Gatling Gears Review

Gatling Gears is an exciting shooter that everyone will enjoy, from kindergarten kids to 59 yr old gamers. You pilot your ship through a mayhem of enemies and the shooting never stops. Bullets are flying everywhere and you have to try hard not to get hit. Enemy units will be swarming around you and your little ship is all that stands in the way of them destroying Mistbound, a world you swore to protect.

Vanguard Games designed this awesome game and done a pretty good job. You play a character called Max Brawley. In the co-op mode, his niece is his team mate and together they form a terrible duo. A hostile empire wants to annihilate Mistbound and they are depending on you to stop the evil invaders. You will use a dual stick to combat the enemy.

The left stick controls the gears and the right one fires your gun. The triggers on the left and right can fire a grenade launcher or a missile at a long range target. You will need long range weapons more often than you may think necessary. The ammunition will be replenished after you fire. The controls are not smooth and you will find it a bit awkward to use. They may not respond instantly and you'll be praying each time you use them.

This becomes a real problem when you're in the thick of it and your weapons aren't exactly behaving. Fortunately, the game isn't all that difficult to play. It may be a little hard but you are bound to finish the game in about 5 hours or so.

You collect money and use it to upgrade your weapons. There are plenty of gold bars to collect and by the end of the game you will have so much money, you won't know what to do with it. At least you won't be short of weapons with all that cash on hand.

The graphics are beautiful. Vanguard Games done an excellent job in the graphics department and the beautiful scenes will have you marvel at each level. This will encourage you to continue to the next level and the next and so on. You will cross deserts, forests, marshlands and many other terrains, each more exciting than the last and all of them have such marvelous scenery you will feel a kind of regret when you finish that level.

You can always change the difficulty level if you find the game too easy. If you re-play the game several times it will be more challenging to play on a higher difficulty level to enhance your experience.

All the characters have special attacks they can use and this adds another twist to the game. The music is lovely and blends in with the scenery and the action taking place. Whether you are fighting or simply cruising along, the music will put you in the mood of being in a faraway land of make belief and you won't want to return in a hurry.

Regardless of which mode you play, co-op or single player, Gatling Gears will provide long hours of entertainment and you will surely want to play it again after you finish the game.

Catherine PlayStation 3 Review

Catherine is a game like no other and doesn't fit into any genre. The plot is bizarre and so unusual it can lead to nightmares and sleepless nights for many gamers. It is about a love triangle involving two women. The relationship turns very bad but those gamers willing to play to the bitter end will be glad they did.

The main character is Vincent who is about 32 yrs old and he is in a relationship with Katherine. Yes, with a K. He is an easy going, laid back type of guy, who takes things one day at a time. Nothing seems to ruffle his feathers. Katherine, on the other hand is very serious, ambitious and goal oriented.

On a night out by himself, Vincent meets Catherine. Yes, with a C. They end up in bed together and spend the night in wild ecstasy. Catherine is more like Vincent and they share a lot in common. She is also very beautiful and attractive. From then on Vincent is driven mad with terrifying nightmares. He cannot forgive himself for cheating and his life becomes a turmoil of confusion and guilt. In his dreams he has to climb huge towers of stone and talking sheep hound him. Young men at that time are dying in their sleep and this adds to Vincent's psychological troubles.

Although this is only a game, the story is very real. Adult gamers will relate to the love and commitment issues involved in the storyline and perhaps this game is truly only for adults. Kids may not grasp the complex relationship issues present in the game. It is this aspect of the game that makes it so unique. Capturing such qualities in a video game isn't the norm and quite difficult to accomplish. However, the developer has done a superb job in the romance and relationship department. Mature adults will find the game rather comforting and realistic.

Vincent plays a very realistic character and the problems and obstacles he encounters are true to many real life love triangles. The decisions and choices he makes may not be the right ones, but how many of us have made terrible mistakes in our own real life relationships and lived to regret it later?

