Left 4 Dead

2009-04-24T11:00:00.000-07:00

Zombie Can Running!
Left 4 Dead destroy old myths circulating in the world zombie game that must be run with the slow and difficult to kill.

What a game must have a good story and complex to be an interesting game that is played? Maybe a lot of gamers who think so. Then, how do you explain the game without a story, like Zuma, Bejeweled, and Cake Mania can be played without a lot of bored by gamers? The game is basically just play the game of the same from one level to the next level. Thus, the game is actually a good story and does not require the involvement of emotions during PLAYERS form he has a good game!

Left 4 Dead's most difficult to follow formula for making a game is. Because, make a game with a good game is much more difficult than making the story made, and the 3D view is the best though. The main purpose of the game is basically just to emphasize the ability to survive from one points to other points on the cooperation with three other people.

Stories that you find in this game may seem superficial. You will only be given a little picture that a city has been infected with rabies virus is dangerous to create a population of wild creatures do not have awareness (referred to as infected). You will portray one of four people who are immune to the virus (called Survivor). Origin of the virus itself does not explain, but you can see the story about the circumstances surrounding area through any posts in the wall (which is enough to read and interesting).

Because the infected person is in fact normal, then you can easily kill him with rifle fire. The problem is, they usually attack the position of your group (up to 30 infected can be attacked from various directions), and they ran with the attack in several waves of attacks. The attack group was called Horde. In addition, the infected be assisted by a character called Boss infected. They are infected has evolved into a killer machine with a unique ability.

You can find Boss divided into a Smoker, Hunter, Boomer, Tank, and Witch. They all have special abilities, such as a trap far from the character (Smoker), spring (Hunter), reject the presence of liquid Horde (Boomer), a tremendous strength (Tank), and should not bother you if the Witch did not want to die. Their presence is made more egregious by the sound made when you are around. For example, Hunter sounds like a beast of prey who weep and make a Witch who is very afraid.

As mentioned before, your task in a game that met this enemy is to survive from one points to other points. Points is called a Safe Room. The room is marked by a red door gives you the opportunity to fill the bullet and treat the characters you use the Medical Kit. Since the number of Medical Kit that very few of the game, you can use your own to treat other characters that require more risk to the safety of your own.

Because this game is a collaboration between the players, then you should play it with your friends via Internet or LAN network. Unfortunately, the game is not very friendly to the players who want to play LAN with LAN lobby menu is provided. Fortunately, you can use some of the console that we include in this article to create your own sessions to play LAN without Internet connection and Steam installation program on your computer.

Finally, this exciting game to be played repeatedly for the position of occurrence of the infected, which is always random. In addition, you can play against another friend (four men and the rest Survivor Boss infected) using the strain versus map.

Playing Tricks With Command Console LAN
Poor are Left 4 Dead for the players through a LAN network that can be assisted with some of the commands entered through the console. Here's how:

Activate the console by selecting "Options | Keyboard / Mouse | Enable Developer Console".
On the main menu, press ~ key on your keyboard (the button is located on the left side of the 1 key) to open the console screen.

Wheelman

2009-04-24T03:45:00.000-07:00

Wheelman is a ridiculous spectacle that never fails to capture the feel of a Vin Diesel blockbuster.

I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of Vin Diesel. My favorites of his roles include him getting sniped in Saving Private Ryan, and playing a big dumb robot in Iron Giant. Still, I do have a soft spot for the absurd stunts in xXx and The Fast and the Furious; Wheelman perfectly imbues the feel of those two movies. It's as if Dominic Toretto and Xander Cage made sweet sweet love, and the resulting bastard man-child not only inherited their "extreme" attitudes, but also looked exactly like them (at least in polygonal form).

In Wheelman, you take control of Milo Burik (obviously modeled after, and portrayed by, Diesel). Milo has recently arrived in Barcelona seeking information, and in the process becomes entangled in a city-wide gang war. Milo refers to himself as a "wheelman," an expert driver who can do the impossible. While in a car, Milo can perform some fantastic moves, such as the Airjack or the Vehicle Attack. For the former, our protagonist leaps from his moving vehicle to propel himself hundreds of feet, lands inside an enemy car, and then takes control without losing momentum. The latter is where, with a simple flick of the right analog stick, Milo smashes his car into the enemy. To further the gratuitousness, kills made with this move will also slow down time, highlighting every flying body and piece of explosive carnage.

