I thought it was funny that if you try to throw a grenade at the Pain, his bees just catch it and throw it back at you.

I promised that i'll do this, so here it is.
This is my review of Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Feedback for the review (I agree/disagree with "[insert point]" ect.) would be appreciated.
Gameplay:
+One button controls one limb of the character (e.g. A/X is right leg)
+Easy to learn combat system, that helps button smashers feel like they're not a complete idiot
-10 Hit combos are pain. I can't learn any, just a part of them (i'm looking at you King's Magma Driver 2)
7.9/10
Visuals:
+Good looking models
+Good level design (Moonlight Wilderness for the win!)
+Breakable enviroment
10/10
Sounds:
+Good in-game soundtrack
+Option to use your own music/change stages'music
-Some of the music sounds the same
7.5/10
Story:
-No story mode
+There's an Arcade mode though
+Still has ending mini-movies
7.5/10
Artificial Intelligence:
+Good AI
10/10
Difficulty:
(Note: i'm playing on easy, because i'm a n00b. And because i'm a casual player)
+Challenging difficulty
+"Get ready for online" main mode (see: modes), which is freaking hard with two 30 dan characters.
10/10
Modes:
So the modes are the following: Online, Offline modes, Fight Lab (a.k.a. Tekken Teacher), Costumise (or "make a yaoi character from everyone" mode for someones), and the option modes (Profile, and Gallery).
Now, we're going to look into offline modes. If you go there you'll see the following: Arcade Battle (Story Mode), Gost Battle (Arcade Battle form Tekken 5. Or as i call it "Get ready for online" mode), VS, Survival, Time Trial (or what the heck it is called), Practice, and Team Battle.
7.5/10(?)
Roster:
The roster has every character that has been in a Tekken game. Well, if we don't include Tetsujin.
8/10(?)
Rating And Conclusion:
I give this game a 8.5/10. Its a good game, it has its flaws but its still enjoyable. If you wanted a Tekken game you can enjoy as much as Tekken 5, but with more spice this is a must. If i forgot something just tell me and i'll update the review.

This is my review of Dust: An Elysian Tail. Feedback for the review (I agree/disagree with "[insert point]" ect.) would be appreciated. And please not that i played on casual, but i'll do it on med too. Gameplay: +You can learn the gameplay in no time -Maybe too generic Hack N' Slash gameplay +Good upgrades 8/10 Visuals: +Gorgeous graphics -If you don't like cartoon like graphics (and now i'm talking about the cutscenes) then you'll probably dislike it 7/10 Sounds: +Good music that gets the feeling -But sometimes it can get annoying -Repetitive "Hiya" sounds +Good sounds (swords swinging, walking on wood/snow/grass) +Good voice acting 7/10 Difficulty: +Good enough difficulty. Especially for a PEGI 7 game. 10/10 Artificial Intelligence: +Good AI that learns as the game goes on. 10/10 Mini-Games: +Run-Fo'-Yo'-Life time trials +Same thing used in the story (see: story) so you can train. 10/10 Story: SPOILER ALERT! You are Dust, a who-the-hell-knows-what. You get your consciousness back in a field. A talking sword (Sword of Ahrah) comes to you with a member of a not known species (Later you'll know that its a member of the Nimbat species). The thing claims that it needs the sword, but then the sword says that he (the sword) and the Nimbat needs to help you (Dust). You help on a bunch of people, and then know get your memories back, and as it turns out... you're two souls in one body. You have the souls of Cassius (the right hand of General Gaius who is the main villain in the game), and Jin (Kazama) (No not really. Jin was a sweethearted boy, who wanted to help on people). In the end you defeated a bunch of fairies, Taurus' (basically Minotaurs but i named them Taurus for some reason), Gaius' army, and a PUNK-ROCKER GHOST! Then you fight with Gaius and beat him, (also this happens in a living volcano) he's hanging on a pillar, you try to help him but he says "You're not Cassius, and this isn't the world we loved" as he jumps into the lava. Then Fidget (the Nimbat) comes down to help you out, but you just say goodbye to her and sacrifice yourself. Then in the ending cutscene blue dust (Dust was blue btw) comes out of the volcano with the sword of Ahrah, so there will be a sequel. +Good story with twists +Good ending that nearly made me cry (i didn't cried when Mufasa died in Lion King so i think i said everything) -To be continued ending. 8.9/10 I give this game 9.5/10. You should really download it if you like fantasy/action/platformer games, its free with XBL gold. Its really worth your money (especially now that its free). If i forgot something just tell me and i'll update the review |

