Game Christmas Gift Guide

Happy Christmas Readers,
I unintentionally took a month off, sorry guys. Thank you for showing your ongoing support it honestly means the world to me.

This is the first gift guide of this week and we are going to focus on gaming, the games I am going to mention are the games that I play continuously and have so much love for if you’ve seen my Instagram you’ve had some spoilers.

Nothing in this guide is a paid partnership or gifted. I am using poster images I have found through google I do not own any rights and am using the image purely for review purposes (Fair use under the copyright act sections 29 and 30 under use for a review).

Dungeon Keeper
Dungeon Keeper is a real-time strategy game that turns the entire fantasy genre on its head. The world of Dungeon Keeper is tongue-in-cheek and cartoony, but engrossing, substantial and not cuddly. In most games you are the hero, exploring the dungeon, slaying evil creatures and collecting treasure. This time you get to be the evil Dungeon Keeper, designing your dungeon and stock it with vicious creatures. You are given minimal information about the world other than you're evil, you have a dungeon, you want to take over the world, and Heroes will try to enter your dungeon to kill your lovely, creatures and steal your gold. If your dungeon is well designed, those heroes will end up as hero-meat.

Dungeon Keeper 2
Dungeon Keeper 2 shares the original's half-silly, half-scary visual design, the graphics have undergone an incredible refinement since the first game, lending Dungeon Keeper 2 had some of the best graphics you had ever seen at the time. There are only a few extra rooms you'd have hoped for much more from a sequel but we’ll take what we can get. The casino is neat, if only because a jackpot-winning minion starts dancing and singing when he wins (Disco Inferno!). Rooms have better graphics, though. The hen-houses in the hatchery, the on-wall bookshelves and torture racks, everything shows a subtle touch.

Red Alert 3
Like the previous games in the Red Alert series, the game is set in an alternate reality from World War II, in which the Western Allies fight the Soviet Union. In Red Alert 3 the Soviet leadership, facing defeat, goes back in time to kill Albert Einstein and prevent his assistance to the allies, paving the way for Soviet domination in the present.

However, they never paid attention to the butterfly effect and created, a third world power, the Empire of the Rising Sun, is created and all three sides go to war. The three warring factions are fully playable, with the game play involving constructing a base, gathering resources and training armies to defeat other players. Each of the armies has their own a fully co-operative campaign, playable with either an artificial intelligence partner or with another player online as well as a story mode.

The game combines its strategy missions with full-motion video footage featuring an ensemble cast starring J.K. Simmons, Tim Curry and George Takei as the leaders of the three factions, this has always been one of my favourite thing about the red alert games.

Command and Conquer General: Zero Hour
Generals takes place in a alternate mid-2010s. Players are given a choice of three Armies to play. In Generals, the United States and the People's Republic of China are the world's two superpowers, and are the targets of the Global Liberation Army (GLA), a borderless terrorist organisation. The United States and China are depicted as allies in the series who occasionally co-operate against the GLA, whose goal is to eliminate the military forces of China and the United States.

Like most other real-time strategy games, the player must construct a base, acquire resources, build various combat and support units, and defeat opponents. Various unit types can be constructed, ranging from infantry, vehicles and air units. Each side has its own unique characteristics and abilities. All sides share some similarities, such as training infantry at a barracks, building armoured units and "high tech" building. Each building unlocks more advanced units, which allows you to acquire additional resources and even unlock a unique super-weapon.

The Sims 4
For anyone who doesn’t know the Sims is a life simulation game. Out of the two I have played Sims 4 is my favourite and I’ll be honest I love all the custom content. Just in case any of the people who create custom content thank you so much I love the effort you put in and thank you for creating amazing custom houses. Okay back to the game, players make their own Sim character and control their life to explore different personalities which change the way the game plays out.

Your Sims' moodlets changes the game play by influencing the sims' emotional state, introducing new interaction options. I also love the expansion packs and I own two packs and can’t wait to expand.  Similar to previous Sims games, player-created challenges abound. One of the most prevalent is the Legacy Challenge, in which players create a single Sim and try to make its family line last for ten generations.

It’s a great game to lose 3 hours without realising.
