Army of Two The Devils Cartel Review & Gameplay

 

Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel is a third-person shooter video game developed by the Montreal branch of Visceral Games. 





 It is the third game in the Army of Two series, following 2008's Army of Two and 2010's Army of Two: The 40th Day. The game takes place in Mexico and pits T.W.O. against a ruthless drug cartel known as La GuadaƱa. It is the first game in the series to run on the Frostbite 2 game engine where as the previous two ran on Unreal Engine 3







Where as the last two games focused around characters, Salem and Rios, Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel will focus around two new T.W.O. operatives named Alpha and Bravo. It is speculated that the reasoning behind the unidentified names is to give the player the feeling that it is them fighting through the missions.
Returning from the first game is the Overkill mode, which makes both players invincible for a short period of time. However, features such as back to back, playing rock, paper and scissors with your partner, and other co-op interactions have been removed in favor of a more fast-paced gameplay and fast -pace is what you get its smooth and just a really good third-person shooter and a brilliant storyline to go with it I really enjoyed this game I'm glad I checked this game out because I wasn't going to with all the mixed reviews from critics flying about with the big guns IGN giving it 5.0 also OXM 5.0 and a metascore of 54 it wasn't looking to good for Army of Two The Devils Cartel but I wasn't disappointed in my eyes it the best in the series so far. so if your looking for a game where you just feel like a total bad ass or your starring in an Micheal Bay/Jerry Bruckheimer then this game is for you. There's only one thing that bugged me with this game was Alpha and Bravo can’t even roll to avoid enemy fire and the enemies are easily the worst aspect of the experience. The AI are just rubbish characters will just charge out of cover with a death wish, they’ll let you run up and stab them without even reaching for the trigger thank god that partner AI is decent – he can always be counted upon to revive you and not get into too much trouble on his own

Gears of War Judgement Review and Gameplay


Gears of War: Judgment is a third-person shooter that Epic Games and People Can Fly developed as the fourth entry to the Gears of War series, a follow-up that Microsoft Studios published for the Xbox 360

Gears of War : Judgement is back to business as usual it start with Kilo Squad is put on trial for various crimes by Colonel Ezra Loomis and is given the chance to explain their actions.Following orders, Kilo checks out a convoy in the Old Town part of Halvo Bay only to find it destroyed. Kilo proceeds to battle through Old Town and into the Museum of Military Glory where they encounter the fearsome Locust General Karn and his mount Shibboleth accompanied by hundreds of Locust. Contacting Colonel Loomis, Cadet Sofia Hendrick suggests using a powerful weapon known as the Lightmass Missile to take Karn out, but Loomis is against the idea. Realizing how dangerous Karn is, Kilo decides to do it anyways and travels to the Onyx Guard Academy where they find and protect the missile's targeting beacon, a bot that Lieutenant Damon Baird later names Troy. With Troy in their possession, Kilo travels to the Seashore Hills to the mansion of Professor Elliot, creator of the missile in order to get the launch codes needed to fire the missile. Fighting into the mansion, Kilo must defend Troy from repeated waves of Locust as he downloads the launch codes. Once they have the codes, Kilo travels to the island of Onyx Point where the missile itself is, fighting through entrenched Locust forces to reach and arm the missile. Despite orders to the contrary, they arm the missile and head back to the museum where they figure Karn is heading to lay a trap. Fighting across the rooftops of Old Town, Kilo sends Troy in to guide the missile and despite Loomis threatening to execute them if they go through with their plan, Baird fires the Lightmass Missile at the museum, blowing it up and killing hundreds of Locust, Karn presumably among them. Kilo then defends themselves from a massive Locust attack on their rooftop and once its over, they are arrested by Loomis for their actions. the story plays out as flashbacks as Lt.Damon Baird tells the story of Gears of War Judgement.






The gameplay uses star system structure with earning a max of 3 stars for an perfect round and activating a Declassify option multiplies the rate at which you earn stars. Leaderboards and arcade scoring are one thing, but this is another of Judgment’s clever ploys to tinker with the way we play Gears. Knowing what scores big points can drive you in a specific direction – if you want to score big, maybe risking an explosive Torque Bow’s limited ammo instead of the Markza sniper rifle’s full clip is worth your while. Judgment’s evaluation of skill is rewarding in its own right, especially when you know you’ve conquered a tough Declassify mission. That it unlocks additional content, like the Aftermath campaign. with the new system judgement does feel fresh and works better with the faster pace but somehow it feels like i have been here, done that, got the t-shirt sort of thing. but ofcourse it still play to high standard and looks good with the bulletstorm developer doing a great job.

