World of Warcraft

World of Warcraft - a name that many are familiar with, and a name that brings an almost overwhelming sense of nostalgia to those many.



World of Warcraft exists among hundreds, if not thousands, of other MMORPGs. However, more than a decade later, it still stands at the top. When it first came out, it was considered revolutionary. It had engaging and addicting gameplay, extensive lore that one could spend hours learning about and be fascinated by, and a massive world to explore. Most MMORPGs started adopting the gameplay format that WoW uses. Even today, new MMORPGs use the basic principles of gameplay and world-building that WoW used.

FIFA 16 is one of the most common and entertaining games in the world of gaming. This game is very commonly played by teenagers and also grown up adults. As we all are crazy football lovers this game touched everyone's heart. For the FIFA lovers the latest version of FIFA by EA SPORTS is totally out of the world. This game is full of passion, power, emotions, rage, and most importantly fun. It brings all the players together in short it is a very social game.



FIFA 16 is full of technology. EA SPORTS used real life green screen and also some famous players body movement and the way they play, as a result the game we play is so realistic. The game innovates across the entire pitch to deliver a balanced, authentic, and exciting football experience that lets us play our way, and compete at a higher level.

To reach the potential with FIFA Trainer we learn as we play with an optional graphic overlay that prompts us with gameplay options depending on our position on the pitch and trainer level. Basic commands get us started, while deeper hints will improve the game of the most skilled players.

Stealth element in video games

Being hidden from your enemies feels cool and taking them out by surprise feels even better. The element of stealth have been used in video games for a long time now and not only in stealth games. Here are my personal favorite games which i think really emphasize the element of stealth.




1. 'Thief' series
If you like sneaking around and be well... sneaky, then you'll definitely love this game. This game series have made its debut and since it was released it has always offered players a distinctive stealthy feeling and suspense as you take on quests and play as Garrett as each of his stories unfold.

The most recent 'thief' game was released last 2014 and it involves using using the shadows to your advantage just like its predecessors but unlike its predecessors, the most recent game offers a more mastered version of an open world.

2. Dishonored
This game series is similar to thief but your main protagonist has immortal powers which enables him to teleport, see through walls, possess animals and humans and more.

The first game involves our main protagonist who  have been betrayed and accused falsely of murder.

The most recent release of this game series would be Dishonored 2, click on the picture to check out the trailer, looks cool.

3. 'Assasin's creed' series
Maybe a bit too mainstream but definitely cool. The assassins creed series has been entertaining me and many others with its combination of dynamic action and stealth.

It involves our main protagonists using a machine which allows him to live as his assassin ancestors to learn about their secrets and play through historic events often depicted from real historical events. Each game has different ancestor and environment for us players to enjoy. The newest release of this series would be Assassin's creed syndicate, check out the trailer by clicking on the picture above. But I personally like the older Assassin creeds better you should check them out too, here's a video to help click here.
