Rebuild Game

In the game "Rebuild," you have to reclaim your whole city from zombies. When you start playing the game, you can name your city and choose how big the city is. You also name the leader, but you can't name the other characters. Once you made the name of the city and leader, you can choose the difficulty from easy, normal, hard, very hard and nightmare. You get a certain amount of people in the beginning, and while you are playing the game you can recruit more people. You start with a few squares, and you have one person on guard duty, and you can add more people on guard duty to increase the fort's defenses. The people on guard duty defend the fort from random zombie attacks and attacks from zombie hordes. To reclaim areas, you have to send people to kill the zombies, but there's usually a certain amount of danger that can be reduced by sending more soldiers to assist. Also, there's a button on the top-left part of the game screen and when you move your mouse over it, you can see how much danger is present to your fort. To play the game, you click on a building or place in or outside of your fort. If you want to reclaim an area outside of your fort, than you can send soldiers to fight the zombies there to clear the areas of zombies and reclaim it. Zombie hordes are large groups of zombies that are presented by a large red exclamation mark and you can look at the button in the top-left corner of the game screen and see how much danger there is present to your fort. When you reclaim an area, you can replace it with a new kind of building, and it will probably take about 5 days to rebuild a new building. If you have any of your survivors outside on missions and a zombie horde is approaching that building, the mission is automatically canceled. If you try to send soldiers or people out to kill the zombies near a zombie horde, the mission will not allow you to continue, because it says that your squad will not go anywhere near the zombie horde. When you reclaim an area, you can replace it with other things, but I would recommend that if you have a useless building you should try to replace it with a farm so that you have food to feed your survivors. If you have a lot of survivors, then more food is reduced. If you are running low on food, then build a farm ahead of time to increase your food supply daily. Also, big farms are good to reclaim because they produce a lot of food. Also, when you have 0 food, people either leave or die. Another important thing in the game is to keep your survivors happy and their morale should be good. If they are low on morale, they threaten to leave. At the beginning of the game you start with a certain amount of people (depending on difficulty) and the people can die of the following ways:


1) Zombie Attack or Horde; some zombies climb over the wall and kill [a] survivor[s]
2) When you send a  group of soldiers on a mission and there is still a danger above 0%, there's a chance that someone would get killed, so in other words, killed on a mission.
3) Illness/Disease
4) Starvation
5) Madman Attacks
6) Infection
7) Rival Gang Attack from the "Last Judgment Gang"
8) Sent out on a mission and died
9) Suicide


Also, if your fort is overrun by zombies from an attack, then you either lose a square (a place like apartments, suburbs, parks, gas stations, and whatever) or a survivor. You lose more survivors/squares if you have a really high danger level.


To train people to become something else, you have to assign them on a mission or train them at a school (that obviously has been reclaimed). You can train anybody to be anything, and I think it takes 3 days for them to become what they were training to be, and they would lose their old skills when they become something else. Here's a list of people and what they do:


Leader: Good at recruiting people. You can name your own leader in the beginning, and you need I think about 15 of them to establish law and order (again, because it was destroyed). Represented by a character wearing a white-long-sleeved dress shirt and dark gray suit pants carrying a blue flag.


Soldier: Good at killing zombies and defending the fort. Also, if you send more of them (or less, depending on how many zombies there are and what the danger level is),  they lower the danger level. Represented by a person wielding a gun and wearing camouflage clothing.


Survivor: Good at nothing, but they can be trained to become something else, and you can do this by assigning them on guard duty or sending them on missions. Represented by a person wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.


Scientist: Good at researching cures for curing illnesses, binoculars to spot survivors that you can recruit (if you have enough apartments/suburbs they can live in) and researching anti-spoil things that preserve food from going bad. They can also research the cure. Represented by a person wearing a lab coat and khaki pants and carrying a vial (glass bottle where they put the chemical stuff in).


