Game of the Month...Jan.010...Marvel Ultimate Alliance & Assassins Creed:Bloodlines

Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a masterpiece.Formed of Various
heroes and villians,this game is a beautiful work of art.

The levels are accurately designed, The playable heroes
plentiful, and sound is great.

The only problem is that the loads of dialogue,and the zoomed out view.

and the unlockable characters Silver Surfer, Daredevil, and black panther are hard to get.

Also fun is the choices....

Do you save Jean Grey, or Night Crawler? Which hero do you
sacrifice to save Ghost Rider?

In all its a good game......

Assassins Creed:Bloodlines

Are you waiting to play AC 2? Well hold on!
Bloodlines is the next story with Altair, the assassin Extrodaire.

Taking place after AC 1, you go to cyprus, the last templar stronghold, to finish them off.Another suprise is adding Maria,
the saved Templar from AC 1.

One problem is your hidden blade cannot kill Assassination targets, who now have life-bars, losing AC 1 & 2's magic of easy boss battles.

But its still great.


Both have :

But for which ones better....Its up to you...


Game of the Month...Dec.09...Prototype

Game of the Month...Dec.09...Prototype
Another military expiriment!

Prototype is one of the greatest games I have ever played.Not as good as Assassin's Creed or Halo 3:Odst,
but still really good.

Playing Mutant Shift-Shaper Alex Mercer,you can go around and expore the huge Manhattan Island,consuming(kind of like eating brains.)to take their appearance and memories,to
help you uncover what happened to you and
recover you past life.

The main narritive story line is quick paced and fun, and stepping off of it...
a variety of sub-missions
(Mini-games using a specific power) and Consuming events
(kill the people to help the web of intrigue).

I do like how you don't fight only
certain people,seeing how you fight
other stupider,uglier zombie-like mutants
and a military squad called 'Blackwatch'.
But it does get annoying fighting off
super-strength monsters and getting shot at the same time.
One of my favorite parts is flying and driving.
Helicopters and Tanks are just super fun.
Getting into a helicopter is easy,but the
tank...not so much, seeing that you have to go through an annoying button-mashing game where enemies can either chip away at fire at slowly chipping at your Alex's health, or firing a explosive, while you can't do anything.

If you can get past those few annoyances, it's a great game. Read the full story »

Review...Need 4 Speed: Undercover

The twelfth game in the spectacular racing series, Undercover's story is more
evolved than the other Need4Speeds.This time, your an undercover cop who
street races with the local racing gangs to find a smuggler.
The game controls are a bit clumsy, trying to press accelerate, break, nitrous,
or other buttons, stops you from concentrating.

Photobucket

Personally, I think It gets boring after a while.
Racing over and over and over again!
Really.

The replay is okay, seeing all your races that you can do aren't
finished after you complete the story.
You also can get and upgrade all the cars.

Project Natal


The Project Natal sensor device.

Project Natal is the code name for a "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience" by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 video game platform. Based on an add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360 console, Project Natal enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through a natural user interface using gestures, spoken commands,or presented objects and images. The project is aimed at broadening the Xbox 360's audience beyond its typically hardcore base.Project Natal was first announced on June 1, 2009 at E3 2009. Microsoft said that over a thousand software development kits began shipping to game developers that same day.

Though Microsoft has not officially announced any price or release date projections for Project Natal, it is expected to be released in late 2010.Project Natal will reportedly also serve as the basis for a "new" Xbox 360.


Natal is up against the Wii remote and the new playstation eye.

Game of the Month... Nov. 09 ...Assassin's Creed

[ Monday, October 26, 2009 | 0 comments ]

Many games say they have a 'open world'.
Few accomplish it.But Assassin's Creed is one of those
unique ones.

Staring middle east assassin Altair in 1191,you play in
four huge cities-Acre,Maysaf,Jerusalem,and Damascus-
you have endless possibilities.
The game structure is:
1.Find a look-up point.
2.Save citizens.(They help you later)
3.Do the Eavesdropping jobs.
4.Do the Interrogation jobs.
5.Do the pick-pocketing jobs.
6.Do the Informer jobs.
7.Finally,do the Assassination.

