No. There a lot of fun to be had with it but i think that fun will come some time later down the line because right now its just pretty repeditive. Right now there only a hand full of good levels and it just gets borimg relly fast. So to me Little Big Planet just seems more of a buy when its a greatest hit title.

So that leaves me with an open slot now. Do i get Fallout or just wait for wotk to come out  which is now like a month away. Im still not sure. I might even wait for fallout and ask for it as a christmas present. Which leads me to somthing else, dam Christmas is like nearly here. We only got like one month and a half till its here which is not very long at all. Then its 2009 , time just flys bys these days now. I look forward to christmas, Its like the best time of the year. I don't think I even seen a white christmas this year so heres hoping.

                                                                                                                                                              



I also finally Finished Half Life 2 on my 360, I owned the game on PC for like nearly a year or two,  have only just gotten round to finshing it and you know what? that game is really good. I mean on PC there so much u can do with it and even then the gameplay of Half life 2 is great in its own. There always seemed to be somthing new to learn even to the end when you control rebels and such . The story is really good to, voice acting is great and such (even if the main char is a mute) and just the story line. It made me want to read more about the lore and such. There was a lot of things cut from not only Half Life 2 but Half Life 1 as well. Monsters, levels even weapons and all most of this you can play with a mod named missing files. I have started and must be about half way round ep 1 now. But wow I can't wait for ep 3 and even Half life 3.

                                                                                                                                                             

But Half life is now up there as one of best games ever made for me which i guess it should of been anyway. But what the hell is up with Blizzard right now. Here a quote i heard from from The instance podcast when Blizzard were talking about Battlenet at Panal. It went somthing like this " we don't want to make people pay for Battlenet but we might have to somewhere down the line".  that sort of how it went but what the hell.  Not talking about  all the expansion or stand alone stuff (which is bad enought imo) but how the fuck can you justify putting a monthly fee on an RTS. I mean ok an MMO has to kept its servers up 24/7 which means they need money to keep them maintained but an RTS Its a lot different and does not need money to keep them servers up cause they don't stay up. and if you have problems keeping battlenet then change it or get rid of it. I mean I'm not going to pay play starcraft or warcraft online  while i can go play any other and i mean ANY OTHER!!! rts for free. I mean come on. But yeh I'm a fan of blizzard and warcraft ect but talk about money grabbing. I'm not to bothered about this for Starcraft 2 but I'm a big fan of Warcraft and I don't want to pay to play Warcraft 4.



so that got me pretty pissed off but oh well. I guess thats about it for now. nothing else has really gone down I can think about thats important or anything. Oh the big WOW patch is coming which adds a ton of stuff and may finally get my warrior to 70 but apart from that there nothing else to talk about so that do for today

This post relates to: LittleBigPlanet



Don't let this little guy fool you hes been a pain in my ass all day, you see around 4pm Sunday i found out the Little Big Planet Beta started last week and I was like wtf why was i not told. Anywho this week they were giving away 25k beta key (even thought it ends like the end of this week , yeh i know lol).

So  I thought great 25k keys no problem. Well i think so far like 2000 of them are gone already which isn't to bad, but i think hey were looking for like 5000 or 8000  ship. Its just either the websites didn't bother shipping them out till late or died. So my main goal was to get 2 from the main site and 1up but the main site when the finally started giving them out was dead with in 60 seconds so i was like dam. 

1UP wasn't so bad thought. I must of been with in the first 200 or  people to get the question right so I'm expecting my key to show up with in the next day so yay me. Even so this is by far the worst Beta Ive ever try to get into so boo Sony :( .Still the game looks really good tbh, It looks like the best game on the PS3 and I'm pretty sure will meet my expections when i play it. Oh and in my next blog when ever I do it I will tell you what I think about Warhammer

So Its been like what two weeks since i done a blog now or somthing but anyway what i got to talk about. Well lets talk about new games first

                    
So yeh i already own Oblivion but i Sore the goty edition for the PS3 so I decided to pick it up and I really like it. My main problem with the PC version was I could really never find time to try and really get into it but I have now so much I actully finished it. So i was really happy with that. There a few problems I have the first you can notcieable frame drops here and there. But I iwsh i would of seen it for the 360 instead for a number of reasons mainly because there were alot of addons  released for the xbox and PC but never found there way to the PS3 which really sucks ass. So I may even try and get back into the PC version because oblvion is one of them games where each time u start a new its different due to the class you choose or ect. expect this to be my next review.


