Minecraft

                                  Why?

             I have always wondered why Minecraft is made up of blocks. If you want to place down other shapes you would have to download mods. A lot of people will disagree with this but I think there should be an option for different shapes. Minecraft is still a great game but it needs variations of shapes. Minecraft can be played online with friends and there are multiple blocks such as stairs and half slabs which adds variety but I think it can be improved still. My favorite thing in Minecraft is fighting but you have to build a house and prepare first so it takes long. Or you can just punch them to death but using tools would be easier. You should get Minecraft still and the reasons why are listed below.

                    Why you should still get it

            It is a great game were you can build, explore, destroy, and fight. You can have countless resources you can say you have infinite. On the other hand you could be stranded on an island with one tree keeping you alive by giving you apples and saplings to plant for more wood. If you were to describe that in a few words it would be your about dead. There are survival games were you can destroy blocks and can only get supplies in chests sprinkled around the map or break leaves for apples. You should really get the game either on xbox or pc. On pc it is more expensive but further ahead in updates and a bigger world. On xbox it is less expensive but smaller worlds and you start out with a map.

Halo Reach

                                            Basics

                   Halo Reach is a game were people fight each other in different gametypes. You would normally have two weapons unless you play a gametype that only has one. In matchmaking (online) the most played gametype is Infection. In this gametype if your a human you have a shotgun and magnum if your a zombie then you start with an enery sword. For the game to end the zombies must infect all humans or time ends and humans win. There is also custom games were you and your friends can only play and you can change the rules for the games. Forge mode is were you can create maps and gametypes. The last one firefight is when you fight enemies for a certain amount of time and rounds or unlimited time and rounds.

                                      What I Think

                  I think that matchmaking is the best gamemode. Because you can play online with friends and test out how good you are. Even though infection is the most played my favorite is team swat. In team swat if you shoot to the head its an instant kill. You have two weapons a dmr (designated marksmen rifle) and magnum. My favorite weapon out of the two is the dmr. Also in team swat you win by getting fifty points if time runs out the team with the most points wins. If you like building go to forge world it is hard to build and im bad at it but it is fun.

Black Ops Zombies

                                           Basics

             You have a pistol and a zombie apocalypse has began what do you do? Fight. Stack up on points by killing zombies or rebuilding barriers earn better weapons by spending points. Earn different perks after a certain number of rounds the more rounds you survive the better perks. Most people start of by using only their pistol or knifing. The first round is really easy about ten zombies only. The higher number round you are at the more knifes it would take to kill a zombie (First round one, second two, third three, etc.). Save up your points to open doors for more space to run but be warned that means more zombies.
                                                               

                                       Survival

               The first five rounds are easy but they build up and become harder as they progress. You can choose if you want a better gun or stick with your pistol and knifing. The zombies are really slow the first few rounds but they get faster during new rounds. Even when they are headless they can still walk a little and attack. So if you get a headshot still keep shooting. You can play with friends and survive longer. Or play alone which most people do and say it is easier but i don't believe them personally. I myself am terrible at zombies because I spend my time in other gametypes. But it is still a very awesome gamemode and lots of people enjoy it.

                                      Basics of Minecraft

                Minecraft is a block building game in which you can build anything. If you have creativity then this is an amazing game for you. You can either go in creative for unlimited resources and flying. Their are different difficulties in minecraft for xbox easy, normal, hard, and peaceful. On the pc version there is easy, normal, hard, peaceful, adventure, and creative. On peaceful you have to gather resources same in the rest of the difficuties except for creative mode and I am not sure about adventure mode. Since I play the xbox version. The xbox version also does not have creative mode but I know about that one.
                                                        

                                     Survival and Creative

                 In survival you can either live in peace on peaceful or have to survive on another difficulty. In this you have to gather resources and survive through the night. At night time hostile creatures will spawn and attack you if it sees you. In the overworld some mobs are creepers, skeletons, zombies, spiders, and slimes. There are also peaceful mobs like sheep, wolves (If not provoked), pigs, cows, and chickens. In the nether some hostile creatures are ghasts, pigmen, blazes, and magma cubes. In creative mode you can build with literally an unlimited source of blocks. You can still fight but you will be invincible. Some servers hosts survival games (The Hunger Games but Minecraft version.) players can team up and fight each other or fight alone.
