I have just completed the game LEGO Marvel: Avengers. And just like all the others LEGO games, this one does not disappoint. The game focus on the last two Avengers Movies, with a level or two on the movies Thor 2 and Iron-Man 3. The levels of go through just like it did in the movies, adding in the voices just like in the movie as well. Each character had different moves and abilities then in previous game play. Also adding in the Different hubs were a nice touch, like the s.h.i.e.l.d. base, Barton’s Farm, Sokovia, and even Asgard. Playing Manhattan hub was especially fun mostly because of the different characters get to help along the way. I give the credit to the creators for added in the women Marvel element to the game. Having to help Ms. Marvel, Thor Girl and she-hulk was especially gratifying.  Finally Women Characters are making it big! To top it off you get to help Agent Carter (Retired) and her younger self fight bad guys throughout the city.  I also enjoyed the elements of adding agent Colson and his flying car Lola too. Oh and those Hulk-Selfies was so funny, extra 10 points. All in all I give this game a 10 out of 10, and if it could not get any better the downloadable content, adding at the character and story levels of the Black Panther, Dr. strange, Spider man, and agents of shield were especially good.

          My next game that I plan to play is the new LEGO Star Wars. I’m hearing such great feedback from the game I cannot wait to play. On a final note I plan on adding texture to my model that I created two months ago, it’s on the astronaut. I was having difficulty with my Mudbox program, but now that it is up and running again I will get started on texturing him and then going from there.

I read in the GameInformer magazine there will be three added levels that were not in the movie but will coincide with the game. Words cannot begin to describe how excited I am to play this game. Well that’s all for this week news, I’ll write more in two weeks about the elements of the Lego avengers game. What I found to be fun and any new gadgets for features.

Forgive me everyone for not writing in a long time. Work has been keeping me busy and the small amount of free time that I have had has been playing the videogame Batman: Arkham Knight. I give this game a 10 out of 10! Absolutely the best Batman game of its saga. I would say the greatest point of the game was the ability to drive the Batmobile throughout Gotham city. Blowing up enemy tanks, using my tank x-ray vision to see through buildings, and racing against the clock to apprehend the villains was simply downright cool. Even I wish I had my own transforming Batmobile to tank in my driveway. The game also had its usual bat-gadgets such as hacking terminals and grappling to tall buildings. And we mustn’t forget these stunning bat-glide over rooftops in Gotham. All the fancy gadgets and tools that I wish I owned.

The characters designs have changed as well, and for the better. The exquisite design of each character is beautifully define in their facial features, costume designs, walks and poses, even the choice of their voice actors truly depicted their super villain aspect quite well. For instance Cat-Women a.k.a. Selena Kyle, the design for her had to be believable in all detail. As Selena walked it had to look both sexy and elegance has a female huntress (cat-like). The voice had to be not only soothing but strong, confident. Lastly her look, the leather that she wore had to look and sounds like leather. When she walked you could hear the soft muffle of leather rubbing against each other and when it rains you could see the rain drops fall on the fabric and streak down like a small river; not in a straight line. All painstakingly designs had to be done perfectly in order to make the character believable, and in my opinion it was done wonderful.

The best thing that they could have ever done in this game was displaying the riddles on the map so that you could find them with ease. In the previous games solving Edward “Riddler” Nigma riddles was quite often difficult and sometimes impossible to locate. Awesome job designers!

Spoiler alert, if you have not completed the game do not read the following!!!

I am deeply saddened that this is the final Batman game of this saga. I truly enjoyed playing the ultimate Batman experience. I cannot wait for the next idea of rocksteady’s production.

With that note, I am still completing the add-on missions of the game. For instance the Bat-girls tribute was delightful. Her and wonder woman are my two top female characters in the DC comics. I’m currently working on Nightwings mission and will completed it soon. If you have the chance definitely download as many add-on missions and character skins that you can afford. They are both fun to play and stunning designs out there. I do have a favorite design skin for the Batmobile, it’s the white on black showing the black in the front fights in the back and having bats displayed only on the backside. Here’s a video that I found on YouTube showing at hope you enjoy it.

Last week, I completed the videogame “Thief”. What an amazing game! I cannot believe it took me so long to beat it but it was well worth the wait. I’m giving this game a 10 out of 10. The ending of the game fit perfectly leaving a cliffhanger that was beautiful and quite fitting for the conclusion. I truly hope they make a sequel of the game very soon. BIG NEWS, I just read online that they are making a movie out of the series. I cannot wait for more information about it, they have not released anything on the plot, characters or release date. Can’t wait!!!

It has been a month since my last post and I am still working on the game “Thief”. I have never in my entire gaming career have never played a game like this before. It has been over a month since I started and I am only about halfway through the game. Usually when I play a game, I start in story mode and I goes through the motions of becoming and experiencing that characters physical and emotional ups and downs. But mostly just to have fun. After I beat the game I usually purchase the strategy guide book in order to find all the hidden treasures, and every of upgrade possible in order to get 100% completion.

However this game was completely different. I am playing in story mode to start however, I am following the step-by-step instructions that are followed in the strategy guide. I am doing this is because when I played the first chapter of the game I was running around in circles trying to find treasures to steal and because the level was so big I kept on getting lost which led to me being frustrated. Having the guidebook takes away the guesswork of taking the left path or the right path. It does not take away of the rich experience of going to the game at all. It just makes it easier for me to take that left path, steal the treasure and come out on the opposite side of the right path. Without being seen by guards and without losing any health.

 

I am without question enjoying the game to its fullest even now I am using the guidebook to guide me through the shadows and plundering all its jewels. It has taken me quite longer to play the game and I know that I might not completed it until the end of next month but I am looking forward to the experience. The next game I hope to play is Batman Arkham Knight for the PS4. I did start the game a few weeks ago and have played a few missions and I cannot wait completed. It is like my friends say, a great game, and I look forward to enjoying it. Has anyone played the new Lego Marvel’s Avengers? After I beat Batman that is next on my list of games to play.
