Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Shadow of Mordor is a fun game i play. It is just like the movies: Hobbit, and, Lord of the Rings. They are mixed together to make one big game. There are many forms of different monsters to attack. One of the many around the free roam world is called an "Uruk". They are just like the rest of the monsters in this game, but are the very basic. There are big cats that they try to kill or are killed by called "Caragors". They are big cats with body armor and are very strong and have alot of health. You usually don't want to mess with them in the beginning of the game. It is best when you get the ability to mount them. These are only 2 of the monsters in Shadow Of Mordor.
         In Shadow Of Mordor there is a variety of different monsters. Two of those monsters are "Caragors , and Uruks". Another one of these monsters is a captain. They are Uruks but are stronger with different weaknesses and strengths. They are usually harder to defeat then others. But some captains can die very easily with ranged attacks. For example you can head shot the captains with the weakness "Weak to Ranged Attacks" and be able to either kill them or injure them badly. When they are strong to ranged attacks it means they can take hits from ranged attacks and not be hurt by them. Another Uruk is called a "War chief". They are much stronger then captains and Uruks and are very rare. There is only 5 War Chiefs at a time in the "Saurons Army". Saurons army is all of the uruks that are captains or War Chiefs. War chiefs have very little weaknesses and have more strengths. Another monster is called a "Graug". The Graug is a very huge troll. He does alot of damage and has more health then anything in the game. You don't want to mess with these ever because they are really strong. Graugs like to kill Caragors and eat them as a snack. The Graugs can kill over 50 Caragors at a time and still have full health. The only thing that is bad about a Graug is that they are very slow, but their big weapon makes up for it. These are only some of the monsters in Shadow Of Mordor.
          Another thing in Shadow of Mordor is the Ability system. With the ability system you can do many things. One of the abilities is the ability to mount Caragors. When you try to mount Caragors you hit The button that flashes on the screen. To get the button that flashes on the screen you have to be on a higher level then the Caragor. For example if the Caragor was in a cage, you have to be on the cage and let it out then hit the button that flashes on the screen. Another ability that you can get is called execution. When you are at an 8 kill streak you can press the button assigned to the skill to instantly kill an enemy. When you are using executing an enemy the other enemies are coming at you in slow motion. Some enemies will get scared when you kill the enemy with execution and try running away. Another ability in the ability system is called "Wraiths Flash". You also have to get an 8 kill streak to use it. When you activate it using the key assigned to the skill you stun near by enemies. When you use the ability it creates an explosion. A lot of the time when you use this ability you want a lot of enemies around you, to have the full affect. Most of the time its useful when you are about to die. When you are near full health you want to use execution instead of Wraith's flash. When you activate an ability you have to wait to get another 8 hit streak to be able to use another one again. Once you kill an enemy with execution some others may flee. When you kill a Caragor enemys also might flee. When enemies flee it tells others to flee as well, if your lucky enough. If you get the others to flee you will be able to hit them without being hit.
          Later on in the game you can mount different types of monsters (2 at the moment). One of them is a Caragor. The Caragor can be mounted in many different ways. The most popular is in the late game. When you have shadow strike and then get to a certain mission it upgrades to shadow mount. When you aim at a Caragor in Wraith mode and you use shadow mount you teleport  on them and tame them right away. Then you can ride freely (All monsters that you can ride in some way allow you to use Shadow Mount). The latest monster that you can ride is a Graug! You can use shadow mount just like the Caragor or you can do it the hard way. When you want to mount a Graug without using shadow mount it is very hard. First of all you have to get it to start eating Caraogrs or Uruuks. When it is doing that you go to its ankle and make it bleed (Will have the button to press in the bottom right hand corner). Then you press the button and it will get angry and start charging you. When it charges you, you want to shoot it with elf shot in the head. When it gets shot in the head it will become stunned (Only when it is charging). Then you go behind it and hit the button to mount it. When you mount it there is alot of counters you have to do, but in the end its worth it.
         In the really late part of the game, you have to fight many different bosses, most of them are very hard and frustrating. The boss  =====>

