2013 Games You Should Have Played Part.1
1. Borderlands 1 & 2
- Now Borderlands 1
story plot a little and makes how well the second Borderlands game ended, stand out. The reason why I am recommending these two game is because of the Co-op. It is rare to have a co-op game that allows others in your living room to play too. I know there are games like Splinter cell, and Army of Two, but the way that the loot system works to make others play cooperatively (or not play so cooperatively), has never been done, excluding maybe Diablo. So pick these two games up, especial if you're having people over for the holidays and want them to feel include in your gaming. You can catch my full review here I give you the good, the bad and my overall score.
2. Drake's Uncharted Series [ All of them]
- This is a Sony exclusive, so if you have a PlayStation 3, you should play all of Drake's Uncharted series. The first Uncharted was fun, because of the efforts of Naughty Dog's writing team. It was witty, it was funny, it was sentimental, and it was just spot on, so spot on that i felt like i was apart of Drake's life. Scary, I know, right. Well it got scarier with Uncharted 2
: Among thieves, giving us online multiplayer, another great story, and they added more characters to the story line. After Uncharted 2, anything Naughty Dog came up with, was just going to have to be beyond amazing. Now I can't say that Uncharted 3
: Drake's deception was that, but the graphics, and the glimpse into Drake's childhood made Uncharted 3 a must play, right along with the other two uncharted games.
3. God of War 3
- Who says girls don't like violence. God of War III
let me cut off the heads of mystical creatures. This is another PlayStation exclusive so if you have a PlayStation you should check this game out. The graphics look so good, the blood, the texture, everything just made me pick my mouth up several times through out the whole game. Add the sounds of Kratos ripping and tearing monsters apart and I felt like I was on a blood feud with the gods. The game is not just purely violence even though there is a lot of it, it also has some puzzle elements to it, allowing you to put away the button mashing mechanics from time to time. There isn't much else I can say about this game besides it has been years since I've played it and it still comes to mind. 
4. Skyrim
- I really enjoy playing RPG's, taking a character from nothing to something, always feels good. Give me a good story line and I can lose hundreds of hours playing. And to make it seem like I have a social life, I'm not going to tell you how many hours I've spent playing skyrim. With the the Legendary edition out, which is basically Skyrim
's Game of The Year edition, it is a good time to pick this rpg up. It has everything from dragon crawling, open-ending quest generator, DLC, and some fun quests lines for different guild frictions. Skyrim is a huge game, so if you want a full in-depth- review on why you should pick it up. You are going to have to check out my full review later. But again if you have a thing for knights, mages, or thieves, and you have a lot of time on your hands then you should pick up Skyrim.
Now this is only part 1, and there are so many games out there that should have been played at least once before we move on to a next generation consoles, so look forward to more of my quick options and full reviews. I have some other posts online, one is about the PlayStation 4 and why gamer girls should be interested in picking one up. The next is PS4 and Girl Gamers which is more about the PS4 and female gamers.
, is striking in a gorgeous way. It's just plain unique, I haven't had a system that wasn't just one slab of brick in my lifetime. Granted the PlayStation 4 is just two slabs at a angle making a parallelogram of sorts, but it is still different enough to make people take a second look. The glossy finish up top, the matte black finish on the bottom and the blue light in the middle they just make a statement. I look good, and I know I'll be noticed among your other boring electronics. Why is that special to a female gamers? I live in my living room, mostly. If I am not in the kitchen making something so I can get back to my living room, or in my bed room sleeping, I am in my living room. When I have guest over, they are in the living room. So to have something that attracts such good attention. and takes very little effort on my part is golden. The PlayStation 4 has a stand that is sold separately that make's the PlayStation 4 stand up at attention. Putting all of it's three great design qualities on display, but the PlayStation 4 also looks good laying down too. This console has a subtle attention grabber quality too it, no matter how you stand it, place it, or put it. It is rare that I ever have a console in my living space that helps it look good, let alone makes my living space look a little more unique. So Sony Design Team, I'm giving you a 1up for actually making a console body I can enjoy living with.Add the fact that console is quiet, except for when playing video games for several non-stop hours or loading a game disc into the system and I dare say I can live with this console for the 5 to 8 year period that is requited before the Next-next-generation consoles come out . 
has been a so, so peripheral. And to be honest I rarely use my PlayStation's Camera with the PlayStation at all but instead I use it as a webcam for my home desktop. It has good audio quality, or at least good enough audio quality for programs like Skype, or Google's hangout. But the games that involve using the PlayStation Eye camera has been so lack buster that I've never taken out my pocketbook to buy one. Now if something is free on the PlayStation store, I will get it, like the CreateEye game, which is more like a video and audio editor then a game. But now that the PlayStation 4 is here that means a small upgrade to the PlayStation's Camera (Eye) or should it be called Eyes since the
