Your dream console!
de
On
We've just reached the end of developer's conference season, and (predictably) nobody announced a new console this year. So, while we're still playing around on the current crop, let's have a bit of a daydream. The question is this - what would your ideal console be like? We're talking looks, functions and fun extras. Personally, my ideal console would look like a giant lego brick, be able to project visuals straight onto the wall, and dispense coffee at a moment's notice.0 respuestas 55 semanas

Video game mergers - what would you choose?
de
On
They'll probably never happen, but it's always fun to dream: if you could merge any two games together, what would you choose? Viva Pinata - Resident Evil edition? Gears of Wario? Personally I think Super Mario: Bioshock would be brilliant - see how far the plumber gets down in rapture. What would you merge, and what would it be like?0 respuestas 56 semanas -

Guitar Hero: World Tour review
Typing this might take some time, my friends, I think I might have a nasty case of RSI coming on. Though I was once reluctant about playing Guitar Hero, after getting World Tour on Thursday my life has been plunged into a relam of gurning bass faces and the sound of clacking fret buttons. If you ever thought you might take the plunge and try to prove yourself a Guitar Hero, now is most definitely the time; Activision have stepped up to the full-band stand, and they've absolutely nailed it.
So, what does World Tour do different? Well, for one thing the set list is brilliant - there's something for everyone in there, whether you fancy belting out some Bon Jovi, or even getting your mosh on with KoRn. As for other innovations, drums, bass and vocals are all new arrivals to the fret pounding family, but they haven't stopped there: the guitars have been treated to a fun new gadget - the neck slider. It's basically a touch sensitive pad that acts as another fretboard, coming into play for stylised solos and some seriously slick licks. It's challenging stuff, as changing between the fret buttons and the slider without dropping a note is pretty tricky, and it's quite hard to control at first. Veterans of the series will certainly appreciate it, as it brings a whole new dynamic to the gameplay. As one might expect, the bass is set out in much the same way as the guitars, which is a shrewd choice - following a different line in the song is enough to set it apart from the guitar without having too many different gameplay dynamics (though you do get to play open notes, which involve you not pressing any buttons and just flicking the strum paddle thingy).
The drumkit should seem pretty familiar if you've ever played rockband, as it has the same four tom-pad configuration. However (and this is key), it also has two small cymbal pads on the top: these are a great touch, making the drumming feel like a much more realistic experience and demanding that little extra bit of co-ordination (there were some people seriously struggling at the launch party, oh how we laughed).
What's really impressive about the formulation of GHWT is the way in which the vocals are done - they give you an amazingly accurate depiction of what notes you're hitting, and which ones you should actually be singing. I ended up singing a song I didn't know when first playing it, but managed to work out the tune based on what pitch it was trying ot give me. It's seriously impressive, and is more fun than I can even describe. That's the real appeal of Guitar Hero - though people that actually play the guitar might be fond of sneering at it (something I was once guilty of myself), there's just something fun about rocking out and having an influence on how well the song actually goes. Even if you are just prancing around with a hunk of plastic in your hands, playing World Tour with a few friends as a band is a fantastically fun experience: I kept finding myself getting the same buzz that I get playing in my real band (real rocker, me), and to be able to bring that kind of excitement to anyone that fancies a go is a real achievement. Check us rocking out in the latest Gamerzine TV if you don't believe us. All hail World Tour!

Golden Joysticks
So the Golden Joysticks have come and gone, but before the dust from Activision's amazing 6 stick win settles, I'd like to focus on one prize in particular. The coveted 'one to watch award' stick was won by Fallout 3 - however, it came out on the very day it won. So, now Fallout has erm...fallen out, what do you find yourself laying awake waiting for?
Here at Game On, we're most looking foward to Little Big Planet and Gears of War 2 (anyone going to fork out the extra dough for the special edition with golden lancer??). The teaser trailer for Bioshock 2 has also got us drooling in anticipation: it looks like the coming 12 months are going to be pretty strong, with some good releases on the way. What can't you wait for?0 comentarios 391 días

