Gears of War - Top Game.

Advantages: Great offline and online content, awesome graphics.
Disadvantages: Some online.

...Now I've decided NOT to "over-do" this review, since I'm sure you guys (and gals!) want to go off and read another review or something. So I hope you will find this a great read. -------------------------Background of Gears of War----------------------------- Gears of War was released in the US on the 7th of November 2006 and later released in the UK on the 17th of November. Upon prior release, it was the most talked about game, this was the ultimate game that every person should get once released, and that's exactly how it was. It sold over 3 million copies in its first few months of release, and that figure as now reached 6+ million total copies throughout the world. it still has over 1 million active players online, possibly countless more in total. I picked up this game with 2 others, when i first bought my Xbox...

Review of Gears of War (Xbox 360)

A mediocre Star Wars game at best

Advantages: Good representation of the tv series, kids will find some enjoyment in it
Disadvantages: Repetitive gameplay, loose controls, generally very rough around the edges

...Heroes is set in the Clone Wars tv series world, and effectively sees you playing the roles of various characters in what could very easily be untold episodes from the series itself. You never control any one character for very long, and will find yourself playing as a lot of different Jedi as well as clone troopers. Functionally there is little difference between the different characters, but it just goes to show that rather than focusing on one character, the game chooses to focuses on a wider plot spread over three Acts, and puts you in the shoes of numerous characters. Which is no bad thing in principle, and indeed fans of the tv show will no doubt welcome this approach. In terms of the graphics, Republic Heroes certainly won?t bowl you over with its graphical prowess, and indeed the graphics are nothing special. However, they are...

Review of Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes (PS3)

Good online war game

Advantages: Good online game
Disadvantages: Takes some getting used to

...The Call of Duty series continues to impress with this addition to the family. World at War is set during World War two, the story mode takes you through many different historic battles fighting as a character from the many different countries involved such as American, Russian, German and Japan. You move through each level fighting alongside your squad members, which are controlled by the computer. There is a fantastic choice of weapons through the game, all in line with what was used in WW2 as well as the well as the clothing and scenery. This together with great graphics and user friendly controls gives a very realistic war game indeed. The one player mode only scratches the surface of what this shooter has to offer. Going online really opens up a world of options giving this game a lifespan perhaps 100 fold of what any...

Review of Call of Duty 5: World at War (PS3)

Gears of War - Best game ever?

Advantages: Countless hours of variable online gameplay - Can't get board
Disadvantages: Too many people who quit online!!!

...This is in my opinion, along with many others, the best game in the Xbox 360. It's........... Gears of War Background of Gears of War If anyone here is a gamer then you have probably heard of Gears of War, if you haven't then I hope you enjoy what I'm going to say. Gears of War was released on the 17th of November 2006 in the UK but as usual it was released 10 days earlier in the US, typical. Prior to its release it was the most hotly anticipated game on the Xbox 360 as most of the other games before it hadn't really succeeded. It sold over 3 million copies in its first 10 weeks, and that figure as now reached 4.5 million total copies as of January 2008. I was surprised to one day see on Xbox.com that Halo 3 had overtaken Gears of War and has now sold over 8 million copies, this is something I just do not get...

Review of Gears of War (Xbox 360)

World at War Great Game Of The Year!!

Advantages: * Gritty, exciting story * Same excellent multiplayer system
Disadvantages: * Familiar setting * Familiar game mechanics

...Call of Duty: World at War has arrived just over one year from its earlier game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as released, Modern Warfare met with outstanding critical playing and World at War is likey to receive similar attention because it is very similar, in one sence this is a good thing, World at War reserves a lot of element that made Modern Warfare great, to weapons, mature fast pase action and deep engaging multiplayer system. In another sense this feel on simulatity works against World of War, though the new WWII error campaign is emotional and exiting,there's no getting away from the fact this is formilure territory for anyone who's played first person shooters before, another of a few noble weapons, the flame thrower, and the bayenette. Most of the other weapons (been there done that) feel, while World at War is refined...

Review of Call of Duty 5: World at War (Xbox 360)

The true war game

Advantages: Immense graphics and gameplay
Disadvantages: Requires a very fast computer

...The first game in the total war series brought a new age to strategy gaming. Shogun total war brought a new level of strategy gaming to the computer world. The graphics were shoddy and the game play was full of glitches but none the less it showed the world the true capability of computer programmers. Several years later, and after thousands of technilogical advances, the total war team bring us this new far improved world. Medieval Total War 2 focuses on the european medieval world. An age full of war, fear and destruction. The likes of which have never been seen in a game. The game provides real insight into the medieval world with its astonishing graphics and attention to detail. The units are intelligent and respond well to orders in a sensible fasion, unlike some earlier games. The UI players are far more tactically adept...

Review of Medieval II: Total War (PC)

The console war is over and this is the runner-up!

Advantages: A great console, got some good technology in there, great online!
Disadvantages: Overheats, creates too much sound, online costs too much!

...Live!! Games There are a lot of Xbox exclusive games that are so brilliant it may be possible to get an Xbox 360 just to play these games!! Such games are Halo 3, which will be coming out soon, and also Gears of War! There are also many other brilliant games that are out for the 360, but since this is a review on the console and not the games, I wont go into so much detail about them! Which is the superior console? Well, personally, I believe that the Playstation 3 is the superior console at the moment in a number of factors, but the 360 does beat it in a few factors! For example, price! The Xbox 360 is much cheaper than what the PS3 is at the moment! Although then you have to think, the online service you are getting on the PS3 is free, and you are getting a much larger amount of technology with the PS3! There are a lot...

Review of War Rock (PC)

Star Wars Arcade Game

Advantages: Some of the levels with the addition of cheats can be great fun, Stays true to movie
Disadvantages: Basic controls, Limited manoeuvrability

...Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace is a game for the original Playstation and is based around the events of the movie. The game puts you in a third person perspective in 1 of 4 characters throughout the duration of the game, as well as this you will get a selection of several different weapons at your disposal. The game starts just as the movie does when you are put in the control of Jedi Padawan, Obi Wan Kenobi in his younger years as him and his master, Qui Gon battle their way through a ship after an attempted assassination on their lives. Much like in the movie, you can use the Jedi?s choice of weapon, a lightsaber as well as using the powers of the force.

Review of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (PlayStation)

Star Wars D20 Role Playing Game

Advantages: Uses a widely known system
Disadvantages: Not the best SW version

...and Mon Calamari. Since SW is a human-centric game, this is a minor point. The Force is handled by special feats and skills that only Force-Sensitive characters may use. Thankfully, any character can become force sensitive. Anyone familiar with earlier editions of SW will quickly recognize the Force rules. Control, Sense, Alter, Force points, Dark side points, extra damage for lightsabers, etc. No real changes here. Starship combat is handled much the same way as earlier editions, too. Instead of rolling 4D6 for piloting maneuvers, we roll d20+skill. Everything else is pretty much the same. Hull ratings, shield ratings, attack and piloting bonuses for specific ships, etc. It's all here. Fundamental Problem Star Wars is a game about "The Good Guys". In older editions of the game, a Dark Side character became province of the GM and was no...
