Halo Spartan Assault

Well I finally focused myslef and finished off this game.  My friend Fafhrdd finished it way before I did and we started at the same time.

One thing that makes a difference is when you have played a Halo game and know what all the weapons are.  Fafhrdd knew them with ease.  I've never played a Halo game until now so I had to learn what gun was what.  That makes a big difference when going after the assault ops in the game as you have to kill per a type of weapon.  You mix up what it is and you will make no progress at all.  Which I did a few times and that drug this game out some.

This isn't the normal type Halo game though as this is a top down shooter.  I enjoy games like this as it's about dodging along with killing.  Well this game you dont dodge as much as you normally would.  You just can't avoid the shots coming and that's why you have a shield.  If you gotta run to recharge the shield, get to cover and recharge it.

It was pretty fun to play but having to replay the assault ops missions over and over to earn some ops got to be a little bit ridicilious. 

One thing they really screwed up on this game was the multiplayer.  You can't run through the campaign with any of your friends.  Instead you have 5 co-op boards you get to play.  Yep, just five.  So once you knock out the achievements pertaining to that, it's done.  Come on, this is supposed to be about having fun online with friends and they didnt give you any fun at all outside your first run through on those five missions.

I hope everyone picked it up as the free game this month as I bought it when it went on sale a month or two back.  I think  I'll be waiting to buy any more arcade games with the limited selection up right now.

Clash of Clans Clan Wars

Clan Wars has been out for a few weeks now and we just lost for our 3rd loss.  We have been on a big winning streak though as we are currently 15-3 right now.  Earning the extra loot is huge and when you're winning and pulling in that extra loot for upgrading, losing really hurts.

Following certain rules when attacking make a really big difference in a war.

Defense

1. Make sure your Town Hall is protected in the middle of your base with Clan Castle right beside it.
2. Make sure the Clan Castle is full of your strongest troops: Dragons, Wizards, Witches, or Archers (Archers if your Clan Castle is extremely hard to get too).
3. Try to make your Clan Castle troops hard to pull out so that you

Attacking

1. You have to 3 star all the lower bases.  No excuse not getting those and not getting those will make you lose a war very easily.
2. Attract Barb King, Archer Queen, and flush ALL Clan Castle troops out of the castle.  Once they are out, pull to a corner and drop troops to kill them all.
3. During war if it noticed the the clan has made the Clan Castle extremely hard to get troops out and they are filled with archers.  Make sure to bring 1 lightening spell with you.  Pull Barb King and Archer Queen to kill.  Once you have killed them, start your attack.  Only deploy half your troops.  Once all the archers have come out the clan castle and are closely grouped together, drop the lightening spell to kill them all or majority.  Then drop the rest of your troops to finish off the attack.

Those are some helpful tips for any clan dedicated and wanting to win at clan wars.  Make sure your members are active as if they are not active, then you will be missing attacks and that's less chance you will have to 3 star every base.

Dead Rising 3 + DLC

I finished up Dead Rising 3 a few weeks ago.  I've been very busy and lazy when it comes to posting on here.  I need to get back into a habit of posting again.

This is definitely a fun game and it's enjoyable to play.  Some of the achievements add a little bit of a grind but it's not so bad that you would skip by it as it's very attainable in a short period of time.  Like 1-2 weeks of grinding out all the massive zombie kills you need for example.

The DLC in the game was definitely intriguing and add some great stories that happened during your story line for how things happened in the city.  The only downside is it's not worth the cost and I got the season pass on it.  Maybe if it was half the price, then it would have been worth it.  It's not worth $30, that's for sure.

I'll definitely be looking forward to a 4th if the put one out but for now, if you're in a zombie killing mood, this game will fulfill your needs.

Maleficent

Disney did a great job on this movie.  The story is fantastic and everything in this movie was good.  Took the whole family to see it and I highly recommend it to anyone.
