You all want a review of the Spore Creature Creator? Well head on over here and scroll down to read my take on it. I say controversial things like:
the Creature Creator can be considered to be a game in and of itself
And also get accused of ‘playing god.’ Read I say!
Race Driver GRID, what a game. It is a game that drove me to write nearly 2000 words in my review of it, that is pretty hefty for me! I start of like this.
What happens when a game tries to combine two different play styles? The simple answer is that the game will either crash and burn, or become a big hit. Race Driver GRID has the potential to be a big hit, a great looking graphics engine and damage modelling; exciting fun racing and a well crafted Career mode are just some of the things going for it.
And you can find the whole thing here.
After much tooing and frowing and back and forth’ness my review of Dawn of War: Soulstorm has finally been published on GAME.com
Due to some issues of not being a GAME employee it has been published as a ‘Featured Customer Review.’ But don’t worry it is mine! I say things such as:
The latest ‘expandalone’ from Relic and Iron Lore in the Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War series, Soulstorm is the third expansion for Dawn of War and is potentially the biggest one yet. Introducing two new armies and a massive new single-player campaign this is an immense proposition.
Soulstorm builds on the same basic principles of all the games in the Dawn of War franchise, build your base, attack using cover, capture control points and crush the enemy. Subtle differences in gameplay arrive with the introduction of the two new races and the addition of flying units.
And the rest can be found here.
This is a review I started a couple of months ago but only now have gotten round to finishing it off! The Club….read on for my take!
A dash of third-person perspective, a healthy dose of non-stop action, a sprinkle of arcade scoring with a dollop of random bad guys on top. Something is wrong though, this would be the basis of a very good shooter, but to become a great shooter it will require that special ingredient that elusive to all but the very best of games.
There is a fine line between success and failure in games where getting a big score or appearing on a leader board are the driving features of the game. Games like Peggle have done fantastically well with this format, The Club however failed to perform as well as it could have.
Fortunately we have a new game to add to the list of successes, that is Red Lynx’s Trials 2 Second Edition. Trials 2 SE is based on the earlier Trials games and probably some even older imitators which I have never heard of or played. Trials 2 SE is the latest edition to the franchise, it is a heavily revised version of Trials 2 offering loads of new features and better chances for gaming fun.
So the latest episode of Sam and Max Season 2 has been released. I have been able to review the game thanks to my work on 411 Mania, so continue to read my review!
Puzzle Quest, well I finally got round to doing a proper review for it. I must say, despite all the things that irritate and annoy me about this game it is really quite good….and addictive.
Anyway find my review of it on 411 Mania right about here.
