The Guildmasters

Hi all,

Sorry for not posting in a while, but I do get carried away once I get to playing a game I’m really enjoying it. The latest on my list is Far Cry 3, I really didn’t expect to get hooked so easily on this game but it’s absolutely great. I’m loving it, there is tons of stuff to do and the storyline is pretty cool too.

I’ve also got Tomb Raider which is coming tomorrow or the next day, which should also be cool, and I also took advantage of the PSN offer of spending $50 and get $10 back, so I pre-ordered Bioshock Infinite which I will now be able to download one minute after midnight on the 26th of this month, how cool is that? Which, means it only actually cost me $49.99 instead of $59.99, awesome.

There are some pretty awesome games coming out this year, also there is Sniper 2 Ghost Warrior, I enjoyed the first one so this one should be pretty cool, then you have The Last of Us later this year, which is certainly going to be another game of the year game, just hope I can get that one the day it releases, we’ll have to wait and see.

I’m still in the process of trying to get a recording system setup, but I’m short of a couple of cables, once I have those in place I should be able to start doing the video walkthrough’s again, so looking forward to that.

Well, that’s about it for now, happy gaming.

Hi all,

Yeah, the new Tomb Raider is a great game, a bit short as you can complete story mode in a day, but great playability, but probably won’t get everything the first time around although you can. Basically to get the platinum trophy you will need to complete everything, side missions, finding all relics, documents, tombs, etc… There is a ton of stuff to do, but it’s not hard and it’s a pleasure to play.

The Downside for me is multiplayer, trophies on this will take a while and it’s basically the same usual stuff, team Deathmatch, free for all, a version of capture the flag which seems a little out of place for a game of this sort. I would have liked to see a story type multiplayer mode so I’m not thrilled about going for these online trophies.

All in all, I would give the story a 9 out of 10 and multiplayer a 5 but that’s a personal opinion, maybe I’ll get into the online thing after trying it for a bit. Next game coming should be Sniper Ghost Warrior 2, I’ve seen about 20 minutes of playtime of this and it looks great, this is none of that quick sniping rubbish people get into, this is how real sniping should be, brilliant game if you have patience, I loved the first one so the second one should get to me by the weekend.

Only 13 more days to go until I get to download my copy of Bioshock Infinite, will do a nice review on that one, until then, happy gaming.

More recently i’ve shopped around for more info on what games are being developed, let’s face it we’ve got some decent gaming systems now and by comparison to the past relatively few really decent games, in particular RPG’s.

I’m sure there are some games in the making that will really grab us like morrowind did, then fallout 3, I mean they are more than just experimenting now, some games are so open-ended the possibilities are endless, and mind boggling.

Anyway, after cutting my way through the tons of info out there, online, offline, mags, tv, game stores etc..it seems that there are some really good ones in the making.

Some is speculation, some rumor and some fact, the only stuff i’m posting here are ones that seem to be a definite.

It seems there will be a fallout 4 and almost definitely an Elder Scrolls V which will be absolutely awesome if both can better the previous ones.

The other definite which is puzzling is another Tomb Raider, not puzzling because there is another potential Tomb Raider in the making, it’s the information that’s puzzling and me and my sons have been discussing it at length.

By some strange coincidence there seems to be some artwork going around the internet which depicts an apparent Lara Croft but as a much younger version, teenager by appearance.

Rumors abound since this artwork found its way online which got me and my sons chatting about how they could change the appearance of someone who has been with the series since the beginning.

After wearing the subject out we decided that the only way to explain this younger version away would be if Lara had a daughter, which would explain the artwork I saw.

Also someone involved in the making of the Tomb Raider’s was quoted as saying something like Tomb Raider fans will be amazed and fall in love with her all over again, it will revitalize the series.

Reading between the lines this may also be a completely different experience as it could be an open ended game, a bit like morrowind or fallout 3 which would actually be quite interesting.

Actually i’ll keep my eyes peeled for any new information about any of these 3 games as they would all be on my wish list, let’s be honest, if your anything like me then your going to be one of the first to grab a fallout 4, an elder scrolls V and another Tomb Raider.

For now it’s not really if it’s when and i’m sorry I can’t tell you that one, I wish I could but I at least get a good feeling knowing we have more great games to come that follow on from the ones we already love.
