A Gaming Blog, Fall 2010

well, a couple months have passed since the last entry and I haven't felt like writing at all, but gaming has seen a few interesting releases (mostly big names) and I wanted to do a brief comments on a couple of them.

First of all we have Halo Reach; that was released 2 months ago so many people have had the time to enjoy it and make their own minds, to me the game was a pretty good and solid one, it had as many features as you can geta ll in the high quality fashion Halo has get me used to, the gameplay is the final refinement of top notch mechanics and the presentation was a good standard for this generation, I enjoyed the single player specially the A.I. which made the game pretty fascinating and challenged me in interesting ways no cheap tricks just tactics, the MP component for this game seemed a step forward in many ways, o me, it was good enough and I enjoyed as much as I can, playing with friends the bad thing came when my friends moved to the next games and well I haven't felt like playing Halo on my own, still pretty recomendable and with enough content to make you smile. Solid 9!

Medal of Honor, ahm what can I say maybe dissapointment? Don't know how to begin to explain it, first of all presentation wise is a good game, it has great audio and good graphics, but I feel like I have to od as the developers and part the review in single and multiplayer, the campaign was the best thing in the whole package, it lacked a mildly realistic story in a highly realistic enviroment, and great things, although short it was interesting and amusing, I enjoyed far more tan that of Modern Warfare and bad company games. The other side is the Multiplayer which had me with great expectations, becausei t was developed by DICE (Battlefield series) the game was a dumbed down battlefield-like game, with a call of dutyesque twist, which made it….a not so handsome mix, it took camping as the most annoying level, unbalanced weapons, and weird game modes, on the good side you have; the maps which seemed solid, and a few rewarding experiences, I never had such a hard time learning any multiplayer. 7 is the score.

Fallout New Vegas, the worst first impression I've had in this year, at the beginning I wasl ike, where is my vault, my G.O.A.T, my overseer! Why the HUD and PipBoy are exactly the same!!! Am I playing the same game? Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games, but I didn't knew if I could stand the same game again, so I was doubtful tos ay the least wheter or not give New Vegas the chance, so I played it with little interest, and doubt if I was going to be able to finish this game, I was like uhm…right, meh, stuff liek that until I started a misiĆ³n in the REPCONN facility which picked my interest with the weird and out of place ghouls, from there on everything was amazing I was into this game as much as I was in Fallout 3, the NCR, the Legion, Helios 1, vault 22, everything rocked so hard I had a blast, I was 20 hoursi nto theg ame and hadn't set foot on New Vegas, so I played this game a bit more tan Fallout 3, and as son as I was done, I re started on Hardcore (you need hydratation, food and sleep, ammo has weight and stimpaks are not as effective) the only 2 issues I have with this game are, that the music was superior in Fallout 3, and the loading time to get to some places, like you appear outside of New Vegas Strip, and you have to enter a door wait for the loading, enter the common area walk to theluck 38 wait for the load, talk to victor to use the elevator and another loading time….so that makes changing equipment too long. Great 9.5.And the space suit gets a 10

NBA 2k11. The best sports game you have ever seen. 10 (at least is a 10 for a sports game)

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, so this game just came out a couple days ago so I have hardly play it, the MP so far seems solid, although I'm eager to unlock the hardcore wanted gamelist (which turns radars off) and the SP isa ll you can expect for a sequel to Assassin's Creed II, Ezio seems as awesome, Rome is the biggest playground of the series, and I have yet to see what happens, oh and Desmond seems like a mix between an asssassin and Sam Fisher. I will rate when I finish it.

Other games Ithat were release lately that I would like top lay are Fable III and Call of Duty Black Ops, but I got what I wanted the most. And in 2010 my 3 favorite games for this console had it's sequels, Mass Effect 2, delivered, fallout New Vegas expanded the wasteland and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood seem to go a great way!
