Game Review #10 - A Game of Thrones: Iron From Ice - Telltale Games Month



Platform: Xbox One
Store Page: Xbox One Store
Price I Paid: £2.49

We're onto the final week of Telltale Games month and what better way to finish it off than with a game I bought because it was cheap and realised why it was so cheap. Like usual for Telltale games: SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS.

Game of Thrones: Iron from Ice is the first episodic installment of the new Telltale Game of Thrones game series. Much like Tales from the Borderlands, Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us, this game is cell shaded and follows through on the choices you make. While you might be sick of the same cut and paste formula right now, Game of Thrones adds something new to the mix.

You have three characters to play as. We have Ethan, who is now the head of House Forrester. Garred, who was a servant to Lord Gregor Forrester and then we have Mira Forrester, who is in some sort of pickle with the future Queen and a short bloke with a beard, I think his name was Tyrian Lanister. Because it wouldn't be a Game of Thrones game without throwing in characters from the TV show to try and throw the canon of the show away.

Now, I must admit, I'm one of the people who doesn't like Game of Thrones, I'm sure it's very good, but I'm more of a comedy type person, not a beheading simulator with a Frodo Baggins lookalike from Lord of the Rings. I'm not saying the show is bad, I just couldn't get into it.

Garred is told to fetch more wine, even though all of the soldiers are getting drunk when there's a surprise attack, you have to quick time event and button mash your way out of that predicament and take a blokes sword when he dies. A touching scene, I'm sure. The one thing that bugged me about this bit was the fact that you had the choice to save him yet he doesn't bother coming with you anyways and makes his mind up there. That was the problem Walking Dead S2 had, choices that didn't matter or had little to no effect on the gameplay.

You're then switched over to Lord Ethan, a twelve year old boy that has now inherited House Forrester because his father was the bloke that refused to have his life saved after one too many arrows in the knee. But he has a lot of decisions to make, which was surprisingly enjoyable. I like simulators where I have to choose which is better for who, while there's always a negative, it's why I liked the Rebuild games so much, man if anything happens to this character then I wont be too happy. (foreshadowing)

Finally, we switch over to the other one, I can't remember her name. It's a bloody forgettable game and name. I'm not even going to bother mentioning it, the only part I can remember of her story is that Tyrian Lannister is there or whatever his name is.

Cell shaded graphics, the same concept as all the other games, you do get sick of playing the same game concept but with different slash of characters. Not to mention the forgettable storyline, the re-cast of many characters from the TV show for wow factor and the fact the most interesting character gets killed off...

Gaming News 23/04/15 - Steam Workshop Update, Bloodbath Kavkaz and more!

So, I think it was about ten days ago I ran out of things to do so I started posting news if there was any, there is a lot going on in gaming right now. For starters, the Steam Workshop has received an update, wherein people can sell their mods to the community for anywhere between a couple pennies to a few pounds. While it's nice to see creators get paid for their work, this is literally just a giant DLC store. It's nice to see that people will get paid for their work, but is this honestly the best way of doing it? By doing this, you're creating a mass amount of DLC, not to mention if it catches onto other games such as Garry's Mod and Civilization V, the workshop may not "work" at all. They're literally putting the "shop" portion of "workshop" into effect here.



In other news, EA are buggering up Star Wars Battlefront 3 as much as possible which has created a sort of uprising within the community. Due to the huge lack of features, including no Galactic Conquest and quite literally having Dice give no comment on the feature of AI Bots, things aren't looking good for Battlefront 3. Why get Battlefront 3 when Battlefront 2 is available on Steam at a much better price?



Some smaller news now, the Xbox game Project Spark is getting some DLC which will feature Conkers Bad Fur Day related items. That's great, I guess, I haven't used much of Project Spark, but you know what would be better? Conkers Bad Fur Day 2. In other Xbox One related news, Halo 3: ODST remastered comes out sometime in May. Anyone who played the game before December 17th get's the game for free as an apology from 343 Studios because of the rocky launch, but the rest of us have to pay for it, even though the game is still a buggy mess.



