Now, Nintendo is taking things to the next level by transforming the way people access, experience, create and share content with the new Nintendo DSi system, the third iteration of the world's best-selling portable video game system<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#33ffff;">The System</span></strong><br />The Nintendo DSi is a high-powered handheld video game system in a sleek, folding design-loaded with features designed to create a unique gaming experience. Like the DS and DS Lite before it, the DSi features Nintendo's trademark stylus-driven touchscreen technology, but determined to make portable gaming simultaneously larger and smaller in all the right places, Nintendo has also created the DSi with significantly larger screens and an even slimmer body design than its earlier cousins. Other features include the ability to snap photos with built-in cameras, edit and send them to friends, play back your music with Nintendo DSi Sound, or browse the Internet with the Nintendo DSi Browser. From playing games to just playing around, the Nintendo DSi does it all.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#66ff99;">Features:<br /><br />The DSi's Two Digital Cameras<br /></span></strong>The most noticeable feature of the slim Nintendo DSi system are its two cameras - one camera is situated on the external body pointing away from the user, and the second one points at the user when the device is flipped open. As the first truly interactive digital camera in a video game system, the DSi Cameras feature 10 different interactive "lenses" that can manipulate your photos, offering an easy way to take and share your photos with family and friends. The cameras also present people with unprecedented ways to interact with their games, and in the process provide developers with a new tool to devise creative games and experiences. If the touch screen gave Nintendo DS a sense of feel and the microphone allowed it to hear, the two cameras give Nintendo DSi the sense of sight.<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#66ff99;">The DSiWare<br /></span></strong>In the world of software, Nintendo DSi will be the platform for the most relevant and fun on-the-go games and applications. The Nintendo DSiWare application will populate Nintendo DSi with software that can be downloaded using Nintendo DSi Points directly to the portable system, just as WiiWare has with Nintendo's Wii console. Developers big and small are invited to create software that makes use of the properties and functions of the hardware. Nintendo DSiWare games and applications will be available at a range of values, starting at 200 points.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#66ff99;">Games and Backwards Compatibility</span></strong><br />In addition to downloadable games, Nintendo DSi is able to play games made specifically for the system and sold at retail. The system can also play most Nintendo DS games, and will have access to a library of more than 850 titles originally made for that system. As an example of the quality of games that DSi players can expect to see both from both Nintendo and third-party game developers, at the launch of the DSi Nintendo is also releasing Rhythm Heaven. A wildly popular rhythm game in Japan, where it has sold nearly 2 million copies since its release in mid 2008, Rhythm Heaven features catchy tunes, charming characters, and a wide variety of rhythm games as it makes maximum use of the DSi's functionality.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#66ff99;">What's in the Box<br /></span></strong>Each DSi comes complete with: one Nintendo DSi System, one Nintendo DSi stylus, one Nintendo DSi AC power adapter, an easy start guide, manuals (basic and controls) and a support booklet.<br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#66ff99;">Nintendo DSi Camera<br /></span></strong><br />-Two cameras.<br />-Ten interactive lenses.<br />-Endless fun for you and your friends.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#66ff99;">Nintendo DSi Sound<br /></span></strong><br /><br />-Record your voice.<br />-Play with your voice.

