Borderlands 2

The original Borderlands was popular and sold many copies. Now Axton, Zero, Maya and a new character Salvador have come to Pandora to stop Handsome Jack and his Army. The game is a combination of a shooter and RPG and the developers have made those categories work well together. At the start you wake up in the snow and a robot called Claptrap finds you. Clap Traps real name is Cl4p_tp general purpose robot. He finds you and takes you to his house. Clap Trap calls you his Minion. He gives you a gun and then you are off with him. This game uses Cartoon like but real graphics and that style of graphics has never been used in a game before, that was a big risk that Gearbox took. But it was a risk worth taking and that is one of the main features of the game. The rpg side is great and it had definitely improved from the original Borderlands. The shooting is satisfying especially with rocket launches. This game randomly generates guns meaning there are millions of guns but sadly you can't hold anywhere near that many at once. You can store things in safes and upgrade the amount of things you can carry. You can customise your character and purchase skills. Certain skills are only for certain characters. Salvador’s unique skill, is for a short time he can hold two weapons at once, Maya's is she can heal players in split screen and multiplayer, Axton's is he can drop a turret for a limited time and it will kill enemies and Zero's is he can do extremely critical damage. You need skill points to get certain skills. There is a lot of gore and swearing but you can turn  it off. A key feature of this game is split screen and online play. You can play with up to four different people on your own campaign. Pandora will spawn more and more enemies due to the number of players that are playing. Brick, a player character from the first game is no longer available for you to play as in the sequel. That is a bit of a letdown. There is a badass rank and when you level up you have access to new items. At the start of the game it seems bad because you have bad weapons and gear. If you have the first Borderlands you are able to transfer some guns and skills over which gives you an advantage. This game has a lot of game play time with up to twenty to thirty hours of story missions and if you add the rest of the missions it is around fifty hours of game play. You are able to drive vehicles and there are four seater vehicles. One for the driver, one for the gunner and two back seats. There is not a big selection of vehicles to choose from. The bosses aren’t too hard or too easy. There are grenades, grenade mods, invisible shields and much more. Sometimes you won't be able to find places but it eventually works out. This game is great. I give it 9/10. This game receives a best game of the year award.

Minecraft

Minecraft is a game that lets you use your imagination to create almost anything. You can build things, mine for minerals like diamond, play with animals, fight mobs and much more. There are two modes creative and survival. In creative mode you have unlimited resources and you can fly, spawn animals and more. In survival mode there is a day and night cycle and you will need to gather resources to survive. At night, mobs come out and you can shelter in your house or fight them and collect their loot. You have the option to make servers and let many people play on them or have private ones where just you and your friends can play. Minecraft is most fun with a friend because you can work together or just have death matches. The worlds are made of 3D blocks and pretty much everything is a block. You can craft items such as weapons, food, potions and special blocks on survival mode. You need a crafting table and multiple resources to combine to craft. You can build almost anything in this game. I give it 9.5/10. This game receives a best game of the year award.

Video Game Central News Week 4

This week we take a look at The Last Of Us and we also look at Medal Of Honours history and the next gen consoles.

Naughty dog have recently released their new game The Last Of Us. You might have seen trailers on this game and you can tell the developers have tried to make it as real as they can. They have tried to make the game slightly like Uncharted. It is set in the close future and there is an infection called Cordiseps Virus. Anyone it infects turns into a zombie. Pretty much everyone is either infected or dead. You play as Joel and have a girl called Nellie to help you. You are 2 of the few survivors. Naughty dog are master story tellers and in this game it really shows. From characters talking while you are moving and epic cut scenes. This is a must get game.

The first game from the Medal Of Honour series came out in 1999. Since then there have been thirteen games up to the latest one Medal Of Honour Warfighter. The games are Medal Of Honour original, Underground, Allied Assault, Frontline, Rising Sun, Infiltrator, Pacific Assault, European Assault, Heros, Vanguard, Airborne, Heros 2, Medal Of Honour (2010), Warfighter. The big question is have the series been a waste.

That’s this weeks poll. Have the Medal Of Honour Series been a waste. Go To Poll
Last weeks question was what is better ios devices or consoles. The majority said Consoles are better. Thanks for voting.

A few weeks ago we brought you a story about the next gen consoles. Here is an extension to that story. The official price for both the PS4 and the Xbox One have been announced. The price for the PS4 is $549 and the Xbox One is $599. They will be released some time at the end of 2013.

Tune in next time for more gaming news on Video Game Central News.

Plants Vs Zombies

Plants vs zombies is a stratergy game for ios, PS3, Xbox 360, PC and Mac. Armies of zombies that want your juicy brains attack your house and you have to stop them with, of course, an army of plants. In the game at daytime suns fall from the sky and they also come from sunflowers. Suns allow you to make more and more plants. If you don't use stratergy and plan your attacks the zombies will reach your brains and you will lose. Placing wallnuts and sunflowers everywhere won't work against any zombie because they don't shoot. Placing a few pea shooters with one or two disco zombies coming won't work either. You won't win if your stratergies aren't well thought out. There are different levels like the backyard and the rooftop which is nice. There are minigames, achievments and challenges as well as the campaign. I noticed the controls on the ios device are easier than the PS3 Xbox 360,  PC and Mac. This game is good for young gamers and I give it 7/10.

Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception

Even though it was a while ago I still remeber playing and reviewing Uncharted 2 because it was a 10/10 game. The good news is Uncharted 3 is even better. The campaign is great and Drake is on a journey to find Francis Drake's lost treasure. There is a few puzzles that are really hard to solve. The shooting is great and now you can hit enemies with items. The best bit is near the end of the game you get to jump out of a plane. The story is great like every Uncharted game. There is still a limited amount of guns but there is many different ones but that dosen't really affect the game. The cut scenes can go on forever but they are the best cut scenes I have ever seen. You now get to ride horses. I didn't get to use the multiplayer and Co op mode because I was one controller down and didn't have an internet connection. The multiplayer modes are every man for themselves deathmatch where you have to try to kill as many players as possible and try not to get killed. The other mode is Team deathmatch where you are on a team and have to try and kill as many players from the other team as possible. I was able to view the multiplayer maps and there a quite a few and they are big. The graphics aren't top notch but the're good. This game is amazing 10/10. This game recieves a best game of the year award.

Uncharted 4

Naughty Dog have not yet announced Uncharted 4 but with the success of Uncharted 3, Uncharted Golden Abyss and The Last Of Us there is an extremely high chance they will make Uncharted 4. All the Uncharted games were great and Uncharted 4 is an exiting new step for Naughty Dog

Why Uncharted 4 Will Need PS4?

Uncharted 4 Will need the PS4 due to graphics, cut scenes and game play. The PS3's hardware will not be strong enough to display cutting edge graphics, cut scenes and game play. If gamers want that in a game they will need the PS4.


Graphics

Uncharted 4 should have the best graphics we've seen in a game. The PS4 will allow it to have outstanding graphics.


Game play

Naughty Dog will be improving on Game play. They should make those running section more intense and the variety of weapons.

Uncharted 4 should be great we just have to wait and see.

Video Game Central News Week 3

This week on Video Game Central News we look at the soon to be released game Lego Marvel Super Hero’s and we look at consoles vs ios devices.



When Lego Batman 2 was released with a variety of superheros we knew a big Lego superhero game was coming and now Lego Marvel Superheros is soon to be released. Most Lego games have been successful but will Lego Marvel Super Hero’s sell well and live up to its expectations. This game is a mix of many Superheros in one game. It is not known if the game has multiplayer but it should be great even if it doesn’t have it. You can preorder it now at EB Games.

It is said that now days ios devices have console quality graphics but is this true. People have been saying my Iphone 5 is better than my PS3. It is true that ios devices have good graphics but better than consoles. The controls on ios devices are annoying at times like when you need to tilt the screen or press tiny on screen buttons. Consoles are thick and have powerful hardware. ios devices are small, thin and have laggy hardware. What do you thinks is better ios devices or consoles.


That’s this weeks poll do you think ios devices are better than consoles. To vote click on the link taking you to the poll. Last weeks question was what game do you think is better Call Of Duty Ghost or Battlefield 4.
 90% said Call Of Duty Ghost and 10% said Battlefield 4. Thanks for voting.

Video Game Central News Week 2

2 June 2013
 This week on Videogame Central News we look at rumours about Uncharted 4, Call Of Duty Ghost, Battlefield 4 and the Xbox One

There have been rumours about Naughty Dog making Uncharted 4. With the selling of Uncharted 3 and the Last Of Us, it seems like they would be making an Uncharted 4. The title will be something like Uncharted 4 Atlantis. Naughty dog have not yet said anything about Uncharted 4 or announced anything yet. With the next gen consoles heading our way this will be one of the best uncharted games yet.

It has been announced that Call Of Duty Ghost is real and the release date. The official trailer is already out. Call Of Duty Ghost is a fresh new start for the Call Of Duty franchise. There will be  new characters, new weapons and new maps. It will be released on the PC, PS3, XBOX360, PS4 and XBOX ONE. The release date is November 15th 2013. You can pre order it now.


Dice have announced they are making Battlefield 4. Battlefield 3 was great but now Battlefield 4 is coming our way. With insane graphics and mad explosions this game will be a killer. PC players will be able to enjoy 64 player multiplayer and graphics as sharp as their hardware goes. The PS3 and XBOX360 version will be limited to 24 players due to hardware. DICE said it will be possible to have 60 players if they cut down the graphics and explosions. The next gen consoles like the PS4 and XBOX ONE will have no problem keeping up with the PC though. The release date has not yet been announced but the trailer is already out.

This weeks question is what game do you think will be better Battlefield 4 or Call of duty Ghost? To vote leave a comment stating your opinion. To help you decide here are links to the Battlefield 4 trailer and the Call Of duty Ghost Trailer.

Uncharted 2 Among Theives

Uncharted was known for being an amazing adventure game and now we have Uncharted 2. The main Character is Drake and he sets out on an adventure to find Marco Polo's Lost Fleet. At the start of the game you are with your friend Flint. Well he's your friend for now. You rob a museum taking down guards, dodging lasers and walking in sewers. When you have found the artefact and the clue to the next step, he climbs out with a rope, leaves you in there,  shoots a glass cabinet to set of the alarms and you are trapped. You have to escape and Flint becomes one of your arch enemies. There is a small section before this that involves a train with you inside falling off a cliff. This game has one of the best campaigns I've ever seen in a game. The environments are amazing and I loved the scene when you were in a collapsing building. Drake’s friends such as Rose and Sully help him out and many more. The cut scenes are very long but they are great. The game play is fantastic as well.  There are only 10-15 weapons in the game. It does get overwhelming at times with the number of enemies attacking you. That only happens a few times in the game though. I ended up jumping off cliffs for fun to see what would happened. I didn't get to play the multiplayer mode but just the campaign is good enough to give this game an extremely high score. After all this game is really amazing and full of action. I recommend it to anyone I give it 10-10.
This game receives a best game of the year award.
