My Best Games Of All Time


Best Game in my Opinion!
 
Halo The Master Chief Collection - I have played many games throughout my time gaming and I have played several games that I believe to be some of the best games ever created! The most recent game I have played is Halo master chief collection and that is all halo games on one disc and it give you a chance to play the halos that you may never of had played and also experience the game redone with better graphics but also with the chance to play it with the original graphics too!  Not only can the player enjoy and relive their favorite memories of the game while playing it with the classic graphics they can also experience the game with new graphics to recreate more memories with halo and the good story line which is a main focus. Halo master chief collection also gives you the opportunity to customize your online character/ online master chief and be able to play online and fight other people as the master chief or an elite which was introduced later to the franchise.  The multiplayer teams are the rival colours red vs. blue which also became a popular online series which has now had several seasons.
 

This is the main character in the halo franchise, and his name is Master Chief or John 117 to others. He is known as being one of the best Spartans in the future and has single headedly taken out several covenant fleets as well as major people in the covenant ranks. From the first to the fourth and soon to be fifth we have seen several upgrades for chief and each time becoming more deadly.

 

Arbiter – this is an elite who starts off fighting for the elites but then due to his failures the council want him to be an example to the others. But one of the prophets make him an arbiter to make up for his failures as well as him doing suicidal missions so the council have their body. But he ends up joining the master chief and helping him kill the council/prophets and let him and his species go home and rebuild.

 

Sgt Johnson – Sgt Johnson is one of the most favorite able characters in halo with his bad ass attitude and a no tolerance of losing to aliens he is a good soldier who always gets the job done. Sgt Johnson is in halo’s 1, 2 and 3 but unfortunately he is taken prison in halo 3 and is killed when he fights back against the brutes who are the guards. But he is one of the master chief’s best friends and has fought besides him several times during the war.
 
Cortana – She is known as an A.i. or computer intelligence. She is a hologram which the humans use to gather information about their enemies and can also use weapons on ships to give more precision and also can help update the master chief’s armour as he passes through the war but at many stages entering hyper sleep. Cortana is kept in microchip which is placed in a slot in the back of the master chief’s helmet.
Halo was originally released back in 2001 only for the Xbox original which at the time had not long been released and to people at the time the graphics for halo were impressive for that time, only in today’s world can we realize how far graphics have come for games as well the realism of sounds too which nowadays have a massive sense of realism. Halo 1, 2 and 3 were all done by a company called Bungie, but halo 4 was done by members of bungie but called 343 industries and these made halo 4 which to many people at first was a massive disappointment due to them seeming to have spent so much time trying to improve online when really it never needed changing in my opinion. But at first I did not like the new character look because I had been so use to halo 3’s online that I just wanted it to be the same. But it’s not all doom and gloom I think that the wider range of colours as well as there being a bigger class options which was a big improvement in the online side of it. Although the campaign was still interesting I did not really like the fact that the covenant were not even hard to kill and that the flood were not even in the campaign this time around who had previously been in all 3 halo’s, I also did not like the fact the new enemies called the Prometheans were so over powered which seemed to be a bit silly considering the covenant are not scared of anything except the flood so it didn’t make sense in the story. Despite this I was still able to enjoy the game and what new features it had brought in. In my opinion putting every single master chief halo onto one disc has to be easily one of the best decisions ever and so due to being open to original graphics and online modes as well as being able to relive the amazing stories and gameplay that were in some of the older halo’s which could not be brought onto Xbox one yet.
 
 
Assassins Creed – This is a game which is at times heavily based on historical facts and are sometimes based in big moments in history such as American independence against the British as well as the French revolution, you even get to experience life as a pirate assassin!  The first assassin’s creed game I ever played was assassins creed revelations which followed an assassin called Ezio Auditore Da Firenze, for me it was a good experience for my first time but it’s a game I could only ever play once, when thinking about some of the missions I found tough they were missions that should have been made easier to do. Although while playing the game I didn’t get that angry when I think about it I remember all the times I struggled when it really the producers could have made it slightly easier before it becoming too easy for players. Unfortunately I did not get assassins creed 3 which I thought looked like a great game. The next assassins creed game I played was black flag for Xbox one and I think that this is one of the best assassins creed game out! Not only could you upgrade your ship and add grew members but it also gave you freedom to wonder from island to island and this part of the game I found extremely good. I will say that there isn’t enough of an assassin feel to the game but I still enjoyed it none the less. On the Xbox one the graphics are absolutely amazing and especially in the ocean physics which looked very realistic in my opinion. It also had a solid storyline for it and I got into the story and at times I found it hard to turn the game off. Assassins creed unity which when I saw the trailer I thought that this could easily be one of the best assassins creeds ever, although myself I never experienced major glitches except once when my target that I needed to assassinate fell of the side of a castle and landed on a ledge which I myself could not land on so it meant I would have to restart the mission all over again, but because I was angry I just simply turned my Xbox off. Apart from this I thought that unity was actually a good game in my opinion and I really liked the story that it had.
 
 

Arno – Arno is the assassin you play as in the game Assassins creed unity. He becomes an assassin after he is framed for murdering his master and is in a cell with an assassin.

Elise – She is the friend of Arno and has become very fond of him, but she is part of the Templar order and Arno is an assassin. These two orders hate each other and there is constant tension.
 A big reason why this game did not get the best game of the year is due to the inconsistency of the assassin's creed franchise and so because of this it is up there as one of the best games but due to this its not the best. I look forward to see what Ubisoft have to show us this year with hopefully an assassin's creed game that will blow us away with the story as well as the true nature of next gen graphics which I hope not only this game will show but all the big name releases this year!


CIVILIZATION V -  Another game which I am absolutely in love with is Civilization V which in my opinion is an amazing game with how strategic the game is and how well the A.I play on the game really makes it a good experience off line. Online the game again exceeds too with a good online   experience and making you to play with friends which can be good to play along side them or even fight against them which can make the game even more enjoyable. You can also play with people you've never met before which can also create a good atmosphere as well as tension for trust issues.  The game is also good at teaching people historical facts such as famous leaders and cities and so this game can also teach history and strategy which can help some people learn history!!