Wheelman rewards your propensity for destruction with more gameplay mechanics. As Milo speeds up and causes mayhem, he steadily gains Focus. With a full Focus meter, the player can then take advantage of special moves. The most basic one is a quick burst of speed -- however, there are also attack skills, such as Aim Shot and Cyclone. When using both of these moves, time briefly slows down, the camera zooms in over Milo's shoulder, and the windshield turns into a shooting gallery -- with the cars becoming ducks with bull's-eyes painted on them. Shooting these bull's-eyes (which typically indicate weak spots such as the engine) usually results in the enemy vehicle instantly disintegrating from a single bullet.

Unfortunately, even these amazing tricks aren't enough to boost the game's tedious mission-based system. As a wheelman, Milo must perform odd jobs ranging from escorting VIPs to killing thugs and smashing property. The missions start piss-poor easy (it's near-impossible to fail them without trying), but then they suddenly spike to feeling needlessly-difficult. One particular annoying mission involves saving a thug, Miguel, who had the misfortune of having a bomb strapped to his body.

The original goal is to play hide-and-seek with the cops -- taking back roads and keeping out of the authorities' view -- until Miguel wakes from his daze. As soon as you clear the police's patrol zone, the gangster wakes up and the bomb starts ticking. Your job then has you rush him to a bomb expert on the double. Here's where it gets more annoying: unfortunately, the location never actually appears on your map; instead you have to wait for audio queues from Miguel himself. To make matters worse, Miguel often forgets where to go, and babbles about other subjects instead, all while an invisible clock ticks down towards mission failure. I'd fail the mission a number of times due to things such as missing one turn, going too slowly, or getting caught slightly within the cops' peripheral vision.

Other minor problems include absurd physics goofs. How is it that I can plow through stone walls and turn trees into Snickers bars, but can be helplessly stuck on a cardboard box? "Dead" enemies also occasionally glitch back onto their feet and briskly walk away from their demise. Yet despite these technical flaws, Wheelman's amazing fun comes from exploring the open world of Barcelona, driving to strange locations, and causing chaos in the city. It easily invokes feelings of Burnout Paradise with elements of Grand Theft Auto thrown in to boot.

If you're looking for just having some dumb fun driving in a big sprawling city, smashing and shooting every last thing in your way, then Wheelman is a great pick. However, it never even attempts to reinvent the wheel from any other free-roaming action-adventure. Then again, you could say that is a pretty accurate portrayal of Vin Diesel's movie career.

Ninja Blade

2009-04-24T03:32:00.000-07:00

Ninja Blade For XBOX.

The comparisons were inevitable. Releasing a ninja-based game after Ninja Gaiden 2 (and, to a much lesser extent, after Tenchu Z) on Xbox 360 is akin to releasing a first-person shooter in which the main character, "Master Chef," drives around in his "Warhog" blowing the "Government" to pieces. It might just seem a tad too familiar. That's not to say that Ninja Gaiden 2 was so all-encompassing that no other action game could or should scratch out its own niche on the console. But as that legendary philosopher Everlast once said, "If you come to battle, bring a shotgun." Ninja Blade brings no such shotgun.

The Ninja Blade premise is basically this: Infected "Carriers" of all shapes and sizes invade Tokyo, and you, as ninja-mazing protagonist, Ken, are tasked with taking them down using all manner of ninja weapons and techniques. Sounds good, right? An action game that hinges upon a simple but effective concept like this can be an interesting enough time-killer (see also: Gungrave, Shinobi). And considering that the team responsible for Ninja Blade's development are essentially the same folks that brought us the highly-regarded Otogi series on Xbox, you'd be forgiven for expecting an innovative, action-packed game experience. What Ninja Blade delivers, however, is altogether different.

