Assassins Creed Revelations:Race to Platinum

Hi guys
I come to you today with some grave news.
     My copy of Assassins Creed Revelaions has broken, I still have access to the single player world but every time I go into multiplayer it always freezes. As you may know if you know the trophies one of them is a silver trophy awarded when you get to level 20 on multiplayer, unfortunately as it stands I am only on level 18. To get the prestigious platinum trophy you first need to get all the other trophy in the game, and as I won't be able to get to level 20 on the multiplayer I won't be able to get all the trophies. I will try very hard to get the multiplayer back but I have already tried deleting the game data and re-installing it, with no success. In the future I may try and platinum either Skyrim or Assassins creed III when it comes out. I will do another post in the not to distant future telling you my ultimate fate. I hope you have enjoyed our short but sweet journey on my road to platinum. I will continue to post reviews and if you have any thoughts on other series I could do then leave a comment and I will take it into consideration.

Assassins Creed Revelations:Race to Platinum

Hi guys
Keeping you up to date with my race to the platinum trophy.
I have got another 4 trophy including the trophy for getting a perfect den defense without using the cannon. I am really pleased to say that I have now got that trophy in my personal collection. If you have read my Assassins Creed Revelations review you will remember that I said that the tower defense isn't very good but I now quite like it, due to the fact that I am unlocking more and more equipment to use.
Right thats all for now guys if any of you want to comment it would really appreciate it.

News-Uplay and MGSR

Hi guys
Just here to keep you up to date with the news cogs in the gaming world.
    Up first on the dissection table is the very "hot of the press" news in the form of Uplay possibly being host to third-party games to compete with the likes of Origin and Steam this could really revolutionize the way we get digital games specifically on the PS3 and Xbox as they only have PSN and Xbox Live  respectively. This hasn't been confirmed yet so check back soon for another update.

Up next some new Metal Gear Solid Revengence will not repeat no be coming to our counter parts in Japan on the Xbox 360 this is quite shocking as there looked to be no problems with the Japanese version. It does beg the question will it make it to any form of Xbox 360?
Thats all for now folks come back soon for more reviews and hot news.

Assassins Creed Revelations:Race to Platinum

Hi guys
Just here to keep you up to date on how the race to platinum is going. Today I got 4 trophys which were some of the easyer trophys. Something I do want to tell you about is if you want some good armor without having to spend any money the do the Hagia Sophia challenge and at the end you get some Turkish armor which gives you alot more health that you start with. That was one of the trophys that I got today: the silver trophy for completing the Hagia Sophia. I will keep you up to date with any major things that happen in my race to platinum. Bye for now!!

Assassins Creed Revelations:Race to Platinum

Hi guys
In this post I will be outlining my plans for a new posting series I will be doing for the next couple of months. I have already done the full campaign but now I will be chasing down the Platinum trophy for the game. Let me just fill you in on what I have already achieved: I have finished the campaign, found 34 data fragments, found 3 pages and got a handful of trophies. Let me also tell you what I did today: found 8 data fragments and found 5 pages. Like I said I will be doing this in the lead up to Assassins Creed III coming out. I will be getting the game around mid November so for the purpose of having a ticking clock lets work on the 10th of November, that gives me 63 days in which to do this challenge. That should be plenty enough time in which to complete it. Until I have finished this achievement I will be blogging about it every other day or so. I won't be doing in every day as there won't be enough to say about what I have done. I hope you enjoy this road to platinum with me.

63 Days and counting.

News-PES13 and Killzone

Hi guys
By the close of this very year of 2012 the will be a game out that you may have heard of called Killzone this game is an HD collection which will include Killzone 1,2 and 3 this is sure to be a good game that will be value for money as it comes will the full three games including the multiplayer that we all know and love.

Next on to PES 13 today it has been announced that PES will be being released onto the market a whole week before FIFA does the same. This may sound like a very small time but I think it will make all the difference. PES has never been as good as FIFA but I think this year will see a turn in the tide of the sporting world. That is were that one week comes into its own, with people taking about the fact that this new PES is better that FIFA 12 that will lead to more sales of PES and it could go very viral in that one week alone. I think it is very good sales pitching on PES's part.
Be sure to check back soon for more news and reviews.

News-Call of Juarez Gunslinger

Hi guys
Just here to keep you up to date with some gaming news. Call of Juarez gunslinger has been announced today. Now I would just like to take a minute to think why anyone would want to play another Call of Juarez again? The last one was and is one of the worst games out there with bill boards showing the same advert hundreds of times, and there only being 3 shops in the whole of the game! It doesn't really make sense to me to make another game that succeeds a game that was that bad! it is unfortunate that a game is that bad.

This game is quite clearly trying to copy Red Dead Redemption, which it doesn't and won't do.

Speaking of RDR that is the free game of the month with PS+. I have had my subscription for 6 months now and I am loving all of the game that are coming with it.
Thats all for now.

News-Metal Gear Solid 5 Playable Demo

Hi guys
Very short post here to tell you that there will be a playable demo of the newly announced Metal Gear Solid 5 at PAX tomorrow. I won't be there so I can't tell you what it is like. I am quite surprised that they announce a game at an event and then within a couple of days you can play it. Which makes you think that they have had the game under the wraps for a long time and have just been waiting for the right time to announce it.
Personally I think they should have given the game more time to build a reputation before giving a demo to play.

News-Dawnguard won't be coming to PS3

Hi guys
Just here to give you an update on the press release from Bethesda that said that "We have tried a number of things, but none of them solve the issue enough to make Dawnguard good for everyone". This is just an extract from the press release but it tell us enough to know that if you are on PS3 you won't be getting Dawnguard in the near future. They do go on to say that "The PS3 is a powerful system, and we're working hard to deliver the content you guys want" which mean that we may be getting it at some point but not soon.

As you all know I love Skyrim so I am hoping that this expansion will be making its way onto PS3.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Hello my dear audience

On this very fine day I will talk to you about my personal best game of all time.

Quite a build up but lets really look at the game..... NOW

Of the mark you are plonked(yes a real word) in a cart with some other unfortunate thieves and the like on your way to your exaction. The graphics are good until you get really close and the look a bit 2D also the lighting is the best I have seen. Then that all melts away into the background when you are truly released into Skyrim(after about 3/4 of an hour). That is when you really appreciate that no other game will quite give you the same feeling of utter space.... Then some wolves attack and you are sucked into one of many impromptu battles in the middle of nowhere of even in the middle of one of the games many cities. One other thing you will realise is that Skyrim is MASSIVE and I mean MASSIVE. You would be lucky to complete the whole map. The actual campaign is about 30-35 hours. Not bad for a blockbuster game these days. The leveling is so immense you are almost overpowered by it. Almost. Now to address my main 2 problems with the game.1) The lip syncing is horrendous. I mean really bad also Bethesda have used about 50 voices in the WHOLE game. Now that may seem like alot but it really isn't after about 20 mins in the wild you will come across the same voice as in the town you just visited. Those 2 thing I think of as 1 as the are both involving the mouth, but they just take away the realism of  a game that is VERY realistic. My second big problem is the lag. As far as I am aware all the lag has gone, but that is only for people who have PSN, Xbox live or connection to steam. For the people without they have just bought a game that is broken.

For those reasons,bad and good, I have to score this game...

9/10 for the offline experience.

There is no online content.

I hope you have found my review informative, I will shortly be reviewing Mass Effect 2 so stay tuned.

Thank you for reading.

Ed out.
