Outlast

What was the scariest game you have ever played? Did it have jump scares? Were you tempted to play it in the dark? Well, the games that I have played which was the most scariest was Outlast. Some of you might think, "Oh, that game..psh, that's not scary". Well, imagine, you, playing it in a room, that was dark, all by yourself. Well, I played it once in the dark. This game was scary because it has jump scares, and I mean A LOT of jump scares that you don't think will scare you, but they will. That game is basically about a mental hospital being full of infected people, it's like zombies, but they aren't zombies. These people that are "infected" are smart, can talk, and know what they are doing. You basically have to look for clues in the game. Therefore, it turns put to be bad because there are things everywhere running after you and trying to stop from what you are doing. 

Not only, does this game have a good storyline, jump scares, nor some scary stuff, but it also has really good graphics. The game has really good graphics that seem real. The blood is perfectly real but is just a game. And the way that it looks when the creature runs towards to you but you aren't allowed to go back because it will eventually go slow. Overall, I really recommend this game if you enjoy playing horror games then you should play this game.

PS4

As you all know, the PS4 is officially released and many have gone to purchase it on Black Friday. Though it might have been hard to get it since people get crazy while shopping. The PS4 is much better, in my opinion, because it has improved more when it comes to technology. Now,smoke of you probably have already purchased it and might know how to use it, but there are a few things people should know about the PS4. Some of you might think, "Oh, I already know what to do, I don't need to know additional information". Well, that's your choice, wether you want to know, or you don't. 

Things you should know about the PS4:

1. PlayStation Plus is recommendable. Why? Well, the PlayStation Plus allows players to interact online and play games with their friends. You will also need it to gain access to PS4's ability to download game updates right away. Therefore, you won't need to download services like Netflix, Amazon, nor Hulu on your PS4 console. 

2. The PS4 comes with the system itself, a power cable, and HDMI cable, a DualShock 4 controller, and a USB cable. The PS4 will be released with a mono headset for the players that talk to others when playing. The HDMI will only work and connect to the console. The DualShock 4 controllers cannot be purchased elsewhere because it will not include the cable it comes with the console. 

3. The PS4 was released on Black Friday at midnight. The system was released in Latin America, Australia, and Europe on November 29. It was released on February 22 in Japan. The PS4 was $100 cheaper than the Xbox One, which was a good price. 

4. Like other systems, they can sometimes have some minor glitches, which annoys most players. Some users say that they have had problems logging into the PlayStation network due to the high volume of new users since many have purchased the console. It always works to be patient with the new console and the network since some kinks are not to be forced.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

Well as you all know, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was released worldwide for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 29, 2013. But for different consoles, there will be different dates in which it will be released. Like all the other Assassin's Creed games, they all had a good storyline and good graphics. But the different thing about the 4th one that was just released has even better graphics. No matter which system you play it on, it will be known as the worlds best looking game of 2013. I'm sure that the best thing about this game is the graphics they included in the gameplay. Not many might think the graphics are important but for some it can be. The storyline is as good as the graphics but in my opinion, I think the graphics are better then anything else since the gamer would like a game with good graphics instead of bad. 

The game includes three main cities which is Havana, Kingston, and Bahamas which reside under Spanish, British, and pirate influence, the main character of this game is Edward Kenway who is known to be a British pirate and a member of the Assassin Order. Some of the other characters include from Assassin's Creed III like the father of Haytham Kenway and the grandfather. The rest of the players in this game are pirates who are Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch, Benjamin Hornigold, Anne Bonny, Calico Jack, and Charles Vane. The story is divided in two halves which include present day and in historical days. These are the basic things to know about the game such as the setting and the characters. Hopefully you enjoyed reading this. Peace out!

Assassin's Creed

Many of you guys know that the game Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is going to be released on October 29 of this year which will be exciting for those fans of Assassin's Creed. Since the game is being released in about 3 days, I decided to make a topic about the UBI Work Shop of Assassin's Creed items that people can buy. I will put the link at the bottom including pictures of some items that includes to buy. This is a website, therefore, ordering online is required, I don't think there is a store that I haven't heard of, but of there is a store, please feel free to add the location for those who don't really like to order online. Anyways, this is a good place to but Assassin's Creed items including stickers, belts, pins, books, flags, t-shirts, jewelry, hats, and best of all, the sweaters.

What I think that most of you would like to buy are the sweaters since it's so cool to wear them. Yea they sell it in other stored like HotTopic, but they aren't that good like it would be on the official Assassin's Creed store which is UBI Work Shop. Now, some of the items can be a little expensive but it won't hurt to try and earn money and saving it to buy it yourself. Unless, you want it for a birthday present then that would be lucky for you to get. The original prices of these items come from $4.99 to about $99.99. But not to worry, as you earn money and saving it, you can get these items as soon as possible. Well, hopefully you enjoyed reading this and would probably have been useful. Happy Friday :D!!

In the US, it will cost $399 and  in the UK £349. The official PS4 release date was announced at Gamescom 2013. The console will be on sale in the US on November 15 and in the UK it will be on sale on November 29 Now, you may be wondering how much cheaper is it than the Xbox One, well, here is your answer, it is $100 cheaper. 

Now the PS4 is really different that the other types of PS consoles. The PS4 control is now touch screen, it don't have the dual shock. The console has better graphics than the PS3. The design of the PS4 looks professional. But it still contains that same type of idea.

The memory of the PS4 is much better than the other types that they have made. The PS4 will ship pack 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Overall, it contains super-fast items and enables lighting fast performance.
