Halo Wars review




I love playing rts (real time strategy) there fun and require skill or atleast some of them. well i was blown away by this game. It blew past of what i thought it would be like. This is one of the better balance rtc game out there.

The game takes place twenty years before the first halo game adding to the already rich story line. It follows the story of the uscm has they try to fight back the covenant menace. for the planet harvest.

The controls are quite easy to get use too. you use the X button to select your units that you are going to use and after selecting them it is used again to tell them where to go. the Rb button is used to select all units while LB is used to select only the units that you can see.

Racism in Resident Evil 5


There has been a lot of controversy in resident evil 5 and i am going to end this once and for all. I am not racist in any way and I am so sick of racism in this world. Resident evil 5 is not being racist and I will explain why not.

resident evil 4 takes place in a undisclosed Spanish-speaking village Europe and most of the enemies you kill are of Spanish orgin.

resident evil 5 takes place in Africa and has Africans and a few others with different ethnicity has enemies.

There has been claims that resident evil 5 is being racist because it has a white character and light skinned female African killing Africans that have been infected with a virus. now while that does seem a little racist but when resident evil 4 was released no one of Spanish descent screamed racism but when resident evil 5 takes place in Africa. people scream racism.

when I play the game I don't see the enemies has Africans instead I see them has enemies not white, not black but just has enemies. it is racist when you start to pick them out just because of there skin color.

this was written on the comment board here http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/693212/The-Atlantic-Weighs-In-On-The-Resident-Evil-5-Is-Racist-Issue.html this is one of the few that makes the most sense.

OK. I'm black, FAR from 35 and consider myself a gamer. Been gaming as long
as I can remember. The people that have issues with this game are the people who
have really been through some racism in their lives. I have been through my fair
share in my lifetime, being from the south, but, I know when to take it
seriously, and when to let it go. Honestly, I've never thought of racism in
Resident evil. I just know it's the zombies or Plagas, or us. I guess I look at
the whole situation differently because I've played RE from the beginning till
now. There are some things worth getting worked up about, and some things that
you NEED to let go. This is one of those things. Fight for what really matters
and leave the games to people that understand THAT IT'S JUST A GAME! All races
play games. It's not genocide or anything.