I don't know why but i just can't get into it like did the the first game it just does'nt feel right. the cam stuff is clunky and infact a really cheap and infact messesd up thing tbh. I mean Take Pester, in the first game you would'nt meet up with him till like lev 30 somthing but in this one i must of meet him like an hour or two in the game. Everything just feels like a big mess and infact like a lot of games that have come out in the last couple of weeks have been to easy on it. Which brings me to a couple of games.

The first being TNA Impact and i don't care what anyone says THIS GAME WAS IN DEVELPOMENT FOR 2 OR 3 YEARS and what they got to show for it Ulitmate X, Yep thats it the X match. Oh yeh there only really two match options a single match , X match or with four guys in the ring. Oh and MP is only  1v 1 , oh and pretty much everyone has the same moves and .... ok you get my point. Im sorry but this is pretty much what they got to show for 2 /3 years of work while WWE has a new game out every 10 months or so granted they could use more time but they pack some good stuff in there. So yeh TNA looks like ass and again has scored way to high everywhere.  Right so thats about it so im going to play some TF2 or somthing now so I catch u guys later.

So its been a a while since I done one of these. Anywho I'm already pissed because Smash Bros will now not work on my Wii so i needed to buy a new copy. Long story short I needed to update the firmware which messed around with the freeload software I have casue my copy import. So I gave it to my bro seeing he never set hes wii up online so he just got a free copy, lucky him.

Anywho I play World of Warcraft and me well I'm a horde because all my friends told me alliance are mean and sucky and dude they right. I made an allie char a couple of weeks back after i meet a friend who  has a few night elfs. And after a few weeks well these guys a jerks , even going nearly as far as to say there like xboxlive people (not that bad but still pretty bad). I just there some shit throwing to be blunt and yes some has been throw at me. I think, well I know its cause my main horde and i put the horde first past alli anyday of the week. Maybe its just this 13 year olds are looking for a fight anywhere they go cause they think they look all call and hard because they talk behind a screen.

Really thought comparing allie to horde I'm so glad my main is a horde because well, I think I would shoot my self if my lev 70 was wasteing away with these jerks while it could be in the land of happy cool horde. K so here my reasons why  i like
  • Most people don't come off a total jerks
  • Most people are not jerks
  • Most people are over the age of 16 and have the own credit card
  • About 85% of horde ive meet are actully helpfull. Really i mean like mosty ever person ive meet always wants to help on the horde. I think its like 10or 15 % on allie
  • U hardy see drama in the horde side. Really there so much bitching behind peoples backs and just to many people trying to start somthing

I think thats about ias much as I can think of. Some of the people ive meet have been nice and actully cool people but theres just to much drama and I find it sad and it makes me a little angry to boot. U see this is the biggest thing im an ok guy and u can say pretty much at lot at me and get away with it (but i will probley just own u back :P) but u either gang up on me or try to start somthing thats where my fuse goes because like most people I don't like people pretty much speaking out there arse at me, Its dumb, childish and well I have a go at you which also happened but i don't think happened when im play on horde side. Maybe its a server thing but ive heard the same thing in a number of different servers now as well and seeing it for myself makes my a sad panda .

I'm a sad panda :(

Really thought Ib just look up sad panda on google and it came up with loads of wow stuff, guess theres a lot of sad pandas out there  in this harsh, cruel world .... of uhh warcraft. Anywho onto some kewl wow talk. WARLOCKS PWN. I played most classes and there just so cool. You see i actully feel I'm getting somewhere with him as well, maybe its cause I hit a major rock on my warrior and cba to lev him, maybe its cause Outland sucks so bad. Eitherway Warlocks are by far the best thing ever. (still have to try mages thought). Also got my Mount for him as well so life is even better. FOR THE HORDE.

