Six Guns

Some of the best downloadable games I play come from a little company Gameloft. I first got into their games when I played a Marvel game called Spider-Man: Total Mayhem. There are a bunch of other interesting games too, but today we are gonna talk about a TPS (Third Person Shooter) called Six Guns.

Looks like fun!

Six Guns starts off with a cutscene no one cares about and no one has a screenshot of it. Neither do I. Soon you have to rescue a damsel in distress by punching out her captives. Then she becomes your instructor for the first part of the game. Even if in the cutscene it says you lost your horse, you apparently have a horse you can turbo dismount of!

But later in the main quests, someone gives you a horse to complete your quests. Even though you already have one. Six Guns is a pretty unique game, it's just that it has a supposed, "aim assist." Whenever you draw your gun, it auto-aims at the closest target to the reticle. It isn't even clear as to how to get on with much of the story. All I know is what's his face cowboy is framed for killing his wife, fugitive, something else, blah blah blah. It's fun to explore at your own pace though. You can go through trench's, kill riders and steal their horses, and travel through the United States of America. There's even a town that has racing, fun side quests, shops, and a saloon where you can kill everybody in sight.

This town also has a little bandit problem, and by bandit problem I mean swarming gangsters who attack for no reason, they don't even steal anything. I fought with them a few times before getting back on the main quest. Turns they're a part of the storyline, even though they may or may not be important. I dunno. Haven't beaten the game yet.

Money and saddle slots. You need a lot of em. In order to buy more tonics, get more ammo, and complete fetch quests, you need lots and lots of money and slots. To get more slots, you need more money. To get more money, you need to complete more fetch quests. To complete more fetch quests, you need more saddle slots. IT NEVER ENDS!!!! :-(

When I first played this game, I thought it was pretty realistic. Until...

MONSTERS! They're in the game! There are ghouls, freaky floating ladies, and werewolves! Don't punch them.

They're pretty interesting and unique. Just when you think your in a regular place, BOO! AHHH! Monster's are there! I keep hearing about some sort of Defiler weapon that curse your enemies and a

Werewolf Slayer for instances like the one above. I can't afford them though.

Another fun thing to do is take a chance at the lottery. You can play for free once a day and the rest of the chances cost stars. A list of prizes are shone, they flip around, change position in a way you can't keep up with, and then ya shoot a panel.

Shooting people, exploring, and riding horses is really fun. It does get boring after awhile though.

Still, what you can do and going at your own pace has always been fun to me. If anything I recommend this game to people who want an interesting TPS for their HP computer. The storyline however, is hard to understand, especially since players would want to go at their own pace.

I give this game 3 & 1/2 stars out of 5.

It's fun, but I think I'll play my other game Reaper for awhile.

Huh, Reaper. It's pretty fun. I should make a post about it sometime. Hint hint.

 

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

In 2001, Nintendo wanted to take advantage of the N64's real-time clock. The result was a community stimulation game released in Japan on April 14. Animal Forest, as it was called, was later released on the GameCube and it was called Animal Forest+. The game was then in other countries in 2002-2004 and called Animal Crossing in Europe and America. The series was both praised for it's use of clock and calendar as well as hidden NES games included but it was also criticized for it's audio visuals.  The Wild World game even had an anime film adaption in Japan only called  
Dōbutsu no Mor or Animal Forest: Theater Version. The series was on the GameCube, DS, and Wii. In 2013, the series expanded onto the 3DS with Animal Crossing: New Leaf. As with every new game, a new mechanic should be added. The new mechanic in this game is the mayor mechanic. The game begins with a child moving into a town. On the way, Rover asks some questions that determine your gender and the name of the town. If your boy then say "Cool right" after telling Rover your name. If your a girl then say "Cute right" after telling Rover your name. Cool right!? After the train ride, the villagers mistaken you for the mayor and your new secretary Isabelle takes you to your new office and explains the functions. She also says you need to get a house and get a 100% citizen approval rating before enabling ordinances or starting public work projects. The game has a great feel of officialty whereas you the mayor. I also like the variety of characters with their own personalities. Example: There's a penguin from the other games called Roald and he loves fitness.


 Sometimes they say some funny or quirky lines and they also like to ask you to do some favors. Sounds dreadful? It's actually quite fun considering that you can get rewards and it will boost your friendships. If you and a villager's friendship get's really high, you get a portrait of them. The famous characters are still around but there a little different. Tom Nook is now a real-estate raccoon who lended his old store to his nephews Timmy and Tommy Nook. Mr. Resseti comes the first time you forget to save and says if you want to be chastised by him for not saving, you can re-open the reset center. K.K. Slider is doing well too.

He's now a D.J. who puts songs on any audio source and can appear in your town if you add the live venue to it. Dr. Shrunk will also appear and teach you emotions if you pay with food. So the characters are interesting and funny. *Warning- If you ignore them for too long they'll move away.

 I also like how anything can get started with public work projects. The problem is, you pay for it yourself so that can be a bit frustrating. If you cancel to try and get your bells back, then Isabelle will say bells won't be returned. You can also enable ordinances which are new ways of life to help your town take on an all new approach.Ordinances can be activated for 20,000 bells, cancelled for 0 bells, and changed for 20,000 bells.
The island is also a fun feature. After a few days, the old mayor Tortimer will come and tell you about an island that can be accessed from the pier. You also get taken out on a boat by, guess who.
KAPP'N! Good old Kapp'n will take you to and from the island while singing some tunes. The island feature is pretty great and you can do lots of things like go on a tour or play on the beach. They also have beautiful furniture at the building. I give it a thumbs up.
Another fun feature of the game, SHOPPING!!! The old 3 stores are back and 4 new shops have been included. Whether you want your hair fixed, or if you want clothes, or if you want to redecorate your house, the choice is yours and it's all on the other side of the train tracks. The RE-tail shop is a useful and commutative idea added to the game. You can sell items up front or put something up at the flea-market space. Don't forget to fix up your furniture when the blue sheep is awake. Another idea I like is the hidden NES games. Sometimes fortune cookies can get you Nintendo furniture or special clothes like
a Mario hat.
 

Once you get the Dream Suite project paid in full, you can see other peoples town's by connecting to the internet and going to sleep on the bed. You can interact with the town's villagers in your dream, but all shops are closed in the dream. You can have fun and get a good idea of what to make your town look like.

So overall, I feel this is one of Nintendo’s greatest accomplishes ever. It's got fun, good gameplay and some interesting characters. This could be considered a huge step up for the Animal Crossing franchise and a great use of the 3DS' many systems. My town is a real work in progress to be honest, but it doesn't always have to be big or civilized to be fun. I'm impressed.