Builder: Good at building walls around claimed areas. Send more of them on missions and they can speed up the building of stuff.  Represented by a person wearing blue overalls and carrying a hammer.


Food Collector: Good at collecting food. When you send them to collect food, they gather more food. I remember one time I sent a soldier and a food collector on a mission to collect food, and the food collector got killed, and the soldier came back alive and explained it like this: "The food collector (I forgot what the character's name was, but it was a female character, and no, the soldier did not say what's in these parentheses) was watching for Zed (Zombies) but was trapped and overwhelmed by them. She got her throat ripped out before she could even scream." That sounded really disgusting.  Food collectors are represented by a person wearing a red long-sleeved sweater and grayish pants and they carry a large brown bag and there are food cans around them.


To "win" the game, you have to reclaim the Evil Graveyard and have 15 soldiers attack it the Evil Portal in it. You also have to have 3 defensive buildings, other stuff like hospitals and I forget what else. You can put more than 15 soldiers to attack the Evil Portal that sends in the Zombie Hordes (huge zombie groups that attack your fort and are really strong), but no less than 15 soldiers. It takes 10 days to destroy the Evil Portal with 15 soldiers, and when you do destroy it, it shows a small clip that shows a group of your soldiers shooting at the Evil Portal. Then, it shows a caption that says, "On June 20th, 2014, a group of survivors destroyed the Evil Portal. Then you can choose to keep on playing the game and continue to reclaim the city. When you see City Hall, you can kill all the zombies there and reclaim the City Hall, and when you do reclaim City Hall, you can recreate law and order, but you need 5 leaders and some other stuff to recreate law and order. I haven't reclaimed the whole city, so I don't know what happens in the end when you reclaim everything and still have good morale, a lot of survivors (the highest I got was 49) and recreated law and have a good amount of food. Also, when a survivor leaves, it shows that they died, but really they didn't. If everyone dies or you lose all your squares, then you lose the game, and then it shows this: Zombies eating people, and the people they show are: a dead leader, a dead soldier and a dead food collector. A really weird thing that happened in the game was this: A scientist died of sickness, and then when I had only one person left (the leader whom I named Magic Balloon), it showed that the same scientist again died. When I had only one person left (the leader Magic Balloon), I sent him on a mission, so technically he didn't die when the zombies attacked the fort.

New Blog

This blog that you are viewing is my new blog, and this blog has posts about games and game reviews. I haven't posted much on this blog, mostly because it started the day before this post was made, and the first four posts were all pre-made, so that's why I was able to post those four posts about games. My other blog is called "The Fish Bowl," and that blog has posts about nothing in specific-- just random stuff. My first blog (The Fish Bowl) was made back in September 2010. If you want to see my old blog "The Fish Bowl," go to this URL: http://tuna234.blogspot.com/, or you could just click the URL I put on this post. The URL for this blog which is called "World of Games" has the URL of http://madgamer3000.blogspot.com/.

