Scene It? Box Office Smash Review

Scene It? Box Office Smash is the latest sequel in the scene it series. Scene It? Box Office Smash offers enhanced visual graphics. Scene It? Box Office Smash is a trivia or quiz game that has been designed to test your knowledge of blockbuster Hollywood movies. Now there is a huge selection of movies to choose ranging from 1950s to 2008. The online game play is awesome and the puzzles are more improvised. However the game is not without its flaws. The online and offline multiplayer supports only upto four players which could have been improved. But, overall it is a great game. I will give it 8 out of 10. Thumbs UP!

Guitar Hero World Tour Review

Guitar Hero is one of my favorite games. I have been playing it for centuries but, never get bored of it. The game is suitable for all of audiences. Whether you are a grandfather or a child you will love this game. Guitar Hero World Tour was released on Oct 26, 2008 and was hit like its predecessors. Guitar Hero world Tour offers more than 80 songs. You can now sing and even play drums in the game. You can create your own music or songs and share it with your friends. New downloads are always available over the Xbox Live. Guitar Hero allows you to take the role of a guitarist or drummer or even a singer. If you want to take the most out of this game then you should buy the drums and guitar separately. However, you can always play the game with the joystick but, that won’t be fun. Overall Guitar Hero is a great game but, there are not much enhancements in the game and if you have played the previous versions you might not find it very interesting. But, if you haven’t played the previous Guitar Hero games then this is a must buy for you. Overall I will give it 8.0 out of 10.

The Godfather Review

God Father is one of the greatest English movies of all times and the game is a great addition to the movie. You should have seen the movie so there is no need of telling the story over here. I will just talk about the game play. Playing the game feels like playing a character in the movie. There are a lot of challenging and engaging missions that are enough to keep you busy for hours. The combat system is great and a lot of fun. The landscape is huge and there are plenty of places to explore. The map shows a great image of the 1940s New York City. The in game music is also good. However The Godfather is not without its flaws. There are some glitches in the game and the AI is lousy and unpleasant. The frame rate is also not constant and is fickle. Overall it is a great game and it will give you hours of fun gameplay. I will give it 8.5 out of 10.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Review

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is a third person adventure game based on the movie of the same name. The game was released on Jul 22, 2008. In the beginning the game looks good and rich in environment. But, as you progress in the game, issues start arising and the game becomes rubbish. Though the environments are nice and detailed but, it is the only good feature of the game. The combat system is rubbish and the camera view is nasty. The boss battles are dreadful and disgusting. Invisible walls are all over the environment. The story is very short and it will take maximum five hours to complete. Overall it is a poor game and just like most movie games you can not expect much from it. I will give it 3.5 out of 10.

Gears Of War 2 Review

The original Gears of War was the flagship title of Microsoft Xbox 360. It revolutionized the gaming industry initialized a totally whole new genre. Boosting spectacular graphics, incredible camera view and beautiful cinematic, Gears of War was a big hit and it became one of the best games of all time. The second installment of Gears of War was released on November 7 on the Xbox 360 and just like original Gear of War it was a big hit too. GOW 2 offers awesome new environments to explore for the gamers. All new weapons and a new combat system have been introduced in Gears of War 2. Awesome new multiplayer modes and features have also been added in Gears of War 2. However Gears of War 2 is not without its flaws. The vehicle controls are a headache. There are other minor problems but I don’t think they are worth mentioning. Overall it is a great game and whether you have played original GOW or not, you will definitely like this one. I will give it 9.5 out of 10.

Need For Speed Most Wanted

I am fond of racing games and Need For Speed is one of my old time favorite racing game franchise which is owned by EA. Though last few games of Need for Speed have not been very interesting and all of them offered the same game play. But, the older games of the need for speed series were better. Need For Speed Most Wanted is the best in the series. It was the third one since EA started offering the car customization feature in the Need For Speed series. In Most Wanted you have to make your way to the top of the Black List of racers by defeating all the 15 members of the Black List. Before challenging a black list member you will have to impress him by playing different type of races such as sprint, circuit, lap knockout and police chase. There are 3 or 4 cars available in the beginning of the game with no customization options. As you will make your way through the Black List more vehicles and customization options will be unlocked. Overall, it is a great game and you should definitely try it.

Star Wars Unleashed Review

Star Wars is one of the greatest franchises in the history of movies and the Star Wars video games are equally good. Recently Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was released on the Xbox 360 and other platforms and is a satisfying game. The game offers an intense and exciting story and game play. The graphics are beautiful. The combat system great and there are a lot of fighting moves that you can perform in the game. However, Star Wars is not without its flaws. There are a lot of glitches and performance problems in the game. The game play is sort of repetitive. Overall the game is nice and I will give it 7.5 out of 10.