Right on to new Games and yep its Soul Calibur 4, yay? Ok Ok Ok when u get down to it SC4 is a fun fighting game, it has some cool gameplay stuff and is actully kind of fun. But it just has this dirty kind aura to it. Its like rumble roses as a game its ok but its just really sleezy and well this is the same.

I mean really the first thing you notice is omg nearly have Female here has very large going on for a dumb fake large breasts. Its not just ivy and taki thought. I think apart from 2 all the females have stupid large breasts. Tbh its not even sexy infact i go Creepy.

Then you have Darth Vader and yoda in the game. Ok here the thing, DARTH VADER IS ALREADY ON THE 360 disk. Someone hacked into the games and unlocked the code, There is actully video of Yoda fighting Darth Vader on the internet. So im guessing Yoda is on the PS3 one to. Now it becomes the case of how they going to give us them. The happy way is to give us the dowload to unlock them for free but do u really see it happening........ So if they cost money i won't buy it as not only is it a rip off, its also a scam.  So I will reivew it sometime but yeh its not looking good......




Uhh what else to talk about . Oh i left work last week. Long story short there only so much a man can take and that man had taken to much. but yeh I'm trying to forget about that. Oh i also brought a couple of old ps1 games off psn and there pretty fun. I downloaded crash team racing which is like 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% times better then mario kart imo. also downloaded other things to.

Oh yeh Justin.tv is pretty cool to. Ive been watching a couple of channels mostly 4 player podcast which is very funny and its better then normally tv as these guys are actully funny. heres a link  http://www.justin.tv/fourplayerpodcast . Check them out for a laugh or even to play some games with them.



Oh yeh to get ready for the Dark night i watched Batman Begains and the Gothem Knight which both totally rock. I'm not a big batman fan be I can understand why people are saying TDK is like the best flim in the last 10 years and tbh I'm looking forward to seeing it so much more. Ahhhh Its funny how much u forget... OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i also brought Fable which is reslly fun to, I taled more about that another time. Anyway im done so bye bye

Dragon Ball makes its way onto the next gen


My relationship with Dragonball games has been a very mixed one. Some I loved and some i hated. This is kind of in the middle. For the msot part its still keeps DBZ feel which I guess you could say is really all it needs to do. On the other hand you wonder if they been a little lazy as well.

Burst Limit takes dragonball back to Budokai routes, This is pretty much that kind of game. If you played dragonball game before then you may already know what to expect. Its simple controls with some powerful beam attacks and that has always and may always be the case. Its also has a few more harder mode of diffculty which is also a nice change so you may not always be running rings around the dude your smacking. There also the modes you expect story, vs, practice , ect. The finally big thing you see is the Drama pieces.

These add the talking parts and such of dbz and also give bonus like increase in somthing or even health increase. Some are kind of long and most get boring after a few times of seeing them but the bets thing is when they chat with each other. You might get two people you u never expect like if your Goku and you have Raditzas a drama Piece, he will shout at you saying somthing like you suck goku, or need a hand and goku will say somthing like shut up. This does'nt work for all char thought.

The graphics are pretty nice but a lot of is just all flash, at the end of the day thought thats what dbz has always been about. pretty attack ect. I mean there not ground breaking but they do look nice. One thing I really like is some of the in game moments, Take the fight in story made betweebngoku and Nappa. They put the famous Its over 9000!!! part in they and its pretty much just as funny watching it on there as in the anime.

The sound is kinda of ok. The intro song is one of the best yet but its the voice acting that really let it down. A lot of it just sounds really poor and hollow but some of it sounds really good to.

I think what let the game down most more then anything is its lack of content compared to the other games. I'm not talking about adding 400 char or so but it would of been nice to a see a few more people in the game like cooler ect. But they even miss out the Cell Jr which paly a pretty big role in the Cell Games. I would of loved to of see them add just a bit more but i guess they saving that stuff for the 2rd game which kind of sucks but hey. But they is a good number of char and such in the end. They was really 1 what if story in brust limit Involing Bardock but it has been by the bar the best What If I've seen yet which was nice.

