Sims 3

Sims 3 is a game you will love at moments and unfortunately get bored of quickly! The reason why I say you would get bored of this game is in result of the game is very repetitive. But don't let that stop you from playing this game, because me personally I love playing this game. My favourite part is creating a character and their imaginary world. In this blog I'm going to explain why I like playing this game but also how I get bored so quickly.

First of all, I'm going to talk about my experience with this game. In my opinion the best part about this video game is building your house. Basically you can build your dream house that you always hoped and wanted. There's a million different ways to build your house in this game because they have plenty of options and different kinds of materials to build it. For example, if you want a carpet, tile or wood you are free to do so. You can also build a garden, do your lawn, everything you can imagine. The building part of Sims 3 just makes this game so fun!

Now for the boring part, this game is really repetitive. The one thing I don't like is after you build your house and get settled in your new home there really isn't anything else to do after that. what's repetitive is that, you have to work, come back home, make dinner then sleep. The same actions get repeated over and over again. I understand that they tried to make this game realistic compared to life. The thing that gets frustrating is you don't see what's happening at work you have to wait till he's done. I think for the next Sims that they create, the gamers should be able to go to work with our Sims characters. Also, when it comes time to class we do the schooling for our Sims ourself.

Flappy Bird

What is the best game on your phone to ever be created? If I were to anwser that question it would be Flappy Bird! A game on your phone that you can play in the car or waiting at the doctor’s. Basicallyyou can play this game anywhere you want all you need is a phone! The only sad thing about this game is that it was that it has been removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play on February 10 2014.(1) So if you didn't download this game already you shouldn't be getting your hopes up to play it!

Let's talk about the reason why this game was removed from the world! The creator of this game is (1) Dong Nguyen. He was also the one who decided to take down the game and I respect his decision. (2) Nguyen took the game down because of how addicting it was, Nguyen wasn't able to sleep because of this app. According to him it was not a mistake to remove Flappy Birds and I agree because it was the most addicting game I have ever played in my life! At one point I was playing it for fun and to beat my high score. It took plenty of hours out of my day when I could have done something useful, so I started to regret playing this game but it was just so addicting that I couldnt stop. Once Nguyen has removed Flappy Bird from the Apple App Store and Google Play, people went crazy and started to buy phones who had already had the game downloaded. They started to buy phones that costed a couple hundred more but they felt  the phone was worth just to play that game! Basically this game corrupted the minds of some people. As much as I hate this game cause it killed my social life for a good period of time, I still do think it was the best game to ever be created on a phone.

FIFA 14

Soccer Soccer Soccer! In my opinion it is the world's most famous sport. (1) Fifa 14 topped the charts January 25 for being the most selling game in the United Kingdom. This video game was released, September 24 2013. (2) I believe this game was on the top of the charts because of the gameplay and realistic graphics.

The gameplay in Fifa soccer 14 was spectacular! What has impressed me the most is all the fancy moves you can do with the ball. In a sport where there's a lot of movement such as soccer, you would think that it would be more complicated to play on a console. Although, I think it's the easiest sport game to play. EA Sports has done a great job making this game simple to play. It's not a game were you have to play it plenty of times to be good at, that's what I love about it. I'm not the biggest soccer fan but I love the game because it's fun and competitive so everyone can play. Finally, my favorite part of the game is celebrating after a goal! You get the options to do plenty of different celebration to rub it in your opponent's face, I love it!

Since we touched base on the gameplay next I'm going to be talking about how realistic this game is! Everyone has probably watched a soccer game and after playing this game, would agree with me on this one. What I have realized watching soccer games are that the fans can be a big factor in the sport. They are always cheering and chanting like it's a party in the stands. EA Sports has focused so much this year on the fans and made sure they look just as real then the players and in Fifa 14. While you're playing you actually feel like you're on the field and all those fans are cheering for you! To me it not only made this game good but great. Even the smallest things can make the biggest difference. The fans go crazy after scoring a goal just like in real life which causes a change of atmosphere after a goal is scored. It's amazing how far Fifa 14 has come and I know the game can only get better therefore I can't wait to play Fifa 15!