Wholesale change doesn't breed success, but incremental improvements usually do. This is also the case for Football Manager--or Worldwide Soccer Manager, as it's known in some regions--as developer Sports Interactive has demonstrated with the continual progress of the franchise since its rebirth in 2004.<br /><br />You start out by creating a manager, who for the first time can be female, and you then choose to work for one of thousands of clubs in more than 50 countries. Launched straight into preseason, you have to try to get your house in order and make any last-minute signings before playing any games. With your management in place, you have to decide on your first team to take on a few friendly matches before the first season gets underway.<br /><br /><br /><br />The international game plays a part even at club level, because players get called up and injured.<br /><br /><br />Football Manager 09 covers pretty much every conceivable aspect of being a real manager. Before matches, you have to give your team words of encouragement--urging them to "do it for the fans" and other such platitudes--and set up instructions for dealing with the opposition players. If there's a player whose temper may fray a little easily, you can instruct your players to mark him very closely and tackle him hard in an attempt to frustrate them. If there's someone who you know will be particularly dangerous, then ideally you want to make your defenders close him down whenever possible.<br /><br />During the match itself, you can control your formation and lineup at all times, but major changes won't come into effect until a stop in play. Other more subtle tweaks, such as wasting time when you're trying to hang on to a narrow margin, can be made instantly via the tactics menu. These changes do add up to significant differences on the pitch; fail to pick up the opposition's target man and you're scuppered, but take advantage of an opponent's lack of width after a substitution and you can make a game turn on a sixpence.<br /><br />Although the differences in the actual gameplay of Football Manager 08 and 09 are not as marked as they were between 07 and 08, there are a number of notable improvements to justify the upgrade. The headline feature is the new match engine, which has finally made the transition to 3D. This serves to increase your immersion because it helps remove the feeling that you're just poking a spreadsheet.<br /><br /><br />However, the new view isn't without its issues. Although some players are recognisable, the vast majority lack the appearance and movement of their real-life counterparts. There are also innumerable visual inconsistencies with the way players run, turn, and move, all of which put a damper on proceedings. Another thing that may grate is the fact that stadiums are not shown in this view, either; they appear simply as odd grey blocks around the pitch, with no detail whatsoever and little to differentiate any one ground from any other. Although the ability to watch the crowd rather than the players would be a foolish move, the lack of anything surrounding the action is an odd choice that further serves to give you the impression that the engine isn't ready for public consumption quite yet.<br /><br />However, the change of engine does bring with it a few perks. The TV view is a boon because it offers a range of customisable information displayed around the action. This can include your players' fitness, how well they're playing, and even detailed notes about what the team as a whole is doing well and how they could improve.<br /><br />Some of the less obvious changes are just as rewarding. After the revamp to the help and wizard systems last year, your right-hand man has now been improved to help you get the most out of the game. Whereas before he would pick your team when you were too lazy to work out who your best 11 were, now he gives comprehensive feedback when asked about your players, tactics, or the opposition; in fact, he's the man who offers all of the real-time match-day feedback. This can be useful, even for experienced managers, especially when you're driven to distraction trying to work out why your all-star team is a goal down to Scunthorpe.<br /><br />Training has also received some subtle tweaks to make the setup more realistic. You can no longer put your charges through unreasonably harsh regimes to boost their skills without expecting to see a drop-off in performance due to overwork or injury. Then there's the obligatory overhaul of the 300,000-player database, retaining Football Manager's place as the most authentic game in its genre.<br /><br />Outside of match days, the game looks very much as it did last year. The visual style that was introduced in FM08 is still very much in evidence, but the game lacks music and there are very few sound effects outside of matches. Online play exists in the rudimentary form that has existed in the franchise for many years, allowing for directly connected players to control teams in the same league, but this is unlikely to be of interest to any but a very select few.