Reveiw of Halo 3: ODST

About 3 weeks ago the american version of the new Halo game Halo 3: ODST came out. It is a "different" type of Halo game. For one it has no apperance of Master Chief, the main character for the other 3 Halo games. In Halo 3: ODST, you are and ODST, Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, which is a step down from the Spartan soldier. An ODST is weaker than a Spartan, for one they dont have a shield, second they arn't as strong phisically, third they can't duel weild, and fourth they take less bullets before dying. While some say that this is the worst of the Halo games, most agree this is a nice Halo game with more challenges and benafits...
In Halo 3 the coveted R.E.C.O.N armor was the most coveted and impossiblr armor to get, the only way to get it back then was to become an employee of Bungie or to impress them with a map or video...but now there is another way. Since Halo 3: ODST came out people have been striving to get all the Vidmaster achivements, why? Because if you get all the Vidmasters in Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, 7 altogether, will unlock you the R.E.C.O.N armor is you have a valid Windows Live ID on Bungie.net. There are 2 R.E.C.O.N armor types, the Halo 3: ODST R.E.C.O.N which is a Firefight, Halo version of Nazi Zombies from Call of Duty: World at War or Horde mode from Gears of War 2, character with the R.E.C.O.N helmet but is not useable in Halo 3 Matchmaking, and the Halo 3 R.E.C.O.N armor which is useable in the Halo 3 Matchmaking. The Halo 3: ODST R.E.C.O.N armor is unlocked by beating the campaign on ledgendary which may sound easy but proves to be a challenge is soloing it. And the Halo 3 R.E.C.O.N armor is unlocked, as i said earlier, by completeing all the Vidmaster achivements on LIVE, meaning must have a gold membership. Next, Campaign and more firefight details.
The Halo 3: ODST campaign is one of the most hardest campaigns i have played in my years of video game playing. The Brutes, new elites, are way to overpowered on ledgendary even normal. You die in 2-3 shots of a decently powered weapon. And the levels seem to drag on forever. BUT! it is also one of the best campaigns i have played, because it is a great challenge for people who say they are the "best" FPS, First Person Shooter, players in the world... and im not saying i am, I SUCK! Also the story flows nicely with some nice twists and turns in it. Another cool and unique feature about the campaign is that you play as 5 different players throught the course of the campaign, Buck, the Rookie, Mickey, Romeo, and Dutch, each with a different part in the progress of the liberation of New Mombasa, a futuristic African city where the story takes place which the Covanent, enemies, breached and invaded. Now lets get to Firefight. It is just like Horde mode and Nazi Zombies but unlike Nazi Zombies they shoot back! In the lobby you can choose the map, which are unlocked throught the course of the campaign but some are unlocked already, the difficulty; Easy, Normal, Heroic, and Ledgendary, and the silver skulls which you unlock in Halo 3 campaign which are; Cowbell, IWBYD, Grunt B-Day, and Mythic, i think. The Vidmaster: Endure, the most impossible one there is, is done on Firefight with 4 people online on Heroic difficulty and lasting past the 4th set on any map. I wish you luck with Endure.
I would give this came a 9 out of 10 due to the difficulty of the Vidmasters and the difficulty of the campaign. So my final comment on this game would be GO GET IT IT ROCKS!!! Also i need some help with my last 2 Vidmasters... my GT is Th3 Xtr3m3 and i play on weekends and holidays... send me a message and/or and invite and ill see what days im free and we can do them. Good luck to all and i hope you like this reveiw on Halo 3: ODST, Best Halo Game Ever.

