Here's another demo impressions post. Ascension is the prequel of the original god of war series, the demo starts off half-assed. I had to google Ascension's timeline to know when it occurs, before or after god of war trilogy. God of war: Ascension stays pretty much the same to its series in terms of gameplay and quick-time events, there are also minor changes that make gameplay more fluent compared to the past.
Environment: Bright and clear, graphics is awesome! There are more environment interactions now, like the ground sliding part but it creates camera problems.
Combat: The usual pair of chained blades. Kratos can now pick up weapons (blades etc.) from the ground and use it against enemies or even throw them. There is also the gauge system now where you can execute more light/heavy attacks when the red meter is filled.
Freedom: The entire god of war series are strictly path directed. This is no limiting point as that is just how action games work. I will skipped on this one.
New features: There are now collectibles, like records from god bibles etc. Executions are now notified by a curved red line above enemies but no idea what to press to execute - self exploration. Minor changes done to the obtaining of red orbs from chests (smashing instead of opening) and button mashing. Button mashing to lift gates and executions are more sensitive now for smoother gameplay.
All that were posted above belongs to the 20-minute demo only. There is only one difficulty in the demo, so there will be no comparison of difficulties in here. I will probably buy this game but definitely not now since I have not even play god of war 3 yet.

Till next time.

Sup guys, I am back to keep this space alive a little. Haven't been watching any anime, I am still playing games though. Recently I just downloaded a couple of demo's from PSN, so I guess should give my impressions on them. Resident evil revelations stays pretty much the same as other resident evil games.

It took me just 2 days to finish the show, definitely one of the best animes for me! The start of the anime already got me hooked in, some awesome unique storyline that never once surfaced on anime history. It kept me watching episode after episode continuously without fail, always keeps me wondering whats next. Action scenes are sufficient, perhaps abit short in duration but its all well since most of which are flashy and are worth watching more than once! Besides all that, the anime also fits in some of mmorpg main features like recreational skills (fishing/cooking), blacksmith crafting, party/guild and PK etc. This show is just fantasy to me, enough said.

My rating: 9.0/10

The Darkness 2 is a first-person shooter, published by 2kGames in 2012. It was a good game, could have been so much better if it was uncensored. The gameplay was thrilling, using the power of the darkness and mutilating every mothafucker in your way! Cool-as-shit relics to collect, top-notch voice acts, amusing characters and not to forget the Vendettas! Story was fairly okay, taking revenge and getting down to the truth. Graphics was fine, maybe just some camera problems at times.

My rating: 7.5/10
Gamespot rating: 7.0/10

Goods: Refreshing gameplay, amusing characters, interesting relics to be uncover, top-notch voice acts, Vendettas mode

Bads: Censored executions, gameplay felt repetitive overtime, lipsyncing fails, imbalanced interface (postion to talk to characters, not alll scenes can be skipped)

Crysis 2 review is here! A sequel to crysis, developed by crytek in 2011. I had to say i enjoyed this game over the first one. Gameplay was breathtaking as always, given the new nano-catalyst upgrade system and others. Story was just okay and serioulsy i dont see how this is a sequel other than the brought over of prophet. Outbreak of alien virus was due to a biochemical leak and such, nothing clear was brought over to the audience despite them using a television broadcast for the introduction. Graphics was still realistic, i had to say crytek really impresses me with their in-game graphics.

My rating: 8.2/10
Gamespot rating: 8.5/10

Goods: New gameplay add-ons (Nano-catalyst upgrade system/stealth kill/power kick/weapons detaching/objective meter/collectables), impressive environment, more interesting and effective weapons

Bads: Draggy storyline (repetitive missions, story twists), no more smooth maneuvering of skills on the mouse, dumb-ass-fuck main character
                       
                        

Hi guys, its been a long time now. I will try to update this space as much as i can since i am now spare with few months of holiday. I am back to playing games, not too much on anime yet. So yeah, i completed crysis yesterday and now i am reviewing it. Crysis is a first-person shooter produced by Crytek in 2007. The gameplay was really fun since the abilities of the nanosuit is already given from the very start. Story was pretty good, about the north koreans followed by discovering buried alienware. Graphics was realistic at some point.

My rating: 8.0/10
Gamespot rating: 8.0/10

Goods: Smooth maneuvering of abilities, freedom of handling situations, good story setting, realistic graphics, numerous checkpoints

Bads: Glitches and bugs, unclear and dumb missions, gradually loss of freedom in gameplay
                            
The goods. Maneuvering of abilities could be easily done by clicking on the mouse roller and rolling it to whatever ability you want. There is the option of using the keyboard to do this, for the ones that are more keyboard-familiar. 4 abilities in total, maximum armor/super strength/maximum speed/cloak form. These abilities are present at the very start of the game, depending on how you use them determines how much fun you will have from it. For me, i use the mouse to switch in-between modes which is really convenient, no delay or whatsoever. Nano-energy recovers at a swift rate once you are in maximum armor so it doesnt really pose a problem of 'lack of energy'!

