The Walking Dead Episode 1 / Part 3

"A New Day: The Town"

We arrive at the town with no petrol left in the truck. We depart and move into the town hesitant from the destructive scenes before us. We are quickly met by a herd of walking dead and are immediately surrounded. Duck is grasped and taken down. It doesnt look good,Then BLAM! One clean shot is fired through the head of the walker that was toppled on Duck. A woman to our rescue shoots off another two and another man shouts us to enter a local shop getting us to safety just in time before we're surrounded by more of the dead.


We enter to a very hostile environment with a number of people displeased that theyve opened the gates and let us in not knowing who we are. We reassure them that we have children and there is no need for this hostility. One of the older men is furious with the decision and is lashing out at Duck. He thinks he has been bitten and is adamant that we should kill him. We show our loyalty to Kenny by protecting him and his Son. We get aggressive implying we will kick this old mans ass if he doesnt keep his mouth shut. Conversation is aggressive and emotions are high. We tell Kenny to kick his ass and knock him out. Kenny takes a big swiping arm and lands a sweet hit on the jaw of the older man. He retaliates with a big hook to Kennys face knocking him to the ground with ease.

"AAAAAAH" Clementine, who at this point has been trying to go to the bathroom, is attacked by a walker that was locked in there. We quickly rush to her aid falling in the process, probably due to the fact of our still injured leg. Groggy, we get up as fast as we can and push the walker off Clementine before she is hurt. We crash into a shelf and are toe to toe with one of the walkers. We rapidly try and push the walker off but it is a massive struggle. BOOM. The head of the walker explodes before our eyes. We turn and the same woman who saved us outside and done it again, just in time.

The oldman still furious and shouting falls to the ground. His Daughter comforts him and knows whats wrong. He needs his pills and has a heart problem. We offer to help and look for the medication to ease his pain. This point we are introduced to oldman as Larry his daughter Lilly. They are accompanied by a small fat man Doug and the woman who has saved us on 2 occasions Carly. We are also met by Glen who tells us that he is going to go to a motel  to get gas so we can leave this dreaded town. We pass him a walkie talkie and tell him to get in touch if need be and let him on his way.

We walk around the shop and have to find a way behind the shutters to get to Larry's medication. We wander picking up various supplies of energy bars and speak to each person to try and get to know them a little better. But enough procrastinating and we head for the door to search for a way to get the medication.

More information is clear that the shop owners that are not here are your family. We find a smashed photo of  our self, our mum, dad and brother. Carly enters the room unexpectedly and confronts us. She knows who we are and what we've done. She informs us that we are Lee Everit and that we killed the senit for sleeping with our wife. We keep quiet and inform her we want no trouble and there isnt any need to tell the others. She accepts comforting us that she wont tell anyone and lets us on with our task. We move a desk out the way of the door that leads to the pharmacy behind the shutter, but unfortunately the key for the door is locked. Unsuccessful so far we find out that Glen is stuck at the motel when he was trying to get supplies for the group. We get Carly and make our way to save him and bring him back putting the medication to one side hoping Larry can hold out a bit longer. Will he survive for when we get back?

The Walking Dead Episode 1 / Part 2

"A New Day Part 2: The Farm"

We leave the house and see two men trying to push a car out of the hectic abandoned road. We approach and are mistaken for the walking dead. We quickly assure them we are OK and do not intend to harm them and are just looking for some help. When questioned by one of the men our relation to Clementine we advise we are a neighbor he takes notice of this, as does Clementine. We greet and exchange names of the two men, Shaun and Ched. Conversation is short as we have to rush to get the car out of the road to get out of the town as the walkers quickly  approach. We quickly help and push the car out of the way and make our way for the truck that we intend to use to escape. A very close call as we jump into the car with Ched leaping into the back as walkers just miss our grasp.

This leads us into the night as we journey with the two men to a nearby farm. We are greeted by Shaun's Father, Hershal Greene the owner of the farm and we are interrogated from the outset of our whereabouts and our relations with Clementine. We choose again to explains we are a neighbor to Clementine which she agrees and tells him She is aware of who we are. Hershal kindly tells us we can stay the night and we will need to be on our way from there. He helps fix our injured leg still with a number of curious questions of our whereabouts and what our business is. We feel we have to lie as first impressions are everything and we dont want to explain that we were in a cop car on our way to jail. We tell him we were leaving Atlanta but mistake in saying we were with no one, Hershal is weary of our presence and it is very noticeable that he does not believe what we have said. Either way he lets us on our way to rest in the barn. One restless sleep later, with nightmares and screams which can be assumed to be of Lee's Wife, we are awakened by Kenny.

