MLB 2K7

Abgestreift von seinem Punkt-auf Sichtbarmachungen und ausgezeichnetem Sportkommentar, MLB 2K7 seien Sie nur ein technisch stichhaltiges Spiel. Erstaunlich wenn jene Sachen zurück in die Mischung geworfen werden, geht das Spiel einfach vom Sein der Spieler? s zeitlich geplanter Saisonerwerb eines Baseball sim zu einem Erwerb von einem der größten Baseballspiele, das überhaupt gebildet worden ist! Nr., das Spiel ist nicht vollkommen. Es läßt seine Fehler, aber das Niveau der Immersion während das Spielen erreichen, an zweiter Stelle zu keinen ist. Lesen Sie mehr

Guitar Hero 2

It?s hard to imagine what social gaming was like before the Guitar Hero series transformed our drunken gaming evenings. Did we really sit down and get things ready for some hectic one-on-one action at Street Fighter 2, when we could have just strummed a plastic guitar? After Guitar Hero caused masses of us to repeatedly throw the horns on the PS2, the inevitable sequel unsurprisingly became a multi-million seller. Undoubtedly you can still spot that tacky looking plastic guitar adorning a hefty number of living rooms. Read more

Spider-Man 3

Film tie-ins are a mixed bunch. Spider-Man 3 has plenty of action and plot available to draw from, which should have made it a good game. Sadly none of that relates to the gameplay, which is eerily reminiscent of last year?s Christmas Turkey, Superman Returns. Read more

Call of Juarez

Western-themed games have been pretty much ignored in gaming. So when games like Gun and Red Dead Revolver appeared, I was thrilled because I?m a huge western fan. Call of Juarez has everything a western fan would want: shootouts, duels, and damsels in distress. CoJ puts you at the helm of Billy Candle, a half-White, half-Mexican loner, obsessed with finding the legendary Gold of Juarez. The treasure is hidden somewhere near the town of the same name. When he returns home to see his mother, he find her and his stepfather murdered. You also play as Reverend Ray, a reformed gunslinger turned town preacher. When someone tells him there were gunshots at his brother?s house, he rushes over to find Billy running away in a panic. He vows revenge upon Billy, and the chase is on. Read more

Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis Coming to the Wii; Mii’s Seek New Employment

In a move that makes perfect sense, Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis, originally for the Xbox 360, is finally being ported to the Wii. Considering the popularity of Tennis in Wii Sports, this makes perfect sense. However, for all the gamers out there who have what my old music teacher Mrs. Mellenger called “stupid fingers”* (the author included), the 360 version may be preferred. Another downside of the move to the Wii is the loss of graphical quality, but, considering the nature of the game (it’s Pong with an incredible physics engine), it’s doubtful that that will be a major downside.

F.E.A.R.

There?s absolutely no doubt that FEAR is an excellent game. Its blend of hectic firefights, spooky frights, and stunning looks made for a title that was almost universally praised back with its initial PC launch, and it is being lauded by most again with its Xbox 360 based port. Time moves swiftly in the gaming world, however. What was state of the art a year ago can appear old hat when compared to what magical gaming goodness has followed it. For our part, FEAR unfortunately appears to be a perfect example of the bad things that can happen to ported games. Read more

Moore goes to EA, Mattrick goes to Microsoft

The man who’s been running Microsoft’s Xbox and Games for Windows divisions, Peter Moore, is heading to the west coast to take over EA’s EA Sports brand. Taking his place is former EA president Don Mattrick, who’s worked on such famous EA titles as The Sims and Need for Speed.

Although this seems sudden, it may have been in the works for some time. Mattrick’s been working for the past few months as an “external advisor” to Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices Division. Considering Moore has a new post at EA so soon, it’s unlikely that this all happened on the spur of the moment.

Mattrick chose a fine time to take over for Moore. Between the not-quite-recall and the impending lawsuit from scratched disks, he’s got a lot of work on his hands.

Mortal Combat: Armageddon

Most of you have, of kourse, seen Mortal Kombat: Armageddon on a different konsole. Therefore, I will begin by saying that the only real difference of playing this title on the Wii is that your fighter?s ?special moves? (i.e. Sub-zero?s ice-ball or Scorpion?s Hellfire kick) are done by pressing the ?b? button down while making 1 of 8 different motions with the Wiimote. That?s about it. Read more
