Story

Set in 2014, Sgt. Blackburn leads a five-man squad on a mission to find and safely return a US squad investigating a possible IED in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, whose last known position was a market controlled by a hostile militia called the PLR. Several weeks later, the US sends Marines into Iran. Naval aviator and F-18 pilot Lt. Hawkins engages fighters over Iran and takes part in an air strike against Mehrabad Airport. In the aftermath of the air strikes, Blackburn and his squad are sent to Tehran to perform battle damage assessment and apprehend the leader of the PLR, Al-Bashir. While investigating an underground vault in the target's suspected location, Blackburn and his team learn that the PLR acquired Russian portable nuclear devices, and that two of the three devices are missing. Being overrun, and requesting back-up, an M1 Abrams convoy led by Sergeant Miller is deployed to extract Blackburn's team. Miller facilitates Blackburn's helicopter extraction, but is captured when waiting for a Quick Reaction Force. Miller is promptly executed by Solomon and Al-Bashir, with the event being filmed.

Later, Blackburn and his squad manage to capture Al-Bashir, who realizes Solomon betrayed him and reveals his plot to detonate the nukes in Paris and New York, before dying from the wounds he sustained in his capture. Blackburn's team also gets a lead on an arms dealer, Kaffarov, who was working with Solomon; however, while pursuing Kaffarov, the Americans encounter a large Russian force, who are also attempting to apprehend Kaffarov and are hostile towards the Americans. Almost all of Blackburn's squad is killed, while a Spetsnaz team led by Dima assaults Kaffarov's villa. Dima successfully interrogates Kaffarov, and reveals Solomon's plot to Blackburn.

Blackburn's commanding officer arrives and to save Dima's life and let him escape, Blackburn shoots his CO. Due to this, Blackburn is captured and interrogated by agents within the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and explains all of his previous operations to them in flashbacks. During Blackburn's capture, Dima attempts to stop the attack in Paris, but he is unsuccessful and his team is wounded in the resulting detonation. The CIA agents do not believe Blackburn's story, since Solomon is a CIA informant and there is no concrete proof of his involvement in the terrorist attacks. They instead believe that Russia is responsible for the attacks and that Dima had played Blackburn.

Left with no other option, Blackburn and surviving squad member Montes break out of captivity to stop the attack in New York. Solomon shoots Montes, but Blackburn manages to kill Solomon in the resulting melee, as well as recovering the last nuclear device. In the epilogue, having been diagnosed with radiation poisoning, Dima writes about the efforts of both him and Blackburn to stop Solomon's plot. He then readies his gun when a knock is heard at his door.

About Skyrim:

The Empire of Tamriel is on the edge. The High King of Skyrim has been murdered. Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons.

Features:

Skyrim reimagines the open-world fantasy epic, pushing the gameplay and technology of a virtual world to new heights.
Play any type of character you can imagine, and do whatever you want; the legendary freedom of choice, storytelling, and adventure of The Elder Scrolls is realized like never before.
Skyrim's game engine brings to life a complete virtual world with rolling clouds, rugged mountains, bustling cities, lush fields, and ancient dungeons.
Choose from hundreds of weapons, spells, and abilities. The new character system allows you to play any way you want and define yourself through your actions.
Battle ancient dragons like you've never seen. As Dragonborn, learn their secrets and harness their power for yourself.

Character development:

Character development is a primary element of Skyrim. At the beginning of the game, the player selects one of several human, elven, or zoomorphic human races, each of which has different natural abilities, and customizes their character's appearance. A perpetual objective for the player is to improve their character's skills, which are numerical representations of their ability in certain areas. There are eighteen skills divided evenly between the three schools of combat, magic and stealth. Training skills until the necessary required experience is met results in the player's character leveling-up. Previous Elder Scrolls games made use of a class system to determine which skills would contribute to the character's leveling, but its removal in Skyrim allows for a preferred play-style to be developed naturally. When their character levels, the player may choose to select a skill-specific ability called a perk, or store perks for later use. Upon levelling fifty times, the player character can continue to level and earn perks, but the rate of levelling is slowed significantly.

