The Hardest Game in the World

It's not the funniest game. It's not the scariest game, It's not the most action packed game. It's not only the hardest game in the world, it's also the most frustrating game in the world. Most people can't beat this game without dying at least a thousand times, if you can, that's really impressive and... well, get a life :)

Deceivingly simple at first... 
The game begins quite easy for most people, making it to about the 6th or 7th level before they start dying a lot. I'm not most people.

This looks way easier than it actually is...
The game gets progressively more difficult and rage provoking. I don't recommend playing this game if you have anger issues as it might just be the death of you.

Level 30/30.. Only 526 deaths. Impressive. You try. You won't even get close to that.



Battlefield 4 Multiplayer

Collapse buildings with rockets and explosives.

I genuinely believe Battlefield 4 is the best multi-player FPS game available today. With the use of the latest and greatest 'Frostbite 3' engine this game has surpassed all other first person shooters in pretty much every area I can put my finger on.

Incredible graphics and visual effects.

Battlefield 4 really throws you into the front lines of battle and gives you the feel of being on a real battlefield, surrounded by tanks, helicopters, jets, armored cars and your allies you have the choice to march, drive or fly towards the enemy to complete your objectives.

"This game is truly a masterpiece, the combat on air and ground flow together smoothly and realistically, unlike any other game out today."






3 Horror Games Worth Playing

Outlast



"What do you do when you're alone in an abandoned asylum with psychotic inmates? When the whole facility goes dark and monsters start showing up? This game is not for first time horror players."

Amnesia: The Dark Descent


"The only game out there that will literally make you shiver in fear. Close the door, turn off the lights, get your headphones, and prepare to pee your pants."

State of Decay



"Although many people don't consider this a horror game, it can be full of jumps and creepy moments, along with great combat and choice of weapons."

Top 5 Games it's OK to cheat in.

OK, I'm not normally the type of person that would cheat in video games, but there are some where it's just part of playing the game. For example after I complete the GTA campaigns I like to have some fun with cheats just to see how much destruction I can cause.


5 - Age of Empires

Age of Empires is a great game but there's no denying the enhanced experience gained from cheats such as Instant build, Speeding naked villagers and monster trucks capable of ramming down jungles and armies alike.

They see me rollin'...

4 - Minecraft

I'm not a huge fan of cheating in minecraft, but everyone once in a while xraying feels necessary on pvp servers. Don't be hatin', we've all done it.

C'mon, you've done this before.

3 - Hitman II - Silent Assassin

Easily making it into my top 3 favorite games to cheat in is Hitman II, the main reason being it's absolutely hilarious, punching someone so hard they fly up into the air and disappear, or run in with unlimited ammo spraying bullets everywhere, sometimes cheating is more fun than not cheating in this game.


Game's as good as it looks.

2 - The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim

I thought an amazing time consuming game like Skyrim would be ruined with the use of cheats but I couldn't have been more wrong, Cheats in this game can have hilarious results as seen below.



1 - Grand Theft Auto

Every GTA game I've played, Vice City; Liberty City; III; San Andreas; IV and V I have cheated in. They are by far the most entertaining game to cheat in. Here's one of my favorites from GTA V.


Top 5 RTS Games


Now don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming these are they best RTS games out there but these are definitely my top 5. Some of them are quite old but I still have great fun playing them today, Especially on multiplayer. In case you're not entirely sure, Real-time strategy (RTS) is a sub-genre of strategy video game which does not progress incrementally in turns.

I don't own any of the images used in this post, Feel free to ask where I got them.

#5 - Company of Heroes

Zoom in on the action as your men fight for you!

The thing I love most about Company of Heroes is that as well as being able to control huge armies to fight an ongoing war, you can get right in on the action to see what you're troops are capable of. The key to this game and most other RTS games like it is that you can zoom right in on the action and watch your soldiers carry out your orders.

#4 - Civilization IV (2005)

Start off in pre-historic times and work your way to the future!

Civilization IV is a very unique game in comparison to other RTS games. There's so much I could write about this game but I'm going to keep it short. In Civ IV you can start from as far back as 4000BC, as a single unit of settlers on a vast earth map and research, pillage and conquer both militarily and culturally to expand your empire.

Nuke Germany! (Or anywhere else!)

Found dozens of cities and take over the world or be a peaceful prosperous nation feeding off superpowers, it's your choice. You can research your way into modern technology, finish the Manhattan project and nuke your enemies! (As seen in the image above.)

#3 - Command and Conquer: RA2

Paradrop your units into the action!

Red Alert 2 will always be one of my favorite RTS games of all time. The basic Idea of the game is you start with a construction yard and you have to build up a military camp with power plants, barracks, air fields and tank factories to raise an army and defeat your opponents with a limited amount of resources around you.


#2 - Age of Empires II (1999)

Attack tactically with organized formation!


Although it's quite an old game, It's difficult not to put AOE as number 1. Age of Empires is simple yet thoroughly enjoyable, Build up your city with houses for your people, stables for your horsemen, barracks for your infantry, a siege workshop for the heavy weapons and a castle for your king. The default objective of the game is to break through your enemy's defenses and kill their king. as soon as everyone's king is dead you win the battle, If your king dies, you lose.

#1 - Rome: Total War (2004)

Zoom in on 1000's of units each one fighting differently!

The scale of the battles in RTW is truly epic. Watch as literally thousands of men clash against eachother, Romans centurions in tight organized formation and Gallic barbarians fanatically sprinting at the enemy as a scare tactic. Besides the huge scale of battles another thing that is truly captivating about this game is the realism, Lay siege to cities, send assassins to kill enemies of importance, invade empires and take their people as slaves for your own, the possibilities are endless!