Kenny introduces us to his enthusiastic son Ken JR other known as Duck and his Wife Katjaa. We part with Clementine and are asked by Shaun to help with fixing the fence round the farm to protect it from walkers. We speak with Kenny first and learn he has a boat and offer a helping hand with the truck he intends to use to leave the farm with his family. He kindly declines and leaves us to help with the fixing of the fence. We meet up with Duck and Shaun at the back of the farm. Shaun is hard at work with Duck having fun on the tractor. Shaun expresses his opinion on what hes seen so far in the world as is turns for the worst. He tells us he has had to see a kid be shot not knowing if it was a walker or if he was just asking for help. We discuss family encounters keeping most information minimum as it stands.We cut the pieces of wood as Shaun's asks us to do so and leave. Shaun thanks us for the help and lets us know he is glad he didnt leave us behind.

We walk to the barn to speak to Hershel. He grinds us for the lies we told him the night before but doesnt make too much of it and gives us some advise for the future that we will have to trust a strangers judgement and that we will have to make hard decisions to stay alive.

"EUGHHHH"

Screams from behind the house are loud and halt the conversation with the rumbling sound of the tracker within the background. We run quickly to the back of the house where Shaun is lying trapped under the tractor with walkers inches away trying to break the fence. Duck is sitting upon the tractor and is grasped and pulled down by a walker. A split decision must be made. Its either to save Shaun or Duck. With no time for hesitation we run towards Duck and help the child first. We punch the walker twice till it loosens his grip on Duck and he is broken free. Meanwhile Shaun is cluttered under two walkers and is mauled by the walkers, Hershal shoots the walkers that surround him but it is much too late.

Hershal Screams and threatens everyone at the farm to get out and leave him be. Kenny offers us a lift into town which will help us progress in our journey. It is clear that Hershal no longer wants us at the farm with the death of his son. We accept and progress into the town. What other threats will lie in the town and will there be a safe place to lay low for us to survive?

The Waling Dead Episode 1 / Part1

Episode 1: A New Day

The story begins in the back of a Police Car with not too much information on why we're here. Being Questioned by the police officer we play it cool and express our innocence and humour him with pleasantries.

"WATCH OUT"

The cop not paying attention crashes into some ghoul on the road, the car spiraling out of control swerves off the road , tumbles and crashes down the hill. Groggy after the crash we hear screams and wake up not in the best condition with a damaged leg and the cuffs still tightly round our wrist. We see the cop lying, presumably dead, with blood all around his body. We look around the car and smash the side window to exit. We maneuver round the car, passed the shotgun and picking up the loose ammo just in case. Unfortunately our attempt to  pick up the shotgun is unsuccessful with the cuffs still at our demise. We approach the body of the cop and reach for the keys in his pocket. As we open the cuffs the cop awakens and jumps towards us. Startled we fall to the ground and back away from the cop not having a clue what is going on. We back into the police car picking up the shotgun as survival instinct and with no time to think or hesitate ... BOOM. One shot blowing the head right off the cop as he crashes to the floor.

Sitting in shock we see a young girl in the distance and shout for help hoping she will in some way aid the situation. Noises approach behind us and slow dead like figures begin to emerge from the bushes. They look worn down and most of them are crippled and ripped apart with limps hanging from there sockets. Not knowing what these things are and where to go we head for the first house jumping over the fence and into a strangers garden. Luckily gun shots are fired far in the distance which distracts these horrible beings. We approach the house, knock and hesitantly enter. Blood is smeared on the kitchen floor and it seems no one has been in the house for a while with all supplies but a walkie talkie left in the cupboards and drawers. 3 Messages have been left for a babysitter and a young girl called Clementine on the answer machine with each message being darker and darker giving us a bigger picture of the mayhem outside. But still no real details in what is going on.