Combat:

A heads-up display appears when any one of the player's three attributes are being depleted. Health is depleted primarily through combat and can be restored by spells, potions, or resting; the loss of all health results in death. Magicka allows for and is depleted by the use of spells; it is regenerated naturally over time, but it can be restored in similar ways to health. Stamina determines the player's effectiveness in combat and is depleted by sprinting, jumping, and power attacking, but can be restored in similar ways to health and magicka. The player's inventory can be accessed from the menu and items can be viewed in 3D, which may be essential in solving puzzles found in dungeons. The player's effectiveness in combat relies on the use of weapons and armor, which may be bought or created at forges, and magic, which may also be bought or unlocked. Weapons and magic are assigned to each hand, allowing for dual-wielding, and can be swapped out through a quick-access menu of favorite items. Shields can be used either to fend off enemy attacks and reduce the damage intake, or offensively through bashing attacks. Blunt, bladed and hacking weapons can be used in close combat and each have specific advantages and roles; as an example, the player can perform power attacks with each weapon. Magic can be used in the form of spells; each of the eighty-five spells has a different function, such as the regeneration of health or the depletion of enemy health. The bow and arrow may be utilized in long-range combat, but the bow can be used as a defensive melee weapon in close combat. Another change from previous games in the series is the elimination of weapon and armor durability; in which a player would periodically have to repair or pay to have items repaired or risk rendering them broken and unusable.
The player can enter a sneak mode and pickpocket, or deliver sneak attacks to unsuspecting enemies. If the player drops unwanted loot, such as a shield or item of clothing, some NPCs will attempt to pick the item up, some even asking the player's permission to take the item.


Setting
Skyrim is not a direct sequel to Oblivion, but a new chapter in the Elder Scrolls series, set 200 years after the events of Oblivion. Following the death of Martin Septim and the end of the Oblivion crisis, this heralded the beginning of the Fourth Era. A Colovian warlord from Cyrodiil named Titus Mede conquers the Imperial City, beginning the Mede dynasty in absence of the previous Septim bloodline. In the Empire's weak state, the provinces of Elsweyr, Black Marsh, Valenwood, and the Summerset Isles secede from the Empire. The provinces of the Summerset Isles and Valenwood, home to the Altmer and Bosmer, respectively, create the Aldmeri Dominion, an Elven empire, and rename the founding provinces to "Alinor". Thirty years prior to the events of Skyrim, the Thalmor, who govern the Dominion, begin to invade both Hammerfell and Cyrodiil, beginning the "Great War", due to a rejection of an ultimatum presented by a Dominion ambassador to the current Emperor, Titus Mede II. The Empire manages to survive the Thalmor assault by agreeing to sign the "White-Gold Concordat", a treaty which prohibits the worship of Talos throughout the Empire. Following the end of the Great War, the Blades, an order of warriors devoted to the protection of the Emperor of Tamriel, are hunted down and killed by the Thalmor, or else seclude themselves from the rest of the world, with the Emperor protected instead by an elite Imperial security force known as the Penitus Oculatus. Ulfric Stormcloak, the Jarl of Windhelm, establishes the Stormcloak faction and rebels against the Empire in order to liberate Skyrim in response to the ban of Talos worship. This culminates in Ulfric killing Skyrim's High King, Torygg, in a duel. The Empire responds to the death of the High King by deploying the Imperial Legion to quell the rebel threat.
As with previous Elder Scrolls games, Skyrim begins with the player character as an unknown prisoner, caught in an Imperial ambush while attempting to cross the border into Skyrim, on a wagon with several Stormcloak prisoners and a horse thief. They are all headed to Helgen to be executed. As the player character is about to be beheaded, a Dragon arrives, interrupting the execution and destroying the town. The player eventually learns that Skyrim's civil war is last in a sequence of prophetic events foretold by the Elder Scrolls, which also foretell of the return of Alduin, the Nordic Dragon-god of destruction. Alduin is prophesied to consume the world. The player character is the latest "Dovahkiin" (Dragonborn), an individual with the body of a mortal and the soul of a Dragon. Dragonborns are annointed by the gods to help fend off the threat Alduin poses to Skyrim and Tamriel. Among the individuals aiding the player are Delphine and, later on, Esbern (voiced by Max von Sydow), two of the last remaining Blades, along with Master Arngeir, a member of the Greybeards.

Achievements
[spoil]A. Big Bang
- Complete story mode on Easy difficulty 50G
- See Biggest Bang


B. Bigger Bang
- Complete story mode on Normal difficulty 50G
- See Biggest Band


C. Biggest Bang
- Complete story mode on Hard difficulty 50G
- Completing the game on Hard will also give you the Easy and
Normal completion achievements. You may want to get the
combo system and sneaking around down before attempting this
on Hard. The game isn't too hard except when you get
completely surrounded by enemies. In areas where enemeies have
guns. You really need to have your sneaking down because getting
shot once or twice will drastically decrease your health. The
enemies also have master marksman ability. So they will pretty
much hit you from any distance. When surrounded by enemies, take
advanctage of the dodge move which is double tapping A and holding
the control stick in a direction. For every stealth type room,
there is always a strategy for getting through. Boss battles may
also take a few attempts before learning the best strategies for
not getting hit.


