“Man, I was really hyped for this game since the beginning of 2009. The instant I bought a 360 magazine to read while on a plane to Queesland, I read about Bionic Commando, and how kickass it will be. So I waited and waited until it came out, and put it in the 360, and... was actually pretty impressed. I didn't think they could pull it off, but GRIN managed to take a concept like the bionic arm, and make it feel like a working piece of art (or something like that). It ended up feeling natural, and in the end, the entire game felt like a good dream. What I'm pissed off about is the lack of sales this game got, which bankrupted GRIN. I thought this would've taken the world by storm... then again, that's how I felt about some other games, and... well, they didn't. Oh well, it's fun for those who actually went in on the ground floor.
The story takes place 10 years after the NES Bionic Commando (ooh boy, that's a hell of a game). Bionic parts ended up considered outlawed, and those in possession of such ended...”
“[ Introduction ]
Roughly six years after this surprisingly-addicting franchise kicked off did I finally pick up it's third and newest incarnation formatted for the Nintendo Wii console, I'm satisfied enough to clarify. The Animal Crossing series first began on the Nintendo Gamecube back in the beginning of this millennium's decade in 2002 followed by a Nintendo DS-based continuation in 2005 and I was unfortunately preoccupied with other franchises at the time to notice these freshly-entertaining video games in their youth. But now that I've taken the chance to experience Animal Crossing: City Folk in it's entirety for over one year at this point, my regrets are partially diminished and replaced with pleased satisfaction (although I regret that there are some nagging cons that I must bring to light in this review).
[ Storyline ]
Unlike most modern video games today, the story based in Animal Crossing: City Folk is simple yet consistent. You start off by formerly meeting Rover the Cat(one of...”
“This is what gaming used to be. You were sent into a room or a space or whatever, forced to defend yourself against impossible odds. Enemies would be able to dominate you unless you got yourself some skill and fought back. The best thing is that your hand wasn't being constantly held throughout, so you really had to fight back. That's the nature of Ninja Gaiden 2 on the Xbox 360. You really need to bust your balls to stay alive, and that's what I ended up loving about this game. Few problems here and there, but it doesn't stop the game from being a recommended purchase.
You're Ryu, a ninja and the last of the Hayabusa clan. There's an evil force that's determined to destroy the world. The Archfiend, as it's known as, is a stereotypical super powerful demon about to cause chaos and destruction throughout the world. The kicker? He's in another dimension, or some shit like that. Meet the other bad guys - the four Greater Fiends. They have to summon it, or their desire won't come true. Of course, it's up to...”
“One small step for Sackboy.
I was chuffed when I found out they would be making a PSP Version of Little Big Planet, one of my favourite games from the PS3. I could imagine easily how the game would be played on the handheld from Sony. Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed. The game opens up with the 'Introduction' from the Producers, Cambridge Studios and a small mention of Mm thrown in somewhere. What I noticed was how the controls felt against the PS3. They felt a lot more reactive, more sensitive than the bigger brother. I was happy with it, but later on I'll explain how that begun to annoy me. You play a little through the level, and press a button. Here was the cool thing. The Tutorial Videos, again voiced by Stephen Fry, the legend, have a differnet style to that of the game, and it looks very clean.
You keep going a little bit further, and a Sticker switch pops up in front of you, and thats when you realise: "Wait.....there's no right analouge stick!" But never fear! Cambridge cleverly worked...”
“PLOT
The game starts with the Witch Princess and the Harvest Goddess fighting on a beach, they walk off and it cuts to a scene where the Witch Princess is by the sprite tree she says she will make sure the Harvest Goddess never says "Tadaaaaa" again.

Your character than appears and the Witch Princess sends you into the Sprite Tree where you meet two sprites, two down fifty eight to go, if you want to rescue the Harvest Goddess to get married and have a child. You are sent home to fend for yourself. You then have the chance to run a farm and get married, there are 14 potential spouses, if you insert Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town in the GBA slot, nine if you don't....”
“Square once again releases Final Fantasy II for the Playstation Portable. It contains all the elements from the original NES game while implementing new things to make the game much more enjoyable!
I have to say all around, this game is excellent! The sprite and enemy designs are well done for a PSP game. Although a lot of times they use the same graphics for different enemies, there is still a large variety of different enemies in the game to enjoy variety as you play along in the game.
I have to say the soundtrack in this game is really well done. The different boss themes in the game are great as well with the overworld theme. It's definitely a soundtrack I could get an listen to over and over.
The stoyline is nothing to get excited about, but I guess when it came out for the NES at the time, I can't expect super twists and ploys like in Metal Gear Solid, so I guess I can't really complain at all about it. Just don't expect something beyond an evil person taking over the world.
One thing to...”
“iDracula for iPod Touch, or iPhone.
This game is a gothic shoot em up, a lot like Robotron 2084, or Smash TV.
It's quite a complex game, with a few different modes of gameplay, and a few different maps.
And it's published by Chillingo, who have brought out excellence, with games like Minigore and Vector Tanks, and when teamed up with E-Soft Interactive, they published the mighty Earth Day.
The controls in the game are very similar to Robotron 2084's and Smash TV's control system.
Although, instead of using two separate joysticks to control the game, in iDracula, there are two separate circular spinners, both have a gothic style pattern, to match the theme of the game.
The left spinner controls the movement of the character, with the right spinner controlling the weapon fire. The weapons also are auto firing weapons. The game has no fire button. Instead, the player must touch and keep hold of the right spinner, and the weapon will fire, and with all of the weapons being fully semi-automatic,...”
“Well, after 100 hours I thought I'd write my review of this game. I won't write a synopsis of the game, but if you enjoy the Star Wars flavors of different races/classes in a futuristic setting while still maintaining some medieval uses like swords, spears, etc., then you'll enjoy the game's setting.
I'll break it down to the pros and cons of the game
The PROS:
Well, one thing is you get to fully customize your hero of the game, and the cool thing is you get to change ANY part of your character in any part of the game! (Which is good because my character had a high voice at the beginning).
I love the graphic designs on a lot of the weapon which looks cool when you get a new weapon. Some of them even have cool effects when you shoot/swing the weapon at your enemies. The sound effects on the weapons are cool too. Especially the swords which sound like light saber effects when you swing it!
The soundtrack is pretty impressive in this game. Of course if you are playing on a PSP, you might want...”
“If by "the characters are awesome", you mean "the characters are almost-blank slates", then yes. They are. =\ And I'm sure he's perfectly aware of how much work goes into making games. It's just such a shame when all that effort goes into a game that in no way lives up to the series it comes from. (I still maintain that excellent 2D sprites are far more suitable for the DS than poorly done 3D models. Maybe next time, Intelligent Systems?)”