The walkie talkie begins to crackle and Clementine being on the other side begins to talk. We find out she is an 8 year old girl and she has been hiding in the tree house as her babysitter was attacked and her parents out of town on a trip. We ask if she is safe and notice her in the tree house from the kitchen window. Suddenly she screams as we are attacked by a women who does no seem at all right we rapidly press X to push her off. We run, slip and fall on the pool of blood on the kitchen floor hitting our head of the cabinet. Our eye sight hindered we struggle to direct a boot to the womans face as it grabs at us. We crawl to the back door where Clementine hands us a hammer. One strike to the head collapses the dead like woman and 3 more blows to the head to make sure she wont get up. A pleasant way for a first impression to Clementine. We comfort her and our first big decision of the game is made we advise Clementine we will move quick before it is dark taking the safety of daylight and avoiding the darkness at all costs. Will this tactic be a wise choice?

What do you want to see?

Ive only been doing this for 2 months really now and trying to do as much as i can with reviews etc but id like to hear some feedback from the little people that read this blog.

I will be putting up a poll and i want you to decide which posts youd like to see. The content would be between the following;

The Last of Us Online -  Ive played a few games of this and its something that im really getting into. There are two game types of Survivor and Supply Raid. The basis of mulitplayer is to create a clan each game you get food and supplies to increase the number of people in your camp to avoid poeple getting sick or hungry and there are also a number of challenge to do within the games 12 week period. Survivor has no respawns and its basicallly 4 on 4 death match and to kill every enemy with a number of round. Supply raid is to collect as much food and supplies to try and grow your clan day by day. So the content il being will be how i play and perform and anything exciting that goes on really.

Fifa Pro Clubs -  I play this a lot and have a team with another one of my friends. This content will have the ups and downs and we try and win cup matches and progress in our leagues to get to the division one. This can contain trolling and screamers and i will try and get as much exciting stuff in as i can. And if possible low quality video of saved goals.


The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game Series -  This is a beloved game and has had heaps and heaps of praise and its something ive really wanted to get into as ive only played the first episode. It will basically be a walkthrough of each episode and what happens in each but it is definitely something il be getting and it is full of story and twists with a number of choices you can make as a character so it may be something you're interested in.

Other?  Any suggestions from your wonderful self would be appreciated if there anything youd like to see please let me know in the comments and it can be anything for the Ps3 as that is the only console i play. But yeah any suggestions will be considered as well.

Game Dev Story Mobile Review

 This is my first mobile game review and i feel the need to write this full thing on my mobile to spice things up a little.

Game dev story is a game that cost £1.99 on google store and let me tell you right now its worth the money.

It is simulation based game on running your own games company from scratch hiring employees to create the best games in the market  and it is a game that is surprisingly addictive. Sitting for endless hours trying to make the best videos games and reach the hall of fame is a daunting task that that you will not stop until you completed.

It is a game that has a lot of depth which creates for numbers of hours of fun as each year passes there is different events and award ceremony  for the best games giving  you a purpose to get your masterpieces in the hall of fame and finally winning that grand prize of the best game. After years pass consoles get discontinued when there outdated and new consoles come out. The names are innovative and funny from the playstatus to the, intended dig at the wii, the whoops and each console is a nice and strange design and it something that makes the game simple but just fantastic to play in finding out all the other consoles. The full design of the game is simple but satisfying and the sweet pixelated graphics are presented well throughout.

At the beginning of your company you have to hire 4 people from programmers, designers and sound engineers as with each game you create you need to have an employee to write the proposal, the graphics and the sound. As the game is developed you increase the fun, the creativity, the graphics and the sound and as you'd imagine the higher the better. As the game develops you can advertise your company from tv rights to a race sponsorship's to create a wider fan base and to sell more copies if your game. There is also a lot of variety as well with choices of game making from shooters to board games with genres that include robot to reversi and you as the owner have to decide which games and genres match for the better quality of game. For instance a robot shooter will be more popular than an action golf game as they dont match. If you create high levels of fun etc fans hear about your game and line up in stores which can get you pumped for your own game coming out , even though you never see the end product.

Another nice aspect which adds depth is that you have to debug your game and within this process a number of things can go wrong, like a black out which lowers your game points or another company can bring out a similar game which may reduce your sales but this add competitiveness and tension in the game.When you are finally finished with your product the critics will rate your game out of 40. If it gets over the 30 mark your game will enter the hall of fame and you can then make a sequel of that game.

As your company grows you can change building size and hire more staff in essence taking over the gaming industry making bigger and better products each year and creating the sequels your fans so much desire.

