Strategy games


I will now talk about my next video game topic which is strategy games. Strategy games are very fun and require you to use your brain to think of different ways to attack and defend,  some of these games are: Supreme Commander, Star craft,  And halo wars. Other types of strategy games require you to solve puzzles and perform certain actions. Some of these games are: portal and assassins creed. In Supreme Commander you command armies to destroy the other player. Each of you gets a ACU which is your commander unit. With this ACU you must construct armies to fight the opposing armies. Certain units are better then others so you need to scout the enemy base to find out what their building and then make something that can beat that. There are 3 different factions: Cybran , Illuminate, and UEF There are 2 supreme commander games. Star craft is like supreme commander but you have bases and different types of units. There are also 3 different factions in this game too: the protoss, terran, and zerg. There are also 2 different games for starcraft. Halo wars is like star craft and supreme commander but there are smaller maps, less units, and only 2 factions but with 3 characters in each faction. The 2 factions are the covenant and the UNSC. The games that require puzzle solving is portal and assassins creed. Portal uses portals to solve puzzles to find a way out of the course you are in and in assassins creed there are glyphs which needs you to complete the puzzle to decode.

Zombie,survivor,infection story modes


I shall now talk about story mode zombie, Infection, survivor games. There are three main zombie, infection, and survivor games that have an actually storyline plot. They are Left 4 Dead, Dead rising, dead island, and resident evil. Left 4 dead is a game that involves zombies, weapons, and multiplayer. It can have up to 4 people and is very fun. There is also a 2nd one called Left 4 Dead 2. Dear rising is a story mode game that is very fun since you can craft special weapons. Some of these weapons are super strong while others are just fun to use. Have you ever wanted to be wolverine in a game? Well in Dead rising you can combine boxing gloves and knifes to make wolverine claws. There is also a Dead rising 2 and game add-ons. Dead island is a game that can have 4 people playing at once and there are 4 different people you can play as. There is a throwing expert guy, a blunt weapons guy, a sharp weapons girl, and a firearms girl. In my opinion this game is better when played multiplayer. This game is a zombie story mode game that is on a resort island. The next game I will talk about is resident evil. I find this game a very good game that is mildly scary to me and is very fun. There are many different resident evil games but I like resident evil 5. In resident evil you can play with a friend and use guns and weapons to kill these zombie like infected things.

Zombie,survivor,infection games


I would like to go further into a specific topic on video games: Zombie, infection, and survivor games. There are many different types of zombie games but there are only a few that I think are very good. Such zombie games that I think is good are nazi zombies on Call of Duty, Horde on Gears of War, Dead Island, Infection and firefight on Halo, Left 4 Dead, Dead rising, and Resident evil. Some of these games are just a survivor game until you die while others are a story mode. The ones that are survivor are nazi zombies, Horde, and infection and firefight. The story mode ones are Left 4 Dead, Dead rising, and Resident evil.  I would first like to talk nazi zombies on Call of Duty. Nazi zombies is a fun survivor game that has a points currency used to buy guns and perks while zombies are trying to kill you. Next I will like to talk about Horde on Gear of War. There are 2 different hordes; Horde and Horde 2.0.  In Horde 1.0 all you do is survive against a enemy called the locust. In horde 2.0 they added a money currency system and boss rounds, bonus rounds, barriers and more. They also added a new enemy known as the lambent.  Next I will like to talk about Halo infection and fire fight. In infection the game is basically one infected team hunts the non infected and when a non infected dies it turns into a infected. Fire fight is Spartans vs a alien army. It was introduced in Halo:ODST.  In my next blog I will talk about story mode zombie, infection, survivor games.

Video game topics


There are many different types of video games. Some of the most known are RPG (Role Playing Games), First person shooters , strategy, and action. In my opinion I prefer the shooter games like Halo, Call of Duty, and Gears of War but sometimes I like other games like Assassins Creed. Some games I would like to recommend for people who play the x-box and don’t have x-box live are Assassins Creed 1, Assassins Creed 2 , Assassins Creed Brotherhood , and the new assassins creed game that’s coming out : Assassins Creed Revelations. Assassins creed is a great single player game and is one of my favorites. Another great game for those people who want a big challenge in Demon souls and Dark souls. Demon souls and Dark souls was a very hard game for me because it was built so you would die more then other games and that’s what makes it hard. But if you want a easy game that’s still funny I just suggest one of the Lego games. The different ones out there are Lego Indiana Jones, Lego star wars, Bionicles, Lego Pirates of the Caribbean, Etc. There are those who like scary games and the scary games I will like to recommend are Bioshock and Dead Space, These games are known to be scary and very good and fun , there are other types of scary games too, some that are zombie or infection based. There are still many different types of single player games that I haven’t discussed but the one you pick is your choice.
