Assassin's Creed II

Hello ! Today we are gonna talk about AC II. I know that it is a little late for a review considering that this game appeared in 2009,but it is a game that really deserves to be played. AC II is the first game with Ezio Auditore da Firenze (the main character of AC II, AC Brotherhood and AC Revelations). Ezio was born in a rich family. Until his father and brothers death, Ezio had no worries. He escaped from being killed because his father sent him to deliver some letters. When he arrives home he finds his father office in a completely mess. His maid tells him that his father and brothers were taken prisoners, then, he asks her about his mother and sister (Maria and Claudia). Well, I will stop here with the story because if you have played the game,you know the story and, if you have not, I want you to find out by playing the game.

   The locations

           In AC II you can explore Florence,Venice, Tuscany and Forli. The cities are full of life and color.

   

                                                                                                                                       Secret locations                                                                                             

            In AC II you must colect six keys,each one matching a statue from Ezio s Villa in Monteriggioni. You must collect these keys to unlock the armour of Altair.                                                                                      

             Weapons

                 

            

And of course, the hidden blade          

Guards

Resistance 3

Well, I think this was the hardest game I ever played. It's a story about a man who killed Nathan Hale, the main character of Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2, which has been shot in the head and killed at the end of the previous game.Joseph Capelli is the man who killed Nathan, and this time he is the game's principal character.The action takes place in 1957. There are some human survivors, who turn into cannibals because of the lack of food.

In my opinion, it was a good game ,and also , you can play it in 3D for greater a experience . But, of course, the game has it bad parts too. For example, health is not regenerating like in the first game,Resistance: Fall of Man and you find health pretty hard sometimes.

The graphics are good, especially in single player mode. In cooperative mode, the screen is split in 2 parts, top and bottom, it's not full-screen, which it's a pretty bad thing.







Enemies

             Widowmaker 

                Hybrid

                Goliath

      Feral Chimera

Weapons

Bullseye - It's a rapid Chimeran machine gun and it's one of my favorites




Auger Mark II - It's a good gun an you can see/kill enemies through walls. Though, be careful, Chimera's have this weapon too .




Rosemore 239 Combat Shotgun - It's a very powerful and efficient close range weapon, you can kill very easily enemies,but you need to be close to knock them down.






You will find lots of more weapons in the game.

Assasin's Creed - Revelations

Hello,guys!

So today I am gonna present you AC Revelations. In my opinion this is the best AC game,firstly because of the location, and secondly, because it is the last game with Ezio Auditore da Firenze, the main character of AC II,AC Brotherhood and AC Revelations.The story is set in Constantinople,a city full of life and colour.Here, master Assassin Ezio must unlock the secret of Altaïr's vault in Masyaf using disc-like artifacts containing Altaïr's memories. The story of the game is well done, keeping our curiosity alive. The game begins with Desmond Miles, who fell into a coma after the incidents of the other games.Fortunately , he is saved by his colleagues who put him in a "safe" space in the Animus. In that space he meets Subject 16, who is also blocked there.Well, I am not gonna tell you all the story because I want you to discover it.

The multiplayer version

The game has a multiplayer version,with big spaces for "hunting" your opponents and the characters are very well designed.

Ezio Auditore in Revelations

        As you can see, Ezio looks very diffrent in AC Revelations. His outfit looks...let us say "less italian", but this outfit fits very well with the city of Constantinople. Also, his way of thinkig has changed. For the first time, we can see Ezio wondering about his purpose in life and not about revenge.

    Weapons

      The hook blade is a novelty. It is a perfect weapon because of it s multifunctionality. It can be used as a hook for helping you climbing faster while it is perfectly combined with a hidden blade. Also, it has a beautiful design.

   
   

          The bombs are also a great novelty. In AC Revelations you can create your own bombs by combining a great variety of "ingredients" such as sulfur, lamb blood, gunpowder, pyrite coins etc.

     Constantinople

         The ambience of this city is perfect.The streets are full of life, colour and exoticism and most of the people are very well dresed. The city is influenced by many cultures and it has four districts : Beyazid District, Constantin District, Galata District and the Imperial District . There are also some secret locations.

