GAMEPLAY
Basically, this game is an RPG (role playing game) with the aspects of dungeon crawling,
with a twist... This game is hard... really hard. (Inb4thats what she said) You control a character (No name or specific personality traits) and you really don't get attached to the character like you would with MW, Halo, GoW.
This game likes to grab and squeeze your tensions, by pitting you against two giant gargoyles on a roof, 3 skeletons in a tiny room, and the list goes on.
There is bonfires, which you light, it is essentially a checkpoint, you refill your estus flasks (Health potions basically), level up, etc.
If you collect humanity, you can use it to "kindle" the bonfire you're at, which increases your estus from 5-10, but only for that specific bonfire.
Dark Souls has an open world environment, meaning you can travel anywhere within the world.

MULTIPLAYER
Dark Souls has a pretty elaborate online mode, activated whenever you connect to Xbox Live.
When you are playing, other human players can randomly invade your world and attack you, but any players around our level can put a summon sign down, and it will allow you to summon them into your world.

GRAPHICS
Dark Souls graphics aren't anything special, it gets kind of annoying when the enemies start repeating their death animations over and over though.
But all in all, the graphics are decent, just not top of the line for it's time (That rhymed)

This game is definitely the hardest game I have ever played.
But it is still VERY fun.
So ill rate it a 9/10.

Synopsis
Happy Wheels is a ragdoll-physics-adventure based flash game created by Jim Bonacci. Players control various unique characters with their gore their own custom scenarios using the expansive level editor, or play some of the over 2 million already-existing user-made levels. The game is most notable for its dark sense of humor and its large amounts of gore. Bonacci was motivated to make the game out of disappointment of other ragdoll-physics games, stating that "No one was making their ragdolls die properly. They'd usually flop around harmlessly or in some instances have the same canned animation over and over."

Gameplay
Happy Wheels is a largely loved game across the YouTube community, and im sure the TTG community. happy wheels is based around the gore and death of 8 characters (i will get into that later, dont worry) that makes it fun, now im sure to some of you that seems terrible and you would think that nobody would love it, however you need to play the game yourself to experience the true funniness of the game.the games levels are made by the community, after signing up to totaljerkface (official site) you can make your own levels and rate others levels

Characters
Wheelchair Guy


Segway Guy


Irresponsible Dad


Effective Shopper


Moped Couple


Lawnmower Man


Explorer Guy

Synopsis.
Downloadable Xbox Live Arcade version of the popular party card game. UNO is the classic party card game that's number one for family fun! Compete against three other players to match colors and symbols, go Wild with special command cards such as Skip and Reverse, and be the first to play all your cards. Gamers will be able to compete against three other cross-platform players on the Xbox 360 or Windows Vista platforms to match colors and symbols and be the first to play every single card. Add-on theme decks offer new art and new card effects, keeping the game fresh and challenging. So connect with friends, choose your favorite house rules, and get ready to shout "UNO!".

---

Gameplay.
The rules for Uno are simple. Play a card that matches either the number or color of the top card on the central discard pile. If you have no playable cards, you must draw a new one, play then passes to the next player. Before you play your second-to-last-card you must call "UNO!" Once the player has put down he/her final card the round is over.

The gameplay for Uno can be a great time! It can be fast playing and always finishing fast but can also be a slow play if you have players that are not paying attention to their screens. The objective of Uno is be the first player to play all the cards from your hand. Score 250 points in Standard or Partner mode to win. You have mutliple cards to help you along with this such as: The "Reverse" cards - These switch the gameplay was going around clockwise the use of this card would switch that to anti-clockwise. The "Skip" cards are used so that the player that was to go after you will have their turn skipped and they will have to wait till next time round. Another card is the "Draw Two" this is pretty self-explanatory but it makes the player next to you draw two cards. You finally have the "Wild" and "Wild Draw Four" cards these change the colour of the upcoming cards but with the "Wild Draw Four" you must choose the colour you have the most at the time being because if you don't and the person next calls bluff you will have to pick up six cards.
There are 3 gametypes: Standard - This is the normal game of Uno, simple enough you just have to get rid of your cards the fastest. Partner Uno - In this game mode you will have a partner who you will have to work together with if you wish to succeed without teamwork on this mode it's hard to win. And finally you have Elimination Uno - In this one if the player has no valid playable cards then they will be eliminated from play and will have to wait intil the next round is in play.

---

Multiplayer.
While single player is an aspect of Uno, If you have an Membership for online play you can do up-to 4 player online Uno. This can be great fun if playing with friends and also can be good for meeting new people if you are the social type as Uno is a casual play so you can be social-able with still having fun!

---

Graphics.
The Graphics are incredibly simple but yet give off the impression of calmness and joyfulness. While playing Uno you can see how many cards each player has but not what they are this is great to know because in Real life alot people can trick you by hiding their cards so the developers have thought as much as possible about eliminating cheating, In a way. The Music is also very calming while you play it gives of the impression of a social occasion with the gentle but still subtle music playing in the background to add to the atmosphere.

