You're pretty good....

Its time for another top 5 list. This week it is about my favourite Boss Fights.

#5 is one of the saddest boss fights of all time. If you've played Dark Souls you'll know why. At #2 we see Sif, the Great Grey Wolf. Firstly he is a wolf, and they are awesome. Secondly he is only honouring his dead master and trying to stop you from befalling the same fate. Finally when Sif is nearly dead, he starts limping. Sure you needed the ring but it is still a sad boss fight.

#4 is weird. It's one of my favourite bosses who is from one of my least favourite games. I wasn't really a big fan of Far Cry 3 but Vaas is one of the most likeable bosses. Sure he kidnaps you and tries to kill you 3 or 4 times but he is still one of my favourite bosses. There is just something about his level of crazy that makes him a good boss and when you have to kill him it is creative and weird.

#3 is the very first boss battle I played. The giant snake from Resident Evil 1. It turns out it's name is "Yawn" and though it may not be the toughest boss around, when I was a kid it was tough. I mean, it killed (or almost depending on your puzzle skills) one S.T.A.R.S member and it probably killed you multiple times before you learned how to beat it.

#2 is The Joker from Arkham City. The Joker is one of the most iconic villains in Comics, Movies and Video Games. So it was sad when you killed the Joker in Arkham City. We love to hate The Joker and Batman is nothing without The Joker. It was a big shame to see the guy die but you know, he carries on in Batman's nightmares. Also the battle is crazy, so many grunts that throw things at you and on occasion, cars come flying out of the gates.

#1 is kind of obvious. I'm a big Metal Gear Solid fan. So my favourite boss fight is the fight with The Boss. It was a master piece of a fight. You and your mentor. 10 minutes to defeat The Boss. All your training from other the other boss fights come together for this last fight. Snake picks loyalty for his country over his mentor to later learn the truth and abandon the USA.

I'd love to mention Deus Ex: Human Revolution but the boss battles were poorly made and to beat them you had to be cheesy.

This weeks song is "Ultimate" by the very talented DaPlaque. DaPlaque is only about 18 and he already makes better EDM music than most professionals in my opinion. This is his debut song with a record label. Check it out below and until next week.

The New Black Gold

In a future, where people didn't ask for this and stuff gets messed up. Only one man can stop a fiasco. Armed with his sunglasses (which he wears indoors) and a trench coat, Adam Jenson is that man, or what ever he counts as.

Okay. So I watched the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided E3 trailer and was like "I need to play Human Revolution" so I did. I downloaded Human Revolution and within 2 days, it was completed so here is the review. As you can probably tell from the opening it is set in the future where robotics allow people to get replacement limbs, say a robotic arm and these limbs can get "augmented".

*SPOILERS.... Kinda.... Maybe if you haven't played the game.*
You start out the game as human Adam Jenson, the chief of security of Sarif Industries. Sarif Industries gets attacked by some "Augs" (people with robotic limbs) and Adam is left in a near death state while love interest Megan and her team are killed.

After about 6 months Jenson is back, with about 75% of him now being robotic and there is a problem, someone has broken into a Sarif Industries factory. You've got to deal with this. After that you are tasked with tracking the people who attacked Sarif Industries.
*END OF SPOILERS.*

So with that out of the way, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a fun game. Its got a nice art style, a nice black and gold title hence the title. Its a 1st person shooter with cover mechanics. Its mission based with open world aspects.

You choose how you want to do a mission. Want to do a pacifist run? You can do none lethal take downs and use a stun gun and a tranq gun (you'll also get an achievement!). Want to go in guns blazing? Sure, there are a lot of ways to kill things. Whether it be with an AR, stabbing someone with your elbow blades or pushing them off a ledge you can kill people in funny and creative ways. There is even a side mission where you have to kill someone by making it look like an accident.

The game is not without its flaws though. The game does have a hard mode which I do not recommend doing on your first run through (I regret nothing though). Also the bosses are done poorly and some times you have to exploit the game. There is also a section which makes it almost impossible to complete a boss fight.

Overall I'd say this game is worth buying and picking up, especially since it is really cheap now. You won't regret it. And until next time.

This weeks song is "The New Black Gold". I know I featured this last week but I didn't think I'd review this game. So.... yea. Here it is again. Enjoy?

A look at July

So, its boiling in England. Like hotter than we're use to. Luckily we just got thunder and lightning. So here is a look at the month of July.

The most noticeable thing this month is that Windows 10 will be releasing on the 29th. I'd recommend waiting a couple months before installing Windows 10 however.

On the 7th Skullgirls 2nd Encore will release for PS4. I have never played a Skullgirls game so I have no opinion on it. However if you are a Skullgirls fan and don't own a PS4, you might have to give this game a miss.
     On the 8th we see Worms World Party Remastered coming to PC only. I love Worms games. They are funny and easy to play, it's a shame though how it isn't on Consoles as I think they'd work well on Consoles.
     On the 10th we see F1 2015 release. I love F1 games, there is something about driving a fast car around a track that I love. The F1 games capture the essence of being an F1 driver.
     Finally, the only other notable release would be God of War III remastered for PS4. I haven't played a God of War game but they look like fun hack-n-slash games.

This month doesn't have any titles that have been heavily advertised and we can expect that for the next couple months. Its a shame but it allows reviewers to focus on one game or review classic games.

This weeks song is "The New Black Gold" by miracleofsound. If you don't know what the song is about, it is based off Deus Ex: Human Revolution which I completed yesterday for the first time. It really fits with the game's feeling. Anyway until next time.

(P.S from now on I'll be releasing blogs on the 1st, 8th, 15th 22nd and the 29th. This means I have a date to focus a blog on, instead of releasing them randomly through out the week)
