7 DAYS TO DIE Gamer Review

7 Days to Die is a zombie survival game. Think Mine Craft mixed in with Left for Dead.  

In 7 Days to Die you want to build the ultimate fortress to be able to survive the immense horrors of night. Everything from zombies, to zombie dogs, to giant bumble bees will attack and try to kill you….. why is there giant bees? Hell if I know. 

The game is still being worked on so its a bit buggy. But I would say this game is definitely a must buy.   

It is very easy to find loot in 7 days to die. You can loot cars,  book bags, trash, and even zombies. The bigger the zombie seems to be, the better loot. There are a lot of different kinds of guns to try on the zombies; to see which ones better fit you. My personal favorite is a sawed off shotgun, because I believe a headless zombie is a happy zombie.       

7 Days to Die map is made up in 6-8 sections. Each section of the map benefits a certain material. One section is great to get sand from, while another is good to get stone from. Now don’t think you will just start the game and build the house of your dreams. When you spawn in certain parts of the map, it will be “toxic” and  that will kill you if you breathe it in too long. Those parts of the maps I believe you have to unlock by surviving.

7 Days to Die is still a bit buggy but it’s another one of my favorites. It’s the type of game where you start at 8:00 p.m. and think I’ll get off at 10:00 p.m. not already knowing its 6 in the morning. 

The game is addictive and there is plenty to do. I say this game is a must buy for zombie fans. I rate this game a 8.5 out of 10

ROCKSMITH 2014 Gamer Review

So let's talk about Rocksmith 2014... 

It has helped me tremendously with guitar. I have  been playing for 6 years, and with just playing Rocksmith 2014 for a week I am already seeing improvement in my skill.

Rocksmith 2014 is formulated to help with rhythm guitar, lead guitar and Bass. So whatever type of guitarist you are this is the game to get. If you want to learn guitar this is a game you would also want to start out with.

Rocksmith is like Rockband or Guitar Hero except your using a real guitar. You start off small with simple notes then as you get better the game progresses and it gets harder.  They also have training videos to prepare you for the song. 

One thing Rocksmith offers is a 60 day challenge. They guarantee that if you play rocksmith for a couple hours for 60 days straight you will become a decent guitarist. Since I have been playing I am starting to realize the challenge actually works. I am a huge fan of music and I gotta tell you this game is worth every penny.

Here's some more about it that's pretty interesting. 

Lets say you wanna play guitar but you don’t wanna listen to music. Rocksmith 2014 also has arcade games that still teach you how to play guitar. The other day I was playing a arcade game that was similar to street fighter, you have two characters that move to a certain area on the road….the road is cut into boxes that looks like guitar frets….when your character moves a bad guy will show up on the screen and you have to hit the fret on your guitar that the bad guy is on to attack him. If you take too long he will attack you. There is another arcade game where you have to press the correct note to get your character to jump from platform to platform….take too long and the ground disappears.

Rocksmith 2014 is one of my everyday games…I love it and have no issues with it what so ever. 

I used to have a guitar tutor and I got tired of paying him monthly to teach me the same damn thing every day. Rocksmith 2014 is a pay $60 once and that game can teach you more than a tutor could in my opinion. 

I give Rocksmith a 9 out of 10. Just remember that if you can still hear your parents or spouse yelling at you to turn it down, you're not playing loud enough.

STATE OF DECAY Gamer Review

    All I have to say about this game if OMG! This game blows any other zombie game out the water. I’ve tried millions of zombie games hoping to find the right one and this game is the perfect. In this game you play as multiple characters and it’s your job to make sure everyone in your group is happy, well fed, has medical help, a place to sleep and so on. There are special zombies that you need to watch out for. But don’t be afraid. You’re just as bad ass as they are.

          The game is only single player. But the way the game is built I am sure a multiplayer is soon to come. The map is open world and you can enter any building on the entire map. In this game you and a friend just got back from vacation. As soon as you get off the boat and onto land zombies attack. The first half of the game is about figuring out what’s going on. Then after you get an idea of what’s going on you get set up in a church with a group of people, and your friend ends up getting injured causing you have to find medicine. Once you get the medicine you "earn your place in the group" meaning you’re in charge of taking care of this said “group”

As you look around the big open world you can use the supplies you find to make extra buildings such as bedrooms/watch towers/medicine areas and so on. You can also upgrade the buildings as well. One thing you’ll notice is clearing out hordes of zombies or special zombies raises the moral of your people. You will also find survivors to take in as you travel around the map. (I suggest that you don’t take in every survivor as your base may not have enough supplies to cover them all).

Special zombies are well special.....They have everything from a big fat one charging over you to a screaming zombie that alerts every  other zombie around you...And yes if you see a herd of zombies run like hell or stay hidden...they will kill you. Last but not least there is a zombie that will tackle you and attack you until your low on health then grab you and rip your body in half...

State of Decay is the best zombie game I have played so far and I give it a 9/10.

