Now I don't think I have uninstalled a game before because it has stopped working... Well Metro: Last Light you have broken more records! This game was spectacular! Amazing me very much and I had nothing to Write about really on the bad side, The gun play was nice, The Difficulty was nice, the Graphics were nice everything was awesome! Buuttt then it came to the Dead City mission towards the end of the game. Even on the lowest settings this mission and the mission before dropped to less than 10 FPS and was completely unplayable. Also during a fight one of the enemies Pavel gets stuck on a wall and gains Immortality... So I cannot progress in the game... So I punched my desk a little bit questioning why the tits this was happening. Unless I can fix this do not buy this xD

[MAIN CONTENDER FOR MY GOTY 2014]
This game is the next work of absolute Genius from Supergiant Games, Whose previous work was on Bastion, An amazing topdown combat game with a truckload of Charm to it. Supergiant have kept to their guns. Transistor wins in the Charm department and instead of Bastion's ' Beat em up ' Combat style, It follows more of a Strategic and tactical fashion, allowing you to take time to plan your movements in a sequence called 'Turn()' Which all takes up Action points per movement. There is even a Button which allows you to Flourish and one to Hum. BUY THIS.

STORY:
The Story is exceptional in this game, It follows the tale of a fallen city, A Girl called Red and a Sword. Sounds a little odd, it may seem that way at first glance, but trust me this is misleading. Red is a former actress/singer person, She was attacked by the Camerata with the Process in an Attempt to slay her as she got in the way of their future. The man in the Sword takes the hit for her and is now trapped in the sword. Red loses her voice in the process and remains a Silent Protaganist except for 1 moment. The sword does all the talking, Questioning her moves a little sometimes, But overall helping. I would give the story a 9/10 for being Awesome and throwing Charm around, But it can be hard to follow sometimes and one point left me thinking: 'Wait why the arse am I here again?' Besides that it is pretty awesome()

GRAPHICS/ART:
Well what can I say. You have done it again Supergiant! Transistor is a Beautiful adventure in a Beautiful world, The art on every aspect of the game, from the Enemies that you smash up to the Posters on the wall, all done with incredible detail and as previously said, Throwing charm around like it was going outta fashion! I fell in love with the art style from the moment I booted. the UI is easy to follow and still fits the whole theme of the game. Transistor itself is an awesome sword lets be honest. Everything is just so complete and amazing in the Looks department. if you are looking for awesome 3D Graphic that is here too. 10/10 for Art!

COMBAT:
The combat works very well! It is a mix of Tactical combat and Turn() Based combat, It is best to make your moves in the Turn sequence as it will allow you to Backstab, Do all your moves quickly and also clear multiple enemies! It is a whole lot of fun. I would not recommend it if you are a fan of the more fast paced combat style of Bastion. I would say to keep with that element. It is kinda Questionable! But it is my review and I say it is awesome!

ENDING [NO SPOILERS:
Made me sit with my Jaw Dropped for 10 Minutes.

This game so far is my GOTY 2014 Already, It is gonna take a lot to break that. BUY THIS GAME! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

So, I heard that Borderlands 3 Is being Semi announced! So why not review the last one! This game is awesome. When it is cheap I recommend this game as a definate purchase! The Graphics are outstanding, the Cell shading art style compliments the world so well and never ceases to Amaze me. However this does lead me on to a point about this game, you will require 2 Things to have a lot of fun in this game, A fairly powerful machine and a group of friends, in my personal experience this game is more enjoyable when you can enjoy it with an array of friends.

There are 6 Playable characters including DLC and 4 in the vanilla game, the character that I was drafted onto was Axton (I think) And he is the manly man with the manly sentry turret! Each character possesses their own special ability:
Zero, A Special stealth mode that produces a dancing illusion and the ability to do huge damage on your next invis attack
Maya, I cannot remember the name, but it basically holds the enemy in the air and means everyone does more damage to that unit.
Mr Shirtless dude... No I dont remember his name ;_; Anyhow! His ability is to dual weild his weapons and regen health insanely
Axton, An awesome sentry turret which attacks enemies and steals revive kills ;)

All of these abilities are upgradeable heavily and can mutate depending on which tree you take with Skill points you obtain into things like a Healing role, 2 Sentry cannons, A Leap etc.

The story is Hilarious, The game is extensive and fun, The quests are original and fun! GET THIS!

