Synopsis (Wikipedia)

Similar to previous installments of the series, the two games follow the journey of a young Pokemon trainer through the region of Unova, as they train Pokemon used to compete against other trainers, while thwarting the schemes of the criminal organization Team Plasma. Black and White introduce over 150 brand-new Pokemon to the franchise, as well as many new features, including a seasonal cycle, fully animated Pokemon sprites and triple battles. Both titles are independent of each other, but feature largely the same plot, and while both can be played separately, trading Pokemon between both of the games is necessary in order to complete the games' Pokedex.



Gameplay

I would have to say this is the best Pokemon game yet. You're a brand new Pokemon trainer, as you start if your room when your two rivals appear as you're choosing your first Pokemon, the local PKMN Professor dropped off a gift containing three Pokeballs, in the first one, the grass PKMN Snivy, in the second one, the fire pig PKMN Tepig, and in the third one, the water otter PKMN Oshawott. You then battle your Rivals, Bianca and Cheren, you will most likely beat Bianca, but you'll probably lose to Cheren. As you begin your journey you land in Striation City, there you can achieve your first GYM Badge. As you obtain all 8 Badges, you will evetually come to the Elite Four and the Champion Alder, you will find mysteries there.Now the mysteries you will accomplish and as yet discover new Pokemon. The UNOVA Region is modeled off of New York City, which was pretty amazing.



Controls

You use the DPAD to move Up and Down.
The A and B buttons can be for Capturing a Pokemon.
The A button can be used for Selecting.
The B button can be used for Running and going Back.

Avatar Ninja

Platform: Xbox 360 (Indie Game)
Release Date: 5/15/2010
Players: Single Player (online leaderboard)
Cost: 80 MSP



Overview of the game

This game is simple, yet sooo addicting. I purchased this game in 2011 and was ontop of the world leaderboard it was out of about 6k people. The game consists of jumping, diving, and ducking over many objects. As your levels start to increase it starts to get faster and many more things start coming out. The best thing I like about this game is you get to use your avatar its soo fun to make him a fat slob but being a absolute beast this overall is a very under-rated game, and its only 80 MSP!!! Also the great feature about indie games are that you have a demo, the demo of this game is basically the full game but you dont get achivements and leaderboard ranking, so check that out before you buy.







Overall Game Rating: 9 (very under rated)




Sorry guys Indie game reviews will always tend to be shorter than normal ones. This is because they dont contain all the elements of a full game

Modern Warfare 3, floated around a series of questions in advance, thanks to Infinity Ward's last year of staff changes. Both series' creators, and a large studio in the central part of the multitude of Activision kicked yard cleaning operation.

Indeed, many wondered in advance, could in no way Modern Warfare 3 rise of the two previous series of the game level. Unfair to the starting position, of course, but what can you do? And unfortunately I have to answer the question in the negative.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will continue to literally from where the previous part ended. You will remember not the megaturhauttavan Cliffhanger. Bad guy is dead, Soap and Price raahautuvat towards the salvation of the atmosphere rises ... And then the final text. If you listen carefully, you can still distinguish subdued echoes of time shouting curse word.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]



Follow-up had to wait a couple of years, but eventually Tulihan it from there. Price, Soap, Yuri and the others still alive are the main characters will be supported by supporting characters from all over the world, the United States and Russia ratkoessa their differences in New York, Paris and Berlin. At the same time, price and its partners throughout the war, who started chasing the Makarov-terrorists through Africa and other exotic destinations.




And Modern Warfare 3's honor is to say, that it may also be the story of the decision. One or two characters changed during the game and the dioceses where it is the final exclamation point is placed after the manuscript, one thing is clear: this story is no longer continued in the next Modern Warfare.

Going to the familiar

The story of Modern Warfare gets the job done, because it hits the notes of the predecessors of tune quite worthily. A little bit too worthy, because Modern Warfare played certainly not surprised by any of the game just the reverse. Series of the previous two parts have already trained us to smell them from afar, "dramatic" last-minute setbacks, fraud, deaths and other kommervenkit by the defenders of justice and truth find their way.