TNA! Impact PS2 Review

I am a huge fan of wrestling and I love to watch it at home with my dad. I love wrestling games as much as I like watching it. These games give you the chance to take control of your favorite wrestler and at the same time beat the wrestler that you dislike most. TNA Impact (game) came out on Sep 09 2008. I didn’t buy it and decided to wait and I am glad that I didn’t buy it because it is not worth it and I didn’t want to waste my 40 dollars. Though there are some good features too but, overall the game is not great. Control scheme is simple and easy to use. The graphics are not very bad either (am talking about ps2). However there are some technical flaws in the game. The sound is not good. Only two players can play in the multiplayer mode. Though all the TNA superstars are available but, there is no character creation. Overall I will give it 6.5 out of ten.

Burnout Paradise Review

Burnout is one of the most famous racing game franchises and it is famous for its car crashes and fast gameplay. Burnout offers a fast and intense action gameplay. The latest installment of Burnout series is Burnout Paradise released in January 2008 and it was a great hit. Burnout paradise is all about racing and wrecking cars. Burnout Paradise offers a free roaming world that gives you the free to go anywhere and destroy anything you want. Burnout paradise is superb in terms of graphics and all the car crashes and blasts look are very fun to look at. Burnout also offers a addictive online multiplayer gameplay where you can race with your friends in different modes. Burnout Paradise was released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC and it is definitely worth playing because it offers a totally different experience and fun gameplay. Overall it is a great game and I will give it 9 out of 10.

Bioshock PS3 Review

Bioshock was released for the Xbox 360 over a year ago. It showed the gamers what they can expect from FPS games. On October 21 2008, it was released for the play station 3. It is a must play game for all those horror FPS lovers. If you have played F.E.A.R then you will definitely like this game too. The game offers highly realistic environments and graphics. The combat system is excellent. There are a lot of options to choose from when it comes to fighting you enemies. Bioshock has an intense story line which is full of twists. The in-game sound is just spectacular. There is a huge arsenal of weapon available; from shotguns to Tommy guns you can get your hands on all of them. In the PS3 version they have also added a harder difficulty mode. This is a must have game for PS3 owners. I will give it 9.5 out of 10.

Fable 2 Review

Fable was a huge success on Xbox. It was selected as the Xbox game of the year 2004. Fable offers a massive magical world that we can explore. We start as a child and as the game progresses we grow up, do jobs, get married, learn magic and fight against evil spirits. Fable 2 came out on the Xbox 360 on October 21 and was a huge success. Fable 2 features a massive world with an extraordinary amount of detail. In Fable 2 you also have a pet dog that helps you in your quests. There are a lot of different quests to choose from. You can either choose the good path or the evil path. The game is extraordinary in terms of graphics and the in-game music is also very good. However there are some problems in Fable 2 too. First of all earning money in the game is very easy. The story is not too deep either. The map is miserably poor and not very useful for navigation. But, overall it is a great game and you should definitely try it out. I will give it 8.7 out of 10.

Little Big Planet

Ever since I saw the first glimpse of this game, I immediately fell in love with it. Little Big Planet is a great game that allows you to create your own 2d levels and characters and play online or offline with your friends. The motto of this game is play, create and share and it stick to it. After playing the game and having an idea of the physics engine you can create your own levels with the easy to use in-game level build and share them online with others. It is a highly imaginative game and it all depends upon your imagination how you play the game. The character that we control is called Sack boy or Sack girl which can be fully customized. You can choose from variety of different costumes and outfits. You can also unlock new outfits that are hidden in the game. The story mode is not too long. There are more than 50 pre-maid levels that you can play but, you can always build your own. The in-game music is excellent and the game has a great replayability. Overall, it is a great game that is a must have for all PS3 owners.

Dungeon Seige2

One of the Awesome RPG’s to play. A Very decent story line is followed which is pretty not predictable and really requires brains and Talent to followup the Whole game.
It Keeps you busy with interesting Secondary Quests if you ever get board with the Main story line. No Time Limit Maps so its very convenient in FINISHING the Levels.
Only after finishing the Game in Level 1 one Gets to Play against Higher Difficulty which is a Bit Annoying. so, if you ever think of making a challenging Game, you need to finish the whole game on Level 1 then Proceed to Level 2 and then try the Ultimate Veteran Difficulty.
Graphics are Pretty Smooth Even on Pentium4’s Core not too Bulky.

