Twisted Metal - The Classics in its New Look


Series of Twisted Metal PS3 comes with the title containing more demolition and explosions. Play as one of the drivers completely stamped in vehicles of death even better equipped than the army of destructive races and become the champion of violence on wheels.

The concept of Twisted Metal could not be simpler. Take cars, graft devastating weapons on their bodies and place them all in a closed level. It only remains for you to admire the result. The new game Twisted Metal for Playstation 3, the first on this machine, the letter follows the specifications imposed from Twisted Metal 1 on PS1. The game will include solo and multi up to 16 players online and even at 2 or 4 players in split screen. We do not yet know the detailed content of game modes, but there should be drinking and eating at this level. For now, only the Deathmatch modes and Nuke (on which we return below) were revealed. If the solo will focus on the story of a single character, the multiplayer aspect will be based on a concept of factions. There will be four factions and each headed by a charismatic leader (Sweet Tooth Doll Face ..). Casually, the notion of clan gives a clear change since the player will no longer control bound to a single vehicle but may change fairly regularly. Each clan has indeed a broad lineup of vehicles to offer a final armada complete and well thought.

Twisted Metal

Twisted Metal races are pretty tough. To show some of the novel aspects of the new component, the presentation was focused on the multiplayer Nuke. Fairly close to the famous Capture the Flag, this mode sees two giant statues float above the field of play the primary goal of Twisted Metal is to destroy the statue opposite. But do not be as easy as expected since it will first find and capture the enemy leader and drag it to a missile. There he will wait for the missile opens and becomes operational. It is only from there that it is possible to send the leader a missile and control it up to the statue. Whew! During each stage, the game does not stop for one second and the carnage continues on all sides. Needless to say that sending a single missile already requires a huge team effort. The first thing to do in this Twisted Metal feature is to catch the leader, then to bring it back safely and finally to place it in the missile. During this last step, your vehicle becomes even completely harmless because it can’t attack or defend them in the area around the caster. We must therefore rely on allies for a little protection, knowing that if you leave the area, the missile closes and you must start the wait.

We will first conduct a helicopter. Twisted Metal for Playstation 3 introduces several new vehicles including a helicopter. For the first time, it is possible to fly level and attack his enemies from the sky. An ambulance, a tow truck, a sports car, a motorcycle are some of the other vehicles that can drive. Each has a number of weapons on board a missile that is directly related to the function of the vehicle. For example, the ambulance can send him flying a patient in a wheelchair. The players have to control the poor patient to blow up on its victims. It is well recognized is the spirit of the series! If dark humor is present, expect still less disruptive to a game that Twisted Metal Black was for once really creepy. A few other small features of the gameplay were also shown, such as the sniper rifle can knock an enemy with great precision from one end to another level. In fact, more waiting for the shooter, the reticle is more accurate. Yet he will find a break to adjust the shooting. Remember finally that the vehicles can also take advantage of several offensive or defensive powers such as mines, magnets or even turbos. With all of that, the parties ahead are extremely nervous and rhythmic for Twisted Metal.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 - Still Influential


Much has been said about the thirteenth part of Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy XIII-2, but in the end, the game was still passed to several million copies worldwide, and now the buzz has waned, the direct result deserves it to do so, or is it another attempt a bit awkward as Final Fantasy X-2 in its time?

Summarize a scenario of modern Final Fantasy is still quite complicated and delicate. It must be said that the specialty producers is to tell a story so convoluted actually quite simple, a habit become a running gag on the Japanese web. Final Fantasy XIII-2 spoke of IE, of Fal'cie and Purging Cocoon, then in the end it was primarily the story of a security guard who wanted to save his sister, the victim of a curse, left to join the fop with his redneck. Final Fantasy XIII-2 again just after initiation of this adventure, we explained that our heroes have created a bug in the space-time, without elaborating. Result, Lightning finds himself in a parallel world out of time called Valhalla, which said it will defend the world against a mysterious and shadowy warrior named Caius. Violent struggle, then return to Serah, the famous younger sister need help with the turning of a corridor in the previous panel. This is annoyed because she just saved + is left without her big sister, always missing. But the separation does not end there, since her fiancé saw his sadness, goes in search of Lightning so that their marriage be happier. Serah live so softly among the charming simpletons that serve as companions to Snow, until she comes face to face with Noel, a mysterious young man who said to come from Lightning. It does not need to follow more Serah Noel in a time warp to go in search of his sister.

Final Fantasy XIII-2

Noel is one of the new characters in the Final Fantasy XIII-2. After several battles, the mechanisms of deactivation is finally reached, but Noel, Serah Mog and have yet to find a way to use it. For this, we must be guided in a sort of Noel virtual universe. Walking on the boxes that disappear immediately behind him, the hero must go from point A to point B and collect all the crystals on the screen. Yes, these sequences are indeed small puzzle in itself not very difficult, but perfect for varied gameplay. Unclear whether these sequences take place regularly or it is an isolated example. The demo is finally concluded with a match against new Altas. Absent from the demo Lightning is very present in the final game, as evidenced by the short section presented to the press away from prying eyes. Launched at high speed on his horse Odin, the beautiful committed the battle against Bahamut of chaos. The sequence is extremely short and not playable for us. Journalists putting in place a system for longer than QTE preview with Noel. Unfortunately the only thing we can say about Lightning, whose mission is still mysterious.

With its many new features, in more controlled pace of play and its combat system still effective, the title should easily meet the fans of the series and win back the heart of the players disappointed by XIII-1. If the achievement deserves one or two strokes of polish (the alisasing was indeed present), we relied on to provide a Square Enix game to the dazzling technique as is always the case with a Final Fantasy XIII-2 game.

The Darkness II - Even Glimmer of Light Will be So Meaningful


In The Darkness II, adaptting a comic book video game is not an easy task. However, you can easily say that Starbreeze had succeeded in 2007 with The Darkness. Not without its flaws, the game had found its audience, making even passing a bad score with more than one million copies sold. The publisher 2K Games has decided to replace the cover by giving developing its response to Canadian studio Digital Extremes. If it was clearly the goal to provide a strong single player experience, it also took time to work on the multiplayer aspect of The Darkness II. The game features include a coop mode highlighting a gallery of new characters. This is what you can expect.

