Update:Games I'm currently playing & my new review format

Hey Guys, I wanted to let you all know that I am doing the best I can on spending as many hours as possible on all the new games I have. However, there is one game in particular that is holding me back from playing my other games: Rainbow Six Siege.

I just can't stop playing Rainbow Six! I won't say much about it in this post as I'll have a full review up for it as soon as I put in enough hours. I'm having fun with Halo 5 and Assassin's Creed Syndicate as well.

This brings me to my next topic. I will no longer be using scores in my review. Instead, I will talk about the game in certain categories then come up with a verdict to either buy it, skip it, price drop, or don't buy. The reason why I'm changing up my review format is because I just hate giving out scores as it's too much of a chore. 

I know it's been over a month since I said I would have the Fallout 4 review up. I'm still working on it and actually have to do it over in order to accommodate for the new review format. 

Expect to see a review for Rainbow Six Siege first as I'm just spending every waking minute playing that game. I might try to get Halo 5 next, but that might take a while.
Till Next Time!!

Halo 5's campaign is apparently two times longer than Halo 4's

Hey Guys, this was the first article that seemed interesting in a while. There really isn't too much to say about the article itself as it's self-explanatory, but the topic is something I really want to go over. I'll tell you what I mean after I go over the article.


So according to an article from gamesradar, it was mentioned to one of their employees during Gamescom that Halo 5's campaign is "twice as long as Halo 4's". Additionally, the game does have faster action and a lot more guns than any past Halo game.

I'm not much of a Halo guy, so I can't really say that I'm excited for it. However, I did feel that Halo 4's campaign was way too short and kind of disappointing to say the least. Don't get me wrong, I think Halo 4 was a great game, but I didn't feel compelled to play the game after I finished the campaign.

At the same time, this is a good thing because I feel that games are becoming shorter. It's literally the standard that a game's story will last 12 hours but sometimes it will go as low as 1 hour. If Halo 5's campaign it really around 16 hours, then that would be cool due to the amount of content that it may have. Of course multiplayer will probably consume hundreds of hours out of player, but a lot of Halo fans love the campaign and multiplayer equally.

Honestly, I feel that games have to be made longer because obviously people want to pay $65 on a game they can go back to and just have fun with it.
Till Next Time!!

Should you buy the Halo 5 Xbox One bundle?

Hey Guys, Gamescom is just full of surprises but this one actually isn't such a surprise. Microsoft announced a $500 1TB Halo 5 Guardians Xbox One game console.

As a side note, this is a pretty crappy looking screenshot, but it's the only one available at the moment so sorry for the inconvenience. It only makes the design look awful.

Anyways, pre-orders for the game begin today. This will also come with a digital copy of the game, the Warzone REQ bundle, in-game armor, and an emblem. This also comes with a Guardian figure, Blue & Osiris team dossiers, Spartan Locke's Classified Orders, and a copy of Halo: The Fall of Reach animated series.

The console itself has this metallic blue accents and Halo-themed sound effects.

Okay, now here are my thoughts if this is worth a buy. Unlike the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition bundle, this bundle includes a 1TB hard drive. However, the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition technically comes with 5 games due to the deal Microsoft announced yesterday about getting every Gears of War game by just playing Gears of War: Ultimate Edition.

The Warzone REQ bundle comes with 14 map packs, but I'm positive there is going to be more map packs. It would have been a lot better if this came with a season pass! If someone is going to pay $500 for this, it could at least come with the complete game!

I would say only buy this if you're a massive Halo fan and are looking to buy an Xbox One. However, this is not a bundle that people should be buying because you really aren't getting much out of this. The only reason a causal gamer should buy this for is for the 1TB hard drive.

The bundle itself launches on October 20th, but you won't be able to play Halo 5 until October 27th which means you can pre-download the game, so you don't have to wait like 2 hours to download the game.
Till Next Time!!
