Kinect Sports Review

JettLeave a comment

Motion-controlled sports games are a dime a dozen nowadays. Ever since Wii Sports laid out the blueprint, its been copied countless times. Odds are, you’ve already burned out on Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Sports Champions, Deca Sports and countless other takes on the same real-life sports.

Microsoft is hoping that you still have an appetite for motion sports and you’re willing to pay for it. Unlike the Wii Sports series or Sports Champions, which are packed in with something else, Kinect Sports is a stand-alone game that retails for $50. Is this too much to ask for a different version of the same sports you’ve played many times before?

A few weeks back, Capcom Arcade updated its lineup of games to include Street Fighter II: Championship Edition. If you bought Street Fighter II like I did, you should feel burned, because this makes your purchase obsolete. However, you also should have seen this coming.

Kinect Adventures Review

Jett4 Comments

As Microsoft’s answer to Wii Sports, Kinect Adventures has some big shoes to fill. Whether they admit it or not, Microsoft hopes that Kinect Adventures will be that game that sells you and everyone you know on the peripheral, just like Wii Sports did. Does this pack-in title pack the punch of its Wii rival, or is it just another mini game collection?

Am I Ready for Dead Space 2?

Jett6 Comments

 

The hype train for Dead Space 2 has been gradually building for the past year or so. While the original game got off to a slow sales start, it eventually sold really well and won a lot of people over. I for one gave the game a shot around this time last year and was very impressed. Almost too impressed in a way. You see, that game was so good at being scary that I couldn’t handle the fear anymore.

JettLeave a comment

 

They may be two months late, but Ubisoft finally listened to me. Well, at least to a number of people like me who have been having a number of issues with Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. On their Facebook page, Ubisoft announced that they’ll be fixing a number of issues with the game, including the Animus glitch that I ran into. All of these fixes will appear in Title Update 3, which doesn’t have a release date yet, but Ubisoft claims will be out very soon.

Early Impressions of Blur

JettLeave a comment

In a world where Gran Turismo 5 and Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit have just come out, picking up Blur seems like an odd choice. This PGR/Mario Kart hybrid didn’t exactly set the world on fire, but the demo left enough of a positive impact on me to keep it on my ‘buy it eventually’ list, which I finally did over the weekend.

It’s a shame that this game did not get a foothold among gamers, cause it’s kind of awesome.

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Single-Player Review

Jett4 Comments

Experiencing a game-breaking glitch is not an easy thing to deal with. Depending on how late in the game it occurs and how long the game is, a game-breaking glitch can screw you out of hours of your life. If it weren’t for the fact that the glitch happened relatively early for me (and the fact that I really wanted to play this game), I would have dropped it like a hot potato. Instead, I gave it a second chance and played it through to completion without a hitch. Was the single-player worth the hours I lost and the frustration I felt early on?

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood 1.03 Patch Does Not Fix Game-Breaking Glitch

JettLeave a comment

 

A few days ago, Ubisoft released the 1.03 patch for Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood on the PlayStation 3. I’m assuming that this patch was also released to XBOX 360 players. If you were a victim of the Animus glitch like me, and you were hoping that the next update would fix it, I’ve got some bad news for you.

(Spoilers: the answer is in the title of this post)