To be fair, Ninja Blade does pack a lot of action into its linear set of tightly scripted missions. The caveat is that the action's focus splinters in disjointed directions. Some might say the game is filled with 'variety,' but really it's just a hodgepodge of varying game styles that sets you in a specific groove and then switches gears when you start to get comfortable. An excellent case in point is the very first stage, which serves not only as a tutorial, but also as a glimpse of what's to come. At first you're taught standard things like how to switch weapons on the fly, run up or along walls, and use "Ninja Vision," but things take a quick turn for the worse when you're shown how to perform 'Todomé' finishing moves. These finishers highlight the game's almost unprecedented focus on quick time events.

For the handful of worthwhile things that Ninja Blade has to offer -- namely a sharply realized game world, in which most of the high-flying battles take place against a palette of Tokyo skyscrapers -- clichéd game mechanics quickly overwhelm the game's pros. Despite the development team's pedigree, this is the most derivative game that Masanori Takeuchi's crew has ever delivered. The worst element by far is the preponderance of QTEs, which have -- since the original Shenmue -- made an unusually strong resurgence in modern gaming culture (read: Heavenly Sword, Resident Evil 5, etc.). Over 25 years ago, back in the days of Dragon's Lair, the original QTE game, it was a worthwhile innovation, but it was still a shallow mechanic that shared more in common with simple reflex games like "Simon," than actual "proper" video game controls. To be featured so prominently in Ninja Blade smacks of lazy game design. Have developers faltered to the point where simply pressing a pre-set sequence of buttons during a boss battle is considered better than a more elegant, strategic showdown? In Ninja Blade it's more perplexing than that.

You would think that, given the game's 'hardcore' nature, Ninja Blade would offer a fresh challenge to those who had long since conquered Ninja Gaiden 2. Instead, the QTEs make it nearly impossible to fail. The game throws the occasional curveball; you may be expecting to press A, X, or Y, but will suddenly be prompted to press left on the analog stick, for example. But in the event you fail to avoid a giant tentacle worm boss's crashing attack, Ninja Blade will simply rewind (in similar fashion to the most recent Prince of Persia) to the point just prior to your demise, offering you the chance to try again. The QTE sequence might change slightly (from X, X, X to A, A, A), but it's like being given a second chance on a test after you've already seen the answers. It feels like From Software designed Ninja Blade to be "My First Ninja Game," which is totally at odds with its actual target audience.

In its favor, the overuse of QTEs does lend Ninja Blade a cinematic feel, since you're basically pressing buttons to jump from dynamic cut-scene to dynamic cut-scene for what feels like 50% of the game. But if you were looking for a meatier play experience and not an interactive ninja-movie, consider yourself warned. Padding the QTE segments are an endless series of shell-shocked environments filled with shambling, zombie-like Carriers. With their limited A.I., they're little more than weapon fodder from whom you gain levels and accrue health and chi pieces, blood crystals, and Shinobi Moji, which can all be used to customize Ken and improve his attributes. The Carriers vary in type, requiring you to switch Ken's weapons on occasion and offering some semblance of strategy (your heavy, two-handed broadsword is much more adept at crushing the shield-bearing Carriers you face). The good times are short-lived, though, as the QTEs eventually rear their ugly heads again (or an out-of-place machine gun turret segment throws in an unwelcome interruption).

Despite the limited enjoyment found in figuring out how to kill the game's enemies, none of the tired, tentacle-porn clichés conjured here are of that much interest. The irony is that, even though it's an "action" game, Ninja Blade's tepid, barely interesting plot is actually more enjoyable than any of the combat tossed your way. The handful of unlockable costumes and weapons do little to encourage repeat visits into Ken's quick time world.

The Godfather 2

2009-04-24T03:22:00.000-07:00

The Godfather helped get me this job -- seriously.

I wrote a strategy guide for the first game and because of that I was hired as an intern, promoted to staff writer a year after that, and now, I'm in charge of MyCheats. It's like I worked my way up from the bottom to become Don of a website...or something like that. When EA announced Godfather II, they hyped the sequel's heightened strategy elements, so, naturally, I considered paying my respects by putting together a new guide. But I neither found the game to be difficult nor the strategy very involved; and considering Godfather II holds your hand through the entire experience, it's nearly impossible to make a mistake -- so we passed on the guide. But is it any better than its predecessor? Sort of.