Pro's

• Open world
• bad ass ways to kill zombies
• easy controls
• addictive
• there’s zombies....

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Gamer Review Part 1

A Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

The Legend of Zelda series is a passion of mine, so naturally when A Link Between Worlds was announced I was excited. I was really worried about spoilers so I tried not to read too much, but of course I couldn’t resist. I was really anxious and worried. This was going to be a sequel to one of my favorite games of all times, and they were making a lot of changes.

The first thing I saw when I heard about the games was the “painting” aspect of the game, it looked really neat, but I wasn't sure how they were going to incorporate it into the game. I looked forward to seeing more trailers. 

Shortly after that I read about the new item system. Instead of finding the items you needed in each dungeon and being linear, the game would be nonlinear and you could rent your special weapons from Ravio the traveling salesman. I wasn't sure I was happy about this part either. It totally went against the dynamic I was used to in every game, and trust me I've played them all.

There is a new bad guy Yuga and he reminded me of a cross between Ganondorf and Ghirahim or maybe even one of the Gerudo. So new bad guys, new friends and NPCS and brand new amazing graphics. I was excited and waiting with anticipation.

The day they game released I picked up the 3DS XL bundle, a copy of the game, and the guide as well. All were beautifully packaged and had that new game, system and book smell.

Home to play the game…

I’m not that far into it now due to that whole being responsible, gotta pay bills and keep the house running thing.

But I have to tell you so far it’s AMAZING!! The graphics are beautiful, the music is enhanced and lovely. I've explored the world a little bit, got to meet Yuga and some of the new NPCS, play a couple of the mini games. I’m totally hooked.

Let’s go over the reservations I had with the game. The whole buying of items, isn't’t as bad as I thought it would be truthfully. The prices on renting the items aren't so high that you can’t easily cover them, and the character who sells them is actually pretty likable though seemingly a coward and leaving the battling to “real heroes”. I think he’s pretty adorable with his cute purple rabbit head. Also because of him you survive your first real battle with Yuga after he turns you into wall art. You pop back up to normal because of that little gift he gives you. It astounds him as well trust me.

Now let’s go over becoming a painting and moving, holy cow it’s interesting and fun. I’m still getting the hang of it but so far it’s unique and interesting and makes the game much more intricate than any of the other games in the past. I can see why it’s gotten such hype and praise.

The nonlinear function so far is also kind of nice, it allows for more exploration and the ability of doing things in whatever order you feel comfortable with, it also allows for a unique experience and the ability to do different things each time you play.

One thing I didn't read about that I've experienced since starting to play is the save function, there’s weather vanes now to save at that also serve as drop of points by our friendly neighborhood travel companion Irene the witch in training. She’s adorable and super helpful.

That’s all for now!! I have more playing to do. This is just part one of more to come.

THE SIMPSONS TAPPED OUT FOR ANDROID & IOS Gamer Review

If your anything like me then you like games where you can create your own town and for some weird reason, you have to make sure your town is the best. The Simpsons tapped out for Androids and just about any type of phone is one of my favorite games. At first i thought, o well its a Simpsons game it will be funny for a week then ill be bored. To my surprise i was wrong. The Simpsons tapped out has kept me checking it every day for the past 7 month (maybe more). My experience with this game has been very fun and very weird at the same time.


          As i had said, the Simpsons tapped out is a game where you build your own town. The reason you have to build the town is because homer was playing farmville on his phone at work and yet still managed to blow up Springfield. You start out with only Lisa and homer which is funny in a weird way. Lisa wants to "clean up the mess and rebuild Springfield" while homer wants to just sleep.
Also there are Simpsons clips that will make you have to pee from laughing so hard after every clip.

The Simpsons tapped out also caught my attention when I found out that they do special things per holiday. And not just for real life holidays but for the Simpsons holidays as well. Remember that famous episode when homer and everyone in Springfield celebrated a day of whacking snakes upside the head? Well that day had came and as a player it was your job to whack snakes yourself but also send everyone else to whack the snakes. More snakes you whacked the more gifts and surprises you got. Recently that have started something new that i thought was awesome. For Halloween they brought back Flanders wife Maude as a ghost to haunt and terrify Springfield. Well she brought plenty more ghosts with her and it was your job to collect "GOO" to earn surprises but this time not only did you earn surprises for yourself but as a community you could when prizes for how ever many "GOO" you as a community could get.

The Simpsons tapped out also has a lot of show references that makes you go "O I REMEMBER THAT." The building you build and the people you fine are all from original episodes. Now I realize that since Matt Groening stopped making the Simpsons that the Simpsons I sent really that funny anymore. But in a weird way the characters in the game act more like there original selves from the AMAZING ERA OF MATT GROENING. You can also add friends neighborhoods to help you with special events. Remember the more neighbors you have the better.

usually i would do pro's and con's at the end of a article but i have no con's for this game. If you would like to try the game out and need a neighbor send a comment below and I'll respond and add you as a neighbor as soon as possible. Thank you for reading and don't eat all the damn donuts!
