Introduction- Final Aesir

Throughout my years and experience of playing video games and with the help of a friend (Matt) convincing me to do this blog. The both of us will be just be talking about video games. We will be talking about any game that interest us. That could be anything from fighters, shooters, RPG's, mmo's action adventure, as well as any type of video game news that is going on at the time that, we and possibly the viewers find interesting. I am a college student (junior) in San Antonio, Texas just doing what any other college student would be doing during the summer....working. Great, I need to save some money. Matt and I thought it would be a good idea to create a blog just to get our ideas out there, we do not really care if anyone reads it. Since we have known each other, a lot of our other friends have always come to us on what the next good game is checking out, or any kind of gaming news that they have not heard about yet. When we started making this blog happen, we did not want to be some of those people how are narrow minded about games and have extreme bias towards their games.  When we talk about a games, one of our number one priorities are to not have any bias in our articles, no matter what. There will always be a reason why we like and/or dislike a game. I'm not talking about lame excuses for example: I'm not good at it, or I die a lot. Another on would be Portal 2, I know it is a fantastic game...it is just not my type of game. I'm not in to puzzles, but i do acknowledge that it is an absolute stunning and complex game. Matt is not really in to Games similar to L.A Noire, but in my case I thought it was amazing! I actually just beat it recently and i would recommend it to anyone would loves crime solving+ grand theft auto.

All in all, we are here to talk about video games and video game news. So you can beat we are going to talk about games at E3 for sure.I hope you enjoy, and any recommendation on what we can do better, please let us know. Thank you

The Difference Between Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3

Ok...here is what I have to say about MW3. Since I was going to post up this video anyway, indeed Infinity Ward is going to be making this game, which is probably the one of the main reasons of me getting this game, but the question I'm asking is...What is this game going to offer that MW2 and Black Ops hasn't already done? I feel like it is going to a very similar game just maybe some news types of modern day guns and perhaps some new kill streaks. They are even using the same engine that they used in MW2, meaning visually it is going to look exactly the same. I can only see myself getting this game simply because of the story line since all the "Modern Warfare" games are connected. This is why I think Battlefield 3, is going to be a well made game compared to MW3. Battlefield overall is a much more realistic game, as far as vehicles they have everything from 4 wheelers to F16's in not just single player story, but multiplayer as well. The engine they are using makes the game play natural. In MW2 if you got in an AC130 you would destroy the whole map from the damage of that plane, but the engine of MW2 does not allow that. In BF3 that is possible. When you fly an Apache, you would leave craters in the ground from all the explosions from it, possibly making it impossible for the enemy team to cross the bridge with their tanks...THATS REALISTIC...it makes the game a lot more natural and for each game to always be different. What's real about a 9 year old sprinting (forever, like you don't get tired) and using duel shotguns. To top it off they would kill you three miles away with it(exaggerating).Now I’m not saying that BF3 does not have its bullshit too, but it has a lot less then MW2. Also BF3 is much more team oriented then MW2 is. For example I have a lot of friends who are really good at MW2. They all have a group of friends that play and they do really well, but what ends up happening is they all end up carrying the rest of the team. Meaning the only reason my friends are winning is because they end up making up for all the deaths of their other teammates. In BF it is more objective, if you are dominating the field and doing what you are supposed to, it doesn’t mean you are going to win. Now there is nothing wrong with all this, if you are one of those people who all they want to do is shoot...that is fine, there is nothing wrong with that. If you were to play more objective based games, I see it has playing Team Deathmatch and Team Objective. Since not only to you have to kill people, but you also have to play as a team to reach the objective. For people who have not seen BF3, here is a video and see for yourself. The game has the new Frost Bite 2 Engine which pretty much blows any other game to date as far as graphics. The Engine they used makes everything destructible. For example is a sniper is camping in a building in MW2 what can you do? Before you kill him, he is mostly likely to kill you a couple times first or someone. In BF3 if that happened simply blow up the building with a tank or Plane, he won’t be going there and no one else will again. I’m not trying to persuade anyone, this is the facts that I have found about both games so far.