is called the legendary Graug. It is much harder then the other ones. It can also heal very easily. But there is one down side to the monstrous creature. Once you kill him, he is dead forever. He is usually very hard to get to be stunned. You shoot him in the head when he is charging you, just like the other Graugs. When you do this he will hit a wall and be stunned. Them you go up to him jump on his back and start stabbing him. Then you will have to press buttons hurting him.
          Another boss is the Black hand of Sauron. He controls the uruuks and caragors and Graugs. He is easy to defeat but very hard to get to. You don't attack him, you counter all of his abilities and then he dies. Eventually you will want to try to kill his "Guard". His guard is very hard to defeat.The guards name is "The Tower". He is a very hard boss to defeat. He is the hardest boss to defeat in the late game. When trying to kill him you have to start elf draining or branding him. If he catches you he starts killing you then teleports away. When he teleports you are laying on the ground injured, that is of course if he catches you. If you aren't caught and brand him he teleports away injured and you aren't.

Smite Season 2

          Smite season 2 has arrived a few weeks ago. The new season has brought in a new goddess and a new map for conquest. The conquest map was the first map that they ever used. Then they switched it but they have brought the map back. The new goddess is a really strong goddess. Her name is "Bellona" and its the Roman god. The symbol she stands for is "The goddess of war". She is one of the toughest gods in game. She can do many things from using a hammer to a sword. She also uses a mace in some situations. The one time I have played as Bellona was in the arena map. But the game mode it was in was "Match Of The Day". In this match every one was Bellona and could choose the weapon you used. All the characters had the same abilities that the other would have. It was all an even fight but you could choose your own items. The items were the items that boosted up physical power instead of magical power. Bellona is a physical goddess so that means that she can't buy any magical power items so all the items are different from the mage type. Bellona can take on any god/goddess and only few of them can kill her. Her being so strong makes her a higher buy. God/Goddess's usually go for around 5500 favor. But Bellona goes for 11000 favor instead of 5500.

