Synopsis
This game is fun to play when you are bored but it can get very very boring after a while.That reason because not all sport game's you can sit and play for a long period of time.Although with this game having new game mode's Listed Below give you ton's of fun you can either play online or play offline Vs computer's you pick the game difficulty Easy,Medium,Hard.

Gameplay
This game is fun like how it said up top it does get boring after a while but all the new add on's they have make it 10x better then the older one's but it may not be fun for you.It all depends on what type of games you like to play.You can choose your fav team to play as or make you'r own team you can choose.

Graphic's
This game graphic's are good but can suck time to time.So with that said that hurt's the review for the game sometime's.The can doe's offer nice display of graphic's but at certain point's of the game For example""Skating the ice don't look real when it come's up of the ground"" ETC but it is better then any other Hockey game's that are made So far.It had a big jump from 13 but not that big of one

Online
Online is good but hard also.People like to use pre-made team's or made their own which can be hard when vsing them so with that said their are ALOT of try hard's on the game Including really good player's that don't try hard,Rage,Etc But you may find some time to time which can make it stressful.

Control's
It is basicly the same but their are some new and old control's in the game which can be hard if you are new to Nhl.But you get use to if after some practice "Practice makes prefect"

My review's
Gameplay:9/10
Online: 8.5/10
Graphic's:8.3/10
My final rating is 9.8/10 Which is really good for an hockey game
New game mods's
Anniversary mode,New engine:Enforcer

MLB 12 The Show
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]



Game Information

Release Date: March 6, 2012
Developers: SCE San Diego
Publishers: SCE
Platforms: PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita
Genre: Sports





Synopsis

MLB 12: The Show builds on what has been delivered in previous franchise releases, adding compelling features that bring unparalleled innovation.




Gameplay

The game play as a whole is pretty good. But its steep learning curve can leave a little bit to desire. I'll admit I am new to the series. But i found it even on it's easiest setting to be somewhat difficult. As I have played more and more of it, i have been able to figure it out. The game does not lack for presentation. Everything seems great. The displays are great and never feel thrown together at all. It helps to immerse yourself into the game. The Road to the Show is a great mode too. The depth and customization of your player is great and I can't really think of anything I would change about it to improve it, from a customization standpoint. There are some areas where perhaps it could go a little deeper into your player and his on and off the field stuff. But generally it is an enjoyable experience.




Graphics

The camera angles are just right and it looks as much like ESPN as I've ever seen on a portable. That being said, there are a lot of little concerns. First, when you play a game, most times when the ball goes foul you can see the bench is completely empty. This seems like a small issue, but its an odd programming mistake that distracts from an otherwise complete experience. My next issue is with home runs. By default, in season, there are no highlight replays. The game seems to skip through the homerun replay that the old THE SHOW had. I am certain you can turn this feature back on, but its odd that it would default to off. My next gripe is the box animations. The framerate dips way down when the camera pans to a batter stepping in the box. Its off putting considering how beautiful the game looks. It goes as far as to make the crowd behind it look 8-bit. Its just wonky and considering the hardware it shouldnt be.




Controls

Haven't tried the "Pulse Pitching" but it's apparently no good. The pitching gets a little wild but I think that's accurate. No one hits their spots every time. THE BANE OF THIS GAME!!! Every game is a 1-0, 8 hit snoozer. A random home run will up the run total but it doesn't help much. Your contact will be "perfect", timing "perfect", and stride "perfect" yet you hit a weak ground ball. Sure, you shouldn't hit a homer every time but the constant ground outs / pop ups with good timing, stride and contact is frustrating. Pitches are so hard to distinguish there's 30+ combined strike-outs EVERY online game. Offline, the AI will never swing out of the zone.



All in all I do like this game a lot. The graphics are unbeatable on a portable and the game is as fun as MLB The Show ever was. For the price its definitely a good buy. With some extra polish by the devs and a little baseball TLC this could have been a solid 8.