Confusion on GTA

GTA Grand Theft Auto is a Series Engine Gameplay. Many people get confused and go on Renaming the Games as GTA I, GTA 2 GTA3 GTA4 for SA and then 5 for the updated mod and so on.

Well the Sequence is somewhat like this.
GTA3 has a Same core and the first game out was Liberty City with not so Good Graphics and Rendering and it was of course old tolday.
then Comes Vice city, this one is GTA 3b not GTA IV!!!
after Vice city Comes San Andreas (ONE OF THE BEST PLAYED TILL today with lots of New MODS and stuff)

and this year in 2008 comes GTA IV and is Available only for PS3 and Xbox360.
So next time Please rember the Naming Fashion.

F.E.A.R

One of the Most Amazing First person Shooters.
Till today because of its complexity, its Engines are used to test, Dog FIGHT Graphic Cards. With a Really Magnificent Shader and Volumetric Lighting effects this one really requires a beast to run on.

The Story line is Pretty Predictable in between giving it a nice Gothic and not so Pleasing Moments. One really needs to play this game with a nice Sound system on a BIG Screen, It Scares … out of you.
Towards the end, the Game follows some annoying sequences, Going up a roof -> the Roof Collapses and then a Tunnel, then Out and then Back to a Building and the Same sequence.

Overall i Give the game a 8/10.!!!

Fifa 09

There are many football games out there but, two of them are most famous. First one is Fifa and the other is Pro Evolution Soccer. Fifa is owned by EA Sports and Konami is the developer of PES. PES used to be better than Fifa few years ago. But, now Fifa has improved a lot in the recent titles. One major reason for this is that EA is a rich company and it has a larger fan base while on the other hand Konami is not such a big company. The latest sequel of Fifa, Fifa 09, was released few days ago and it has already sold 1.2 million copies in Europe during its first week. Fifa was released on all the nextgen consoles with Xbox 360 and PS3 sharing the same version of the game, while Wii version offers different gameplay and graphics based on its, since it has different type of controllers and it is not capable of playing next generation graphics. One major feature in Fifa 09 is the Adidas Live session. Addidas Live Session allows you to update the status of your player and team based on the real world. This means that if Cristiano Ronaldo is not performing well in the real world then his status will also drop in the game. That sounds interesting. So, if you are a major football fan then I would suggest that you definitely play this game.

Yakuza 2

Yakuza 2 is an action adventure which will give you 20 hours of exciting gameplay. The game allows you to take control Kazuma Kiryu who is the hero of Yakuza. However, it is not necessary that you play the previous game to get your hands on this one. The game offers an engaging story line that will keep you glued to you seats as you progress in the game. The game offers a huge variety of different combos. There is a heat guage which will rise as you when you beat your opponents. Once it rises to the top you will be able to perform special moves. Overall it is a good game that will give you hours of fun. The game was released on September 9, 2008.

Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway

I am a huge fan of shooting games and specially FPS games. Hell’s Highway , the latest in the Brothers in Arms series, came out on September 23 and i was able to get my hands on this one on 24th. Hell’s Highway consists of all the qualities that were present in its previous Brothers in Arms titles with beautiful scenery and fast paced and exciting action. Hell’s Highway allows you to take the role of Sergeant Matt Baker and gives you the chance to become a leader of a squad. Though the squad will fight along with you, but you too have to deliver your performance and take care of your squad. There is a wide variety of weapons to choose from machine guns to bazookas. Overall i think its a great FPS game. I will give it 8 out of 10.

GTA: The Best Game Series

I am a huge fan of the Rockstar’s GTA series and i have played almost all the game of this series. Be it GTA 3, GTA vice city or San Andreas i have played all of them. Ever since the GTA 3 came out it revolutionized the gaming world. And it changed the way the people used to think about gaming. Since then it turned into a new genre. Many other companies tried to copy the idea but non of them succeeded. There are alot of other games out there trying to copy the idea that Rockstar introduced. But, according to my opinion, non of them stands in competition with the GTA series. The GTA games allows you to take the role of a gangster and gives you the chance to experience the life of a gangster. GTA 3 allowed you to drive cars, boats and other such vehicles. With further advancements Gta vice city allowed you to drive even bikes and airplanes and helicopters. Gta San Andreas offers an even massive variety of vehicles. So far it is the best video game series that i have ever played. Write now i am playing GTA 4 and i will soon write a review of that game.

Pure, off road quad game

Pure, which is an off road game for the Xbox 360 developped by Black Rock Studio, is a game which proposes you to drive a quad. Black Rock Studio has experience in this domain so we can hope that the game will have a lot of fun. Not only the game will try to seduce the players with his arcade mode but also by the fact you can do spectacular actions with your quad.

