Happy New Year

Happy New Year! It's Patoriku here!
Did you guys have a good year? I did. I started to make blog this month and I've had a great time doing these posts. It's been great to see that almost 400 people have visited this blog this month. Knowing that makes me so happy. Also I have been thinking of making gaming videos, but now I focus on doing this blog.
I really hope you guys have an awesome year coming! Again, Happy New Year!


Zombie Apocalypse, part 2

Hello, Patoriku here! This is the second part of Zombie Apocalypse post, so if you still haven't read the first part, go and read it!
I'm going to write about Call of Duty:Black Ops 2, Zombie mode. I usually play only the Town, because I suck in the Tranzit and the Farm.
The Juggernog is the most important perk! My goal is always to get the Juggernog first! After that I go for the Quick Revive, Stamina and then Speed Cola. I like to be the medic of my team so I usually take Stamina and Quick Revive.
The weapons that I like are Galil, Ray Gun and Monkeys.
I have noticed that some people do this: they somehow get all the perks! I copied this one guy and figured it out. You have to get the Tombstone perk and three other perks (doesn't matter which). After you have died you go to get other perks you still don't have! When you have them you just go get your tombstone and there you go, all eight perks! I'm not sure if this still works, but it's worth to try, eh?

Perks I usually drink

This was the last post of this year. I hope you guys enjoyed reading my blog and see you next year!

Zombie Apocalypse, part 1

Hello! It's Patoriku here!
This post is about a game called a Call of Duty: Black Ops. There is a three modes in this game (campaign, multiplayer and zombies), but I'm going to talk about zombies here.
Zombies mode was first introduced in the Call of Duty: World at War, but I haven't played it. So the Black Ops was the first time I played Zombies and I've enjoyed this mode a lot, even though it will get really boring after playing some rounds. My favorite map is the Kino der Toten, so I'll be writing about it from now on.
In the zombies there is a four characters that you can play with: Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo and Richtofen. 
The game is easy. All you have to do is survive the zombie waves. When you have killed all zombies the new wave starts, but now there is a lot more zombies and they can't be killed so easily. Later you will encounter some crawlers and a hellhounds. You just need to buy new weapons and upgrade them. And also remember to buy perks. The perks give you some powers, like Juggernog which enables you to get hit more before you die. The juggernog is most important, but there is also other perks you can drink: A Quick Revive (revives other players faster when playing online), A Speed Cola (faster reload), Mule Kick (possible to carry the third weapon) and a Double Tap (increases the rate of fire).

Map, which shows you where is the mystery box (green light)
In the game you will find the mystery box. It costs 950 points to open it and it gives a random weapon. If you're lucky you can get a ray gun and a thundergun. The thundergun is my favorite as it blows enemies away. The location of the box can be seen on the wooden map after you have put the power on.

Teleport to Pack-a-Punch Machine

Pack-a-Punch Machine
Like I said before, you can upgrade your weapons, in a Pack-a-Punch machine. You will find the Pack-a-Punch machine in a room where you can teleport. Upgrading a weapon costs 5000 points, but it's pretty much necessary to do this at some point if you wanna survive.
In the Kino der Toten there is also a three stones (meteorites) that can be found. After you have found them just press "use" button on them (all three stones) and then you can hear an awesome song by the Elena Siegman. The first stone can be found in the lobby where you start the game. The second and the third can be found in rooms just before the theater (on both sides).

This is the stone which you need to find (Three of them)

The first stone

The second stone

The third stone
I definitely recommend to try this game! It's a fun to play. My own personal record in the Kino der Toten is a round 35 and with knives only round 19.
I'm going to post "part 2" tomorrow and it's about Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, the Town map.
See you later!

Let's Brawl!

I played The Super Smash Bros - Brawl for the first time ever, and I got beaten by a 13-year old girl. I sucked so bad, only winning 1 out of 10 times. And that one win was a pure luck. Go Yoshi!




Me winning with Yoshi

Basically the Super Smash Bros - Brawl is a fighting game.There is a story mode and battle mode. Unfortunately I only played Co-Op (Battle Mode), but it was a enjoyable. There's a lot of characters to choose from and they all had a different abilities. My favorite characters were a Yoshi, Sonic, Mario and Link.

Oldie but a goldie

The Nintendo 8 bit was a part of my childhood. A definitely nostalgic console.

Nintendo 8 bit
The super Mario Bros (1,2,3) are games that the most gamers have a heard about. Me and my older brother used to play these games when we were younger and I always had to be the green Mario (Luigi). "Ah..how I hated my childhood.."...just kidding. These games brings back so good memories, so now when you play these games it doesn't matter which character you are. Back then it sure was important which character you were...
The Mario games were pretty simple. You play as a Mario, whose mission is to rescue Princess Peach from the Bowser. Mario encounters different enemies, like a goomba and a koopa troopa, on his mission to save Princess Peach. The last boss is a Bowser. Mario can get different abilities by consuming items in the game, like a mushrooms. By eating a mushroom Mario grows bigger and can take one more hit from the enemies before dying.
The Super Mario Bros had a great impact on platform game genre, so no wonder that it's also one of the best selling platform games in the history.
The Duck Hunt was a really cool and challenging game. For me at least. I was horrible at shooting, so obviously it didn't go well.