<br /><br />Football Manager 09 feels like a much lighter update than last year, and though the match engine does represent a major new feature, it's definitely flawed. That said, the improvements around the engine do serve to enhance the match-day experience, and the core game still sucks you in with its immersive and comprehensive gameplay, even if it's not the most attractive game in the world to look at. Football Manager 2009 is a great game that captures the highs and lows of following a real football team, and it once again manages to justify the ticket price, even for those who coughed up last season.<br /></div><br /><br /><p align="center"><iframe style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" border="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=earssit-20&o=1&p=48&l=st1&mode=videogames&search=Soccer&fc1=000000&lt1=&lc1=3366FF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" frameborder="0" width="728" scrolling="no" height="90"></iframe></p>Star Platinumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04229937491630733099noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655241793509427674.post-8963218582654912842008-11-08T08:55:00.000-08:002008-11-08T08:59:11.623-08:00Tomb Raider Underworld<p class="Section1"><div style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 22.5pt"><br /><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012N746W/?tag=earssit-20" target="_blank"><span style="TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none"><img id="_x0000_i1025" height="210" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51UqivK-DAL._SL210_.jpg" width="182" border="0" /></span></a></p><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><p></p><p class="Section1">Have a nice time i find Tomb Raider: Underworld Coming Soon I find this from<br />Amazon I will That interes, You that Agree?. </p><br /><div class="Section1"><br /> </div><div class="Section1"> </div><div class="Section1"> </div><div class="Section1"> </div><div class="Section1"><br /> </div><div class="Section1"> </div><div class="Section1"> </div><div class="Section1"> </div><div class="Section1"> </div><div class="Section1"> </div><div class="Section1"> </div><div class="Section1"><strong>About Tomb Raider: Underworld detail</strong></div><div class="Section1"><br /><br /></div><div class="Section1"><ul type="disc"><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Amazon Sales Rank: #194 in<br />Computer & Video Games </li><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Brand: Eidos</li><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Model: 1000044581</li><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Released on: 2008-11-18</li><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">ESRB Rating: Teen</li><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Platform: PLAYSTATION 3</li><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Dimensions: .20 pounds </li></ul></div><br /><h3>Features</h3><ul type="disc"><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Tomb Raider: Underworld for<br />Nintendo PlayStation 3 by Eidos resumes where Tomb Raider: Legend left off<br />and introduces a new, interactive playing environment</li><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Lara Croft explores a wide<br />array places, such as the Arctic, Mexico, and beneath the Mediterranean<br />Sea</li><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Environment is much more<br />realistic and interactive -- footprints will be left in mud, for example,<br />but only until it rains and then they will wash away</li><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Melee combat system that<br />requires players to strategically strike with offensive, defensive, and<br />evasive maneuvers</li><br /><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Improved AI allows enemies<br />and animals to make decisions based on surroundings, employ ambush and<br />squad tactics, and even retreat if deemed necessary</li></ul><h2>Product Description</h2><p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt">For generations, stories have been told of the<br />fearsome weapon of Thor, the Norse god of thunder.

Hell yeah!!! I love everything about this game! From the grahics, sound,<br />online, co-op, and especially the gameplay. Resistance 1's gameplay was good,<br />but for some reason, Insomniac made it a lot more satisfying when pressing the<br />trigger and taking out one of the plentiful variety of Chimeras, which are the<br />main enemies you'll be encountering through the game.<br /><br />This game will last you awhile. I've had it for about 3 days, and since of<br />school and everything, I've barely manged to squeeze 6-7 hours out of the<br />single player. I'm pretty sure I'm almost done with the single player campaign<br />but there are two modes that will keep me preoccupied this Thanksgiving and<br />holiday, and that's 8 player online co-op and the 60 player competitive online<br />matches. I didn't get the chance to play the final co-op and competitive modes<br />but I did play the beta, and from what I've played, it's the next Call of Duty<br />4 for the PS3!<br /><br />If you don't have this game yet, get it now!