Veteran designers' departure seems to appear, at least in the fact that the remaining development team is not afraid to spread your wings and fly, but the entire production smells strongly of yesterday's leftovers uudellenlmmittelylt. For many of the previous games, the famous scenes can direct a control, which are now no longer the third time is not very dramatic.

And, of course, it also includes "No Russian" spiritual lpinkerj. This time, however, ylitseampuvan melodramatic and manipulative transparent implemented. In fact I am shocked at the events so much as I twisted my almost rolling his eyes are. Seriously, guys: if you try to steal, make it even a little more subtle.

Someone can now shout back row, such that they muhjuahan stories have always been. And it oikeassahan back row riekkuja be a way. Zampellan West and Modern Warfare had burgerimtt, but the functional one. Patterns were larger than life, the plot highlights the real highlights, and at least some of the dramatic juonenknteistkin were so fresh and surprising, that they had a real dramatic effect. Now, it's not.

And yet the same criticism applies to ikvmmin also the game itself. Development team feels like the past, even little finger in the mouth, and so the player sits on about half of the game fair for four one hour solo game konekivripeskkeiden various towers and cannon blasting behind the endless hordes of enemies.

When he fails to do so, he runs through the narrowest shooter in the world with admiration over the past tightly scripted war on amusement park adventure ride. Everywhere yes explodes, the whole world is lit and the sky raining missiles, but the whole operation is confident that the player runs through the eyes of kiiluen kertalaakista stopping to follow the events in more detail, or to renew them, for example after the death. Since then the illusion is broken.

Glasses eyes riisuttuaan note that the game is full of endless spawnaavia enemies that pop warppiin only when a player exceeds the map drawn an invisible line. Although the enemies and my friends seem terribly war with, the result is not in any way. It is pretty routine to see that the enemy is standing in front of your tank sniputtamassa players on the forehead at the same time when the three friends in a team towards a series of bangs without getting still death.

The same guy shouting back row again, that's what it was in previous Modern Warfare. So it was. But when it does not properly noticed. The first time, everything was so new and wonderful, the second time while it is an adventure park chute was so huge that it just ignored the problem. When the ghost train ride to jump for the third time, can already be noted that the wall skeleton is wire mounted on the ceiling.

Also involved in multiplayer

But now is the single-player single-player. An urban legend about to tell you that a large part of the Modern Warfare, the fans do not have it never even played, but to jump straight lines riskyttelemn. And it is available in two modes. Modern Warfare 2 from the familiar to the Special Ops return to again and seems to be based on fun thing to do.

Special Ops serving barrier while tight tracks and tasks, for example, where one player advancing on foot in the street and the other was to give support to the AC-130 aircraft. Huisiahan it is again, if that happens to play a competent and sociable guy.

For me, the Special Ops was the best part of the package again, since it is a more traditional PVP multiplayer still does not hit the hook from me. Tuning has taken place in this very area. Black Ops is the history and ostelusysteemi leveleit, new weapons and new perkej million collected now by filling out a different experience point meter. Little space on the screen to the fireworks and stripes fly, when someone came to a full meter cupboard and wait for something new and nice.

A more important reform is the fact that the kill streak bonuses are slightly re-tuned. Kill streakit are still involved, but they may be unexpended at the select the support option, where the killings are not the main issue, but the streak grows through team-minded things, such as dropped ammo to friends.

Support the aid package, then the bonuses are support-minded, so the bombs and artillery strikes is futile to dream of. The real specialty may also want to throw the kill streakit trash, and choose the package that helps get extra perk-slots.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]



Good idea to go to little thighs that support is by no means get points for nearly all support-measures, but some pre-defined stuff, so it seems like a lot of the traditional guild streakeja clumsier and more limited solution. The idea seems to have had that nyyptkin can get nice bonuses, and learn how to play "correctly", but a good idea has not been ensured in the middle.

After all, multiplayer does not feel like a new or even very fresh, but more of Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops remix crosses. And that's what it is, of course. Infinity Ward is not the source at this point to come up with the ball again and angered millions of fans. Thus, there is a multiplayer game, which is all a series of earlier parts of the Friends of play will certainly already standing porcini and soaking up the satasella.