   Opponents                                                                                                  

Byzantine Templars

The Last of Us - The best game I ever played

Amazing . The Last of Us was the best game released last year, with a story full of emotions. Events will take place in an apocalyptic scenario in which mankind was infected by a mysterious disease. The main characters of the game will be two survivors, Joel, and Ellie, a teenager of 14 years old. The two are forced to fight together for survival through the abandoned cities of the United States.

At the begining of the game, Sarah wakes up on a sofa and hears her father, Joel, talking on the phone to his brother Tommy. Joel sits down on the couch beside his daughter and she gives him a birthday present, a new watch. Her father asks her where did she get the money to buy the present and she said that she bought it with the money she got by selling 'hardcore drugs.' Of coruse, she was joking. She falls asleep while she was watching TV with her father and then Joel carries her back to her room and puts her to bed. Then, the game action starts. In the middle of the night Sarah is awakened because of an urgent phone call from Tommy who was telling to get her dad on the phone. She starts looking through the house for Joel. When she goes down stairs, she saw her dad's phone on the kitchen counter . Then Joel comes into the house from the backyard covered in blood. He says that their neighbor, Jimmy, is "sick" ,and we can see him running to the sliding door and bursting through the glass into the room. He attacks them, and Joel shoots him.Sarah is very scared. Tommy comes in their driveway and they jump in his car. They begin driving out of town to get to safety. You can control Sarah from the back of the car, and you can look through the windows to see what's going on .Then a car crashes into them,Sarah's leg brokes and she can't run/walk anymore. Then Joel is carrying her, while Tommy is protecting them, and they hide in a bar. Tommy tells them to get to the highway. They run, but the Infected are following them. A soldier saves Joel and Sarah, but then he get orders through the radio station to kill them. Sarah got shot in the stomach, but then Tommy appears and he shoots the soldier. Then Sarah dies.

20 years later, Quarantine Zone.

After the civilization radically transformed, infected humans run into the city and survivors kill one another .Then Joel , is hired to look after a fourteen-year-old girl, Ellie, out of a rough military quarantine. It seems a simple job at the begining, but then it turns into a hard journey.

This game has a lot of emotional parts. For me, when Joel was impaled, I really thought that he was going to die and I was so sad, but in the '' Winter '' chapter, I realized he is still alive and that Ellie took him to shelter and take care of him. Then in the cutscene when he got well and started calling for Ellie , and she didn't answer, he immediately started searching for her. I was so happy to see that he is healthy again. Also the most intense moment, was at the end of the game, when Joel was carrying Ellie in his arms , running in the hospital to get rid of the soldiers and escape. I was a little bit sad when the game finished, I just wanted to play more and more. Also, Neil Druckmann has said the studio is “brainstorming some stuff” for The Last Of Us 2 ,although he admits there’s nothing definite yet. Well, I hope soon it will be :)

Crysis 3 - PS3

Graphics

      The graphics in this game are amazing. The details are drawn so good and carefully. Everything looks so real, the rocks, the leafs, water reflections, shadows, characters, etc. I played it on PS3, on a 50 inch (126 cm ) Sharp TV and the image is crystal clear. Stunning.

ACTION


       'Prophet' , the Nanosuit soldier returns to New York with a mission to rediscover humanity and get revenge. The game action takes place in 2047, in New York, which is now covered by a giant dome called Nanodome CELL corporation created to protect residents. Citizens were told that gigantic structures have been revived to protect and clean metropolis Cephei.

The main character, Prophet, realizes that the CELL real reason is not to protect the citizens, the real reason is global domination and obtaining new tehnologies, and then he decides to get revenge. The Nanosuit can switch between one of four modes , all of which are balanced by how quickly they deplete the suit's power reserve. They are as follows:

• Armor 
• Strength 
• Speed 
• Cloak

       The suit will help you a lot and you can find Nanosuit Upgrade Kits.Using those kits , you can upgrade the speed, armor,power,stealth and the system Scan with your Visor often to mark nearby upgrade kits,weapons and enemyes.

ADAPT . ENGAGE . SURVIVE .