There is loads in this game and all the small and simple things will have you loving every minute. It will have you playing  for countless hours and still new consoles will come out and there is also a period in which you can create your own console. Yes you can make your own console. If you want a cheap game with a large number of hours that wont be wasted i recommend this game highly.

9 out of 10


Thanks for reading.

The Last of Us Review

The day has finally come, the chance for us all to play 'The Last of Us' and its something you definitely do not want to miss.

The Last of us really is something special, with a story that is compelling and beautiful with an amazing supporting cast that will give you an experience you wont forget.  It is nothing short of brilliant and it will have you engaged from the first second and throughout expressing a number of emotions in the process.The story has twists and turns that you will never expect leaving you astonished, shocked and near in tears with each piece of story tugging at your heart strings. You can feel every emotion of every turn; hatred, joy, sadness and you can really sense the feeling of fear that the characters have within this world. The amount of shocking events that happen in the game will leave your jaw firmly placed on the ground. Then there's the connection between Joel and Ellie which is heart felt to say the least. Each moment these characters converse together and everything they go through will take your breath away, leaving you anxious and nervous for their outcome.

"  ... Immediatly make you feel connected to Joel."









Now, this is something that goes missing within games, a real connection for the characters and it is in this aspect that 'The Last of Us' excels. From the outset you are put into a crazy world that will immediately make you feel connected to Joel and you will understand and correspond with his actions throughout the game. You know exactly why he is so connected to Ellie and you feel his emotions of pain and sorrow, as you start to get involved in Joels world. You begin to feel the same connection that Joel has for Ellie and this is magnificently presented throughout the whole of the game. A game that creates a sense of protection and caring for the characters that isn't usually seen in today's industry. However it is not just Joel's story it is also Ellie's story. Ellie is the key fact to the emotion of the story in the sense that everything she does creates a new emotion in Joel and the full experience really will have you torn up from start to finish.

The story isnt the only gem within the game, throughout you will encounter 4 types of enemies; the living, the infected,clickers and bloaters. The way in which you encounter these enemies is fantastic and you have to adapt your fighting styles to beat each enemy. It is very well designed how you deal with each enemy and you will have to adapt accordingly,  as it can go from high intensity gun fights to immediate stealth within just a few seconds. As bullets throughout are scarce it is the stealth that is key in creating a brilliant and tense affair. You will have to sneak by enemies and clickers in order to survive and this adds great tension every time. It again relates back to the connection of characters and you genuinely feel the fear that these characters have of trying not being found. The fighting can also be very satisfying as you punch you way through enemies with Joel interacting with the world flawlessly smashing enemies heads with the surroundings and it looks gruesomely slick.

" ... you will be in awe from the scenes that you encounter."





These surroundings are portrayed in a world that is astonishing and you will be in awe from the scenes that  you encounter. As you play through the apocalyptic world you are constantly doing something that engages your interest even when walking there can be explosion or screams from infected or living. The interactions in the game gets you involved so much within every aspect. As you wander, Tess and Ellie communicate constantly and its always interesting to hear what they say, never being  too much to get on your nerves, it is subtle but everything they say keeps you engaged and involved throughout the whole campaign. As stated the interactions are sublime in the game and how Joel interacts with the world that surrounds you is realism at its best. If you want to use a medikit you have to go into your bag take it out and wrap it round yourself to heal and this adds intensity within the game as you have to craft a number of things to use to your advantage and for your survival. You can also create upgrades to your weapons, although this aspect seemed lost with myself as when upgrading guns it didn't seem to make much difference with combat as i expected.

As the surroundings are so wonderful you cant help but explore them and this is exactly what Naughty Dog intended for us to do. There are a number of places and rooms you can roam when on a mission and this helps you find parts, weapons, food and all supplies you need to survive but that's not all. As you open up drawers and cupboards looking for that rag to create a petrol bomb you can come across some outstanding things such as letters of other survivors. This aspect really is something special as they are notes and letters from other survivors of their struggles and traumatizing events. Every piece you find you will stop to make the time to read it and find out something amount a character you don't even know and you feel that pain, it really is something special and fits perfectly with this apocalyptic world.

As you explore and run through the world you will enjoy every second of it. There is nothing you wont love about The Last of Us. It has a gripping story, brilliant game mechanics and high intense moments throughout that will have you on the edge of your seat. I honestly can not fault the game. This is a game that you do not want to miss and is a must buy for any Ps3 owners. So if you are a Ps3 owner and don't have the game, why are you still reading this? Go get it.

