Minecraft VS. Sims 3

CLICK HERE FOR FULL FREE FRAPS

Today, I will compare 2 awsome games which are Minecraft and The Sims 3 based on their graphics and mainly on gameplay

First is Graphics(just an FYI if you don't know how Minecraft or Sims 3 look like):

Minecraft:




THE SIMS 3:




Comparison:
Well...... I guess its already obvious that Sims' 3 graphics(textures) is better than Minecraft's. But I would like to say that for me, minecraft may have the best lighting in for a 3d 4 bit game(you may disagree with me) becuase it has different layers or light(example below). I'm not saying minecraft's lighting is better than sims3's but that what is one of the speciality of Minecraft that give it's wow factor. Same with minecraft, Sims 3 also has good lighting, you need to put a lot of windows or artificial lights in a house so it will be lighted up good depending on the time(day or night)

Hopefully now you know how lighting can be a very important role in the graphics of a game


Now Lets talk about their gameplay:

Minecraft:
One of the reasons why Minecraft is such an awsome game is because of it's simplicity. If you still don't know what minecraft is, it is a sandbox where you can break literally anything to get materials. And you can use these materials for building structures or for making equipment(like swords and pickaxes). When you first start Minecraft, you will spawn to a random deserted(no other humans) area with nothing in your inventory. Your objective is to simply survive. To survive, you will need materials like getting from trees and stones from...stones ;). When you acquire materials like wood, stones and sand blocks, you can stack them like lego blocks so you could make your own house. Another way to survive is to combine materials so you could make equipment. For example, you need coal and sticks to make torches but you need wood to make sticks and you need to dig so you can get coal.If you want to make leather armor, you need to combine leather from cows. If you are a pussy like me, minecraft can sometimes be a scary game because once night approaches, that is when all the monsters come out and that is why you need a house or at least an underground shelter and A LOT of torches so you can avoid them. You can also find these monsters in dark underground areas. But if you don't monsters in your minecraft world, you could always change the difficulties to peaceful so you can building without the fear of monsters killing you from behind..

BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2 VS. CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS

Spoiler Alert Damn It!
Guys just saying, this is my very first time making a review so don't be to harsh on me and I will take any suggestions into account!

The fight between Battlefield bad company and Call of duty Black Ops rages on. In this review
I will the compare them according to their Graphics, Gameplay, and Multiplayer. Let's start:

First of all, graphics are very important in a game so more people would be attracted to it.
Here are some previews:

Battlefield bad company 2:















Call of Duty Black OPS:















Well this is my opinion: Both of the game's graphics are very impresive but battlefield has better special effects when it comes to explosives and they also have the best sound effects in a first person shooter games .
*Battlefield wins this round


Gameplay(Singleplayer) : Lets talk about the story of each game

Battlefield Bad company 2: Here's a basic summary, there are 4 soldiers fighting somewhere in Alaska(I think) and they have to capture some Russian guy. They were unable to catch him so they had to travel to different places to find him and they also discover the plans of the Russian guy. He wants to find a "super weapon" thing that was made during World war 2. As usual, the Russian discovers it, used it on a city and now is threatening America. In the end, 4 soldiers single handedly killed a fraction of the Russian army. They also able to stop(kill) the Russian guy we were talking about and stopped his plans from destroying America.

Now, let's actually talk about the gameplay:
Depending on the difficulty of the game: it takes around 7-8 hours to complete all 13 missions.
General controls of Bad company 2(fire, move) isn't really different with Call of duty(except for knifing and grenade and crouch).

Call of Duty Black Ops: Ok, since I am to lazy to summarize the story just look it up on Google =)

Comparison: In this round, Black Ops wins because the story is really mind bottling. When I first played Black Ops, I thought the story was crap because I thought it was just another story about killing a guy or the leader. But as I continued to play , I realized that everything in the story had a reason. For example, the main character was mind controlled to kill the president of America but when he finally had a chance to kill him, he didn't because another guy mind controlled him to kill the leader of the bad guys.
But, if it comes to more explosion and destruction , Bad company wins


Finally MULTIPLAYER:
Just by watching online multiplayer gameplays of both games, it is already obvious that Battlefield wins this round. In battlefield, there are 4 classes to choose from: Assault, Engineer, Medic and Scout. As as assault, you should be in the front lines making way for vehicles and other players to finish the mission. As an engineer, so should make sure that you repair vehicles of your team and destroy to vehicles of your enemies.As a medic, you should stay close to players on the front lines so whenever they get killed, you SHOULD revive them so you won't lose reinforcement tickets. As a scout, simply kill enemies from a far using your sniper rifle. You can even destroy almost anything(like buildings, walls) in this game and it is also almost impossible to camp here(this is why fags who are used to camping in call of duty hate the multiplayer of battlefield).You can also actually ride awsome vehicles like tanks, humvees and even helicopters. The key to winning a game here IS TO WORK AS A DAMN TEAM!!
On the other hand, in call of duty multiplayer, the only thing you should do is go around around the map, camp and kill people..........
Obviously Battle Bad company 2 wins this mutha round [] )

In total: COD gets 1 point
Battle Field gets 2 points (winner)

Thank you guys very much for reading my review and hopefully you could come back every week( I would post reviews every week)
Next..........: Minecraft vs. Sims 3 =) (Remember graphics aren't the most important element of a game)