Gears of War Judgement Overrun First Impressions


Hi Gear-heads

Here's my first impressions of the Gears of War Judgement overrun, Today 19/03/13 sees the release of the early access of the Gears of War online multiplayer beta/demo which is now available on Xbox Live for Gold memberships. My first impressions of overrun is it's like an mix of horde/beast modes from Gears of War 3 but its not in an wave structure like horde or beast modes of GOW3 its a constant onslaught, The Gears of War Judgement Overrun multiplayer demo gives you access to the game’s class- and team-based competitive mode, which sees the Locust and COG fighting over objectives to either defend or destroy targets. What’s great about this demo is that any experience points you earn while playing the taster will be transferred over to the full game if you decided to invest in this game this week.

                         
 
I think the overrun mode is brilliant, fresh and a welcome change in my eyes, it's just what the gears series needed, cant wait for the games release on 22nd march but this online beta/demo will definitely make it easier wait till Friday

Metal Gear Rising Revengence


Metal Gear Rising- Revengence is an action video game developed by Platinum Games and produced by Kojima Productions

Wow Metal Gear Rising- Revengeance was one of my most anticiated games of this year, but now it's finally here all I can say is how disappointed I am. I was a massive fan of the MGS series I thought it was amazing playing MGS on the PS1 nothing out there was better then it but some how I believe it has lost its way because it looks like an MGS game and with the new fox engine it looks amazing but its just not MGS.The gameplay just didn't do it for me as I found myself dying lots of times and that for me is frustrating, hard and just not enjoyable to play. I've played (Platinum games) before i.e Bayonetta,Vanquish and ive really enjoyed them but this one its just not for me.


The gameplay focuses on fighting enemies using a sword and multiple sub weapons to perform combos and counterattacks. The game introduces the Blade Mode feature which allows the player to dismember cyborgs in slow motion and steal parts stored in their bodies. The series' stealth elements are also optional to reduce combat. The game was originally announced in 2009 under the title of Metal Gear Solid: Rising, and was intended to act as an interquel between the events of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. This form of the game was to be produced solely by Kojima Productions. However, the team met with difficulties in developing a game based on swordplay, so the franchise director Hideo Kojima cancelled it and it should have stopped that way, gameplay for me was just to hard,bosses was unbeatable I would give them loads of hits and nothing would happen but one combo from them and I was dead. Even on the easy setting it was hard in the end I just give up.
I was really excited about this game and got even more so when the reviews from the big guns come out with Ign giving it 8.5, Gamespot 8.5 I thought we might be on too a winner and It wasn't for me, but if you love the devil may cry's and ninja gaiden games then I would give a try and see what you think but for me it's a epic fail and a massive disappointment .

Tomb Raider Review & Gameplay


 Tomb Raider is an action-adventure platform video game.Published by Square Enix and developed   by Crystal Dynamics. Tomb Raider also includes character progression, skill upgrades,side-quests and craft system, platforming exploration and survival mechanics and a campaign that will last around 12 to 15 hours .







Left, Camilla Luddington shes the face and the
         voice of the rebooted Lara Croft







Let me start straight away with that I think, this is one of the best story driven, well written, very well presented game I have played so far this year, not once did i want to put down my pad, not once did i feel I had lost my connection with any of the character.
I really enjoyed this games even though at one point I wasn't even going to play the game again as I was 36% into the game and I jump into somewhere I don't think I was meant to go and I couldn't get out or start at the last checkpoint as it kept starting me in the area I couldn't get out off, so basically I had to start again from the start, which of course I wasn't too happy about!
The game begins with Lara travelling on the ship called Endurance commanded by Conrad Roth, an old friend of the Croft family and former Royal Marine. Also there Reyes Roths lover, as well as several specialists are on board. Alex, a computer specialist, Johah a fisherman, Samantha, Laras old collage friend and also Dr.Whitman who is a celebrity archaeologist who is desperate to make a big find and escape bankruptcy.


The group are searching for the lost Japanese nation of the yamatai against Dr.Whitmans protests,
the ship follows Lara's advice anyway and enters the Dragon's Triangle, an area renowned for
causing ships to disappear. when the ship got struck by a violent storm and splits in two, Lara awakens on a beach but is knocked unconscious by an unknown assailant. This is when we start the nail biting edge of your seat roller coaster ride never in my life have I played a character that gets so beaten, banged up, impaled or shot at, the ordeal she has to go through would make anyone loose their mind but not Lara she battles on bruised and bleeding and still she kicks ass to escape the island.
As you can properly tell I fell in love with this game, at first I thought it was just going to be an uncharted clone but I was wrong, it might have used the uncharted template but with a story to match any AAA Hollywood movie with the action that is fast, brutal and combat that is tight.
Overall this game is a must buy .

Aliens Colonial Marines Review & Gameplay










Aliens colonial marines has had some what of a car crash of an development with up to 4 studios developing the game Gearbox Software, Nerve Software ,TimeGate Studios, Demiurge Studios (Wii U).