Preview...Assassin's Creed 2

[ Friday, October 23, 2009 | 0 comments ]
'Get ready to Assassinate....again,'

X-box 360/pc/ps3

Photobucket


Date:
November 17, 2009 in North America
November 20, 2009 in Europe

Assassin's Creed 2 takes place in Venice,Italy, in the 1500s.The only playable character is
European nobleman Ezio Auditore da Firenze.At the beginning Ezio is little more than
a pathetic teenager,but as the game progresses,he develops a better personality.



At the beginning,the story reveals that his father,a banker and assassin,was executed with
two other assassins,putting Ezio in control of his family,and seeking revenge on his father.
Now,it might be a used idea,but most games of that sort don't give you plenty of huge cities
that you can go to and do what you want when you want.

Besides a HUGE open world Assassin's Creed 2 has more mission variety than the
first Assassin's Creed.15-16 mission types in the second Assassin's Creed,opposed to
only 5-6 in the first one.


Photobucket
Ezio is the descendant of Altair and ancestor of Desmond Miles.

Historical characters inlude:
Leonardo da Vinci, Niccolò Machiavelli, Caterina Sforza and Lorenzo de' Medici.

Leonardo Da Vinci plays a big role,seeing that he not only sells you weapons,
but you actually get to use his flying machine.Weapon variety is another thing.Besides the
sword you also get two hidden blades,axes,and more.

Game of the Month... Oct. 09 ...Saints Row

This grand-theft-auto type game lets you create a character and explore a huge city as you do activities and missions to help your gang,the third street Saints against the Carnales,Rollerz,and Kings.It's fun at first....but it gets harder towards the end....really hard.Overall its a good game.Taking
cars from random people,shooting,graffiti,and earning hoods
is a great way to kill time.I personally think that only ages 14
and up should play thanks to:Gore and Violence,and major
cursing.

Review...Sonic the Hedgehog

[ Tuesday, October 20, 2009 | 0 comments ]
'Your neighborhood freak-of-nature hero...'
X-Box 360 and Playstation 3

Photobucket


Over the past years,Sonic has gone from a sega original to a disgusting blur of games
who pretty much are the same thing.This 'Original' storyline has a princess,a psychopath,
an obese evil villain,and a dark copy of the hero.I mean really.Oh!I almost forgot!This animal
freak thing called Sonic also falls in love with the princess.Big shocker.This game can hardly
call it's self a game.It makes me sad that Sega's original blue hedgehog has been falling in love with an ugly pea-brained human.I mean really.At one of the last sonic missions,they make you choose who to fall in love with!!!!!Either a princess or an obsessed pink blob....How could it be this stupid!!Impossible!!The music is alright,this being the only sonic game with good music.Funny how the WORST sonic game gets the BEST music ever.I think sega should be
proud.They get the gold trophy for the worst game they ever made!

Sonic's Story is a miserable game with romance and Corny talk.

Photobucket

Also play as: The loser psychopath,Silver ,or the Dark version of sonic,Shadow.

Silver is a raging lunatic who is from a terrible future,is lied to by the villian,
and thinks the hero is the evil person.Very original.

Photobucket

The only good part of this game was Shadow's Story.It's a lighthouse in a sea of darkness.
Driving is fun,and his storyline is not as corny as Sonic's.I think they did more work on
Shadow's than Sonics!They should of deleted Sonic and Silver-the lunatic-,and called it Shadow
the hedgehog 2.

Photobucket

There are four mission types:

-Activities:Talk with villagers and do stupid things like play tag with kids.
-Levels:Go through the magic glass and do some impossible jobs.
-Boss:Fight the two ugly monsters,the psychopath,or a giant robot.
-Runners(Sonic Only....greedy hedgehog):Run at impossible speeds without touching anything.
