Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon was released a few days ago, October 9TH, 2006, on the Xbox and PS2. What a disappointment! Where do I start first with, the graphics are outdated (Yes I know the PS2 is really old and outdated, but it was no different on the Xbox ether), the sound effects are terrible and both the graphics and sounds are recycled from previous games of this series.

The game feels almost like it's the last game released and not a new one. I rate it a 6.8, I wouldn't buy it even if your a big fan of the Mortal Kombat series, instead rent it as this game won't offer you much fun.

Scarface: The World Is Yours

Scarface: The World Is Yours was released today, October 8TH, 2006, on the PS2, PC and Xbox. Like the name suggests, the game is based on Scarface the movie, but the game doesn't start where the movie does, but starts where the movie ends. In the movie Tony Montana is killed in the end by a guy that comes from behind him, but the game rewrites that, where you don't die.

You start from the bottom again, you lost everything, the money, drugs and respect. In the game it's your goal to regain all that back and take what's yours. Many of the missions can feel boring and pointless, as if they had nothing to do with the story. And same with much of the storyline.

The nice thing they did was keep loading to a minimum, you can explore an open-ended map that lets you go in and out of buildings without any loading screens popping up. If you hit the talk button Tony starts cursing at people, it's quite enjoyable and funny to do. Overall the game had a few holes, but overall it's a fun game, I rate it a 7.5.

Madden NFL 07

Madden NFL 07 was realeased today, August 22ND, 2006, on PS2, PSP, PC, Xbox, GameCube, GBA and Xbox 360. Madden NFL 07 didn't live up to the series past games, though it's not worst than provous ones of the series, they didn't add much to the game. I rate it a 8.0, only worth renting if you have last year's Madden game.

NCAA Football 2007

NCAA Football 2007 was released today, July 18, 2006, for PS2, PSP, Xbox 360 and Xbox. NCAA Football is back and doesn't improve much from the past games in the series. I rate it 8.8, worth buying if you like football or NCAA sports.

Hitman: Blood Money

Hitman: Blood Money was released today, May 30, 2006, for PS2, PC, Xbox and Xbox 360. The newest Hitman game does a good job of keeping the old features, while making them better and adding new ones to the game. The AI is a little weak, but not as bad as it has been in previous games of the series and many other games are thousands of times worse than this game's AI.

The storyline is good and unlike the other games in the series is open-ended. After Each mission is completed you get a daily newspapper, which sums up the crime you commited, it really makes the game feel more a alive. The graphics are far better than what they were before, but on the Xbox 360 a little behide other games. Overall I rate this game 8.3, Blood Money is really worth your money.

Microsoft Buys Massive

Microsoft buys Massive, which is a advertising firm that specializes in serving ads in online games, so it looks like Microsoft may start putting more advertisement in it's games. Rumors of Microsoft buying Massive have been circulating for about a week. One interesting thing about this buyout is that Massive already signed deals with Sony Online Entertainment, Microsoft main gaming rival. Ads may soon start appearing on Xbox live.

The Godfather

The Godfather was released today, March, 21ST, 2006, on the PS2, PC, PSP and XBOX. The Godfather gets it's name from the movie and is based on it. The Godfather puts you in the role of a character that didn't appear in the film, but however played a important role in the story. Your father was a loyal business man to the Godfather and gets gunned down by a rival mob. The Godfather takes you under his wings as your mother has asked the Don to.

Sound and graphics are not the greatest, but they don't hurt the game ether. While the music isn't anything like what we've seen on GTA games, it still sets well with the game, the music is what you expect from a mob game or movie. The storyline is long and can be challenging enough to keep it going. The map big and does a good job of looking like New York in the 1940s.


Overall I rate this game a 8.6, anyone the likes GTA type games should have this apart of their game collection.

Fight Night Round 3

Fight Night Round 3 was released today for PS2, PSP, Xbox and Xbox 360 and it delivers what you would expect from the game series. It features many of the same playing modes from the previous games, such as career, play now, online multi-player modes and now offers the all-new ESPN Classic mode, which allows you to fight in some of the biggest matches in boxing history.

Graphics are soild with amazing models, many unique animations and many other things. The voice acting and sound is great as well. When you hear boxers on the game get hit it almost sounds like your there in the ring. Overall I rate this 8.5, if you like boxing you got to have this game.

Xbox 360 Released

Microsoft gets a head-start on the next-generation console war by releasing the Xbox 360 today (November, 22, 2005) in the United States and Canada. And soon will be followed by being released in Europe on the 2ND of December and December 10TH for Japan. This could allow the Microsoft Xbox 360 to become the most popular next-generation console when it's all said and done.

Consumers will be able to buy two different types of Xbox 360s, the Premium Package will be priced at $399 USD and the Core System will be priced at $299 USD. The Premium Package will have a wireless controller, Xbox Live headset, component HD AV cable, ethernet cable, one month trial of Xbox Live Gold and hard drive. While the Core System will only have composite AV cable and a wired controller.

There is no doubt which package hardcore gamers will get, as they'll need a hard drive or memory unit to play online, to save games and to original Xbox games.
