Warriors Orochi 3 hyper Wii U review

This one of my first Wii U games and, I thought I already had reviewed it but saw I haven't so now I will.  Now to find this gem you probably have to go to amazon or another online store and will probably get it pretty cheaply as well.

This beat them up game takes you to ancient japan where you have ninjas, samurai, and other martial art warriors.  The game surrounds a demon powerful monster that defeats the heroes in the first mission but before the kill, a mystic woman who has the power of time travel pulls them out and you then use these time travel powers to collect allies which will aide you in the final battle you lost the first time but with their help you save the world.

There is a ton of characters over 100 each with their own style of combat.  There's speedy characters, powerful hulking characters, and magical types as well.  You can form a three member team for your missions.  I tend to take one of each type for a balanced team.

The fact you have so many characters you can style the game however you want it.

Infamous Second Son PS4 review

This game is an exclusive title for PS4.  The first Infamous character Cole has passed on, now there is a new character named Delsin.  Delsin has an ability to learn powers from other people like him through touching them.  He then can learn his own versions within the power he copied.  For example he learns smoke power from his first contact.  He learns how to throw smoke bombs that can help him subdue enemies after that which part him putting his own style to the power.   This game allowes you to be a hero or a villain depending on decisions made.  Different powers will be available depending which direction you take with those decisions.  I really can't comment on the bad side for I played the good which I know for those who know me that's no surprise.

This is one of PS4's best games so far.  I totally recommend it for anyone who owns the system.

Book Thief blu ray review

Before I begin the way Liesel learns to read reminds me how I learned.  At a young age I had a bad ear infection that damaged my hearing in my right ear.  The popular way to teach reading at the time was "hooked on phonics".  How do you learn how to read by sound when you are hard of hearing?

Liesel loses her brother at an early age and was taken away from her mother and placed in the care of another couple.  Her new Mama was very strict, while her new Papa was very kind.  He starts her love for reading.  They would read together and when she came to a hard word she would write it on a chalk board.  Same way I learned except I used notebook paper.

One night a jewish man comes to their door and they hide him in their home from Nazis.  Max and Liesel form a great friendship as he shared her love for reading.  He encourages her to write her own stories as well.

This is a heart warming movie in a sea of all the worthless stuff these days that are made.  I totally recommend this to see.

Mass Effect Revelation book review

This is the prequel of the first Mass Effect game.  In the game  the main character Commander Shepard's mentor is Adrimal David Anderson, this book series is set early in Anderson's career.

Lt. Anderson is the leader of a small N7 unit attached to the SSR Hastings.  N7 is the elite Alliance Marine units.  They get the best training, weapons and armor.  They also get the most dangerous missions as a result.

The Alliance Miltary is the united Earth forces.  Sorta the NATO or United Nations of today.  We are the new kids on the block though.  There's several races that already space traveling around which also have an united govternment.  This counsil consists of Asari an all female blue skinned race, the reptilian Turians, the Sarlardians which look like skinny lizards while Turians look more like they were taken from raptors or t rex looks.

Anderson and his team is sent to a research base but when theh get there everyone has been killed both humans and various aliens.  It's not clear who or what killed them either.  As he investigates he finds the only person that may have answers.

Kahlee Sanders who is a smart young woman.  She had discovered that one of the lead scientists was performing illegal research but before she could report it the attack happened.  Being the only one that knew the truth many are set to kill her and it's up to Anderson to protect her.

MLB the Show 14 screenshot vs player

The player is Joe Nathan closer pitcher

BTW i did a fantasy draft for my season mode i believe in real life he's a Ranger right now not a Ray as my shot has him.

MLB the Show 14 PS4 review

This is the first full PS4 review on my blog, I did the brief posts on Battlefield 4 but not really a full on review.  The Show series has been a Sony exclusive title since its debut year in 2006 and in this version the players look so lifelike.  I have a screenshot on my PS4 of one of my pitchers but I don't have access to it at the moment but will add that picture in a later post oh i just had a brillant idea for that, i will post a picture of the player so you can see how real the game looks to real life.

This game has many options to play where it can custom around your prefer style.  Want to just pitch?  Use the skip feature and your team will hit for you and you go right back to mound, you can do the same for just hitting.  Also there's ways to use button controls which pretty traditional to baseball games or do everything with the control sticks.  It's a bit harder then the traditional but I feel it gives more real feeling of playing the real game.

I could go on forever about this game but, i want to get that screenshot uploaded and find a picture to pair with it on my next post. Hope you enjoyed this review.

Based off the novel by Alan Furst of same title, this british movie stars former Doctor Who star David Tennant the tenth Doctor.  It is set just before the beginning of world war ii and centers around a French spy who uncovers a plot by the Nazis to go to war.   His superiorities don't listen to his warnings until it's too late.

Battlefield 4 assualt loadout

Assualt class uses the ARs in the game most of them do the same damage figures but the Scar H is the powerhouse of the class with a higher rate.  The drawback is 20 per mag instead of the standard 30 most of the others have but if you're accurate that is not a big deal with this gun and unlike one of the carbines with a higher damage rate over other carbines but suffers with bad recoil, the Scar H has a controllable recoil.

As i do with most of my guns i have it supressed for sealth use, i prefer close range optics so on the Scar H i use the reflex red dot, an ergo grip to reduce vertical climb.

Moving to rest of loadout, the FN57 is my pistol of choice and i use it on each loadout.  Gadgets are the M320 LVG grenade launcher btw if you don't have a grip for the gun yet most of the ARs have an option to attach the grenade launcher under the gun which will provide a grip.  Lastly i have the medic bag which can heal you and teammates.

Battlefield 4 campaign review

Now before I begin I want to state there is some story spoilers here but will keep it to as limited as I can.  Campaign mode you are Recker who is a member of a special ops team codenamed Tombstone.  During the game everything you do gives your points get enough points and you can unlock weapons for use.  Unfortunately here comes my first con for this mode the game starts with the Scar H available the best assault rifle in the game which makes unlocking other guns really meanlessness since it's best to stick to it.

The basic story without ruining to much of it a warlord tries to take over china and use the chinese's huge resources to mount a fight against USA and it's up to Tombstone to stop him.