          Lets talk about the items that have been added into the game. One of the items names are "Talarias boots". These boots are for physical power and magic power. That means every character in game can use these boots. They give 40 physical power and 40 magic power. They also give you an 18% speed boost. These boots were originally made for the god named "Thanatos". The name of the boots almost have the gods name in it! Also another new item is called "The Crusher". The crusher is a physical item, you can probably tell of that because it says it in the name. The Crusher took another items spot. It also re places the item and deleted the old item. The reason why it got removed was because the item was really good and was very cheap. That made alot of physical powered gods really good. So all the mages were not as useful as they are now. But they were still good even with the item in the game. The reason why they were so good was because of their item. It is called "Tahuti's Rod". The item was the best item for mages and was the most expensive. It added over 100 magical power. The rod also gave magic penetration, the best thing to get. All of these items combined would make 1 super powerful god.
          Gods are the best part of Smite,Season 1, and of course, Season 2. There are many gods in the game Smite and some have been nerfed and some have been buffed. Nerfed meaning being weakened. And buffed as in being strengthened. One of my favorite gods to play as has changed over the past month or so of Smite Season 2. One of my favorite gods are, Kukulkan. He is the serpent of wind, or as some might say, the god of wind. The reason why Kukulkan is my favorite is because he can maneuver around the map very well. Also he does alot of damage from a distance and can survive alot of hits. His ultimate move is the most strongest move in game. It can do over 1000 damage! Although the ult takes alot of mana it deals damage. But to boost the damage you need to level up the ultimate. Or you can simply just buy items to make it stronger. But adding the items and leveling up the ultimate makes the ultimate really strong. And when the gods get hit by his ultimate they are knocked away from the area that they were hit at. Of course like all his other abilities, it has a certain radius to hit enemies in. They have to be near or in the radius to be able to affect the enemy. Kukulkan can die very easily, unless he is given the chance to run away. In all moments when Kukulkan is about to die, I have ran away and made it alive except for 1 time. The reason why i did not survive was because of another Kukulkan on the other team. I almost made it out alive but he used his ultimate on me. So he could easily kill me and get away with surviving. Most of the time when you get risky and try to go in for a kill you expect enemies to protect them. The people on my team were not there, because they had already died. All in all, Kukulkan is best in most moments but can be very bad in the other moments.
          In the game you have to level up. Leveling up gives you skill points as i mentioned earlier on. With these levels you get all your mana back. While you get your mana you gain some health. The health part does not fill up completely. During the time when you level up or almost you get gold. The gold you get is the based on how far in the game you are. Also it is based on the level you are leveling up to. During the process of leveling there are many ways to get levels. Getting items help you do more damage. With the items that are adding the damage it is increasing how much experience you get. Also there are camps inside of the jungle. These camps are called "Exp camps."They give you experience when you kill the 3 or 2 birds inside. There are 2 minions and 1 big bird. The birds are easy to destroy. The other camp has 2 big birds and no minions. The camp with the 2 big birds is the best one. The reason why is because the big birds give the most exp. Also its the best because they are the toughest. When you think about it, you would think the tougher things give more exp and gold. As well as giving exp and gold, the birds fight back and you have to get lucky and not die. Later in the game you wont use the exp camps as much as you would in the beginning of the game. The reason why is because as you level up it takes more exp. And the camps only give x amount of exp. But you could still kill the camps for the gold it gives off. It usually gives you around 30 gold to 60 gold. Another thing you get from camps that are not exp camps are different. Damage camps give you gold, damage buff, and exp. Speed gives the same thing but a speed buff. But Damage camps are harder because they are the most effective. There is also an attack speed camp that gives the same thing, but it increases your attack speed. The last camp there is, is a mana camp. The mana camp gives you a mana buff and gives the same ammount of gold and exp as the other camps besides damage. All camps give around 30 gold besides the damage camp. The damage camp gives you 50 gold because it is the hardest.
         Lets  talk about the fire giant and the gold fury. The gold fury gives you gold as it says in the name. It gives you 300 gold instead of the normal 30 gold that you get from the other camps. It also attacks you and does damage as well. The gold fury has less health then the fire giant. But the gold fury usually has more health then all the players in the game. The fire giant is the hardest camp in Smite. No matter what season he is always the hardest. He drops a buff that gives you all the buffs at the camps and increases you mana per second and health per second. These buffs are buffed also. For example, the damage camp might give you 30 physical damage and 30 magic damage. Well the fire giant might make it 50 damage physical and magical. Also the fire giant gives around 100 gold instead of the usual 30-50. And the gold fury is on the opposite side of the map. That means 1 team can be killing the fire giant, while the other is killing the gold fury. The teams wouldn't even notice, unless they run to the other one and saw it was already dead. You usually have to wait around 5 minutes for the fire giant to respawn. And 3 minutes for the gold fury to respawn. Also while your waiting it is best to use the fire giants buff and wait for it to run out. Also the gold fury is easier to kill but is a smaller target. The fire giant is tall and wider then the gold fury. That means it is easier to hit the fire giant than the gold fury. The tallness and the wideness makes the fight equal to the gold fury, but not the damage. Although the fire giant does more damage and has more health, his buff is much greater then the gold from the gold fury. I like to kill the gold fury when the rest of my team is killing the fire giant. The reason why I do that is because we get an advantage. It makes sure that the enemy team doesn't have the option to kill one of them. When i get attacked I tell my team and they come over and help me kill them. Also when we kill both of them we meet in the same lane and go for the experience camps. Then we go for the damage camps and then the others. You can have the fire giant buff and 1 other buff. That makes it so that you have a huge advantage over the enemy. While you have the buffs you would not want to go back to base. Unless you get the active "Teleport to gods". It teleports you to a god of your choice every 3 minutes. During the time you go back to base you are wasting to kill the enemies with your buffs that you have gotten. It also gives you an advantage if you buy an item that gives you a lot of damage, health , CDR (Cool Down Reduction), attack speed, movement speed, and mana. Also when you use these buffs the enemies will want to get rid of the buffs really bad. If they don't it makes it so that you can kill them easier. When you kill them it gives you more gold. The more gold you get the more stuff you get. The more stuff you get the more levels you get. The more levels you get the more damage you do. The more damage you do, leads you to winning the game. When you do alot of damage in the game the most likely you are to die. The reason why you are likely to die is because you have less defense. The less defense you have the easier to die. The less damage you do the less kills you get. The best option is to go with defense and damage. Then it means you do damage and can take hits. Or instead of damage you can go mana or health. When you choose the items you want you want to know what role you want to do. For example if you want to go middle lane, it is best if you choose damage and defense. If you choose to jungle you want damage and mana. When you go solo laning you want to choose defense and mana. When you go with someone on the same lane you want damage and mana. Or you could go all damage and nothing else. Sometimes you can go with cool down reduction. The cool down reduction is a good choice if your going to rush a lane. When you rush a lane it is good to keep in mind to always have a back up plan if your rush fails. When the rush fails you try to do as best as you can to survive. If you succeed the rush, you will be rewarded by the amount of gold you got when killing the minions and stuff.
          Lets talk about items that give you "Stacks". These stacks help you in the game. They can boost many things up like camps do. These stacks are based on the god kills you have and minion kills you have. Most of the items give you 5 stacks for a god kill and 1 for a minion kill. These stacks can be very helpful for any time of the game. Some items give you .5 mpsps (Mana per second per stack). That means every kill you get that is a god kill would give you 2.5 mana per second. A minion kill would give you .5 mps (Mana per second). They usually last all game and help alot. One of the items names is "Demonic Grip". Another item is called "BloodForge". Every time you get stacks on an item, it usually gets reset when you die. Some of the items that give stacks don't restart your stacks on death. When you lose stacks you have to re-get the stacks you lost. At least you get to get them again, and not get to at all. These resets can get very annoying and frustrating. It happens to me a lot of the time. Sometimes stacks can be on a timer and reset every time that timer ends. Not very many items have a timer equipped to them. Most items that have a timer is actually not an item. They are usually an ability that the god comes with. Most of the time the ability it is on is the passive. The passive is something that can help the god over time. For example, Kali sort of has a timer on her passive. Her passive searches for a god that is random in the beginning of the game and every time you kill a god another gets randomly chosen. If you die the god that last hit you is your target. The passive doesn't point them out, it gives you extra damage to that god. Once you kill the god that was the one that recently killed you, you get another random god that you get more damage on. Other gods have different passives, that leads us to our next topic.
          Every single god in the game has their own unique passive. For example Kukulkan has his own passive. His passive gives a certain amount of damage for a certain percent of mana. An example of his passive is, lets say you have 3000 mana, that mana will stay there but add 90 extra damage. Another gods passive is Zeus's. His passive creates bolts around an enemy for a normal attack. The bolts around the enemy do damage with his second ability. A max of 3 bolts can be around an enemy. Every 1 of those bolts do a certain amount of damage and add up as you get more bolts.

