Plague .Inc Evolved

Can you infect the world?

Your pathogen has just infected 'Patient Zero'. Now you must bring about the end of human history by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself. Plague Inc: Evolved is a unique mix of high strategy and terrifyingly realistic simulation

I innocently stumbled upon this gem of a game while browsing through the android app store. When I saw the genre "epidemic strategy-simulation" it immediately caught the attention of my suppressed cruel and sadistic sensibilities which I thought I matured from when I tortured grasshoppers as a kid by severing.... anyway I digress.

This is a great app which only set me back about R10.69 ($0.99.). Destroying all life on Earth with your self-engineered supervirus has never been more fun or challenging. Also, it is hilarious naming your disease something like "hol jeuk"

hol jeuk spreads to S.E. Asia... hol jeuk has infected more people in the world than HIV.. hol jeuk awareness day! Global concern over hol jeuk.. New statistics show that hol jeuk has killed over 75 million people world wide - worse than The Black Death. hol jeuk killed all its hosts..

nyahaha!

It is a very hyper-realistic game and you will see all of the real life connections while playing it. There is also a wide array of symptoms, abilities, and transmissions you can give your disease. You really have to think hard to beat this game. For instance, the decision of which country to infect patient zero with as each country has its own strengths and weaknesses and as a result will change how you evolve your disease symptoms, abilities and transmission parameters with "DNA points".



"DNA points" are the points which you accrue over time as your disease spreads, but once the human population recognizes your disease the real strategy-battle starts as it basically becomes an "arms race" to wipe out the entire human population before they find a cure. You can either keep lethality and visibility of your disease low so as not to become detected and then surprise attack by using all your DNA points or go all out from the get go. The sooner you wipe out the earth the more impressive your disease on the leaderboards.

On top of that, you get a staggering TWELVE different plague types, which you can unlock along the way. Which significantly adds to the depth, strategy and replayability of the game.

It initially started out as an Android/iOS app/game but due to its critical success is now available on Steam early access which is turning out to be the definitive edition.

Some cool features being included in the PC version.

Infectious Multiplayer - cooperative and competitive gameplay modes let you team up to fight the cure with friends, or compete in a race to kill the world.
Contagious Content Creator - hit the lab and develop your own custom scenarios - creating new plague types and worlds. Bring your deadliest ideas to life and share them with Steam Workshop.
Blinding Graphics - Including full 3D disease models taking you closer to your plague than ever before, city-cams showing humanity's struggle at street level, and the body scanner highlighting the full effect of your mutations, organ by organ.
Deadly Data - Predict government responses with priority indicators, geek out with loads of new stats and graphs, and analyse your best strategies with end-of-game replays.
And much more!

What are you waiting for?? Get it now!

Lifeless Planet

You crash land your POD on a distant planet that looks vaguely similar to earth, even though this is still in beta and has a $12.99 price tag odd, the graphics and atmosphere are amazing. The game play itself is pretty easy, run forward sideways and jump later on getting your jet back for single boost and double boost when needed. With some very simple but effective puzzles you navigate your way through each zone included in the demo. The story line is revealed via items on the floor that pick up and interact with and the story of this planet and its inhabitants demise.

I finished the demo after about 2 hours play and was left wanting more, to find out what the answer was to all the questions etc and who is to blame and how i was going to get home.

Very interesting concept and i cannot wait for the final release to see what they do with it.

South park stick of truth

This game has taken my soul away, I am not the biggest south park fan but I have seen all the episodes so when I started this game up and created myself as a south park 8 year old the adventure began. I am the new kid on the block and went out to find new friends when I bumped into one of my favorite characters butters,who was being attacked by kids dressed as elves. My first friend to add to facebook. I was surprised you could see the whole town and go into all the major buildings and the ones you can't go into have some sick things you witness in true south park fashion.

The visual style makes the game feel like an interactive south park episode,tones of references from the series Like native american tampons or cartmans christian rock band cd. Nothing seems to have been left out of the game,has so much to see,do and fart on. Can find the goth kids in their usual place,visit kennies house,go to stans uncles gunshop,get probed(unless you playing the console version)and beat up gingers. The combat is actually really well done and the special abilities are awesome and your summoning powers is so bloody funny. As I type this I am getting the urge to play it and I will start it up and continue the adventure with butters and princess kenny aka zukenny in the newer episodes. I think it has to be the biggest fan service in the history of fan service. You won't be disappointed. I mean what other game can you make a poo and use it as a projectile and revive your party member with a taco.