D. Party Pooper
- Time to break up this party 10G
- You will not be able to get this until right before going to the
final boss in the game. Take out the enemies standing outside
and in the room right before the boss fight. They are all wearing
party hats and won't attack you until you first attack them.


E. Freeflow Combo 5
- Complete a combo of 5 moves (any play mode) 5G
- See Freeflow 40


F. Freeflow Combo 10
- Complete a combo of 10 moves (any play mode) 5G
- See Freeflow 40


G. Freeflow Combo 20
- Complete a combo of 20 moves (any play mode) 10G
- See Freeflow 40


H. Freeflow Combo 40
- Complete a combo of 40 moves (any play mode) 10G
- A continued combo is easy to keep until the numbers start getting
higher. You will need quite a few enemies around you to get this.
The more open the area the better. That way you won't be confined
and risk getting hit. This is easier to get on Normal or Easy
because when enemies are about to attack, you will see a blue flash
over their head so you know about when to counter. You do not
need to do this in story mode. You can get this in challenge mode
as well. This is also easier to get once you have the Critical
Attack Plus upgrade. This will give you 2 points on your combos
when you pull off perfect timied strikes. If you are far from
enemies and are in fear of losing your combo, you can also throw
your batarang by double tapping the Left Trigger really fast.
Another tip is while fighting of a titan with a bunch of enemies
around. Work down the titan until you can get on his back and
then swing the titans fists at the enemies. You can get pretty
high combos while doing this. This will take a bit of patience
and practice.


I. Night Glider
- Glide continuously for over 100m 5G
- For this one, you will have to climb up as high as you can on top
of Arkham Mansion and then run and jump and hold A to glide and
go towards the door leading to Arkham North.


J. Rope-A-Dope-A-Dope
- String up one henchman and drop him to surprise a second
(any play mode) 10G
- Before you can get this, you will have to get the Inverted Takedown
upgrade. You will have to be in an area where stealth is needed.
You can also do this on a predator challenge. Stand on a gargoyle
until an enemy walks underneath you. Press Y to swoop down and
grab them up. Make sure no other enemies are near or they will spot
you. After hanging the enemy upside down, swing to another gargoyle.
When the other enemies come to take a look and the guy hanging upside
down. Throw a batarang and the rope holding the enemy.


K. Mano-A-Mano
- Take on a beast in hand to hand combat 10G
- You won't be able to get this until you face the titans enemies
You cannot use your batarang on them or you will not get
this achievement. The first chance to get it is during the double
Titan fight. Let the titans run into each other and try your
best to avoid them. Titans have 3 quarter bars of energy. Once one
get completely depleted, run and start attacking them with the X button
and you will jump on their back and start swinging them around
kinda aimlessly. Just keep swinging them at the other titan. Once one
titan is completely killed, this achievement is yours.

If you miss this in story mode, you can get it on the Freeflow combat
extreme challenges. Some have you face titans in them.


L. Catch!
- Catch a Batarang (any play mode) 5G
- You cannot get this until you have the Remote Control Batarang Upgrade.
Stand out in a wide open area and just throw the remote controlled
batarang and then just make its way back to you. May take a minute to
get the Batarangs controls down.


M. Freeflow Perfection
- Perform a perfect combo including all of Batman's combat
moves (any play mode) 10G
- This can be quite annoying. Batman has a good list of moves and you
must do them all in one combo. Here is the list of all moves you must
do. Remember, you must have all move upgrades to do this. Pick
the challenge Sewer Bat (Extreme) and try this on the first round.
If you mess up or get hit, simply just retry challenge. Here is the
list of all the moves that must be done.

Strike - X
Counter - Y
Stun _ B
Dodge - Double tap A
Quick Batarang - Double tap Left Trigger
Quick Bat Claw - Double Tap Right Trigger
Throw - X+A After a 5 hit combo
Standing Takedown - Y+B After another 5 hit combo
Ground Takedown - RIght Trigger + Y

- For the Throw and Standing takedown, you will need to first get one 5
hit combo going to do one of the attacks and then get another 5 hit combo
going, meaning you counter will have to be 10 or above to do another
attack like that. The ground takedown will want to be the last move you
perform.