                                                               
                                                                     100 out of 100

The Best Games of E3

So with the sting of E3 still in all our minds and the anticipation of all the great games that are coming our way for the Next Gen Consoles us gamers are at a high buzz. What games are we most excited for and were we impressed from what we saw? Well these are a few of my favorite games of E3 sections from Xbox One, Ps4 and Multiplatform.


Xbox One

Now i thought what we were shown at E3 was brilliant. A world in which you create and can change as the game plays. From what was seen at E3 they created a town square and a number of characters were created and there was an awesome fight against goblins. But as you play you can control the world and create things to your advantage and it really did look like a very creative and fantastic game.

It was only a small taste but they have said you can create massive environments creating a number of characters with personalities and enemies to fight so there is a number of possibilities on how you can play this game, exclusively for Xbox One.


Ps4

Being a fan of the infamous series it was fantastic to finally see some gameplay in action for the new installment. This Infamous is an open world game and sees you take control of the character Delsin Rowe who has been described as a much different character from previous Cole Macgrath. He has similar power abilities however this time with smoke and its very interesting to see how it will fully work in the game.

Rowe differs greatly form Macgrath as he takes the role of the hero with confidence and has amoe arrogant side than the previous character. Not much has been told about the story but what we saw from E3 will have the fans ecstatic for the release, exclusive to Ps4.

Multiplatform

There were two games that have got us talking from E3 and the two of my favorites, as i could not just pick one included:

YES. FINALLY. GAMEPLAY. At E3 we were finally presented with some gameplay of how Destiny will look and it looked awesome. Slick graphics and a nice open world you can explore fully online with friends and others. The Demo we received was nice and really showed off what we can expect from the game and it has everyone buzzing and can potentially be one of the best games if it all works.

Heres a wee screen shot of the game as the two players went in to fight a tank like robot and everything that happened just looked beautiful. Also from the gameplay it was clear that it  took a big approach and i think will be a big part of the game and that thing is  loot. After they defeated the enemies they received a bunch of loot from weapons and some sort of currency probably that can be used in the game. Loot seems to be a big thing with games as people love it and it gives them a sense of purpose in the game. But what we seen from the game was brilliant.


Moving on to my favorite game of E3 and it came as a surprise to everyone and was kept very well under the radar for the event.

Now i dont think anyone saw this little gem coming and thats exactly what it was, an absolute gem. An online open world game in a post apocalyptic setting which just looked amazing. We saw at E3 a few players roaming the world and were attack by assumingly other online players at a run down building site.

This is a big game and we dont know too much about it, but it takes the theme of previous tom clancy games such as ghost recon which i personally love and enters in a beautifully run down and crumbling world. Hopefully we will see more to come with the next few months but this is a game that personally i will anticipate until its release.

E3: Microsoft Vs Sony

Now as E3 has finished the conversation between the console war is hotter than ever, but what did each company display at there conferences and what has us excited for each console and what aspects of the consoles make us want to buy them. Here i will  breakdown how each conference differed and some good selling points.






E3 kicked off with microsoft. Now a lot of people may have wanted some answered to various aspects of restrictions and games, enough of the tv aspect and show us games. And i think Xbox fans wouldn't have been disappointed in what they were presented with.

Firstly they came out to tell us though that there is a new xbox 360 model coming out and that Xbox live gold members will be getting 2 free games every month, similar to what Playstation do with some games for there plus members.

They then went on to discuss the Xbox one, stating that they will not be using Microsoft points but in standard currency for the likes of DLC's. They also discussed how you interact with the console and how you can view other players progress in real time. Also the console records some of your gameplay and also upload Live what your playing to Twitch tv which is an awesome feature for people who love to show off there gaming skills.

Games, this is where Microsoft surprisingly delivered showcasing a number of exclusive games. Now i wont go through them all in detail but i have produced a list of the games they showed.

• New Halo
• Titan Fall
• Ryse: son of rome
• sunset overdrive
• killer instinct
• Forza
• Quantam Break
• D4
• Crimson Dragon
• Project Spark

Microsoft showed some demos and trailers for these exclusive also presenting some exclusive contents for the mulitplatform games such as Battlefield 4. Now there is quite a number of exclusives for Xbox one and will have Xbox fans buzzing as a new halo has been announced and beautifully creative games like project spark being announced will sure to excite gamers everywhere. The console will be available in November and is priced at £429.

