Lone Survivor Review Coming Shortly!

Lone Survivor is a 2D survival horror game made by Jason Byrne. It was released on the 23 of April this year, so hopefully that review is still relevant.

Anyways, just posting a heads up that yes, a review of this indie game is coming!

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Sub Rosa

Sub Rosa is a multiplayer FPS that was made in seven days. It is more realistic than Call Of Duty in my opinion.
1. When you walk over guns the ammo doesn't magically jump into your gun
2. Your team mates don't have special shields which your bullets can't get through
3. If you have two of the same guns, ammo doesn't jump into one of the guns
4. Magic names don't appear above your heads
5. Shooting yourself in the foot kills you
6. Once you die you are dead for the rest of the round

Unless Call of Duty is about Magic, this game is more realistic. The link to the game is below http://7dfps.org/?projects=sub-rosa

Meet the Pyro

For all the Team Fortress people out there, the long a waited meet the Pyro has just released today, at the Team Fortress official site here http://www.teamfortress.com/ they have also released the software that makes the "meet the ..." series. Sadly it doesn't tell us what is the Pyro but it is entertaining just like the rest of the "meet the ..."s. This is a big day since it is the latest of the series and the longest to make I think. Valve, why are you so amazing yet take so much time to make things.

Psychonauts Review

I just finished Psychonauts just in time! I'll introduce it, it is an amazing third person adventure thingy platformer about psychics. It does many things really well, the music doesn't distract but adds to the environment and the general feel of the game. The plot is as obvious of a string that leads to a ball of tangled mess. I'm not saying it is messy, I'm saying that you don't expect some parts of the story. The maps feel large and so big you have trouble finding the collectibles. The boss battles are engaging and interesting, every single boss needs you to use a different skill that you learn in a different way. The skills are fun to use but some are very stiff. The telekinesis is hard to use quickly so bosses that you need to use it on stand still like they know you need time to kill them. The menu and the level formats are a new take. You simply don't select the mind you enter but you must enter a mind using the psycho-portal then enter the mind selection once you use their mind to travel to others you can explore. There is so much to say about it but I don't feel like taking up all your time.

It is a funny, heavy and light atmosphere, humorous, vast game where you can get hours of gameplay depending on how well you play it. 100/100 flaming milk delivery men who sparkle

Pokemon BW 1: Your First Pokemon!

Welcome to the Unova Region! On your journey, you will meet countless Pokemon, and battle Trainers to become stronger than ever before, and even learn something about yourself. So, let's jump into the world of Pokemon!

Nuvema Town & Your Starter Pokemon


What Pokemon to Expect in BW1:


Snivy-------------------------------Only One


Tepig------------------------------Only One


Oshawott------------------------Only One


Items We Receive:

Xtransciever--------------------Only One


                                


When you first begin the game, you will be asked the basic questions, such as gender and name. The gender of your character has no impact whatsoever on the story, and neither does your name. The only differences are cosmetic.

After that, you wil find yourself in your room with your rival, Cheren, who is complaining about Bianca, your other rival, being late to recieve your starter Pokemon. After that is sorted, you will get the chance to choose.


If you are resetting to get a starter of a specific gender, or a shiny starter, save your game here.


As always, you get to pick from three types--Fire, Water and Grass. The Fire-type, Tepig, is a decent tank that will eventually evolve into the Fire/Fighting-type Emboar, although it is pretty lackluster until you get to level 15, and learn Flame Charge. The Grass-type, Snivy is a difficult starter to raise, learning its first decent move, Leaf Blade, at level 32. The Water-type, Oshawott is, in my opinion, the easiest of the Unova starters to use. You won't be at a serious type disadvantage until the fourth gym battle, as opposed to Snivy, who's weak to the third, sixth and seventh gym leaders.

All in all, if you're going for results, choose Tepig, if you're going for simplicity, choose Oshawott, and if you're feeling like a challenge, choose Snivy.

For the purpose of this walkthrough, I will be referring to "your starter" as Oshawott, Dewott and Samurott, because that is what I chose. It makes no difference, because the only Pokemon that change depending on your starter are the Striaton Gym Leader's elemental monkey and your rivals' elemental monkey and starter.

 You will then be forced into a battle with Bianca, who has chosen the Pokemon that is at a type disadvantage to yours. At this point, however, it is not really a deciding factor. The deciding factors are actually who gets a critical hit, if anyone, and who uses Tail Whip, or Leer, is Snivy's case. The best strategy is to just use Tackle.

Then, Cheren will heal yours and Bianca's Pokemon, and then challenge you. The battle is exactly the same, except Cheren has the Pokemon that is at an advantage to yours, type-wise. The same strategy is useful for this battle too.

When you go downstairs, your rivals will talk to your mom for a bit, then leave. Cheren is headed to the Juniper Research Lab, and Bianca is headed home. At this point, your mom will give you your Xtransciever (pronounced "cross-transciever", in my video walkthrough that I will be uploading over the summer, you will hear me pronounce that incorrectly, along with Cheren's name many, MANY times). So, without anything else, it's time to head out to the Research Lab to recieve our Pokedex... In the next part!

Anyway, that's all for now, folks, and make sure to continue to view our blog regularly!

Update Time

Hello, all.

First off, I'd like to say thank you to the followers who have continued to stay with us, even though we haven't been posting much. I am here to say that I will be starting a written walkthrough of Pokemon Black and White. In these written walkthrough, I will release a section everyday. Also, details specific to Black or White will be in brackets, i.e. "Before you battle Reshiram [Zekrom], make sure you save your game." This allows me to write an accurate walkthrough of both games, while only playing one.

That is it.

Skull Girls Review

Hey, It's Ryan here again after a long time, but I'm finally going to talk about Toronto Comic Con! I didn't end up playing in that tournament, but I did get to play a bit of a game prior to it's release, and that game was Skull Girls! I'm really not going to have much to say about it, I'm not that into fighting games, and I didn't play it for very long. But what I did notice is that the game controlled quite like Marvel vs. Capcom 3, the most recent fighting game I've played. It was likely run on the same engine, as game play felt rather similar, and flowed very well. There were a multitude of characters to choose from, and all had the common theme of being a girl... I think. They were all pretty cartoon-y, but I think that really gave the game something. Each character has it's own range of attacks, the strongest of which require complex button pressing. Each also has a special, again like MvC3. All in all, it wasn't bad, it flowed well, and the characters were very well designed. If you are into fighting games, you may want to check this one out. I would give it an over all 8/10.