Vincent spends a lot of time with his friends in a singles bar, and they try and give him advice regarding his personal life. He has to juggle between his own conscience and those friends who mean well. Things start out simple, but gets very complicated as you move from one level to the next.

While Vincent is in the bar Catherine and others sends him text sms's and he has to reply quickly. Depending on what he answers the game can take unexpected twists. Writing a review on this game can be hard. You need to play the game and come to your own conclusion whether it is good or bad. The game can be too confusing for some and easy for others.

Flight Control Wii Review

There's no denying that Firement is a gaming studio that knows what they are doing. Flight Control is another masterpiece they've been working hard on. Now they are distributing it on as many gaming platforms as possible.

The iPhone was the first device to get Flight Control. The controls were designed specifically for touch screens and it worked perfectly. Then the game morphed to other platforms and the controls were adapted, and this didn't do the game much good.

If you play the game on Wii you control the plane with the IR. This doesn't give you the same smooth control experienced with the iPhone. Direct input on the iPhone meant you could react faster and when you were swarmed with enemy aircraft you could stay in control and dodge every enemy plane that came at you. But not so with the Wii remote. You will find yourself overwhelmed by enemy aircraft and a control that doesn't give you the ability to counter them. The game is just too hard to play on the Wii. Your reflexes will be slower.

The advantage is the Wii version has multiplayer mode and in this mode, the game becomes easier as you have help from other players. The game is still hard, but now you have others to take care of some of the enemy units. This is a godsend which at least gives you a fighting chance. Another fun factor is that you're not alone and with other people present you can coordinate and plan attacks. The iPhone version could only be played in single player mode and made many a gamer lonely.

So Flight Control isn't really a bad game for the Wii after all. Who would have guessed that a grave disadvantage could become one of its greatest assets? You can also help each other in multiplayer mode and mess with your friends' brains, adding more fun to the game. For example, you could send your plane on a collision course with theirs and turn around just at the last moment, but don't try this with your old man, his ticker won't take the stress and he could end up having a stroke.

Playing the game by yourself will be a bad choice, so stick with multiplayer mode and you've got yourself a great game. The game is really an immense pleasure to play and will give you hours of fun and entertainment, just include as many friends as possible to join you. They'll love you to bits for it.

Rugby Challenge PlayStation 3 Review

FIFA 11 and Rugby Challenge have a lot of similarities which leads us to think that Sidhe has probably copied everything from FIFA 11 and inserted it into their own game and renamed it Rugby Challenge. This may be a good thing though, as the graphics are brilliantly constructed and leave rugby fans in awe.

The world's most famous teams all feature in this edition of rugby for the PlayStation 3. Australia and New Zealand are there as well as America. All of England's rugby teams feature, Wales, Ireland, Scotland which makes Rugby Challenge a comprehensive rugby game that all enthusiasts will love. Unfortunately, South African teams are left out of the licensing and fans will have to make do with faceless players and make-believe. Fortunately, you get to play all the major rugby games in the world. A feature that was absent in the recently released Rugby World Cup 2011.

The best option for the game is career mode and you are in charge of a country or rugby club and you have that job for 13 glorious seasons, to dummy and side-step to your heart's content. Kicking and running on the field are very similar to real life situations and there are four different kick variations you can perform with the control stick. Passing is easy to accomplish using the control stick. You should quickly master the controls without too many hick-ups. You can easily push and pull in the scrums. If you need help there is a comprehensive tutorial included and also a slow motion rules video, so even if you haven't played rugby before, it's easy to get going. You can build your own teams, buy and swap players from the different clubs and even create your own.

Although the licensing issue hampers the representation of South African teams, you can create your own players and name them as you wish. The downside is that you don't see characters with familiar faces running around on the field, but all the other major countries are fairly represented so this isn't the end of the world for rugby fans. In Rugby World Cup 2011 South African teams are also not licensed and you are severely limited in creating your own players. At least in Rugby Challenge you can build your own players from scratch or buy from other teams and insert the players into your own team.