Hotline Miami clone came out too, I guess it's worth mentioning because of the sheer disrespect the developer provided to the community after some negative reviews came up and people questioned the copy/pasting that seemed to happen with this game and Hotline Miami. There's a difference between blatantly copying a game and making it worse and being inspired by something. The game originally had "Hotline" in the title, so that just tells you how much original concept has gone into the game.

Just a quick heads up, I watched Ray's past streams on Twitch, they're fantastic, I definitely recommend you go watch his streams. Game review tomorrow!

Mini Reviews #3 - The Simpsons Tapped Out


Platform: iOS/Android devices (bugger off Windows)
Store Page
Price I Paid: Free! Like everyone else.

I like the Simpsons, I used to be a huge fan of it, I still am, I might watch it if it's on and I have nothing else to do, but other than that I barely watch it. I used to be an avid fan and player of this game, the key term in these past few sentences has been "used to".

The Simpsons Tapped Out is an app that allows you to build and redesign Springfield after Homer blew up the town. So you have to pick up the pieces, follow the questlines and hopefully get Springfield to what it once was. The variety of characters available overall is, pretty small, but constant updates come out and some characters are premium.

Yeah, premium, i.e, spend your real money on donuts so you can buy Dr. Nick and Arnie Pye. What? Of course I didn't buy them. I bought all of them after I used /rtappedoutdonuts/ or something along those lines, which is probably why I no longer play the game. Things get very boring when you can speed through their tasks at great pace. I mean, once you've finished all the quests and gotten to the highest level in the update, all you can do is farm your cash and prepare for the next update, which is more often than not two premium characters and a character you can buy with in-game currency.

Non-premium characters more often than not come with a building, it makes sense. Moe comes with Moe's Tavern, Principal Skinner comes with the School, Marge comes with Moe's Tavern...I did say they more often than not make sense, I didn't say they all made sense.

You can spin your buildings a whole  two ways, facing the left hand side of the screen or facing the bottom of the screen. Which is normal for games like this, I remember Stronghold Kingdom or whatever that flash game was, I don't remember.

Regardless, if you're a fan of the Simpsons then you'll enjoy this game.
If you're a fan of micro-transactions, constant updates to add things EA have gotten and EA, you'll enjoy this game.

The Simpsons Tapped Out gets a 4/10

Games You Haven't Played #3

So, another one of these 'ey? Sure, why not, here's three more games to play through that you may not have heard of or don't have the recognition they deserve, it'll be only games I've played though, but I've delved into the darkest depths of the Grainger Games value shelves, car boot sales in a field and charity shop bags to find some hidden gems of games.

Bulletstorm



I don't think I've ever spoken to a person that's played this game, other than the person that bought me it for Christmas. It's a fairly fun FPS game, with some unique features, such as the whip, which throws enemies into the air and slows down time in the process. Definitely a fun game to play, not too keen on the story front, but it's worth it for the unique features provided by the game.

The Simpsons Road Rage



Crazy Ta-I mean The Simpsons Road Rage is basically Crazy Taxi with some underwhelming reviews, slippy controls and Simpson characters. It's surprisingly good for what it is, but you can see why people might not want to play it.

Shrek Superslam



A surprisingly good game, basically Super Smash Bros. but with Shrek characters. Very good character spectrum, a moderately decent storyline to unlock characters and it has a variety of challenges to accomplish that'll unlock trophies and such. It has multiplayer too!

Food Festival Bonanza Thingy Review?

Well, I went down the town to buy some games for my consoles and do my weekly thing, but it turns out there was a food festival on, I completely forgot about it. So I had a look around, saw a couple of friends and decided to tag along with them. So, how was it?

Pretty good surprisingly, for the first time in a while I actually enjoyed being outside with other people. I could've easily spent the day sat inside playing Borderlands. The food, while I'm sure most of it will have been delicious, due to the fact that it was home made it was very expensive. I'm talking £4 for some Orange Juice. At least there were free samples, which is free food, technically unlimited free samples, they never specified how much people were allowed...