The Super Mario Bros and The Duck Hunt
The Super Mario Bros 2
The Super Mario Bros 3

The North & South was my favorite game ever! It's based on the American Civil War and you can play as the North or the South. The North and the South armies battled against each other. There was a multiplayer option so me and my brother used to play this a lot!

The North & South
Have you ever played Marios, Duck Hunt, North & South or do you have any nostalgic games?

Futuristic War


"Wow...what just happened?!". I'm so mesmerized. If the world could just be like that: exoskeletons, robots, double jumping, etc. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare gives interesting view into the future, just what kind of technology there could be.
In Advanced Warfare, there is three modes: Campaign, Multiplayer and Exo-Survival. In campaign you play as Jack Mitchell, former marine, who joins Atlas Corporation. In multiplayer you can play lots of different modes: Team Deathmatch, Infected, Hardpoint, etc. Exo-Survival is just like a survival mode from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, except this one is harder.


Jack Mitchell

Campaign was pretty obvious. Jack Mithcell loses his best friend, Will Irons, and his left arm. Later, Will's father, Jonathan Irons offers Mitchell a job in the Atlas and replaces his left arm with a robotic one. Mithcell and rest of the Atlas soldiers are ordered to kill Hades, a man who started a nuclear attack. Mithcell manages to kill Hades, but it turns out that Jonathan Irons was actually the main antagonist! Mithcell and a couple of more Atlas soldiers decided to stop Irons and then Irons were killed.
The whole story was pretty predictable, but all the futuristic stuff made it more interesting.

Jonathan Irons

From left to right: Joker, Gideon, Jack Mitchell and Jonathan Irons.

I haven't play multiplayer so much yet, but I liked "Infected". Infected was also in a Modern Warfare 3 and in a Ghost. Multiplayer sure is hard with this double jump, when enemies jumps all over the places. 


Night vision shooting

Exo-Survival is similar with Survival Mode, but way harder. Enemies in Exo gets really tough fast and it's hard to keep up with them. Challenging indeed.

Mission to kill Hades

In the end, Advanced Warfare was a good game. Story mode was a little boring from the start, but it got more interesting. Lots of different missions, like sneaking around and shooting rockets with robots. The whole futuristic theme was a great idea, little different from previous games.
Surely it will take me some time to get better with multiplayer and exo-survival, but playing is fun.

Stealth action!

I just played the newest Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid V - Ground Zeroes. Based on the trailer I would have expected some of the things that would happen. Ground Zeroes is a prequel to the Metal Gear Solid V, The Phantom Pain, which is coming out next year.


 Snake's voice actor had changed from David Hayter to Kiefer Sutherland. It took me some time to get used to it, because I've been playing MGS since the first game. At first I was pretty skeptical, but as I was playing it didn't bother me at all. In the end I thought Sutherland did good job voicing Big Boss, but I'm still going to miss Hayter's voice.



The Game begins when Snake (Big Boss) arrives at Camp Omega where Chico and Paz are being held as hostages. Your mission is to save them. After you have saved them the game pretty much ends there. Snake and his companion flies back to Mother Base which is being under attacked by Cipher. Snake and his army (Militaires Sans Frontieres) escapes leaving their home. The Game ends when Snake's helicopter and another helicopter collides. Basically, Ground Zeroes is really short game. It took me about 75 minutes to clear it. After you have played it once you unlock other missions, like destroying the camp and saving Hideo Kojima! It was great to see that you have other missions too.



Like previous games there are two ways of doing things, either you go sneaking or shooting around (or both if you like). I prefer sneaking, but its not so bad occasionally blowing things up.
Graphics were awesome! I really liked how everything looked like. Especially all characters and their face features.
Even though, the game was short so I didn't regret buying it. All the little missions makes up to it.
As a gamer I really recommend to buy it if you enjoy stealth action.




Can't  wait for the sequel, Metal Gear Solid V, The Phantom Pain, to come out!

Something about me

Greetings, all you gamers! This shall be my first post, as I'm going to tell you something about myself. I'm 23 years old, from Finland. Reason I started to make this blog was I like to play games and I wanted to share my opinions with others. For now I concentrate playing with PS1,PS2,PS3,PSP, Wii and some other nostalgic consoles. I'm even going to talk about board games. I'm still new to this blogging, so it will take some time for me to get used to. My first game post will be about Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes. I'll post that later this day or tomorrow. Here is a picture of me!
