Review : Black ops map pack Escavation



 Today I am reviewing Call of Duty Black Ops new map pack that came out on may 3. The last map pack sold about 1.4 million total copies of the map pack to users all over the world so will this real in as much money as the first one maybe. This map pack adds 4 new multiplayer maps with a new zombie map. For the cost of $15 on PSN and 1200 points on the Xbox 360 this could be worth something to look into. The 4 new multiplayer maps are the Zoo, Convoy, Hotel, and the Stockpile. Also you get the new zombie map called the Call of Dead.  They all look like they could be very interesting and especial this post at the top of the blog makes everything look pretty cool. For being $15 I would not buy them because I am not big call of duty fan but if you are a big one well this could be something fun for you. The maps are very dynamic and interesting but of course with have a little bit of glitches and some other things of such sort I will give it a 3.5 out of 5

Old Timer Tuesday : Runescape


Today is Tuesday and it’s Old Timer Tuesday again. Today I am going to be talking about something most high schoolers have probably played before or tried to play before when they were younger or maybe sometime in high school. The game is Runescape. It was first released in 1995 and was all 2-d. Runescape is a free to play online mmo and a pretty good one.

For $5 a month you can get the membership for it and it’s not that bad of a deal. Runescape use to be pretty popular but now has dwindled down a lot of its population to better games you buy at the store. Most people have played it before so if you ask people if they know what Runescape is most likely they’ll say ya I use to play that, ya I play that and I like it, or ya I played it and it was stupid. It has come a long way from being 2-d when it first came out to being a full 3-d game with lots of stuff to do in it. If you would be interested in it go check it out at runscape.com

Old Timer Tuesday : Tron

     
Today is Old Timer Tuesday and I’m going to talk about Tron today. Tron first came out as a movie in 1982 and was a great selling movie in America. The movie was a bout  a dad that makes video games gets traped into a dimensional world of this game that he made. His son figures it out and gets in to and they movie goes on and on with fights and such.

The point of classic Tron is to cut you oppenant off with your light bike and kill them. It is a very interesting and different game. I find it pretty addicting to play while sometimes. You have two light bikes and you ride through a square grid map and try to cut each other off and the first one to crash loses. There’s different levels and it gets harder and more challenging. It keeps track of your score until the end of the game. If you haven’t played it before maybe you should check it out go try and play classic you might like it and now there is also a new Tron movie out that might interest some people

Preview Friday : Madden 2012


          Madden 2012 is a football game. It s going to come out sometime at the end of August and if you’re a football fan and like playing football games well this could be something for you. Of course a new madden is issued every year sometimes each madden kinda feels like the same game with a updated roster of the team but the past couple Maddens have been very good. 


 I would recommend it over the NCCA Football just because the quality of madden is much better and fun. Madden 2012 Looks pretty good so far with the trailer just being released not to long ago you should check it out if interested below. With not to much information released yet you can talk to much about it because just little details and the trailer have been released but if you like football games its always something you could look in to

Review : Portal 2

     
          Today I a reviewing Portal. It was just recently released on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Just like the old portal this one brought a lot of stuff to the table and is fantastic. You’re a robot that has a portal gun and you solve puzzles and portal through different interesting situations. If you like puzzle games and like solving ways to do stuff this is the perfect game for you.

 Portal 2 can be a fast action pase puzzle game that is very fun , addicting and you can’t stop playing until you beat it. The graphics have gotten a very good increase and looks nice. Also after you get done playing through the single player you can go online or with a friend and do co-op mode that has many different levels for you and your friend to play through and have lots of fun. I give Portal 2 a 4.5 out of 5

Old Timer Tuesday : Donkey Kong



Today is Old Timer Tuesday and I’m talking about Donkey Kong today. Donkey Kong is a very old classic first released in 1981 and very popular in foreign countries. Donkey was created by Shigeru Miyamoto that worked for Nintendo.

 At first though like most classic old games it was not released in US until later. Donkey Kong was one of the best selling arcade machines in the early 1980s. Donkey Kong didn’t come out for US until late 1980s. Now a days there are new versions of Donkey Kong being released most recently Country Returns being released in 2010. Most people would probably agree that the original Donkey Kong is the best.
