Starting out this review with the boldest of bold statements seems fitting for this title so here goes. Uncharted 2 is possibly the best game I have ever played. It seems like a tall order and it is not without its faults but when it comes to modern “next-gen” gaming experiences, this has captured the way I have thought games should be unlike any game on the Xbox 360, Wii or PS3 until now.

The game developer Bioware has created some incredible role playing games in the past so when Dragon Age: Origins was announced fans naturally got excited. With the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series and Mass Effect they created some truly incredible experiences. Dragon Age is no exception.

Released on PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, the RPG is a remarkable piece of storytelling and game play. The enemies are interesting and challenging and the way you interact with the world is truly exceptional.  Unlike most games these days, playing DA isn’t a short 8 hour experience.  This is a massive game and will take over 40 hours to complete.  The result, is highly satisfying and completely depends on the decisions you make as a player along the way.

Strange one, this. Mini Ninjas is, at first glance, clearly aimed at children. Or at least children at heart. Big-eyed characters, cute design. But it was also made by the same guys who did Hitman.

Mini Ninjas is a game that sees you start off as a young ninja, sent out into the world to stop an evil samurai. As you progress on your travels, you’ll meet new friends, learn new skills, explore large areas and do a lot of fighting. All controlling an ever-expanding gang of cute, big-eyed ninjas.

So much has changed since the last trip to the Animus that it’s hard to know where to begin. While Assassin’s Creed may boast that “nothing is true, everything is permitted”, it is certainly true that this sequel feels like a new monster in comparison to its predecessor.

Let’s begin with combat, as that was one of the top complaints of the first game. While there are some foes that can easily be dispatched with a simple counter-attack, many are impervious to that solution. Ezio, Altair’s replacement, is now capable of using a large number of weapons. As you progress through the game you can purchase better swords, hammers or mauls to use as a primary weapon and daggers as a side arm. Each blade has a different set of statistics, so how well they deflect blows away or how quickly you can counter varies from weapon to weapon. As such, early on it may feel as if they game isn’t nearly so responsive as the original. And still each foe seems to have its own way of quickly being dispatched. Continue Reading

I’ve been eyeing on this game for a long time, the English version is finally available. Holy Invasion Of Privacy Badman is a JRPG style strategy game with 2D sprites. The heavily pixelated characters certainly bring back a lot of old school memories.

The “main” objective of the game is pretty simple, all you have to do is defeat the hero or heroes in every stage that venture into your dungeon. That sounds pretty simple right? But things are as straight forward as we progress to more difficult levels. This game really puts heavy emphasis on “food chain”. Basically the monsters you create needs something called nutrients in order to grow stronger and stay alive (as their health diminshes as time goes by). Another way of growing stronger and staying alive is to devour weaker monsters. This is where the game gets a bit more complex to manage because you cannot just create a huge army and think you can beat the levels, you also have to manage your nutrients and monsters.

So I finally gave in, purchased and downloaded Fat Princess off PSN because I’ve been eyeing on this game since it was released. I was excited now that I finally got the game but was it worth it? I have mixed reactions about this game. Definitely not as good as I expected though!

So immediately after downloading and installing Fat Princess, which is basically an action strategy game where there are two sides (red and blue). You can customize your character with different looks and more are unlocked as you progress in the game. The objectives are capturing the princess (capture the flag), death match. There is also a soccer x death match for online as well, this mode is pretty straight forward based on the name. You have 5 classes to choose from – warrior, ranger, healer, dark magician who can drain enemy health and the worker. The workers are necessary, in order to gather wood and minerals to upgrade the different classes’ buildings in order to unlock their upgraded classes. They also responsible for building castle doors and catapults which can launch a group of people to the enemy castle. Continue Reading
