The Orange Box

Today I will be talking about the popular game The Orange Box. In the The Orange Box you will be able to play 5 games. The games are half life 2, half life 2 episode 1, half life 2 episode 2,portal, and team fortress 2. I'll start with half life 2. in half life 2 you play as Gordon freeman a physicist for black mesa west fighting the combine an alien force accidentally let onto earth by Gordon freeman in the black mesa compound which leads to the combine totally conquering earth in 7 hours. half life 2 episode 1+2 are basically the same but have a different storyline. Now I will be talking about portal. This dark humored game is a first person puzzler where you are stuck in a aperture science facility doing an impossible obstacle course with the help of the aperture science hand held portal device and GLaDOS(Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System) who will continually lie to you, give deadly advice, and have a constant obsession with cake. throughout the game you will knock over turrets avoid pools of water and make portals. now it is time for team fortress 2. Team fortress 2 is a online multiplayer game were all you can do is kill take territories and have fun. In my next post I will be talking about EA games horrifying third person shooter Dead Space.

Grand Theft Auto 4

In this posting I will be talking about Rockstar Games Grand Theft Auto 4. In GTA4 you play as Niko Bellic a immigrant from Europe who moved to liberty city to start a new life with his cousin Roman. In the beginning you start when you get off the boat from Europe. The trouble starts when Roman gets into trouble with loan sharks and you end up killing the loan sharks and working for their boss Vlad who you kill after about a half hour after you meet him. when you kill him you meet Dimitri who will be the antagonist throuout the rest of the game. Then after you meet dimitri he quickly betrays you and you will want to kill him. Keep playing and you meet Brucie a loud mouth roid monkey who you quickly get to know. That was the main story now I will talk about the multiplayer the only game type I have played is free mode were you get to do what ever you want so basically what i am saying is liberty city is your sandbox but your playmates aren't so nice. if you do it with friends it is not so bad but if it is public it is insane just random killing and getting run over by a car all the time. There is one DLC for G.T.A 4 The Lost And The damned. In the The Lost And The damned you are a biker and you do stuff and look cool... OK i haven't played it yet but it looks awesome and it is basically a new campain for G.T.A 4. that is about it in my next post I will be talking about the Orange box.

The game starts when you are born when you get to choose your name your gender and your appearance. The screen will go white then you will be a one year old toddler who has to walk to his or her dad and then read the your special book where you choose your attributes. After that your dad will come back into the room and read your mothers favorite passage from the bible.

Once again you will fast forward until you are 16 and you have to take the G.O.A.T yest to determine your job in the vault. And finally you will fastforward to age 18 when your dad leaves the vault and you decide to follow him.

Once out of the vault you head to the town of megaton were you have a choice blow up the nuke in the middle from of town from a safe distance at ten penny tower or disarm the bomb and be a good person.

Halo wars

Hello people this is my first blog post and in my future posts I will be talking about different video games. and in my first post I will be talking about Halo Wars!

Halo Wars takes place 20 years before the events of Halo Combat evolved. In the campaign you follow the adventures of the U.N.S.C Spirit Of Fire as it fights the alien covenant. When you do the campaign you can use leader powers from the Spirit of Fire like cryo bomb carpet bomb and mac blast.

In multiplayer you can only use one leader power depending on the leader you choose. If you do not want to play as the U.N.S.C you can play as the covenant but both have there advantages and disadvantages. The U.N.S.C has a smaller army size but its units are more powerful the covenant on the other hand have a larger army but have weaker units excluding the scarab and the leaders. The U.N.S.C leader you choose will greatly change your play style the same goes for the covenant.

The games leaders all have there own powers which give you a unique tactical advantage like the mac blast is good for destroying enemy bases wile the carpet bomb is best used for killing enemy units the cryo bomb is usually used to freeze large enemy units wile your friend uses a mac blast on them. The covenant have very powerful leaders on the field which can destroy an entire army by themselves or use there power to destroy an enemy base.

That is about all I have to say about Halo Wars next post will be about Bethesda studios Fallout 3.
