CS:GO - First Impressions and Video

"OK, Lets GO"
I've recently been gifted the latest instalment in the famous n00bshooter Counter-strike, Having only played a few rounds I thought I would give my initial thoughts and feelings and also present you guys with a little video of what its like.

Although that may be the problem, if any of you have actually played a counterstrike game you will be right at home here. Why you ask?

It's pretty much the SAME GAME it's always been, and this isn't necessarily a criticism but so far I have been able to find one new game mechanic, apart from a small tazer zappy gun that now replaces knife rounds. (Don't taze me BRO). 

Wait a minute...
 Now this isn't me saying I don't like it, but I think me and a host of other fans were looking for something a little more modern, perhaps some new maps and some game play or animation refinements rather then just a few tweaks to the visuals and some guns like the Bizon. We still have the same old stiff hands while holding your weapon and the hostages still stand around like lemmings when the person leading them to safety dies.

"Hey, we'll you slow down and possibly get caught behind a corner or sumthin', LETS GO"

Anyways, enough babbling check it out for yourselves and watch me suck really quite hard.


 So to close out, I feel that overall this isn't offensive to what came before In fact it almost seems that It's too afraid to change from what they know already works. There was a lot of potential for making this game a blockbuster, one to burn out the fire of respawn happy games like Call of Duty and Battlefield but at the moment its more of a homage and graphical update to the game they made in 2004.

Here's looking to the updates to give us veterans (even if they do suck at it right now) a new map or mode that isnt Gungame.

Catwoman Challenge Maps: Blind Justice

Hey guys, I promised this blog a video and thought it was high time I put myself through It.

"LETS DO THIS"
So here it is, seeing as my blog feed has been rife with homages and reviews of Batmans on and off gurlfriend Catwoman I decided to play a bit of Arkham City, If this game isnt on your shelf, It NEEDS to be. You will not be dissapointed with much in this the game, the combat mechanics are swift and easy to learn, with enough strategy to keep those combo fiends in check. While also delivering one of the truest batman experiences I've been able to find in a while. From the voice acting talents of my main man Mark Hamill returning as his iconic Joker character to the bassy tones of Kevin Conroy this game has it all from the look to the feel to the sound. Truely its worth the investment



Here I play the Challenge map Blind Justice the first unlockable mission. How well do I do? Take a look.

 

Comment and let me know what you think I plan to do a few more. Maybe making them around the 10 minute mark.

League of Legends: Pwnage Update #3 Flawless Victory

Hey guys, Its been a while since I posted my usual prattle on the Free to Play game League of Legends, while last time I promised more videos, personal commitment issues have meant that thus far the only recording of a game I got ended in it cutting out halfway through. (>.<)
Rengar
Diana

 So there has been two major updates recently, one being the release of Diana the Scorn of the Moon and Rengar the Pridestalker.  Both in my opinon excellent champions and I absolutely love the nods to the Predator films with the champion design of Rengar.(Infared vision, Stealth, Strikes from the jungle and Trophy collections). Meaning there will be alot of "GET TO DE CHOPPAH" quotes from myself while playing as him.


Look at Rengar's alternate skin and tell me it doesnt scream Predator the moment you look at him, remember if it bleeds. we can kill it.


So anyway on with the update.

 Here instead is a quickly editted JPEG showing off my 100% win ratio in the past week or so :D


Knowing this game I'm sure I'll get put with a gimp team in my next match, but until then It's getting posted up here to be recorded for the rest of time.

I WILL TRY AND RECORD SOMETHING LATER, theres been alot of talk about DC's Catwoman on various peoples blogs lately so maybe I'll jump on Arkham City and record some Challenge Maps.
