Valkyria Chronicles: Underappreciated Genius

Advantages: Excellent story, deep yet accessible gameplay, superb presentation
Disadvantages: Menu system, Occasional AI issues

...a treat. Because simply put, Valkyria Chronicles is one of the very best video games of this generation. Narrative The game begins with a short narration explaining the details of a war that has broken out on the fictional continent of Europa. Yes, it is loosely based off the real world, but the similarities essentially stop there. The two great superpowers, the Empire in the east and the Atlantic Federation in the west, have begun warring ...
...Valkyria universe is used for pretty much everything. Gallia is a small, neutral nation that finds itself with too much Ragnite for the Empire to resist, and so they are invaded. The player assumes the role of Welkin Gunther, a university student studying biology who, together with a member of his home town's watch named Alicia Melchiott, fights off an Imperial attack with his father's old tank, and is subsequently drafted into the national militia. ...

Fallen Angel but still on top!

Advantages: Challenging with a variety of enemies! Top visuals and audio.
Disadvantages: Plot is a little poor!

Better than the P.C version altho there are still a few problems to be solved. You take on the role of a muscly warrior in a medieval fantasy land. Or i suppose you could choose the role of a villain, but hey the choice is yours! With 6 pre-rolled characters to choose from as well as a few other weird warriors! No matter which side you take the aim of the game is to slaughter as many monsters as possible as well as various quests that you will be ...
...little poor at times being a little tedious. The narrative is good but you may find yourself being the narrator at times when there is just music and sound effects as the narrator tends to dissappear for a while from time to time. Nevertheless the assignments and quests will keep you going, the amazing graphics truly bringing them to life. As well as the quests, the character and plot animation are truly 1st class. When battling in a forest, field, ...

Marvel Ultimate alliance PS3

Advantages: Uses all the best Marvel Comic heroes. Fun
Disadvantages: Not exactly stunning graphics. No real gameplay advances

The Marvel universe has lots of characters just crying out to have a game made. Captain America, Daredevil and Deadpool being prime examples. So Activision have answered the prayers of millions of fans and released the Ultimate Marvel fan boy package. Ultimate alliance features a compendium of quite possibly the greatest heroes ever. Using the same game play as the XMEN Legends series, the player must select a team of 4 heroes to go out and save ...
...there. As a fun title it cant be faulted, fans of Marvel will lap it up and every one else will have a great time playing it. That said, the £50 price tag is a little steep and a little more bang for the buck would of been nice. ...

Fallout isn't the big bang expected

Advantages: Good graphics, good array of weapons, simply intiutive controls
Disadvantages: Lots of glitches, seems to want to be 2 things at once and does neither that well

Fallout has courted a lot of controversy even before the games release. The controversy was leveled at the fact that some were accusing various newspapers of deliberately stoking up fear by using graphics from this game to depict a horrendous terrorist attack. The plot for this game however has nothing to do with a terrorist attack but you do enter the heartlands or should I see the wastelands of what was formerly America prior to a nuclear war between ...
...in the horrific aftermath due to the fact that the extremely wealthy were protected by underground vaults. However several generations on from what is now left standing on the earth, your character discovers that his father has gone missing and sets out to find him. Society as we have known it has broken down and so with it has formed a number of groups. There is a working community, a group of bandits, the unfortunates who could not hide from the ...

Greek are us

Advantages: Lots of gore good combat
Disadvantages: Too many lengthy conversions

You play the game as the the famous hero king jason you and your crew which can have such heros as Hercules, Achilles, Perseus and Atalanta must search for the magical golden fleece. The action-Rpg style means you'll be talking to greeks not just choping them up. Mastering both is important to your progress. Engaging in the branching dialogues and god of war-inspired combat will appease the various greek gods. While performing deeds for your ...
...you can be traded to level up your crew and to imbue jason with temporary god like powers. The combat gore is high. Its not a half bad game but has too my lengthy conversions which can really put you off it really shows down the game play. Good luck with your buy. ...