Brust Limit won't be for everyone but thats ok cause its not made for everyone. Its there for Dbz fans and for people wanting to know more about the show. I still recommend even if you are'nt a fan to at least try it. It may not be best game they put out but its by far not the worst either.

Castle Crashers just falls short due a few bugs and online probs


Ive been really looking forward to Castle Crashers since it was a shown a year or two ago. So now after so long it was finally released to the public about a week ago. The story goes your a Knight with magic powers just danceing untill a dead soilder falls down the stairs. you go to investergate and find out the some guy has stolen a cystal that seems to hold some kind if magic power, also a couple of fair maidens have been kidnapped as well. Its up to you to get the crystals and save the maidens. Its funny because there no voice acting or even like text telling the story. But its done so well that you can understand whats going on. But its funny parts that just really make the story stand. there's loads of funny gags and a lot of humor the makes you laugh so hard sometimes. everything to cutsceens and even the characters just make you giggle as well.

There a couple of gameplay modes all of which can be played online to boot, if you can get it work which is unlikey as most people have been having problems with the online with no real idea when it will be fixed. Its a real drag because this is one of them games that you need to play with four other guys to get the most fun out of it. The game ranges somtimes from not being to hard to pretty dam hard. such as the Corn boss can be a real nightmare the first time you face it if your not stocked up on potions and such while the Ice boss which is a boss later in the game is fairly easy. There aslo a combo system as well but most the time you just be mashing XXX or YYYY a lot. There a load of characters to choose from each with different special moves which is nice as well.

All the art from levels, characters and even things like promo stuff was done by one person which is pretty darn impressive. speaking of the art its all very pretty. Is has a kind of old school feel to as well and the gameplay adds to that feel to. All the characters have the own special attacks as I said and all look very nice a nice deisgned. There music is also really good.

One thing that can get anoying thought is enemy AI . A good example of this is the thief. they basisly spam arrows over and over making it a pain in the ass cause once u get hit by 1 u get hit by 1000 more after.also most enemys will alway move away from u when u try to fight them which can get anoying to.

There a hell of a load of content to the game which vast range or weapons and things called animal orbs which give u a little bonus. At top of that there there a good number of levels to keep you going as well. The Leveling system is nice  and its don't so it does'nt feel like to much of a grind. Apart from the online problems and save bug that some people are having I so recommend you pick this LIve arcade game up because its by far better then anything of there and when they fix the bugs it be even better.

One of the most Wanted games in the last two and heres why!!!


So its Finally out And Ive got my copy and its just great. I completed the singleplayer in 8 hours and that isn't to bad for a fighting game Considering how most other fighting games take to fin this is very good and in that run you unlock mostly all the roster apart from a few people who can't but added till you beat the game. It has a great roster with there own great moves and the Final Smashes are just incredible.

Threre are loads of stuff to collect and many gameplay modes like boss mode and event mode which makes it return. Also the game look amazing and shows that there is something in the little old wii. The create a stage is very simple but very fun and actually you can make something pretty fun if u have a friends over. Speaking of the stages there is a hell of a lot of them. I think there's about around 20 or more in all from different games ones like the Green hill zone from sonic, the Pirate Ship from Zelda Wind Waker and so many others.

There's also a ton of music in Brawl from a wide range of old games which is a nice little touch as well. Of course this Being A nity game most the roster doesn't talk apart from one or two guys so if you looking for some voice acting in your game then you should look else where.

Although the game is by far the best game on the Wii there are a few problems i have with it. One is the balance of characters. Some are really overpowered such as Ike and others are just strange. Take Sonic for example, Sonic is a pretty all round good char but there one major flaw. He has no real KO hitter making it harder for him to win matches that are scored on kills. The singleplayer also at times does get a little repetitive. The finally problem is trying to connect to a public online game. Right now most people are stuck using the friend code system and it still not even easy to set up a game on that.

