Fable 2 review

First Game Review:
Fable 2
*Spoilers*

                        Oh, yes! Fable 2. One of the few video games that sparked my love for adventure, and fighting. I can’t exactly straight out tell you that it’s good or bad. But, I can explain my reasoning. 

The game starts with your character walking with your sister. You come across a stand selling a music box. (That music box will be referenced throughout the game.) Any way you meet a mysterious lady telling you to buy the box. You get the money, and wish to live in the castle. But, that doesn't turn out good, and your sister dies. 
Oh dear. Your goal throughout the game is find the other 3 heroes and get revenge on the man who killed your sister. Lucien. He alone, has wronged every one of the heroes. The Mysterious lady promises their sweet revenge on him.
            I have to say, I love the story and plot altogether. But, I disliked the ending. Usually, you end a game off with something that leaves the audience breathless. Something that makes the viewer’s speechless. Astonished! But the ending was, you soil Lucien’s plans, and get ‘em good. That’s it. It kind of makes me sad. You have to work so hard to even get there. And when you do, it disappoints you greatly.
            Enough about the ending though! The middle, the actual story is where it’s at. The adventures are great. The feeling of accomplishment when you level up a skill. The sweet fighting in the Crucible, just for the revenge. The finding secrets and treasure. And the love you find, and family you create. It’s simply wonderful.
             Beside from the actual story, you can go on side quests. Usually just for money and experience. Each have a significant way of getting the player more involved each time. Some side quest are needed to move on in the actual game. Heck! You don’t even have to do those! But, it usually makes the game even harder, more so than it already is. Without money that is...

            Over all if I were to give this game a score, it would be 8/10.
I highly suggest this game! Especially if you love fantasy, adventure.

My top ten games to play on a rough day

Hello! This is my top ten list for video games to play on a rough day. This is just my opinion, not at all facts. Enjoy

10. Terraria.
 I only recently bought this game, and thoroughly enjoyed it! If your having a rough day and want a game to wind down to, this is a great choice. The great atmosphere and simple music just melt your worries away.

9. Limbo.
I have always loved puzzle games, and something with a challenge. But, this game has the best ominous, calm play through. It's something you can come back to, sink into your chair and enjoy. Definitely a game I recommend.

8. Animal Crossings.
Aw yes. a classic, wonderful game. I've had the game since I was a child, and still enjoy it today. It's a nice RPG , with simple goals of every day life. Paying off your loan, customizing your character, and decorating. Definitely recommend.

7. Harvest Moon.
Oh yeah. A sweet series, with simple goals, just as animal crossings. Every day life events, and some not so every day life events too. Fairies, goddesses, and a family. Make a family, and make a farm. Just as simple as that.

6. Pikmin.
This simple game style, makes it perfect to relax to, and enjoy. Collect more Pikmin, and make them help you with your tasks! Build your ship up again, and overcome many obstacles.

5. Grand Theft Auto.
What? A not so simple game? Yes, because of the style of GTA, you can goof off and slack on the real tasks of the game. It's a great game if you want to let all your anger out!

4. The Sims.
I guess you could call this a life simulation game. Create the perfect you, or not you and make them do all the wacky this you want. You can have them fall in love, or you could break your heart. A perfect way to spend a bad day.

3. Assassins Creed.
This, is definitely a game to play if you want to let out all your frustration! And maybe some sweet parkour on the side.

2. Portal. 1 and 2.
A classic game of puzzles and mind games. If you haven't already played this, go ahead. It's a great game! You get so wrapped up in the game, you completely forget every thing bad happening to you. Great way to spend a day. Although frustration may occur, and yelling at your T.V also might happen.

1. Minecraft.
This may not come to you as a shocker, but hey let's face it, it's pretty good. A survival building game. Make a house, find food an survive. Also get some furry friends on the way.

Hope you liked it :)