Moving on to the Sony conference. First off the went on to showcase what the PsVita has to offer in its 2nd year of the market. It went on t discuss how its for indie developers and that 85 games this year will be presented and it discussed that remote play with the ps4 will i guess work? but that function will only show when the console is out. The games that were presented for the vita were the likes of Killzone, tearaway, god of war trilogy, Batman and games of flower and dead nation coming as well. Also a new bundle will be available with the first season of Telltales The walking dead game with the Vita console.

What was good about the sony conference was that they showed a lot of gameplay. And for the Ps3 it was no different essentially showing off the final games that will come this year. The gameplay that was shown was more of The last of us, the pupateer, Rain, Beyond two souls and Gran Turismo. It also went to show the multi platform games of Batman and GTA 5 showing off some exclusive content with each game and a new bundle for the GTA5.

Finally for what everyone was there for to see the Playstation 4. However they started off pritty slow. They discussed a number of times how they focus on fans and the content they produce is tailored for gamers then they went on to discuss music and video features. They told us about an exclusive program plan and movies will be available for rental. A number of features and apps that Xbox one presented in there reveal with the likes of netflix and flixter apps. A start that was not too much exciting. Only exicting part was they finally showed off the console which really looks very similar to the xbox one. As i saw someone state on twitter its xbox one in italics which is bang on.

They finally went on to the games and exclusive PS will have. Again i wont discuss them all but have produced a list of what they showed off. Making note each game showed actual gameplay.

• Killzone Shadow fall
• Infamous second son
• The Order 1886
• Drive Club
• Knack
• Dark Sorcerer
• Final Fantasy
• Kingdom of hearts

A few short of what Xbox presented at their conference and with 4 games from that line up already being shown some may be slightly dissapointed. However it was very nice to see atual gameplay of the games that definetly got gamers excited. They also went on to discuss some exclusive content to multi platforms with the like of watchdogs.

They again went on to discuss how there about the gamers and a console for developers and they got out a number of indie studios that are making there games exclusive to Ps4 which is nice for the people who live indie developed games. They also showed us a remake of Abes oddesy and any playstation fan will be drooling at this. Well i know i was, but i may just have been drooling as it was approaching 4 in the morning but still its exciting nonetheless.

They also presented gameplay of destiny but i will go in that more detail at a later date. All you need to know is it was awesome.

Finally they got down to some technical stuff but really it was as slow and agonizing dig at Microsoft to be honest. Ps4 will be supporting used games which is delightful news and what it should be in  essence when you buy a game you have all rights to do whatever you want with the game, sell it, trade it and share it with friends. No online connection is needed and you can play your games as you like online or offline with no checks for connection hinting at what microsoft have done, stating they wont be doing the same. This aspect of the console could differ on what people get. As casual gamers who love the games that come out for both consoles may side with the ps4 as when they buy the game they can do what they want with it really.
The Price of the Ps4 will be £349 but no announcement of the release date was made.

Still the feud between the consoles is strong and it will go on for years to come but it really does come down to preference in the end. Which exlcusive games will you enjoy more will persuade the gamers and really some die hard fans of microsoft and sony just wont change. Regardless of the console war Each console showcased the Next Gen consoles brilliantly really showing off what they have to offer.

Football Manager: My Career so far

This is one of the first Football Managers that ive played once through and not stopped and started to go another team and its the furthest ive went in the career so i thought id share my 2012 to 2032 career with you. Yes ive played 20 years in the game so far and i am at the age of 45 so where is my career and where did it begin?

2012/2017

It begins in 2012 as i start my career with Rangers Fc in the 3rd division of the Scottish league. I start all football managers with Rangers and this was no different and was hoping for a good challenge to get them back in the Premier Division. This challenge was a very easy task winning the league in my first season and also winning the scottish cup so things were looking up from there. I continued my season into the 2nd Division winning the title unfortunately with no other trophies to add. My next season was just as simple winning the 1st division but again with no trophies. There was some hiccups within this season as players such as David Templeton refusing to stay and having a dressing room spat with Dean Sheils but all was still well as i progressed into the Premier Division. My first season was not all too successful for what i hoped for. I won the Scottish cup again but failing to do well in the league and finished 5th in the season. I felt from this i had to continue to try and justify my stay and i was close to winning the title in my final rangers season coming 2nd and again winning the Scottish cup and the Scottish league cup and so it was my 5 year career with rangers had ended but why ?