Even so this by far is the best Wii game you can get and i total recommend you pick it up. There's just so much there to keep you happy. Like most people waiting for this game i was also total miffed by the set backs i mean it was'nt even out over here untill a few weeks ago but i guess apart form the set back in Europe it seems they were all total worth it . This game is just great and yes it has it problems but there so much there and its just fun, a thing which a lot of games don't have nowadays. Now I guess i have to give my hats of to Nintendo on making a good game. Just try sort you dates out better next time.

Best game on the PS3, as simple as that!!!



To put it simply if u have a PS3 then you should get this game. It could be debatable if u should buy a ps3 just for mgs4 but lets not go into that. So to start things off I hated playing mgs1 and 2 , I liked watching them but I found the gameplay just very anoying. But when I started it up I was like Is this a Metal gear game? The gameplay just feel so improved compared to the last games and everything feels like a giant step up from the old ones.

The Level and environment designs look so great and add so much to the game. You start in a war-torn Middle Eastern city. Snake has hooked a ride witha bunch of militia, they don't know who he is so just treat him as another rebal. Anyway your thrown into a thick of battle, get some starting tips , get a AK47 then have to escape from some Gekko ( very fast walkers). after that the game seems to take off. You pretty much got 3 ways of getting from point A to B on a first couple of levels. One is to sneak all around and try and not get seen. two is to help the rebels against the PMCS and 3 is till everything.

I would Personally go for number two and I got the  most enjoyment this way. If you help a rebel by killing a PMC they pretty much let you in to the group and you help them without the PMC knowing who you are most the time. Its a nice way to rack up kills without being caught. It not only makes life more easy its kind of cool know u can fight next to some rebel guy without having to hide as much .

The boss battles are great a well most of the boss battles are you fighting against a group called B&B. There pretty much old  bosses with new skins and there look really cool as well. There backstorys are really good to. Speaking of story let me talk about the voice acting and the actual story next. So First the acting in the game is great apart from a few screens that you just think dude you either can't cry or you need to do what your were doing before because you suck. Most of these moments being from Otacon I may add.

The story is what you expect really, its the final game where there going clear most things up wrap a nice little bow around it and say done and sadly they kind of did that at the end. Anyway I go into that later, the story starts of great your in the middle of a fight between two groups and you have to find Liquid. Few the first level your introduced to many of people from the past games and a couple of new guys who don't really have any big part. You pretty much meet everyone in the first and second levels of the game. After that the story takes some major turns and twists and let me say the screen with Liquid on the boat has to been the best screen I have seen in any game maybe even any movie.

Hand on chest the game also has some super sad moments which Metal Gear has always had but lets just say it like this (SPOILER) I actully felt a little sad when Vamp died who is like one of the most evil people in the game (end spoiler) and stuff like hearing the B&B backstorys on how they became what they became and such. Somthing you notice thought is all the like elite troops are all female, most the bosses are female apart from a few but then Females have always had big roles in MGS I mean even Boss was female. . Its even kind of sad in a way because Snake has been one of the biggest Impacts in games and to see him going out the way it is kinda of sucks, I would rather see him gone out with a bang and i think himself would of wanted the same.


But Lets talk and the cop out of an ending which is one of the reasons it won't get a 5 from me. The ending in this one was to much a happy kind of yay ending. . Also I been on about this before but I wish Snake would of died instead of the way the done it. Someone said the whole thing with Raiden and the wedding would of been made much better if it would of all been happening because of Snakes sacrifice but no it had to be all this happy ending where snakes going to live his finally months and die somwhere.... hated the ending and it just felt like Konami just got lazy towards the end of the game and it just did'nt feel as fun as the start (apart from the rex bit).

But saying that its still a great game and theres nothing better on PS3 in my mind at this moment while the cop out ending will piss a lot of people off and it getting a little easy at the very end compared to the start. Its still sound with some great gameplay, some amazing charaters with loads of deeps and well this is near gaming prefection.