And it is certainly desirable size for them. But at the same time there is a multiplayer game on equal terms, to which the series is even more difficult for newcomers to get involved. Already a couple of days in the game online publication found so brutal bunch, that was pretty useless, the stick. Pot, and became so loud that the branches of trees plisivt yard. And it does not come from any difference in level to even out. So here taitaakin happen that many already consider playing the game cep afloat while hundreds of hours, but left the beach mattimyhset ruikuttamaan.

Familiar with the quality?

One may imagine after reading the criticism that Modern Warfare 3 is a bad game. Let no one, however, make it, because it's not bad. But all is not perfect. End of the game running, I returned to read the texts in a few years ago, Modern Warfare 2 Unrate trying to come to terms with the conflicting tunnelmieni as pitneeni memory when the game a lot. And so it seemed to.

Why is the game now, then left me so cold? I think a couple of reasons to be. The first of these is the fact that there is already a series of fourth at the same time, "**** you, Michael Bay,"-the formula of cinematic special ops shooter. The fatigue that inevitably comes already.

And this help at all, the fact that Zampellan, Westin, and their 38 other veteran left-hand track, and shows a lack of feeling. The same effect is observed in the Simpsons: The current series of factors should not, or dare to do their own thing, but trying to imitate vaisulla success is well known to their predecessors. And it's a pity it.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]



But the game makes a lot of oikeinkin. Special Ops is still a lot of fun and the multiplayer is sure to entertain friends in the franchise. Dissaamastani story is also really cool and functional scenes which would have been quite at home, and the Westin Zampellan peleisskin. It is always nice to see that the franchise's story really ends. Not the final texts of the post-"perhaps the story is not finished!" Blink of the eye or any other part of the post-playing games, but the explosive and ruudinkryinen finish the story.

Review is, however, one man's opinion, and this is mine. I would have hoped and waited for the game trilogy ending something more than the previous government pulling the end of the line. Perhaps the real reforms will then be the new Infinity Ward's first game of their own - which it, hopefully the next Modern Warfare is.



Final Rating: 9.7

Picture's arent mine. some of these were googled. ( Publisher and stuff like that ). Hopefully you enjoyed my first game review!

Synopsis (Wikipedia)

Though the gameplay is largely the same as that of Ruby and Sapphire, Emerald introduces new features. The plot is modified; both Team Magma and Aqua are villains who are locked in a constant gang war and awaken Groudon and Kyogre respectively. When the two legendary Pokmon begin to battle each other, the protagonist must unleash Rayquaza the legendary Pokmon (pictured on the box cover) to calm them. Some of the game mechanics are changed as well. Though double battles were clearly marked in Ruby and Sapphire, in Emerald, two separate trainers might unite to battle as a pair. After the Elite Four is defeated, the player may re-battle Gym Leaders in a double battle. Also, Pokmon sprites are animated in battle like they were in Pokmon Crystal. Probably the most significant addition is the Battle Frontier, an expanded version of the Battle Tower in Ruby and Sapphire.



Gameplay

You're a new trainer that just moved to Littleroot Town, and your first PKMN you can choose from are, The GRASS LIZARD PKMN Treeko, The FIRE CHICK PKMN Torchic, and The WATER MUD PKMN Mudkip. You will do what any PKMN Trainer does and get all 8 Badges, but before you can get the eighth badge the evil teams, Team Magma, and Team Aqua, have awakened Groudon and Kyogre and the only way to stop them is by awakening Rayquaza, after you do that you'll be able to get your eighth badge and head to the Pokemon League. There you will beat the Elite 4 and Champion Wallace, but the game doesn't end there, after you beat the Pokemon League and watch the credits, you'll wake up at home, and the TV will say that there was a mysterious PKMN and then your mom wil ask you what color the PKMN was, and you can say BLUE for LATIOS or RED for LATIAS. Once you leave your house you'll get a call from Scott telling you about a place you can get to from boat, so you head to or fly to the town with the boat and you'll end up at the Battle Frontier where you can battle the Frontier Brains. There are many twists and turns, but that's what makes the game fun.

Synopsis(IGN)
Halo Custom Edition is a multiplayer only, standalone version of Halo on the PC. This is an unsupported version of the game which allows user created maps to be played and edited with the Halo Editing Kit (from Bungie). Halo Custom Edition should be considered a multiplayer expansion pack, as it requires an original Halo PC disc (and CD key) to install.

