Dead Island

This week i will be reviewing Dead Island. This game was developed by Techland and is unlike most other zombie products. This games main focus is just going out and killing as much as you can, and doing it with any means necessary. The story starts off letting you pick from four characters, and after you chose you wake up in a hotel room, and after you get outside you see a lady go flying over a balcony. You wake to the whole tropical island taken over by a zombie epidemic. You must help the surviviors not only stay alive, but find a way off the island.

Unlike a lot of zombie games that just have slow, similar zombies that can be avoided just by a light jog; this game offers many different types that are fast, strong, and hostile. You are also allowed to drive vehicles, which makes zombie slaying a little bit more enjoyable than it already is. This gory and intense game also allows hundreds of weapon customizations from a normal bat with nails to a gun that has bullets that electricute the ememy. Dead Island's tropical graphics are phenominal and I believe that Techland will not be hesitant to craete another installment of this big hit. Dead Island is a must own to those first person zombie fans, and is for sale for $50.

Skyrim

This week I will be reviewing the fifth rendition of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim. This is by far the longest and most time consuming game I have ever played. This game is packed with over 250 hours of game play and it definitely lives up to the series name. From realistic, advanced graphics and customizations that seem to never end, this game is a must buy for anybody that loves RPG type medieval games. Skyrim was released in early November, and Bethesda, who are the creators, packed this game full of quests and adventures from killing dragons wherever they are found, or just going rogue and destroying a whole town.

Skyrim offers tons of different customizations from the get go. At the start you are allowed to pick from many different races from orcs, dark elf, wood elf, etc. This game offers hundreds upon hundreds of different armor choices, weapon choices, and even the choice of owning houses. Bethesda made this game so that the fans can pretty much live how they want. You can get married, join many different clans, and learn many different spells and shouts to help you along the way. You also get the choice of being the hero and savior if you want, or just be the lone wolf bad guy who destroys and takes anything that gets in its path. I believe that this game is a must buy for $60.  

Modern Warfare 3

My first review and my favorite game of all time is on the greatest selling game of all time, and that is Modern Warfare 3. Released in early November in quickly surpassed other notable titles such as Battlefield 3 and Dead Island. It is made by the popular Infinity Ward and the new comer Sledgehammer. The game is known for having a short story line campaign, but its online multiplayer makes up for it. With millions of gamers already playing on its server it is only going to keep increasing. The popular online server offers various customizations that allow you to create the soldier that fits you.

Another upside to this game is the creation of Call of Duty Elite, which allows you to find friends or just other gamers and compete in tournaments. If you win than you can win virtual prizes or even real prizes, such as money. The extra content allows you to receive all the future downloadable content and lets you track your stats which will help you improve. MW3 is now $50 and it is worth the money, because if you love multiplayer games and competing with others than this is the best choice for you. My score for this game is a 10/10.
