Shadow of Mordor – Branding the Warchiefs

Posted on Written by

It's been a while since my last post on Shadow of Mordor, after defeating The Hammer the games takes you to a new location 'Sea of Nurn' which gives you another new map to explore & mission to complete.

Nurn is a nice lush land with lots of greenery to enjoy, you meet Lithariel who asks for your help in saving her mother. You also meet a Torvin a dwarf hunter who has some enjoyable hunting missions.

The main campaign mission is more difficult in that you have to brand (this is an ability that lets you control your enemy) all the five warchiefs. This has taken me quite a while because the warchiefs & various captains you meet are far more tougher & challenging.

I think I am near the end game jut want to finish off the Lithariel missions before I take on the next campaign mission.

Knack – Completed

Posted on Written by

It's taken a while to complete, my original co-op partner has now moved on to build her dream castle in Minecraft leaving me to ask for the assistance of my son to complete the last few levels.

We tracked down Vicktor who used the key to transform which backfired on him & transformed him into himself into a guardian.

Having a much older & more experienced gamer as my co-op partner made the last few levels very easy to complete.

The ending credits to the game are slightly enjoyable which show Knack dancing around the screen.

Overall it's not a bad game just needed to be fine-tuned in a few areas.
Back to Shadow of Mordor.

New Game – Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare

Posted on Written by

I'm bored of Borderlands so we decided to try Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare on the PS4 instead.

The Garden Ops mode is a 4-player wave attack in which you choose one of four character types & shoot zombies.

I went with the peashooter class to try and do most damage. You start the stage by choosing a garden you want to defend from zombies. There are empty plant pots dotted around the level you can use these to plant a 'Plant' that will help you attack the zombies or heal your characters.

The first few waves are easy but at level 5 you will get a mini-boss wave and after this you get more difficult zombies on the later waves. The final wave 10 is very difficult and once you have defeated the bosses you have to reach a checkpoint to exit the stage whilst surviving a zombie onslaught.

Your character levels up by completing various challenges to unlock new skills & the coins you are awarded can be used to purchase sticker packs which give you plants you can use in the various modes or upgrades to your character class.

It makes a nice change from Borderlands.