Gameplay/Graphics
First off, the gameplay is great when you have the custom maps. You have to go on youtube or a website that contains those maps that are wanted to play. Or you can make your own maps. There are still many players on this game. The graphics are Halo Combat Evolved (Halo CE). There are custom vehicles such as the "Pelican" "Jet planes" "Shortsword" "Mythos" "Scarab" etc. There are some custom weapons on cutom maps, like a Barret .50cal, golck 18, bolt action sniper, etc. Again the Graphics are Halo combat evolved's. It's still fun to play!

Halo
It was considered the best game of all time by a magazine.

My Rating 8.5/10
I give it an Eight and a half because it has a fun element to it. Although unless you have a product key not from youtube you can only play LAN or other User created servers. It's still great to play when you're bored and you're on your PC.

Synopsis
The game introduces some new features, several of which involve cover athlete Michael Jordan. The "Jordan Challenge" is a game mode that follows ten of Jordan's career accomplishments. They are called 69 points,double Knickel,shootout,bad boys,the arrival and many others. In "MJ: Creating a Legend", players will receive Jordan as a rookie and guide him to legendary status on any NBA team. As Jordan completes seasons during the mode, players will see his appearance change as he ages. This mode is unlocked after completing all of the Jordan Challenges.[4] As part of the "My Jordans" feature, users will be awarded pairs of Air Jordans for hitting game milestones and accomplishments. Collect the entire line of Air Jordan shoes that MJ wore throughout his career and gain specific attribute bonuses when you have them equipped. The Jordan Challenge however is not available for the PS2 version.

Gameplay
You can play as all of the NBA teams plus some of the classic teams from the 80's-2k. You can unlock shoes as you go along and thoes shoes will increase your players skill in a way of vertical, hands, grip, etc. You can play online with friends or complete strangers. There's a practice mode, exhibition, Jordan challenge and more. You can create a player with the stats you want. There's a game mode in the game where you can make a player (Not his stats) and do kind of like a draft style season. You get graded on how good you work with your team. This game is also compatible with Playstation Move!

Multiplayer
You can play with up to 3 other people in an online game. You can play a randomized game with standard players and the standard teams. You play a standard time on the court of the home team. You can chat with the players on your team and the other team. On a local side it's the same way except your rosters are the way you make it.

Graphics
The graphics are great although there are glitches with it sometimes, so do all games. The problem for me is when I want to instant replay something, sometimes the arm of the player will be glitching all over or inside of the jersey. Sometimes the hand will go through the ball. The good parts are that it shows great shots from the play style and the graphics when you are playing are phenomenal. There are many styles of dunks and shots and from the angles are great.

My Rating
My rating is a Nine because I love to play that when I'm not playing Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary or NCAA 12. It's graphics and gameplay are great for me. I'd say you need to get this game!

Review for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Assassins Creed has always struggled in one key area: identity. As beautiful as its engine is, and as iconic as its characters, it always gave off the impression that it never quite knew what it wanted to be.

With Assassins Creed Brotherhood, such an identity crisis has been discarded, giving life to a sweeping and distinct openworlder thats as much about constant story progression as it is about city-wide renovation. Assassins Creed has finally accepted that its pretty out there in its design choices, and is revelling in it. A good thing, too.

The main thread of the plot picks up just where Assassins Creed 2 finished, with Ezio confronting the Pope and seeing an apparition of the goddess Minerva appear in front of him. From there, its a jaunt to Rome to take down the Borgia family, with the occasional jump forward in time to visit Desmond and company.

Its a much simpler tale than previous Assassins Creeds, and better for it. Ezio has become an older, wiser and more stoic character, and the supporting cast (a mix of old and new) are stronger than before. Basically, its a lot less pretentious. Theres a lot less legwork if you just want to hammer through the plot, and the variety in assassination types and mission objectives is welcome.

