Treyarch Games

Treyarch has been a gaming studio since 1996 and have made many games in their history like the Black Ops Series in Call of Duty, Modern warfare and Call of Duty Ghosts in which they also worked with many other developers. They also made many of the early Call of Duty games like cod 2 and cod 3 then Call of Duty World at War and many more other than the Call of Duty games. Treyarch is also the inventor of Zombies in the Call of Duty series in Call of Duty World at War.

 Treyarch has grown in the past years and has set many gaming records like most sales on the launch day with Black Ops II. The anticipation for Black Ops III is definitely growing especially now after the beta was released so people could get some early access to see what the new features are. On the 25th of this month Treyarch announced that the old gen consoles would not have a Campaign and paint shop capabilities, because of this the old gen price is lowered.

Now that you know that the old gen consoles will have less content and less price would you still buy it?

Leave what you think in the comments.

People who are playing Xbox or PlayStation or even PC spend most of the time inside their house. I'm not saying mobile gaming is much better but you can go outside and play with your friends and still have millions of game in your pocket.
Some pros of Xbox are that you play on a bigger screen and there games can be a little better sometimes but mobile gaming in the end is still the most popular and will be for a long time. This is just my opinion I would like to know what you guys think is mobile gaming the best type of gaming or do you believe something else is.

The Immortal Game



Ancient games like Ur and Senet have long since faded from the spot light; Modern games like monopoly and others survive off of thematic editions that temporarily reinvigorate them, but like Ur and Senet they will also fade. Only very few games can stand up to the test of time and chess is one of the best. The first version of chess in India  was called Chautranga which in translation means the 4 divisions of military. The rules of Chautranga are vastly differentiate from that of modern chess which was first seen in 1400s Spain. The majority of chess's development occurred in tandem with the Islamic empire as a version called Shatranj. Shatranj is very similar to chess but bishops and pawns moved slightly different and stalemates "when there is no legal move" counted as a loss rather than a draw. The first undisputed  Chess world champion Wilhelm Steinz was crowned in the late 1800s. The 2015 world chess cup is as of 9/13 is entering its second round. Why do you think chess has lasted so long?

PIECES:
The Pawn:

Description: Individually the weakest of all the chess pieces but is very important for structure and king safety. Can also be the deciding factor in close games to to its ability to promote to any other piece upon reaching the back row. Each Player starts with a Line of  8 pawns.
Movement: Pawns can move one space forward along there starting column and can capture on top right or top left on to adjacent diagonals.

The Knight:
Description: The knight is unique in that it is the only piece that can "Jump" over other pieces. A knight is a minor piece and worth about 3 pawns each. Each player starts with two knights. Best in closed positions due to its ability to jump.
Movement: The green squares represent possible moves for the Knight. Note: A knight on a dark square only attacks light squares visa verse.
The Bishop:
Description: The bishop is the slightly more strong of the two minor pieces do to its strength in open positions. Each player starts with two bishops one on a light square one on a dark square. Due to their movement they will stay on there starting square color. A bishop is worth about 3 pawns each.
Movement: Bishops move along all diagonals. They can not "jump" pieces.


The Rook:
Description: The rook is the second most powerful piece in chess, but only late in the game. Minor pieces are best played in the early game due to there mobility rooks are best played in the late game due to the massive square coverage. Each player starts with 2 in the corner of the boards. They are worth about 5 pawns each
Movement: Rooks move along ranks and columns. They cannot "jump" over other pieces.


The Queen:
Description: The most powerful piece in chess. The queen combines the power of the rook and bishop. Each player only gets one at the start of the game. A Queen is worth about 9 pawns.
Movement: Can move both Along columns and ranks as well as diagonally. Can't "jump" over pieces.
The King:
Description: The most important piece in chess. If the king is lost the player loses. This happens when the king is put in check mate  which means that it is being attacked and it cannot escape. Each player gets one. A king is worth an infinite number of pawns.
Movement: Can move to any adjacent square that isn't under attack or occupied.



PUZZLES:

The Diamond Puzzle:
Composed by Abu-Bakr Muhammad 840 C.E.
White to move
Forced Checkmate in Three Moves


The mutilated chess board problem:
Composed by Max Black 1946 C.E.
If a chess board has two dark squares on the opposite corners removed is it possible to cover every square with dominoes(each domino covers 2 squares) on to the board without overlap?

The Difference Between H1Z1 And Dayz

H1Z1 and DayZ are survival games but they have such a big difference between the too because H1Z1 is more complete then DayZ even tho they are both in pre-alpha. Dayz first started out as a mod for arma 2 and now it is its own game built by the mod maker of the original mod his name is Dean Hall. H1Z1 started out as its own game it wasn't a mod or anything like that both games are for PC but H1Z1 will be on the PS4 soon.

H1Z1 is more complete  then Dayz because you can build bases,craft food,weapons,traps,health related things.Also it has working vehicles,more loot spawns and interact able buildings. H1Z1 has a game mode called battle royal you can play it anytime you want you just have to find the right server
now dayz has something similar but it only happens once a year.H1Z1 has a working map and compass plus you can build a improvised compass.


DayZ is a pre-alpha build so it has really bad game breaking bugs and the loot spawn has problems.So far DayZ has one vehicle but the problem with it is you  cant save it because once you log out people can come over and find then take it for them selves.The things DayZ has that work or are cool to have is it  has a variety of weapons but most don't really help kill off the zombies.It has a ton of different food such as can goods that you have to find sharp objects to open them which makes even more difficult to survive  but in H1Z1 you just click and eat it.Now DayZ so as i know doesn't have a working map or compass and when you find them its hard to use them i could never get them to work but that's proly cause i didn't try very hard.





So even know that both games have a lot of game breaking things doesn't mean that they are horrible games they both are fantastic game I have them both and i play them both and i don't have big problems with them at all so I recommend getting them if you a PC because there not on consoles H1Z1 will be on ps4 but not for a while they thought of bringing DayZ to consoles but they want to wait till they get the PC version fixed.

Call of Duty vs Battlefield

Image result for battlefieldI think that in today's games, war games specifically; that they differentiate by who made it. Call of Duty was made by Activision, While BattleField was made by DICE. In Call of Duty, your basic objective is to just shoot and kill everyone you see that is on the enemy team. Battlefield is also like that, but Battlefield also has an objective. Battlefield has better graphics, and is more of a realistic game. Some may argue that Call Of Duty is better than Battlefield, but I personally think Battlefield requires more skill. Call of Duty is more of a game where you just jump around in exo suits and trickshot noobs. Battlefield takes place of more of a modern day warfare. Although, Battlefield Hardline in my opinion was terrible. Battlefield was known to be a very realistic war game. But DICE decided to change that view on them and made it Cops VS Robbers. I thought this was outrageous. Call of Duty used to make more modern games like Battlefield did, They had the Modern Warfare Series, Which has 3 games in it. Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3. Those where the games that everyone enjoyed. But starting in 2012 Activision/Treyark decided to make more futuristic games. They first started with Black Ops 2, then they went to Call of Duty Ghosts, which was kind of modern and kind of futuristic. Then they made Advanced Warfare, and now they are coming out with Black Ops 3. You may notice I am missing the Black Ops 1? Well, the transaction between Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 was quite big. Black ops 1 was a Vietnam war era game, then in 2012 Treyark made Black ops 2 which changed the who course of the game, which had nothing to do with the black ops 1. Image result for battlefieldImage result for modern warfare 3
