This magazine is about all sorts of games and its all about reading about history of games and fun facts.
There are many types of video games out there. Lets start with some basic ones like Halo 4,Minecraft, Call of Duty Black ops 2, Call of Duty, MW3, Madden 25 and lots more. Lets tell youabout what some of the games are about. First Halo 4: Halo 4 is about this guy who is a soldierin the future and there ship was attacked by the covenant. He wakes up from a deep sleep andthe ship is going to crash into a planet filled with the covenant.
You have to fight through them and complete missions and go to checkpoints throughoutthe way. You have a hologram person named cortana and she tells you which way to go. Butfurther in the game she starts to break down and corrupt. Second Minecraft: Minecraft is a gamemade out of blocks. And you are a person named Steve. You have to make shelter and weaponsand fight mobs. There is day and night. At night monsters come out and if they see you they willtry to kill you and make you lose all your stuff. The types of mobs are zombies, skeletons,spiders, creepers, and endermen.
The types of animals are cows, pigs, sheep, and wolves. There are NPC’s which are nonplayable characters. They live in villages spread across the world. Third Call of Duty Black ops 2:Its a game where you play as a navy seal and kill enemies and save hostages. There are threedifferent ways to play one is campaign the second is multiplayer and third is zombies. Campaignis where you do missions and kill enemy forces.
You can shoot down enemy helicopters with missile launchers and can send bombstrikes and more. Multiplayer is where you can fight each other or you can have enemy bots andkill them. You can set a score and time limit. You have to play the campaign first to playmultiplayer. Third is zombies. zombies is where you are in a map and zombies try to kill you.
you get points when you kill zombies. You can buy better weapons to fight off the zombies .There are rounds and every round gets harder as you go on. You can pack a punch yourweapons which make them stronger and faster. there is a mystery box somewhere around themap. The mystery box gives you random weapons. But when you are waiting for the weaponzombies still can kill you. You can play with your friends and see how long you can survive.
In Halo Reach the time of
this was before the first
Halo but was one of the
late games made. But
basically in this game you
are a new Spartan and is
part of Noble Team and
your job is to defeat the
covenant and save Reach.
Once the covenant first
invaded Reach ONI
basically declared the
command of the
UNSC(United Nations
Space Command)to order
all the Spartans to go and
fight and try to save Reach
but since the Covenant had
more forces they overran
the Spartans and defeated
them one by one. All
Spartans were eliminated
except for Spartan 117
John A.K.A Master Chief.
They shipped Master Chief
on the Pillar of Autumn
before the covenant can
stop them. Every Spartan
fought till they were at
their end of their energy
they never gave up and
they never ever thought
they were going to lose.
They tried as hard as they
can for as long as they can.
In the first mission of Halo
Reach the UNSC sent
Noble Team to investigate
a death. That is when they
figured out that the
Covenant was on Reach.
That is why they called for
all the Spartans so they
wont lose reach. Noble
team had six memebers.
Noble one was Carter the
Leader. Noble two was Kat
the second in command.
Noble three was Jun the
Sharpshooter. Noble four
was Emile the Close
Quarters Combat
Specialist. Noble five was
Jorge the Heavy Weapons
Specialist. And you were
Noble Six the Rookie. In
Reach you go on missions
you didn’t see in Halo,
Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3
ODST. Halo Reach was
the last Halo Bungie made.
Bungie left the production
and the rights to 343
Industries which made
Halo 4. In this campaign
you end up flying ships
fighting in space driving
warthogs and encountering
the worst covenant vehicle
of all you will not be
happy to see it and it may
also be the death of a
Noble Team member. ONI
is in trouble you go to their
swordbase about 3 times in
the campaign and you see
Dr. Halsey and rescue her.
You may have to carry an
A.I. and deliver it to the
Pillar of Autumn and keep
it safe or it can be the
death of the UNSC.
Spartans were invented
and invested by Dr.