Before discussing the multiplayer side of The Darkness II, make a point on the solo part of the title. Indeed, you have been able to play a new passage of history. Remember that it is always written by Paul Jenkins, a renowned writer of comics, who had worked on the first part. It is of course a guarantee of fidelity to the original material! The game takes place two years after the first round. Jackie Estacado became the boss of the family Franchetti. This does not prevent him from continuing to fight against the memory still fresh of his late girlfriend, Jenny. Despite anger that continues to erode, he managed to control the Darkness at the cost of a daily effort. However, this evil power, the source of most of its ills, continues to burn from the inside in silence. So that one day an unexpected event will cause a recurrence of this destructive pest. But in addition to fighting against himself, Jackie will have to face as a bonus the Brotherhood, an organization that wants to steal his powers for evil.

The Darkness II


The Darkness II

And it would be a shame to forego the aid of these grasping appendages so their presence is revolutionizing our ability to gut everything that moves. Already armed to the teeth like any good self-respecting Mafia, Jackie once again use these extensions gear to catch the enemy before being cut up, enter elements of the decor and catapult the face of the first passer-arms fell back the ground, pull a car door or a sign to use it cover, etc.. Although combining these capabilities with two pop-guns that Jackie could brandish its mimine can turn the player into a real killing machine, which will not be too much to overcome in The Darkness II. Tuck everything that passes will also get a special resource that will be used to increase the skills of Jackie and unlock some special powers. It was thus possible to discover the Gun Channeling, which allows temporarily replace our current weapon ammunition by the energy of Darkness and thus défourailler like a big nag without having to reload.

In all, there are four talent trees that can be improved in the course of our journey to shape our hero according to our preferences. This new face to face with The Darkness II was also an opportunity to discover that the friend Jackie hallucinates a lot and is haunted by voices and apparitions of his former girlfriend revenge in the first episode of the series. A passage in the demonstration of the game even suggested that our hero may currently be locked in an asylum, drooling like a blessed while supernatural adventures animate his sick mind, intriguing.

Graphic side, the switch to cel-shading is actually not that missed that one could believe it at the onset of the first images and whether the murky atmosphere of the first episode has indeed disappeared, found here a graphic style rather nice although quite limited technically. And if you wait, of course, get your hands on one final game before issuing a verdict on The Darkness II, you still admit that the meeting with the game has quite reassured about his future. There's good news.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - The World without Limit!


Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is the action RPG developed by Big Huge Games (and distributed by EA), KOA R is a game overseen by three big names: RA Salvatore (the Trilogy of the Black Elf) to the scenario, Todd McFarlane (Spawn) as lead artist and Ken Rolston (Oblivion) as lead designer. This game is supposed to launch a new license if he wins the cross media success.

The world is torn by Amalur a war launched by Thuat Deohn, race of the Fae, immortal beings endowed with immense magical powers, against the other races. It embodies a character killed in the war and provided by two gnomes in a sort of morgue very intriguing. There is a choice between four 'races', each with their bonus, then to choose gender and overall appearance. It is then possible to choose a deity of choice or be free from divine influence.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning


Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

It comes back to life following a stay in the "Well of Souls." It seems that this is the first time someone comes to life in a state as good. In the Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the destiny of nations is normally fixed at birth. But this return to life avatar gives our freedom to be free of destiny. But we have no time to inquire further as the Thuat Deohn, far from the front, at the same time launched an attack on the Well. One must first meet the designer of the Well in the Tower of Allestar before attempting to flee to Agartha. Once out of Agartha, a 45-minute countdown starts up, to explore a little over the universe.

The combat system returns straight to the Action RPG genre with the fighting nervous, giving choice to acquire a primary weapon and a secondary weapon, using spells via shortcuts or use stealth . Some weapons can use charged shots. There are no cons for targeting system. The fighting proved much more interesting than a Skyrim. There are in addition to the "limits" and put to death via QTE. There are a classic inventory system can be equipped with equipment and weapons picked up on enemies or in chests. It seems that the equipment can wear (durability points).

In addition, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning also inherited a range of special skills obtained over the levels to complement our conventional attacks more impressive power. To understand their acquisition, we must first explain the system "for" of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, which replaces more or less the character classes role-playing classic. Every time you pass a level in the title, we recover three skill points to distribute in the talent trees of the game at three, they allow us to specialize our character in Might, Finesse and Sorcery or rather mix some things. By investing in these trees, we will release the "intended" with which we can juggle at will to change some of the skills of our character.

We begin our part as Fateless (a class neutral) to unlock the fate of Rogue, Brawler Acolyte (obviously more or less corresponding to the classics thief, warrior, and mage) on our first level. The selection will only grow after that and there will be future access to a total of 5 for purely Might, Sorcery and Finesse, 5 for Might / Sorcery, Finesse / Sorcery and Might / Finesse and finally for 6 Might / Finesse / Sorcery for a total of 40 for. Each of these will be for more or less accessible depending on our level, for example asking the Fighter 11 skill points spent in Might, while the Warlock will require him, at least 25 points in Subtlety and 25 Sorcery. Knowing that for each is accompanied by passive skills can be very useful to become Seer in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (28 points in Sorcery) has for example allowed replacing our classic dodge (a single roll) by a short-range teleportation much more convenient.

WoW: The Lunar Festival - Dancing in the Moonlight


The Lunar Festival WoW is a time of remembrance. The people of Azeroth celebrate their triumph achieved thousands of years ago, when a covenant of good races (Night Elves, Tauren, and Earthen a race of proto-dwarf) defeated a terrible evil. Lunar Festival WoW is also an occasion to remember the courage and wisdom of that ancient age.

The demi-god Omen was a being of great strength and great knowledge. Blessed by Elune, Omen wandered original Kalimdor, guiding hunters and gatherers and offering luck and advice to everyone he met. When the Burning Legion launched their attack, Omen allied with Azeroth's defenders. He fights valiantly. But after many battles, the wounds he received from demonic forces plunged him into a deep sleep filled with nightmares corrupt, slowly consumed. When he awoke, centuries later, he had gone mad.

