Game Review

Minecraft
 
Minecraft is a newly released survival game for the PC. this single player game spawns you in a randomly generated world where you have to build a house and make tools to survive the nights against zombies and skeletons, whose only intent is to destroy your building and kill you.  

In this game the world is never ending with the world expanding the further you go.  There is no goal except for surviving so the whole aim is to build whatever you want e.g. a castle, a house or whatever you need to survive. you are not limited to just building houses you can make water slides with mine carts and tracts. 

You are not limited to just the above ground with the newly released 'hell' update, you have to venture into 'the slip' a world with pigmen, ghasts (flying jellyfish who fire balls at you) and new material which can help you make new equipment all with the constant fear of falling into lava or the ground falling below you. 

Minecraft multiplayer, on the other hand, is another creative game made with no fear of zombies and skeletons sneaking up on you and killing you.  this means that you and your friends can build multiple castles and anything you can think of, this  is where the whole fun begins. 

This game is very Artificially Intelligent as the zombies and skeletons try to shoot you, and hiding so that you can't see them. In conclusion, this game is a great game and you should go out and purchase it and try to defeat the zombies.
Overall, this is a great game I would have to give it a 7/10





Halo 2

Halo 2 for vista was released in ___ for PC By Microsoft. This game has both the single player and multiplayer and is playable online through LIVE.

Single player game is set in the future where earth is being invaded by the convent and alien race set on conquering earth. You play the hero, mastercheif, a super human soldier who must defend earth. The game has amazing graphics with many weapons, vehicles and power ups ready for you to save the world with.

In this FPS (first person shooter) the single player is in depth with aliens you have to verse. All of these aliens realise when you come and attempt to dodge your bullets and your grenades and when they think they can’t kill you they run back and when they think they cant kill you they run back and group up. The intelligence of the AI increase when you change the AI difficulty e.g. the aliens will miss a lot and get hit by grenades but if the difficulty is raised the computer will react faster and land more hits.

In multiplayer there is no AI it is all online play versing other players around the world on maps. This can be from 1-1 to 8-8 games and with many different game types available including race, oddball (someone has to hold a skull while you all defend it), CTF (capture the flag), KOTH (king of the hill, defending a spot on the map) and Slayer (classic kill them all).  All of these games can be played as a team or solo and people are always playing them.

Overall a great game with a long playtime and a never ending multiplayer experience. 8/10 single player 9/10 for multiplayer.






Assassins Creed

This is a single player game released on the PS3 and Xbox 360. It was released in November 2007.

You begin in Israel in the time of the third crusade where play the main character named Altar you are an assassin and a member of the brotherhood (a group of assassins) and after killing an innocent person in an assassination you are punished  with all your weapons taken away and are forced to murder 9 important people in that time.

As the game goes on he receives his weapons or a skill with every kill. He learns more with every killing and soon realizes that they are all related and are all members of the Templers (antagonists) and has to kill they leader Robert de Sabl. He also realizes that they are after The Pieces of Eden which has the power to control people. In the end his master has stolen it and used it to control on the people of the town and plans to take over the world. Altar now believes that he has to kill his master in order to release the people. He does and the game ends.
             
The AI in this game is very good because with every kill it signals the guards and they chase you madly until you can find a good hiding spot. They act as if you were a real person and talk to you when you go past and call you names. This makes the game feel more real and helps the you understand what the people were like in that time.

Overall it is a solid game with great AI. 8/10
