Here comes what everybody is calling the ”MW2 Killer.”
Yes, it seems everybody wants to take the title away from Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as the best first person shooter ever to come in the history of video games.
The success of Modern Warfare 2 was so titanic that every single first person shooter that will come after MW2 will forever be unfairly compared to Infinity Ward’s cash cow. EA Dice’s Battlefield: Bad Company 2 isn’t any different and in case you were wondering, no, it’s not the ”MW2 Killer” everybody was counting on.
Don’t get me wrong though, Bad Company 2 is a solid game, no doubt about that. It improves on everything the original established. However, it obviously tries to milk from some elements Modern Warfare 2 excels at. Some can even say that Bad Company 2 is a Modern Warfare 2 clone, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.
Gone are the sandbox elements that made the original stand out from the rest as Battlefield: Bad Company 2 goes for the more straightforward approach, ala Modern Warfare. Thankfully, the destructible elements are still there which made the first game such a blast to play. And thanks to the graphical achievements Battlefield: Bad Company 2 boasts, blasting everything to smithereens has never been this fun.
Remember how Lara Croft redefined women in video games?
Well, we may have encountered the second coming of Lara Croft in this generation, only, she’s a lot sexier, she has a lot more attitude and she has two freaking guns attached to her heels.
Yup, she’s Bayonetta, the sexy witch from Sega’s latest beat-’em-up game and by the way the game looks, it looks like somebody has taken the crown from Lara Croft as the new queen of gaming.
If you can only choose one game to define this generation, then Mass Effect 2 is it.
Words can’t do justice how stunning BioWare’s futuristic role playing game is. The levels you get to play on look incredible, it’s like you’re in a big-budget sci-fi action flick, only you get to decide what’s going to happen next.
And in Mass Effect 2, deciding what happens next is one of the game’s best qualities. You assume the role of Commander Shepard as you make decisions that will alter the universe as we know it. Are you going to be a paragon who will help others in need or are you a renegade who is despised by almost every entity in the galaxy?
Decisions you make in the game will greatly affect how the story in the game ends. It’s role playing at its finest, BioWare did it again.
The latest iteration of the Madden series is already out with Madden NFL 10.
This time, EA Sports has tweaked the game to the point that you could mistake it to a live NFL football game on TV.
Yes, this latest iteration of Madden could be the best Madden NFL game ever made. Not only are the graphics better but EA Sports has also given the game a more TV-like feel to it. From seeing fans outside the stadium flocking the gates to the coaches screaming at their players on the sidelines after a broken play, Madden NFL 10 has successfully recreated everything you see in a football game on TV.
The game even has this weekly show called ”The Extra Point” where NFL Network’s Fran Charles and Alex Flanagan analyze the week’s games and award the best offensive and defensive performances of the week.
Don’t get me wrong, Madden NFL 10 still has its problems…
Still playing the heck out of your copy of Dragon Age: Origins?
Trust me, we’re doing the very same thing too. BioWare is known for their excellent and epic games and their latest fantasy role playing game is a testament to how good they are.
And just when you thought it can’t get any better, it just did. In case you didn’t know, BioWare released two DLCs for Dragon Age: Origins. The first one is The Stone Prisoner which is worth 1200 Microsoft Points while the other one, Warden’s Keep, is worth 560 Microsoft Points.
In Warden’s Keep, players will discover the history of the Grey Wardens and find out why Grey Wardens two centuries ago were expelled from Ferelden. The fortress of the Grey Wardens still remains in a remote location at Soldier’s Peak where players will uncover some of the dark secrets the Grey Wardens of the past have been keeping.
We admit, we never thought this game will turn out to be this good.
With a postapocalyptic setting and a hack and slash gameplay, Darksiders follows the tried and tested formula of other games in the Action Adventure genre.
Games like Fallout 3 and God of War obviously became huge influences to THQ and Vigil Games in the development of the game.
But what separates Darksiders from these equally fantastic games is the way it puts the player right in the middle of the action. While plenty of games are set in post – Apocalyptic wastelands, Darksiders puts the player right in the middle of the action BEFORE the entire world literally falls apart.
You read it, players will participate in the actual end of the world. How sick is that?
It can’t get any better than this folks.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the Xbox 360 – exclusive Gears of War franchise is the finest series ever to hit the gaming world.
And if you ask me, no game has surpassed what the franchise has been able to reach. It’s been over a year since Epic Games followed up on the original and Gears of War 2 certainly didn’t disappoint.
Improving from the original Gears of War back in 2006, Gears of War 2 features a longer storyline for you to immerse yourself in this never ending battle between the Locust Horde and the Gears of War. Players once again take on the role of Marcus Fenix as the fearless leader of Delta Squad rejoins with Dominic Santiago in hopes of finally saving humanity from the Locust.
Gears of War 2 improves the series graphically, thanks to the advancements made on Epic Games’ Unreal Engine, aptly titled Unreal Engine 3. The game boasts all-new, great-looking environments that include Jacinto, humanity’s last bastion of hope, a giant ship and even the belly of a giant worm. (Yes, I’m serious.)
Gears of War 2 also has new multiplayer modes that include…
Black and white never looked this good.
Ever dreamed about driving around the city of Paris before coming home to a brothel full of scantily clad burlesque dancers? Now you can with this latest open world action adventure game from Pandemic Studios and Electronic Arts, The Saboteur.
You are a tough Irishman Sean Devin, looking to avenge the death of your best friend who was killed by a racing rival who turned out to be an officer of the impending Nazi invasion.
The game is set in the 1940s when the Germans were still trying to take over every single piece of land that they can across the globe. However, despite the dreary setting, the old fashioned weaponry and the familiar foe, The Saboteur has very little in common with World War II and that is not necessarily a bad thing.
It’s a fast paced action game that draws you in despite…