Advanced warfare

          Advanced warfare is a game on all consoles. I mostly play Advanced warfare on the PC. My favorite game on Advanced Warfare is called Free for all. It is person vs person and has 15 more people in 1 match. No one really teams unless you are in a party with the person but if you are in the party with a person you cant play free for all. Unless someone joins the game of someone that is searching for a match in free for all. They can still kill each other but they are more likely to not to kill each other.
          In Advanced Warfare there is another game mode that has recently came out. The name of the game mode is called "Exo zombies". They are basically zombies but they are much stronger then the average zombie. Some of them have powers, such as an exo suit. Zombies with the exo suit can jump really high and run faster. There is another zombie that is called the electric zombie. It can shut off your exo suit and you cant use your exo abilities. Some exo abilities are super jump, super sprint, and exo slam. All of them require the exo suit that you have to find on the map in a room. Another zombie is called the acidic zombie. When you get hit by the zombie you become infected. You only have 1 minute to get to a station that gets rid of the infection. If the infection stays on you for more then 1 minute then the games ends. All in all, exo zombies can be complicated, but it can also be very simple if you have played the game for a long time.
          Lets talk about another game mode called Exo survival. You get an exo suit forever and you can get random packages at random times. Mostly after you complete a bonus mission within the survival. The survival is just like zombies but is different. They are people and drones trying to kill you while you have to survive for as long as you can. As you do better the more levels that you unlock. There are 4 tiers and to get to tier 2 you have to survive 50 total rounds. For tier 3 you have to survive 125 rounds total. And the last has to be 200 rounds total survived. The maps are different and you get different guns and abilities within these tiers. There are 4 maps in every tier but tier 4. In tier 4 there is only one map and at the end, there are zombies. It is only a short round until you escape the map with a helicopter. In the ending cut scene of the round for tier 4 you are escaping a lot of zombies riding in a helicopter. But that is not all, something very interesting happens, you push someone out of the helicopter out into the zombie horde. I think that pushing the person out of the helicopter was one of the most interesting part in any call of duties that have been made.
          Another game mode I play is called Team Death Match. In this game mode it is a 6v6. That means there is 2 teams of 6 players on each team. You can make your own classes and use them. Or you can use the classes the game provides. There are all sorts of maps you can play as well. You can play all the maps that you own. There are 2 maps that you vote for. The one with the most votes is the map that you play. The one with the least amount of votes you don't. Team Death Match is unique in its own way. The classes that you have can suit the way the game goes in Team Death Match. For example you might use a strong gun but your not very fast. Or you have a weak gun and move very fast. Or you have a medium weapon and move at a medium pace. In Team Death Match you want to be able to move fast. You want to move fast to be able to maneuver around the map alot faster. When you are moving alot faster the more chances of you surviving. The weak gun can come in handy as well. You can shoot the enemy and have your team mate finish the guy off. All in all, Team Death Match is a very simple and easy game mode to play.
          Another game mode I play is called Domination. You have to capture 3 flags. When you get enough points after waiting with the flags you win. You have to wait some time to get the points. You get 1 point with 1 flag 2 points with 2 flags and 3 points with 3 flags. The score you have to get to is 200 total. So either wait 200 secs with 2 flags or go alot faster with all the flags. The flags you don't own the enemy most likely will. That means that they have an advantage over you. Unless your almost done with the game with 100 points and they have 50. The 3 flags are named with their own letter. 1 is A 2nd is B and last is C. The letters stand for words. The letter a stands for "Alpha". The letter B stands for is "Bravo". The letter C stands for "Charlie". B is in the middle of the map and has alot of combat near it. A and C are on the opposite sides of the map and teams usually spawn near one of them and the other spawns next to the other.

