Space Engineers is a very fun, voxel based space sandbox, where you build space ships then battle other people’s space ships and fight their crew. You can ram your ship into theirs and board it or you can open fire and just rip it apart, the choice is yours! The game is based on the V-RAGE engine developed by KSH (Keen Software House), the V-RAGE engine stands for volumetric rage, the ability to destroy the environment around you.

The game is also in early alpha stages and FAR from done, I believe they may add planets and more weapons.  I also think that the game has HUGE potential if the potential is unlocked and developed very well. The ship building mechanics are very good and you can also build space stations.  They allow you to start with a small ship block, large ship block or space station block and you can build many ships and space stations.  This game is like Minecraft and Kerbal Space Program combined! (If you have never heard of Minecraft or Kerbal Space Program before you should really check them out!

The next Installment of the Assassin’s Creed series looks like it  is going to be amazing, with the beautiful graphics and dynamic weather system. The world is huge, with over 50 main locations and hundreds smaller random places, the amount of time to build the world, without the textures, meshes, sounds, characters, scripting, etc. must have been huge, some rumors say that they have been working over two years on the game.

Happy gaming,

THE STORY-
So, we all heard about the “Stupidly silly, stupidly good game” -IGN and I am pleased to say what they said is precisely accurate. The new Saint’s Row is even less serious than the last one, which wasn’t close to serious! When Earth is invaded by aliens, who decides to save Earth? Only the Third Street Saints, who have gone in the course of three video games from a street gang to the White House, equipped with Mech-suits, laser guns, swords and more. The Saints defeat Zinyak, the alien overlord, relieving him of his empire of aliens and other races from other planets. But, in the process Earth is destroyed and the Vice President betrays you (the player)! The Saints take the throne and then the game comes to a dramatic ending with you (the new overlord) sitting on a golden throne with a scepter toped by a fleur de lis.

THE GAMEPLAY-
Saint’s Row IV plays like the other Saint’s Row games, fast paced, third person action shooter with amazing graphics and a very memorable story with twists and turns. The gameplay is semi-easy for an experienced gamer and there is a good and refined weapons upgrade system with a lot of upgrades and skin choices. I also like the fact you have to “hack” (a simple puzzle) into stores to buy things from them and the car upgrade system is very cool.

THE PROS-
Funny
Memorable
Interesting
Refined
Good upgrade system
Good XP level up system
Cool gameplay
Good graphics

THE CONS-
Some cars are hard to control
The police AI is easy to fool (just hide in a store)

Overall, I give this game a 8.5/10, I highly recommend this game!

Happy gaming-
Ethan

Garry’s Mod is one of my favorite video games yet, you can have the characters do silly poses, screw around with your friends building catapults, spaceships and cars and a lot more!

I enjoy going on to a DarkRP server (a type of roleplay) and building our base and then raiding other’s base’s, I also enjoy posing characters in weird and funny poses, such as this!

(If anyone has played Garry’s Mod or Half Life 2 they will get the reference!)