However, my<br />main problem is that online disconnects are not punished by losses, which makes<br />the ranked games pretty much meaningless. The graphics are fantastic as<br />expected, the music is decent, the menus are good enough, team selection is<br />great, but the lack of realism almost makes me go back to Winning Eleven (Pro<br />Evolution)... </p><p><span class="reviewtitle">Solid Game</span><img class="custReviewStars" id="_x0000_i1027" height="11" alt="5" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png" width="56" border="0" name="pngImage" /><br /><br />I am not a hardcore gamer, but I love Soccer video games. When I was using my<br />PS2 (stopped a couple of years ago), I bought into the hype of the Winning<br />Eleven/PES series, and definitely enjoyed the games. Due to the conventional<br />wisdom of the hardcore players out there, I avoided FIFA like the plague. Fast<br />forward to now, and I have a PS3. I was itching to get a Soccer game, and<br />figured I'd skip the '08 editions and wait for the '09 editions. FIFA '09 was<br />released first instead of PES '09, so I jumped on it.<br /><br /><br /><br />Not having played any recent-generation Soccer games, I can't quite compare it<br />all that much <span class="GramE">to</span> recent games, but I have been having<br />a ball (no pun intended) playing FIFA '09. Gameplay probably isn't perfect, but<br />it seems great to me. Everything is smooth, no choppiness, graphics are good,<br />and it is simply a fun game to play. Passing, crossing, shooting, etc. are all<br />pretty quick to get the hang of. Of course, I have a lot more work to do to get<br />all of the gameplay down.<br /><br /><br /><br />Frankly, I am in heaven having all of the big leagues and international teams,<br />with the correct players, kits, etc. What I had to go through to get any level<br />of team/player realism with Winning Eleven on the PS2... (<span class="GramE">we</span><br />all know they don't have most of the licenses compared with the FIFA series).<br />With FIFA '09, I can power up, choose Manchester United against AC Milan, and<br />have Rooney, Ronaldo, etc. going up against Pirlo, Nesta, etc. with no issue. <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:personname productid="La Liga" st="on">La Liga</st1:personname>, Premiership, Serie A, and more. I love it.<br /><br /><br />There are a ton of advanced options and features that I won't go into such as<br />seasons, online, etc., but if you have the time and passion for it, I am sure<br />there is plenty to sink your teeth into with this game.<br /><br /><br />All in all, I am very pleased with FIFA '09, and have cancelled my preorder for<br />PES '09 for the PS3. Good work EA Sports.<br /></p><p><span class="reviewtitle">Great Game, Lots of fun....but where are the weather<br />effects?</span><img class="custReviewStars" id="_x0000_i1028" height="11" alt="4" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star40_tpng.png" width="56" border="0" name="pngImage" /><br /><br />This game is awesome.

It starts slowly but that doesn't<br />last long (about 15 minutes). It was hard at first for me to get used to this<br />type of RPG since I normally play Japanese style RPGs. But just as with the<br />Japanese RPGs the combat system is what hooked me. I strongly recommend you put<br />all 5 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points into agility--and save your game before leaving<br />Vault 101. You may not know what I'm talking about now, but just wait. You will<br />love this game. It is so big, and I do recommend getting the strat guide.</p><div class="Section1" align="left"><br /><br /></div><p class="Section1" align="left"><span class="reviewtitle">Excellent game, comprehensive review.</span><img class="custReviewStars" id="_x0000_i1027" height="11" alt="5" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png" width="56" border="0" name="pngImage" /><br /><br />I recently bought 3 new games for PS3; Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, and<br />Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is by far the winner for me. Little Big Planet is<br />incredible in its own right, but Fallout 3 deserves 10 stars. Resistance 2, has<br />great graphics, but the single player really lacks something that it had in the<br />first game. I understand that the online play is now amazing, but I'm a story<br />guy so that's what I'm playing for.<br /><br /><br />Food analogy for these three games;<br /><br />Resistance 2; A nice brunch, but some of the guests are irritating.<br /><br />Little Big Planet; Awesome snack party! Lets play again!<br /><br />Fallout 3; A 10 course meal of the best of all kinds of food. WOW!<br /><br />This review for Fallout 3 has minor spoilers.<br /><br />All three games are great, but so far I've had the most fun playing Fallout 3.<br />The scope of the game is huge, it feels huge, it looks huge, it sucks you in.<br />The plot seamlessly welds together, and the detail is incredible.<br /><br /><br />My wife, who is an amazing artist, took a look at this game while I was playing<br />and commented the following; "Whomever designed this game really knew what<br />they were doing. The color pallets are very well chosen so that everything in<br />the scene has the correct lighting feeling for the time of day."