Dude Perfect Game
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]



Game Information

Release Date: 2013, I dont know the exact date but they updated it on October 24 for IOS 7
Developers: Dude Perfect
Publishers: Dude Perfect
Platforms: IOS, Android
Genre: Sports





Synopsis

Do you want to make amazing trick shots just like dude perfect? Then download the Dude Perfect game on your iPod, iPhone, and iPad. You can also get it in the Google Play store.




Gameplay

The gameplay is fun. You can play as all the dude perfect characters. This includes Tyler, Cody, Coby, Cory, Garret, and the Panda.Even if you miss the shot, every time it bounces off something you will still get points. If you make the shot, you will get a bonus shot. This will give you a lot of points. As you unlock more levels you unlock more characters. The first character you play with is Tyler. He is my 2nd favorite my first is the Panda. You can create your own levels with the CUSTOM LEVEL EDITOR available in the Dude perfect store. There is multiplayer where you can play with your friend or arch enemies. Dude Perfect has now added Tyreke Evans as one of the characters. The maps include the Carnival, backyard, outer space, and on top of buildings. Shots will get harder and farther.



Graphics
The game is designed especially for your iDevice. Tyler looks a little too skinny. He wears his red shorts. He wears it in most of his videos so it would make sense to put that on him. The settings of the games are creative. My favorite is the pool. The basketball hoop has no square on it. It can take me a while because sometimes I mess up my aim for the hoop. Hitting objects will help the basketball get into the hoop. I hate when the ball keeps bouncing off objects because I have no patience. I want to take the next shot already. There are new worlds and crazy moving shots. There are challenge levels where there are multiple objects in your path.



Controls
Controls are easy to remember. . You must use your fingers to launch the ball into the hoop. It depends on what angle you put the arrow in. However, you must figure out how hard you want to throw the ball. If you pull your finger back to hard the ball will hit off the hoop or go over it. This game is similar to Angry Birds. If you have played Angry Birds the controls are a piece of cake. The main finger I use is the Index Finger. You only need one finger to play the game. When you move the arrow it shows what direction the ball will go because it shows dotted lines to the projected spot. Make sure to not hold your finger back to much because youll mess up the shot. You get 3 tries to get it into the basket. The problems I have is that I accidently let go of the ball and it I completely fail.




Dude's not a professional app developer. He can't be "perfect" in everything. Just enjoy watching the videos in free time. Love it a lot. Keep up the great work. Cant to see what else you guys come up with. There was no free version of the app and after a lot of their fans requesting it they made one.

Batman: Arkham Origins
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]



Game Information

Release Date: October 25, 2013
Developers: Warner Bros. Games Montral
Publishers: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 Wii U, Xbox 360
Genre: Action-adventure





Synopsis(Wiki)

Batman: Arkham Origins is the latest entry in the Batman Arkham series that will see a younger Caped Crusader facing many noted villains for the first time, including Deathstroke.




Gameplay

the game has a superb atmosphere. Year one and Killing Joke are clearly inspirations for the story. On top of that, Gotham is eerily quiet, as it should be on Christmas eve late at night, in a city full of corruption to the point where Black Mask has a hold of the police comissioner on his payroll, SWAT teams in his pocket and criminals running the streets. Ontop of that, you have the GPD issuing emergency broadcasts that citizens stay inside. THIS is why there are very few citizens out and about. Its a complaint I see from people who just do not think about the game and the situation. Why would you be out late on christmas even when theres 8 assassins and countless more gang members out for blood? Theres quite abit of 'Tim Burton' to the atmosphere. The portrayal of Joker and bane are especially brilliant. Bane here is done justice unlike the previous two games. I loved the boss fights too. For me, the gameplay isn't bland. Its slower than in Arkham City, but for me that represents the inexperienced Bruce in a much bulkier and heavily armored suit combined with Bruce's attacks being more raw and powerful. it feels asif im dealing more damage, theres more aggression and power behind the blows. This is why Batman moves slower in comparison to the lightweight armoured experienced Batman from AA and AC.



