Asphault 8

        Hello, it's JB again. Today I will be reviewing Asphalt 8: Airborne​, a racing game by Gameloft. It's a very fun game, and is a game where you can race around a track instead of drag racing. There are many cool cars and fun modes. The cars are well balanced and the races require skill, not just a good car, and there is a wide variety of cars to chose from. One downside is that this game requires almost a gigabyte of storage, so you may have to clear out some other games. It also has lots of things happening, so it might lag on slower phones. Overall, if you have a good phone and lots of storage, I recommend this game because it is fun, requires skill, and is different than the typical drag racing game.

RoverCraft

RoverCraft

Hello. Today I am going to be reviewing a very fun game called RoverCraft. It's a lot like Hill Climb Racing, but better. In RoverCraft, you are trying to build a rover and drive the farthest distance before running out of power or dying. First, you design a rover. It must have wheels, a cockpit, and a battery. After you design your rover, you venture out and try to travel as far as possible. You can buy other wheels, batteries, frames, and cockpits. You can even buy a rocket! Using all these items, you must drive over hills, valleys, and sometimes random blocks. Everything is not square, thankfully. After you drive a certain distance, you will need to refuel. There are battery packs across the map that allow you to refuel. There are also coins of different values between you and your goal.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Another Blog! Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is the latest Call of Duty game and it is made by Infinity Ward, who made the Modern Warfare series. There is 3 game modes; campaign, zombies, and multiplayer. This game's campaign doesn't continue the Modern Warfare campaign, so you can just play this without buying Modern Warfare. This game comes with 1 Zombies map, which is titled Zombies in Spaceland. This is an abandoned theme park overrun with zombies. It's a decent map, and a little easier than Shadows of Evil. The multiplayer is definitely fun, and they have included upgraded weapons, but anyone can get them. I spend most of my time playing Multiplayer. There are many fun maps and gamemodes.

Terraria

Terraria

      
       Hello again. Now I will be reviewing Terraria, a fun 2D game where you can explore, build, mine, fight bosses, and befriend NPCs. It sounds like Minecraft, but the more you play, the less the games are similar. You start out in a world with 1 NPC, your guide. He is helpful, but if you play the tutorial, his advice is repetitive. The first thing you should do is chop down a tree with your axe and build a house for him. A house has to be 6 blocks tall and 12 blocks wide, have walls, a door, a light source, a table, and a chair. There are many more NPCs that you will either find or will come to you. They can sell very useful items. They also need houses. The goal of this game is to beat the Wall of Flesh. To do this, you have to go to the underworld, get a guide voodoo doll, throw it into lava, and kill it. This activates hard mode, where everything is harder. (Wow, never would have guessed.) To truly win, you must do this again.
There are many weapons and tools, and tons of artifacts, armors, and items.

Rodeo Stampede

Rodeo Stampede

      

       Hello. I know I haven't posted in a while, so I am going to do 4 other posts today. I am going to be reviewing Rodeo Stampede, a fairly popular game at my school and a fun time-killer. In Rodeo Stampede, you are trying to tame animals for your zoo to make money. You do this by riding animals in a stampede and jumping from animal to animal. You have to stay on each different animal for a certain amount of time. There is a meter to the side of the animal. Be careful, though. The animals try to throw you off! There are missions you can do to make money to buy or upgrade your animal habitats so you can get cool bonuses in the stampede. The more animals you have, the more money you make every time your park opens. This is a third-person running game similar to Temple Run, but there is more movement.

Call of Duty Black Ops III: DLC 1 Awakening

          Hey guys, JB here. Today I will be branching out and doing a review of an add-on for the new Call of Duty. The Call of duty game is required to use this DLC (Downloadable Content).

Multiplayer Maps:

          There are 4 multiplayer maps and they are: Skyjacked (Remake of hijacked from BO2), Splash, Gauntlet, and Rise. Skyjacked is the almost exact copy of its predecessor Hijacked. It is one of my favorite maps and I actually prefer it to NUK3TOWN, as it's called in BO3. Splash is a somewhat large map with lots of water. The setting is and abandoned waterpark. Gauntlet is an abandoned military training facility where the three lanes of the map are three different terrains. They are a rainy urban city, a jungle, and an arctic biome. Finally, we come to Rise, a research campus on the outskirts of Zurich. Each section of the map offers distinctly different types of gameplay.


Zombies Map:

The Zombies map in Awakening is called Der Eisendrache and is actually really fun. There are plenty of buildables such as a bow and a shield. It's very complex, but once you learn the map it becomes easier. Also, it's a bit hard to set up, but once you do, it gets easier to play. Tip: if you go prone in front of the perk machines, you get a bonus 100 points. Only one person per machine can do it, so either don't tell your team or say that the person who opened the last door should get it. It's 700 points total (I think. If Der Wonderfizz also works then 800), which is almost enough for a box hit and to cover the KRM.
Overall I think DLC Awakening is a legit DLC. It's worth $15 bucks or if you bought the season pass, it 's worth that too.





Cost: $15 or $12.50 if you bought the season pass.
Platform: PC, Xbox One, PS4