To be honest, if it wasn't for good company then the Food Festival would've been naff. Unfortunately I couldn't stick around for my friends' band, Arcanum, but laughs were had, people disappeared, the food was few and the people were many. Someone took photos but I don't have them, I'm in them which makes the photos infinitely better but I don't know where they are, I'll hunt them down and stick them on here.

Long story short, it was fun. I forgot to buy the game I wanted though...

Game Review #9 - Tales from the Borderlands - Telltale Games Month


Platform: Xbox One
Store Page: Xbox One Store (Download Only)
Price I Paid: £2.49

So, we're on the third week of Telltale Games Month and it's only fitting that we go over with the only series so far without a second instalment that I can actually be bothered to buy at a later date. This is only a review of the first episode. Again, SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS AND MORE SPOILERS.

Much like the Walking Dead series' this game is based on the choices you make. However, this game has two characters (as of now) to play as, giving their sides of the story to what happened. We have Rhys and Fiona, who have been captured by a stranger and are telling him/her/it their story.

Rhys was meant to get a promotion, he doesn't and a man named Vasquez (voiced by Patrick Warburton) has taken charge of the company and is planning on buying a vault key. Seen as though Rhys is part robot, he finds out this the easy way and just scans the computer Vasquez was using. Y'know, if this was my employee, he'd be a high ranking employee, my own personal scanner, who can just stand up and yell "GET OFF OF IMGUR" every five minutes at the mindless slaves that are employees.

But Rhys goes off and does the only thing that's right, steal Vasquez's car and take the Vault Key which is worth trillions of dollars I'd suppose. But, that's where our second character comes in, which has faked a Vault key, the very vault key you're buying.

Eventually you end up in some sort of destruction derby/Mario Kart tournament and then the episode ends when you find a glove and shadow thing.

The new layout given to the game is lovely, you can even get money in the game too, which can buy you some things later on in the game, they aren't necessary but they're cool to have.

It's a fresh change from the Walking Dead series' and it's a nice branch in the Borderlands series.

Tales from the Borderlands gets a 9/10

Mini Reviews #2 - The Binding of Isaac


Platform: Steam
Store Page
Price I Paid: 39p

Bleh, I don't like games like this. I was so wrong about this game though. I guess you could call this an adventure/dungeon crawler game, I don't like adventure/dungeon crawler games one bit. However I was quite surprised with this game, especially for how cheap I got it.

Graphical style compliments the game very well and thanks to simple controls the game flows very well. WASD to move, all the usual stuff. The music for the game is fantastic, fits really well for the atmosphere of the game, which is a creepy dungeon type environment.

As for items in the game, you can pick up a variety of items that will either increase or decrease your stats in that playthrough of the game, no playthrough is the same. The dungeon is randomly generated, with different rooms with different items and bosses (hopefully) every time you play through the game.

Boss battles are, just disturbing. I fought some form of stomach demon with a melted face at one point, like that thing from Blade. But the boss battles are varied, a good mix of entertainment and challenge can be found in the boss battles with a nice variety throughout.

Overall, I enjoyed my brief time with the game, I don't think it's quite hooked me because it's not my type of game but I can see why people enjoy it and I enjoyed my time with it too.

The Binding of Isaac gets a 7/10

Is the hype for GTA V PC worth it?

Right, GTA V has been out for a good year or so now on consoles, but it isn't a real game until it's out on PC, so say the PC Master Race. Now, I'm not picking sides, I play consoles and PC, they both have their benefits and downfalls, but is this hype really worth it? No, is the short answer, I'll try and explain as best I can, but in short, it's just the PC Master Race flinging their shit because of a Grand Theft Auto game that to be honest, was OK...

Right, let's look at this from a console gamers standpoint first. You've just found out that GTA V is being released soon, when it is released, you purchase it and spend many weeks enjoying it, then updates are continuously released when your fun runs dry which adds new entertainment and challenges to do. The PC release is announced along with heists, rejoice, heist mode and the PC gamers will also enjoy this fairly fun game!

