Dead Nation Review

When I first heard of this game I automatically passed on the idea on playing it because I wasn't into zombie games, but my hubby wanted to play it with me so I gave in.

I like how realistic this game is. It's dark and all you have is a flashlight to find your way. You hear the sound of cans being kicked on the ground as you move and after killing zombies and stepping over them, you can hear the smooshing of their guts splattered all over the ground.

Before I decided to buy this game I read some reviews just to get an idea of what was to come. I read alot of good reviews and alot of people said that it was scary.....NOT! If anything this game is more hilarious than scary. Its funny when the alarm goes off on a car and 15+ zombies run up to the car and start banging on it to BOOM, blow up (that's "slap my knee" funny). Another thing is we're walking searching the area and suddenly our flashlight catches a zombie posted up on a wall like its trying to blend in... is this zombie serious... I see you (blast him with the rifle).

Another thing I like about the game is the (of course) weapon upgrades. Hey the zombies get fatter and faster so we are gonna need a little something more than a rifle to take them down. I haven't got all the upgrades yet but I have gotten up to the flamethrower (and watch out for friendly fire).

I wasn't too crazy at first about the controls. It took me a minute to get use to using the right stick to aim but I gotten the hang of it and you know what....This is the first zombie game that I think is F.U.N.

Red Dead Redemption: Review

Red Dead Redemption has to be one of the best games of 2010. The one thing I like most about this game was the era of the wild wild west. I don't know if it is just me but I love games that have a setting in one of history's past. It gives the sense of how life was back in those times. When I mount my horse and go riding, I find myself enjoying the plains full of cactus, and wildlife while gazing upon the sunset behind the tall mountains that stand in a clear river bend.


 The graphics are spectacular in this game. When I play this game I feel like I am looking at pictures taken in a magazine. The voice acting was incredible as well. The actors/actresses really captured the accents of how people spoke back in those times.

The controls to the game were just slightly difficult when it came the dead eye mostly (holding down aim, holding down the r3 button, while pin pointing your targets, and then shooting........... whew) that is why I didn't do dead eye so much, but it was cool as heck I tell you that. *pow* *pow* *pow* sucka! Also (I might haven't known about it) but there isn't quick buttons for weapons I have to keep pressing L1 and selecting. The last thing was I couldn't figure how to keep riding the horse and shooting people around me. They say the horse can stay on the trail............ my horse didn't.





I love a good story and I feel like that is the number one thing that will get me interested in the game. This was a great tale and I feel like a book should be written for this game, maybe the events of John Marston when he was in the gang. I can express again how clever it was that Edgar Ross was using John to kill his own gang, and then setting John up for his death soon after.

I liked that there were tons of mini stuff to do in the game, like the fun games that were presented: poker (which I got so addicted too), blackjack ( I swear the dealer was cheating), five finger fillet....(I get nervous playing that game, and others along with cool movies, and side quests from strangers, and collecting nature-made items to become legend of the west.

The last thing I will mention is the multiplayer. I haven't played the multiplayer really but I read in alot of forums that gangs of people will take on like one helpless person (not playing nice) and I also heard a rant that there wasn't enough female characters or you have to work hard for them. I'm not a big multiplayer person, but I would play if I had somebody to play with just for the fun of it. Overall I give this game a 9.7 because the controls.

Red Dead Redemption: Finally beat Red Dead Redemption

I finished (well only the main game) Red Dead Redemption, and may I say I was in shock at the end of the game. At some points during the game I knew something was gonna happen with John Marston. It just felt funny that since Bill Williamson, Javier Escuella, and Dutch was dead that John Marston went off to meet his family and was doing all this pulling together the ranch stuff. But I should have known that the government was gonna come back and get the last leader of the gang. It was clever that the government used John Marston to take out his own gang, but the one question I wanna know is WHY JOHN MARSTON? Why didn't you go to the side of the barn and bust a cap in the side of their heads. I know you could have took them all. You fought twice as many guys in the middle of the game......... *confused*. Oh well I was sad at how John Marston's life was ended. You was a baaaaaad cowboy, quick witted, and had a smart mouth, plus punked everyone who was trying the play you dumb. R.I.P John Marston

Oh after John Marston left the game I put the controller down. There was no way I was gonna play Jack Marston. It just didn't have that cool cowboy feel anymore.

Red Dead Redemption: I caught Bill Williamson yee-haw!

I been playing all day again, but today I was playing most of the main game instead of side quests. I can't believe De Santa betrayed me but then again he was kind of acting funny (him and his little gay host), but I finally caught Bill Williamson (YES). at first it was a challenge but then my husband was like "can't u use your dead eye" and I was like "oooh yeeeea" so on that turn *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* I took out all four horses at once... it was so sweet. I got mad though because I thought I could hogtie Bill and my partner shot him.... WELL if he was suppose to die anyways I wanted to be the one to shoot him in the head! Anyways I ended the night finding the fastest horse in the game, good because the other ones sucked. I'm still trying to win a game of blackjack, I swear that dealer is cheating. Oh well it will be a fresh day tomorrow :)

Red Dead Redemption: I passed to the Mexican border

So I finally hit Mexico where all the good stuff is, lol. For some reason I knew that the outlaw was gonna cross the border when we entered the fort. I had fun with the machine gun, and looting tons of dead bodies. I like how smartass the main character is. He makes me laugh when he's punking out people. I tried playing a game of blackjack.... I swear the dealer is cheating, sometimes I just wanna pull out my gun and..... well you know but I want to stay the good guy. Heck every time I accidentally do something wrong I have to quickly load my game because I always try to be the most perfect good guy......boring isn't it.

Red Dead Redemption: I have a gambling addition

I'm so addicted to the gambling games on Red Dead Redemption. Of course you have to win some games to unlock costumes but I don't care about the costumes I like to WIN MONEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!!. Other than that I am learning to hog tie people instead of shooting them (although that is what I love to do best) to earn extra cash (and honor of course). I'm so hooked on this game its ridiculous. Haven't decided if I want to try the DLC yet, it may be a possibility in the future.

Red dead Redemption: Red Dead Redemption

I got Red Dead Redemption yesterday and I fell in love with it after the first scene. First I would like to say I love the whole cowboy era. It is kinda cool playing a game like this because I feel like I see what it was kinda like back in those days. 15 dollars for a doctor bill, shoot warp me back to those times. I'm a little ways through the game. I get side tracked on the mini-games. I love to play five finger fillet, and I am SO HOOKED on poker. I didn't know how to play at first but when my hubby explained to me how to play I didn't want to stop playing and I was getting so greedy when I was collection change around the table... yaaaaa. but anyways I'll post more updates on my future gameplay.