Garry's mod... Someday I feel I would like to meet this man named Garry and shake his Crowbar ridden hand for this game. It is an awesome experience and don't get me wrong I suck at this game's building mechanics, I cannot build anything in this game besides Bathtubs with Jet boosters and Chairs in them. But that also leads on to why I love this game, It is awesome fun! I have had many a hour messing around with my closest of Friends doing just the weirdest stuff... For example playing Ghost Hunt maps that have made me cry with fear and laughter when my friend got attacked by an invisible monster right next to me...

Another key point as to why you should get this game is that the community is amazing. As with many Source engine games it is very Community driven. People make maps and gamemodes for this game all the damn time! Personal favourites of mine and my friends are stuff like: Deathrun, Prop Hunt, Minigames and Elevator Source. These things have meant Garry's mod has become a big thing, Also its age means that it is very cheap so I highly recommend this game and in fact would go as far to say there is an endless list of Recommendations for this game.

My Closing recommendation to summarise would be that it is Fun, Community Driven and an awesome experience! Good Job Garry! One day I will shake that hand of yours.

'Twas the Night before Christmas and not a sound could be heard, except some prick tapping on a Keyboard like a bird. Oh? Its me!

This game is amazing. Period.

As to be expected with any Valve game this game surpassed all my expectations upon purchase, Having greately enjoyed Left 4 Dead 1 I was very excited to get my hands on its counterpart. And I was greeted in style! Even the opening sequence makes me feel like a total badass before I have whacked zombies with Baseball bats yelling 'LOOK AT ME I'M A SCOUT!' The game is almost Twice the fun that L4D1 Was, with more weapons, Special zombies, Modes and general everything L4D2 is up there in my Zombie game of all time awards along with the Likes of DayZ, This game for some odd reason was rated lower than L4D1 By most reviewers which I hold down to the story, it is a bit jumbled and also the characters have no depth and I think secretly we all had a softer spot for (Insert Girl's name from L4D1 because I am stupid) than Rochelle. BILL WHY.

Anyhow! The gun play feels like it should do, the guns feel powerful, the guns never just tap the zombies like a water pistol, you can use a Pistol and mow through endless waves of Zombies and as there are over 700 ways for a zombie to be dismembered/Wounded/Mamed/Slaughtered. And this makes for some interesting adventures with a Chainsaw and a corner... I will leave the rest to the Chainsaw.

And the Graphics are gorgeous! The Source engine is a very lovely factor here, and being my favourite engine of all time I was very happy with the graphics here, all the Gore and blood is shown in full 1080p and of course as to be expected with the Source engine runs smoothly on a lot of systems I have tested it on so I give a full 'No reason why you shouldn't be playing this' award.

The new Zombies consist of: The Jockey, These short little fellas enjoy jumping on your head as if you were a bike and then riding you, Like a bike. They remove your health a lot and are a general pain but still a welcome attribute
The Spitter: These lovely ladies have somehow gained the power to spit Acidic spit at our adventurers and that stuff hurts.
Charger: A.K.A The Donkey A.K.A I have Masturbated too much zombie. These guys charge at you from a distance and pin you to a wall and smash you up until you die or somebody frees you via stabbing! A very scary force indeed!

The destruction of the zombies ends up with some very fun events and a lot of fun times with this game! A definate must own! Enjoy!

Oh And Happy New year!

When I heard this game was being released I immediately screamed 'HOW!!!! THQ HAVE DIED???' My neighbours were very confused! This game however was produced by a new team of Developers with new Ideals and a chance to step into the fairly hefty shoes of THQ.

Some say that they did not do it. I on the other hand think they did an Admirable job! We are forgetting one thing, The rights were handed over for the Saints Row Franchise, this means that so was the plan for SR4, So people slagging off SR4 because 'It was not made by THQ' Can go and insert their opinion into their Rectum and never play with it again!

I must admit though, this game was fun, and bugged me at the same time, I loved the fact I was not a Super hero with amazing map-travelling abilities and the defiance to blow an entire camp of Alien ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ into space with a Gun spewing Dubstep which recollects as Pwetty lines on my monitor. And the ability to Shoot waves of fire from my Steampunk clothes whilst following up with an Air pound which destroyed everything within 2 Miles.

The Story of this game was also funny like it should be and also exciting! Making jokes about the modern gaming industry, Classic Gaming Industry, and so much more! Even SR2 Is mentioned in its jumbled fashion. It is very obvious this is a Saints Row game. Its comedic power is still the same as before and the Graphics though remaining the same but in a slightly different light do not downgrade its value. I can tell it is a Saints row game as I run along A space ship with a Character who resembles Natsu from Fairy tail as I ask EVERYONE I pick up on my adventures as President of the U.S.A (By the way you are president, forgot that bit) for violent sex as I giggle at the conversations they have like a 10 year old discovering that Vaginas exist.

