Batman: Arkham City Review

Okay, I admit it, the past week has been busy for me and it's not because of doing something really productive, I've been addicted to Batman: Arkham City. So, how addicting was it? Lets just say, I always visit Facebook like 20-50 times a day but when I played Batman, it became twice a day (morning and evening before sleeping) - that's how addicted I am to the game. I know this is a bit late but I still want to make a review about it. Don't worry, I won't be biased about this review. Here it goes.

Graphics is awesome! It should be good since it is using Unreal's technology. Tosha (my laptop) really made my day when it played Batman flawlessly. There was just some slow downs in some parts of the game, specially after cut-scenes and you have to fight a lot of enemies. It is probably because of the rendering of all the enemies I was about to face. About the characters, I love the Batman character and the Catwoman looks great too! She is so hot!

Gameplay is another awesome part! I can't believe fighting games can be this realistic. It's like I am watching a Batman movie or better yet Taken but of course the best part was I get to pick who I kick or knock to the ground first. Having played Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell trained me really well in having patience when it comes to knocking down enemies while on a stealth mode. I love creeping on my prey and silently knock them unconscious (though there is a part of me that wants to stick a knife at their back or slit their throat - forgive my violence). It's like I am playing Splinter Cell again but with kick-ass fighting moves. I just hope there\ll be an option where you can interact with the environment like picking up a glass and throwing it on the enemies like how the enemies pick up a fire extinguisher and throw it at me. Oooh! oooh! I love the part where you can catch the stuff the enemy throws at you and throw it back at them.

Actions and Movements is pretty simple too, like most games now - keyboard plus the mouse for action. I love how you can counter an enemies attack using the right-click while using the middle-click to make the enemies dizzy and do your killer combo after that - it was awesome!

The story is awesome too! Playing this game made mo love Batman more. Of all the characters in DC comics, Batman is my favorite and this game just made me love Batman more. Love the twist of the story and the character build-up. I love the story so much. I just finished the part where Joker dies and now I'm playing as Catwoman (ooops! sorry for the spoiler for all those who haven't played it yet). But did Joker really died? Knowing Joker, he has lots of tricks on his sleeves.

Overall, it was a great game so to all who haven't played the game yet. Grab a copy now at your favorite game shop. It is a game worth playing. A worthy of everyone\s game archive. Thanks and hope to see you again on another game review or some tips.

Continent of the Ninth - Game Review

Okay, I've been playing this game for quite awhile now and from my experience, I can never imagine myself getting hooked on an an MMORP game before, this one is a keeper for sure. I've played Ragnarok before but just for the sake of playing it and experience MMORPG but C9 or Continent of the Ninth made a great difference.

At first, it was quite hard to get the hang of it since it was my first time to really grind my teeth on. Exploring the game takes time but you can enjoy the moment in learning the game slowly as your game progress. It was a unique experience for me I should say. The art of Trading and Crafting things for a secondary job on the game itself is something you should or may want to explore. Okay lets start checking each categories.

Marvel: Super Hero Squad Online - Game Review

If you haven't seen or played the game Marvel Super Hero Squad Online then I advise you to play it. Okay, the characters of the game are all SD or Super Deformed. Super Deforming the characters made them look funnier and cute. Usually, SD is done with some anime to make a funny story like the Full Metal Alchemist SD I've seen before. Even Gundam SD was made fun and at the same time cute but that is totally a different story.

Let us focus on Marvel Super Hero Squad Online or MSHSO. The game was based on its animated cartoon show version. I've seen a few episodes while watching with my son and I can't help but laugh. It's funny and also hilarious and that was probably the reason it had a great impact on kids and kids at heart as well. It was also the reason I use it as a theme on my son's 6th birthday.

Bastion: Game Review

Bastion is an RPG game made by Supergiant Games. It is a great RPG game however for me it lacks charisma maybe it is because of what the team Blizzard (Diablo creator) have set as a new standard for RPG games. I've played it for awhile but unable to make a review. So now here is my review for the game.

Graphics was stunningly designed. You can see their artists' love to the game by the quality and detail of the doodads and characters in the game. I must admit that this game inspired me to make a new blog for game reviews only because of the game's art. I love the way they have designed everything.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review

After playing the game Kingdoms of Amalur for more than 24 hours which took me two weeks, I've decided to give The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim a try. My younger brother told me of this game even he hadn't tried it himself yet and when I tried checking the gameplay at Youtube, it looks really good so here is how I find the game. You might need around 6GB of hard disk space for installation.