Transformed Omen swept everything in its path. The creature of wisdom was not, but the blessing of Elune had left him a formidable force. He killed, shredded and devoured, wherever he went. Terror preceded him, and death followed his wake. The carnage ended when a coterie of Omen of ancient heroes gathered in the village of Nighthaven and faced the beast. They invoked the wrath of the moon and Omen, blinded and stunned by the power of the moon goddess, fled into the depths of Lake Elune'ara. That day marked the end of his rampage, and symbolized a new beginning for the people of Azeroth and the followers of Elune. That event was been the background of Lunar Festival WoW.

Lunar Festival WoW


Lunar Festival WoW

Today, the Lunar Festival WoW is in the hands of the Druids of Nighthaven. Horde and Alliance are both welcome to celebrate and shoot fireworks, a symbol of the power of Elune. Former heroes of the past also appear throughout the world, offering gifts to those who find and honor them. It is a time of happiness, luck and festivity. But the purpose of these festivities of Lunar Festival is much deeper than it seems. Omen, defeated so many centuries ago, remains hidden in the lake Elune'ara. Driven insane by the Burning Legion, the demigod still possesses Elune's blessing and, therefore, is immortal. During the Lunar Festival, he wakes up. Then, the heroes are called to defeat him again.

During the Lunar Festival, Elders are 75 scattered around the world. They can be found in the bodies outside, or in cities. If you talk to an elder, he will give you a piece of the ancestors. These parts are used as bargaining chips for patterns or engineering recipe sewing. Every time you get a room, you also earn 75 points for your faction (so you can win at the festival 5625 reputation points in total) You will receive 2 hours after meeting an old one, a lucky red envelope containing a moonstone elders or a string of lucky rockets. Once all these high fait accompli, you will get the title "Old" and the top is honoring its elders. In addition, this achievement has to travel halfway around the world (alliance) or Travel to World's End (Horde) to get the famous proto-drake purple. The Lunar Festival WoW is always worth the wait.

The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff - Get More Luxurious!

Now the players from the game Sims 3 can use the romantic clothing for intimate relationships. Electronic Arts announced the latest expansion pack for The Sims 3 with the title The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff that also would provide a bedroom, bathroom, furniture, and luxurious decoration for your Sims.

The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff


The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff

The regulars of the series will not be disoriented by the technique, but could be surprised by the new facies of our virtual friends. Maxis has almost managed a feat by making Sims both more realistic, with attention to detail further and less cartoon expressions, but also more "plasticized". The skin, exaggerated the roundness, the doll eyes, so many details that will not be unanimous. We regret all the same simplification of certain options that were available from the first episode of The Sims 2, especially in terms of facial hair male Sims. As a result, those who are not dressed in a beard of at least two weeks are often androgynous look quite disturbing. Worse, the title is downright stingy in regard to haircuts, and some that are proposed are not really the best taste. This time, there really is something to rail against developers who have incorporated hairstyles Tokio Hotel but who have forgotten more classic cuts. By cons, and it's a good thing, we can finally resolve what might be called the scale Sim's body: the weakling to brute through the sumo wrestler, weight and muscles no longer go to pair and can be modified independently. Small changes, but nothing revolutionary: it would have preferred to model the whole body of our Sims like a god potter, and able also, why not set size.
The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff is perfect for players of The Sims 3 who like a life of luxury and wallowing in wealth. Thus Sims needs will be met and feels more complete and pampered. This expansion pack is the development of the previous expansion pack and is the fifth expansion pack for The Sims 3 game. Sims 3: Master Suits Stuff was first launched in November 2011 and is still in the process of refinement.

Now you can create a luxurious master bedroom by choosing any one of dozens of options that have been provided in this expansion pack, including a bed with a magnificent curtain, a set dresser contemporary or classic, and luxurious bathrooms. Complete your home by adding the perfect finishing touch and elegant as with candles, roses and decorative vases for more flavor in your house luxury. The clothes are nice and romantic sims will also be available to you and the clothes will fit you to a romantic evening or a night of relaxation that will pamper your Sims. In addition there will be a new hairstyle to renew your Sims look good for one night only or for all time. The add-on of course requires the main game. The download for this The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff costs about US$ 19.99

Infinity Blade II - The Endless Slash in Apple


Infinity Blade II is definitely the most beautiful game iOS to date. This fighting game, however, can be a bit repetitive and you can’t play anymore. This game was developed by Chair Entertainment Group and its price is about € 5.49 in Europe for 940 MB. Chair Entertainment, the publisher of the game, however, intends to add a small dose of multiplayer. In a future update that is not expected until a few months will benefit from Infinity Blade II "Clash Mobs." This feature allows some players to join forces against a common enemy. Everything will be done through Internet and through icloud and players involved in the fighting to gain more specific rewards.

Infinity Blade II


Infinity Blade II

The concept of Infinity Blade II was for failure to categorically divide the players. Go through the hallways and during a castle to fight a losing battle until, finally, after advancing the line of heroes could finally put a hammering in the eternal, everyone did not that. Inevitably repetitive, yet knew the title charmed by its realization to the hair and combat system perfectly calibrated. No question, however, be satisfied with a result that would take the idea to the letter, which has flesh well understood. First, Infinity Blade II adopts a scenario and we find that since the game does not have many heroes all descendants from each other but only one, now decked named Siri. If in the first part he was finally able to seize the sword eternal Siri must now get their hands on the Smith Arcane held prisoner in a new castle. And with each death, before leaving for a renaissance additional you will receive a hint from illuminating the plot.

Touch Arcade as the general talk of IGN masterpiece, no less, and the images that we have seen so far are really impressive. The principle of the game, battles that are repeated in a loop, will not please everyone, but we can not remain indifferent to the quality of graphics. Note that if the gameplay has not fundamentally changed since the first version, Infinity Blade II offers more freedom to the player by allowing him to choose a particular path to the next enemy.

It revealed its full potential on the latest devices. The graphics are actually better with the iPad 2 or iPhone 4S, but you can also play with an iPhone 3G or 4, a first generation iPhone or iPod touch third generation. But beware, the game weighs nearly a gigabyte.

The gems also added to complement the combat and character progression. Now you can also modify its equipment by collecting or purchasing magical gems that provide a bonus of magic, armor, health, collecting gold and whatnot. Just assign a gem compatible with an object and hop. A little extra that can enchant their weapons in particular. And also note in passing that it is possible to collect quite a package of items in the shop. What push compulsive collectors to spend time in the game so only unlock everything? Don’ forgets that Infinity Blade II is a kind of super lightweight RPG where the character gains levels, increases its features and offers the beautiful materials whenever its gold reserve permits.

