Act Of Valor Review

Video games are big business. It's a multi-billion dollar industry that includes the most profitable entertainment product of all time in Grand Theft Auto 5 , and it continues to grow with each and every gaming generation. With Google considering entering the video game console market , there's every chance that things could get even hot


The title certainly has its issues, with an overall weaker story and the inexplicable addition of loot box microtransactions that has received plenty of criticism. However, overall it's still an excellent game for players who want more of that blend of Assassin's Creed and Lord of the Rin


Much was made of the release of Call of Duty: WWII , with Sledgehammer Games finally bringing the Call of Duty franchise back to its Second World War roots. From a commercial perspective, the game has been a smash hit, selling twice as much as the previous game during the first few weeks of its rele


This caught the ire of some of the gaming community, with some seeing the lawsuit as an unnecessary flexing of muscles from Bethesda to try and stop an issue that was never there in the first place. However, the two companies did come to an agreement - Mojang did not trademark the name Scrolls , with Bethesda allowing the name to be held as long as the game never became a competitor to The Elder Scrolls in gene


One of the more alluring pieces of Fortnite is that fact that you can destroy pretty much anything. And those materials that you gain from destruction can then be used to build any size fort you wish. The building isn't for noobs, there is a learning curve. But one of the main things that you realize is that those things you build can be easily destro


You may look a bit like an idiot, but your high punches will have a better chance of landing on your enemy's face. In essence, you will be getting "head shots" with your fist. Your opponent will take more damage from a hit to the head than a hit to the b

No game genre has swept the world more thoroughly than the battle royale, and it is all thanks to one game in particular for this genre's rise to popularity. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds took gamers by storm, and to this day, it still hasn't let go. It has become a game that streamers utilize to gain more viewers, that consoles jump at the opportunity to feature, and Solstice exclusive gear that other companies strive to copy . ( Call of Duty, anyo


However, you can use this knowledge to your advantage. If you want to lay a trap for someone in a building, close the doors behind you and lie in wait so that your victim will think that no one has yet entered. Be proactive when it comes to door knowledge in P


Infamous lawyer Jack Thompson, who became a major player in the violent video games furore of the 1990s and 2000s, took Sony to court over the shooting of police officers Arnold Strickland and James Crump, and dispatcher Leslie Mealer. Thompson stated that the killer, Devin Moore, was recreating scenes from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City , and blamed Sony and Rockstar for the murders. The case was thrown out, however, with the game covered under the First Amendment according to Alabama's Supreme Co


Bethesda is no stranger to a lawsuit, however, as shown by a previous legal battle from the company. In March 2011, Minecraft developer Mojang announced its second game, a collectible card game called Scrolls . However, apparently the name of the game put Bethesda on edge, thanks to their own series The Elder Scrolls , and the company sued Mojang over how close the names of the games w

Unfortunately, while Act of Valor succeeds as a love letter to servicemen, military families, and anyone who has ever sacrificed for the good of their country, the film itself, from a cinematic standpoint, is a disjointed mishmash of gripping behind-the-scenes details and compelling combat sequences, paired with awkward performances and a generic (as well as jumbled) terrorist storyline. There's absolutely no doubt that moviegoers who have been touched by military service in one way or another will likely connect with the characters and situations portrayed in the film; however, for film fans and cinephiles looking for a gritty military ops movie, there are a number of shortcomings that will undermine the Act of Valor 's imp

Sniper Elite has been one of the most quietly effective franchises in the video game landscape, starting life as an initially niche stealth shooter and growing with each and every release. Although there have been criticisms leveled against exactly how well the different gameplay modes gel together, Sniper Elite 4 has managed to link the various play styles better than any other game in the ser


Of course, the year was not without its troubles. One look at the most anticipated games of 2017 paints a picture of delayed releases and disappointing launches for some of the most-wanted games, while troublesome and predatory business practices such as the ongoing gaming loot box problem has hampered the success of titles such as Star Wars: Battlefront II . It's definitely been a year of ups and do
