Pretty self explanatory if you ask me.

Call of Duty Classic Playthrough part 3
Note: Part 2 isnt on here because It wasn't funny enough and will be redone in as soon as possible.
Call of duty Classic playthrough part 1
Just me doing the first mission of Call of Duty Classic. One of my personal favorites. Don't troll on my epic fail first death and how sucky the graphics are. Note: I can get a bit immature on single player but I'll never do any of this on multiplayer.

Overlooked Video Game flaws
In this article I will show you some video game flaws that most critics overlook because they've become such a natural part of games.
The first flaw is infinitely spawning enemies. I'm looking at you Call of Duty. But first lets get this out of the way, Call of Duty is one of the finest games I have played and almost tops Halo as my favorite shooter. Almost. I am using Call of Duty as an example because it is most noticable here than any other game. I understand how infinitely spawning sounds great at first because it keeps the player challenged, but it really gets tedious killing the same enemies that spawn in the same areas over and over. And before you ask, why don't you advance up? Well, on the Veteran difficulty, it's almost impossible without getting yourself killed.
These are my personal opinions of flaws that will probably never be adressed until something like the Play Station 6 comes out with randomly generated enemies so that no one will look or fight the same way.

This leads to problem #2. Clones. Whenever I play any game I can't help but see the same guy over and over again and me killing him over and over. While this is amusing seeing a hole entire pile of bodies stacked up with the same guy, it really takes the immersion of the game away from me. The only game I have seen to have fixed this was Fallout 3. Congrats Bethesda for overcoming one of the hardest game flaws to fix.
Doesn't this look beautiful
Problem # 3 is the difficulty problem. I really don't like it when a developer makes it so that you are actually weaker and the enemies are stronger and pass it off as a Hard difficulty. I wish that they could make it so that I would be outsmarted by tactics such as flanking instead of being killed because I could only take 2 hits before I die. While the enemy acts like it has Robocop armor.

Halo Reach review
One of my personal favorite games. Unless you've been under a rock for the past decade then you probably heard of the Halo franchise either from a friend or one of those live action commercials that has very creepy choir backround music. Halo is
Let's start with the Story: This is a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved and you play the role as Noble 6, a newly added member to Noble Team. Noble team is a group of Spartan supersoldiers and half of them have a foreign accent. Without giving any spoilers, I will say that this is one of the more gloomy games that developer Bungie has created and the story is a bit easier to understand than their past games.
Next up is the Graphics: The game has a nice vibrant world and the art direction is superb. as you fight on the ground banshees (evil flying spawn from Barney) dogfight against the human's falcons. While when I played, the graphics didn't give me the OMG DIS IZ AMAZING feeling it still looks great compared to the games today.
Gameplay: Halo Reach is much like it's predecessors when it comes to gameplay. Though at times it has its own little modifications such as armor abilities to keep things fresh. For example, let's say there's a noob high above a ledge camping with a sniper rifle. You can use an armor ability such as a jet pack to fly up there with a Gravity hammer to knock the living hell out of him/her. Also, Halo Reach has a lot of unintentional funny moments such as a random plasma grenade sticking someone in the face. Overall the halo gameplay doesn't really break the wall in first person shooters but it's still extremely fun to play.
Replay value: Halo has a bucketload of reasons for you to come back and play. From the unlockable armor to the unforgiving skulls, this has a lot of content jam packed into it. Also, there is a map editor so you can create your own (hopefully not vulgar) levels. When it comes to it, Halo Reach will keep you busy for months if not years.
Ranking: I make up my own video gaming ranking system OMFG I HAZ TO GET DIZ as the highest to E.T 2 being the worst. I will happily give this game the ranking of OVER 9000!

The start of something...
So I've decided to start this blog so I can do things such as reviews for movies or some other random crap that I wanted to put on my mind. So I will try to update this blog at least once per week and about half of these are probably gonna be video game reviews starting with Halo reach.