Heists and the PC release are pushed back, multiple times, everyone flings their arguments into a mesh pit of nobody caring, then heists are released, while the PC release is pushed back. Obviously, this is going to create some backlash, I mean, the game has been out well over a year, it's an OK game, but nothing to go crazy over.

I should just mention quickly, I love Rockstar and their games, just GTA V wasn't for me, I do occasionally play it with friends, but it's not my first choice for an evening of entertainment.

So, what's the problem? When GTA V was finally released for PC, most people, or most of my PC gaming friends went absolutely apeshit. They were saying it's the holy grail of gaming, however half of them couldn't launch the game because it refused to do so. When I confronted them with a tiny bit of trolling, by sending them this which seemed to make them get rather annoyed to say the least. Needless to say I was told to shut up because "the console releases had problems", to which I replied that the console releases were a year prior and the console players have had the game for over a year to enjoy. Now I'm not beating on Rockstar here, it's very difficult to make a game, let alone port it over to next gen consoles and PC, I'm not trying to beat up Rockstar here like I stated previously.

Long story short, some of my PC gamer friends threw a fit of rage when I sent them Titanic flute music and explained that the console gamers had been enjoying the game for roughly a year.

Also the first person is naff.

Mini Reviews #1 - WWE 2K15




Console: Xbox One
Store Page: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Take-2-5026555269827-2K15-Xbox/dp/B00KILGT56
Price: £37.80

So, I had the chance to play a little bit of WWE 2K15 over the weekend. I didn't want to make a full fledged review of this, firstly because it's a sports game, secondly because I have a schedule of every Friday for game reviews and thirdly I have the next year or so planned for reviews, so make your suggestions now to see me review it next year!

Well, how was the game? Bad. Very bad. I'm dissapointed to be honest. Not a single thing that can make this game any good. Main problem being the combat. You fight through a series of mini-games, i.e to grapple someone you have to find a blue spot on the RS and LS and then mash a series of buttons. When punching, it's slow as hell. It's a complete change from 2K14, which was pretty good. If this is what 2K is thinking will work, the WWE Game Series is doomed.

The roster is very lacking, no Edge, no Christian and so on. John Cena is the highest rated in the game which is just a problem in itself when the highest rating is 96.

Don't buy this game, if you want to get into the WWE Games, play WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008, WWF Warzone on the Nintendo 64, WWE 13 and WWE 2K14.

WWE2K15 gets a 0/10

Gaming News 12/04/2015 - Black Ops III Reveal, Ray Narvez Jr. and more!

There's been a lot of news in gaming these past few days, for example, the Black Ops III teaser trailer came out, which you can watch if you click HEEEERE. Don't expect much, it's a teaser, it teases you with, well, nothing, it makes past references to the two previous games and that's it. I'm not expecting it to be a good game at all either, I didn't like the previous two games in the series and it's Treyarch, so expect nothing more than an abysmal pile of shit. Wait until Sledgehammer makes the next Call of Duty, because they've done pretty damn well with Call of Duty Advanced Warfare.

In a news story related to the popular company Rooster Teeth, arguably the best Achievement Hunter there is, Ray Narvez Jr. has left the company. It's a real shame to see him go, but I've gotta give him massive props for leaving a dream job like that to pursue his streaming career on Twitch, which I wish him the best of luck in and will watch him when I can. If you'd like to watch him stream or subscribe to his YouTube channel then click HERE and THERE. He says he'll still be sticking around and working with the AH/RT team to make some more X-Ray and Vav animated adventures. Best of luck Ray!





On a more positive note, Mortal Kombat X will be released, it will have DLC that you can try out before you purchase it. This is an awesome idea and I'm a big fan of the idea. The game will let you try out DLC characters before you purchase them, so you can see if you'll like the character before you purchase it. Hopefully more people adapt to this mechanic, it's a fantastic idea!


