Ghostbusters the Video Game - Reviewed!

Game Score: 
10
GameCover:: 
Game cover

Ghostbusters, my childhood favoured film series is now finally been transformed into a game, yes Egon, Ray, Winston and heraldries Dr. Peter Venkman are back to kick some ghost ass again in there comical fashion (if they have asses). Starting the game you will find out that u will not be playing one of the original cast, no u play as a new recruit known as the rookie, you where hired to become there experimental equipment technician aka u will be testing the newest ghost kicking toys for the others (so u become there guinea pig to make shore they doesn’t explode).

The new weapons in the game are true amazing (in my eyes) one of them is a slime gun witch is featured in the second film (Ghostbusters 2), running around shooting slime at walls, ghost and your team mates is a world of fun. While playing it I did notices that team work is needed, the AI’s are ok, but human players are better. The game is four player co-o, but only online, offline is single player witch is fine will me, I personally prefer a full screen to myself then split screen (I’m very shellfish when it comes to gaming lol). The game was written by the original writes of the films and when you play the game you can really tell by seeing the same comical wit as the films. Not only was the same writes involved but the original cast from the films where reunited to do the voice in the game and there are rumours that because of this reunion there is talk of a possible another film in the future (really geeking out about it! Lol)

Over all I really did love this game, challenging, witty and fun, what more can u ask for really. I give this game 5 out of 5 thumps up (if I had a extra three thumps, lol).

End of JJ’sword!

Ninja Blade reviewed for Xbox 360

Game Score: 
9

NINJA BLADE is a typical beat'em up game similiar to much more popular Ninja Gaiden or God of War. The story in my opinion is pretty cool. You're a member of the special squad called G.U.I.D.E formed to fight an Alpha-worms: a unclassified species of hook worm wich rapidly multiplied, triggering uncontrollable bleeding and open sores but instead of killing the host they mutated him so much that he turned into violent, superstrong killing monster.

You play as ninja called- Ken Ogawa and you're a member of already mentioned organisation. The plot is getting more twisted, especially after first mission and the story is really, really interesting but that's enough spoilers.



I have heard about this game alot. Some people enjoyed playing it and some people did not. I've picked up a copy from a Gamestation for 25 pounds and honestly- it paid off. Played nearly 9 hours straight, nearly peeing myself i have to add. Long time i didn't experience such awesomness in a video game. Let me explain the basis of Ninja Blade to you:

  • FIGHTING: Fighting is not as advanced like we can see in Ninja Gaiden 2 but that's not a minus. You get 3 weapons wich can be upgraded to a 5th level (using red shards dropped from enemies, pretty standard) increasing weapons damage, range and unlocking new combos. Also weapons look changes as well wich is pretty cool. But all of that is nothing new for this sort of a game.

Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb

"It cannot be done!" they mumbled loudly, if such a thing were possible. "Review six of the greatest pieces of fantasy ever created in one slapdash article without giving away the stories?! Mental!"
'Pah', said I. And began to read and write...

"When one is deeply absorbed in such recounting, it is surprising how much detail one can recall. Not all of the memories I summon up are painful."

Over a score of years ago, Robin Hobb began writing the six finest pieces of 'soft' fantasy I have ever read.
This is no small accolade, fantasy literature has always been something of a passion for me, and from Anne Macaffrey to Asimov I've happily devoured an appreciable chunk of the genre.

The books in question are the Farseer Trilogy, 'Assassin's Apprentice', 'Royal Assassin' and 'Assassin's Quest'. And the Tawny Man trilogy, 'Fool's Errand', 'The Golden Fool' and 'Fool's Fate'.

Between these six books they tell, from the first person perspective - the entire life of Fitzchivalry Farseer, a remarkable man living in remarkable time.

The tale is set in an almost medieval world, in the Kingdom of the Six Duchies, ruled over by the family of Farseers. So far, so olde world fiction. There's even magic, but more on that later.
The Story of Fitzchivalry, a royal bastard, begins with his foster father abandoning him to the mercies of the Prince that begat him. Six years old, he is thrust into a world of soldiers and political intrigue in which he is suddenly a rather dangerous and vulnerable game piece. His arrival causes his father to abdicate his claim to the throne, and gives his scheming uncle, Prince Regal, another leg up towards the succession.
His surrogate grandfather, the king starts shaping him into a tool he can use for the good of the throne - a diplomat and assassin, but in doing so twists him into something wholly different.

