Garry's Mod (Video Game Review #3)
Garry's Mod is a great game where you can create anything you want! This game from Valve is a great physics game where you can spawn items and characters from the hit Valve games; Half Life, Team Fortress, Portal, Left 4 Dead, etc. Garry's Mod (officially abbreviated as GMod) is a sandbox physics game using the Source engine. Garry's Mod has been available on Valve's content delivery service, Steam, since November 29, 2006. Despite being a standalone game, Garry's Mod requires the user to own at least one game on Steam based on the Source engine, such as Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Portal, or Team Fortress 2. It is also commonly used for the creation and publishing of videos on YouTube, mainly from Team Fortress 2, Half-Life 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. Garry's Mod was originally a modification for Valve's Half-Life 2, but was later made into a standalone Steam game that was officially released on November 29, 2006. Garry's Mod 10 (also known as Garry's Mod 11) is now technically obsolete. The current version, Garry's Mod 13, was released October 24, 2012. I give this game a 7.5 out of 10. Great game! If you want it, go to Steampowered.com and download the Steam Engine and purchase the game! See you guys on November 18th!

Pac-Man (Video Game Review #2)
Welcome back people! I really hope you continue to stay tuned on this blog and my other blog Zombie Apocalypse Tips! Okay, well here goes, today's review is an old classic arcade game that, still, is very very difficult to win! Ladies and gentlemen! Pac-Man! The player controls Pac-Man through a maze, eating pac-dots or pellets. When all pac-dots are eaten, Pac-Man is taken to the next stage, between some stages one of three intermission animations plays. Four enemies (Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde) roam the maze, trying to
catch Pac-Man. If an enemy touches Pac-Man, a life is lost. When all
lives have been lost, the game ends. Pac-Man is awarded a single bonus
life at 10,000 points by default. Near the corners of the maze are four larger, flashing
dots known as power pellets
that provide Pac-Man with the temporary ability to eat the enemies. The
enemies turn deep blue, reverse direction and usually move more slowly.
When an enemy is eaten, its eyes remain and return to the center box
where it is regenerated in its normal color. Blue enemies flash white
before they become dangerous again and the length of time for which the
enemies remain vulnerable varies from one stage to the next, generally
becoming shorter as the game progresses. In later stages, the enemies go
straight to flashing, bypassing blue, although they still reverse
direction when a power pellet is eaten; in even later stages, the ghosts
do not become non-dangerous at all (i.e., they do not change color),
but they still reverse direction. This game is a great game to play, even though it is difficult. Now this game has many other versions, many of which are online, such as Pax-Man. A futuristic Pac-Man game. Also is the Google Pac-Man anniversary. All these games are great so I rate them a 9. Not a perfect 10, but still a great game! Here is a funny/scary story for Pac-Man. Also be sure to check out the next review on November 10th!