Graphics
The graphics are great in this game, Some say its not 'christmassy' enough. In a town that is so corrupt, its citizens so oppressed, officials in the pocket of mob bosses, I like that we get to see more 'christmassy' decorations and tones in some parts of Gotham than in others, for me it represents the class division within Gotham City and the disparity between the poor and the rich, which was always a key theme within many Batman stories.



Controls
The Crime Scene investigation is a massive step up. I love it. Some people have criticized how you just press and hold a Button and it does it all for you, which to me is exactly what I would've thought would happen. You find the clues and the bat computer, just like in AC pieces it together within the cowel. Its much more detailed and advanced and it adds to the experience. I prefer this story to AC; theres a great twist midway through and the story is utilized brilliantly with all the characters. This is as much an origin story for Batman, as it is for Joker, Bane, Deadshot, Jim, Barbara, Croc, penguin, Harley and so forth.



The problem with rating the games as a whole is down to what story you like most. For me, I love AA and AO more than AC, but I much prefer playing AC/AO because the gameplay is miles better than in AA. AA's story is superior to AC and so is AO's story. But on the other hand, AC is the most polished of all the games. So its down to what mood I am in. If I want to patrol gotham or have some of the best boss fights, I would play AO. If I fancied reliving the best story, and the best atmosphere, id go AA. If I fancied a mixture of the best polished gameplay and the best iteration of free flow, I would play AC
The thing is this;
AA's combat is quite far behind AC/AO. AO has much more to glide and explore than AC. AC has perfect combat and polish. How do you rate all 3? Personally, I cant rate an order because I would give all very similar scores for different reasons. None are perfect, and some miss elements of another. If AA had AC's dramaticaly improved gameplay, Fights like the Freeze fight, more gadgets and changed Killer Croc's boss fight (I had a brilliant idea) and replay value, Asylum would be best. If AC had a better story, atmosphere and the crime scene investigation from AO, Id say AC was best. If AO didnt have frame rate issues and had Conroy/Hamill, then they would all be on par with each other.

Players: 1
Rating: T



Synopsis (Team Ico wiki)

One cloudy night, a lone hawk flies by two longtime companions - Wander and his horse, Agro - navigating an unforgiving cliffside path on the edge of a canyon. The two have been traveling for a long time on this offbeat path, through murky forests and wet grasslands alike.
They arrive at last at their destination: a tall stone gate with a narrow passage. On the other side lies an enormous bridge of near-otherworldly construction. The bridge spans over the Forbidden Lands, an isolated and nearly empty stretch of expansive plains and canyons alike.

The bridge finally comes to an end at the Shrine of Worship, a gigantic structure in the middle of the Lands. Wander and Agro make their way to the ground floor and the temple's main hall, which is lined with sixteen stone idols. At the end of the empty hall is an altar. Here it is shown that Wander is carrying something with him - a body wrapped in a cloth sheet. He places the body on the altar and removes the sheet, revealing Mono - a young girl clothed in a white dress - underneath.

The game suddenly cuts to a picture of an owl mask amidst a cloudy sky. From here, Lord Emon, a spiritual leader in Wander's society, speaks an esoteric monologue:

That place...began from the resonance of intersecting points...
They are memories replaced by ens and naught and etched into stone.
Blood, young sprouts, sky - and the one with the ability to control beings created from light...
In that world, it is said that if one should wish it, one can bring back the souls of the dead.
But to trespass upon that land is strictly forbidden...


Story
The story is about Wanderer making a deal with a god like entity named Dormin. The deal is that he goes throughout the forbidden lands killing colossi to bring back Mono. There is a total of 16 colossi he must kill each one he kills he absorbs their soul and then blacks out later he fully awakens back in the temple were Dormin describes the next colossi he must kill.


