I may use this font for the front cover of my magazine
or for just the title as on the front cover is going to be
an image from halo which is sci-fi and also because it
fits well with aesthetic of gaming as it look very techy
which is used to represent games in media as most
product adverts give a tech or sci-fi vibe which this
font fits.
However I may use this font for the main title
of the front cover as this font seems very
enticing to the eye meaning it may draw the
attention of a reader but still stick to the
theme of tech and sci-fi
One image style I may use in
my final magazine product is
that of a cartoon image style
where poses and characters
can be exaggerated with the
expressions and body
proportions which allows for
more creative freedom.
However another image style I may use in my final
magazine product is that of photo realism where a
game or animation tries to be the closest to looking like
real life by having the characters have real life
proportions and size.

3. Style sheet
I may use this type of
colour scheme for my
final product as it uses
brighter colour
allowing for more
creative freedom
which is my kind of
style when making
something.
However I may use this type of colour
scheme as I uses more muted colours
which most other magazine use so it
may best to use the colours scheme
that is most used for the best results.

From nothing to something is a story many can tell you from the game theorist to the jack septic eyes many people have found
their calling for video gams reviews lets play an speculation we find ourselves interviewing the next member to join this family
his name masteracher 117 with his channel masterarchers gaming reviews and lets plays in which he dose a lets play of a game
and then soon after reviews it from the perspective of a reviewer. With all of this we asked hi e most important question what's
it like being a reviewer and how dose it feel to get the recognition your getting. But also have you had help with your success.
Well to answer the first question it feel great as I have been told throughout my life I'm a
very opinionated person but it can feel stressful some time as we all know dead line can
be a pain as I'm having to record the game d my lets play of it then after finishing that I
have to then to the best of ability's get out a review having it touch on every aspect of the
game like story gameplay controls graphic but at the end of it all it’s worth it as long as
other can enjoy my work
And to answer the second question it feels great o get such recognition from so many people and I owe all of that to the fan
and I couldn't thank them enough as they’ve allowed me and my channel to become something greater than I could have ever
imagined.
And finally yes I have had help from my mum who did camera work for recording the machinimas for the reviews I do and it
thanks to her that I can get the footage I need for the review and get it into adobe premier and make a review and lets play video
What a ride as now the most recent review to come from the mind
of this small to big reviewer what may be his longest review yet as
he’ll be doing a review of spyro the reignited trilogy which has all
three original spyro game remastered for today as he’ll be doing one
game each reviewing them individually and then coming to a
conclusion based on all three game to decide
wither the game stands proud among its predecessors.
The new reviewer on the blockTo infinity and beyond
From its humble beginnings back in 2001 up to now the halo series has had quite the
legacy both with it original creators bungie studios and its new developer 343 industries
it’s highs and it low’s its been a crazy 18 years starting with one guy in a suit of power
armour to a franchise with so many loveable character and lore all thanks to the
dedicated fan base that have kept this series from falling into obscurity it seems there’s
no way of stopping this huge franchise to have it go into the howling dark and never
return just yet. Which bring us to it’s next chapter in gaming history with halo infinite the
next chapter in the halo story and game from 343 studios and to help you get hyped for
the next chapter in one of gaming most iconic first person shooter we managed to sit
down with two special guest and have them give their though on the next chapter in the
halo stories both bonnie ross head of 343 industries and Steve downs the voice of master
chief himself.
We here at 343 industries have been honoured to work with such an
iconic and even thou we have had missteps and fans have disagreed with
some things we have done especially with art style changes we made
with our first halo game halo 4 we now feel confident enough now that
we know what will work and what won’t work to make a halo game that
will truly please fans as now we are bringing the series back to its roots
Its been quite a journey as you never expect yourself to be voicing a
character for so many years and I has been a great experience as I can take
pride in knowing that my character inspires other to do great things I have
enjoyed every step of the way with chief just being a stoic badass with
bungie to exploring his more human side with 343 I feel that chief has had
quit the emotional journey especially after the death and of his close
were it all started on a halo ring giving player a sense of awe and mystery but continuing
the story we are telling now.
companion Cortana and the emotional hard ship that has come from it but now with the
evil fragmented pieces that came together to form this evil Cortana that now rules the
galaxy its time for chief to move on dust off his assault rifles SMG’s and pistol and finish this
fight.
Inspiring words with all that in mind we here at XPGAMING magazine we find all the
information we can to let you know what to expect from upcoming games and here's what
we know so far the customisation system is getting a major rehal from halo 5 as halo infinites
will be like halo reaches with player able to customise every aspect of their character helmet
chest, shoulders, wrists, leg and visor unlike halo 5 in which you could only pick a helmet and
armour set and visor and that was it another thing we found out that we think many fan will
love is this duel wielding it’s coming back nuff said