 

It all starts Seventeen weeks after the events of Aliens the search-and-rescue Colonial Marine team on board the Conestoga-class space cruiser USS Sephora receive a distress call sent from the USS Sulaco. The Sephora sends squads to investigate the missing ship, in orbit around LV-426 and not Fiorina-161 as it was supposed to be during the events of Alien 3. A massive xenomorph infestation is discovered inside the Sulaco, and several marines are killed. While investigating the ship Corporal Winter, Sergeant O'Neal and Private Bella discover Weyland-Yutani PMC commanding the Sulaco and using Sephora marines as hosts to the xenomorphs. The hostile corporate mercenaries attack the Sephora using the Sulaco's weaponry and both ships are destroyed after the Sephora retaliates. Winter, O'Neal, Bella, Captain Jeremy Cruz, Sephora android Bishop, and drop ship pilot Lieutenant Reid crash-land on LV-426 and take shelter in the ruins of the Hadley's Hope colony complex, which was almost completely destroyed after the destruction of its atmosphere processor. Captain Cruz orders all the other survivors from the Sephora to gather at the Hadley Hope's ruins.

Aliens Colonial Marines isn't the sexiest game I've ever played, but when you can put a that a side then it starts to look promising because it looks like aliens and feels like aliens! They have everything from the Pulse Rifle To The Motion Tracker which will get any aliens film fan heart pumping... I know it did to mine! Also Micheal Biehn has reprise his role as cpl Dwayne Hicks, also Lance Henriksen as Bishop but when the novelty wears off it turns into an very very basic FPS and repetitive most of the time as time is spent holding down the fire button while aliens run at you. It's one of the most basic, one-dimensional first-person shooters I've played in a while, with no tactical depth to speak of. Smart enemies are absolutely crucial to a good FPS also the dialogue is terrible too... Really seriously bad! They've tried to ape the film's notoriously macho military slang, but it comes across like a cheap imitation, and the actors' attempts to sound like hardened soldiers are unconvincing with sayings like (you know the drill chicks and dicks) overall its a disappointing affair, to what could have been an amazing game from what i think is an amazing franchise.

He discovers the city has been encased in a giant Nanodome created by the corrupt CELL. The Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. Prophet is said to be on a "revenge mission" after uncovering the truth behind C.E.L.L.'s motives for building the quarantined Nanodomes. The citizens were told that the giant citywide structures were erected to protect the population and to cleanse these metropolises of the remnants of Ceph forces. In reality, the Nanodomes are C.E.L.L.'s covert attempt to conquer the world through weapons and technology.

Dead Space 3 Review & Gameplay Footage


**May Contain Spoilers**

Dead space 3 is a third-person shooter survival horror video game, developed by visceral games and published by electronic arts.

You start with an intro explaining about the markers, If you haven't played dead space before, then the markers are a statue of unseen power and there's powerful people who want to harvest this power into unlimited energy. After the intro of Dead Space 3 it follows the Galaxy's unluckiest engineer, Isaac Clarke as he takes up the fight to protect the human race from the mysterious markers and its necrospawn.This begins with Isaac heading off to rescue Ellie, his missing girlfriend who returns from Dead Space 2, Also Isaac is joined by John Carver, the first playable co-op character in the series.

For the first disc of Dead Space 3 it will be the Dead Space that we all know and love. Running through dark long tunnels with a sense of dread as you don't know what will be around the corner. You're low on ammo and life, and on the edge of your seat hoping that the next Nercospawn onslaught isn't going to happen when you're low on life and ammo, which 9 times out of 10 does happen.
You then find yourself running for your life trying to somehow stop with Jedi-like kinesis to impale enemies with their own torn off limbs or other tools like slow-mo, inducting stasis and gravity-manipulation kinesis puts a fresh spin on typical shooter affair. Even if you played the first two games, Dead Space 3's combat is still some of the most unique and satisfying of this console generation.


By Disc 2 you would have crashed on the frozen planet of Tau Volantis, where Isaac must comb the harsh environment for raw materials and scavenged parts. He will then put his engineering skills to test to create and customise weapons and survival tools. The ice planet holds the key to ending the Necromorph plague forever, but first Isaac must overcome avalanches,treacherous ice-climbs,and the violent wilderness. Facing deadlier evolved enemies and the brutal elements at this point it turns into more of an action game rather than a horror, in which true Dead Space die hard fans (me being one of them) it disappoints! Because if i wanted to play an action game i would have played Gears of War or some other third-person shooter.

But as a whole that is my problem with the game as the game looks amazing Visceral Games highly modified Godfather engine handily renders everything in glistening,crystalline clarity.
Also gameplay time if played slowly and methodically, looking for every artifact, hidden items and Peng!, you can spend between 15-20 hours, including all the optional side missions, Once you beat it and then start grinding for overclocked and supercharged weapon parts in new game+, you can run it in 8-10 hours. Same goes for co-op as its a faster play through



Verdict 8/10