Freedom of handling situations. This is the main attraction of the game, provided that they give you the abilities to do whatever the fuck you want. On cloak mode, ambush the north koreans grabbing them by their neck then switch to super strength and throw them into the sea or off a cliff. On super strength and just punching them right in the face watching them fly backward. Grabbing objects and throwing it at the north koreans. These might all sound stupid but trust me, it is definitely way more fun than just shooting with a rifle. Missions like infiltrating the enemy's base, there is no fixed way to do it. You can go 'backdoor' either jumping over the wire fence or knocking it down using super strength and go cloak mode to explore the base. Basically, you feel like superman in the game!
                              
Setting of the story was fine. First, you start off as an infiltrator into the north korea borders attempting to save the hostages. As more of your mates died or being captured by some mysterious flying creature, the mission extends to not only rescuing the hostages but also determining the flying creature. Deeper and deeper into the island, you discovers that the north koreans are planning to revive some ancient buried alienware as their weapon for world invasion. You try to stop it but to no avail. Aliens ressurected and begin their world dominance. Its up to you and the military to stop this insane war before its too late!

Graphics was pretty realistic and outstanding. For example, walking into a waterfall. You can actually see water droplets on your vision glasses. Well that is a first for me. Characters expressions, trees/beaches/houses design were up to detail. There are so many checkpoints which make crysis so much less irritating of having to do fucked up missions over and over. All that makes this game aesthetically pleasing to play!
                              
The bads. All games cant escape having no glitches and bugs, crysis is no exception. Soldiers having parts of their bodies penetrating through walls and such. Mission bugs, missions could not be completed no matter what you do. Only by restarting the previous checkpoint and redoing the mission could then solve this bug.

Unclear and dumb missions. Missions like defending a secured location, a gigantic alien appears. I rocket launched it more than like 30 times, no shit happens. Countless aliens flying around, they keep coming no matter how many you shot down. No clear instructions or whatsoever were given, leaving me dumbfounded in the situation. Escort missions sucked so real bad!!! Objective was to escort prophet to the destinated location. He moves so damn slow and cant even defend himself against aliens when he was supposingly the team leader. AIs as always, nuff said.

Gradually loss of gameplay freedom, this could be felt once the aliens ressurected. You could no longer play with your abilities as much as before. Cloak and armor mode is useless against aliens, most of the time just gunfiring these mothafuckers. Missions where they just forced you to do it, for example flying a VTOL which just sucked. Personally, i hate piloting planes and this mission just fucked me up! Everything starts to follow a destinated path, no more do-whatever-the-fuck-you-want.
                               
Crysis, as a first-person shooter was fantastic! Interesting and useful abilities, just maybe the grabbing of people could be better registered. I previously intend to give it a 2nd playthrough, but the presence of shitass missions made it say fucked it and i am off to crysis 2.

Have a nice day!

I have been finishing more games than animes in the past couple of weeks, just that i did not have the time to review it back then. Now is the time! Everyone should have at least heard of ghostbusters before, most likely watched its movie. The video game itself is released on almost every console available at that time, but today's topic will be on the psp(No multiplayer). The game was released in 2009.

My rating: 7.5/10
Gamespot's rating: 7.5/10
Estimated playtime: 8 hours +

Goods: Decent storyline, refreshing gameplay, interesting equipment modes, freedom of property destruction

Bads: Soft vocals, retarded AIs, irritating glitches, money earned in game cant be used!!!
The goods. Decent storyline. In the city of new york, ghosts existed and thus formed the ghostbusting team. At the start of the game, nothing was really explained about their origins and the ghosts existence etc. It begins off with the 4 leading ghostbusters already experienced in what they are doing, YOU are the new recruit to the team. Regular ghostbusting missions at first, it gets progressively better throughout. Plot holes getting filled and there surfaced the source of the increased paranomal activites in town.

Refreshing gameplay. This is probably the only game that actually have you fighting ghosts to protect the innocent london civilians. Does not sound amusing but as you get your hands on it, it is actually pretty fun. You get to go on missions, locating the lead ghost and capturing it. Capturing ghosts with the proton stream, laying ghost traps and maneuvering them into it was enjoyable. I have never played any game that actually works like this, it was something very different and indeed refreshing to play! It is just that sometimes, fights gets too easy as it can always be dealed with the same method without putting in much effort.
