WoW the Aftermath

Image
So as I’m sure we are all aware, World Of Warcraft is a “game” made by a Company called Blizzard. Some of you may or may not know but blizzard also had on the books another game called Starcraft: Ghost . A Third Person Shooter based in the Starcraft Universe, but this was canned a few months ago. It was to be the first real venture for Blizzard on the console market. Now the reason for it being cancelled was never truly apparent, but what’s been plaguing me recently is whether or not Blizzard are even bothered to bring out any other games after WoW, as it’s a constant stream of money for them. Blizzard have an amazing track record for creating games of an outstanding quality Diablo Series, Starcraft and of course Warcraft. All of which score in the high percentile. I think it may be safe to assume that Starcraft ghost was not a very good game, as it kept getting reworked and release dates were pushed, and as such Blizzard were reluctant to release it. So, what happens now? World

Next-Gen

Yeah yeah, multimedia, online, interconnectivity, lifestyle and gaming that's all great but the gamers didn't ask for it. The single most obvious leap for the next gen hasn't been made yet. It's obvious, you don't need market research and you certainly shouldn't be getting told by such a high profile games site as That Guy's a Maniac that's for sure. MORE FRICKIN DINOSAURS!! Yeah more, bigger, shinier, HD dinosaurs What are you waiting for? Coincidentally, does anyone know of any dinosaurs in Xbox 360 games? Does anyone know of any next-gen dinosaurs? IF NOT THEN THAT MEANS THERE ARE ACTUALLY NO NEXT GEN DINOSAURS. Come on guys get in the record books by being the first NEXT GEN DINOSAUR GAME. and I mean real fake dinosaurs not fake fake dinosaurs like Yoshi, Bub or Bob.

New Resident Evil Spin off!

Image
Great news every one! There’s a new Resident Evil spin-off game, and guess what its not a pissy Outbreak, Survivor, Gameboy or mobile version! It’s coming out this Friday (17/11/2006). It features a character never seen in officially in the Resident Evil universe and features a fantastic, multi-developer, multi-platform, cross-involvement back-story, here’s a snippet of what we have managed to get of the plot (Warning Spoilers): The main character is Jill valentine’s half Brother, Vincent. Vincent was kidnapped after the events of the first Resident Evil, from the perspective of the Gamecube version. Vincent is captured by Umbrella and is experimented upon. However it turns out Vincent has a very individual genetic make-up which makes him resistant to a variety of strains of T-Virus and G-Virus. Vincent was kept locked up several years but still remained almost immune to all the artificially created Umbrella viruses, such as the V-Virus, Z-Virus R1-Virus. Until they finally hit up

NEWS ROUND UP

Well, after several false starts and some setbacks, hitches, spanners in the works and delays the PS3 finally landed over in Japan. Even the bloody Times had a two page spread on next-gen consoles, hilariously giving the PS3 4/5 for hardware and 3/5 for software where as the poor old 360 received 3/5 for hardware and 3/5 for software. We got our PS3 on the weekend and boy oh boy is it mediocre. After one hour Richie managed to crash it and after three hours we ended up playing Micro Maniacs on the PS2 because the multitap doesn't work on the PS3. MotorStorm is alright but the lack of any real games at the moment makes it the most expensive chunk of stuff in the house. Seriously kids wait until something comes out for it. In other news... I got my Brain Age down to 20!-Flying planes in GTA San Andreas voted "hard" by TGAM blogger Cunzy1 1-Next Resident Evil film to be set on Mars and have genetic mutants instead of zombies-Chuff_72's bid to complete PS version

Kingdom Hearts 2: THERE'S THE GAME!!!

Image
So I recently bought Kingdom hearts 2, and after trying to overcome a few issues I had with abundant cut scenes and lack of fighting, I hit the middle of the game. And therein lies its greatness not only was I presented with some good cutscenes (finally) of par example Cloud and Squall (Leon) back to back fighting thousands of bad guys and having a bit of banter! It also presented me with shit loads of fighting, par example Kill 1000 enemies with out dying (wnak). Admittedly I am now at a bit of a loss as I have to re-visit all of the past worlds, and I fear that the damn game is gonna get annoying again… anyways fingers crossed for some Sephiroth action. Quote from Fanboy#9 Overall I give it 2/10 because I cant get past the Disney characters. P.S. Some Twat didnt like this game...