The Dark Crusade brings new life into Dawn of War


Dow was released on September 2004 and a few years on THQ decided to release this. After a rather good first exspaion called Winter Assault this one is even better. Adding two new army's and maps and just making everything better. But Considering the age of the game can it still keep up with others like Age of empires 3 and CNC3?

Ok so gameplay gameplay has changed a bit. The first big change is the addition of The Tau and necron army's. Both have there strength and weakness. While most army's are either fairly good with range and such. The Tau have some of the most powerful range units in the game and can be a very dangerous foe if u go range to range. But heres there biggest weakness what they have in range they lack in amour and melee Infact if not in range And if being attacked by melee your units will be down with in seconds. Still if u have a unit of kroot and some fire warriors u shouldn't have much problems laying waste to anything in your way. One final weakness which Tau has is the fact they have no turrets which can be a problem is trying to defend your base of a location on the map.

The next army is the powerful Necron's. Although they have an overall powerful army they lack one thing which is need to bring there army up, Time!. The Necon's will take the longest to build a strong army but the rewards form waiting are great from the destroyer units to the all mighty Monolith people quake in fear at the Necrons, or call u noob because u can own with them. -_-

But just because they new Races don't think your old favs like the Eldar and Orks are getting left out. Each race gets one new unit some more useful then others like the Daemon Prince and Grey Knights while others arejust ok. There's Also a new campaign to. Going away from telling a story they gone for a now try take over every place you can see. and take out the otherArmy's before they take you out. This Kind of gameplay has been do in other game as well like Lord of the ring and Rome total war, But is still done very well here.

The final part of DC is its online play. While there's been no big change in online Because of the Tau and Necon race there has been a bit of balancing issues. While some of these have been sorted there still some work that does need to be done. Also if u don't own DOW or Winter Assault then you will not be able to play as any other race apart from Tau or Necon Which to me would be a problem but i have all games so its not :D.

The graphics are starting to look a little dated it has to be said but It does still look great and can hold on most systems pretty well. Even thought the graphics are starting to look a little old there still some really good looking effects taking place with in the battle. And the fact u can move the camera to anyposition is great for taking them close up screenshots or vids.

The sound in this game is just great, even thought there no voice acting because there is no story. They still some great sound effects like the screams of units being shot or just riped toshreds.

So is there a lot to keep u happy here but if you want the full value then i would get all the games. The great new is you can get the DOW Anthology pretty cheap and if u want the best that dow has to offer then you need this.

So i highly recommend this game but this one major problem i have with it. Now most people who have routers have some problems joining games. Now to sort this problem out you need to open ports on your router which can be a problem because it allows hijackers to enter your computer few this ports so i can be a risk to play this gameonline so one that one bad note i answer the question i said at the start can this keep up with other games and the fact is it can and infact is better still then a lot of the newer game coming out.

Even thought its remake of Ninja Gaiden its still a great game


One of the first games i wanted to picked up with my ps3 was Sigma and behold a week after getting my ps3 i got it. even thought there have been two other versions of the same game on the xbox it still does'nt show its ages at all.

You play the young Ninja Ryu Hayabusa (also from dead or alive). The story starts with Ryu Invading the Shadow clan ninja fort to pay a vist to his uncle name Muria who is the clan leader soon after thought Information comes that his village (Hayabusa) is under attack and Ryu Quickly returns back to defend it. The reason the Village is getting attacked is because inside it is the Dark Dragon Blade, a Sword of great evil. Ryu makes his way to a small hut where it seem that not only the blade is keeped but his childhood friend Kureha is also there. When he arrives he sees Kureha just befores she dies in a bed of flame. with her killer standing infront of Ryu holding the Dark Dragon Blade. They begian to fight but in the end Ryu is no match and is cut down and left to die. Soon after thought Ryu has recoreved and with the infomation he needs begains his quest to not only find the The Dark Dragon Blade but to get vengeances on the man that lead the attack and killed Kureha, Doku.

There two thing you notice when you start playing, the first is how nice it looks. Looking at the graphical jump its amazing and in HD its just to die for. Anamitions are also just lovely to watch. The next thing you notice is just how hard the game is. When compareing it to other games which have been released in the last few years its a lot more harder. The enemy AI is very good and you find yourself being on the defence a lot.

