July 13 Run down that frog.The first of the summer XBLA games is out, and it's Frogger, the Konami classic is just the same old game, with a viewable area of the screen only been about 20% you need to get really close to you HD monitor. Not really a worth the 400 points unless your a hardcore Frogger fan save your points for Street Fighter 2 or Pac-Man. Graphics 2/5 Sound 1/5 Gameplay 2/5 Overall 2/5 July 03 Toy CarsI've been playing Forza Motorspot this weekend, just having fun modding cars and making people on Live go, wow, that looks cool. But one thing was missing, a in car view. This feature of PGR3 adds a layer of realism that a camera trailing behind a car, or on the front bumper or hood of the car. Without the in ca veiw the Forza feels like your racing toy cars, not a real car. Even Grand Theft Auto feels less real and more like toy now. This is one feature that I'm going to be looking for in the future for all my driving games. Sorry, not even GT4's roof cam feels realistic now. June 29 I get to finish old games.I know lots of people complain about the lack of games over the Summer period, but I think it's actually a good thing. I just completed Burnout Revenge, something I've been meaning to do for a while, but simply had other games to play. I've gotten through more of Oblivion's side quest in the last month then I have since launch.
This break really is a good thing, but in the middle of Summer seems badly timed. June 18 A Lite week.Well I've had the DS Lite, and totally love it, my wrist are more comfortable with the new smaller size, the screen is bright enough to play outside in the middle of the day. I kinda gave up on the first DS, but I am so happy with the new DS Lite that I've ordered a couple of games new games for it. This is simply a great portable console and beats the old DS hands down, and hands my much more expensive PSP and ass whooping also because it just dose one thing ad dose it well, play games. June 13 First Impression - DS LiteSo I decided to give in and get a DS Lite, and so far I'm very happy. Smaller, brighter, more vibrant colors and a nicer design. I'm going to play with it between my360 and WoW sesions and I'll give a review later. June 12 Review - New Super Mario Bros.So after what seems like half a lifetime Nintendo has finally made a new installment in the Super Mario Bros. serise.
While the basic gameplay is a great, classic, 2D side scrolling platformer, the graphics engine however is a brand new 3D engine, that looks amazingly good. Making a unique visual style that is nothing short of perfect for this game.
The sound is what you would expect if you have played a Mario game or two, all the normal sound effects, background music are tipical Mario, well implimented, but nothing ground breaking.
If you played Super Mario Bros. or its two previous sequills you know what to expect, jump on some heads, toss some fire balls and even take a quick swim. Where it varies from the older games in in the addition of the Butt Stomp and Wall Kick from Mario 64. The addition of two new mushrooms make no differance to the over all game, with the tiny and huge mushies doing what you would expect, making Mario really small so he can enter small pipes made for a conveniently placed small mushie, and the huge mushie makes Mario, well, huge, and can walk through anything. Neither seem as well implemented as the standard pickups.
Overall, this game is a deffinent buy, with classic gameplay in a new package, it dosn't matter if your young or old this is a simple, fun, addictive game that is a worthy sucsessor to Super Mario Bros. 3.
