I know Portal 2 is an older game but I just got into first person shooter if you read some of my past blogs. This game is funny, unique, and extremely hard to stop playing. A friend of mine gave this game to me as a gift since he was wanting to play co-op with someone. I'm so glade he picked me because I can't seem to stop playing this game. Now enough of me talking about how good the game is because I'm sure you want to know more about this game. Let us get started. 

  First of all I started out with the co-op play with my friend. Going through level after level I was mostly along for the ride. I was still try to understand the game. Finding how the portals work and finding out that this is a true co-op game. You really have to have a good partner that will help you or you can just forget about progressing. You have to listen to each other because one of you might be on the other side of a wall and you have to help them get to where you're at. I haven't even mentioned how funny the social actions are between the two robots. There is just a ton of great content in the co-op play alone. 

  Getting to the solo play it has a great story in place and keeps you on the edge of your chair. You're going to only have a portal gun so you can't just attack things. That's not what Portal 2 is about. The game is really about avoiding damage and solving the puzzles that lay in front of you. Your character starts out in a room and you are waking up and just finding out that facility you are in has pretty much been destroyed. You're are going to have to go through the many test that are in the facility to get out alive. Hopefully you don't die along the way. All in all Portal 2 has been a lot of fun and interesting game play. So if you love puzzles that will completely turn you on your head Portal 2 may be the game for you.

  Now you want to play an open world game with survival. Have I got a game for you then. Far Cry 3 is a first person shooter and if you're normally a person that loves third person view don't worry. I used to play nothing but third person games until I played Far Cry 3. This game offers tons of things to do and it was compared to Skyrim. I never thought it was Skyrim with guns until I actually played the game. That quote is right on the money because Far Cry 3 lets you do what you want when you want. 

  As I played in Far Cry 3 I was happy to see plenty of unforgettable characters, land areas, and more. This open world is full of things to do and have fun with for hours on end. I haven't even mentioned yet how deep and intriguing the story is. I mean the first guy you come in contact with is freaky and will really make you wonder how crazy he is. You start out jumping from a plane and landing on an island that has stone cold killers on it. However your character is not any kind of experienced fighter and will have to learn quick. That makes this game a lot of fun since you have to truly build your character from the beginning.

  One of my most favorite moments in the game was simply not expecting a tiger to jump on me while I was scoping out a enemy base. It was exciting because I quickly had to take him out but I had to do it without making a sound. If I made a sound I knew I was dead because the enemies at the base would have hared me. This moment was so unexpected and from there on out I kept playing and couldn't stop. Hints this is why there are so many Far Cry 3 memes in our gallery. 

  Tomb Raider (2013) is a new adventure out of the Tomb Raider series. The difference here is they have completely rebooted the series. From jumping to cliffs to solving many puzzles they have really managed to remake this game in an entire new light. Gameplay is more based off of survival now and really has that feel of excitement in it. This new Tomb Raider did wonderful with the way Lara Croft grows in the game. It's more of a role playing adventure experience mix into surviving the wild.

  You will find yourself building up your weapons because they added a system for customizing the weapons now. Having to go around and collect the scrap metal and things was a new and fun thing to see in the Tomb Raider series. Not to mention you will be doing customization on how you play as well. Because Lara can learn tons of things from how to fight better to surviving the wild. There is just a ton of things present in this game that many of the other games seem to lack in. 

  Story hasn't gone missing in this game because you will find all kinds of twists around every corner. Starting of you are on you way to an island that has never been found before. Things soon go extremely bad for the crew since the ship ends up in what looks like the storm of the century. As for much more on the story line I really don't want to give out to much since there are so many twists and it could spoil it for you. 

  It's safe to say if you get this game you will more than likely have a lot of fun. I know I did and I only got about 50% into the game before my Playstation 3 had the yellow light of death. I had the old fat system so it was bound to happen. I just realized I didn't mention the graphics but do I really need to mention them just look at the pictures and video. I believe they speak for themselves.
