IntroWWE 2K19, is a wrestling game based on the "WWE". I have been playing this game series for about five years now. I have had many great moments while playing this game. I feel that this is a very underrated sport game, compared to other sport games. Such as Madden, Fifa, NHL Hockey, NBA 2k, etc. "The core wrestling does a great job of simulating a WWE match" (IGN). I agree, while you're playing this game everything seems as if your experiencing a real WWE match. Gameplay There are so many controls/techniques that you have to sort of "master" in order to get very good at the game. For example, reversal timing is a very critical feature during game play, that can alter how the match goes in your way. If you don't time a reversal correctly then your opponent will keep damaging you will their moves. Reversing "Finishers" is a must, if you let your opponent land at least two finishers on you, that's most of the time a definite three count/pin fall. If you are good at kicking/breaking out of pins then you don't have to worry about tour opponent landing a lot of moves on you. WWE also has a wide variety of matches to choose from. All of the matches that one can see from pay-per views or on television, are in the game. Me and my little brother love doing ladder and royal rumble matches. Good FeaturesThe Creation suite in the game is my favorite thing in the game. There are many things that you can create in the game. Wrestlers, move-sets, entrances, shows, arenas, titles, etc. You can also download community creations. "2K19 also takes some cues from Mortal Kombat X with their 2K Towers mode, which challenges players to complete themed “towers,” consisting of a series of matches under a unifying theme" (IGN). I love doing the tower's because, it's very challenging. My Career mode, in this year's game, didn't really entertain me so that's why I spend so much time doing towers when I play. Summary

What Is Apex Legends? Apex Legends, is a free-to-play battle royale game. It is also developed by Respawn Entertainment. Many people try to compare the game to other very popular battle royale games. Such as, Fortnite or PUBG, but Apex Legends is nothing like either of those games. Many people and I myself think that Apex Legends has a sort of "Titanfall" vibe going on with it. Also, unlike other battle royale games, you can only play within a squad. There are no solo or duo matchmaking options. Gameplay "It’s another part hero shooter, featuring eight characters called Legends with unique ability sets built for steadfast teamwork" (IGN). Right before the match starts, you have to choose a legend. There are currently nine legends you can choose from before loading in to the match. If your teammates choose the legend you want, you cannot play with that legend. When the match starts you have to jump out of the drop ship, and land at a location on the map. Then of course, loot, kill, and be the last squad standing. There are many different items you can pick up, some relate to healing, some help you gain your ultimate faster (Ultimate Accelerant). There are also there are some great weapons you can pickup. My favorite is the R-301 (Assault Rifle). Additional Info"(It turns out they’re only mostly dead.) A teammate can grab your banner within 90 seconds of your death and make the trek to the nearest beacon" (IGN). If your in a gunfight and you get downed, then "finished off", you can always have another chance to get back into the action. If your teammates are still alive they can get your respawn beacon, and deliver it to a revive spot. If feel that this aspect in the game, really differentiates Apex Legends from other battle royale games. Another cool aspect in the game, is how the legends have their own unique abilities. Legends have passive, tactical, and ultimate abilities. Lets take "Bangalore" for example, her passive ability is "Double Time". It allows her to gain a speed boost when she is shot at. Her tactical ability is a smoke launcher that shoots out three smoke grenades. Her ultimate, is the "Rolling Thunder", it's sort of like a missile strike. SourcesIntroRed Dead Redemption 2 is a Western-themed action-adventure game, developed and published by Rockstar Games. It is a prequel to the 2010 game Red Dead Redemption, and the third game in the Red Dead series. "After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive." (IGN). Main StoryThe main story ranges from chapter one to the "Stranger Missions". " As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him." (IGN). I myself think that the game has an amazing storyline filled with great side missions and how you interact with people at any time while your playing. Of course, some people say that the main story is way too long, but I say that it's great that Rockstar made the storyline long even though there is also a multiplayer or "online" mode in the game that has just been released. Gameplay Of course, the game is open world. One of the game-play features that stick out to me and is kind of funny is how you can "hog-tie" a person. Some of the things that I have