Rugby Challenge does suffer from a few flaws though. There aren't any flashy moves on the field, or brilliant sidesteps you can perform to dazzle the crowds. All the moves are standard basic rugby tactics. If you are new to the game of rugby it won't matter, but fans who live and eat rugby will be disappointed. The commentators lack enthusiasm and their voices are without any emotion or feeling that drives the listener wild. If you've listened to a rugby game on radio or TV you will know what I'm talking about. The commentator fires you up with his fiery language and passion for the game. Much of the drama is lost with their lackluster performance.

On the field Rugby Challenge is exciting and full of action. The animations and facial expressions of the players are life-like and pump you full of adrenaline. You will have a ball of a time with this game.

Bastion Review

What makes for a great rounded game? It has to have a good story, with good gameplay and narratives, and the graphics and sound must be brilliant. Enough to inspire the gamer to play on, despite the difficulties he may encounter in the game. If any of this is missing or bad, the gamer is likely to give up and abandon the game. Bastion has none of these. The graphics are average, the music does not seem to fit the game all that well, and the narrative is a guy who talks in short, straight forward sentences. His voice is rough and uncultured. You will hate listening to it. He talks continually, with no pause, telling you what to do, where to go, advising you, and then you realize if he wasn't there, you would be lost. So eventually you depend on him, lean on him and he becomes your guardian angel and your mentor. Without him, you would surely lose the game.

The game is long. It may take you two solid days to play to the end. The storyline goes like this. The world has almost ended. You play the hero who comes to the rescue. Your task is to find some rocks and bring them back to the Bastion. Caelondia has to be rebuilt and only you can do it.

There are plenty of enemy combatants you will encounter on your journey. Fortunately, you have a range of weapons to protect yourself. Bows, arrows, pikes, shields, knives, guns, and some other surprises that will keep the game very addictive. You will really enjoy using these weapons to pound your enemies into submission. There are many different obstacles and enemies to overcome.

The developer, known as Supergiant, wanted to make a game that required the gamer to think all the time. They didn't want him or her to lazily play through the game, half asleep, so they made it that you have to concentrate on what you are doing all the time. If you relax your guard for one second, you will surely die. There are so many bad encounters awaiting an unsuspecting gamer, you will learn early in the game you can't let your guard down for an instant.

You must listen intently to the narrative, so that you know what you have to do, and stay focused on your goal. This game is filled with action, from start to finish. It gets more difficult and complicated as you progress from one level to the next. Each level is filled with new challenges and obstacles. Nothing seems to stay the same. There are no repetitive movements and fighting scenes that become boring after a while. You are pushed from one extreme to the next. Piece by piece you unravel the mysterious that surround you.

This game becomes intoxicating and you will delve deeper and deeper into its mysterious puzzles as you venture along. If you like role playing, then this is your dream come true. Bastion is after all a well rounded game, but you only realize that at the end. So keep playing and it will all come together.

FEAR 3 Review

Gamers, who played any iteration of F.E.A.R. before certainly know why this series is so popular. The games are all solid first person shooters, along with horror elements. A common gamer's perception is that when he/she is not shooting at enemies, they feel relaxed, but F.E.A.R. does not provide you that luxury. You feel more tense when you are just roaming around the level instead of shooting. That is exactly what made the first F.E.A.R. so great and different from other fps games. F.E.A.R. 2 certainly tried to follow the footsteps of the first game. In case of F.E.A.R. 3 the game developers seem to divert away from the horror side and concentrated more on the gameplay and story.

The horror...

Well, like what I have already said, the horror portion of the F.E.A.R. 3 seems to be the least important part from the developer's point of view. They did not try to keep the player on the edge like the previous ones, where a player would jump out of his/her chair or feel tense all the time while playing the game because of psychological impact of music and environment. Instead horror was kept to minimal level where the creep (Harlan Wade) tries to attack you in most of the intervals of the game and several other environmental scares. Previously you always tried to avoid Alma and she was one of the main reasons why you feared F.E.A.R., but in F.E.A.R. 3 that impact is gone.

