Assassin's Creed Review Part 1

Introduction

            Good day readers! It sure has been a while since I ever touched Word (yes I use word for these blog posts) for anything but my assignments. But now that everything is done and dusted, and my holiday mood is just about to pick up (if not for those pesky exam papers), I figured I push out a new, long review out there! And what better way to do so than to do a review on the main installments of... the Assassin’s Creed series.

The Sims 3

Introduction

            Continuing on from last week’s review of the recently released game, Murdered: Soul Suspect, I’ve decided to look at the prequels of the games from E3 that are scheduled to release at the end of the year. The game under the microscope this week is The Sims 3.


            The Sims 3 is a strategic life simulation game developed by EA Maxis and published by EA, released on June the 2nd 2009. Throughout this half a decade, numerous amounts of expansion packs have been released to add on content to the game and increase its playability, such as increasing the amount of careers available and the number of things a Sim can do. The game has sold over 10 million copies since its release, making it the best-selling PC game of all time. The sequel, The Sims 4, is scheduled to release on the 2nd of September.

Murdered: Soul Suspect



Introduction

            Hey ho wassup readersssss! It sure has been a while since a review has been posted, and frankly I feel sad about that so without further ado, let’s get into it shall weeeeee.

            This week, the game of choice for my review will be… Murdered: Soul Suspect.



            Murdered: Soul Suspect is a game developed by Square Enix and Airtight Games and published by Square Enix this year on June the 4th (A GAME NOT ONE YEAR+ OLD). An action-stealth game based in Salem, the game puts players in the role of one Ronan O’Connor, a tatted-up hard-boiled detective whose life comes to an untimely end as he gets murdered by a person he was chasing, known only as the Bell Killer, a masked serial killer who has killed many even before Ronan.

            After Ronan dies, he assumes a ghostly form of himself, retaining his detective personalities and character as he stares down at his deceased physical body, and is tasked with one thing: Solve his own murder. The game continues on from there, unraveling the secrets and mysteries surrounding Ronan’s death.

Introduction

            “Eh you got play that RTS or not?” Questions like these make the average person wonder: what does RTS stand for? RTS is an acronym for Real-Time Strategy, it is a sub-genre of the Strategy genre and many different interpretations of games with this sub-genre have generated many different reactions, both good and bad.

Open World Games



            Open world games have been a mainstay ever since their introduction into the gaming industry as a way of creating a game. Games like Grand Theft Auto (GTA) have set the standard since the beginning of these sort of games and have continued to maintain these standards with the recently released GTA V, a true masterpiece of open world games, tying in aspects such as free roam, third-person shooters, story quests and also side quests in a large and vibrant world which is as realistic as they can make it to allow the player to immerse themselves into this experience.

Summary of All Reviews



Introduction

            With 11 game reviews rolled out and read by all you lovely readers, I figured it was time to have a little checkpoint and take a little breather before continuing on to bigger and better games, thus introducing a new review type: summary! Of course, with the new school semester just entering its second week, I am bound to be tied down and busy with mountains of work soon. However! I will definitely not let this blog go two weeks max without a fresh new review gracing the front page! So, without further ado, the summarized editions with some fresh new information not present in the reviews themselves at the time (selectively of course!).