You may be scaling a huge building to sneak up on a filthy lawyer, tracking an informant through the ruins of ancient Rome or sneaking up on someone during a play in the Colosseum. Apart from a few glitchy objectives here and there, its all strong stuff.
Theres plenty to do outside of the missions too, and to really enjoy Assassins Creed Brotherhood, youre best examining all the glowing blips on your minimap before you progress the story. Theres tons to do.
You can excavate tombs for treasure in classic Prince of Persia platforming style, carry out side-missions for the various factions around town, take down Borgia-controlled areas of the city, and even renovate buildings. Theres a serious amount of content here, even before you dive into the brand-new multiplayer modes.

Yes, for the first time, Assassins Creed has a true online component, and its surprisingly engaging. Those expecting the kind of pace that Halo and Call of Duty offer might be put off, but if youre prepared to put in the time to slowly pace the city, tracking down a target and staying clear of your opponents, all of whom are trying to do the same thing. Acting suspiciously will raise your profile and your opponents will realise youre an assassin. Its all about patience not something that youd normally associate with online gaming.

At the moment, the community seems enamoured with this slower pace. After all, any attempt at griefing or idiocy will just see you sliced down in cold blood, so it pays to play the game properly. Itll be interesting to see how the game evolves over time. So far so good, though, there are no obvious exploits of bugs weighing it all down.

When it comes down to it, though, Assassins Creed Brotherhood captures the things that has made the previous two games so successful and improved upon them. By the time you reach the second half of the story, youll have your own team of assassins which can be called upon at any time for a slick murder job, making you feel more like a leader than most games ever manage. You can even send them off on contracts around Europe to level them up in a pseudo strategy game. Its odd, but compelling. Building your own little assassin army is empowering.

Its the free-running freedom that really comes to the fore. With fewer dull mission objectives and fetch quests than the previous games, youre free to enjoy the playground that is Italys grand capital to its full extent. And what a place to run around huge towers to climb, stunning architecture to explore and a glorious view at every turn. Once youve mastered the subtleties of the climbing mechanics and you should have by now Rome is your toy to do with what you will.

Having said all that though, this feels like the last time Assassins Creed can rely on this type of gameplay alone to sustain it, and the inevitable proper sequel will need to add some genuine variety. For a years work, Assassins Creed Brotherhood is impressive stuff. This is no lazy cash-in, its the hard work of talented people honing their craft, and another sure-fire hit. Forza Ezio Auditore.

vProFiT wrote Review for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Assassins Creed has always struggled in one key area: identity. As beautiful as its engine is, and as iconic as its characters, it always gave off the impression that it never quite knew what it wanted to be.

With Assassins Creed Brotherhood, such an identity crisis has been discarded, giving life to a sweeping and distinct openworlder thats as much about constant story progression as it is about city-wide renovation. Assassins Creed has finally accepted that its pretty out there in its design choices, and is revelling in it. A good thing, too.

The main thread of the plot picks up just where Assassins Creed 2 finished, with Ezio confronting the Pope and seeing an apparition of the goddess Minerva appear in front of him. From there, its a jaunt to Rome to take down the Borgia family, with the occasional jump forward in time to visit Desmond and company.

Its a much simpler tale than previous Assassins Creeds, and better for it. Ezio has become an older, wiser and more stoic character, and the supporting cast (a mix of old and new) are stronger than before. Basically, its a lot less pretentious. Theres a lot less legwork if you just want to hammer through the plot, and the variety in assassination types and mission objectives is welcome.

You may be scaling a huge building to sneak up on a filthy lawyer, tracking an informant through the ruins of ancient Rome or sneaking up on someone during a play in the Colosseum. Apart from a few glitchy objectives here and there, its all strong stuff.
Theres plenty to do outside of the missions too, and to really enjoy Assassins Creed Brotherhood, youre best examining all the glowing blips on your minimap before you progress the story. Theres tons to do.
You can excavate tombs for treasure in classic Prince of Persia platforming style, carry out side-missions for the various factions around town, take down Borgia-controlled areas of the city, and even renovate buildings. Theres a serious amount of content here, even before you dive into the brand-new multiplayer modes.

Yes, for the first time, Assassins Creed has a true online component, and its surprisingly engaging. Those expecting the kind of pace that Halo and Call of Duty offer might be put off, but if youre prepared to put in the time to slowly pace the city, tracking down a target and staying clear of your opponents, all of whom are trying to do the same thing. Acting suspiciously will raise your profile and your opponents will realise youre an assassin. Its all about patience not something that youd normally associate with online gaming.

