This sequel the the Saints Row franchise will be the first saints Row to be released by a different company, Deep Silver, because of the bankruptcy of THQ and the sell out of Volition Studios.

Keyboard and Mouse Vs. Controller

Over the many years of gaming there have been to main types of controllers that where here sense the beginning are used in gaming today. The to main types are hand-helds and keyboard and mouse. The think is not allot of people thought about which of the two where better; so I will make some points about it.

The hand-helds has many advantages that the keyboard doesn't have. The main thing that a hand-held controller has is comfort, in fact most hand-held controllers where made mostly for the fell and comfort, as keyboards aren't always made for this purpose. Another thing going going for hand-helds is the ease of using buttons and the analog.

Keyboards and mice might not be conferable and might not be the easiest to use but that doesn't mean that they are bad. Keyboards have many buttons that you can change what each one dose if you want, and even make button combos that you would only have to press one button instead of five or more on an hand-held. And a great thing about the mouse is that they are built to be precise, instead of the analog stick that is sometimes hard to use unless your playing some racing game.

Over all they keyboard with mouse and hand-held controller both have there advantages and disadvantages. So I will say in my own opinion that keyboards with mouse is better than hand-held controllers.

What Minecraft Is to Me

I have been playing Minecraft for about two years now and I am still enjoying the game, like many other people I know. Minecraft is an Indie game so its not your plan RPG (Role-Playing-Game) or your  PVP (Player-Vs-Player) and PVE (Player-Vs-Environment).

Old Town Village

Minecraft is a game of infinite possibilities, with the ability to have your own worlds and do what ever you want to them. From trying to survive the onslaught of zombies to makeing a large city that looks just as good as some real ones.

I my self have been playing this game like I have said before for about two years, and in that time I have made great cities, survived the onslaught of the hardest mobs in the game, and also made great friends (online of-course) that I still talk to today. I will say the Minecraft is the best game I have ever played in my life time and I still enjoy this game with the communty that surrounds it.

Minecraft Remake of Final Fantasy Midgar

And if I had ever gotten bored of the game I would just add some mods to the game; that would could change everything and bring out more challenges and give me more options of how I would play the game.
