COD: Black ops 2 Zombies

Over the past months, this is the one game that I have been constantly coming back to. Forget the campaign and the multiplayer, this is one game I cannot put down.

For people that do not know, it is part of Black Ops 2, available on PS3, Xbox and PC. At its heart, it is just a hoard mode, with lots of zombies to dispatch of. With a few modes, survival is the most fun. Start with nothing, and build your weapons and money up by killing the undead hoard, and survive as long as possible.

The game quickly racks up the speed and pace, and can get overwhelming very fast.


In further articles I hope to describe some of my tactics that help me to get further in the game, and I hope that there will be some information there that will help some people raise there game.

In all, this is one game that I would recommend to anyone that likes FPS games. Its tense, and rewards players who play and practice and strive to get better. Playing online is fun to, but the one thing I found is that playing with people that you don't know makes this game much harder. Get your regualar gaming buddies together, and plug your headset in, and you will be in good stead for a great night of intense gaming.

Another computer game... Rocksmith

Yeah, I know this is supposed to be a board gaming blog. But there are only three computer games that I am interested and follow, one being EvE, one being Rockband, and the other is focus of this post.

I have been following Rocksmith for a while now. It is out in the USA, and due for release in Europe on September 28th.

Rocksmith is a music game, with one huge difference. It comes with a usb cable to plug into your guitar. Yes, any guitar. Whilst Rockband 3 had their Fender Squire, it was very expensive for what you got. Now with this game, you can use your own guitar that you learnt to play on. This will make the game slightly easier to play using your own guitar, but no less of a challenge.

On the disc there are some very good songs, such as The House of the Rising Sun, (I cant get no)Satisfation, Plug in Baby and Slither, and the DLC is even better. Freebird, Black Parade, Hanger 18, the list goes on and on.

By the looks of things, put this game on the hardest setting and actually learn to play the songs. So this makes this more of a game, and into the realms of a learning tool. The technology looks sound, but only time will tell if it works. I also think that the style in how you play your guitar could make or break this game, hopefully it will be able to differentiate between different fingerings of the same chord, something that Rockband could not.

Expect a full run down after September 28th, as this is one thing high on my list of things to buy.
