL OF TROLLS? even worse I can't kill them for jack BECAUSE I PICKED A ASSASSIN THAT HAS NO FIRE MAGIC TO KILL THE TROLLS. 
 
I run past them all cheesing the whole thing and find the guy and leave. What a goddamn disaster. 
 
At least Fallout 3 is a little better.

As always Stay cool

I'm pretty sick of pokemon

It's more of a cult now than a franchise. It's great that 10 year olds are playing it but I mean 20-30 year old man children playing it just freaks me out. 
 
What the hell are you doing leveling up pikachus yeesh. DO THEY EVEN HAVE PIKACHUS IN THE NEW GAMES EVEN?! 
 
Thats what I thought and thats why they're a bunch of bull honky games. 
 
It's been YEARS since I last played a pokemon game and I look at it today and its STILL THE DANG SAME.Wheres the innovation WHERES THE STREAMLINING? Oh no god forbid someone change anything from my precious POKEMONS. 
  
I remember watching Jeff and Ryan go through ruby red on the DS and it was just GOD AWFUL. All they did was make everything 3D except the DANG POKEMON THEMSELVES ARE YOU ON CRACK NINTENDO!? 
 
They're not even fun oh boy turn based battles hope my pokeyman DOESNT DIE THE NEXT TURN NINTENDO. 
 
I mean how can you blame them "if it aint broke don't fix it right"? Well what if it's in a grey world between the fixed and the broken EXPLAIN THAT NINTENDO! 
 
Maybe it's just me I grew up and look for more meaningful experiences but I see the man children and I want to cry not tears of pity but tears of RAGE. 
 
They made a big deal of 151 pokemons but now theres like a THOUSAND POKEMONS. How the hell am I suppose to catch that many monsters?  
 
HOW NINTENDO HOW DO I CATCH THAT MANY POKEYMANS. Maybe thats why there are so many man children cause they keep on trying to catch them all but THEY KEEP MAKING MORE. 
 
These man children are trapped in a net made by nintendo a net made of POKEMONS DAMN YOU NINTENDO LET THE MAN CHILDREN GO! 
  
In short pokemon in essence is a shallow game created for casual poke encounters for children and quite possibly man children. 
 
STAY COOL!

Why I think deus ex is a great game

I've always hear how great deus ex is I mean if a a ton of people can't shut up about it for years then I has to be good. 
 
Finally I got around to playing it and I was shocked at how ancient and clunky it is. I did the first mission at liberty island then couldn't take it anymore. I forgot it for month thinking those people were insane. Finally I decided to give it another go and see how far I could go. 
 
What I found was one of the most immersive thought out game I've ever played in my life. 
 
Every skill is useful in game and has a purpose except for some.IM LOOKING AT YOU SWIMMING. The more points in rifles means more quickly aimed shots and more damage from bullets. Also with the power of nano augmentation J.C. has many powers at his disposal. Regeneration is so overpowered J.C. becomes a TINY GOD. 
 
Where you shoot your enemy has outcomes for example damaging their arm enough makes then drop their weapon. A headshot is mostly a instant kill but it works both ways so watch out for snipers. I learned that the hard way... 
 
Like all stories they're slow in the beginning as you are gathering your senses. This is what put me off at first with the tedious beginning but as you progress the plot quickly thickens. There are so many places that you visit that has purpose with the story. From france to china J.C. denton must have a HELL OF ALOT OF FLYER MILES.  
 
There are so many unique characters that it makes the world feel alive and some of them sound hilariously terrible. Who can ever forget hermanns classic I VANTED OHRAHNGE vut it gave me lemon lime...
 
Another aspect is all the different ways of tackling areas. You could sneak through the vents or whip our your rocket launcher for some fun. Course with all these weapons and abilities I liked to sneak around the vents with a rocket launcher GIBBING MY FOES FROM THE SHADOWS! To be honest there is no better embodiment of death than the DRAGONS TOOTH SWORD. Any swing with this is pretty much a instant kill and is silent to boot.  
 
I used that thing so many times I was like some CYBERPUNK DYSTOPIAN SAMURAI NINJA.
 
Also all actions have consequences but needless to say deus ex goes far beyond the extraordinary in this aspect. Killing or saving people can alter reactions to them with far reaching consequences.
 
Deus ex's most strongest part is the story and to be honest I'm not going to spoil it so YOU JUST GOTTA FIND OUT FOR YOUR SELF! 
 
As always stay cool.

Why I think Borderlands is a terrible game

They said it was going to be like diablo with guns. It was nothing like diablo with guns. Just a shallow kiddy pool of a game with vague rpg elements. 
 
The billions of guns were just a couple with just a view people would really use. There were no randomized areas so things got bland quickly. I remembered that some guy said it was going to be put in then bam nothing.  
 
Maybe instead of working on brand new graphics they should of paid attention to the gameplay.
 
In diablo there were characters with distinct abilities and weapons. Borderlands characters only have one power and thats it. Wait what about specializations and what not. Well good luck with that when the only thing people can do is shoot stuff I mean where's the diversity.  
 
Oh no that guy can use a turret and the chick can turn invisible and the other guy punches stuff and what about that guy that throws birds. Thats it thats all they freaking do no variety of abilities. They could of at least made each class use only their preferred weapons like give the rocket launchers only to the rocket guy. Noooo that would mean he'd be unique and have a PURPOSE. 
  
The only thing rpg about this is the dang levels and even then its just a excuse to grind. 
 
The vehicle elements are so god dang awful I want to throw up. You're driving and oh man I accidentally scraped the wall i'll just tur- OH MAN NOW IM PERPENDICULAR TO THE DANG WALL. why would I scrape off the edge is the very laws of physics on pandora this stupid. It does not even help that vehicles are about 50% of the freaking game WHY WOULD THEY MAKE A GAME LIKE THIS ARE THEY HIGH????!?  
 
 The enemies take too long to freaking kill. I played a dang turret guy and it took FOREVER to kill stuff but I see videos of the chick MOWING THEM LIKE THE LAWN. Oh no sorry developers my bad for pick the support class that is useless compared to the chick. What biting COMMENTARY ABOUT SOCIETY. I need a bucket to chuck in. 
 
I'm not even gonna talk about the ending the PUNCH TO THE FACE IT IS. Not the mention the dlc for this train wreck. it's like putting a hat on a dead horse STOP RUINING HATS!  
 
There is way too much stupid junk about this pile I can't even think straight. Stay cool fools.
