Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 
TranZit

TranZit is the new zombie map in Black Ops 2, in TranZit it has a new exploration mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies. It is completely different from the other maps we all have played in Black Ops 1 and also Call Of Duty 5. The first map is "Green Run" and different locations are accessible either by the bus or foot or even the teleports scattered around the map. 




TranZit uses rounds, and functions like the old zombies game, aside from the size and some of the new features. A new feature in the game includes, buildables, this allows the player to build items in game such as; Items to attach to the bus to get an advantage over the zombies such as a ladder to access the roof of the bus or even a plow to attach to the front and mawl down zombies in your path. Also you have to build the pack a punch machine that is located in the bank. Getting into the bank can be tricky if you don't know how to access it.

Also a new feature to TranZit is being able to build special equipment in which can help you in different ways, the pieces of equipment you can build are: 

  • A generator- that allows you to open special doors without having to use your points.
  • A shield- That protects your back and also can be used to bash zombies out of the way.
  • Jet gun- this is a extremely powerful weapon that is very useful in tricky situations
  • Sentry Gun- Used to kill zombies 
  • Electricity Trap- Used to kill zombies hardcore style 


What We Think Of The New Map


We think that the new map is very different from what we've experienced before, someone people will love it and some will completely hate it. I love it, I love the new features to the game , it keeps it fresh and makes me wanting more zombie action. Im looking forward to seeing what new ideas the DLC's this year will bring. 

Overall I would give TranZit 8/10

GTA 5's second trailer from Rockstar has just launched moments ago showing the world the game's three new playable characters, it also shows us a few snippets from the new heist gameplay that's supposed to be the central mission mechanic.

Throughout the trailer, we are shown three new characters engaging the customary GTA action. Driving cars, fighting, drug dealing and the odd shootout.

We see the gang trying to steal cars on a highway right off the back of a truck. We seem them jumping from a train as it collides with another and we even see them stealing cars from a in-flight plane!

Rockstar said that players will be able to switch between each of the three characters during missions, ensuring players get the best view of action. What we can see of the heist missions shown in the trailer is that they'll also be highly cinematic affairs almost certainly ending with a bang. The jet fighter footage alone is enough to get GTA fans' trigger fingers itching.

Can Rockstar use the heist as a way of evolving the kind of missions we usually expect of a GTA, though? The second trailer leaves GTA fans more ambitious to try out the new type of mission structure.

Check out trailer #2 and let us know what you think:

Without a doubt, Rainbow Six: Patriots could definitely be a game changer for a variety of different reasons. Personally, after playing both of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas' games a good many years back; I have yet to play a 'Tactical Shooter' which has the strategic gameplay of both Vegas 1 and 2. Also, I am very reluctant to purchase the same game on different consoles; yet Vegas 2 is one of the few games I have for bought for both console and PC. Even better, I don't regret buying the same game twice. Even now amongst the many shooter's released, I still return to the Rainbow Six: Vegas series, mainly for its brilliantly designed 'Cover and Shoot System', as well as for the range of customization available, which includes both guns and the type of armour. This is why I believe if Patriots keeps the crux of the beauties of the Vegas series, rest assured in will be a game-changer in both 'Tactical Shooters' and 'First-Person Shooters' to come in the next few years.

It was of course big news when the debut trailer of Rainbow Six: Patriots was unveiled. The game is still enshrouded in speculation and right at the forefront is whether or not Patriots will be a game designed for Next-Gen consoles soon to come in a few years' time. If you have not yet checked out both the reveal and debut trailer, please do.

There is speculation that Rainbow-Six Patriots could be released for Next-Generation Platforms to come in the following years. Although an epic reveal trailer has been released, the release date was predicted to be around 2013, but this rather misty release date could perhaps be moved to 2014 if it was to be designed for Next-Generation Platforms. Despite, my eager anticipation for the game, I do hope that Patriots will be released on Next-Generation Platforms. Why? Because a unique game series as good as Rainbow Six deserves the best the game market has to offer.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot shed some light on the issue in a statement to Polygon :

"The only thing I can say is that we have a good team working on it, and it's really good. so when it will come, it will surprise the industry."

As well as this, also in a statement to Polygon when asked whether Patriots could be a Next-Gen Game, although it could not confirm whether or not it will be, he said there is a "good chance" the game will be. 

Is Rainbow Six: Patriots a Next-Gen Game in the Making?

Yes you heard it, Borderlands 2 will feature a 58 hour-long campaign, based on a recent play-through with one of the four playable characters available in the game, developer Gearbox Software confirmed.

Gearbox marketing VP Steve Gibson reasoned why the length of Borderlands 2 campaign is 58 hours long. He stated that it is the studio's perception of Borderlands as "a hobby."

"We look at it as a hobby, and that isn't even counting the new Badass Points system and how that'll affect every character you do. We want it to feel like you get more for your money. We're happy for people to pay their money once and feel that they get ongoing value."
A few guide guys just played through the Borderlands 2 campaign and they reported back that it takes 58 hours to play through the campaign. Remember though, that is only with just ONE playable character.


Borderlands 2 will be released September 18th in North America on Xbox 360, PC, and Playstation 3.

Halo 4


Halo 4 begins a fresh new game in the Halo saga, it begins where the last one left off. 343 Industries is now the ringleader of production in the Halo series since Bungie decided to leave Microsoft after the last halo. Since 343 Industries announced the confirmation of the making of the new Halo 4, the team immediately returned to work in continuing Spartan's story. The teaser trailer (Link Below) reveals that the Spartan is starting where he was left at the end of Halo 3. This will make us wonder, what has 343 Industries got on offer to us in this epic game? I for one can not wait for this.

Overall, Halo 4 will pick up where Halo 3 ended. Rumour has it that Halo 4 will be completed and released by fall this year.

Samsung will introduce a cloud-based video games service to its premium TV's. It has signed a deal with Gaikai to use their streaming technology to let customers play games written for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 without having to own the consoles as announced at the E3 games trade show in Los Angeles.

Samsung said the service will be made available  on its smart hub environment on high end TV's released later in the year.

Samsung's vice president of electronics visual display business said: "Samsung is excited to deliver this revolutionary gaming experience that takes advantage of all the benefits of cloud-computing, all on the central screen of the home"

However cloud relies on high broadband speed, which in some areas is not up to the speeds needed to be able to run these services properly and could result in lag, disconnection, a poorer visual look or not run at all. It is advised to check your broadband speed through your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and compare it to the required speed asked by these services. If the service does work it is also a good idea to monitor how much bandwidth you are using or you could have a nasty shock from your Internet bill.
