LO4 - Showing conventions of the genre - contents
- While the one on the left has more colour it still has the same basic aspects as mine, with what's in the magzine on the left of the page and images of content on the right.
LO4 - Showing conventions of the genre - cover
- At the bottom of the front page there is usually some mention of what will be inside the issue. This is present in both my magazine
- The name of the game on the cover is in roughly the same place on both cover
- The issue number is under the title on both covers.

LO3 - Peer Assesment
Work reviewed: MGSV review
Feedback:
Grade recieved: Merit
Because thr review feels written from a personal standpoint.
And it reads like a review from an actual magazine.
Self relection: I feel as though this review is as good as I can make it and cannot think of anything else I can add to improve it.

LO3 - Game previews article: draft
Battlefront:
I've seen as many people critisizing star wars battlefront as I've seen praising it. and I don't understand why people make such a big fuss! I think it might be because the team behind battlefront also make the popular FPS Battlefield and people don't like the fact that a company more known for their explosions than their sci-fi, are 'butchering' their beloved series. After actually playing with Battlefront I can say I enjoyed myself and eagerly await the full release.
Rainbow Six siege:
Next, yet another series that has laid dormant in recent years, First Battlefront now Rainbow six. This time players will find themselves taking control of a special forces operative from a selection of organisations including: the UK's SAS, Russia's Spetsnaz and Frances GIGN to name just a few. Each 'operator' as they're called in the game has unique equipment and weapons to choose from. The equipment is where it gets interesting as the maps in the game are highly destructible. This fact allows players to use breaching charges and other gadgets to make their own path or get the jump on the opposition. I thourougly enjoyed my limited time with the rainbow six siege beta and would reccomend playing the full game to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced tactical shooter.
No Mans Sky:
This game is a bit of a mystery in the gaming world, I'll start with what we do know it's a virtually infinite procedurally generated universe for you to play around in. Technically it's an online game but according to Sean Murray, one of the leading developers on No Mans Sky, the chances of you bumping into another player on your travels are astronomical however it is possible to meet up with friends if you want to. And now we come to the big question, when does it come out? well only the developers at Hello Games have any idea as to a release date, and we can only hope that they can keep their promise of No Mans Sky before the end of 2015.

Destiny:
While I have owned a copy of destiny since it's initial release I stopped playing about a year after it released even though there was still a lot to do in the game. Destiny just kind of lost me after a while. I got tired of doing the same strikes and missions to get that weapon me and my friends were after. But almost a full year after I stopped playing Bungie released Destiny: The Taken King Legendary edition which includes the main game, both the Dark Below and House of Wolves expansion and The Taken King expansion. Around the time of the taken kings release I had wanted to get back into destiny so I bought the taken king and put in the disc and I haven't looked back since. I felt like I was playing for the first time again only without the little nagging annoyances I'd had with the vanilla game. And the fact The Taken King also had a good, enjoyable story with actual cutsenes helped considerably as my main issue with the original game was it's lack of a solid story to back up what was happening.