Opinion.
In my opinion Uno is a great family game that had alot to offer anybody! You could play the game for hours on end with friends and family members and almost always would result in a good time and a good laugh. With the expansion of Multiplayer aswell Uno has exceed expectation of a family card game. For my I will give this a 8/10, as it is a great game but can eventually be boring with the repetitiveness of the music and gameplay.

Synopsis:
Max Payne 2 is a direct sequel to the original and picks up after the events of that game. Max, now a detective and wearier than ever of the world, once again has his hands full as he finds himself hopelessly attached to the lovely Mona Sax, a murder suspect and part of a bigger plot that ties in to Max's own dark past. There are tons of references and parallels to the original story. Fans will undoubtedly be pleased by some of the nudging and winking, though someone starting off with Max Payne 2 would probably feel rather left out, despite the presence of an optional cutscene that summarizes what happened leading up to Max Payne 2. Still, this is a surprisingly complex narrative for a game, irrespective of the genre.

Gameplay:
The Gameplay is similar to the other Max Payne Video games its practically the same expect now Max is now a dective instead of a criminal like he was in Max Payne, I would have to say this game is just a little bit better then Max Payne but its the same base but better things to do in this Video game.

Gameplay rating: 8.7

Graphics:
The graphics in this game are similar to the other Max Payne games the good ol' look for this video game! The grahpics are really good for a 2003 game! Trust me ive played this game and the graphics are really good! But kind of the same as the Orginal Max Payne.

Graphics rating: 7.9

Controls:
Jump- A
Switch weapons- Y
Throw lethical weapons (gernades...etc): RB
Shoot- RT

Ending Conclusion:
If you are frustrated on if you should buy this game or not I really think you should the games are great and easy but realllllly fun! Do not miss out on any of this Action gaming!

Synopsis:
This years game is a graphical improvement over previous years and it seems to be the norm for this title to get a little better visually each year. The animals are great representations of their true life counterparts and the environments you will find yourself in are well detailed and immersive. Now youll still have a pretty distinct hand held path for you to take and there really isnt any kind of free roam so the backdrops you see in the distance are pretty much that. Man, I know there are some monster trophies out there and I just wish I could get out to those spots but unfortunatley walls of impassable bushes, logs and debris will always hinder you in trying to go astray. Now you will have multiple routes you can take to get better shots on your hunts but in the end they still all lead to the same destination. I am impressed with the sounds in the game this time around and youll hear a lush environment full of churning creeks, birds singing among other animal calls. The guns sound as they should pretty much and the voiceover and narration is pretty good and reall never gets too boring. The music in the gallery portion of the game definitely adds to the excitement that the gallery game mode offers

Synopsis rating: 7.0

Gameplay:
The Gameplay is great in this video game nice and clean! The gameplay is just like any other hunting games. The reason why I like this game then any other Big Game Hunter games is because the animals look real this time unlike the other Big Game Hunters.

Gameplay rating: 7.56

Graphics:
The Graphics are absoulty amazing in this Big Game Hunter game in this game the animals actually look real! The grasslands and hunting areas look like real life, like your actually hunting. The Cars and everything just look great! Also you get new customizable character features that look truly amazing!

Graphics rating: 10.0

Controls:
The controls are exactly the same in any other hunting games from 1994-2012! But if you dont know ill tell you!
Move around- Left stick and right stick
Stand up, crouch...etc- X
Shoot- RT
Reload- X
Switch rifles- y

Ending Conclusion-
This game is by far the best hunting game out on the shelves now, If you like hunting games i highly want you to buy this one!

Overall Rating- 8.08

Synopsis:
Career mode drops you into the shoes of a known NASCAR driver or one of your own making and puts you through the paces, from Daytona to Homestead-Miami. You take to the circuits one at a time and make your way through a 36-race season, including the road course races on Watkins-Glen International and Infineon Raceway. The mode is functional, but it's also dry and straightforward--no substitute for the impressive and extensive Fight to the Top modes in older NASCAR games. Even victory celebrations are subdued. Your driver dances about and breaks out the champagne while surrounded by fist-pumping fans, but this canned display gets old, and the roar of the crowd sounds more like a mild sigh. The blandness of the visuals further emphasizes the lack of excitement. The frame rate holds up nicely on the track, but jagged edges, fuzzy crowds, and drab vehicles suck the life out of crash replays.

Synposis rating, 7.5

Gameplay:
The Gameplay in this Nascar video game is just exactly like other nascar games but more stuff into the game. Outside of the career mode, you can take any car to any track for a one-off race, or compete in eliminator events in which you set the number of challengers. This game is fun but just more stuff added and tweaked.

Gameplay rating: 5.5

Graphics:
The Graphics are slightly better then any other of the Nascar video games. The cars look more relastic along with everything else in the game. In the winners circle its awesome because everything just looks real and everyone treats you as in you just like won a real race in real life.. They interview you...etc

Graphics rating: 8.8

Controls:
The controls are the same as any other nascar game but If you don't know them ill tell you.

Race the car/start it- RT

Ending Conclusion:
This Nascar game by far is the best one out its more relastic and more and better stuff added to the main menu, if you like nascar games this is probably the best one out for you so please do not hesitate to buy this Nascar game! Do not miss out in the fun of racing!