Elders of Kalimdor - The Elder of The Moon


Do you want to bear the title of Elders? I dare to challenge you to get the title if you feel deserve to it! Elders of Kalimdor are the achievement in World of Warcraft game. This is one of 15 achievements in the world event, the Lunar Festival. To achieve this tittle the player must complete series of quest as below:
  • Elder of Primestone
  • Elder of Windtotem
  • Elder of Dreamseer
  • Elder of Starweave
  • Elder of Mistwalker
  • Elder of Bloodhoof
  • Elder of Skyseer
  • Elder of Stonespire
  • Elder of Bladesing
  • Elder of Thunderhorn
  • Elder of Skygleam
  • Elder of Ragetotem
  • Elder of High Mountain
  • Elder of Bladeleaf
  • Elder of Grimtotem
  • Elder of Nightwind
  • Elder of Riversong
  • Elder of Morningdew
  • Elder of Moonwarden
  • Elder of Brightspear
  • Elder of Runetotem

Kalimdor, the origin of Elders of Kalimdor is the largest landmass in the world of Azeroth. It is the ancestral home land of the Night Elves and Tauren. Located west of Maëlstorm and south-west of Northrend, the continent is probably the one who first, was born and die of great civilizations. It's also where the new home of the orcs, trolls, and draenei is. Since the invasion of the Burning Legion, the Elves retreated to the north, in their new home to Nordrassil, while tauren settled in central Kalimdor, in Mulgore orcs with their new allies.
Kalimdor was a short time of peace, but the increasing activity of the centaurs and the demons to remind everyone that we must fight to survive. Bontinent today is politically divided. Strongly the horde controls the eastern and mid-continent during the night elves (helped by the recent arrival of the Undead) are in the western. Humans, however, retain a fortified port in the Dustwallow Marsh, east of the continent. There you can find most elders and get Elders of Kalimdor.

Four capitals are present in Kalimdor: Darnassus (night elf) Orgrimmar (orc and troll) Thunder Bluff (Tauren) and The Exodar (Draenei) It contains the proceedings of the gates of Ahn Qiraji in Silithus accessible through the Un'Goro Crater to the east. This area is very dangerous. Before the war, the old and the destruction of the Well of Eternity name of the designated Elders of Kalimdor unique and vast continent of Azeroth.

The success of The Elders of Kalimdor is unfortunately not one of the too-exciting tasks in World of Warcraft. For this success must be a total of 21 over the ancestral lands of Kalimdor see scattered. If you play with the English version called the Elder Incidentally, what translated actually means elder. Although the elders not really hard to find because the places where you already have to find success in the stand sometimes you must venture into enemy territory, it hurts anything to know the whereabouts of the ancestors in more detail. Therefore I have compiled all the time coordinates of the elders of Kalimdor.

Not surprisingly, since the areas of Kalimdor and Azeroth have undergone cataclysmic changes, the vanilla instances (lvl 1-60) now offer level ranges different from those we experienced during the old days. This change relates to the mob (monster controlled by the computer) in it but also the objects them dropent. The Elders of Kalimdor is the elder of the moon.

Finally, the latest MMA fighting game is going to be released soon. UFC Undisputed 3, the third game of UFC Undisputed franchise that was created back in 2007 under agreement with UFC. It will hit the stores on the Valentine’s Day, 14th of February 2012 for both PS3 and Xbox 360. Fans of UFC and the franchise should already pre-order this, I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. Well, let’s roll to the details.

THQ’s UFC Undisputed 3 is made to support UFC since lately UFC has been booming because of FOX. One notable change this one has is control change. THQ has cleverly thought of fans’ concerns and decided to create a more noob-friendly control. This simplified control makes MMA fighting as easy as blinking, while maintaining the fun and effectivity of the game. However, you can still choose the traditional hardcore control if you feel it suits you the most.

UFC Undisputed 3 emphasizes its career mode, which is far better and fun to play. You can still create your own detailed fighter and play it in career mode, striving through the fights to become a top UFC fighter. New feature introduced in this game, we can play as other fighters included in the roster in career mode. So, even if you use the best MMA fighter, you will start at the same point in career mode, building your success from scratch. Career mode does not instantly put you into the UFC fights, instead, you’ll have to learn the ropes first in the arena of WFA and spread your fame to finally qualify your fighter to the UFC. Once you are a UFC fighter, the real game begins. Harder foes, events, relationship between fighters, and of course, training still holds an important role to further increase your fighter’s skills.

Different from previous installment, UFC Undisputed 3 won’t show you the crappy computer-made cutscenes they used to show. Instead, when we play as a preexisting character, we will be served with a real footage video of the fighter’s career in the real world like first win, first lost, training, issues, interviews, etc. What’s more, just like WWE, there will be entrance scenes!

Since Zuffa, LLC also owns the right for PRIDE FC, fresh from the oven, PRIDE FC will be included in UFC Undisputed 3. It is a Japanese MMA fighting championship that is more extreme and crazy. Rosters from UFC and PRIDE is not the same, however, you can select anyone of them to fight either in UFC rules or PRIDE rules.

For the sake of well-seasoned players, THQ has removed random events in a fight such as doctor stoppage and flash KO that was so random and annoying. Other than that, new robust training feature allows the fighter to camp-train in six famous fighting academies like Greg Jackson’s and much more.