2017/2019

I was approached by a struggling Inter Milan, this was far too tempting to let go and to produce at a high level and get Inter back where they belong, and it was a poor decision. I struggled from the outset trying to get them back into a good position. I won the Italian cup but only finished 9th in the league. My 2nd season i was determined to get a high league position and i could only finish 5th but it was enough to secure me another job with hope of getting more trophies.

2019/2022

Marsielles' manager had retired after winning the league and they approached me after i declared interest. I felt this would be a good move as i could try and win the league again and get more trophies under my belt. However it was here my journey turned sour. I produced no trophies in my first season and finished 6th.  I was on the brink of being fired a number of times and somehow kept on with the skin of my teeth. My 2nd season i was determined to sign some good players and turn my luck around. I finished the league 2nd with a string of great results and just missed the top spot with a few points. I also won the french cup so i produced some silverware for the club. Then i stayed on to try and reach the title and i did no such thing. I was 9th in the league and sacked of my duties.

2022/2025

Unemployed and no job offer coming in i had to take a lower club. Fortunatley for me it was with a club i love. Hull City. Still in the championship i brought them to glory and won the league. The Premiership is where i was heading. I tried to sign some experienced players that were still in the game to try and keep me up in the premier division. I finished 17th in my first season just missing relegation. The next season i tried to build my squad as much as i could and i finished a respectable 12th in the league. My Next season it took a turn for the worst and i was not producing the wins at all and i was 20th in the league with 12 games gone. Luckily i was approached by a surprisingly good team.

2025/2028

West Brom. Now i know there not brilliant but remember we are in 2025 now and they were suppose to be finished within a euro finish. I unfortunately could not do this in my first half season and finished 9th in the league but they were happy to keep me on. My first full season i finished 4th which was a great achievement and champions league football was my way. This was short lived though and i was put out with ease in the champions league but this left he Euro cup. I finished 6th in the league which the board were not happy about but i had won the Euro cup beating Man Utd in the final. I tried to follow on this for next season but finished 5th in the league with no trophies and i was sacked. The west brom board clearly had very high standards.

2028/2030

Thankfully i Was approached by Real Socidad and they were well represented in the spanish league so i jumped at the chance to manage there. My first season was a great success finished 5th in the league, winning the spanish cup and also AGAIN winning the Euro cup against Man City in the final so it was a very successful start to my career. My next season i began to lose my love for the club and wasnt enjoyin playing the game as much, i finished 5th in my season and won the spanish super cup at the start of the 2nd season. But i could no longer be at the club i felt i done everything i could so i resigned from my post and waited for a change for my career.

2030/2032

It was after a year of unemployment i took the job at Holland. Thinking of trying to produce silverware in the European championship within the next 2 years. I won my qualifying group with ease and everything was looking up but i was approached within this period of national triumph. I was approached by Ajax and Arsenal. This was a very hard decision to make arsenal were sitting 6th in the league where as Ajax were first half way through the season. I wanted to stay at Holland but there was still a long wait to the 2032 European championship.

I took the Ajax Job the thought of more trophies was too tempting and trophies is exactly what i got. The dutch of class was in me and i triumphed winning the league in my first season and again winning the Euro cup destroying my old club Inter Milan with ease.

And so the European Championship was upon us. This was the best football ive seen and a destroyed every team that i came up against. I beat Spain 6-1 in the group stages topping my group. I destroyed wales 4-1 in the first round. Then it was Portugal to feel my wrath as i beat them 3-0 and the were the previous winners so it was looking very good from here. I went on to beat Italy 2-1 in the semis and i was presented with France in the final. I went 1-0 down at half time and it looked bad from there but i came back and won 2-1 and i was ground the European Champions. This took my decision to resign from here as 12 of of winning players were over the age of 30 so i felt someone had to come in and take over.

So here we are beginning another season with Ajax in the year 2032. I will be trying to finish my career in Football Manager if its even possible. It cant go on forever so i want to play the game till the end. I will update here when i retire which may be another 20 years when i am 65 who knows.

That is my career so far. Hope you enjoyed reading my 20 years spent in this game and i will do my best to finish before the next one comes out which is still a while away.

Thanks For reading

Metro Last Light Review

Last Bullet. Last Breath. Last Chance.

