Considering the premise of Asura’s Wrath, in which players take the reigns of the demigod Asura as he battles gods in angry revenge, it set itself a high bar to meet in terms of expectations. Dubbed by gamers as a potential “God of War-beater” in terms of epic battles, I was excited to see what Capcom and CyberConnect2′s game had to offer in its demo (out today on Xbox, tomorrow on PS3), seeing as over-the-top action games are among my [...]
This past weekend I had the opportunity to steal Leon’s PS3 for a few hours, and during that time I got to play hours or God Of War III as well as try out the new Mortal Kombat demo before the majority of Xbox 360 only gamers (such as myself) could. So, is the new MK game going to be a must-buy for any retro MK fan? Well, you’re about to find out. I don’t know about anyone else, but [...]
Gamers now-a-days are a pretty skint bunch of people. But don’t fret as the lovely people at X Box LIVE like to give you trial’s of games. These trials give you some play time and some are worth more time than others. Luckily Plants Vs Zombies is one of those trials that is worth downloading. So what is Plants Vs Zombies? It is a game that I really didn’t expect. Another title by Pop Cap games, the people behind the, [...]
3rd person shooters are a mixed bag with me. I love Max Payne possible one of the greatest 3rd person shooters there is. I have tried my hand at Gears Of War and I really did get into it. Thing was I lost all my save data mid way through 1 and couldn’t be bothered to start again. (I must pick that up again some time) but there are some just some 3rd person shooters that don’t cut the mustard [...]
Mini Demo Reviews The long hot summer is officially here and aside from E3 not a lot has been catching my attention recently. Perhaps the lack of exciting new games is a ploy by the ice-cream men to make us all go outside and see some real sunlight. Or maybe all of the developers just thought “Sod it, its too hot! Lets go to a water park…” and have left their respective offices in search of summer merriment. I suppose [...]
First impressions Well its been three days since the MCM expo now and I think its due time for my first expo related post. This years Expo was a busy one, with a truly epic turnout larger than any previous expo. With a crowd over 40,000 strong it was surprising that we were able to battle through the crowds to get our hands on what the game section had to offer, however with true drive and dedication we fought on [...]
The last couple of days, I have been making the most of my Xbox LIVE 48 hour Gold Trial. Every chance I have had I have been playing the Halo: Reach Beta. And am I disappointed? Hell no! Lets just cut to the chase here and dive straight into what the Beta has to offer, Now as you all well know I was only on a LIVE play trial, not a gold account, this means I could not play in [...]
There is only a select few sandbox games that have hit a mark with me. Grand theft auto (obviously) and Crackdown. Things like Saints Row and true crime haven’t really done it for me. Ok I admit I haven’t played enough Infamouse to justify saying its a worthy sandbox title so I’ll just leave that one on the fence with prototype for now. Yesterday I got my gaming mitts on Just Cause 2. I had seen a trailer on this [...]
