Gears of War (PC)

Advantages: Fantastic gameplay and graphics
Disadvantages: Limited weapons

...Gears of War (PC) Having been released over a year ago for Xbox 360 users, Gears of War has finally been brought to the PC, which is fantastic news for PC gamers. I paid £17.90 from PlayTrade on www.play.com in January 2009, and you can now find it for £17.99 on that main Play website itself. Considering the RRP for this game and the price most high-street stores charge for this game is £34.99, play.com once again is the best place to buy games. Gears of War is one of the best games to have hit the Xbox 360, and the same can now be said about the game on the PC. In terms of gameplay, it is the same as the Xbox version, and follows the same storyline, which in iteself is fantastic. You are able to perform various manoeuvres such as crouching behind a wall, rolling, and hiding behind walls, which all enable you to combat...

Guild Wars Nightfall (PC)

Advantages: an attachment to the guild wars series with more characters
Disadvantages: none

...Guild Wars Nightfall is another great RPG game (Role playing game) where this game links to the other two games "Guild wars Prophecies" and "Guild wars Factions". Where this theme is different and special, which the scenery is African jungle, the buildings are like African temples and the armor is like African warriors armor. ( Depending on which characters you play with, because each characters armor will be different due to buying the armor in Guild wars Nightfall's cities.) Guild Wars Nightfall is different than "Guild wars Prophecies" and "Guild wars Factions" because you have two more new characters such as a "Paragon" and a "Dervish", and you still can use the eight original characters from "Guild wars Prophecies" (the six original characters) and "Guild wars Faction" (the two original characters). But now a new edition to...

Review of Guild Wars Nightfall (PC)

Gears of war pc. It's Worth it.

Advantages: Great Graphics and great game.
Disadvantages: Rewuires a strong enough computer to run it

...rate. It certainly looks much better and sharper than the Xbox 360 version of the game, and it does so without looking like the typical console-to-PC translation. The game also comes with a fully featured level editor, another thing you don't typically see in console-to-PC translations. Though some players may still prefer to play it with a gamepad, this feels like a PC game, top to bottom. With a great loadout of weapons, a healthy multiplayer package, and an action-packed story mode, Gears of War is a terrific action game that, even after a full year, still stands apart from the pack. Whether you're a superfan of the first game who is looking for some additional content, or a PC buff who has a mighty enough pc who's been wondering what the console kids have been up to, Gears of War on the PC is most definitely worth your time and money....

Review of Gears of War (PC)

Nice strategy game

Advantages: Nice and easy to master
Disadvantages: Dated compared to the latest releases and no Internet play

...The game is based on fighting the computer run machines trying to outwit them as they do to you/or you can take on the role of the computer and trash the humans. It is very easy to master and play and suitable for the beginner in strategy game playing(but don't expect an easy fight all the time) The graphics are good and the sound reasonable It is worth playing both roles as the scenes are the same but different tactics required. I am somewhat dissapointed that a Wargames 2 hasn't been released but you never know! Anyone who wants a game were you have to think (not to hard)will enjoy this one....

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Advantages: Great multiplayer fun, lots to do
Disadvantages: Slightly Repetetive

...The Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has been with us for a while now, and it hasn't been too badly received either amongst the Wii-mote waving, button bashing members of the public out there, so now that the DS version has finally arrived, should these same gamers still be as excited as they were the first time around? Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games on the DS is certainly not short on features, 16 playable characters have all been included, each of which are split into four categories such speed, skill, power and the all rounder's, therefore you can choose which characters you would prefer to use for each event based on their ability. The game also offers plenty of choice when it comes to events, these range from sprinting, swimming and cycling to more specialist events such as fencing and gymnastics...

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Advantages: Great fun, realistic actions
Disadvantages: Will tire you out easily

...During the 1990s, if you had a games console you would have probably been in one of two camps: Sega or Nintendo. I certainly was rooted firmly in the Sega camp having had a Mega Drive for many, many years with games like Street of Rage, Ecco the Dolphin and of course, Sonic the Hedgehog. I was a huge Sonic fan, playing the first and second game until completion and then starting up again a few days later as I loved everything about it, the colours, the gameplay.... everything. So if you tried to convince me that some 10-15 years later that Sonic and Mario would team up in a game, I probably would have just laughed. Back then it would have been an absurd thought but one that any magazine reviewer or computer game fanboy would have only dreamed about. Well January 2008 saw this realisation with the release of Sonic & Mario...

The Ultimate War Strategy

Advantages: Ultimate War Strategy
Disadvantages: Internet Games Sometimes Disrupted

...handle. The game also offers scenario based or skirmish for single player games. The scenario games are very good and offer the player three levels of difficulty as either allies or soviets. The skirmish game is just out and out war againt a number of computer opponents (1..7) The skirmish game is great way to practice your tactics before you take on an opponent on the internet but i would suggest that you should be able to beat the computer on medium level before you play somebody otherwise you will definately not be good enough to beat anybody on the net. There is also a LAN network option which is great fun, however I have noticed that this is surprisingly slow compared to the single player and internet games. In summary I would say this game is unrivalled in terms of war simulation for the games market. The graphics are...

Advantages: variety of games to play
Disadvantages: Slow loading

...Mario & Sonic at the olympic games was the first game i bought after getting a Wii for christmas. I personally think that it is an excellent first game to get for the Wii.

These events include; *"Swimming" *"Archery" *"Running" *"Hurdles" *"Long jump" *"Triple jump" *High jump" *"Pole vault" *"Hammer throw" *"Javeline throw" *"Epée" *"Trampoline" *"Vault" *"Rowing" *"Skeet" *"Tennis" So as you can see by this list you have a wide variety to choose from but you also have the options of unlocking different games, this can be done by breaking records and so on.
