Flight sim news podcast

Hi everyone I had an idea that maybe I should do a flight sim news podcast using products such as pc pilot. This will be posted on YouTube. If you have any ideas or opinions on my idea then feel free to comment. This idea is in the early stage and I hope to have it up and running by the 21^st of December when the next pc pilot is released.

Thank you for viewing this post and I will see you soon.

My video tutorial is up on my YouTube page please check it out and rate the video if it does well I will do more. I am open to suggestions as to what games I should check out. The video does come with a few problems that I am addressing such as the mouse sounds are really loud and my voice is quiet.

Also for an update on games I will be reviewing these will be after Christmas so be patient, in order of preference:

·         Skyrim

·         Minecraft 1.0.0

·         Assassins creed

·         Space marine

Battlefield 3 review

With the release of modern warfare 3 and other big budget shooters it can be difficult to choose. Well Dice has thrown their hat into the ring with battlefield 3.

The story of Battlefield 3 is basic, some nukes were stolen from Russia and America accuses Russia of trying to start a war and somehow there is a coup in Iran. Except the interesting feature is your playing flashbacks as a marine is being interrogated for information about who is harbouring the nukes. I just think that developers aren’t blind they can see other shooters use to same storyline so why don’t they try to innovate in a genre where it’s the norm to have a completely non-existent story.

The graphics to this game are amazing, the frostbite 2 engine is brilliant buildings crumble dust is kicked up during fire fights and blood spatters the screen when you’re shot. The single player has less destruction but in most of the open multiplayer maps everything can and will be destroyed. The guns are also perfectly modelled with the terrorist’s guns looking a bit ropier whether the American weapons look clean and pack a mighty punch.

The gameplay is very compelling especially due to the destruction as cover can be destroyed you will find that close to the end of a match there will be less places to hide. The game controls similar to all other first person shooters. However in the single player I experienced temporary freezes at the beginning of a level in in the final missions where all hell is breaking loose there can be a lot of slow down, but I played on consoles so pc owners might have better luck.

The sound in this game is amazing the voice acting is superb and very rarely did I experience a problem with the lip syncing. The music is also very good that befit the dark time that is portrayed. The weapons also sound as they should.

The main aspect of a shooter these days is the multi-player thankfully the shortcomings in the single player are made up tenfold online, the extremely popular rush game mode from battlefield bad company 2 is back and the maps show a lot more progression as you advance through the stages for example one map on one level where you up on a mountain the next is down 500mtrs in a valley so you either have to use a helicopter or jump for it all the while the defenders are shooting up at you is very fun. There are some new vehicles such as jet fighters and new tanks and troop carriers which can be used to spawn people at the heart of a battle. The levelling system is very good instead of just advancing one level and getting everything from that you have a main level where you get general things then there are class levels where you weapons upgrade to new weapons or attachments, vehicles also level up giving you access to new weapons to improve you killing sprees. Also I didn’t have to wait for ages in a lobby like I had to in call of duty.

Simply put buy battlefield 3, I haven’t played modern warfare 3 and frankly I don’t think I ever will as I personally have never got into call of duty. Battlefield 3 is an 8/10. Buy it for multiplayer not single player.

minecraft review

First off I am sorry for my absence; I had a lot of work with school. But now I’m going to review a game that is so addicting it makes world of warcraft look bad. A game that has over 16,500,000 members and the game isn’t even finished.

There is no story to minecraft you start a world and harvest resources, at first you will start out with nothing so you will only be able to collect wood and dirt, you can craft blocks to make items and tools to help you harvest resources faster. Once you can mine you will collect stone, coal, iron, gold, diamond and other items.

Once you have enough resources you can start building, there is no exact goal in minecraft, you can do whatever you want, build huge fortresses, excavate the deepest darkest caves for resources or just dig a hole and live like a hermit. The choice is yours.

The graphics are the most striking thing about minecraft, at first you might think that the graphics are crap, which they are but the graphics help define the game which is based on blocks. Everything in the world is blocky, your blocky, the sun is blocky the clouds, sheep and the landscape are all blocky. Now in survival mode once the sun goes down monsters will appear all are varied e.g. zombies attack very slowly, skeletons will shoot you from a far, spiders can leap great distances and the creepers will walk towards you and blow up.

In addition to the single player there is multi player which is very fun as people create some insane things, each server is unique so find a great server and have fun building.

The full game will be released soon and I will be reviewing it so until then I won’t give minecraft a score but I will say that you should buy this game immediately its only £13.00 while it’s in Beta.

If you want I can do a tutorial video for minecraft, just comment. Check my YouTube and twitter.

Minecraft preview

I have to say I feel like a total jackass, me and my friends used to make fun of people playing minecraft saying it was nerdy. Oh how wrong I was now after buying the game for only £13 I can’t stop. My full review is coming and will take some time purely due to the size of the game but I thought I would give you a small preview of this amazing game.

The basics of minecraft is to during the day you mine materials (in the early stages cobblestone, coal and in later stages gold and diamond) and at night you return to your house and wait out the night which is when all the horrible creatures.You also craft tools with the materials you mined such as axes and swords. Also you will build new buildings using a wide range of materials from dirt to brick blocks. If that sounds boring then you can check out the multiplayer and see what other people have created.

So the game is brilliant if you are at all interested in the game then buy it while it’s still in Beta and you will save yourself a lot of money. Also check Notches blog (notch is the games creator) for minecraft related news.