Review For Journey10/10There's really nothing bad that I can say about Journey. The art for the game is good, the gameplay is great, the co-op is some of the best I've seen in any game, the story is spectacular and can be interpreted a different way by each and every single person that plays the game, and lastly the soundtrack is absolutely beautiful. This game is the sole reason that I would ever want support for indie games. It proves that every once and a while indie companies can produce something that is truly terrific.
I'll start with one of the game's best features, its soundtrack. I'm personally surprised by how prevalent the music is to the feeling of the game. It somehow manages to both blend in perfectly to the scenery and at the same time stands out to the player. It's the type of soundtrack that seems to be of Hollywood proportions, matching up to the very best of movie soundtracks.
Next I'll go into detail about the co-op. I can only describe it as being the very pinnacle of gaming co-op. You never know the name of the person you're playing with, you never speak to them, you never chat with them, you never know who they are. Despite this you must communicate with one another to traverse your way through the game. Throughout the course of your adventure you develop a unique bond with the person you're playing with. It really adds a depth to the game that I had no idea was capable of being achieved.
The art for the game is very well-done. It does have the indie flavor added to it, which keeps it from being great but nevertheless it still achieves the level of being good.
The game's story has you play a faceless wanderer traversing through many obstacles to reach a pyramid in the distance. It's very well done and really makes you think about the meaning. It also successfully adds a soul to the character you play. He never speaks and no face is ever shown for him but you still feel an emotional attachment to him. At one point in the game you really do feel for the character, watching as he struggles along. The gameplay adds to this part wonderfully and the game takes its time during this particular scene. As I watched the character slowly succumb to the obstacle set before him I started to tear up. It was one of the most emotional moments of any game I've ever played. The part that then follows is just as emotional but in a very different way. It quickly changes to a completely opposite tone from the previous section and fills you up with a joy that is very profound. It was an awesome moment.

Batman: Arkham Origins: The gameplay in this game is much better than the other two, with the FreeFlow combos being much more smooth when moving from one person to another. The story, however, is worse than City and Asylum. City and Asylum were based off of pre-52 comics. Origins is used as a vehicle for the Nu52, causing inconsistencies between the stories. I believe the Knightfall comic arc was referenced in either Asylum or City, but Origins completely dismisses this idea with the end of the final boss battle. The multiple villains were a lot of fun at first, but all of them were extremely repetitive and similar to each other. All of Bane's were the same, except for the final battle. Black Mask's and Deadshot's boss battles were almost the exact same. Origins does add a few new cool parts. Crimes in Progress give a good amount of depth to the game, and so do crime scenes. The variation in the different goons is really cool. The origins of the Riddler is also cool. Despite story inconsistencies, Origins continues with a storyline started in City. For those that don't know: Ra's al Ghul manipulates Quincy Sharp into reopening Arkham Asylum. Sharp and Ghul then allow the Joker to plan a breakout, allowing for the mega-prison Arkham City to be opened. The entire of idea Arkham City to Ghul, Sharp, and Hugo Strange is to eradicate all of the criminals in Gotham and eventually the world, one of Ghul's major goals in the comics. Overall, I give Origins an 7 out of 10 if compared to the other Arkhams, and a 8 out of 10 as a stand-alone game. |

Yeah, I forgot the glitches in the game. I dropped it down one for both, and I may drop it down another half-point. I'm not sure. |

I dropped it down one for both, and I may drop it down another half-point. I'm not sure. It wasn't a good game at all. From what I've seen almost everyone out there is in agreement upon that fact. It was just a cash in on a series that had done very well. Don't treat it like it was anything other than that. |

This is my review of Gotham City Impostors. (How many times do i need to tell you that i'm not Batman?) If i left something out, just tel me and i'll update the review. Also, feedback would be appreciated.
Story
-There's not such thing as a story.
0/10
Gameplay
+Easy to adapt, basic FPS controls, with a few tweaks here and there. (Look at the "Power ups/Bonus items/Props" section)
-Maybe too basic.
5/10
Level design
+Pretty good level design, (using the level called "28th floor". Or at least, i think that's what it's called.) there are place where if you fall off the level, you can get back to it without dying with the good prop/power up.
10/10 (note to self: Are you really going to give GCI 10/10 at any point? Really?)
Power Ups/Bonuses/Props
+A good bit of props.
-If you're like me, you'll only use 2.
5/10
Customization
+You can customize nearly everything. Your character's voice, his/hers clothes, your loadout, your props, you can have secondary items that can help you (Shuriken for example. You'll use the plus body armor anyways, though.), his/hers rampage, the bonuses on his/hers weapons, and the color/pattern that's on his/hers weapons, and even his/hers hairstyle.
-Pay2win.Everything is "Pay2win". Yes, you can get money for free by playing the game, but if you don't want to play the game for the entire day don't even dream about the clothes that cost 400... and don't even start me on the DLC that you can only get by PAYING WITH REAL MONEY!
5/10
Conclusion
I give this game 5,2/10. If it's on sale/free then get it. If not then, then don't. It's not worth that much.
And i give this game my Completionist rating of: Try it!