At the moment, the community seems enamoured with this slower pace. After all, any attempt at griefing or idiocy will just see you sliced down in cold blood, so it pays to play the game properly. Itll be interesting to see how the game evolves over time. So far so good, though, there are no obvious exploits of bugs weighing it all down.

When it comes down to it, though, Assassins Creed Brotherhood captures the things that has made the previous two games so successful and improved upon them. By the time you reach the second half of the story, youll have your own team of assassins which can be called upon at any time for a slick murder job, making you feel more like a leader than most games ever manage. You can even send them off on contracts around Europe to level them up in a pseudo strategy game. Its odd, but compelling. Building your own little assassin army is empowering.

Its the free-running freedom that really comes to the fore. With fewer dull mission objectives and fetch quests than the previous games, youre free to enjoy the playground that is Italys grand capital to its full extent. And what a place to run around huge towers to climb, stunning architecture to explore and a glorious view at every turn. Once youve mastered the subtleties of the climbing mechanics and you should have by now Rome is your toy to do with what you will.

Having said all that though, this feels like the last time Assassins Creed can rely on this type of gameplay alone to sustain it, and the inevitable proper sequel will need to add some genuine variety. For a years work, Assassins Creed Brotherhood is impressive stuff. This is no lazy cash-in, its the hard work of talented people honing their craft, and another sure-fire hit. Forza Ezio Auditore.
Hahaha, Looks like you can't get the Badge anymore.

Synopsis (Wikipedia)

The silent protagonist of FireRed and LeafGreen is a child who lives in a small town. After players start a journey and venture alone into deep grass, a voice warns them to stop. Professor Oak, a famous Pokmon researcher, explains to the player such grass is often the habitat of wild Pokmon, and encountering them alone can be very dangerous. He takes the player to his laboratory where the player meets Oak's grandson, another aspiring Pokmon Trainer. The player and the rival are both instructed to select a starter Pokmon for their travels. The rival then challenges the player to a Pokmon battle with their newly obtained Pokmon, and continues to battle the player at certain points throughout the games.
After reaching the next city, the player is asked to deliver a parcel to Professor Oak. Upon returning to his laboratory, the player is presented with a Pokdex, a high-tech encyclopedia that record the entries of any Pokmon that are encountered. Oak asks the player to fulfill his dream of compiling a comprehensive list of every Pokmon in the game.
While visiting the region's cities, the player encounters special establishments called Gyms. Inside these buildings are Gym Leaders, each of whom the player must defeat in a Pokmon battle to obtain a Gym Badge. Once a total of eight badges are acquired, the player is given permission to enter the Pokmon League, which consists of the best Pokmon trainers in the region. There the player battles the Elite Four. Also throughout the game, the player has to fight against the forces of Team Rocket, a criminal organization that abuses Pokmon. They devise numerous plans to steal rare Pokmon, all of which the player must foil, meeting and defeating the organization boss Giovanni.
After the first time the player defeats the Elite Four one of the members, Lorelei, disappears. After gaining access to the Sevii Islands, an entirely new region, the player discovers Lorelei in her house and convinces her to come back. Once more, the protagonist must thwart the Team Rocket's plans on several occasions, recover two artifacts, the Ruby and the Sapphire, and put them in the main computer at One Island. After that, the player can communicate, battle, trade, etc., with games other than FireRed or LeafGreen.




Gameplay

As remakes of the first PKMN games, Pokemon Red and Blue, and with the Japanese game that was never dubbed, Pokemon Green. You're a PKMN Trainer that just received your first PKMN out of the three, The FIRE PKMN Charmander, The GRASS PKMN Bulbasaur, and The WATER PKMN Squirtle. You set off on your journey to become a PKMN Master. You do what trainer does that is on their way to become a PKMN Master, defeat the 8 GYM Leaders and get all the 8 Badges, you then will be able to battle the Elite 4, you can capture the legendary PKMN Mewtwo after you defeat the Elite Four. This game has many Special Event locations like PKMN Ruby and Sapphire has, but in this you can travel to the Sevii Islands and battle Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos. This is a great remake of Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue.