Top 10 Gayest Moments of Videogaming

Welcome to another SimpleCyanide top 10 list! This week we give you the Gayest moments in Videogaming.

If you are yourself gay then please don't be offended by this article, but instead feast your eyes on the sumptuous moments of gay gaming history. Heck, feel free to loosen those leather trousers, pop out the butt plug and have a good old rummage to these gayer than gay moment...



10) Fable - Experimenting

Fable, a masterpiece of a game - giving you the choice to craft your hero into whatever you desire, be you good, evil or gay...



More often than not, while dancing or farting for an enthralled crowd you would think yourself a big - manly man as every woman in the vicinity fell in love with you. But what's this? A heart over the head of a swarthy gentleman? Well i'm flattered but... oh you too? Well... i always open to new experiences...
BAM - you've taken him to a tavern for some sweet bum love and you're gay.



9) Halo 1, 2 and 3- Teabagging

Halo, you all know what it's about. Super soldier master chief blowing up the best part of a species once a game in an orgy of well orchestrated FPS mayhem. Brilliant games, until you get online...



You're just minding your own buisness when Bang! Some crafty beggars popped out from behind a rock and shotgunned you to death. Ah well - nothing to do now but respawn right?
Wrong. Mr. Shotgun comes up to your poor, defenceless corpse, and while you are forced to watch through the deathcam - gently squats on your face. Again and again...
BAM - balls in your mouth and you're gay.

Top 10 Awesome Guns Of All Time

I enjoy playing games where I mercilessly maraud around shooting futuristic weaponry at my friends hoping that my shots meet their target to dismember them. I rarely take a moment to think about the guns that I’m firing but upon reflection, here are my top 10 badass guns of all time.


10. Hammer of Dawn - Gears of War
Put simply - who wouldn’t want an orbital death satellite canon at there disposal?





Guns like this have appeared before in games such as the Ion Painter in Unreal Tournament, but the Hammer of Dawn has unlimited ammo if your not multi-playering and only limitations is the time limit on the beam and the fact you have to have a clear sky...


Apart from that its all good!




9. Redeemer - Unreal Tournament
The Redeemer, a hand held nuclear missile silo with a impressive blast radius - which you'd fully expect from a nuclear warhead.





Even better you can remotely guide the missile to your target, sneaky players could glide up to the other team from behind and let them know that they are there by making contact with a players head unleashing an utterly devastating explosion, just don’t let them see you while your doing it!




8. Spartan Laser - Halo 3
A big red death laser ... sounds right up my street. Designed for anti vehicle use but is also superb in anti personnel use. This highly charged energy laser beam will destroy anything you point it at.


Put in the right hands the Spartan Laser usually leaves opposing players waiting for their respawn.





Just image if you could dual wield it!




7. Lancer - Gears of War

Dawn of War 2

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war...

But heck - it's not that important a war, so budding commanders need only send a dozen or so men to win it - right?

Welcome to Dawn of War 2 - sequel to the game that pretty much revolutionized the RTS genre, making it more accessible than it had been for a decade. This time it goes even further in it's quest to draw in the wider audience by addressing the issues of what actually made the previous game fun. But lets not get ahead of ourselves, and talk about the game itself. Maybe with the funnies - who knows?

Just to mix this up - I'll look at some RTS conventions, and then show how DOW2 likes to bend them over and give them a good old relic style pounding.

First off we have base building!
Well as everyone knows, building bases, defenses and other such paraphernalia are essentially for homosexuals. As far as DOW2 is concerned if you want to play at real estate developer then go and play The Sims. DOW2's only concession to base building is that one of the hero choices allows you to build turrets, which are of course suitably manly enough to be permitted in the grim darkness of the far interior decorator.
So suddenly you're not looking at a traditional RTS turtling game, where you spend the first ten minutes of every match setting up pointless architecture that allows you to build slightly shinier pointless architecture.
You have one building. It's bum hard, defend it. Period.

This brings us to the units. Now we don't have to worry about managing our housing portfolio we have time to actually concentrate on the units.
Now this isn't Supreme Commander, or even the last DOW. You won't see four hundred units locked epically in pitched battle at any one time. The best results often come from maybe a dozen or so men who you carefully micromanage. It's all about tactics, and picking your battles.