I suggest UFC fans to directly pre-order this game because it shows lots of improvements compared to the previous installment. And now, THQ is giving you a limited-time offer for a free fighter (The Reem) by liking their page in Facebook. If you are not sure, you can as well try the demo that is available in both PSN and Xbox LIVE. So, regardless of the drawbacks, UFC Undisputed 3 is still a great upcoming MMA championship game.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss


While Naughty Dog concocted the beautiful Uncharted 3: The illusion of Drake, Sony Computer Entertainment America's Bend Studio preparing for his part Uncharted: Golden Abyss, the first episode of the series laptop. Intended for the new PS Vita which must be the spearhead, the game finally arrives with a sacred pressure on yourself.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss is in the palm of the hand. The thing might seem ambitious, but it was necessary to prove to us that since the launching of the PS Vita that it will be well able to fulfill its function as a PlayStation 3 pocket without too many concessions. It was the most technical challenge for teams of Sony Computer Entertainment America's, which have already proven themselves on Syphon Filter or Resistance Retribution. And the first few minutes of play, you can push a sigh of relief: Uncharted: Golden Abyss certainly feels like its PlayStation 3 counterparts, and not a PS2 game smooth as can be the case for some second-rate productions. The technical capabilities of the PS Vita are a credit to the precious license with Sony accurate graphics and scenery rich in detail. The character modeling is good, their animations also. Some teething problems remain (aliasing, frame rate sometimes insufficient), but we feel that the console can achieve great things with modern effects. Even if everything is not perfect yet, to achieve this unprecedented level of achievement on a mobile support is a first great promise for the future.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss


Uncharted: Golden Abyss

The other thing that is reassuring for the content offered is the title. Here we are before an actual episode of Uncharted, not a game ended badly and quickly shipped to stick to the roadmap of the PS Vita (follow my eyes). Syndrome "game light" laptop has therefore no need to be with Uncharted: Golden Abyss which offers content and therefore a rising crescendo action. The multi is not there, but there are no fewer than thirty-four chapters devour in one go for a big ten hours of play, or even more for those who take the time to search all optional bonus. There are some new characters rather successful we will learn about the past of the hero, the script is in front of the first game on PS3. So, the immersion soon to take over and superhuman stunts Drake find meaning. As always the game tells an interactive story first, and it shows in both the quality of many cinematic sequences in the excellent dubbing of actors dealing with American voices.

The gameplay of Uncharted: Golden Abyss is faithful to the roots of the series. Perhaps a bit too much for those who have already completed episodes PS3, but we shall return later. The game is beautiful, however adapted to the ergonomics of the PS Vita to demonstrate its full capabilities. The touch screen is used for so many QTE very common: in the fighting to regain his balance, to cut vines with a machete. The numerous puzzles to solve will also use your finger whether it is clean or dusty objects to reconstruct torn documents. Even the back of the console screen is used to zoom, or rotate objects, and the gyroscope is used from time to time to keep his balance, but also to correct its aim in addition to the analog stick. There is even a mystery where the photo sensor of the PS Vita is called as reinforcements. As you can see, much like the output of the DS, the touch is really all over this episode to show us what the Vita PS can do. The thing may seem difficult to refractory especially that some strings are reused over and over again, but finally everything works quite well in practice of Uncharted: Golden Abyss.

Soulcalibur V, the new iteration of Namco's fighting series that appears in the ring again will coming this February, besides PS3 and Xbox 360 also could 3DS if we are to the latest information published about it.

But Soulcalibur V has also made headlines for his controversial, the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board, responsible for recommending the appropriate age for games) felt that their new game "Soulcalibur V" must be played by teenagers and people of any age, and the breasts and necks of his female characters were very exuberant.

The response of Bandai-Namco deal with this "censorship" was swift and started a Facebook campaign to promote his new title. His first ad showed a lot of cleavage with the phrase "With the new year full of hope chest" and after a barrage of criticism showed a new poster that looked a protective crotch of a male character with "large Become or go home".

This campaign lasted only a few days, as Soulcalibur V was deemed "too offensive" and the developer has not commented on advertisements. But the controversy had already begun and the game began to receive more criticism for its content.

In his new mode "Character Creation" (which will let you create new characters to compete online) you can increase your breast size female characters dress them scantily clad and zoom in parts of the body. And the violence in these games has also been increasing and it is normal to see the characters being pierced by swords or spears. The ESRB also struck by the language used by the characters and constantly insulting opponents.

Namco Bandai unveiled a new batch of images from Soulcalibur V on January 23 2012. These illustrate the alternate costumes for some fighters like Edge Master, Voldo or Astaroth. It should be noted nonetheless that these outfits will be available either on the cake of the game everything should land on 3 February on PS3 and Xbox 360. The release of Soulcalibur V is around the corner and Namco Bandai visual balance of all is, in this case a nice set of screenshots and two videos - one to explain the history and the other to promote the game in Japanese shops. We note in passing that this is the fifth episode of 17 to 19 February at International Games Festival in Cannes, in the 2012 World Cup Game, with tournaments in solo or team.

Resident Evil Retribution Trailer Doubles as Sony’s Ads?


The first teaser trailer release of Resident Evil Retribution carries a little bit awkward feeling with just a few days ago, after months of only word news and pictures, Sony Screen Gems has finally decided to give us a revelation to enlighten the details of the film. Even a bit. Resident Evil Retribution, that is going to be released in September, feature both normal version and 3D version. It is stated that it will give us the best fan service ever compared to other series of the film and that means more characters from the game will appear, including the main characters of the game, Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong.

The trailer starts by a random guy holding a Sony cellphone and said, “I am [insert name here], and this is my world.” And the video goes around this kind of thing again just with different people in different countries promoting different Sony gadget products, including the lately-popular PS Vita. After a set of weird promotion forcefully stacked into the teaser trailer for more than twenty seconds, the Earth revolves and Alice is shown in the screen. And she goes telling the crappy thing again with her stepped-up cooled voice, ‘’My name is Alice, and this is my world.” And here comes the good part. Just what to expect from the film, there are bunches of actions including firefight with Umbrella, flying Bio-Organic Weapons, and ordinary action ‘this and those’. I was just surprised with the what-the-hell-is-this-Resident-Evil-Retribution-trailer Sony promotion in the first seconds. Let’s get straight to the film description.

Milla Jovovich is back as Alice, the failed Bio-Organic Weapon that successfully backfired on Umbrella and have stayed to be its most dangerous nemesis for years. Alice and friends are captured by Umbrella again. When Alice wakes up deep in a research facility, she gets curious. She starts walking around the facility on her own and as she explored deeper into the facility, she found tons of mind-crushing hidden truths that force her to filter all her past again in order to fix what she thought to be true and what she thought to be wrong. Wentworth Miller that starred Chris Redfield also Ali Larter that played Claire Redfield will not show up in Resident Evil Retribution due to Umbrella holding them captive.