Endless War 4 Game

In Endless War 4, the newest version of the Endless War Series so far (that I know of) you can change the difficulty of the game, use the cheat "all weapons available" and you can also see what weapons you are using, such as main weapon, secondary weapon (most of the time a pistol) and a grenade of your choice (if you are playing the "Winter War" campaign or "Invasion of Italy" campaign , you can only use fragmentation grenades or high explosion grenades). In this game, you can't shoot through the barriers (which are like a silvery kind of color) and the characters stand out a bit more. Also, you can get your character to lie down on the ground (to decrease the chances of being shot, but it doesn't work completely because you obviously still get shot) by hitting the "Shift" button on your keyboard (you can still shoot while lying on the ground and you can still change weapons, but you can't move around) and when you hit "Shift," you keep holding the button down so that your character remains lying down. Also, you can't turn around 180 degrees to shoot the enemy behind you, so remember that when your character is lying down, you can't shoot all around you. Another thing in this game is that if you want to change weapons, you click buttons 1-3, 1 is your main weapon, 2 is your secondary weapon (most of the time a pistol) and 3 uses your combat knife. My favorite thing to do in the game is to get 4 enemies to shoot at you, all of them in a line, and dodge the bullets (they have 25 bullets if they have a Mosin or Mauser95k rifle, and I only do this to enemies with rifles because it's easier to dodge the rifle bullets because they shoot once per second). When they run out of bullets, they throw grenades, and they most of the time have high explosion grenades, so that would mean they would have 6 grenades (numbers of grenades explained in Endless War 3 Game post), and when they run out of grenades, they pull out a pistol and the enemy (the ones with the green uniform in the first two levels of the "Winter War" campaign) have a Tokarev pistol and that has an 8-bullet clip with 24 bullets in store, so they have 32 pistol bullets (which don't do much damage depending on difficulty, type of gun and damage dealt). When they run out of bullets, they pull out a combat knife and when you are in sight they just stand there stabbing nothing, and when you walk out of sight, they go to where they saw you last. So imagine this; four of your enemies are standing there with knives, and you can just shoot them from far away and they just stand there, still stabbing nothing. You can also try getting them to stab and kill each other (if they are standing withing stabbing range of each other). Remember that if you walk up to an enemy with a knife, the knife is strong and it can kill you with 2 hits, so stay away. Also, the officers in the game (the ones with only pistols and wear hats) have just a pistol as there weapon, and when they run out of bullets they just pull out a knife because they don't have a main weapon or any grenades. In this game you can also control partners, but only one at a time, and you can move them where you want them to by first: clicking "E" to select a partner, point your cross hair to the place where you want them to go to and hit "Q" to get them to move there. To throw a grenade you point your cross hair to where you want to throw the grenade and click "F." In the future wars campaign you can get modern weapons to new future weapons that are stronger. I'd say that the strongest weapon in the game is the Arctic Warfare Magnum because it's like a regular rifle but kills in one hit, because it deals 600 damage, and it's also a .50 caliber rifle. But I also think that the strongest weapon is (in my opinion), is the Napalm Launcher. The reason why I'd say that this is the strongest weapon is because unlike the Rocket Launcher, the Napalm Launcher can also be used as a Flamethrower (special attack that can be used by hitting space bar) and the Napalm Launcher doesn't shoot regular rockets, it shoots fiery rocket stuff, and that is a one hit kill in all difficulties, just like the Rocket Launcher (and the Arctic Warfare Magnum and some other weapons that can be used in all weapons available). There are a lot more weapons available and maybe the Napalm Launcher and the AWM (Arctic Warfare Magnum) and Rocket Launcher) isn't the strongest weapon in the game, maybe some are equal and stuff, so if you go on the hardest difficulty and use the "all weapons available," then you can use all weapons and compare the damage done to enemies. Also, to use a special attack, you hit the space-bar button (only if the weapon you have has a special attack).