When not on the defence thought you can create some great feets of sword slashing fun, pulling off great looking combos and just genreal sword fighting is feels great and does'nt get repedetive because of how enemys react to your attacks. Boss fights are also great. The bosses in Ninja Gaiden are some of the hardest bosses in any game and won't give you anytime to sit down in one spot for two long. Even the second boss is a tought fight. Theres also a nice amout of weapons in the game which you collect as you play few and some are for sigma only.

The controls are well throught out and while its not to hard to master the combos its hard to time them right and know when to attack. The levels are very well thought out and look fanstatic to boot. there also little kind of little side quests as well like find the head of a statue and so. These don't really get in the way or anything but i would'nt of missed them if they were left out If there was any problem with the controls. I would say that the camera does tend to get in the way of fight a few times but because your always moving , most the time it can find its way into a good angle so you can start sending dudes flying.

The sound is also Good, the voice acting is of very high standed. Other then that the sound is genreally what you expect from a game. Your sword makes a sound when it hit somthing and the baddies go ow.

The story is also good and the term if somthing not broken why try fix it comes to mind. This is what they done, nothing from Ryu story has been changed and this is good cause we don't really want any stupid major plot twist or crap that were'nt in the game before. Althought there is one small problem with Ninja Gaiden Sigma and thats the fact the some things have been taken it. The biggest one that you notice is that the old Ninja gaiden games that you could unlock in Black are no where to been seen. This is a little anoying if this is meant to be the best out the lot but inclueding Rachel as playable is fun... i guess.

While i could try and find other little problems with the game but i won't due to the fact that what we have here is a good game. Even thought it is the 3rd remake its a good remake at that. Its a first time for all the xbox haters to get there hands on this game and the graphical update and small bonus are nice. So apart from a few small problems, I 100% recomend you pick up Ninja Gadien Sigma

Its keeps all of its colorfulness and charm from the 360, There a


Viva Pinata first came out on the 360 a year or two and a little later found its way to the PC. The PC verison is one of a few titles that actully uses the game of windows features which add all the thing like achievements and so on. Mark my words when i say this just cause the game looks a little kiddy should not turn you away. Viva Pinata is one of the most enjoyable and frustrating games out on the market today.

When you start your giving a patch of land where u have to turn it into a place where these creatures called Pinatas can live. As you progress in the game
more Pinata will turn up looking for a place to stay. To actually get them to stay will require you to do tasks such as have a certain amount of water in your garden or even eating another Pinata. This is where you see how deep Viva Pinata really is. Much of your time willactually be drawn to growing plants and trees and other such tasks in order to get the Pinata. Infact i was pretty surprised that the rating was only a 3+ as there a few things in here that seem maybe a higher rating might have been an idea. As i said thought even thought the is great fun it can get very repetitive at times. trying to get Pinata may require you to do a long process maybe two of three times. Also there a lot of grinding in the game and it does get boring.

Viva Pinata is a stunning looking game due to its art design and its just colorful look. The great part is that its system specs are also quite low as well. The actually Pinata really add to the games look thought. There some fantastic designs, great background and just so colorful the screen is busting with life. Even so at times the graphics due tend to look a little blockly a times.

What to say about the sounds. Well for starters it a has a great intro. Also when you Romance your Pinata each do a different dance with different music which just adds to its colorful andquick feel.

There are major Flaws and bugs thought in the PC verison that really do let it down. And its a case of will it been nice enough to work on my comp with no problems. Even thought it will run on a low spec PC I don't recommend it as there more chance of it lagging like hell or it won't run at all. Even thought I warn for low spec PCs this did happen on mine and it was a pain to fix. I really recommend Viva Pinata but its really a game you have to put a lot of care and time into but this is a game where you will keep coming back. If you have a 360 thought irecommend sticking with that verison due to the temperament of the PC version. All in all its a great colorful but time consuming game that you really do have to a bit quite a bit of effort into but you do feel like you get rewarded for that time and effort which is always a good feeling.
