Enter The Mad House

Advantages: Well animated, Fights are glorious!
Disadvantages: Detective mode feels too much like cheating

...on it actually. Anyway... Batman: Arkham Asylum (BAA) sees you play as Batman on Arkham Island. Basically you've taken the Joker in to be locked up, he escaped and now he's running the place. Action Bits BAA isn't really about all out fighting and going in with all guns balzing. The majority of the game will see you sitting on a pillar and launching down at your enemy - or using one of the many gadgets (like the batmarang) to take 'em out. ...
...insane creatures equipped with some nice weapons Batman's swift movements will take them down easily. The fighting animations are very smooth and Batman looks as though he's not even breaking a sweat. Detective Mode This feature basically gives you x - ray vision - You'll be able to see enemies through walls and such. This mode is very useful when you're perching on a balcony and want to target an enemy but it does feel a bit like cheating ...

Review of Batman: Arkham Asylum (PC)

OVERLORD PC

Advantages: You will keep playing it for healthy period
Disadvantages: Very high requirements even though, in some countries its cover says something else

The game is evil alright ! you start from a destroyed castle with a side kick cute goblin, and another cute joker goblin to practice your fighting skills on even though later in the game you have access to gladiator arena. The story line is great and fun, basically you want to be EVIL ! but instead you help people in a evil way and people are the main source of your missions from time to time, not just that you can create armies of different kinds ...
...powers.The games graphics are great, sounds are also great, but I dont understand why have they rated it to be difficult, I personally did not find it to be complex or difficult its a simple game with a load of fun, the only downside is that it cannot run on computers slower then 1.0 Gs, 256 Ram, 128 VGA ! ...

Review of Overlord (PC)

Makes you really feel lost

Advantages: Based of an exciting Tv show
Disadvantages: poor graphics , poor depiction of actors, no coherent storyline, simplistic puzzles and gameplay

Lost, that is how you will feel after a short while playing this TV series based game. I found this explorer based action game to be both slow and cumbersome in it's overall presentation and performance. The overall experience trying to immerse you into the world of Lost was poorly designed graphically, poorly detailed character wise and had few puzzle games that made any logical sense. The primary issue with this game was the fuzziness to the graphics, ...
...of the show, enough to almost recognize them, but poor enough to not be sure. The second issue was with the black smoke entity, you spend to much time trying to hide in bamboo stands that you cannot really enjoy the game play itself. Finally , they do not capture any of the intense confusion and non-understanding of the show's plot with this game, it is just a random collection of poorly thought out puzzles, item gathering and random disjointed conversations ...

Review of Lost: The Video Game (PC)

Assassins Creed: awesome game

Advantages: graphic and sounds
Disadvantages: gameplay

First of all, I would like to thank the publishers of the game for creating such a wonderful game. when i first played it was very exiting but then as you advance in the game it kinda bore me. You just have to keep on repeating the routine you've done in the first place. Like looking for the highest or tallest building to observe your surrounding, saving citizens, etc.. but i like how they came up with the story and the assassination thingy is cool ...

Review of Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut (PC)

GTA Vice City

Advantages: More interaction between civilians, tighter storyline, better graphics than GTA3
Disadvantages: Awkward controls for drivebys

Vice City takes place prior to GTA3. You take on the role of Tommy Vercetti, a Mafia hitman who has just been released from prison. Shortly after this you are to make a drug deal on behalf of your Mafia family, the Forrellis. Unfortunately the deal goes bad and you lose the cocaine and the money so you set out to retrieve both. The stoyline in VC is much tighter than that of GTA3. The style of play of GTA Vice City is very similar to that of GTA3. ...
...buy buildings which you're able to enter and new missions will be unlocked when you do. There are also more weapons and vehicles (motorbikes etc). Although the game is set on islands your character cannot swim so you'll have to be very careful about how far into the water you go. The controls on the PC are near perfect apart from when driving. Performing a driveby using the mouse is terrible. Graphically the game was very good for its time and you'll ...