Gameplay
The game has a cycle feel to it,you kill a colossus then absorb its soul then you are re awakened back at the starting point were you are then explained to by Dormin what your next foe is like. All of the colossi can be found in their lair by simply raising your sword into the sun and then when the beams meet in the middle you follow that direction to the next colossi. Once you get there all of the colossi have at least one central weak point once they get stabbed in that weak point it takes down a substantial amount of health almost every colossi has more than one weak point these are usually only revealed once you injure the colossi and their weak point fades. Some of these weak points are hard to find so you must use your sword and the sunlight again to reveal the weak point. All colossi require you to scale the colossi in some form this is were it gets tricky because you have a stamina bar which is represented as a pink circle. Once you start losing stamina it starts fading to black this is when you have to either have to stand on the colossi and let it regenerate you can also fall off of the colossi and let it regenerate


Graphics
Graphics are really good they were easily considered the best graphics of the past gaming consoles on the ps3 HD remake they are really good every now and then there will be a mess up but it usually only lasts a little bit. I have never really had a major graphics problem with either the original or the hd remake


Controls
Although the game is extremely good over all the controls are really hard to get used to at first. They feel clumsy but this is usually only for the first 10-15 minutes of the game but once you get used to them they are pretty easy to get used to and they don't bother you at all and they wont restrict you from enjoying this game.


Rating
9.5
This game at times gets hard to put down after a while.[/align]

Tekken Tag Tournament 2
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Release Date:Released on September 14, 2011
Developers:Namco Bandai Games
Publishers:Namco Bandai Games
Platforms:Arcade, Playstation 3, Xbox360, Wii U
Genre:Fighting
Players:1-2
Rating:T


Synopsis:
There is no "Synopsis" To this game as i tried to search for it on multiple Wiki's


Story:
No story really this is just a different "Arcade" Version of tekken. So there is no missions only Offline and Online Modes.


Gameplay [Single & Multiplayer]
Single player is ok as you are only facing CPU's and it is not so fun, But when you progress through the levels the CPU's Skills get better and better therefore making it difficult to pass levels, Single Player is great for practicing.Multiplayer is very Fun on the weekends i invite family over to play some Tekken, Eachtime we play we always have a new "Champion Player" And the the week after we keep trying to win. Online Multiplayer is EXTREMELY Difficult as many players practiced for years on many other versions of tekken, In my opinion you should practice on single player before going online.


Graphics
The graphics are pretty good, The player and map graphics are Neat on Xbox360 and PS3
They may look different if you don't have "HD" but even without HD it still looks like decent Graphics,With that being said my personal Rating on graphics would be a 6/10


Controls
Controls are simple, You have to use 4 fingers for the best combat experience
as you are pressing X,B,Y,A You can use just your thumb but you will not hit as much or do Combo moves as you would with using 4 fingers.


Some Facts
This game is GREAT to play with family and friends, Whenever you finish a little football game with nothing else to do you can just put some Tekken on and Try and beat everyone and try to hold a streak.



Rating: [out of 10]
7/10

WWE 2K14!
Basic Info
DevelpoersYukes,Visual Concepts
Publisher2K Sports
PlatFourm'sXbox 360,Ps3



Game Play
The game play is awsome it is like no other WWE The controls are awsome also same with the Movement of the Weapons and Avatars.Altought it is new but it is an amazing game.Altough they way the choosing system for WWE Universe is hard when u want to choose you charater Because it is not like the older game WWE 13 It is completely diffrant So don't get use to WWE 13 If u didn't get 2k yet.The roster is adsupose to have every one on the roster so far but you have to unlock it Unless you want to cheat and get the unlock all pack

Graphic's
The graphics are amazing so far One reason i say that is it is a new game but the graphics may change after updates.It is not like any other WWE games made by THQ Personally i though this game was going to suck Because 2K Has only made Sport games not fighting/Wreslting game's ever so they may have worked really hard on this game to show off of how good their "Other sport"Games off or to set a good exapmle.Many have said that they will mess up the hair,This is not true that hair is fine.

Online
The online is better then that last games but as i said it is a newer game so this may improve if it does it will make the online gameplay 20X better.So this is affecting most of the gameplay also but not alot They still are using the online code which can be found at the back of the manual in the game case


My Rateings
Game Play :9.5/10
Graphics:9.6/10
Online:8.9/10