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Litch King review

Hey all you people....I downloaded WotLK just under a month ago and it absolutly ROCKS!!!!! The new class the Death Knight or DK is awsome and super strong but is gonna be nerfed in the next patch :( along with all the other classes. The new continent called Northrend is bigger and better then the Outland which was avalible in the previous expansion Burning Crusade or BC. I went to Northrend or NR only twice...1st with my DK Vanthena (now my dads DK Ahokk) and with my hunter Arokk who was LvL.32 at the time and now is LvL.65 and is almost ready to fight in Northrend because Northrend ranges from LvLs 68-80 (you can take down monsters that are 2- to even 8 lvLs above you but i would suggest fighting monsters that are 2-3 LvLs above you. There are new armor sets for all classes including the DK (but the Dk only has teir 7 armor). Ther are new spells/abilities for all classes and also cool new wepons and 2-4 passenger mounts! but they cost from 19ooo-22000g!! thats crazy. There are more teirs in the talent trees for each class like now hunters who are speced (or specilized) in Beast Mastery can tame cool new pets such as the core hound,chimera,spirit beasts, rhinos and so on so forth. LvL.80 is the cap for LvLing and there are new PvP (player vs. player) battlegrounds. I'm almost LvL.70 and at LvL.70 you can get flying mounts for 200g and train for flying mounts for 450 or 550g then for your epic which is 500g and to train for them costs 1000g. There are soem new enemies such as rabid wolves, vikings, elephant/rhino looking things, giant crows, giant dwarves, and even the Litch King himself!! Well thats all i can say for now....hope you guys post coments. Here are my Characters names, LvLs, faction, class, and servers:Arokk, LvL.65, Sentinals, Alliance, Hunter; Scorcher,LvL. 20, Sentinals, Alliance, Mage; Ravvik, LvL.17, Sentinals, Alliance, Palidan; Ahokk, LvL.58, Sentinals, Alliance, Death Knight; Poisoin. LvL.17, Sentinals, Alliance, Rouge; Ulfour, LvL.22, Sentinals, Alliance, Palidan. If you read this post and/or play WoW please leave a comment letting me know your character info like I told you and ill add you to my friends list and see if i can catch you on :). Have a good day.

Ian's Gaming Wisdom

Hello, im back to review Fallout 3 a 360,PS3, or the PC. I have it for the 360 and i think it is the best game for the 360 since oblivion. You start off as a child being born in a place called vault 101, from there you go through a create a character prosses. then you go from just born to a 1 yr. old were you learn how to walk and look around. From there you go to a 10 yr. old at your tenth birthday party. From there you go to a 16 yr. old when you have to take your apptitude test. Then you go to 19 yrs. old when you break out of the vault to find your dad. After you break out your in a world free for you to explore. There are enemies such as radroaches, radscorpians, mutants, zombies, raiders, hunters, radiated animals, and if you have a bad karma you will fight civilians if you make them mad like I did.
Before you leave the vault you would be asked if you want to change your apperance, gender, your S.P.E.C.I.E.L.S(sorry if i spelled wrong), and your tag skills. But be warned once you exite the vault you will never be able to enter again. If you go thru the vault right you should have security armor, 10mm pistol, BB gun, and a police baton(all weak wepons). The later wepons are for example: Shiskabob(a flaming gas powered sword), Minigun(you get from killing super mutant brutes), Rock-it-launcher(you build this), nuka granade(you build this),assault rifle, .32 cal. pistol, chinese pistol, chinese assault rifle, missle launcher, super sledge, chainsaw knife(IDk were to get this ._.), hunting rifle, sniper rifle, energy rifle, energy pistol, sniper pistol, and much much more.
Here are the basics: bottle caps are money, the area outside the vault is contaminated with nucular energy so don't get R.A.D sickness by drinking to much dirty water, everyone who will not talk to you will attack you on site, and if you prefer, once you get to lv 5 you can get easy money by raiding cities and sparing no one by looting their hoses looting them like I do and i have over 2000 capsand im working on my third city. This is a really great game with really great armor such as: Spiked armor, leather armor, enclave armor, civilian clothes, raiders outfits, combat armor, duster overcoats, or if you prefer, pre war clothes wich grant no armor bonuses but look a little cool.
This game is reated M for some strong language, minor use of drugs like wiskey, beer, and phyco,intence violence by which if you get a CRIT. on someone or something their limbs will pop right off, and blood and gore, so i will sudgest(even though i am 12) this game for 15+. Hope this is enough info.