seen that people do when they hog tie someone. After they have hog tied the person they choose, they will travel to a swamp and dump the person off by crocodiles and then the crocodiles would eat them. That's very messed up but, its funny at the same time. Rockstar today has just put in the beta version of the online mode in the game so I can't really expand on that very much. The combat in the game is very impressive though. There's this special thing that your character (Arthur) has, which is called "Deadeye". When the meter is filled you have a huge advantage in shooting accurately when shooting at a target. Your horse, which you can change at any time (multiple options), is a very critical part in traveling on the map. Speaking of the map, it is very amazing. The towns look highly detailed, the wildlife you can tell they paid close attention to that, and the little camps on the are even a great aspect of the game. Every character in the game seems almost like real people, well the one that has a role in the storyline. Rockstar has definitely taken there time in creating the personalities and obviously visual appearances in the characters of the game. SourcesWhat Catches My EyeThe new "Battle Royale" type game mode in Call Of Duty BO4 is something that has never been incorporated into a Call Of Duty game before. Blackout is what the game mode is called. "Call of Duty’s responsive and forgiving gunplay, nimble movement, and creative but practical equipment fit beautifully into the trendy last man standing format."(IGN). Even though Call Of Duty's "Blackout", battle royale mode, hasn't surpassed other battle royale games, such as Fortnite and Player Unknown's Battle Grounds. It still is a very innovative and creative way to get people to return to playing Call Of Duty. New MechanicsThinking back to Black Ops 3, in multiplayer, there were characters that you could choose also known as "specialist". With these specialists bring their special weapons that you eventually earn throughout the match. Treyarch kept this same concept in making the multiplayer. They have kept some specialist and have taken some out, while also adding new specialist into the game. My specific new item in multiplayer is the grappling gun. Some items are only available with some specialist. The "Tempest" is my opinion, is one of the best specialist weapons to use, especially in multiplayer. The Tempest comes with the "Prophet" specialist, the weapon stuns your enemy long enough for either you or your teammate to eliminate them. Gameplay"SMGs and automatic assault rifles seem to be the unsurprising go-to weapons in Black Ops 4, as automatic weapons with a high rate of fire tend to be popular in Call of Duty. Many of the 14 maps feature tighter corridors that give those rapid-fire automatic weapons the edge"(IGN). I rarely see people use sniper rifles in BO4 especially because of these small and crowded map designs."The ultimate Call of Duty multiplayer experience"(Metacritic). BO4 feels very "real" in terms of actually shooting the weapon you're using. "From assault rifles to sniper rifles, the weapons you fire have a sense of weight and kick that we’ve only seen from a handful of other first-person shooters, and every kill in a match feels earned(digitaltrends).

What Is Lathe? Lathe creates a 3D object by rotating a shape or NURBS curve about an axis. For example, say if I used the line tool, to create a 2D version of half of a wine glass. First, though, you need to make sure that you are doing all of this in the front viewport in the scene. After I have made half of the wine glass, I will convert my line into an editable spline. Then choose the lathe modifier and it will rotate my shape around the y-axis and create the whole 3D wine glass object. The Lathe modifier so far is my favorite modifier. A Romantic Evening While using nothing but the Lathe modifier. I made a whole romantic dinner set, including, 2 candlesticks with candles in each, a plate, a salad bowl, a wine glass, a water glass, a coffee cup and saucer, fork, spoon, knife, napkin, and a table. Some of the most difficult things that I had problems with was making the coffee cup and saucer. I couldn't find a way to make a hole in the handle part of the coffee cup. Then, by the time some of my classmates found a way to do it, there wasn't enough time for me to finish the model. Except for that, creating the romantic scene was very interesting and a great experience for me. Crazy TutorialsHere are some tutorials that will fascinate you more with working with the Lathe modifier. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtCzGhslj1g www.youtube.com/watch?v=3njWOlermvI Summary
