Fallout Shelter – Vault 101

Posted on Written by


One of the many surprises to come out from E3 was the release of Fallout Shelter. An mobile/tablet game which has you looking after your own vault managing the people, resources & challenging the wasteland. It's similar to any resource management game like tiny tower etc but it's FALLOUT !! & it's free. You can if you wish spend money to purchases lunch boxes which reward you with resources, caps, armour, weapons or new dwellers.

I currently have 35 dwellers, some equipped with armour & weapons. I decided to go for the layout below because when building an adjoining room you can merge three of the same rooms together to make a larger room which produces more & stores more of the resource. 


I have two dwellers who I have equipped with the best armour/weapon to wonder the wasteland looking for loot. It is a fine balancing act of dwellers & resources to ensure you can easily manage your vault. My next target is to build another power plant to reduce the pressure on that resource. 

New Game – Battlefield Hardline

Posted on Written by

After completing AC Unity next on the shelf was Battlefield Hardline. The presentation is very good, styled like a US cop TV show with episodes & recaps.

You play the role of Nick Mendoza who is a Miami cop involved in the drug war. Each episode advances the main story line whilst also giving you two types of side quests to complete.

The first are warrants, you have to identify your target & take them into custody. This is tough because your target will not be alone & you need to take out the other enemies with stealth so you can arrest your target. I've failed these warrant targets a few times & have had to retry from the last checkpoint. You don't have to retry & you can just carry on with the main campaign ignoring this side quest but where is the fun in that?

The other is case files where you track down clues to various cases, this is quite easy (although I did miss a couple & had to replay an episode) you just use your tracker to locate the clues to scan them. These cases do give you further information on the main quests so are not a pointless collectible.

I especially enjoyed episode 3 which has you visiting the everglades & you can drive an airboat. You are rewarded with more skill points for arresting an enemy which upgrade your level to unlock more weapons etc. The idea behind is to stop you going in gung-ho & just killing everything you see, trying to get you to play like a cop & arrest the bad guys.

Anyhow back to the everglades for me, I got some warrants to complete.

I have played many matches with Jocha in Words with Friends & very rarely beaten him but managed to get an early win against him in Capitals. Also finally won a game against magicaldrop having lost the last six.

I've completed the Dead Kings DLC for Assassin's Creed Unity & have gone back to playing with the level 28 Warlock to try and get it up to 32, this will give me two chances of completing the nightfall every week for Etheric Light drops.