N. Freakshow Rodeo
- Ride a beast and unleash its power 10G
- You cannot get this until you are facing the Titan and enemy ambush
in the elevators. You will have to deplete one of the titan's three
bars of energy. After this, run up and strike the Titan and you will
jump on his back, now just hit 10 enemies while on its back.


O. Freeflow Bronze
- Achieve 8 medals on combat challenges 10G
- see Freeflow Gold


P. Freeflow Silver
- Achieve 16 medals on combat challenges 25G
- see Freeflow Gold


Q. Freeflow Gold

Achievements
[spoil]A. Big Bang
- Complete story mode on Easy difficulty 50G
- See Biggest Bang


B. Bigger Bang
- Complete story mode on Normal difficulty 50G
- See Biggest Band


C. Biggest Bang
- Complete story mode on Hard difficulty 50G
- Completing the game on Hard will also give you the Easy and
Normal completion achievements. You may want to get the
combo system and sneaking around down before attempting this
on Hard. The game isn't too hard except when you get
completely surrounded by enemies. In areas where enemeies have
guns. You really need to have your sneaking down because getting
shot once or twice will drastically decrease your health. The
enemies also have master marksman ability. So they will pretty
much hit you from any distance. When surrounded by enemies, take
advanctage of the dodge move which is double tapping A and holding
the control stick in a direction. For every stealth type room,
there is always a strategy for getting through. Boss battles may
also take a few attempts before learning the best strategies for
not getting hit.


D. Party Pooper
- Time to break up this party 10G
- You will not be able to get this until right before going to the
final boss in the game. Take out the enemies standing outside
and in the room right before the boss fight. They are all wearing
party hats and won't attack you until you first attack them.


E. Freeflow Combo 5
- Complete a combo of 5 moves (any play mode) 5G
- See Freeflow 40


F. Freeflow Combo 10
- Complete a combo of 10 moves (any play mode) 5G
- See Freeflow 40


G. Freeflow Combo 20
- Complete a combo of 20 moves (any play mode) 10G
- See Freeflow 40


H. Freeflow Combo 40
- Complete a combo of 40 moves (any play mode) 10G
- A continued combo is easy to keep until the numbers start getting
higher. You will need quite a few enemies around you to get this.
The more open the area the better. That way you won't be confined
and risk getting hit. This is easier to get on Normal or Easy
because when enemies are about to attack, you will see a blue flash
over their head so you know about when to counter. You do not
need to do this in story mode. You can get this in challenge mode
as well. This is also easier to get once you have the Critical
Attack Plus upgrade. This will give you 2 points on your combos
when you pull off perfect timied strikes. If you are far from
enemies and are in fear of losing your combo, you can also throw
your batarang by double tapping the Left Trigger really fast.
Another tip is while fighting of a titan with a bunch of enemies
around. Work down the titan until you can get on his back and
then swing the titans fists at the enemies. You can get pretty
high combos while doing this. This will take a bit of patience
and practice.


I. Night Glider
- Glide continuously for over 100m 5G
- For this one, you will have to climb up as high as you can on top
of Arkham Mansion and then run and jump and hold A to glide and
go towards the door leading to Arkham North.


J. Rope-A-Dope-A-Dope
- String up one henchman and drop him to surprise a second
(any play mode) 10G
- Before you can get this, you will have to get the Inverted Takedown
upgrade. You will have to be in an area where stealth is needed.
You can also do this on a predator challenge. Stand on a gargoyle
until an enemy walks underneath you. Press Y to swoop down and
grab them up. Make sure no other enemies are near or they will spot
you. After hanging the enemy upside down, swing to another gargoyle.
When the other enemies come to take a look and the guy hanging upside
down. Throw a batarang and the rope holding the enemy.


K. Mano-A-Mano
- Take on a beast in hand to hand combat 10G
- You won't be able to get this until you face the titans enemies
You cannot use your batarang on them or you will not get
this achievement. The first chance to get it is during the double
Titan fight. Let the titans run into each other and try your
best to avoid them. Titans have 3 quarter bars of energy. Once one
get completely depleted, run and start attacking them with the X button
and you will jump on their back and start swinging them around
kinda aimlessly. Just keep swinging them at the other titan. Once one
titan is completely killed, this achievement is yours.

If you miss this in story mode, you can get it on the Freeflow combat
extreme challenges. Some have you face titans in them.


L. Catch!
- Catch a Batarang (any play mode) 5G
- You cannot get this until you have the Remote Control Batarang Upgrade.
Stand out in a wide open area and just throw the remote controlled
batarang and then just make its way back to you. May take a minute to
get the Batarangs controls down.