Gone are the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, "minor characters made big," moments from the first game. From the onset you are placed in control of your own "family." These hired guns each carry a special trait that they excel in: lockpicking, muscle, medic, bombs, or arson. Expanding your "business" by taking over rival rackets, yields performance bonuses for your crew (extra ammo, brass knuckles, etc.); and you'll be allowed to bring more "made men" into your family, as well as upgrade their traits and weapons throughout the game. This doesn't mean you have to micromanage every mission, though; you can sit back and dispatch your soldiers into the world -- they're capable of taking over rival businesses on their own. But as well as Godfather II works to give you control of your family, it fails to create a living, believable world. Each city's denizens, and the "favors" they ask of you, abruptly shift the game's tone from rich and cinematic to unintentionally comedic.

The easiest way to make money early on is to do "favors" for people in the street, favors that vary from blowing up or smashing a business (or someone's face) to breaking into a safe. Within only a few blocks' radius, you can easily take on a dozen missions. It throws you knee deep into a criminal underworld that highlights the general public's low regard for human life, but it doesn't make much sense when those same people call the cops because they see you steal a car. Hypocrites. Adding insult to injury, many of the businesses these strangers task you with robbing, blowing up, or destroying, are businesses YOU own. The game even makes light of the situation in the favors menu screen; the game tells you that "it's only business" when you have to steal from yourself. You can opt out of these missions, but it's the most efficient way to make money in the game. Instead, the nonsensical, situation makes your character look more like a dumbass than a Don, and that makes the game hard to take seriously.

Still, the game does get a couple things right that other sandbox-esque titles should take notes on. The targeting system lets you easily lock onto enemies with the left trigger and shoot with the right -- a feature that's especially helpful in interior combat situations. The "made men" who accompany you are excellent shots in and out of a vehicle, and they do a great job of watching your back. Also, the interior designs of all the buildings you visit are varied enough that it doesn't feel like you're playing through the same warehouses time and time again.

Ultimately, Godfather II suffers from a lack of design foresight. Instead of delivering a movie-quality narrative, it presents a frustrating, accidentally comic world. In one pivotal cut-scene, your character even gets shot, point-blank, in the face, but no one offers any real explanation as to how you survive. And once you reach the game's half-way point, you lose a large number of the businesses and rackets you've built up -- artificially lengthening the game. Coming from such believable source material, Godfather II asks you to accept a too implausible experience.

Company of Heroes : Tales of Valor

2009-04-24T03:14:00.000-07:00

Let's back up a bit: Company of Heroes has a great track record to date.

The original game rightfully holds the title of "best WWII game that isn't Call of Duty 2." And its first expansion, Opposing Fronts, is a damn fine example of what expansions should be. It provides more of COH's fantastic gameplay, and then enhances it with new additions (via the British and Panzer Elite armies) and shorter, yet more-focused single-player campaigns. By all rights, Tales of Valor should also be a homerun for Relic, with a feature list that includes three new multiplayer modes, new units for each army, new multiplayer/skirmish maps, and three new campaigns.

These features sound great on paper, but are underdelivered, and ultimately, a bit disappointing in execution. It's not that this expansion is "bad", but that it's not nearly as good as the previous one. And the main reason is that it feels like TOV delivers a tease of a great expansion, as opposed to a complete and great finished product.

The three campaigns (Tiger Ace, Causeway, and Falaise Pocket), each introduce new features. They tend to feel a bit more like Dawn of War II -- due to their focus on managing smaller, persistent forces -- than COH, but that's okay. It's good to have variety. I had fun managing a single tank crew, and deciding which crew member to level up as the tank gains experience. It's cool to use the new Direct Fire feature, and directly control what my tank fires at. I liked managing just two small (yet very distinct, with a specific technology tree and ability set for each) squads of Airborne soldiers to valiantly defend a single stretch of land. And I enjoyed the stress and tension of dispatching various Luftwaffe squads to protect 10 vulnerable Panzers from incoming Airborne squads.