<br /><br /><br />I especially *love* the little details that make this game. First amazing<br />detail; Hacking the terminals is *very* close to the way you would break into a<br />real OpenVMS machine if you had console access. The terminals themselves look<br />like old VT100 terminals. You can break into a VMS machine from the console<br />(physical terminal) and the commands are not exactly the same, but when I saw<br />my character typing them in, I was so happy. I think the authors of this game<br />should be commended for their accuracy, and for their design choice. The<br />OpenVMS system is very old, very useful, very strong, and very stable. The<br />similar commands fit in *perfectly* with the look and feel of the terminals the<br />robot company makes in the game.<br /><br />Next up, the super mutants totally take lines from the villain<br />"Humungous" in Mad Max: Road warrior 2. "No more games!"<br />with the same delivery. This little detail is so perfect. There are little nods<br />like this to the Sci Fi genre throughout this game.<br /><br />Even the starting sequence of this game, and the load "slides" which<br />are modeled after 50's micro fiche are so perfectly in character for the rest<br />of the game that you find yourself wishing the load times when they show were<br />longer so you could pore over the details revealed.<br /><br />This game is so huge, and incredibly wide reaching. This is demonstrated by the<br />example of a side quest/area that is introduced through deft foreshadowing into<br />the game when your character inquires about the local area at one of the towns<br />in the game. The person you're talking to refers to this nearby place to stay<br />away from. "Its bad mojo!" So of course you think "Well I have<br />to go there next!" Next stop, terror! And 3/4 of the way through the side<br />quest you're asking yourself "Maybe I really should have listened to this<br />guy" as you're dying and irradiated in a terrifying area of doom! This<br />minor side quest is so big, and perfectly executed within the game that you<br />really feel like you're paid your money's worth.<br /><br />I think one of the things that some other reviewers mentioned is how cool it is<br />that you can treat the game like a real time game, or as a more turn based game<br />by using the V.A.T.S system. This lends flexibility to the game allowing you to<br />play it either as the biggest open ended fps you've ever played or as a giant<br />post apocolyptic RPG.<br /><br />Game strategy is introduced subtly by the npcs, making you feel like you are<br />there. An example of this is a side conversation you have with a kid who tells<br />you about the calamity that happened to his town. He describes how his father<br />would rant about the invaders and how to defeat them, but the kid doesn't<br />understand what his father meant. You end up using the strategy to avoid death<br />it a wonderful high quality Sci Fi B movie plot line yourself later.<br /><br />Each storyline in this excellent game is peeled back like layers of an onion,<br />that you slowly uncover. The graphics are eyepopping sure, but I must give the<br />writers for this game the highest praise. This is something that the author<br />Neal Stephenson writes about in his book Diamond Age. The idea that you can<br />have incredible immersion games that have a completely realistic physical<br />environment a la the matrix concept, but without a gripping storyline you've<br />got nothing. Well Fallout3 has the story lines, and it has them in spades. It<br />has the eye popping graphics, and the incredible detail. This game has it all.<br /><br />There is never a time in this game where the game mechanics themselves get in<br />the way of the play. You can save whenever you want, and the completely<br />transparent mechanics submerge you into the game environment.<br /><br />In conclusion, if you like adventures, and you like Sci Fi, get this incredible<br />Game.<br /><br /></p><p class="Section1" align="left"><span class="reviewtitle">What a Great Game!</span><img class="custReviewStars" id="_x0000_i1028" height="11" alt="5" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/star50_tpng.png" width="56" border="0" name="pngImage" /><br /><br />This is hands down the best game I've probably ever played. Everything about<br />Fallout 3 is incredible. The graphics aren't the best, but the amount of detail<br />and content definitely makes it a great looking game. The VATS system is<br />awesome and works well. A lot of people don't seem to like the third person<br />view, but I've been playing the whole game in 3rd person, and it's completely<br />fine. You can zoom in on the character and it reminds me of Resident Evil. I<br />really can't get into 1st person shooters, so I was very happy that they put in<br />a 3rd person perspective. There's plenty of people and creatures to interact<br />with and kill. It's cool that you have the choice to play good, bad or<br />somewhere in the middle. This is the kind of game that you don't put down, and<br />when you do put it down, all you can think about is picking it back up.<br />Everything about this game is amazing. Now, it does have it's share of minor<br />glitches, but what game doesn't?