Resident Evil Retribution


Resident Evil Retribution

There are lots of characters from the Resident Evil franchise. The phenomenal Leon S. Kennedy played by Johann Urb is one of them. Resident Evil Retribution will enhance the bond between the game and the film, giving explanations about things that happen in the film and tying it with events in the game. Jill Valentine does not play the role of the hero here, instead, she is the main villain. Possibly controlled by Umbrella like in Resident Evil 5. Barry Burton, Carlos Oliviera, Rain Ocampo, Albert Wesker, and James “One” Shade is back to rock the film. What a nostalgic reunion!

So, while Resident Evil Retribution is going to be released in September, Resident Evil 6 will follow two months later. There is a slight possibility that Resident Evil Retribution will connect to Resident Evil 6. Let’s hope for the best then!

Trying not to upset their customers, Bethesda carefully going to release Skyrim 1.4 update any time real soon. The Skyrim 1.4 patch itself is still undergoing tests and things for all platforms to make sure that it won’t disappoint gamers on the release also day. Style-wise, previous Skyrim updates are proven to take care of bugs and glitches well. Not to mention its weaknesses, Skyrim updates also induce brand new glitches and bugs over time that are fixed on the next update. And the signature cycle is happening over and over again. There is no harm in raising your hopes up for Skyrim 1.4 update. Alongside the relentless PS3 lag problem fix, let’s hope for the end of the deadly bug cycle that Bethesda has experienced in most of its game in Skyrim 1.4.

One of the most disturbing bugs ever is the heart-groping framerate drop specially occurring in PS3 version of Skyrim. No doubt that this problem ruins all the fun in the game and spawn Skyrim haters for PS3. The fact that Bethesda never gives up hope is definitely true. Despite mockings and harsh mouthings directed straight to Bethesda, they still can bear the massive critics and tries to fix the game to its best. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a jolly-good thing about Bethesda.

Skyrim 1.4


Skyrim 1.4


So, Skyrim 1.4 does not stop at only fixing PS3’s lag problem. It also traces a lot of quest glitches and fix them for good. Following this great news, another heartwarming news is delivered by Bethesda. Both Skyrim Creation Kit and Steam Workshop for Skyrim, which is favored by possibly all players of Skyrim, have already entered their last stage of testing and will soon emerge to the surface by the end of this January. The Skyrim Creation Kit will give edge to modders and casual players alike, increasing and expanding the community of the game while the Steam Workshop provides support the creativity of modders.

After hours of play time, after dozens of freezes, and after experiencing the darkest hour of Skyrim, finally we can play the outstanding game of the year nominator in peace and harmony because of Skyrim 1.4. By the end of this month, PS3 gamers can enjoy Skyrim in its full performance at last. The upcoming Creation Kit and Steam Workshop will fulfill the needs of innovation in the game.

I must say that Skyrim 1.4 along with Skyrim Creation Kit and Steam Workshop blow me out. For all the commotion and efforts, great job, Bethesda! I owe you a drink full of thanks for making Skyrim and the Elder Scrolls series. Well, that is if Bethesda manages to finally fix the broken elements of the game and thus finishing the game at last. Else, I can just simply wait for another patch from Bethesda or the modders using Skyrim Creation Kit. Okay then, Skyrim 1.4, I am waiting!

SWTOR 1.1 Rains Bugs upon Ilum


As you can see, SWTOR 1.1 update fix was just released on the 19th of January 2012 after delaying the release for a few days because of an “unexpected” problem. All credits go to hardcore players that fully support the game by playing day and night, providing full information on the game’s problems. SWTOR 1.1 is titled “The Rise of Rakghouls,” hence, the title, the Rakghouls are expected to cause havoc in the universe. This patch has squashed some of the annoying bugs including the filthy, problematic breed that the original SWTOR 1.1 spawned.

After about a month, finally, BioWare released the first major game update. The SWTOR 1.1 update adds a new flashpoint called “Kaon Under Siege” and enlarges the Operation “Karagga’s Palace” size massively. BioWare is surely working hard to improve their first MMORPG, proven by the number of fixed bugs. Still, a small mistake in a game update, especially MMORPG, will break the game down and impact much bigger population. Even after various feedbacks from players of SWTOR 1.1, BioWare happened to accidentally gave birth the miserable Open World PvP Planet Ilum glitch.

SWTOR 1.1


SWTOR 1.1

Since SWTOR 1.1 update release on public test server, the turrets defending the spawn points have not been working properly. Given the massive faction imbalance that people are experiencing in the game these days, vile players that side with the Empire exploits the glitch. In the medcenters, lots of people have been camping, waiting for poor, unfortunate dudes to spawn and give them free instant kills. Other than concerning the bad, bad camping, irresponsible players have been taking advantage of the situation by farming hell a lot of Valor points. In just a few hours, a player can achieve Valor level 20 and beyond easily, minimum effort needed.

This mind-shattering problem surprised BioWare because this happened not as they have intended. The over-the-top, PvP-breaking glitch disappoints many players, thus making them rage-quit the game. To redeem their wrongs, BioWare worked non-stop to immediately release the fix to SWTOR 1.1 update in less than 24 hours. This quick response raise the hope of rage-quiters. Just like what normally MMORPG players will think of regarding massive, game-breaking problem, which is rollback. Not an exp rollback, but Valor rollback since it was the thing that they exploited since the dawn of the SWTOR 1.1 update. Well, BioWare calmly break the hopes of rage-quiters the second time to avoid innocent players to be affected by rollback. Instead, BioWare stated without doubt that they will punish every single living organism that exploits the faction imbalance severely by taking ”necessary” actions. Regarding the actions, I am sure that they mean bans. I once saw a player that glitched credits and BioWare got him out of the game for a week without credits rollback. Rage-quiters become rage-quitters and angrily abandon the game until BioWare issues rollbacks for cheating players.

 Problems will always rise especially in MMORPG with Open World PvP, ‘nuff said. Even though SWTOR 1.1 carries grief and rage to people, causing massive rage-quits, people just keep coming for it. Let me guess, someone stole their sweetroll?

Skoll - The Legendary Winter Wolf


Skoll (pronounced Skull) is a mythological beast of the Fremennik people. Skoll first pointed during the 2011 winter event and first seen in the 2012 winter event. According to Fremennik beliefs, Skoll is a wolf who has goal to eat the sun and he is the brother of Hati, a wolf who has the goal to eat the moon. If both succeed in their tasks, the world will reach its ending.