As much as I liked those aspects, I didn't like finishing each campaign in less than two hours. COH has a grand American campaign, and Opposing Fronts provided two smaller, but still meaty, campaigns (the British and the Panzer Elite). With TOV, the game only throws you three campaigns of three missions each. Basically, just as you get a good grasp of the new mechanics, and get into the well-designed scenarios that Relic provides, you're done. Because the content and gameplay of these campaigns are really good, it stands out even more just how short and unfulfilling they feel once you reach each one's conclusion.

A similar "this is good, but not nearly enough quantity" feeling comes from the new multiplayer types. You can be glib by summarizing each new mode as something lifted from another game: Assault is TOV's take on Defense of the Ancients, Panzerkreig is TOV's take on the Tank game in Combat for the Atari 2600, and Stonewall is TOV's take on the Horde mode in Gears of War 2. But hey, it's cool to have COH-style makeovers of these other game modes. Running around as a badass sniper, shooting enemy soldiers and bunkers to level up, and attacking the enemy fortress is fun; so is managing a single tank against a bunch of other players in their own customized tanks. Cooperating with buddies against giant waves of enemy soldiers is damn fun as well. It's too bad that these modes are restricted to a single map apiece. I realize this gets into semantics, but they feel less like "three new multiplayer modes" and more like "three new multiplayer maps with very special rules for play." Like the campaigns, these are snazzy, but it becomes annoying when you realize that the modes only work on one map each.

Then there are the new units (which aren't added to the existing armies, so much as they replace existing units within the armies). For example, man, the Schwimmwagen almost feels unfair. It might not be as fast as the Motorcycle it replaces, but the fact that it can drive in reverse, has a better machine gun, and can even drive through water, makes up for its additional cost and lower mobility. The Schwimmwagen replacement is the most drastic of the new units, as most of them are more like tweaked visuals and stats of existing units. Also, the replacements still, on a strategic level, fulfill the same role as what they're replacing; the main difference comes in using/opposing them on a tactical level. They're pretty nifty, but they don't feel meaty enough for what you'd expect in an expansion.

Notice the general theme? Tales of Valor plays and feels more like a mod, or a series of small DLC packs, than an expansion (THQ prices it at $30, which is pushing it a bit). One nice touch is that unlike the previous expansion, this does give you full access to the multiplayer. So if you never picked up COH, but always heard about how great its multiplayer is, this is an easy purchase. Diehard COH multiplayer fans will want this by virtue of being able to use the new units that all the other veteran players will be using with their copies. But the player who either wants a great offline experience, or simply another fantastic COH expansion, might feel a bit cheated and disappointed with how paltry this expansion feels.

Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that Michael Crabtree, Brian Johnson, Brian Orakpo and Mark Sanchez will be featured on platform exclusive covers of EA SPORTSTM NCAA® Football 10, available in stores July 14th.

University of Texas' former defensive end, Brian Orakpo, is featured on the PlayStation®2 cover. In 2008, Orakpo was unanimously selected as a first-team All-American and named the Associated Press Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. In his final season with the Longhorns, Orakpo won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, the Ted Hendricks Award and the Lombardi Award.

Racing Back Streets Found After less popular with Prostreet, Need for Speed again using the theme of street racing is exciting chase by police.

Could not be denied again, the name Need for Speed was the memories of the sticky gamer as a street racing game that uses the coolest car at the time of this. Therefore, when Need for Speed Prostreet is shown as a circuit racing game is far from stubbornness and police sirens, the game is a very hard jolt of its own fans. Look in the mirror of experience, Need for Speed Undercover again using the street racing theme complete with police sirens.

The first impression is caught in the mind when playing this game is a very high similarity with the previous Need for Speed, which is a city that is very hard from the penggemarnya own. Look in the mirror of experience, Need for Speed Undercover again using the street racing theme complete with police sirens.

Basically, you play a city that is divided into three parts. All will open in turns depends on the achievement of your career as a street racing driver. This time, you will act as an undercover police to dismantle luxury car theft syndicate.

However, do not assume your role as undercover police who will alleviate the chase when the police arrest your car wet. In fact, the police can be at this game a little more violent than the previous series. They can change the status chivy easily when your car much harm police colleagues, without depending on the heat you collect. Heat is the level of crime and you will increase when you do damage to public facilities (eg street lighting and other car) and drive the car at high speed.