M. Freeflow Perfection
- Perform a perfect combo including all of Batman's combat
moves (any play mode) 10G
- This can be quite annoying. Batman has a good list of moves and you
must do them all in one combo. Here is the list of all moves you must
do. Remember, you must have all move upgrades to do this. Pick
the challenge Sewer Bat (Extreme) and try this on the first round.
If you mess up or get hit, simply just retry challenge. Here is the
list of all the moves that must be done.

Strike - X
Counter - Y
Stun _ B
Dodge - Double tap A
Quick Batarang - Double tap Left Trigger
Quick Bat Claw - Double Tap Right Trigger
Throw - X+A After a 5 hit combo
Standing Takedown - Y+B After another 5 hit combo
Ground Takedown - RIght Trigger + Y

- For the Throw and Standing takedown, you will need to first get one 5
hit combo going to do one of the attacks and then get another 5 hit combo
going, meaning you counter will have to be 10 or above to do another
attack like that. The ground takedown will want to be the last move you
perform.


N. Freakshow Rodeo
- Ride a beast and unleash its power 10G
- You cannot get this until you are facing the Titan and enemy ambush
in the elevators. You will have to deplete one of the titan's three
bars of energy. After this, run up and strike the Titan and you will
jump on his back, now just hit 10 enemies while on its back.


O. Freeflow Bronze
- Achieve 8 medals on combat challenges 10G
- see Freeflow Gold


P. Freeflow Silver
- Achieve 16 medals on combat challenges 25G
- see Freeflow Gold


Q. Freeflow Gold

- To unlock all the Freeflow Challenges, you must first find a majority
of the Riddler's Riddles in the Story mode. There are a total of 8

WWE: All Stars



[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]



Release date: March 29,2011
Developer: THQ San diego
Publisher: THQ
Platforms: PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3ds, and Wii
Genre: Wrestling




Synopsis

WWE All-Stars is a professional wrestling video game published by THQ and developed by THQ.The game features current and former WWE wrestlers competing in fast-paced wrestling matches.




Graphics

It will take a couple of games to get used to these unusual controls. For example in all past games it has always been "Y" to hit your finisher, but in this game it is both LB and RB. So the controls will take some time to get used to.




Story

The game does not have a main storyline or a road to wrestlemania mode like all the past games. The main story of the game is to make "dream" matches. Such as a legend vs a superstar. All stars also features a new mode where you can choose to face Randy Orton, DX, or Undertaker.




Gameplay

If you have bought any of the SvR games and you noticed every year is the same thing and you didn't buy this game for this reason, you are wrong. This game does not have the same boring features as a SvR game. Something that they bought back in this game that I think is really good is the health bar. You can see how much health you wrestler has and how close you are to getting your finisher move. Another great thing about this game is your finisher. When you get your finisher you have the option to store it or use it right away. If you use it your character will glow in gold. The animation for a finisher is really cool. If any of you are familiar with Hulk Hogan's leg drop, I will give you an example. Instead of doing a regular leg drop, Hogan would jump 50 feet in the air to deliver the leg drop. Another thing that is in this game is mini story modes. There are 3 in total. There is a Dx, Randy orton, and Undertaker story mode. Each one has it's own story. When in story mode you can pick any wrestle to go against to ones I listed above. You will have to win 10 matches before facing your main opponent.



Controls

As far as controls in this game, they are very different from the SvR series and past wrestling games. I have to say that at first the controls are very difficult to play with. It will take a couple of games to get used to these unusual controls. For example in all past games it has always been "Y" to hit your finisher, but in this game it is both LB and RB. So the controls will take some time to get used to.



Rating: 8.5/10

As I said before this game is not another boring SvR game, but a really fun wrestling game. Many different and great features compared to the past wrestling games. For every hardcore WWE fan this is a must buy. Everyone that has played the old games will really enjoy this game even more.

Graphics
For a 2010 game these graphics would be amazing but now that we are in 2012, Standards have changed and same with the thoughts of people i would give the graphics a 4/10.



Controls:
The controls are basic, If you have ever player a MLB the show game without the swing stick these controls are exactly the same which gives the user prior knowledge of all the controls and how simple they are



Fun facts:
This game relaxes you and brings out the best in many people, I enjoyed my time playing this game until I've beaten this game, Once you beat the game it's boring. but still lets you just sit back and have fun while trying to earn your way up to play the bullies of the neighorhood
