Maximum Game
By ZeroCast 6 Comments
Thirteen days have passed since the beginning of November and up until now two of the most anticipated sequels have been released; they are the inevitable Gears of war 2 and Resistance 2.
Now if you haven't beaten Gears of war 2 already, and I'm sure you did, this game has received a warm 94% ratio on Gamerankings thus making it number 5 on the top rated games of 08 also selling 2.1 Million copies in its first week of release which was expected from a game of its standards, fans of the original Gears must have been waiting for the sequel and let’s just say they won't be disappointed, the only question that remains is: Will the 2nd Gears beat the sales of its predecessor? I guess we will have to wait to find out.
R2 on the other hand is apparently not what everyone expected, specially the Single player portion of the game, it has been described by Vinny's review as having a "horrible and rubbish single-player campaign" but the game happens to stand out when it comes to the Multiplayer, he said:"...a unique and rewarding Multiplayer shooter experience...", Resistance 2 has received an average ratio of 88% which is not a bad thing in anyway, and it's definitely a must get if you're a PS3 owner.
World At War
Yesterday also marked the release of Call Of Duty:World At War, this is undoubtedly a game I was looking forward to specially after the great success of Modern Warfare, some people who played the beta thought this is identical to COD4 with just a cover change and a WWII theme all over it, others said it packs new stuff to make it worth the wait.
From my perspective, I asked myself the following question: what's not to like about a game based on the COD4 engine? At its core, this is WWII being done under the cover of Modern Warfare, people who loved the 4th installment and now say "I won't play this game just because it's a WWII First Person Shooter" just doesn't make sense to me, this is an amazing game and it's pretty much equivalent to the intense battles of the original COD's but now it’s redone for even a better experience packed with all the greatness of COD4 within it.
Mirror's Edge
Oh yes, Mirror's Edge, when I first heard about this game I wasn't really sure what to think, will this be another great DICE game or will it be a run-of-the-mill FPS action adventure? Well, let’s just say it turned out to be a good game with good ideas but with stumbles along the way, doing parkour moves in first person view definitely looks intense and adrenaline pumping but when it comes to gun combat the game doesn’t seem to grasp the good feel of a weapon and might end up unsatisfactory for some people.
The visual side of the game looks absolutely crisp, clean and bursting with life, DICE has made a fantastic use of the UT3 engine adding a new light system of its own which gives the game a great realistic and brightly colored visual style.
November is not over and lots of games are yet to come, the next 5 days will be jam-packed with all kinds of games ranging from JRPGs to Street Racing, one can only hope he could buy all these great games and play them after a long wait.
