Graphics: 9 Music: 5 Story: 7 Control: 9 Difficulty: 8 Gameplay: 8 Level design: 6 This game feels a lot like Gears of war and it isn't a bad thing. There's a covert system that works really good, controls are responsive, graphics are top-notch [for the moment when it was released], the music is there just to occasionally notice it and the levels are OK. What's important about this game is that throwing the glaive…
--- This is a a flash review that I originally wrote as comment so there will be no differentiated scores nor average total --- I think Fable II was really good and it left me looking forward to this one. Now I'm not really looking forward to the next one because of Fable III's shortcomings: - it's short - the fighting mechanics have devolved because they force to switch between weapon and magic mode [with mouse and…
Wipeout 3 is still ahead of its time and I keep wondering how Psygnosis managed to give it the terrific graphical quality it bears for it is a 32 bit era tittle that looks as though it was designed to run on a 128 bit console. The game is quite speedy and smooth, there are enough lightening and translucid effects to please any FX fun and has some little details that help improve the overall visual experience such as…
To begin with let me tell you the following: I played both the Xbox and PC versions and I can tell you, must tell you to get a 360 controller for your PC to play it. Mass Effect has been designed to be controlled with a game pad. The game looks fantastic; I got it running at 1280x768 px in full-screen mode —all settings in medium and no dynamic shadows— on a AMD Phenom II X4 920 at 2.80 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and a…
My reviews are really complex but since this game is good but not enough important to give it a full analysis, I'll give you a quick panorama on it. There are not many stealth-genre games for the Gamecube, not even on the Wii, and this is one is fine. In MI: Operation Surma we play the role of Ethan Hunt, secret agent, no Martinis. Ethan must go after a hacker that crated the most advanced computer worm ever and it…
My reviews are really complex but since this game is good but not enough important to give it a full analysis, I'll give a quick panorama on it. Graphics: it was released in 2006 so it already has four years of life by now. They look good, nice explosions, great looking weapons [except the halo-covenant-like grenade pistol], it also has really nice forest maps. Textures aren't so nice and 3D character models…
This game pack is a bit difficult to review because of its contents. There should be a main area of focus to consider above all the others and for me it is Half-Life 2. Half-Life didn't interest me the first time I played it since I got bored of going forwards opening doors and shooting alien crabs. I got so bored that I never finished it. Half-Life 2 doesn't fall too far away from the first game's tree either.…
Well, here you'll have more than one. Examples of good X-Men games: *X-Men Arcade *X-Men Mutant Academy *X-men Legends 1 *X-Men Legends 2 *X-Men Rise of the Imperfects **Even X-Men: the official game Examples of bad X-Men games: *X-Men: Destiny *X-Men: Destiny *X-Men: Destiny *X-Men: Destiny Even **X-Men: Destiny, which has blocky graphics, repetitive gameplay, no facial animation, cookie-cut dialogues, chopped…
This game is a golem, a still one, because it takes the continent form [body] of Golden Eye but none of its containings [spirit]: it's semantically empty. To begin with, do not worry about the cut-scenes because they are minimal as some other site's review complained about their length and unavoidability, I thought it was important to highlight this; in fact, if players didn't watch the film, they will not…
This game feels a lot like Gears of war and it isn't a bad thing. There's a covert system that works really good, controls are responsive, graphics are top-notch [for the moment when it was released], the music is there just to occasionally notice it and the levels are OK. What's important about this game is that throwing the glaive is fun, a lot of fun and it can lead to unlocking several achievements and even…
Graphics 9: they look really good, even for an already aged game, the engine is quite capable of withstanding everything on-screen with a nice fluidity. Art 6.5: although nice, it isn't mind blowing. Despite different several stages, in opposition to DMC 3, it doesn't feel varied nor rich. Sound 6: the little music that it has is nice but little. Sounds seem crystal clear, you can definitely tell that CapCom used…
Graphics: 9 Note: it must be 3/5 stars not 4 but I can't change it Music: 5 Story: 7 Control: 9 Difficulty: 8 Gameplay: 8 Level design: 6 This game feels a lot like Gears of war and it isn't a bad thing.

Graphics: 8.5 Music: 9 Story: 8.5 Control: 7 Gameplay: 9 Level design: 10 Psychonauts really amazed me. It is a really crazy and cool game to play. I'm not going to spoil much of the story but we have to control a kid that goes to a summer camp for psychics and discovers a plot to take control of people's brains... the funny part is that it will not happen by brainwashing, no, no, no. The gameplay involves the usual…