Farcry 2 Review
Right, I know some of you lurking here at Game On have short attention spans. That's fine, I can deal with that - you don't have to read this whole review. In fact, I'll sum it up in one sentence here, and then you can read as much or as little of the rest as you please. Ready? Ok: you need to buy Farcry 2.
I can't remember the last time I started playing a game and then got this excited by the prospect of playing it through to the end. It is, quite simply, excellent. You play as one of a number of characters (you get to choose which at the start, which is a great touch - too many games developers just let the protagonists of first person shooters be totally anonymous), who has been plunged into the middle of a conflict between two warring factions in Africa. You have to find and kill an arms dealer named the jackal, while acquiring as many rough diamonds as possible in order to get hold of more of the vast array of weapons on offer. Oh, you also have a scorching case of malaria to boot, so need to keep yourself nice and drugged up on meds. On the way, you'll get the opportunity to take part in a number of side missions for some of your newfound friends - in return they'll give you access to more weapons, and can even come rescue you should you get downed in a fight.
While the fact that you're basically playing blood diamond: the game is totally awesome, it's in the overall feel of Farcry 2 that the real joy is found. The visuals are lovely - particularly the shadows and explosions. Environments are highly detailed, giving it an individual charm and a strong atmosphere. The sound really enhances this effect: weapon noises are satisfying and realistic, and there's a good deal of interesting speech to be heard from the enemy. The musical score is well paced and fantastically subtle - it builds steadily when the heat is on, keeping you from being able to guess when you're next going to come up against trouble.
The gameplay mechanics are really well thought out - controls are inuitive and responsive. At first I found looking around with the right stick to be sluggish, but after a while I hardly noticed. There are plenty of different vehicles to run around in, which is a comfort - getting from A to B can take quite some time, which is a bit of a drag. Still, if these are going to be my biggest complaints (they are) then we're definitely on to a winner. In short, Farcry 2 is atmospheric, exciting and incredibly well executed - it's a strong contender for our game of the year. 5/51 comentario 398 días

Phil Morganhace 25 semanasI am really looking forward to Mass Effect 2. I have been playing the first one for quite a while now, trying not to miss anything in game and have been thoroughly enjoying it.
Also, the one noval for Mass Effect; Mass Effect: Revelation which tells the story about Captain Anderson and Saren.
I won't go into detail but it is definitely worth a read if you're a fan of the series. I'll get back to you about the second novel; Ascenscion as I haven't had the chance to buy or read it yet.
The new Natal Project is look good, I truly can't wait until it comes out so I can give it a go myself.
Any suggestions on games to buy that are already released?

Been playing Street Fighter IV Recently and would just like to say that it is an amazing game and I can't fault it in the least...even if there are noobies online who keep spamming you with attacks because they suck at actually giving a decent fight.
Guile FTW! =)

I got Mercs 2 the other day.
Its a fun game and everything but the fun dies quickly as it did with the first one. You've got to be a seriously dedicated gamer to actually play the game and enjoy it to its full potential and we all know Mercs 2 has loads of potential.
I'll have to admit though the graphics were amazing and the actual game seems more story based which makes it better than the first, the grapple when you get it can be so much fun and easily be used to escape sticky situations.
I'll give it a 7/10.
Less than what it deserves in possibly quite a few gamers but thats in my eyes.
Sorry for the small review opinion thing >.<
So whos looking forward to Star Wars: Force Unleashed?

GeeDudehace 63 semanasconsole wars?...whts the point, i own both 360 and ps3, ps3 pwns the xbox at very complexed games e.g gta, uncharted due to its 7 cores workin at differnt things, but when it comes to simple games e.g fifa, pro evo, xbox rules as it has 3 cores workin at it but the ps3 has 7 and most of the cores just sit there saying wtf? lol, i lyk the free online for ps3 but its no where near the great set up as xbox live but i will not b renewing my live account, apart from the fact the WII is the bes selling console so stop your bickering, tbh, i am only keeping my xbox because more of my fiends have 360 instead of ps3 and of corse GOW 2!!!!!!!
BLACK-Playstation 2 Story: Black takes place in west Russia, placing the player in the shoes of a "black ops" soldier named Sergeant First Class Jack Kellar. It is so gawd damn long and takes forever to listen/watch. It would be handy to skip this. Visuals: Extremely impressive. The use of real-time blur whilst reloading is amazing. You can also run around destroying almost everything in your path. Audio: One word-Brilliant. Sound effects for the weapons in the game is very realistic. Gameplay: Players can only carry 2 weapons at a time (negative of the game). Strategy is needed when choosing weaponry. The player carries grenades, which can be thrown without switching weapons. One of the great features of this game is the fact that you can destroy almost anything. As the game says: "Go in all guns blazing". Overall: 4.5/5: It won't be everyone's cup of tea as it is an action type game. But you'll certainly enjoy the awesomeness of the graphics.
de Gneekcastle hace 63 semanasGuitar Hero: World Tour (see blog for full review!) Story: form a band, make rock history (or make yourself look a bit silly)
de On hace 64 semanasVisuals: standard fare for Guitar Hero. The models of greats like Billy Corgan are ace.
Audio: Oustanding - the best set list yet.
Gameplay: addictive, involving, outstanding!
Back of the sofa factor: Not that all the kit would fit there anyway, this one probably won't ever dissapear into the sofa. It's too much multiplayer fun.
Overall: post-pubber of our dreams, we love it.
