The Doctors Top 10s- Characters

So Before we begin, i must state the obvious.
SPOILERS.
This list is also made from characters that I know and from games I have played. 


At number 10: Norman Jayden (heavy rain) one of the games 4 playable characters, Jayden is an FBI agent assigned to work on the case of the oragami killer. however, he is also addicted to a substance called triptocane. the good thing about heavy rain is that you can get jayden to break his addiction and, to quote terfle, tank the cravings.


At number 9: Solaire of astora, aka Brolaire or the Sunbro (Dark souls) The sun bro is, quite frankly one of the most useful NPCs in dark souls. without him there would be no jolly cooperation. If you manage to save him from his ultimate fate in lost isalith, he will even help you with gwyn. PRAISE THE SUN!




Number 8: Jak (Jak 2 renegade) after the first game, Jak became far more awesome. after spending the first game as a mute, jak was finaly given his albeit gravely voice in Jak 2. his quest for revenge fuelled by dark eco puts jak at number 8 on this list.









Number 7: John Marston (Red Dead redemption) because John Marston...
ok, in all seriousnes, John Marston is trying to escape his old life as an outlaw, and the game red dead redemption allows you to go with him on his journey.




Number 6: Joker (batman arkham city) The joker, played by mark hamil, puts on an amazing performance in arkham city. The Joker was, by far, the games liveliest character (in terms of attitude anyway. 












Number 5: Sora (Kingdom Hearts) Keyblade wielder Sora comes from the destiny islands. however, after they are consumed by darkness, he must go on an epic quest to find and rescue his friends, Riku and Kairi. Sora's place on this list is based on his resolve. He will stop at nothing to reunite with his friends. 












At number 4: Master Chief (Halo series) Chief is, quite frankly, the definition of badass. problem? hell shoot his way out, just to mix things to a little.















Number 3: Cole Mcgrath (infamous and inFamous 2) Cole, the greatest hero or greatest villan in videogame history, depending on your choices. Cole's journey takes him through empire city and new marais in order to find out why he was given his powers and to stop the beast.





 










Number 2: Goku (Dragonball Z games) Why is goku on this list? hes an anime character, not a Videogame character! well, he's actually starred in almost every dragon ball game.




















Number 1: Zeke Dunbar (Infamous 2) Zeke at the end of the first infamous had a questionable character, but after playing infamous 2, my respect for Zeke increased tenfold
from launching nukes at the beast and down 5 armed men with nothing but a revolver, Zeke has earnt his place at number 1

FIRE THE DUNBAR BEAM!

Romance in Video games

In books. movies and TV series, an often compelling plot point is romance. And I mean actual romance, not the Game of Thrones type...
Anyway, games don't always get it done the right way. In games, we like to make things happen. WE WANT DEM BADD GUYS TO BLOW UP!!! Going to a flower store and buying gifs for your sweetheart before she cheats on you isn't exactly a compelling gameplay device. However, romance can be somewhat interesting. Often in games, there is a cliche of going on some EPIC QUEST to save your girlfriend. It isn't exactly original, but it does give you something to fight for. Also, in Skyward Sword, the time taken in building up the relationship between Zelda and Link is almost masterful and it really makes you want to save her. I remember playing Spider-Man 2 and the mission was "meet Mary Jane at cafe" AARRRGGGHH IT WAS SO INTENSE!!!!! I felt as though if I didn't make it, I would be f-f-FOREVER ALONE! But the absolute pinnacle of this is Mass Effect. The way you talk, learn more about these characters feels real, not tacked on as some sex appeal...even if each game does have a sex scene. So, if Mass Effect is at the top...I guess something like Assassin's Creed or GTA is the worst. In AC...you just sort of, get together with them. Nothing compelling. In GTA you hire...ladies of the night to get in the back seat of your car.
Ahem.

