Advantages: New Officers | Story | Original Extras | Skills | Action | Strategy
Disadvantages: Not Good Without Orginal Samurai Warriors | Graphics

...This is a review on the expansion pack to one of Koei's newest saga's called Samurai Warriors Xtreme Legends, though the name is quite deceiving as in fact there are no Xtreme or Legends mode in this game unlike the Dynasty Warriors Xtreme Legends, but the enhancements they have made with the expansion pack is still good enough to have a play. Produced by W-Force and created by Koei, this is one game that you do not want to miss out on if you are a fan of the Sengoku Muso era. So, some of you now are probably wandering what is Samurai Warriors? Well it is set in ancient Japan, where clan's have formed to try and gain control of the land and become the sole ruler of it for either peace or to cause more chaos. Unlike in Dynasty Warriors, there are loads of clan's in this, many of them are small clan's that rise up to be known as hero... Read review

...The Dynasty Warriors series continues with this newest edition, Dynasty Warriors 5. Each of the Dynasty Warriors games are very much the same as each other, with subtle changes and extras. General Overview The storylines as you would expect are very similar to those of the earlier games, with the battles having the same ideas from the previous games. However each character has their unique musou storyline. Meaning that you may do the same maps as another character, due to being in the same dynasty, but the storyline will fit itself around your character in particular. Characters will even have their own unique cut scenes and ending cinematic which look quite impressive at times too. This also makes the storyline more interesting as it has you at the centre of it and adapts to make you look good. Speaking of the characters, most... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic action movie, strong cast, excellent story, exceptional character interaction.
Disadvantages: The movie was edited/cut to pieces - cant wait for the Directors cut version.

...I was completely blown away when I first saw this movie, what started out as an adventure movie about a group of Norsemen and an Arab turned into an amazing story about how a group of very strong and unconventional warriors, meet on the journey of life and join forces to defeat an inhuman enemy on the adventure of a life time. Everything about this movie is fantastic from the choice of actors, some famous and some unknown, their acting and portrayal of a warrior race ( the Norsemen ) that is very much at odds with what we think we know or have been told about them and the very story itself, the defeat of a sick, perverse pagan religious cult who commit human sacrifice and cannibalism. Although there is lots of action and fighting in the film, this is not the main element of why I recommending it, the real bonus and must see... Read review

Advantages: Great Picturisation, Good Music
Disadvantages: What was AB Doing...

...“Warriors never die…They Live for ever…” Since the ages, the epic saga of king’s brutality or the fight of good against evil has fascinated directors all around the world. Benhur was a fascinating display of costume drama and has been the most cherished king…Saga. The best of these kinds of movies are the fantastic Orchestra of music, the horse stunts and the beautiful photography. But the negative part is they tend to become slow at times. Behind the Scene… Thirteenth Warrior directed by John McTiernan based on the novel by Michael Crichton’s “Eaters of the Dead” is good, surprisingly fast paced movie compared to Braveheart and Gladiator. Though, this movie can’t be compared to Braveheart, it does has its own fair bit of fantastic and good moments. Story... Read review

...Another day, another Dynasty, or so it would seem. Rewind back to 2005, and the series that has seen more sequels and spin-offs than Halloween and Friday The 13th put together has just seen the release of its 'fifth' iteration - that is, the fifth 'main' Dynasty Warriors title. Having become something of a gaming sensation in recent years, Dynasty Warriors is the very definition of gaming marmite; you'll either hate it for its repetitive nature or love the simple, addictive action that feels like an old-skool arcade game dressed in spangly next-generation clothing. The question is - what's different from before? Dynasty Warriors 5 is a third-person hack 'n' slash title set on a rather grand scale. Third century China is the setting, with the demise of the Han plunging the realm into chaos, as the country is subsequently split... Read review
