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 [...]
I am one of the these geeks who isn’t the biggest fan of Star Wars. Sure it is an enjoyable series to watch and the concept of the light saber is damn awesome. But story wise I have defiantly seen better. As for Star Wars games there are very few good ones. Knights of the old republic I have a lot of respect for as an RPG. But one that has always stuck out from the rest was The Force [...]
It is very simple to compare a game like Nintey Nine Nights to the Dynasty Warriors games both the games have the same sort of game play and mission based system. The idea behind these games is to take down armies of soldiers and complete objectives to win a war against your foes. So as you can imagine with these type of games you get a stupid amount of soldiers coming towards you and you have to fight them all [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Mini demo review I have been feeling a little ashamed of myself of late, and as it is game related shame I feel I must confess. As you all probably know I have been writing under the name ‘GuitarGirl24′ for some time now, and recently this has caused me a some conflict. You see though my name was in part chosen merely for my love of guitar solo’s (and I LOVE a good guitar solo) it was also a reference [...]
No, Not He man before you start chanting it. So as you can see the Ghost Busters movie’s are one of my favorites and have been pretty much all through my childhood. So when Xbox LIVE finally got the demo of the game, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the first movie, I had to really jump on that bandwagon. Now this is one of the few game I have deliberately done research on. This is mainly because a film to [...]
When I first booted up the demo I could not help but smile, from the get go you are introduced by metal awesomeness, you are taken to the start screen which is a cover of a Vinyl EP, you know the retro records you used to play on record players, the menu itself is totally made up of this retro metal EP which I thought was a nice touch. Kind of like the menu layout in Guitar Hero 3 but [...]
There is probably a fair few people like me out there who have probably just come out of uni, noticed that the money fund is somewhere beyond zero and they are either playing the games they already have, trading them in or just saving what scraps of cash they find in the sofa to get the next to release. But what happens if you are not sure what to get next? Or you are just so board with your games [...]
As superheros go I never really got into Batman until the movies really. His pointy ears look pretty ridiculous to me, but in all fairness when I saw Tim Burtons; Batman Returns I really started to like him. The film Dark Night of course is THE awesome and from then on the Bat has gone up in my estimation. So when the Arkham Aslyum demo came out on Friday I needed to get my hands on it. That I did [...]