Game of Thrones (game)

If there's any TV show that I think is overrated and completely stupid, it's Game of Thrones. Although my voice probably won't be heard over the tonnes of fanboys screaming that it's the best TV show ever made, I HATE THIS SHOW! People always say it's an epic fantasy world, but really, it's light on actual lore and story. As opposed to a tense conflict human drama and the unweaving of conspiracies, it's a tale of "warring families fight for throne in boring fantasy land" The characters are so forgettable and boring and the plot twists and turns are simple. Also, the production value, camera work and set/costume/sound design are low as well as the worst turn of events ever where a freaking teenager becomes king and marries the daughter of the father whose head he chopped off after the girl betrayed him to the evil family. But the absolute best thing about the series is the scene were the "tension" builds up and there's about to be a huge battle, but then the protagonist is knocked out and all of a sudden would you look at that; war's over! Despite all this crap, everyone loves the show. Why? INCEST! 


So what better way to celebrate a terrible TV series is to make a terrible game. Awful graphics? Yep. Crap voice acting? Yep. Gameplay where you choose what attacks to use at the start of the fight and then sit back and wait? Yep. Behold: Game of thrones in all it's crap!

AMAZING!!!

Bunch of Reviews

Here we go;

Mass Effect 2 is the excellent sequel to the first in the trilogy. It features more great storytelling and characters as well as some epic choices. The best thing about this game in my opinion is that it carries over all your decisions from the first game and completely changes your experience. As far as new gameplay goes, it's amazing. The shooting mechanics have been tightened and powers are much more useful. However, they removed a lot of the RPG elements that were present in the first game, which I kind of missed, but overall, the game is much better than the first and even the resource collecting plant minigame is fun. 

Transformers War fot Cybertron takes place in the official Transformers cannon universe, before the Transformers land on Earth. It has a strong story that spans an Autobot and Decpticon campaign. The graphics are great, especially because the game in built across an entirely robotic planet. The story is perfect. It has all the characters you want, with just the right voice acting you crave. Also, the plot is crafted so well it could be ripped out of the original TV series. War for Cybertron is a third Person shooter that doesn't employ cover. This may seem odd, but I think it's a good choice. Players should feel like powerful robots, not like guys who need to duck every time they get shot at. There are plenty of weapons and grenades to play with and transforming is seamless. The boss fights are awesome, with the exception that some have 1 hit kill moves. The only real problem is that the characters (the whole lot of them) don't really feel all that different. They each have a rechargeable power and an energon power, but aside from that, they're all pretty much the same. Luckily, that problem should be ironed out in the sequel. (Note: I didn't test multiplayer)

E3 overview

The Electronic Entertainment Exopsition. An event for all gamers to watch and marvel at the spectacle of gaming. 
This year however, I can't shake something. I was underwhelmed. Not overwhelmed or just whelmed, but underwhelmed. Some of the title at E3 will no doubt be great like Halo 4, New Super Mario Bros 2 and U, Pikmin 3, Bioshock 3, Crysis 3, Darksiders 2 and various others, but where are the new things?
All these best looking titles had numbers on the end. Is it truly that hard to think of something new and interesting? The Last of Us, Watchdogs and Dishonoured all look refreshing, that's a puddle compared to an ocean. Games which puke out sequels like the industry depends on it seem to be the way of the future (Call of Duty Black Ops 2/ COD9...Assassin's Creed 3/ AC5) which is a shame. Overall, E3 was fun because we got to see some more footage of some old favourites. It was boring because so few was new.

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is awesome. Awesome movies. Awesome TV series. Awesome books. SO PLEASE, PLEASE VIDEO GAMES! DO NOT RUIN HOLMES FOR ME! I know now there is a Sherlock Holmes video game which will be unveiled at E3, but I have so many doubts. For one, releasing a game on the height of a character's popularity is akin to making a movie tie in game. Cashing in on something while it's being talked about. I loved the Sherlock Holmes movies and BBC TV series, so this had better now ruin him now. If the gameplay is something like L.A. Noire, then it might be impressive, but if it turns out like one of those CSI games, then fond memories of Sherlock Holmes will evaporate. So...video games...I'm asking you nicely. Please don't kill him.