The race that you can find on a map of the city will be much increase in popularity over you (also called Wheelman Level). Ranking can be improved in a way to win races and collect Zone Point. Points will increase more if you race with a clean way. For example, if you do not have a car crash. In addition to Zone Point, you will also get other drivers to improve skills over time if successful in the race (called the Dominate).

Skill drivers divided in many sections. Each skill is useful to control and improve the performance of the car that you use. At the end of the game, skill will be very useful for the car that your opponent (usually have a performance that is much higher than the standard car with the same type).

The race that you can find some kind of divided, namely the race with some other car (Sprint and Circuit), the race with a car enemy (Highway Battle and Outrun), the time (Checkpoint), and against the police (Escape, Cop Takedown, and Cost to State). In addition, you will also find a special event to continue the story. Usually, you will be asked to bring a car to steal a place while the police chase. Sometimes, you may also be required to destroy the opponent with the car crash repeatedly until he stopped.

Unfortunately, there are quite a shortfall in this game which makes it less interesting than the earlier series. You can not find the shop upgrade the map to the way the street. Stores will also appear along the way the story and levels Wheelman. In addition, the customization of your car and simplified tuning options. This game also has a serious problem with the stability and performance. In addition to crash, you will also decrease the frame rate dramatically when using the rotate 180 degree hand brake, are in the high-speed, and your car, surrounded by police. These still appear even though the PC using a high specification. One again, this game does not have LAN multiplayer (online mode only).

Call of Duty: Worldat War

2009-04-22T06:34:00.000-07:00

Severity the Second World War
Call of Duty: World at War to show the side of an actual war, the forgotten values of humanity.

Series of war game Call of Duty is always able to show the drama of war to be followed to complete. After the success of Call of Duty 4 modern war carries the theme, Call of Duty: World at War to return to the root of this game series, the second world war. This game also shows the successful high-quality games with the emotions involved in that exciting!

This Game still using the same pattern as the story of Call of Duty 4, that is to follow the battle through several different people. At a time, you will fight with the United States against the Japanese army in the Pacific war. Then, you will be invited to feel the great battle against the German troops through the eyes of Soviet. All the rope to a story in an interesting and exciting.

One thing notable about the nation's enemies that you opponent is the difference of their attacks. When you fight German soldiers, they are using heavy weaponry and tactics to demolish your position. Therefore, you should always be ready to be caught in the rain grenade, shoot the missile tank, and rocket. Another case with Japanese troops. They are more willing hoof forward with bayonet and die rather than use heavy weaponry. In addition, they also have a lot of traps to finish off your troops. In fact, the Japanese soldiers still dying trying to kill you with a grenade throw and shoot with Gun!

The game on this game does not get a lot of changes, which means compared to Call of Duty game before. As a First Person Shooting game other, this game offers a great selection of weapons that you can use to fight the enemy. However, it does not mean this game does not have an interesting feature. Some interesting features are observable in this game is a secret, called Death Cards, cooperation mode is interesting, and the view that contains a lot of violence.

Some level of a game store called secret Death Card. This is a secret gun in the Plug on the ground and helmet on it. To Death Card can feel when you play in the cooperation mode. Mode gives you the chance to play and work together with friends (up to four people) through the LAN network. Despite some Death Card gives you the assistance, many would make the game and strengthen the enemy.

Some examples such as the Death Card that injured friend with shoot it (simplify the friend who is far from your position), make the enemy can only die when shoot his head, and not make enemies drop weapons or missile! Mode cooperation also has a map which takes you along on a friend's house survived the Nazi zombie army!

In addition to Death Card, you can also increase the rank of the characters you control through several criteria. Example of criteria such as the enemy with a pistol as many as 250 times and 100 times as much as a knife. Each criteria is successful you meet will give the value of experience and ultimately increase your rank.

Level of severity that is displayed on the game this must be quite high. Army brutality against prisoners and the Japanese attitude of Soviet troops against the brutal enemy that is not powerless to make this game get a rating for adult consumption. Moreover, all of that is supported by the 3D display quality is very good and looks close to the real world. Finally, this game is one of the Call of Duty series that you should play.