I guess this is what you do when it's 1:16 in the morning and you're not tired even a lick. I guess I'll review the last three games I completely totally in order of completion. Before I post my reviews, however, let it be known what I expect from games. I have the very unpopular opinion of expecting a really good story to begin with, gameplay being a close second. If a game has a good story, lesser gameplay can be tolerated, but if its got a boring story with amazing gameplay, I'd soon find myself bored. I also don't give a rat's ass about multiplayer and I almost never touch it.
Title: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
System: Playstation 3
Rating: 7/10
Review: With Assassin's Creed being my favorite game series of all time, I go into this one with a wee bit of biased, let that be known. Many people disliked Assassin's Creed III, but I wasn't one of them... up until I played ACIV. I can't say I disliked ACIII, but I when I saw how much better ACIV was, the game lost its charm for me. ACIV features Edward Kenway, a pirate never turned assassin during the campaign (I'll hit on that after) that at the start of game wants fame and glory. He sets off and ends up becoming one of the most influential pirates during their high, crossing with big names like Edward "Blackbeard" Teach. The gameplay is great, with both the combat, freerunning and sailing improved from the previous installment.
The big problem I have with this game, is that is not an Assassin's Creed game. I feel like they made a pirate game and decided to tack on the AC title for marketing purposes. Edward never even becomes part of the Assassin's Guild during the story. If you hadn't played Assassin's Creed III, where it's revealed that Edward eventually did join the Guild, you would have no clue he did so. A personal preference is that there was way too much sailing. I understand Edward was a pirate and all, but Lord have mercy, relax. The modern day piece of the game also seemed like some scrambled up bullshit they just threw in your face.
Despite the few problems, though, it was a solid game and I enjoyed it. Edward's a badass, assassin or not.
Title: Splinter Cell Blacklist
System: Playstation 3
Rating: 9/10
Review: When you talk about a game... Lord have mercy. Never have I played another Splinter Cell, but I saw a bit of gameplay for this one and decided to pick it up one day at Gamestop, and am I happy that I did.
Splinter Cell Blacklist features veteran NSA agent Sam Fisher being made the commander of the government's new counter terrorism unit, Fourth Echelon, after a string of terrorist attacks called the Blacklist are threatened against the USA. With his badass team of badassery (technical operations officer Anna Grímsdóttir, computer hacker Charlie Cole and new operative Isaac Briggs), Fisher begins to tackle the problems. The game's story is fucking amazing and I felt like I was in this epic action movie with each cutscene. The gameplay was probably some of the best I've played in a game in years, and I suffered no glitches at all. Everything was smooth and worked well with each other. And for any graphic buffs, for a PS3 game, they were pretty damn beautiful. A great thing about the game is that you have a choice of how to play it. I'm always the stealth type of guy, so I went with that route. However, at some stages, I found myself needing to go guns ablazin', which is perfectly fine, if you're willing for an extra challenge, as health goes quick as hell in this game, even on normal.
I honestly don't have any issues with this game. I decided against giving it a 10, because all games have room for improvement somewhere, whether I'm able to see it or not. Splinter Cell Blacklist is a must buy.
Title: Watch Dogs
System: Playstation 3
Rating: 7.5/10
Review: One of the biggest things I hear in terms of hate of this game is a that the hype lied and we weren't given the game we were promised. I guess it's a good thing I saw the very first E3 trailer back in 2012, preordered it and didn't watch a thing on the game until then, isn't it? Without the hype, it was like picking up a random game at Gamestop when you're bored and have a free week ahead of you. Watch Dogs is an excellent game, whether it followed the hype or not. The story is intriguing and it kept me playing, and the gameplay is a shitton of fun as well.
Watch Dogs features grey hat hacker Aiden Pearce who after a botched job at the luxurious Merlaut Hotel has a hit placed on him. This hit leads to the death of his six year old niece, Lena. The game features his revenge story, where he sets out to find the man responsible for calling the hit. Throughout the game, Aiden struggles with his morality and how his family feels about what he does. The story, while could be considered cliché and done before was still great and it had its own feel to it. A lot of people are saying they found Pearce boring and one dimensional, but I personally believe he was an excellent protagonist and I connected with him very much. The game, alongside the story, also features an abundance of side missions that can be performed, like stopping crimes, taking out targets with criminal convoys and gang hideouts and much more. There's a lot of each of these side missions and it adds a lengthy bit of gametime to a story that is already extremely long. The best part about the gameplay is you have the choice most of the time to either be stealthy, where you hop from camera to camera to snoop out guards and patrols and mess with equipment they have (like distracting them with false texts, forcing their grenades to activate and sending a painful screech through their communications system), or to go in guns blazing and just wipe out everyone with one of the bigger guns. Car chases in this game are fun as hell, as you can sabotage several parts of the city like traffic lights and road barriers (my favorite one was the steampipes, where you could explode them just as a car road over them making for some badass moments)
While Watch Dogs has excellent grounded gameplay, the driving in this game can be pretty bad. There seems to be no form of traction on any vehicle, big or small. You'll go flying into the wall if you're not extremely careful. This proved to be a huge frustration in missions where you had to keep up with AI controlled vehicles. Act II of the five acts seemed to drag on a bit after a while, but with the introduction of character Raymond "T-Bone" Kenney, the game redeemed itself.
Overall, the game was great and I'd definitely pick it up, even at full price.