We’re not exactly sure why the hype machine hasn’t been set into full-swing for a title within a franchise with some real history behind it, but nevertheless, Golden Axe: Beast Rider is in stores right now. For those of you not quite ready to be put out to pasture, Golden Axe is a franchise that originated in SEGA’s arcade heyday—circa 1987. </div><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264094141275597298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvyYsy5JOCQGDXY2P-TpXtUagNJAlZNdnfqLsKkKyQ9KqEahLRmDfAinAI6ERj5kbidVZJNZ32Q0CiwD64ndSaVESoDKm18Kbp8JBC7Q7c19nM0HryFYj38iwxYLpSJ0t0ssyUlS1CIMaV/s320/goldenaxe01.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Golden Axe dropped at the end of an impressive run for the System 16 hardware (the ‘16’ representing 16 bits), which included huge arcade hits for big blue. System 16 arcade ROM’s transferred nicely to the SEGA Genesis home console too; nice enough, in face, to put the “Mega Drive” into console’s top spot during the late 80’s. Golden Axe was like a barbarian version of Altered Beast: 16 bit hacking and slashing at its grandest. The undeveloped story revolves around three playable, medieval archetypes: barbarian, dwarf and amazon. Along with bladed attacks, each character can conjure up magic once potion vials are collected. The magic is tiered so that its effects become more powerful as potion vials are rationed.<br /><a href="http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/screen/79510/Golden-Axe-Beast-Rider/"></a><br />Golden Axe also smattered in some beast riding in order to keep the on-foot button mashing form getting old. Weird, mountable beings can throw fire and electricity, do tail whips and bull-rushes, and generally help the heroes become a bigger threat when outnumbered by the enemy (which is often). As developer of the first HD adventure for the franchise, Secret Level was asked to make a modern, third-person action game that harkens back to Golden Axe’s roots on a regular basis. Golden Axe: Beast Rider harkens just fine, but technical anomalies and the resultant lack of serious visual and gameplay prowess keep it from reaching Ninja Gaiden levels of remade glory. The adventures of Golden Axe: Beast Rider focus on Amazonian Tyris Flare for the playable, and the story elements which still involve the Death Adder (Golden Axe’s original final boss) and his evil bidding. </div><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264094148371981090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmmfJCRBOVD04f61n48CHChb-9alcal2dahvG65wh_FZeCTrH-eRDD7n4nGL_k3Ds4R3IQIdOL80oSEzBh1B5M7y5F5KoWFiY4TP5yegMZ88Yt4xlH2_i57i9n338X7Cvk6gpV6lxZj2Jn/s320/goldenaxe02.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>In terms of the story and its development, Golden Axe: Beast Rider isn’t too shabby. The game is steeped in some solid, medieval lore which is heavy on mysticism. Full cut scenes between levels and quick, in-game “minimatics” (miniature cinematics) have been handled quite well, and do a share of the storytelling. There’s a bit too much of the Golden Axe: Beast Rider’s backdrop revealed in on-screen text (mainly through scrolls strewn about the levels), but overall, it’s an intriguing presentation that gets better as the plot comes to a head. As with most hack-and-slash affairs, users are less interested in the princess getting rescued and more concerned with body count. Golden Axe: Beast Rider gives you plenty of tools for carnage, such as massive, bladed weapons and magic that can be quite nasty as things progress. A simple light/heavy attack system is flanked by separate magic and jump buttons. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Various combos of the melee attack button presses will perform different moves, including spinning slices and uppercut stabs. A “knockback” kick—useful for creating space between you and a foe or escaping a foe— can also be programmed by jamming on both light/heavy attack buttons at the same time. Aerial attacks can also be summoned, but the lack of height on jumps makes these jump attacks hard to master and not that useful. Lastly, magic can be cycled via the d-pad, and can be cast easily with the press of the B button. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>You’ll have to play a bit of defense in Golden Axe: Beast Rider as well. This is not only unfortunate because, well, defense means your hero isn’t drawing blood, but also because the system in place is not that fun. Color-coded attacks from enemies (they glow a specific hue when an attack is imminent) are meant to coincide with how a hero should respond defensively. A gold attack needs to be countered with an evasive maneuver, a blue attack can be parried, and a green attack can either be evaded or parried. </div><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264094155068334050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaP1XveOtOg50KJcjRKoWEp5F8Wz-FOMjrpKw2-32XMI238CwjDF5LgDsI6iQSel5jBttQvjWW39-XYoPbaDsH2NZAD3CNBCHraICAD0HJF2jMuW69Gz7auRJ2zDysoo6iaKTxmpgUFScb/s320/goldenaxe03.