Graphics was really great. The environment was rendered wonderfully, perhaps better than Kingdoms of Amalur. However, I don't know if you have noticed this but when I tried killing some stray wolves they got stiffed immediately - it's kinda funny and a bit distracting for me. Imagine a wolf or a bear killed by a shock of thunder, that is how I see it. Haven't they heard of the rug-doll effect?

Gameplay feels like Kingdoms of Amalur. The game started with a scene on a carriage full of fellow prisoners which got me quite excited because of the thought that I could be using a horse in this game which is also something new. You may also choose to be an evil and good here. For PC versions, you can even get married to a guy or a gal which is a bit awkward for some so an open-mind is required to play this game.

Sometimes Action and Movements were quite unresponsive specially when you are going through the menus. Probably an update patch will fix this. With regards to attacking enemies, I find it hard to attack an enemy using a mouse and like I said it is quite unresponsive to my clicks or probably a delay. I still like the movements or actions in Kingdoms of Amalur specially when using the new set of weapons like dagger and Faeblades - they're awesome. Standard controls are set to keys "a", "s", "w", "d" for walking around the game. This game I think should be played using a gamepad control when played on a PC coz it sucks to play with your keyboard and mouse. I lost interest after playing for 30 minutes. I am considering to buy a gamepad now for more upcoming game reviews.

Story? Well, I really coundn't say much since I've stopped after 30 minutes of playing. From the looks of it, you are mysteriously connected to the dragon that attacked the prison camp on the first cut-scene. I'm probably going to play this after I bought a game pad. It is a decent game and it's probably a game that you'll either hate or love. If you love games like this and you're not irritated to the game controls then you'll probably love this game.

Kingdom of Amalur - Reckoning Review

Once again I have tested Tosha my mistress Toshiba laptop to it's capability in rendering such a great game. I've been hearing a lot of good reviews about this game so I had to check it out for myself.

Graphics were so stunning, you can almost feel that you are inside the stunningly rendered environment. I really dig the character creator and the model skins.

Gameplay feels almost like Fable but better graphics. I just finished 3 quests and was able to acquire my own house, I wonder if I could also get married and have family like in Fable. You could choose to be good or evil and create your own weapons and potions. 

Actions and Movements are smooth and game is very responsive to its associated keys. Didn't experience game lags whatsoever (another great performance Tosha!).

Story gets a bit complicated when you listen to side quest stories but with regards to the details of the story, it is quite good.

Amazed at Modern Warfare 3

Okay, last time I posted about my new laptop and said that I haven't tried any games yet to test the capability of the laptop I just bought so I did some serious testing. I've been hearing lots of noise about this game called Modern Warfare 3 and it seems pretty high caliber (means require a huge amount of memory) so I tested the laptop with this game.

At first I was a bit hesitant to download the game, anyways it's just to test, so I did download the 16GB game. You can buy this wonderful game at Steam, yes it is truly wonderful! I am amazed at the graphics, the huge maps on every mission and the game itself - of course I felt proud of Tosha (my mistress laptop). The game was smooth and hardly ever lagged. Great performance Tosha!

The controls are like Rainbow Six's controls so for me who's an avid fan of Tom Clancy games, it's like I was playing it for a long time. I still have to check the controls menu to see what other available options are there for me.

I was actually preparing for the most anticipated game Diablo III but if only I knew how great this Modern Warfare 3 is then this would have been my most anticipated game - it is now. I don't have to wait for Diablo III. Well, I'll still wait but while waiting for it, it will be MW3 that conquers my free time. Here is one scene I'd love the most.

Xperia 2's Experiment 13 Review & Download

Sony Ericssons Xperia 2's packed game Experiment 13 was ripped-off and is now playable to other Windows Mobile phones. I am currently playing this great game using Samsung Omnia 2 and it does also work with my wife's HTC HD2.

When I first tried and viewed the game, I was amazed already because of its astounding graphics with 3D acceleration. However, when I first installed it on my Omnia 2 - it wasn't working at all. You have to download a ".dll" - don't worry it did work and quite really well. After downloading the zip file, unpack it and send it to your phone and put it on your Experiment 13's game directory.

Here is a preview of the game.


So here is the download link to the game:
EXPERIMENT 13
Dll to make it work on phones that aren't working.

Enjoy this very cool freeware game!
