The Hills Stole my Eyes and I can’t Step Anywhere – New Operators on the Horizon
With the Invitational over, Siege gets ready for Operation Burnt Horizon and two new operators – Gridlock and Mozzie. These Aussie ops add some out of the box instruments to the game, with Gridlock’s “Trax Stinger’s” forcing roaming defenders to find another way back to point or risk getting tetanus from these high tech caltrops. Mozzie, on the other hand, will deploy a “Pest” that can, in some way or another, capture attacker drones that she can then use as surveillance devices for the defending team. The way I see it it boils down to this. If the attackers can get into the building and set up near point, Gridlock will…

“Getting Shot Three Rooms over through a Hole in the Wall” and other Fun ways to Spend your Saturday Night
Welcome to Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege, you poor, poor soul. This is the shooter that defies the modern shooter. In a world where running and jumping around the map is rewarded, Siege requires slow, methodical gameplay that people aren’t used to. It plays similarly to, I imagine, a SWAT team raiding a building, leaving no stone unturned as they clear the building. Except in this you aren’t a SWAT team, just 5 operators trying not to get shot before even entering the building. Operators are who you play as in Siege. Each has their own weapons of choice, speed and armor values, and a single special ability. These abilities range from offensive to defensive…

Deus Vult, Valhalla, and Whatever the Samurai say
Welcome to the world of For Honor. Have you ever wondered who would come out on top if vikings, knights, and samurai duked it out? Throw in a natural disaster and endless war and you’ve come to the right place! For Honor is a very simple premise done extremely well. The story is far better than you’d expect for a game focused on multiplayer, but still pales in comparison to what the multiplayer is. For Honor is an arcade fighting game brought into the 3D world. Ubisoft outdid themselves developing the Art of Combat system, the tri-directional combat wheel used in the game. The basics of it is this: You can attack in three…

So you Wanna be Champion
Welcome to Apex: Legends. The new kid on the block and most recent in the long, long line of battle royale games to come out in the past few years. Developed by Respawn, the same people who made the Titanfall franchise, Apex: Legends follows the basic battle royale formula. Drop in from the sky, grab loot, kill your opponents, stay in the circle, and be the last one standing. What sets it apart is its quick gunplay, Legend system, and fantastic ping system. In Apex you always play in a squad of three. No solos, no duos, unless you get some cheeky people that disconnect before the game starts. One person controls the jump…

Welcome to the Blog!
I’ve been playing games all my life. From the time I could hold a controller in my hand I’ve been playing games on a Sega Genesis, Playstation 2, Xbox 360, and all the way up through modern day PC games. Gaming is a serious passion of mine! I tend to get very competitive, and love to win. I’ve looked up guides and tips for many games in the past. One thing that worries me, though, is that most game guides today focus on the top tier of play. The professional level, the top 1%. But what about the other 99%? That’s what this blog is for. This blog is aimed…