The gameplay

From the gameplay perspective F.E.A.R. 3 is certainly a great game. The enemy AI is better than ever. You can hear them speak to each other as they try to pin point your location and flank you out. Although you are limited to carry only 2 weapons and the arsenal you get in the game are also limited when compared with other fps games, but that does not degrade the quality of the gameplay that F.E.A.R. 3 will offer you. When everyone is trying to clone the famous fps (need I mention the name?), F.E.A.R. 3 is standalone and different from those games and it is not just another war game. If you are an fps fan then F.E.A.R. 3 certainly has something different to offer among the fps to you. There will be plenty of occasions when you will be outnumbered and most fire-fights are very intense, giving you a satisfaction you deserve after you complete an area.

The graphics

F.E.A.R. 3 is not a graphical eye candy, like some other fps games. But the question is, are you one of those gamers who play a game because of its "awesome graphics"? Then, you certainly will not be satisfied with graphics quality of F.E.A.R. 3. Among the different versions on consoles and PC, the PC version is the only one that looks quite good with all graphical setting set to high and it runs pretty smooth on all versions.

What to expect from F.E.A.R. 3?

F.E.A.R. 3 offers you intense fps gameplay with strong AI with an engaging and may be a little bit confusing (for new players of the series) storyline. The ending of the game is also superb, as it keeps the window open for a sequel with any kind of scenario imaginable.

Starcraft 2 race review

StarCraft II is the latest game already, but still play its millions all over the world.

It was released on July 27, 2010 by Blizzard after up to Starcraft-Brood Wars ". The game also has 2 Add-on; "Heart of the swarm and Legacy of the Void which are not released yet. Considering that it has opened 3 years previously that did not take as long as many other games that actually appear on the market, despite the fact that there is in this way, the time of the 10-year gap between the appearance of Starcraft I and II.

This is one of the most popular games worldwide, selling over 3 million times in the first months-and not make illegal copies.

Games:
The game can be played in a variety of combinations ranging from simple 1vs1 4vs4 or even free for all.

The campaign offers you more than 48 hours of play intense and interesting storyline do. Don't forget that you can choose which missions you can decide which side to fight for making fun of a campaign to play more than once.

You have 3 races to choose at the beginning of every multiplayer game:

Terran:
Human exiles from Earth, to them, having fundamental units as marines, machinery as Siege tanks and airplanes.

Zerg:
The alien's race, consisting of many super-assimilated form of living species, having only a life of individuals, not machines of all kinds.

Protoss:
A highly developed alien race with a strong clerical authority, having the basic protoss warriors as units, machinery, such as worms and flying units of the robot as the protoss.

There are many different tactics in this game, but the main objective is to continue to destroy your enemy, you can do so by the destruction of all buildings that are able to produce units, and all units that are comfortable buildings.

Begins with the main building and 5 "miners" different every race. You have 2 different resources, minerals and vespine gas. Minerals is the leading resource and is required for the construction of the basic units, etc., while gaz vespine is required for the development and manufacture of advanced units.

Beginning the exploitation of resources and expanding the bases. Now the question is, do you want to build a base of the second and push up resources or very quickly create a small army. Every tactic you can counteract and often the players have only milliseconds decided what to do.

Problems that occur in this game was such that it has not met before-there is no LAN function. LAN (local area network) is playing in the offline mode, 2 or more computers connected to each other without the use of the Internet. Makes games less attractive to the "professional" players, since in some tournaments that had to be played by Battle NET, frequently a delay or even players drops, creating a whole experience worse and even "manipulates" games.

All in all Starcraft II is a very nice, though, merges the old and new concepts, giving an interesting single-player campaign and enormous opportunities on-line, together with the editor.

Is this worth 50 EUROS/dollars that much at the moment, so I recommend it to anyone who can only read it.