World of Warcraft.

          World Of Warcraft is an MMORPG. It is a third person role playing game. You can choose from a variety of different classes. There is also a ton of different races that you can choose. Choosing one of these races can make certain classes better. They get better because of the racial passives. The classes all get different spells and can wear certain armor. The armor can be chosen from: Mail,Leather,Chain. The different classes can be tankier or do more damage, or can move fast. Certain classes are able to go to different places that you can unlock. Also there are factions, Alliance (Good) and Horde (Bad).
          In World Of Warcraft my favorite class is a Druid. I usually play druid on a race called Night Elf.The Druid can transform into different things and can have his own teleport. The teleport takes you to a place called "Moon Glade". In Moon Glade it is all factions and you can not kill each other. There are also NPC's in Moon Glade that can train you in your different skills. Druid has transforms such as a panther. The panther is fast and mobile, the bear is strong and tanky, the moonkin does more damage, and travel form is well a form that makes you faster to travel to different places.
          In World Of Warcraft you can have different talents. 1 talent in World Of Warcraft is called mining. Mining allows you to mine different ores and you need black smithing to make the armor. There are a variety of these talents. It can be from mining to making potions. The potion making talent is called "Alchemy". You need herbs to make the potions. There is a talent to get herbs that is called "Herbalism". You can only have 1 talent but can have different characters. You can transfer items from characters from the mailing system. Its better to have more then 1 character!
          World of Warcraft has a variety of items that you can craft and pick up. These items have different passives. For example you might find a mount (A ride) with flames coming out of its mouth. Or you can find one that changes different colors. Mounts are really hard to find and are usually purchased. The purchased items are purchased from a bank or possibly by an npc. The items you purchase from banks are stored in your mailbox. Then you can click the item in your mailbox and hit receive. Then that item is in your inventory.
          World of Warcraft  has many different places that you can visit. All of the places have something in it even if it just means an ocean filled with sea animals. All areas have at least 6 NPC's. Either if its a person with a quest or a person that you have to kill. There are small areas and there are big areas. Most big areas are the main parts of the game. For example Storm Wind is a really big part of the alliance side. On the horde side there is a big place called Orgrimmar. In these areas there are always a bank, a vendor, a PVP master, a king of some sort, a travel master, a pet vendor, a mount vendor, an inn, and last but not least, a battle pet trainer. Orgrimmar and Storm Wind are the most populated areas in World of Warcraft. In these areas there are big events that can take place. For example there can be a parade outside the walls going into the castle. World of Warcraft is an amazing game and is one of my favorite games.