Endless War 3 Game

When you see this post, you might wonder why there isn't a post on Endless War 2. The reason for this is explained in the Endless War 1 post. In Endless War 3, you can do the same thing as you can do in part 1, but in this game you can use the cheat "all weapons available" and use any weapon in the game that you want to use. You can choose from different campaigns just like in Endless War 1, but in Endless War 1 or 3 (I forgot which one) there is a glitch that allows you to shoot through some parts of certain walls, and I'm not talking about thin-housed walls or doorways you can shoot the enemy through, I'm talking about the yellow barriers you can hide behind and you can shoot the enemy through certain places in the yellow barriers. In Endless War 3 the controls are a lot like the controls in Endless War 1, but in Endless War 3, you can use grenades and see what secondary pistol you are using. To pick what grenade you use, you click the arrows below the grenade preview and see what grenades are available. Certain levels mean certain grenades, but all levels have high explosion and fragmentation grenades. If you use the cheat "all weapons available" or played a level in part of the future wars campaign, you can see that there is 1 new grenade, a splitter grenade, which isn't very good because all it does is explode and all the splitter parts keep exploding and splitting apart on contact, and the reason why the splitter grenade sucks is because I don't think it does much damage. When you choose to use either fragmentation or splitter grenades, you only get three in the levels, probably because they are stronger. Also, if you choose high explosion grenades, you get six, which is probably because they do the least damage to enemies, but I think they are good against tanks. to use the grenade in Endless War 3, you hit the "4" key and you click to where you want to throw the grenade, But in Endless War 4, you just point your cursor (cross-hair in the game, the little aim thing if you don't know what it is) and hit the "F" button and it throws the grenade to where you put your cross-hair (mouse, cursor). In the game Endless War 3, you can choose the difficulty in the game (I think) and you can also play as an alien trooper (like a regular soldier against humans), an alien commander (which is like a regular machine-gunner but walks really slowly and has a stronger gun), and a death commander, which is a really fast moving character that can run up to enemies with a melee weapon without being shot if you can dodge the bullets shot at you. I think that when playing as a death commander, I recommend using a strong weapon that's a fast-fire weapon because it would be fun to run fast and shoot enemies without getting shot (depending on how well you dodge bullets). If you don't know what a death commander is, it's an alien. Also, to control your troops in this game, it's the same as in Endless War 1; you move your mouse (cursor, cross-hair, whatever you want to call it) to where you want  them to move and hit the button "Q" on your keyboard. Just like in Endless War 1, you can't control one troop at a time.

Endless War 1 Game

In Endless War 1 Game you can fight enemies and choose different missions. In the game you go to an area marked "this way" to beat each level. In the game you can select different weapons your character uses, and you can also take the weapons the enemies drop. In the game you can switch weapons by hitting the buttons 1, 2, and 3. Button 1 uses the main weapon, button 2 uses the secondary weapon (pistol most of the times), and button 3 uses an army knife. The levels you play have different difficulties, such as nightmare (extremely hard to beat), hard (hard to beat), normal (regular), and easy, which is just plain easy. One of the levels in either in Endless War 1 or Endless War 3 (I forgot which one), the difficulty is described as "fun," and in the level you shoot at an anti-tank squad and everything blows up and it's really easy and sometimes the enemies kill eachother. There is an Endless War 2, except that game was messed up so I won't make a post about it, which means that I will skip Endless War 2 and blog about Endless War 3 and then Endless War 4. I recommend that you do not play Endless War 2 because apparently there's just some messed up stuff in it. In Endless War 1, you can command your soldiers by telling them where to move. To do this, you move your mouse (cursor, crosshair, whatever you want to call it) to where you want your partners to move and hit the "Q" button; but in Endless War 1, you can't control one of your troops at a time.

Frogger

The other day I decided to try and play the game "Frogger," an old classic game from the 80's. When I was playing Frogger, I didn't know how to get to the next level, and whenever I got a frog to the end, I would sometimes run into it with another frog, which basically means that the frog there first stayed but the other... didn't make it. When I found out how to get to the next level, I was still having difficulty getting the frog to safety, which wasn't very smart because I should have atleast made it to level 2. When I did make it to level 2, the cars sped up and there where crocodiles in the water. The logs in the river sped up as well as the turtles, and some of the turtles ducked under water, which caused the frog to...die, if it was sitting on them.  In the game there is a time limit and you start with 3 lives. When the frog is hit by a car or the frog misses a log, the frog dies and you lose a life, leaving you with 2. In level 3, the farthest I made it to (ha, not a very good record), the safe zone between the street and the river is no longer safe, because there are snakes crawling there. Sometimes the crocodiles would be in the end zone where the frog is supposed to go at the end of the level, so if you succesfully get the frog to the end zone, you might lose a life because the crocodile might eat the frog. I might try to beat the game Frogger but if the farthest level I can get to is 3, then I should either try harder or just play the game for fun, but I could just play other videogames.