And with 'Metro Last Light' it really is your last Bullet your last breath and your last chance to right your wrongs and redeem the choices you've made in the past. 

As soon as the game begins you are immersed in the post-apocalyptic atmosphere in Moscow fighting for your own survival and trying to make sense of humanity in the world that you live. You play as the character Artyom one year after the events of Metro 2033 where the ending saw you call a missile strike to take down the Dark ones. Now as humanity has taken shelter within the 'safety' of the Metro undergrounds it has become apparent that there is a dark one who has survived the chaos. Your objective is to find the last surviving Dark One and destroy it. Upon finding the last dark one seeing that it is only a mere child you are hesitant to do any harm and in turn  you are captured  by the Nazi Reich. Now, captured you must escape and continue your mission in finding the Dark One to finally end it all.  The story spirals with horror, betrayal, fear and potentially girly screams as mutants attack you from the darkened underground and the Nazi Reich in your way, which creates a tense challenge throughout.

" Every scene you cant help but stop and admire what surrounds you ... "






Metro Last Light is hauntingly beautiful as it sets the scene in the post apocalyptic Moscow. You travel the dark undergrounds that are nothing short of breathtaking and present a fearful atmosphere throughout. You will have to venture to the ruins above the metro where you must keep a gas mask to prevent death from the intoxicated air. This brilliant level design captures you from the outset and its clear the developers spent a lot of time in creating such good quality levels to really capture a true sense of destruction in this post-apocalyptic world. Every scene you cant help but stop and admire what surrounds you, obviously after you blast your way through some animal infected mutants. These fantastic visuals with a compelling story of the character in essence trying to right his wrongs from the past create a brilliant story lined game that you cant not enjoy.


This enjoyment of fantastic scenery is not taken away with some smart gameplay mechanics. This aspects varies throughout the story and there are a number of ways in how you can complete each level. It was surprising with the amount of options you have, to get from point A to B. The biggest surprise was the amount of stealth that was needed to get past enemies which was brilliant for the theme of the game it added tension and on the edge of your seat game play, hoping the next enemy wont see you before you plunge a knife to his chest which in most games is gruesomely satisfying. As you progress through stealth you can unplug lights to make the mission more dark which hinders the sight of the enemies and you can easily sneak by them. This worked well,however sometimes it seemed a bit silly. As you sneak by and turn off all the power in some missions no one actually notices that its went pitch black. Only on some occasions they notice and say they'll check the generator but for most of it they just went on as nothing happened. Furthermore when you turn off a bulb next to an enemy on all occasions no one notices, and i reckon this is something someone would notice as sudden darkness surrounds them.This takes away some of the tension within the game and creates some stealth moments a bit too easy. There is also the issue with the enemy AI being in essence, dumb. If you are unable to sneak by them and it turns out to an all guns blazing frenzy (although fun) the enemies seem a bit clueless at times. They constantly run past you or they are just sitting in corners where you can run up and stab them and it does slightly take you away from the experience. This is not the same for the Mutants that you have to fight off. They are ruthless at running towards you and can seem a bit smarter in where they attack and if there is more than one they can easily surround you. Another aspect of the game that jolted the experience was the pacing of the game it seemed to move slowly and as i wanted to progress NPC's were still looking behind them talking to me as if i wasn't there and the movement of the character as well seemed at times slow. Even when on highest sensitivity it seemed oddly slow.

 " ... every bullet and every breath really do count."




However this is side stepped by some brilliant game mechanics that create deep tension and will have you panicking from start to finish. The amount of bullets you get and the little amount of supplies that you have that can cause infuriating challenges within the game, but it works. In each level you really do need to be efficient with your bullets because if you run out your in for a horror show and it can be very difficult to progress. Also with gas masks they aren't always about  and if you have a cracked one when you reach the surface it becomes a tactical challenge. You can find yourself constantly dying because your gas mask is damaged and when you take any sort of contact with enemies it can fall off leaving you in a state of chaos. You can try and sprint to your objective which in turn most likely wont work. It creates some tactical smartness in the game  having to put it on only when you need to breath and taking it off when in combat just in case. Although this can be extremely infuriating within the game it went well with the whole aspect of this post apocalyptic world as every bullet and every breath really do count.



 Metro Last Light is a fantastic game and really shows how brilliant visuals and a good story with fun game play can make a really good game. Throughout you will have action, tense exciting moments with stealth and jump out your seat horror all in the one game and it works really well together.