Vitharr wishes to conjure Skoll, when Skoll is at his strongest, in order to defeat Skoll and rid the Fremmennik people of the threat of the two wolf brothers (Hati and Skoll) during the winter event. By doing that, she hopes to show the brothers that the Fremmennik cannot be surrounded at any time of year, thus preventing the brothers from attacking the citizens. To conjure Skoll, Vitharr advises the player to build a bonfire as intense as the sun, so that Skoll is drawn to the realm to investigate.

Skoll


Skoll

Those who take part in the fight against Skoll, the attacker either directly or through participation in the construction of the bonfire will acquire Skoll Boots, a pair of boots that will provide a double bonus Woodcutting XP and / or Agility. The cumulative total gain of XP will be based on their current levels. These bonus XP can be attributed to several skills in various proportions. Just wear gloves or boots when you decide to improve competence in benefiting from the bonus XP. Only the strongest adventurers can fight Hati and Skoll without bringing friends and without a team with other players, as both wolves are enemies which have a great power. Be prepared to lose his life in this epic battle!

To conjure Skoll, players must add logs to the nearby bonfire. A total of 120 logs are needed to conjure him, and it appears that all logs used in Firemaking could be used. The bonfire is located just outside of the fremennick fence, far west next to the Fenris wolves. When Skoll is summoned four rocks will fall in the area around him. Fires will simmer between the rocks, forming a square around him. Anyone inside this area when the fires are lit will be trapped. After a few seconds, some meteors will explode, causing a large amount of unblock-able damage at least 500-700 to anyone inside. Players outside the fires won’t be able to attack with melee until the fires disappear, but can’t be damaged by them. It appears that the attack could be deterred by clicking out of the area instantly when the meteors fall down but just before the flame barriers appear. When the barriers are up, there is no escape. It is still possible to use range or magic from outside of the barriers.

To face Hati and Skoll, talk first with the Fremennik citizen who is at the gates of Rellekka. You can teleport to Rellekka, free talking on the hunter wolves in Barbarian Village (Gunnarsgrunn), but be careful, he might get angry if you abuse her kindness! For details on the construction of the bonfire that will attract Skoll to Gielinor, talk to Vitharr, located on the coast in a place just down the doors to the west of Rellekka. All players can fight Skoll and Hati, but since they are monsters level 654 and level 672, it will be wise to team up with other players to successfully overcome them. You will have an axe to retrieve the logs needed to invoke Skoll, but Vitharr will provide you with a basic.

MW 3 – Damage Glitch Has Been Resolved


There are some glitches in MW3, some are worse than others, such as the MW3 damage glitch. This has become a disturbance for some gamers, while others would love it to do that. We say this because there is a new bug, which allows you to get more damage on any of the default weapons in Modern Warfare 3.

Anyway we would advise you not to do this though, as you might receive a ban or get demoted as the official press released by Robert Bowling. There have been a lot of debates about this bug, some gamers said that it spoils the MW3 experience and that it’s simply cheating. However, others believe if this bug gets patched then it’s because of the shout of others.

In MW3 damage glitch, cheaters are putting Damage Proficiency onto SMGs and Assault rifles which is normally only available for Shotguns. The MK14 seems to be the most chosen weapon as they can one shot for the kill. In your killcam, you will see if any of the SMGs or assault rifles being used, has the damage proficiency on it. If it has then you have a cheater who is using the Glitch.

MW3 Damage Glitch


MW3 Damage Glitch

Robert Bowling has announced that MW3 damage glitch has been hot-fixed.  This means players will not be able to perform the exploit any more.  He has also stated that they have been monitoring those who have carried out the glitch and will be proceeding to wave the ban hammer in the cheater.

Unlike common title update, this hotfix can be carried out at any time without directly informing the public.  If you’ve been having difficulty carrying out the MW3 Damage Glitch over the past few hours, this is the reason why.  We can expect the next title update to address other exploits soon.

The draw on MW3 Damage Glitch patch will provide the solution for the damage proficiency exploit. Infinity Ward is actually concerned about the bug and is just not only fixing it with the next patch (1.08), they happen to be already working on banning gamers who are using it.

Robert Bowling, creative strategist at Infinity Ward, stated that “the damage proficiency exploit is already fixed in the next patch.” “We’re now tracking anyone abusing it and will ban offenders.” Bowling proceeded to explain, “the exploit allowed you to assign Damage proficiency to primary weapon classes that didn’t have it available. No way to do it by accident.” (http://callofduty-8-modernwarfare-3.com/using-the-mw3-damage-proficiency-glitch-will-result-in-a-ban/)

Title update #8, patch 1.08, is will available for gamers for download by the end of January, perhaps just in time for the release of the very first MW3 DLC on January 24. Another deed which should receive a fix in the forthcoming patch is the “Prestige Token Glitch“. Bowling explained the main reason a hotfix could not be applied to the Prestige Token issue is because of a “code change” being needed.

Many other glitches should be fixed with patch 1.08, and bellow is an official list of possible Title Update 8 fixes which will resolve MW3 Damage Glitch:
  • Further development to the Spawn system
  • Enhancement to PS3 Mic Quality
  • Some improvements to theater cued up for January release including HD rendering on PS3
  • Fix for Shotgun with Extended Magazine (Prevents them from shooting more pellets than intended)
  • Default : 30 Round Start timer for System Link only, while looking into adjustable timer for System Link games for Competitive Play
  • Options to allow System Link players to 'unlock all' for competitive play in System Link only.

This game is dated to release first on the 6th of March 2012 in North America and on March 15th 2012 in Japan. EA and BioWare has made sure that the game is going to be epic and performs the best out of the Mass Effect series. Mass Effect 3 will surely excites you if you are a big fan of action role-playing game developed by BioWare like Dragon Age and Mass Effect itself. Currently, there are a lot of facts about the game and I will happily spill them out here.

Mass Effect 3


Mass Effect 3

In Mass Effect 3 following the events of Arrival, most of the universe has fallen to the hand of the Reapers. Shepard is still trying and doing his best to keep the Reapers away and at bay, but despite all his efforts, the Reapers still can breakthrough the defense and conquer the universe including Earth. Shepard and friends are forced to retreat and hide with others and build an army to fight the incompetent Reapers. But, his journey of universe-saving is made much more difficult with the involvement of Cerberus, an organization that revived and remade Shepard that now opposes Shepard for an unknown reason. Shepard is faced with many problems and obstacles as he stands, fights, struggles, and strives for victory. But, will he be able to stop the Reapers? It is your job to help Shepard help the universe! Expect a true experience of great storytelling because Mass Effect 3 has a total of more than eighty minutes cutscenes.

