Minecraft Review

I guess with how much time I spend playing it I should review Minecraft finally.

Minecraft is an open world survival/creative based game. In it you are stranded in a strange and unknown world where you must collect resources, food, and build to survive and bring your dreams to reality. In the game there are two modes: Survival where you can be hurt and killed by monsters and hazards and must eat and collect resources to survive(duh); and Creative where you have almost all items given to you and you are invincible and can fly.
One of Minecraft's best qualities is that it is almost constantly updated. Most bugs are quickly eliminated and new features added.

On a scale of 1-10 I give it:

Ease of Play: 7 (While the game lacks a true manual it makes up for it with an easy to use, understand, and very extensive Wiki.)

Graphics: 6 (The game has block based graphics but is still beautiful nonetheless, also new texture packs can be downloaded from many sources and in many styles, I currently am using a Steampunk style. Also the Game is very forgiving on lower graphics cards and on board graphics of newer computers, though you will have to turn your draw distance to small or tiny.)

Replay: 10 (I play this game more than any other game I own. When I "Complete" the world I am in I plan on making a new one since I created the current world before upgrades where made to the generator, also world generator mods can be downloaded as well.)

Family Friendlyness: 9 (Very family friendly. No cursing, blood, and minimal violence. The only problem you might run into is scary nights when the monsters seem to be overly active.)

All in all I give it a 9.

I would highly recommend this game to anyone. No cons so far.

Birthday!

It's my Birthday! No post today. Maybe later in the week.
Just wanted to say that it was my Birthday! 18 WOOOO! I can buy cigarettes(Ick.) now... Or a rifle where i live. The pawn shop my family gets it's ammo from has an AR-15 I have been eying but first I am going to build a computer. Almost have all the parts. I'll post pictures and specs when it is done.

Rage Xbox360 Game Review

Rage is set in post apocalyptic America approximately 160 years in the future. The planet has been devastated by a meteor that has turned at least the U.S. into a wasteland. Your character is an Ark survivor, the Arks were essentially big bunkers where about six people per unit where frozen and all that kinda stuff.

Your character must fight for survival in the wasteland and do jobs to prove his worth and fight the authority.

I found this game to be very very fun entertaining. My only complaint is that while the game is stored on 3 disks it is surprisingly short. The main game can be beaten in under 10 hours easily and is only stored on 2 of the 3 disks. I realize that the most probable reason for the extra disks is that the game has absolutely stunning graphics which understandably take some space, however I expected a much longer campaign and more of a sandbox type experience because Bethesda(Elder Scrolls) was involved in production.

However despite the shortness of the main campaign I still greatly enjoyed the game and can see myself returning to it to beat it on as many difficulties as possible.

On a scale of 1-10 I give it:

Ease of play: 7 (The game does and acceptable job of teaching the player how to play, however I have noticed that FPS games are surprisingly difficult for some people to play. I also did not like that I couldn't bring up a help tab or something for weapons with extra controls, such as sniper zooming, later in the game.)

Graphics: 10 (This is one of the best looking games I have played.)

Replay: 6 (I don't see that much replay in the game other than people wanting to beat it on all difficulties.)

Family Friendliness: 3 (The game is one of the gorier FPS game out, being able to decapitate enemies with the shotgun and wingsticks or blow them to pieces with various weapons makes this game a no no to violence wary families. The game has fairly severe language though not by the main casts, Most cursing will be heard from enemies during firefights or in conversation. No nudity that I noticed so if that is all you are concerned with then you are clear.)

All in all I give it a 8.

I would have given it a 10 but it was just to short to for me, I feel like the end was just cut off.

Over all I would urge anyone who enjoys FPS games to pick this up if they haven't and have fun and I look forward to hopefully seeing a sequel.

...Dynamite crossbow bolts are fun by the way.
