I for one can get easily distracted and repulsed by tedious game play so to my surprise I can say I’ve completed Far Cry 3. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not taking a dig I was so surprised by this game I really can’t follow up with any truer or honest opinion other to go get this game it’s well worth a play.

I played Far Cry 2 for a short while back in its day and after 3 or 4 hours I felt that the game play was just recurring itself and it just died for me (WARNING< it’s an opinion). This however is totally different, first of all the game itself in appearance is bright and vibrant, it’s just a joy and pleasure to be in and around the foliage, jungle, sea etc. The graphics are great, there are moments when the lighting engine give you some mouth watering rays through the trees or even climbing up the radio towers, it’s just really, really well made.

I’m trying to be as vaig as possible not to give any hints or spoilers out but the storyline is very well constructed, the characters have a real presents and sense of dept, you can’t really predict them which is just a nice spectrum of different personalities performed by great actors.

One small and innocent little haggle which is very annoying, you can’t host your own multiplayer games. Especially when the servers are glitchy, it often causes my Pc to blue screen which isn’t great. Other than that slight disappointment this game is:

9.5/10

A near perfect game in my honest opinion.

Following the purchase of Microsoft train simulator back in 2002 I have always gone out looking for other simulators (especially train simulators) so I can confidently say that I KNOW Trainz, from Trainz, Trainz 2004, Trainz 2006 and Trainz Classic UK.

What is this game? = answer its bad, it’s a simple money sock soaking up the cash from every innocent customer. I mean really guys this is just bad... don’t even debate.

Where do I even start?

Firstly and this is my biggest point that drives me up the wall. This is NOT a new/newer game. By the use of clever branding and publishing your led to believe that this. OH WOW, IT’S A NEW TRAINZ!!! ... Well don’t get too excite sat at ye-oldie computer because it’s not.
If you simply go into your “Rail yard” (which lists each loco/rolling stock for you to observe) you can see that 90% of the content, YET AGAIN has just been copied and pasted from the previous versions. I mean Big Boy ??. for crying out loud that was made for Trainz 2004 it looks a pile of A*** for one of the latest’s lines of train simulators. Its laziness, pure and simple..
However that being said, they have made some, and I mean some, new locos and stock that actually looks ok.

The sounds are awful, again like the locos, sounds have been taken from the Trainz backlog of games. This game screams nothing but laziness, essentially what you looking at is trainz 2004 with mix and matches on certain locos and routes in truth.

In terms of simulation there isn’t any, well no more than some buttons that make you go forward and backwards, ok there is the complicated control system but its miles from simulated, it feels like someone who has a basic grasp of what things do and has just botched it together how he thinks is best. So it’s not a great start is it?
The menu and in game overlay/system is far far far complex than it needs to be, like seriously what was wrong with a button that just opened up individual trains to place, here you have got to go create a consist somewhere and then once that’s saved you can load it up in game, it is just stupid.

Want to know something that amazed me? I find it amazing how a Post PS2 era game with the same level of graphical detail can run THIS badly!!, ¬ seriously. I can run Train Simulator 2015 on full graphics reaching about 20fps in lag spikes and running normally at about 35-40fps
this game however runs like a slug, RUBBISH, I get 9fps at best, I turn down the graphics so it looks EVEN worse for very little improvement.

The only thing worth crediting on this game is the first appearance of Train Simulation in Multiplayer...ok it’s a short lived compliment because you can only drive from one map unless you come off the game and fiddle around with the content manager thing to get more, the trains are already placed even if you’re a server host and this far complicated menu system just makes the whole experience even more un-enjoyable. However when you finally do get set up it can be some full playing with friends. But again short lived, because every time a player joins the game will send you miles and mile away from your own train for no apparent reason and it’s a fiddle to find “where you once where”

I got this cheap but even cheap feels expensive, I would pay at best £5 for this ....
Out of curiosity I bought a bundle of 16 Trainz DLC the other day for £2.99 to try out.... and there amazingly rubbish. Just avoid at all cost is my advice. In fact go play train simulator its better ;)

It’s hard to explain the logistics of Garry’s mod. I guess the best way to sum up is to say, if you take all the objects from half life 2 and place them in an open world engine, throw in a few tools to glue them together or manipulate their properties to how you like. Then HULARITY will ensue. Gmod is highly addictive, fun and sociable in the realms of multiplayer.

Gmod is often tiresome in single player once the years scroll by. But it’s the perfect ♥♥♥♥ Around Weeknight entertainment that you and your mates will treasure on for decades to come!

you like trains ?, you like simulation ?, then a train simulator is the best thing for you!. Steam, diesel, eletric. Uk, germany, america ETC ETC you name it ¬ Train simulators 2013's got it!.

stunning grapics with a highy transforming TSX engine to place you in the moment of driving, anywhere and at anytime.
