Battlefield Hardline Beta impressions

Before I say anything else I want to address a comment that's been going around this game especially on youtube.  There is a lot of people that saying this is battlefield 4 with police, it is not.  Those that say it looks like it, hello it's battlefield did you think the graphics be done differently?

There are a few differences you can spot right away, first the interface is much easier to use then the previous game.  In Battlefield 4 you have to move your spawn spot along the map to find where to spawn.  In hardline there's a list on the right with your teammates as spawns and vechilles available to spawn in.

Another change is a hud that tells you where you are being hit on your body and hits to your limbs such as legs may not kill you but will hinder speed.

There's also an in game money which you can use to unlock anything which is different to Battlefield 4 where you had to grind to unlock weapons and equipment.

Murdered Soul Suspect PS4 review

In Murdered Soul Suspect you are a detective named Ronin O'Connor.  The game is set in Salem.  If that town sounds familar it's cause in early America history Salem had witch hunts and crazy trials.  How crazy?  Get this they threw women with weighs chained to their feet into the water if somehow they find a way to survive they are deemed a witch and burned to death, if they drown they are innocent, so either way you died.

Back to the game, the game begins with Ronin confronting a serial killer called the Bell Tower killer which gets the best of him and you die but unlike most games death isn't game over it just the beginning.  Ronin becomes a ghost unable to join the other side of life until he resolves his death.  He investigates the Bell Tower killer.

Being dead has its perks.  You can enter people's body which allowes you to hear their thoughts, influence their thoughts, easedrop, or even look through their eyes.  You can also enter a cat's body and my friends reading this know how much I love felines.

The cat you can control its movement while humans you can't.  The cat allowes you to get to places you can't.  it can jump areas and climb as well.

There is a ton of collectables throughout the town.  These collectables provide more insight into the game.  There are demons in the game too that want to destroy your soul.  You have to get behind them to take them out.

I am enjoying this game a ton.

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.