Halsey. She started to
make Spartans to first fight
the inzurrectionists not to
fight the covenant but
when the covenant came
they prevailed and maybe
they can save Reach. Halo
Reach has a stunning
campaign that all Halo fans
will enjoy and can be a
huge success for 343 and
Bungie and hopefully give
them ideas for Halo 4 and
keep some stuff or get rid
of them but lets hope they
continue Halo.

For the first time in 5 years video games have
been very huge since 2008. They made super
high quality games over the past year such as
Skyrim and Old Republic exc...
This year lots of companies have made over
billions and billions of dollars off these games
that have come out in 2013-2014.
Assassins Creed 4 had 12.5 million in the first
6 months. Many of the new 2014 video
games have made over 30 million dollars just
in the U.S.
Some of the top ten best-selling games of
this 2013-2014 are The Legend of Zelda: A
Link between Worlds, Saints Row IV, Forza
Motorsport 5 and so much more. All of
these games had had over 12 million copies
sold.
Star wars has been around for so long and
they have made crazy RPG games such as the
old republic and the new game that came out
got 25 million in the first 3 months.
They haven’t fully announced exactly when it
will be released but they are planning it
sometime in 2014 spring. Also a crazy
futuristic war game called Titan fall is also
coming in spring 2014. Many people are
getting pumped for both games but don’t
forget about Mass effect 4 that will also be
coming out soon.
Some games that have been around for solong and have been very famous over theyears are Runescape (over 2.3 Billion) Star
Wars Old Republic over (4.5 million) and
so much more.
Video games have been around for so long.
It’s crazy how far technology has gone from
pixel Mario to Star wars old republic. It has
taken us to a whole new generation of video
games.
Like all of the Elder Scrolls games. How each
game gets better graphics and better fighting
how big Skyrim is compare to Oblivion. Plus
they added dragons. The world as we know it
is getting better technology better devices.
Its really amazing what video games look like
now then what it looked like 30 years ago. Its
also cool of how precise and realistic some of
these games are.
Assassins Creed 2 climbing to Black Flags
climbing. The graphics have gotten way better
and the fighting changed a lot in each game.
Its amazing I wonder where video game
technology will take us in the future thanks
for reading keep your game on.
How my little brother got thrown out of a window.By a French toaster
So, this is how it all started. I was sitting in myroom looking through a gaming magazine inone morning and I saw an ad for the newMario game that I had been dying to get, butinstead of the normal price of the game,which was 49.99, the price was only 25dollars, but only for one day only. I was sopumped! I went around my room lookingaround for any spare coins or bills, and when Iwas finally done scavenging, I had 26 dollarsand 37 cents, just enough to buy my game. Iheaded down stairs to find my mom when Inoticed my brother was screwing around withmy brand new Nintendo 64.
“Don’t break my N64!” I yelled at my brotherover my shoulder as I ran into the kitchen.
“MOM!” I yelled “the new Mario gameis only 25 dollars, but only for one day, can wego can we go can we go can we go can wego?” and after my mom calmed me down shesaid that we could go. When we got to thestrip mall the local game sore was in, I ranthrough crowd of people with my mom tryingto keep up. I barged through the doors andthere was a LONG line. I waited for 30minutes to get to the front of the line. Andwhen I finally got there, our conversation wenta little like this.
“GIMIE DA NEW MARIO GAME!”
“Umm what did you say sir?”
“I WANT THE NEW MARIO GAME!”
“Umm, ok… that will be 20 dollars.
After my mom calmed me down enough so Icould take my wallet out of my pocket, I paidthe cashier and ran into the hall. My momasked me if I wanted something to eat fromthe food court, but I just wanted to get home.We pulled into my drive way and I ran into myhouse and bolted into my living room, andwhat I found shocked me. My brother wasstanding over my N46 with a massive hole init holding a broken controller. After I saw thatwhat followed was a terrifying scene of mechasing my brother around my house 5 timesand finally cornered him in my room. And I willsay I lost my temper (and potentially mysanity) but, that’s how my brother got thrownout of a window