Finally, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has been announced. Oh, OK. Uh, I haven't played any of the Deus Ex games, I heard Invisible War was fantastic and I actually have Human Revolution but never got round to playing it. People seem hyped for it, so that's a positive I suppose.

Game Reviews #8 - The Walking Dead Season 2 - Telltale Games Month



Platform: Steam
Store Page
Price I Paid: £4.74

The second review for Telltale Month, it makes sense to follow up the first season of the Walking Dead with the second season. I had very high hopes for this game, seeing as though the first season was one of my favourite games of all time, to cut it short, it didn't disappoint. Like the first review, this will have SPOILERS. SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS EVERYWHERE.

The Walking Dead Season Two (Which is becoming a bloody mouthful) follows the story of Clementine, who has wound up with Christa after I'm going to guess around two years since the outbreak seen as though most, if not all characters have visibly aged in some way, shape or form. For example, Clementine is taller. After falling into a river and not drowning somehow, she wakes up on a beach, gets attacked by a dog and meets the main cast and crew of this new adventure!

Much like the first game, it's cell shaded graphics, which fits with the game perfectly like I said about...the other game. Huh, hold on one moment.

Yeah, I haven't really got anything new to add, however, your decisions don't feel as effective in this game. I mean, you'll save someone's life and then they'll die or disappear a few minutes later. The writing seems less, well polished than the first game too, I mean, Telltale was working on Wolf Among Us at this time, which is obviously why the writing is slightly lacking.

While the game is fantastic, it doesn't live up to the first game like I hoped it would, however it didn't disappoint my personal expectations.

The Walking Dead Season 2 gets a 9/10

Game Collection Update - March 2015

This month hasn't been too big on games, only 17 games in March, but today completely made up for it at a car boot sale. So, what did I buy? I started off the month with an SNK game, Samurai Showdown Sen, I got it for £2, but used store credit and got it for free. Haven't played it yet, haven't got the time.

Almost a week later I went down the town with a few friends, I visited Ye Olde Charity Shops and game store, I bought Star Trek for the Xbox 360 for £4. Simpsons Hit and Run on PC for £2 and More Brain Training for £1.49. I didn't think that was enough though, so I went to my favourite game store, Console Connections. I've never left there without buying anything, this time was no exception, I picked up a boxed copy of Mario Kart 64 for £24, which is a more than reasonable price.

Another week passed and I went down the town again, I bought Bionic Commando and the Lost Planet Steel book for £2 and £3 respectively. Yet another week later, I hit Original Xbox gold. A couple titles I picked up were Prince of Persia and Goldeneye Rogue Agent. The next day I went back down the town and got the rest of the games I'd left behind which I'll list below.

Game Reviews #7 - The Walking Dead - Telltale Games Month



Platform: Steam
Store Page
Price I Paid: £4.74

Welcome to the start of Telltale Games month! I'll be reviewing four Telltale games this month, Beginning with one of my all time favourite games, The Walking Dead.

There will be a lot of SPOILERS as this is a very story driven game, thus, I will be talking about the story, nothing major, but little details that you may want to discover yourself.

The Walking Dead focuses on a character called Lee Everett, one of the many survivors, who has to look after a girl named Clementine, who seems pretty set on finding her parents, who are in Savannah on holiday. After leaving her house you meet up with Hershel Greene, one of the many TV show characters featured in this game. You're kicked off his farm and find yourself holed up in a drug store that was owned by Lee's parents. You need to find a way into the medical pharmacy bit of the store and then escape to the nearby motel.

That's basically all I can talk about the story, I mean, I've already spoilt some of it there but that's how little I can talk about the story.

It's pretty much a point and click adventure, with a hefty amount of action, stories and dialogue thrown in to keep the game fresh. The way you act towards people will affect their actions in future episodes, for example, not giving someone food when asked too may change their opinion of you and others around you.