ASSASSINS CREED 3

I have been sucked into this game for sometime. Spending many nights traversing the forests of mid 1700 America. Respectively hunting elk, bears, hares and the odd British Red Coat messing with my peoples land.
All this knifing and sword fighting in game has imprinted many of the moves onto my brain, much like the 'bleed effect' Annimus users experience when spending too much time within their genetic memory.
Last weekend I found myself to be most grateful of my time spent in Assassins Creed 3 because my newly found but unknown skills came to the for in the midst of a rather vicious bar fight. You see, some overly drunk fellows from a neighbouring farm town were messing with my woman while I was urinating in the latrine. Upon reentering the establishment I saw the commotion and my lady in the middle of it all.
Without a thought I immediately leapt into action. A quick sprint, hop and kick off the nearest wall, I propelled myself at least 4 meters into the air at a good angled trajectory over the crowd. Soaring above the patrons, my eagle vision kicked in and I saw the assailants all aglow in red. 3 of them to be exact. I landed fist first onto the nape of thug 1's neck. sending his chin hurtling towards the tiled floor, thug 2 let go of his victim and charged at me with a big hairy punch, I did a quick backstep and grabbed him ,as he followed through, in a boa constricter like joke hold. A quick snap and release of his neck and he was out. Perhaps dead? I don't know, nor do I care. 3rd thug just looked on in dissbelief with my ladies boob in his hand. He had no time to react as my crazy chimp punch aimed squarely at his throat crushed his laranx and he stumbled out wheezing, gasping for air before he collapsed into a big suffocating heap.

I approached my lady friend and wiped the tears from her eyes before I let out a loud triumphant KAKAW!!!!!( Im no good at impersonating Eagles)


The End.

I may be a bit late to the party, but I can't believe I didn't write about a game that sucked a good portion of my time away.


Ladies and gentleman introducing...

Entry: Pokemon Online

I'm sure we all played pokemon. I'm sure we all loved it. But for me, I was never able to assemble my dream team. I was never able to test my Pokemon skills against real players. Then I found this little gem of a game.


An active community, any pokemon that ever existed, a moveset and EV's of your choice :O Where have you been all my life! I couldn't believe that I could choose from EVERY SINGLE POKEMON!

In no time, I assembled my dream team... and died badly. But that was ok! I was putting my pokemon trainer skills to the ultimate test! Soon the Gengar which I could never get was giving many opposing Pokemon bad memories. And my beloved Salamence was wreaking havoc with powerful Draco meteors.




But this was just the beginning. There was an active community, so many choices of pokemon, so many moveset choices, detailed tiers etc. It was unbelieveable. I climbed up the ranks on the ladder, reading up forums, trying out strategies, trying out new challenges, new teams. It really was a diverse and unique game. I watched the masters go at it, and I was amazed at the things they did with obscure pokemon. It inspired me, the way people would break away from the obvious, overused pokemon and still create a rock solid team. I can't even remember how many teams I created, they were just very fun to play with.

Needless to say this game took a large portion of my gaming time. Oh and the best part? The download is small and FREE! This incredibly complex game that evokes so many memories for free. What more could I ask for?

Entry: Diablo III Reaper of Souls

Oh my, Loot 2.0 drops just before the expansion and I think to myself, YES! No more auction house, better focused drops, redesigned difficulty, and I play a bit in anticipation of the expansion.

The expansion gets delivered and of course I start a Crusader and OMW I'M LEVEL 70 in NO TIME! Whirling hammers around with my massive flail (hammers from a flail, oh yes) and calling down heavenly bolts of energy to lay waste to everything in my path. Except for my allies; my skills only target evil, I'm cool like that.

And the loot! Oh the loot, that sweet sweet legendary drop sound I'm always waiting in anticipation for.

Not to mention the content in the expansion; Blizzard have gone for a darker themed (and coloured) expansion with much homage to Diablo 2; fighting on heavenly battlefields against all manner of strange and annoying foe. It's really satisfying, and after you have finished the expansion you can play adventure mode which gives focus to playing and is really cool to play with other people. The Nephalem Rifts are basically recoloured and re-enemied original places within Diablo III and the lighting effects are really cool.

Diablo III RoS is all about the loot.

Diablo III what are you doing to me,
I cannot seem to stop,
My enemies oh do they cower and flee,
running from my unending wrath.

Diablo III I wish you never came to be,
as now I'm addicted to playing,
even with the terrible latency,
I can't get enough of the slaying.

My foes don't stand a chance,
all I have to do is glance,
in their general direction.
For as soon as I appear
They run away in fear
of my blessed hammer's perfection!