SourcesIs it Interesting? The new Spider-Man game that was released for the PlayStation 4 is a must-have. I don't have the game myself, but I have watched multiple gameplay walkthrough's on YouTube and live streams on Twitch. "I was left delighted at nearly every step of its 15-hour adventure thanks to a surprisingly deep tale that mines the plights of both Spider-Man and Peter Parker to great emotional success"(IGN). The gameplay is very mind-blowing and spectacular, it's almost hard to believe that you can do some of these things in a video game. Unlocking suits, in my opinion, is one the most exciting feature in the game. Gameplay From what I've seen the combat controls in Spider-Man, are way more complex than what you've might have seen in past Spider-Man games. Such as gadgets. There's one gadget called a "web bomb". The web bomb sticks to an enemy after you shoot it out of one of your web shooters. There are much other fun and new combat controls. "His animations are so detailed that no matter the obstacle, I got the sense that I could truly do whatever a Spider-Man could."(IGN). My feature in the game that you can do, is web swings. Swinging through New York makes you feel like the comic has come to life. Web swinging is a very fast, fun and exciting way to transport through New York. "Insomniac has found web-spun gold with Spider-Man’s swinging mechanic, enhancing it with additional moves like a focal point web zip that allowed me to turn any ledge, beam, or satellite tower into a jumping off point to continue my non-stop movement."(IGN)". Also, you get to play as other, character's in the game such as Miles Morales and Mary Jane. Missions/Story Line "At first, I found myself pretty much just punching and dodging, occasionally webbing up a foe so I could focus on a more powerful baddie. But as I unlocked more skills from Spider-Man’s skill trees and gadgets, combat became an improvisational delight."(IGN). The main mission deals with Peter Parker battling these classic foes on the side, but he mainly worries about these masked foes. Conclusion Like I said before, Spider-Man is a must-have game, if it isn't on your wish-list, put it on there. It is always full of action and fun but at the same time controversy. Also if you're confused this Spider-Man game isn't a sequel based on any of the past Spider-Man games. "I wanted Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 to make me feel like Spider-Man: To sail between the high rises of New York City, to nimbly web up hordes of enemies, and tussle with familiar, animal-themed villains. Insomniac Games’ first foray into the world of Marvel handily delivers on all of that."(IGN). I hope that this game review gave you the influence on checking out the game itself and you buying it. SourcesThe Game ItselfFortnite has two sections or areas to the game. The two are "Save The World" and "Battle Royale". I will be discussing the battle royale part of the game. Since I myself think it's far more interesting. Fortnite battle royale is free to play and is a multiplayer game. I choose this game to review because, it brings people from different ages and cultures to play with each other . Also instead of the other typical battle royale games like, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds, or H1Z1. Fortnite has a very unique play asset that sets it aside from those battle royale games. How It Is Played Here is the general overview to playing the game. Up to 100 players are dropped onto a large but constantly shrinking map with the goal of gathering weapons and gear to become the last person or team left standing (IGN). The special thing that sets Fortnite aside from other battle royale games is the building feature. So say if your in a solo match and you get into a gunfight. Instead of hiding behind a tree to reload. You can literally make a wall from one of the three materials(wood,stone, and metal). Or if you decide to take the high ground, you can build a ramp leading up to a mountain or hill top. Battle Royale is more about building than it is about shooting (IGN). There are many things that you can build in Fortnite which really made the game very popular all around the world. Why is It Addicting"Matches on Fortnite's crowded cartoon island play out with more surprise, variety, and laughs than any other battle royale game, though its klutzy fort-building system and the steadily growing library of gadgets and guns can demoralize newcomers before they understand what they've been gifted", (PC Gamer). I find Fortnite very fun along with many other people around the world. I feel that Fortnites cartoony vibe brings a lot of attention to it. One day, I sat my mom down to watch me play Fortnite and she said herself, "All this time I been seeing you play this game I would've never thought it involved killing people". And that's why many parents let their children play this game because it's very censored and king of funny when you get to play it."It’s a game that does have guns and grenades etc but done in a very cartoonish style with no blood or gore. Building and strategy elements are great and bottom line it’s fun and funny. Just make sure to turn off chat and it’s perfect"(commonsense media). Last Words Some last things I want to say. Whenever you have a moment, when you feel bored and have nothing to do. Please download Fortnite Battle Royale, It is available on PC/Mac, Xbox, PlayStation, and iOS. I really do encourage you to have fun and play Fortnite. Sources |
