As our Eurogamer Expo 2010 coverage dies down, I’m finishing off by covering four more games I covered; Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Killzone 3 (3D) and Kirby’s Epic Yarn. Another long post, but necessary to cover all the games without dragging out the coverage. Hope you enjoy this, and that you enjoyed the coverage of the 2010 Eurogamer Expo! Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood.
Assassin’s Creed II was a hugely enjoyable game for me – one of the best sandbox style titles I’ve played. Unlike it’s predecessor, the game was chock full of things to do and places to see – taking the original concept and melding it into something vastly more exciting. Truth be told, I’ve still yet to get the DLC, since I’d long since stopped playing since it’s release – but I could quite happily say I was satisfied with my purchase [...]
Castle Crashers + Streets Of Rage = A beat ‘em up to rival them all Back on the Sega Mega-Drive, one of my favorite games I would play constantly was Streets Of Rage 2. For some reason 1 and 3 didn’t compare to the second outing of thug bashing. Plus there was a kid on roller blades who I thought was awesome. So I started off playing beat ‘em ups, a side from the classic FPS games which I don’t [...]
I have been a massive fan of comic books ever sence I layed my hands on my very own copy of the collector’s edition of Spawn Creation. Ok so I was a late comic book reader, kind of favouring the graphic novel side of things more than the marvel comic books. But then I got into Manga and that kind of changed. If you walk into my flat you will see half a shelf engulfed with manga books and graphic [...]
I have been playing Assassin’s Creed II for the most part of the last week – having received it for Christmas alongside my copy of Dragonball: Raging Blast. Although I haven’t yet finished the game, I feel it’s time I wrote down my thoughts of the second installment regarding the story of the battle of Assassin’s and Templars. The original title was a bit of a mixed bag, with a general feeling of uncertainty around a lot of gamers. On one hand, the concept [...]
and I really hope they make it…. I suppose my title really says it all. It is customary to save the best until last, but as I have never been one for tradition I now bring you my Expo experience of Rabbids go home on the Wii. I must say at this point that I only had a very limited amount of time to play this game, so these are just initial thoughts. Rabbids, if your out there, please don’t [...]
The first Assassin’s Creed was a title I had mixed reactions about – the game boasted impressive graphics and complex climbing animations, alongside a brilliant concept and some clever mechanics. However, after playing it for a while, I couldn’t help but feel the game lacked variety, with its repetitive missions, easy combat and basic objectives – in a way it felt as though the game’s engine was more advanced than its actual gameplay. Although it was enjoyable in many ways, it had [...]
The original Red Steel was released alongside the launch of the Wii, and although it got mixed reception, I thoroughly enjoyed it – it wasn’t perfect, but its use of Wii-mote controlled FPS gameplay, mixed with some semi-decent katana fights was enjoyable – and the game had some really memorable moments, such as the scary fairground level. Seeing as the title felt like one that had a lot of potential with some tweaking, I was eager to give Red Steel 2 a [...]
