When I play a game, I am always up for a bit of a challenge. I look at some FPS titles and can’t help but whack the difficulty up to max and count the seconds it takes for me to get totally disemboweled by zombies or space aliens. Even though I do like the challenge I am never that great at it, Games are supposed to be fun at the end of the day, this is why I play them. [...]
It was a fair while ago when MGS: Rising was announced, with the news that it would be the first Metal Gear Solid title to go multi-platform – perhaps due to the amount of Xbox 360 owners who hoped Metal Gear Solid 4 would eventually be ported. However, the announcement didn’t really tell us much at all – just an image of MGS4‘s version of Raiden with the words “Lightning Bolt Action”. It was said the game would be more [...]
I love my manga, besides gaming Manga and anime are next in line in my collection of ridiculously geeky things. I am slowly filling up my shelf with manga books and dvds. The story telling, the style and the awesome amount of over the top combat its truley a great read for any geek such as myself. I am forever coming across titles I havn’t heard of. One of my most recent disscoveries was Fist Of The North Star a [...]
When I first heard about the force unleashed I couldn’t help but be a little skeptical. I mean I am not a huge Star Wars fan and having a 3rd person hack and slash game in the Star Wars universe felt a little generic. So I went and tried the demo for a laugh to see if it was any good. I was hooked, I never thought I would see the day where i would enjoy a Star Wars game [...]
Is everyone sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin… Once upon a time there as a little girl called Little Red Riding Hood. Miss Hood lived in a happy fairy-tale land, and though she stood only knee-high was happy in every way. One sunny day she decided to take a walk with her good friend, the naked emperor. It was so sunny outside that the King even decided not to wear any clothes, but Hood did not mind and so they [...]
Hack ‘n’ slash games for me are a bit yin and yang. There are some absolute gems out there, such as God Of War which execute the gameplay and story well leaving you just wanting more and more. Then there are some that just totally miss the mark of the hack and slash genre, a perfect example of this is the game Ninja Blade, it held the promise to be a great hack ’n’ slash title, but in the end it just flopped with [...]
3rd person action games over the years have been pretty hit or miss. A good couple of hits have been, Max Payne, God Of War and Devil May Cry. Does WET fall in to that category? hmm. You play as a hired gun called Rubi Malone. You are a ruthless, brutal and very skilled woman who loves to get the job done in style. At first you are hired by a Londoner called Trevor Ackers to collect a heart from [...]
A while back I did a taster post on my first impressions of EA’s Dante’s Inferno. The 3rd person hack and slash game, based on the first part of the classic poem which is known as Dante’s Divine Comedy. Back then I had mixed feelings. I mean there is a good collection of Hack and Slash franchises that are out there already. With God Of War, Devil May Cry and even Ninja Gaiden holding their top spots on their proverbial [...]
