Today, I want to inform you all about what Microsoft are offering on Games with Gold this month, Saints Row The Third! Starting May 16th, 2014 Gamers all over the world will get to play this epic game!
Microsoft’s scheme to get more gamers on Xbox live gold is great as it bring gamers 2 games free every month. Saints Row The Third was great when I played my mates copy, but I never got round to buying it hence I don’t have it.
1) Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox 360, Playstation 3)
My favourite Grand Theft Auto game as you can probably tell is Grand Theft Auto V. Grand Theft Auto V takes you back to San Andreas with the addition of Blaine County.
2) Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (PC, Xbox, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Android, iOS)
My second favourite Grand Theft Auto game is San Andreas. Grand Theft Auto introduced the 3rd world in the 3D era of Grand Theft Auto games, San Andreas. One of my favourite parts of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas was that you had to eat to stay alive.
3) Grand Theft Auto IV (PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 3)
My third favourite Grand Theft Auto game is Grand Theft Auto IV. Grand Theft Auto IV is the first instalment in the HD-era of Grand Theft Auto games. It also featured a redesigned Liberty City based of New York.
4) Grand Theft Auto III (PC, Xbox, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Android, iOS) / Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories (PS2, PSP)
My fourth favourite Grand Theft Auto game is Grand Theft Auto III / Liberty City Stories. Grand Theft Auto II was the first Grand Theft Auto game to be fully 3D. Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories is linked into this part because it happened before the happenings in Grand Theft Auto III.
5) Grand Theft Auto Vice City (PC, Xbox, Playstation, Playstation 3, Android, iOS) / Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories (PS2, PSP)
My fifth favourite, not to say my least favourite is Grand Theft Vice City / Vice City Stories. Grand Theft Auto Vice City introduced a brand new world, Vice City (based on Miami). Vice City is the second 3D Grand Theft Auto game. And again Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories is linked into this post because it happened before the happenings of Grand Theft Auto Vice City. I have included the 10th Anniversary trailer because it was easier to find.
1) Grand Theft Auto V
My favourite game at the moment is Grand Theft Auto V, Rockstar North’s newest addition to the Grand Theft Auto series. If you haven’t played Grand Theft Auto V yet, your missing out!
2) Forza Motorsport 5
Turn 10’s latest addition the the Forza franchise released alongside the Xbox One. Forza Motorsport 5 is Turn 10’s best racing game to date! This tops both Need For Speed and Gran Turismo!
3) Ryse: Son of Rome
Crytek’s hit game Ryse: Son of Rome launched alongside the Xbox One. Ryse: Son of Rome runs on Crytek’s CryEngine. The graphics are amazing and is overall a great game.
4) Assassin’s Creed II
Ubisoft’s launched Assassin’s Creed II back in 2009, since then Ubisoft has released 11 Assassin’s Creed games since then but I think they all fail to top Assassin’s Creed II.
5) Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is the title witch gave the GTA franchise the sales it needed to be a success. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is the second best selling Grand Theft Auto title ever sold!
It is now 2014 and its time for me to revile my favorite posts of 2013.
1) For my #1 favorite post of 2013 I have picked ‘Games I’m Looking Forward To‘ because it was easy to write and short. ‘Games I’m Looking Forward To’ features 3 games I am looking forward to their launch dates.
2) For my second favorite post of 2013 I have picked ‘What Grand Theft Auto V is missing‘ because it was easy to write and it featured on of my favorite topics. ‘What Grand Theft Auto V is missing’ features 6 things Grand Theft Auto V is missing or something that needs improvement.
3) Since i only decided to pick 3 favorites, ‘2014: A year of great games from Ubisoft‘ is my #3 favorite post because it was easy to write and quite short. I wrote ‘2014: A year of great games from Ubisoft’ yesterday, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
For the last post I write in 2013 (even tho this post got published in 2014) I wanted to put in my ‘Welcome To My Profile (Jan 2014)’ Scratch project in this post. You can find it at http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/15177922/. I also want to let everyone see this beauty.
For my last post this year I want to inform you all about what Microsoft are offering on Games with Gold in January, Sleeping Dogs! Finally Microsoft brings a brilliant game out onto Games with Gold. 🙂
Microsoft’s scheme to get more gamers on Xbox live gold is great as it bring gamers 2 games free every month. Sleeping Dogs was great when I played the demo, but I never got round to finding it in a shop hence I don’t have it. See you next year 🙂
1) Watch_Dogs
For the first game I’m looking forward to I’ve picked Watch_Dogs a mix of Grand Theft Auto and hacking. Watch_Dogs has amazing graphics, an alright sized and dynamic world. Here is a video showing off Watch_Dogs’ beauty.
2) Quantum Break
For the second game I’m looking forward to I’ve picked Quantum Break. From the creators of Max Payne, Remedy brings yet again another amazing game, Quantum Break and if you don’t believe me watch the video below.
3) The Crew
And last but not least, The Crew. The Crew yet again brings us another brilliant racing game. Time after time Forza Motorsport and Need For Speed bring us new experiences and brilliant graphics and I expect no different of Ubisoft with, The Crew.
In this post I am talking about things that I think Grand Theft Auto V is missing, they may or may not of been present in previous Grand Theft Auto titles.
1) In the first thing I think Grand Theft Auto V is missing is something present in a previous GTA title, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, eating. Eating was a big thing in GTA San Andreas, if you didn’t eat you would starve to death, making the game more realistic. This is something I was expecting in GTA V even though it was not present in Grand Theft Auto IV.
2) More shops, Clothing stores and Gas Stations! Alright I understand a game takes a long time to make but they still cant make more shops and gas stations and all of them be able to access inside! I know GTA IV didn’t have many either but GTA V is a step up from GTA IV!
3) Better online version! If you read my first post you’ll know I have a problem with infinite loading screens on my character 1. Grand Theft Auto Online was full of problems from day 1! I wouldn’t of minded them waiting until 2014 to get a great online experience rather than having a problem-filled online experience!
4) Internet cafes. In Grand Theft Auto IV the idea of Internet cafes was introduced, sure they are no longer needed because you can access the Internet from your phone but still it adds a charm to the game and GTA V is pretty empty, for its size!
5) GOOD GRAPHICS! Sure Grand Theft Auto V is one of the best looking current-gen games out but its still being beaten by Grand Theft Auto IV mods! Now I’m not saying the graphics are rubbish, there great but for a 5 year in the works game I was looking for better.
6) Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC version! I know Rockstar are looking to leave current-gen consoles with an amazing game such as they did with Grand Theft Auto San Andreas but for such a great game a Xbox One and PS4 would be great otherwise I’m going to be playing Watch_Dogs more than GTA V. And as for a PC version, a PC version is essential! There’s been a PC version for all all the main GTA games. Luckily there’s still time to release a PC version and I hope they do.
Hello there,
My name is Jamie and this is my first post on my new blog!
Today I want to talk about the problem(s) I have had on Grand Theft Auto Online since Launch.
1) The Infinite loading screen:
Every time I go on Character 1 on GTA Online I get stuck on a infinite ‘Loading Online’ or ‘Loading’ Screen. Strangely it doesn’t happen for Character 2 tho. I have contacted Rockstar Games Support on this matter.
2) Hackers / People who glitch:
6 out of 10 times in the 4 out of 10 times I go on a public lobby session there is always a hacker and or people glitching the game. This is a big problem and Rockstar need to get rid of these players.
Overall i think Rockstar North have done a great job on Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online. Launching a brand new multiplayer experience is tough and requires a lot of hard work to accomplice.
I wish Rockstar the best luck sorting out hacking on GTA Online!
Thanks for reading!