I played the game during an exhibition and i was quite impressed. After i was able to play in the house of one of my friends and i can tell you that Pure impresses a lot. Not only for his good realisation, the driving is very impressive since it gives a very good sensation but unfortunately i will prefer a little more circuits to extend the playing.

Old game, still scares the crap out of me: Alien vs. Predator

Remember that time before it was all about photo-realistic graphics, cinematic special effects, life-like physics? This is a game from that time, but it sets itself apart by actually excelling in the areas just listed, albeit with slightly subdued adjectives.

Alien vs. Predator (Gold) is the first in a series of FPS games and was revolutionary in the detail and quality it displayed. Despite the now outdated graphics, the sheer atmosphere created sets you in the centre of the Alien, Predator, Human conflict. You simply cannot go wrong when DARKNESS is the essential style element. Slipping into the role of any of the species, each with their abilities faithfully recreated, you stumble into convoluted bases and caverns, always anticipating to have your skull torn off by the next enemy. This game is scary, you are always on edge, the encounters are not preprogrammed, so you cannot just hide somewhere and destroy until they stop coming. No, you have to push forward, realize that you are vastly outnumbered, and survive.

The game is so well thought of that even the fish-eye vision and their ability to walk on walls is recreated. Strategically sophisticated players can even shoot out lights to disorient enemies as you lay in ambush.

Where the game especially shines is in multiplayer mode. There is nothing more fun than turning on your heat vision as a Predator, and destroying pesky humans limb by limb, especially if your helpless buddies are those humans.

This game can be found for mere cents in an used games store. I strongly recommend it.

Detective Games

A post on VGViews compares old mystery games (Laura Bow) with new mystery games (Nick Bounty). The Nick Bounty games stack up very well, and the reasons are interesting.

One of the problems with Laura Bow, and with Sierra games in general, was the many ways to accidentally kill yourself. Getting into the elevator? Oh, sorry, you didn’t say you checked to see if it was on your floor. You fall down the elevator shaft and die. Crossing the road? You’re hit by a bus and die. Petting a cat? You contract a particularly virulent strain of rabies and die. Eating some candy? Well, you get the picture.

…

A few days ago, I discovered the Nick Bounty mysteries, flash games(or free downloads) from the independant Pinhead Games company. The first mystery is called “A Case Of The Crabs” and the second “The Goat In The Gray Fedora”, which gives you an idea of the seriousness. (I think Laura’s boyfriend in one story was a dockworker called Steve Door)

Nick Bounty is a bit more campy, with black-and-white sketch graphics, and sarcastic comments and narration, imitating hardboiled detective novels.

Lost Odyssey

I recently purchased the game Lost Odyssey. I was very unsure of this game to begin with. I went into the store with every intention of purchasing Oblivion… or another game that I saw that might catch my eye, but I was talked into getting Lost Odyssey. I had looked at the game previously and played the demo, but it didn’t stike me as something that I would really enjoy.
I started playing the game and after about 2 hours I started thinking about taking the game back. I then got to the first “dream sequence” and I was instantly hooked from then on out. After that dream sequence you proceed to run around the town for awhile and then the real game starts and the game picks up really really well. I had no second thoughts about the game from then on out.
I wanted to write this article so that I could tell everyone that was thinking about buying this game that it is a very good game. I am not a fan of turn-based RPG’s, but I really am enjoying this one, I am already onto the second disc and loving every minute!!

Zelda: A Link to the Past

Zelda: A Link to the Past is one of the great classic SNES games in the Zelda series. The third installment in the “Legend of Zelda” series, it was released in North America in 1991. Though many games at that time were coming out with the now popular “Third Person” 3d perspective, this Zelda installment stayed with the favorite “Birds Eye” top down perspective that had worked for it so far. The battle system stays true as well, your sword and shield being all you ever need.

The game play is very similar to the other Link installments made before this, the only thing that’s changed is that the graphics got a bit prettier, the bosses got far more dangerous, and the world and storyline is much more involved.

I’ve played and re-played this game so many times, but it still offers challenges and pleasant surprises for me.

If you’re looking for this game to play again (and you don’t want to visit eBay and dig out your old SNES), it was re-released again recently for the Game Boy Advanced in a dual-game cartridge with The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords.

Graphics: 4 (could have used a bit more work, they’re a bit jumpy sometimes)
Sound: 3 (music is still the same, but still wonderful)
Gameplay: 5 (always fun, always challenging)
Storyline: 4 (surprisingly deep for a Zelda game)

(Note: All ratings are on a 1-5 basis, with 5 being the highest)