The art style in this game is magnificent, it's cell shaded, a lot like the Borderlands games and it fits the game extremely well in that sense. The characters look superb, all with unique looks and the cell shading really does look fantastic.

I must warn you in advance, you will cry. Lots. Well, I didn't cry that much, but it's a heart-wrenching game that is well worth your time. It's one of my favourite games of all time and it's a bloody good game.

The Walking Dead gets a 10/10

The Ten Best Stand Up Comedians

I like comedy. I especially like stand up comedians and the shows they do. I actually have quite a lot of stand up DVDs, such as Andy Parsons, Michael McIntrye and Dara o'Briain. So I thought with my love of comedy, I'd list my favourite 10 stand up comedians.

10. Andy Parsons



Andy Parsons is probably best known for his long time inclusion on Mock the Week, which is a quiz-esq show but heavily focused on the comedic talent of the contestants, Parsons is a regular on the show and has been since late 2006. However he has done his fair share of stand up comedy, most notably for me was his live show "Gruntled" which I got on DVD. He's funny and original, which is what you want in a comedian.

9. Dara o'Briain



Another member of the Mock the Week cast, he's been on the show for it's whole lifespan. He's also a fantastic stand up comedian, with a notable piece of work being "Craic Dealer". He plays video games too, so that's always a plus and he even incorporated it into one of his jokes in a stand up show.

8. Ricky Gervais



Ricky Gervais is a comic genius. He's made many a good show, including The Office and Derek. He's also a sublime stand up comedian with a lot of recognition from fans, critics and, most importantly, me. He even did stand up comedy in GTA IV DLC, so that's always extra points.

7. Eddie Izzard



Let's face it, Eddie Izzard is bloody hilarious. He's got so many memorable stand up segments, for example "Cake or Death" and "Death Star Canteen". Not to mention he's been on Big Fat Quiz of the Year and was equally as funny as he was on there as his standup. Apparently he's been in a couple films too.

6. Al Murray



Al Murray has a heavy educational background in History. He did a segment on how Britain has defeated every country in the world, which you can find here. Not only has he invented a character "The Pub Landlord" to centre his stand up comedy around, his character fits perfectly and the comedy/character duo is a fantastic mix.

5. Jimmy Carr



He's the host of Big Fat Quiz of the Year and 8 out of 10 Cats. Not to mention his flourishing stand up career. He's one of the funniest comedians out there, his laugh is as recognisable as his jokes, one of the best stand up's he did was where he attempted to offend everyone with especially offensive jokes. The funniest thing he's done is probably tax evasion, but we don't talk about that any more.

4. Russell Howard



Russell Howard used to be on Mock the Week, he has his own show called "Russell Howard's Good News" which is one of the funniest stand up show-esq deals I've ever watched. He's funny and has some very good stand up DVD's out there.

3. Michael McIntyre



He was the first comedian I ever bought a DVD of, he's probably the main reason I like stand up and has heavily impacted my opinions of other stand up comedians, he's funny, rarely re-uses a joke on his tours/stand up, he's eccentric and fantastic.

2. Frankie Boyle



The most foul mouthed, cruel and controversial comedian out there. But who cares? He's bloody hilarious and knows how to crack a fantastic joke, a lot. He's retired from comedy last time I checked because he upset a couple thousand to a couple million people. But who cares? He was on Mock the Week and did some hilarious stuff on there, not to mention his stand up is some of the finest I've ever seen.

Honorable Mentions:

Ed Byrne
Lee Mack
Hugh Dennis
Bill Bailey
Louis C.K.
Eddie Murphy
Aziz Ansari
Jim Gaffigan
George Carlin

1. Dylan Moran



He's made the greatest sitcom I have ever seen, which is Black Books. He has some pure golden stand up comedies such as "Monster" and "Aim Low". He deals with a whole host of issues in a comedic fashion and is, in my opinion, one of the greatest TV and Movie actors of all time. He's a highly prestigious comedian and well deserving of the number one spot.

Have I missed anyone out? Leave your favourite comedians in the comments below!