Robocraft

          Robocraft is a game about robots. You can earn rp and get new parts. You get to design and make your own bots how ever you like. There is also a thing called GC (Galaxy Cash). The GC can be spent on parts as well. But you do have to pay for galaxy cash or buy premium for a month. All these are only few of the characteristics that Robocraft holds.
            Robocraft is also known for the action it holds. You can build your own robot to fight in battles. There are different guns that you can buy and put on your bot. The guns are sorted from the tiers that you are. You need robot ranking to go up in tiers, and items have robot ranking. The main point is to go in battle destroy the opponent in battle and get rp to buy new things, and get up in tiers. The higher tier you are the better stuff you get and more rp you earn. But the prices of the things raise in tiers. There is t1-t10, soon there will be a tIX, (Tier 11). But that is soon to be added on Feb. 18th 2015.
          Lets talk about the guns that you can unlock. There are 3 different guns and 1 melee weapon. The melee weapon is called a tesla blade and can almost instantly kill enemies, but you have to get close. 1 of the guns in Robocraft is called the SMG. The SMG is automatic weapon that shoots slow but grows as you add more. You can have 6 SMG's that shoot but you can have more. Another weapon that Robocraft provides is called a plasma launcher. It shoots plasmas and you can have as much as you want, but you have to have enough space, and they also have a cooldown that grows as you add more, but you deal more damage. Last comes in the strongest weapon, the rail gun. It is just like a sniper, you can only have 6 of these. But they have a long cooldown. They also do alot of damage and end up dying because of how much armor there is.
          Now lets talk about the currencies that you can earn and buy. You can buy galaxy cash but not rp. Rp you have to earn in matches and have to destroy people or help destroy to get rp. When you do better you get more rp. There is also a thing called premium that costs money but you get 2x the amount of rp you get a game.  Rp is something you need to buy the parts that you need. That means rp is one of the most valuable things that you can get. It all depends on what you want if its valuable to you.
          There can be one bad thing about Robocraft. And that is that you need CPU to build parts. If you dont have enough CPU you cant place the part. CPU is a word for the space that you need. You get more CPU every level that you get. You always get a random number of CPU each time you level. It is usually around 13 CPU per level that you get. Levels also take time to get and they are like rp, you get XP(Experience) every game. Sometimes it can take forever to level up, or it can be very fast. All in all, Robocraft is a great game and you would enjoy it.

Smite

          Smite is an amazing video game i play. The game is about gods fighting other gods. There are different objectives and different game modes. One of the game modes is called conquest. Another game mode in Smite is called joust. A 3rd game mode Smite has is called siege. One of the lasts game modes smite has is called assault. The 2nd to last game mode is called arena. The last game mode in Smite is always random, it is called "Match Of The Day".
          The game mode conquest is very unique. The game mode is based off of a 5v5. You have to destroy towers and get to the enemy titan. When you kill the enemy titan you win the game. There are 3 lanes, you can choose 1. You are free to choose 1 at any time. There are also jungles on the side of the lanes. The jungles contain buffs, such as a damage buff. When you win conquest you get the sweet sensation of winning the match and earn experience for the god that you play, and favor to unlock new gods.                                           Just like conquest is a game mode called joust. Unlike conquest it has 1 lane and jungles on each side. The objective is the same as conquest, to kill the enemy titan. Although there is only 1 lane it can be a very long match. Also the joust game mode is a 3v3 and not a 5v5. As well as conquest, you can be any god you want.
          In assault you have 1 lane and no jungles. Also unlike conquest and joust, your gods are randomly chosen. It randomly chooses one of the gods that you own. You have to stick with the god until the end of the match. There is only 2 towers and an enemy titan. Your objective is the same as all the other matches, kill the enemy titan.
          In the match of the day it is always random. It can be a 3v3 to a 5v5. You can have all gods, or randomly pick the ones you want. Start at any level the game wants you to be, (1-20). You can start with a certain # of gold. It can be a certain set of gods that you can be. For example it can be Greek gods against Hindu gods. Also you can get a certain amount of increased gold per kill you get. It can also decrease as you go. Also sometimes you can have infinite mana and lower CDR (cool down reductions).Or you can lower mana and higher CDR. In my opinion i usually prefer Match of the day, unless its bad, then i prefer conquest.
