Re: SSX Game review

It is one of the most anticipated games of 2012 and has been given a deserved
9/10 from IGN.

Where to start?

Presentation:
The main menu is
beautifully presented and the globe feature is a very cool touch. It allows for
easy access to every region in the game and looks slick too. The colours blend
well and overall it's one of the better menus out there. The characters are
displayed like the old games, except this time they update depending on your set
chosen outfit for them, neat touch. The Global Events ranking system and
scoreboard are presented nicely and it is easy to identify the gold from the
bronze.

Graphics:
A huge improvement from the previous games, although
that was to be expected as this is a step up to the new generation of consoles.
The mountain ranges look beautiful and the colours from the sun and lava are
divine. The animations for your character are more realistic and the movement of
the snow and ice is more believable than in previous
titles.

Gameplay:
There are 3 modes in which to play SSX.
World
Tour. You must conquer the 9 Deadly Descents of the world, and to spice things
up, it's a race to beat SSX veteran Griff. You must play with every character in
the game in order to do this so I suppose it allows you to test them all out and
discover which one is your favorite ( of course if you've played the previous
games, you already have one!) The new characters do nothing for me and just act
as more competition. One downside is you don't feel as attached to them as they
rarely speak.
Explore. You are given the World as your playground as you have
access to every drop on SSX. Be free and enjoy the tracks to beat your friend's
times and scores.
Global Events. In my opinion THE best game mode of the lot.
Events are set up by SSX with certain requirements on each track. So, for
instance an event can prohibit the use of wing suits and can set a max gear
level. This adds difficulty to the game and separates the best from the rest.
After each run, your time is posted to the leaderboards, you are ranked from
Diamond to Bronze and are given credits relating to where you sit in the
standings.
In my opinion, the most disappointing aspect of this new SSX is
the lack of split-screen multiplayer. There was nothing better than to play
against mates in the same race and on the same TV. This will be sorely missed
and puts a downer of a seriously good game.

Music: In the previous
titles, the soundtrack was out of this world, with music that fits with the
style of the game perfectly. I can tell you that this time around, it certainly
doesn't disappoint. The soundtrack is sublime and I find myself singing and
tapping along to it. Music in games is a crucial aspect and when it's perfect,
it certainly shows. Ea have always been good with
music.

Conclusion.:
To sum up, this game is a MUST for SSX fans and
for people new to the scene who want a game that is amazingly fun and awesome to
play. The huge improvements on graphics and enjoyable, replayable game modes
means you will be still be playing this next year. The only bad side to this is
the minimal glitching and lack of split screen multiplayer, oh how this game
could have been perfect with that. Don't let that leave a bitter taste in your
mouth however, as despite that, this game is phenomenal and should be given the
credit it deserves. The adrenaline that can be pumped through your body while
riding through an avalanche is quite something, and when you have this feeling,
you know this game is great.

9.7/10

I have two of these (bought for dual stick shooters. ) But its surprising how many games I find myself using just one with. They really are great. Though if you have a self repairing type screen protector, they won't work as well. As I discovered!

Re: BioShock Infinite – review

The original BioShock is great, and you can probably find a new copy of it for $15. I haven't played its sequel, but my understanding is that it's considerably less emphatic in terms of plot/themes/whatever and also that you can dual-wield weapons and plasmids. I'd just play the first game and then wait for Infinite. Both are being handled/were handled by Ken Levine, and that is a very good thing

Re: BioShock Infinite – review

Milkman — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 09:45:28 -0000

I saw the gameplay, and was immediately hooked. I also played a demo for BioShock 1 and felt like the game was good. The only problem was that I didn't want to buy the other 2 unless I was disappointed, which most would think is far from the truth. But, I really want to get Infinite. The only problem is that I don't know the story for BioShock. Sure I can look it up, but any real gamer knows a written description can't compare to actually partaking in the event. And I can't play a game, read a book, or watch a movie without knowing the full story. So, even though the game hasn't come out, most of u could answer the question: Do you need to know the story of BioShock in order to understand Infinite, or is it like Fallout, where you can play with the vaguest clue of the past?

Many internet streaming radios have many limitations, which Logitech Squeezebox radio addresses, with its high quality audio output, low distortion, relatively easy set up, and wireless connection with your home connection.

Hello Webmaster, I noticed that http://thegadgetjunkie.com/iphone-into-igame is ranking pretty high on Google and has a good Google PageRank. Now the Google PageRank is how Google is able to see how relevant your webpage is compared to all the other webpages online, if you can rank high at the top of Google, then you will get the traffic you need. Now usually trying to get to the top of Google costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars and very highly optimized targeted marketing campaigns that takes a team of experts months to achieve. However, you did it fast and free! HOW?