Every single choice you made back in Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 will play their own impact to the story. The possibilities and variables for it is not less than a thousand. Even though you import your savegame, along with choices and Shepard appearance, you can freely modify and change your Shepard to prevent sudden bore happening in the middle of the game. Well, if you lost the savegame, it is over for you. Don’t be so sad, at least you can still play the game and experience one of the greatest hybrid of action role-playing game and third-person shooters in history.

You will be given three options before starting the campaign. Actually, it is not a story option, instead, it is a game mode option. The modes are Action Mode, Story Mode, and Role-Playing Mode. Hence, the title, Action Mode renders dialogs option to be chosen automatically and focuses the game only on the top-notch actions for players that are less interested in story. The Story Mode renders all combat to be easier and more forgiving while players can manually choose dialog options to delve deeper into the story. The last mode is Role-Pleying Mode that is identical to the common Mass Effect gameplay where combats are not easy nor dialogs are automatically chosen. Choose the one that suits you the most even though I recommend you to rather play the Role-Playing mode to unleash the full potential of Mass Effect 3.

Other than the new modes feature, Mass Effect 3 brings back the squad system with fewer in number. BioWare aims for deeper relationship and more interesting interaction between Shepard and his/her comrades. Most of the available squad members are from the previous installments of Mass Effect games even though there is a statement regarding a new comrade called James Vega, a marine-like character, and also Kai Leng from Mass Effect: Retribution. If you choose to import your savegame, the trust level and partners are based on your playthrough in your savegame. If one of your comrades was dead, he/she won’t come back in Mass Effect 3. Gay relationship is possible as well. just what to expect from BioWare after Dragon Age’s popular same-sex relationship. Keep in mind that your love life in the previous games will return in Mass Effect 3 and can trigger some sort of soap drama triangle-love tragedy. Be careful with that.

About the gameplay, it is similar to Mass Effect 2 with enhanced options of combat and modifications. You can jump obstacles without the need to take cover first, instant melee kills, rolls, and blind fires. Weapon modification is made better by expanding the attachments available to attach. Skill tree is made much more detailed and complex to fulfill what Mass Effect fans want. There will be classic FRAG grenade, weapons from Mass Effect 2, and mining (not like the planet mining). BioWare has significantly increased the difficulty of game by making the Artificial Intelligence much smarter. They no longer fight as pathetic individuals that selfishly shoot for his own sake. Enemies will work as a group to take down Shepard and friends.

There is a four-player co-op called “Galaxy at War” where up to four players can help each other to do special multiplayer missions to increase “Galactic’s Readiness” as it has impact on the final mission of the campaign. In “Galaxy at War” you cannot use Shepard, instead, you can choose and create multiplayer characters from all races with their own speciality. There is also items, equipments, and exclusive skill trees for your multiplayer characters.

Overall, the game is going to be unbelievably awesome and kicks asses. There are exclusive pre-order bonuses if you are interested. Pre-ordering at GameStop will give you N7 Defender Armor and Valkyrie Rifle free, while pre-ordering at EA Origin will net you the awesome M55 Argus Assault Rifle and AT-12 Raider Shotgun, made for busting aliens. If you want free extra contents for Mass Effect 2, spare your time to play and finish Kingdom of Amalur’s demo that was released on January 17th. And the demo of Mass Effect 3 will be available for download on Valentine’s Day this year.

BioShock Infinite Features Classical Hardcore in ‘1999’ Mode


After deciding to implement new elements to BioShock Infinite such as the permanent choices of skills, Ken Levine has unexpectedly announced a new game mode called ‘1999’ mode. The mode itself resembles hardcore mode where everything is hard, everything is punishing, everything is relentless. Ken Levine of Irrational Games stated that this mode is created to return the thrilling, rapid-heart-thump-inducing element of survival horror.

The mode is called ‘1999’  based from the year when Ken Levine’s first game, System Shock 2 was released. System Shock 2 is a mix of first-person shooter and RPG similar to BioShock, just with harder, merciless difficulty. Irrational Games is trying to bring back that merciless difficulty to lengthen the lifespan of the game for hardcore players that can’t get enough of vanilla BioShock Infinite. Every step you have stepped and everything you have done, you cannot undo it. Just a little mistake can incredibly affect your entire playthrough. In ‘1999’ mode, Ken Levine wants to introduce a job-like system in BioShock where you only can upgrade your skill specifically only on one skill tree. Meaning, when you choose to master handguns, when you stumbled upon a shotgun, you won’t do any good with it. The hardcore ‘1999’ mode gives you choices and you have to react carefully to it and choose the best possibility for you by looking from your style of play.

Back in System Shock 2, ammunition is extremely limited. You cannot simply run-and-gun, get into some shooting actions all-guns-blazing without getting yourself screwed later. Every bullet you waste in vain takes part in your suffering for the next hours of the game. The job-like system also prompts you to use and take advantage of your selected weapon as good as you can. Failing to do so leads to game over.

Ken Levine and Irrational Games insanely put this mode in BioShock Infinite to satiate the hunger for challenging difficulty for certain gamers. The ‘1999’ mode is not gonna be instantly available in the game. You have to do or achieve something before you can possibly play the unrelenting hardcore mode. It is either locked by codes or game finish. The developer does not want some random curious dudes to get severe frustration and depression by either accidentally or play the mode out of curiosity.

If you love BioShock and challenges, the ‘1999’ mode will not disappoint you. It packs quite a punch to your face. The fear of doing something wrong and limited resources make the survival horror. BioShock Infinite will be released sometimes this year without an exact date. Make sure that you have everything prepared for this game so that you won’t regret if the game is suddenly released out of nowhere. And don’t forget to prepare extra cash and extra controllers for substitution just in case you got yourself overwhelmed with frustration and rage. I believe that the classical hardcore ‘1999’ mode will involve trophies and achievements, which I really love because it spices up the game like crazy. I cannot wait for BioShock Infinite!
