The Walking Dead 400 Days DLC

A bit late to the gun show I know, we had the new Walking Dead DLC come out last Thursday. This isn't a story about Clem or any of the original members of season 1.


400 days isn't season 2, it's 5 mini episodes just to tide you over till season 2. While playing you'll notice that your choices in season 1 can be seen in these episodes, such as with Russell, hide and you'll see someone familiar.

Again, with Russell, you meet this weird fella, Nate? And one thing you might not notice is the shot out light on his truck, hmm. When you play Wyatt you shoot out someone's front light, could Nate be the one who was chasing Wyatt and his friend Eddie? What about the prison guard who ran away from Vince's story, then Wyatt/Eddie hits, that Russell has the option of killing at the gas station.

Even though it's DLC, there are so many options to it, and the only time you can see the effects is the end, where you see you will possibly be joining you at a later date.

Feeling to much excitement for season 2!

Now I'm going to link you to my favourite Let's Play (I'm a total Yogscast Hannah fangirl)

FF XIV: A Realm Reborn

So we have Final Fantasy XIV Online coming out this summer.... again, what do we think of this?

I've lost my love of Final Fantasy recently, don't get me wrong I'll play VI to X anytime of the day! Love the story and the music is amazing! Can play XII occasionally, Balthier is kickass. But I'm not big on MMO's and just felt like XIII was something too different (wasn't a big fan on the music and characters were meh too me) but I know other people think it's a great game, that's just peoples opinions. So I'm not sure if I'll give this a shot yet.

Especially as it's the re release 

I managed to play a little bit of the beta at my brother's earlier this year, just went for the Hyur so I wouldn't waste too much time making the character. Even though I spent a while trying to find the 'right' hairstyle.

I managed to get lost easily, but that's because I'm silly and don't know how maps work, derp.

One thing to say about this, is that is so beautiful. As my brother's computer is much better than mine, I could play it with full everything. Fuuuck son.

So I got to do a few quests in Gridania, just simple kill a few monsters, save a farm, pick up some apples, deliver some post kinda quests (I didn't actually do those) it was just fun and so smooth to play, I didn't chat to anyone in-game, as I'm not big on that, one day maybe. I think I'm scarred from when I played WoW a few yeards ago XD.

But yeah, this was just a wee ramble about nothing really!

Lego LOTR

Bought this game when I was in Dundee as it's something that I've wanted since it came out (if you couldn't tell I'm a proper LOTR geek)


As I find with every Lego game, the controls are awkward, I know that it's my fault though, I'm just terribad with them.

The problem I find with this game, is when you play co-op and if you both switch characters at the same moment, you also switch screens.... I don't understand why! And imagine if it happens during a hard part :( Much panicking ensued. But Lego makes up for it with much humour and damn adorableness. We see a lot of the comic relief that Gimli brings in the films, and this is fine! It is used in a way that makes it nice for kids and adults, especially when Gimli grabs Legolas' arm in Paths of the Dead.

Don't get me started on dwarf tossing.

Or Gimli riding Shadowfax.

Seriously though, if you are a fan of the books and films, get this game, it's so good <3

Legend of Zelda Inspired Pieces

 I should start by saying that I have never played a Zelda game in my life, well, that's a little bit of a lie. I played the beginning of the first one, I think, and the beginning of a Gamecube one, starts with a ship?

See? I have no idea!

But I was asked by many people if I would make some, and of course! I'm always open to requests and I do like the Legend of Zelda story/Universe.

Na'vi

Link head

I'm going to make full body versions of Link and Princess Zelda, and maybe the baddie (Ganondorf?)

Hm

Rayman Legends

So we had a new trailer for Rayman Legends at E3, now I couldn't help but stare at this young lady.

Barbara the Barbarian.

Ubisoft has decided to give her some gravity defying assets, as we can see at work below


We actually see them jiggle at 0.27, whuuut?

I'm just slightly dissappointed as I always thought that Rayman was aimed at young kids, and I dunno, it just seems inappropriate and unneeded.  And you can see from the comments that no-one is interested in the game, just the tits :/

Last Of Us

So I've only recently heard about this game and I just brushed it off as a Fallout-esqe game (I've only played the 1st one when I was a young'un and was terrified by it, so I've never played any of them since, even though I know they are meant to be amazing games, maybe one day I will). It's caming out around the time that we have Tomb Raider, Walking Dead and Uncharted, which it looks a combination of to me.


Of course I have never read anything about it or watched any of the trailers.
Looks unbelievable pretty

Oh. My. Fucking. God. 

I remember wiki-ing The Road a few years ago, after I had watched The Book Of Eli, which is fantastic btw, I just remember how interesting it was that someone would go so far to help out a child that wasn't there's, that their survival meant more to them than their's. I hope that Naughty Dog will keep this in the Last Of Us, and that the girl, Ellie, will be able to help you, Joel, out, maybe like Elizabeth in Bioshock Infinite!
Gameplay trailer

Also it's Troy Baker! adjlakhgjlglajg. (Do you think we'll get to ride horses??)

Now to get a PS3 :(
