Fallout 3

"Hey, what's up Wastelanders? This is Three Dog *howl* and you're reading "The Rating of The Games". How's everybody doing?" Anyway, today I'm reviewing Fallout 3, one of my favorite RPGs and probably my favorite FPS RPG. One can say this isn't going to be a fair reviewing because I love the game so maybe I will give it a great score no matter what. Well I'm going to try to avoid that.
So Fallout is a apocalyptic game series where a company named Vault tec. realizes that the world is going to be destroyed my nukes, so right before everything goes to hell they make vaults to house people and protect them from certain annihilation and radiation from these fallen nukes. In this game, you grow up in a vault with your father alone, because your mother died giving birth to you. So you and Dad (voiced by Liam Neeson) seem to be living peachy keen and one day you wake up and your father is gone. You escape the vault to look for him and ask him why he left, and why he made him stay behind. That's all I'm going to say about the storyline. Now go buy this game and play it yourself!
So this game has a lot of good and fun going for it but its not flawless which makes sense because it's published by Bethesda, and we all know how buggy those games are. This game has great side quests and some really dark elements that I love, elements such as in the DLC The Pitt you are working with slaves to free them and stop the people controlling them. The way to do this with good karma you have to kidnap a baby, yeah, a baby, to be good, the guy you give the baby to says "to get anything done these days you have to get your hands dirty. The baby lives and is fine in the end, but its still pretty disturbing. The side quests usually have a better storyline then the main questline, which is pretty disappointing but seems to happen in ever Bethesda game for one reason or another. Another thing this game has just like every other Bethesda game is many open world glitches, such as sometimes you will see flying bodies with their limbs going everywhere, and occasionally for me it freezes on loading or saving times, which means you might have to redo things a bit. The voice acting could use some work, besides main characters every important character has a nice voice, but normal people you will hear alot of the same voice, I'm not expecting everyone to have a different voice, but at least one voice for like, two people, the same thing happens in Skyrim sadly. Fallout has ok AI sometimes weird things will happen, like one time I was taking someone somewhere and lost them, because they ran away in fear for no reason. One thing that I really like about this game is it's gameplay, I like how Bethesda put V.A.T.S. in from the old games, also I love looting dumb stuff that won't do anything for me, but it's nice how many things i can interact with and grab for no reason. Also the weapons and armor are amazing and creative, When you do the Operation: Anchorage DLC you get Chinese Stealth Armor which gives you 15 more in the sneak skill, and invisible when you crouch. So it's soooooooooooo awesome.
Anyway all in all I would give this game a 8/10 awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeahhhhhhhhhhh

Saint's Row the Thrid

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. Lately I have been replaying Saint's Row the Third. While I still love this game and think it's load of fun, Anyone who can see flaws in a video game can this this game has more than one.

Good things: This game is loads of fun and is always nice to put a couple hours into if you are bored, The comedy is fantastic and most of the lines will make you laugh, even in this games "serious" circumstances. The voice actors seem pretty good with actors such as Burt Reynolds, Daniel Dae Kim, Hulk Hogan, and Sasha grey, I recommend not looking up Sasha Grey if you don't know who she is, because shes a porn star. These are all things beside gameplay I'm going over by the way.

Bad things: Well I'm going to be very frank, this game is loads of fun, but it has a very ugly side. I have finished the game 96% the entire game in about 10-12 hours which is sad, that includes all the DLC, so that's buying everyplace, beating all the missions and unlocking and buying everything. So in short it's a very short game which is disappointing if you pay full price on the game. Next thing is that they take the great insanity that Saint's Row has and threw it way to overboard, games need to have a certain balance with these things because if not the game is too wacky to have any real features, which a game doesn't need but is nice. Another is the rival gangs, While in Saint's Row 2(which I think is superior) every gang hated each other, while in this game its like one gang in control of the city but they each have different sections, but they work together nonetheless.

For the gameplay factor alone this game is a load of fun and it's hilarious when you think of how zany and weird this game is, Let me tell you about the Genki Manipult for example, where you run people over and then they become ammo for your car where you shoot there bodys at anything you desire, even zombies. This game took out some great gameplay from SR2 but it also did add Professor Genki's Super Epic Reality Climax, in which you go through some terrible maze thing that is armed to the teeth with traps, and mascots, don't forget the mascots. So all and all this game is great fun, zany to the brainy, it has its problems sure, but tell me another game where you attack people with a giant dildo.............. I'm waiting.

All in all I would like to give this game higher, but i'm going to give it a 7/10 due to the bad things sometimes outweighing the good.

There are other things to talk about but I think I've said so see ya later alligators and tune in next week for my next exciting blog!

Ok like usual this video has it's language and its gunny shooty parts so don't watch if you don't want to see that or if you don't like Power by Kanye West. Saint's Row The Third Trailer

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct

Hey guys, Welcome back to The Rating of The Games, and today we are taking a Look at The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. So what is this game? Well I will tell you, This game is published by Activition, It was published in 6 months, I has horrible graphics for this time, and the voice acting is terrible, laughable almost. So yeah this "stealth survival" game is doing great so far, isn't it?
This game has been universally said to be one of the worst games ever. Which is funny because after the last Walking Dead game I expect nothing less than a miracle. That game was beautiful and could quite possibly be the best telltale game ever (besides Monkey Island). As that one was based off the comics, this one was based of the show and it's kind of sad to think about how much money this piece of trash made. Of course people just buy it because it says " The Walking Dead" on it and the show is good. That's called ignorance and by people buying this game isn't just saying "Hey Activision keep making more great games like this." We blame companies for making bad games while we buy them making game makers think "Hey lets make more!"

Anyway Back on track you know you have a great zombie game when killing zombies is boring and feels uneventful. The combat is "sneaking" around and stealth assassinating zombies, kind of like dishonored but not fun. But if a zombie sees you you have to hit them in the head about 5 times until they die, but its not like cool you just hit their head while they do nothing to attack you. YAWN. It's really sad, this game has some interesting concepts and ideas, that if pulled off well could be a decent game. The PC port just like every other Activision game is almost unplayable, this game has terrible mouse acceleration which is in some pc games for absolutely no reason, maybe to show stress....... who knows? Mouse acceleration is when in random places the mouse sensitivity either jumps up and slows down, crappy pc ports are made often nowadays sadly because of how many of us "gamers" are purely console.

Right now I'm going to check how much this game is on amazon, one sec............... 50 bucks. So after my upbeat review i think we know what to get your friend for half christmas.

All and all my final review is a very nice 3/10. Hey at least it has a decent inventory system.