Its comedic value taken out of the equation though it holds a dark fact which bugged me to the limit! It was a Direct clone of An SR3 DLC which means it may not be worth your money, but I still recommend it for the story and the general playability, even though there is a mod that adds the direct super powers into SR3, SHUT UP! I'M NOT FIGHTING WITH MYSELF AGAIN!

The Radio choices are really really nice this time round with music to fit all fashions, It even plays everywhere you go as you seem to have no need for the awesome Space cars you come accross, Flying is the new fashion and it is a lot of fun to do so, Your Super jump and Sprint are amazing for manouverability and general fun-having.

So in summary this game is questionable to be bought, Get it if you have money to spare, and won't mind some new features layered above old ones, I give this game an 8/10 But See for yourself!

I have always wondered what it would be like to live in a Class-8 Dwelling in a country that has just emerged from war and reopened its borders and I have been drawn out of a metaphorical hat to be in charge of its wellbeing. Oh? What's that! Papers,Please!

This game was a very, very interesing addition to my everygrowing list of games I should shake the hands of the developers of (Needs a catchier title)

It is a game where you play as an Immigration officer who is the only one in charge of the ENTIRE border control. Which means you have a workload, You have simply a Rule book, The news and a transcript and must make the important decision to accept or deny entry in to Arstotzka, You must carefully assess each bit of their passport, Entry tickets, Work permits, the rules change daily and to keep on top of them all is a difficult task indeed! For example on Day 1 You simply look for the passport and if all the details on that are up to scratch they are allowed in! If you get it wrong 3 times money begins to be deducted from your pay.

That last sentence influenced a lot in me, you have a family to care for who only living in a Class 8 dwelling will not survive long , you must get through enough people in a day to pay rent, Food and heat and sometimes your idiot Son goes and gets ill and you have to buy Medicine... That idiot! It toys with your emotions, you want to let this person in to see their Husband after they were separated after the war, but if you do you will directly be at blame and lose pay and possibly a Family member... See why I like this game alot!

Also the tension is insane! You have so much to think about in such little time it is hard not to become overhelmed and hide behind a convenient pringles can!

I highly recommend this game, the Tension it creates in currently unmatched and the fun you get out of it is addicting, It is also fairly cheap for what you get out of it! With exellence in its Music, Design and plot it is a massive contender for Game of 2013! Enjoy a Class 8 Dwelling folks!

So I guess it is time, I am back in that depressive mood where all I can feel is that I really want to do some intensive typing to some equally intensive music, this Topsy-turvy feeling brings on the mood to review a game! And today my scrutinising eye has befallen Sonic and all-stars Racing Transformed. This game was a questionable buy when I first bought it, with my first opinions being: Mario clone. This game is not anything like Mariokart. I can say that for a start, it is a nice peer into the possiblities of racing games, this game has pretty much every character you could think to belong in an internet meme regarding childhood! Even after my first race I was drawn in to the difficult racing style, it is a hard one to get used to at first, but learning the tricks such as how to do tricks effectively to eventually get enough speed to pass that speedy blue dude.

As Wreck-It-Ralph is my favourite movie of all time currently It was a very nice pleaseure to play as him, and his boat, and his Helicopter, Ok so this game makes no vehicular sense, but still! Mario fought for at least 10 years against a Turtle then went racing with him. Point proven?

Anyhow, back to the game. It is an adventure to say the least, the progression is nice and the necessities such as going out of your way to get coins seem a bit out of place as all you can do with them are gamble them away, I never really had enough to do so as I was always in first, so never really bothered! Another thing is the map design, it is superb! Whilst the Mario kart map design was mainly Road, Road, Road, GIANT MONSTER, Road, Road. But the difference is smart in this game, Due to the fact that the maps feature compulsory bits where you Fly and Sail around the map and dodge giant monsters and scenery, it adds some finesse, it means that the maps are always chaning from Laps 1-3 the map changes with every rotation which is very fun to play around with.

This game is by far one of my favourite Racing games of this year not much considering the fact it is one of the only ones. Consider this one, the only downside is the slightly wasted features and learning curve, once climbed make this a rewarding and exciting racing game which peered into my Childhood in terms of characters.
