The Hilarity of Ass-assins Creed 3

Assassins Creed is a very popular franchise and it's not hard to see why. Altair, Ezio, Kenway are all incredibly cool characters that do their jobs in style and the games combat system and storyline are both thoroughly enjoyable. That's pretty much the only thing that kept me going through Assassins Creed: brotherhood. After a while it all started to become stale and I had to rely on the characters being interesting and the combat to intensify to keep me playing. It almost didn't, but eventually I made it.

Shiny Pokemon Hunting

I'm curious. I read about a method for collecting shiny Pokemon in the new X and Y versions of the game. I have been playing it on and off since I got it on release but I haven't felt that pressured into completing it yet. Maybe that is because I recently discovered my favourite Pokemon Gardevoir isn't actually that good. Maybe it's because that Abomasnow I caught is 20 levels behind my Japanese Absol. Maybe I'm just lazy!

What's going on?

Right, I've been slacking. That much is VERY obvious. There are things that are more distracting than writing on this blog and I need to use those alternate distractions to provide more content to this blog. I want to post more and so, I shall attempt to write 1 thing for this blog every single day (providing i can). The posts will generally be about gaming, opinions on it, maybe even something cool that I find. I don't know.

I thought maybe taking this blog into a 'Game website' style would be a good idea. hence the league of legends pool party skin post and the call of duty video link. That isn't the way to go about things. I will leave those posts up there, but hopefully they'll be swallowed up by the cluster of posts I hope to begin writing.

Look forward to seeing 'something' from me and thank you for reading. Check back soon!

FFXIV 'Looks' brilliant

Iv'e said it once before and i'll say it again: Final Fantasy XIV: A realm reborn looks absolutely beautiful and this Dungeon Fly-through video shows off the games brilliant locations and fearsome creatures without the potential risk of being eaten, chopped, sliced and diced by them.

League of Legends Pool Party Skins!

New League of Legends skins making a splash onto ours servers soon. Personally, i will likely be purchasing the Leona and Lee Sin skins but Renekton and Graves both looks great as well. Have a fun day at the beach!

Call of Duty Blitz Gameplay

I didn't really know what to expect when I saw the new game mode 'BLITZ' but I can certainly say it isn't what I expected. Where Battlefield 4 takes on the old favourite 'Bomb' aptly renamed to 'Obliteration', Call of Duty tries something new with blitz that involves running from point A to point B without dying.

The first hour of Wildstar

Now don't take this to heart, but I didn't play Wildstar for that long so I have obviously missed out on the late game stuff and all of the little gimmicks that make Wildstar different to its rivals. However, first impressions can mean a lot especially when it comes to MMO's that want to keep their players interested long enough so they can get to the decent features at later levels that keep them nailed, glued and duct taped to the game for several hours more.

Firstly, I can assure you that Wildstar is your usual MMO with wandering monsters, character customisation, loot and hot-key based combat. It also comes with a confusing user interface and heads up display which you'll probably get used to after 15 levels of trial and error where you press every button and hope it doesn't remove something you probably needed.

The combat is actually quite fun where everything is skill-shot based which is something that Guild Wars did with 50% of the spells you were given. This means you will have to learn a completely different method of pulling the targets you want. You WILL hit everything you don't want to hit and I found this out the hard way because my shots were going through enemies and hitting people behind them. All of my spells did this. I ended up pulling the one creature I wanted, fought with it a short while before shooting the other 3 things that happily wandered by me that i didn't want anything to do with at this stage.
