Total War!

Rome II ...........Ok in case I DO need to say more. If you love Strategy games this is for you. If you love simulation games this is for you. If you love Roman era combat this game is for you. If you love fun this game is for you. I would bomb a small country to get this game. I would touch a SPIDER for this game. The Total war series holds special places in my heart. Rome and Empire being my favorites. Greatest success I have ever had in a game came from Rome Total War. I sat a Phalanx right inside a gate that a enemy had just tore open. They sent wave after wave of soldiers including Elephants into that gate. Burning Oil over the gate and the courage of my one unit destroyed a entire army and allowed me to gain complete control over the Mediterranean.

The Total war series is so great because never once have I had anything remotely like a similar play through. Different armies and nations with different soldiers and different lands to fight on with different enemies. Different choice every time on who will be your enemy. Different outcomes of battles. I have played Empire twice now using the United Provinces (go Democracy) One play through I waged an all out war with Russia AND Sweden. The next play through France literally wiped me of the European Map for me to only take ALL of India and return to Europe at the head of the greatest army mankind has ever seen.

Rome II I fully expect the campaign map to be revamped. Expanded diplomacy and political options. Economy revamped and I have already seen from the gameplay footage of the battles that this will be the most realistic (that's saying a lot considering what they already had in the series) and most beautiful graphics of the series.

Elder Scrolls Online!

   Lately I have been playing ESO on PS4. I have to say it has been a great experience. It is every bit as good as past Elder Scrolls games. So well written and beautifully crafted. The quests are full of story and life and lead you expertly across the land. The many different stories are not only written well but voice acted amazingly. Best voice acting in a open world RPG I have every played. I am having a ton of fun.     I even stuck my feet into the PVP. Even helped take a keep. But for the most part since I didn't have a group to run with and I didn't have a mount yet I found PVP to not be as rewarding as questing. I will try again though this time with a mount  and some friends if i can find a good pvp guild.     I also the other night did my first dungeon. I am a sorcerer and flip between destruction staff and restoration staff skills. So I was the healer for the dungeon. For sure not as easy to heal as any other MMO. Directional AOE h...

It is ok to hate a Game!

                These days ever game franchise and developer and publisher have their faults. Some have many. EA has a lot and Bioware has really squandered some good opportunities like SWTOR. Their are a lot of things about Bioware game that a lot of people don't like. It looks like EA is going to do everything it can to continue its aggressive DLC policy.       With all that said it is important to look past all the BS. Look at what is put on the shelf and ask yourself is this game worth the price. Will I enjoy this and will it make me happy. Even with all the things I don't like about this game or this company will I still enjoy this? Don't listen to the hype or the haters. Just ask yourself what your opinion is on this game.      For me at this point Bioware games (including SWTOR) have hit every sweet spot in what I am looking for. I know without even looking at ...

Game Reviews!?! Worth reading?

             It should be pretty apparent at this point that by and large Mass Media Reviewers/Critics have huge problems. The problems are varied. They are paid to lie, they have a vendetta going into their review, they feel they can drive more traffic to their review if they nitpick the negatives and probably the biggest but least talked about is the reviewer either hates or doesn't understand the genre he is reviewing.                  Big Triple A official or professional reviews cannot be trusted. To often it becomes apparent that the reviewer is basically blowing smoke at us for the sake of keeping friendly with the games publishing company. Sometimes they are just outright paid for fluff pieces (allegedly). If the reviewer is mid to low range in popularity he/she is probably not going to bite the hand that feeds them. EA and other companies have shown thy will blacklist certain reviewers from review c...