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>Unless your favorite game is Guitar Hero, the last thing you’ll want to do in a third person action game is match button mashes to corresponding colors. You’ll always be one step behind what the enemy is doing too, because this system isn’t overly dynamic. A better system would have been one that allowed active parrying, or one at least as free-form as the offensive palette in Beast Rider. The color-coded system works from the technical side (it won’t punish you if you do what it says, when it says to), but it detracts from the entertaining flow of the gameplay by sucking a bit of creativity out of the combat. </div><br /><br /><br /><div>Golden Axe: Beast Rider’s gameplay also suffers from coding that doesn’t allow it to run as planned. For instance, adding in user-controlled beasts is a nice changeup to Golden Axe: Beast Rider’s action—just as it was in the original game—but this engine becomes far too stressed when asked to handle large numbers of polygons per frame, let alone additional, finely modeled (and sometimes massive) sub-playable characters. The result is visual staccato, and a related lack of smoothness to the combat that, at crucial times, brings the entire affair to its knees. The gameplay isn’t broken to the point where it isn’t entertaining, but you’ll learn to know when things are going to get wonky in Golden Axe: Beast Rider; it’s just enough to dishearten, and cause the user to ponder what this one could have been had a finer sharpening stone be used in the honing process.<br /><a href="http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/screen/79508/Golden-Axe-Beast-Rider/"></a><br />From a visual standpoint, Golden Axe: Beast Rider has some merit, but it’s overshadowed by far too much pop-in and framerate stutter. Character models, environments and mountable beasts all come across as statically polished, but once everything is in motion, Golden Axe: Beast Rider’s engine doesn’t seem to be up to the task of handling all that activity. Parts of levels load out of thin air, and almost every time the disc is accessed for data, the game abruptly pauses for a second or two. Paring back the amount of animated bits (swaying foliage and myriad particle effects add to the drag) would have surely helped, but at the cost of Golden Axe: Beast Rider’s robust, aesthetic value. The audio fares better than the visuals in helping Golden Axe: Beast Rider get its point across, however. Solid voice acting and sound effects, not to mention an above average soundtrack, up the ante of SEGA’s hack-n-slash affair. Although Golden Axe: Beast Rider honors its roots and does a nice job of storytelling, it fails to deliver on the all-important technical side of things. </div><br /><br /><br /><div>There’s some fun to be had here due to the might of Golden Axe: Beast Rider’s magic and the gruesome dismemberment that occurs in every battle, but the overall feeling is that there’s not enough sound substance here to justify its asking price. Pick Golden Axe: Beast Rider up if you’ve beat Ninja Gaiden 2 and need a fix of button mashing and blood. The rest of you would be better off giving Golden Axe: Beast Rider a rent first before committing to the buy. Or perhaps just save that loot and buy an original Golden Axe cabinet to relive the franchise’s 16-bit glory.</div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div><br /><br /><a title="Play-Asia.com - Your One-Stop-Shop for Asian Entertainment" href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-bp-77-4-49-en-15-Golden+Axe-84-j-70-2x8x.html"><br />Grab The Golden Axe Beast Rider here<br /></a><br /><br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=earssit-20&o=1&p=48&l=st1&mode=videogames&search=Golden%20Axe&fc1=000000<1=&lc1=3366FF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" width="728" height="90" border="0" frameborder="0" style="border:none;" scrolling="no"></iframe>Star Platinumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04229937491630733099noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655241793509427674.post-1744890379930104302008-09-20T04:22:00.000-07:002008-09-20T04:39:45.063-07:00Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTBFxMKRZ0rCk9_Xhg_MTkW42xBhAWRzummzIr4P7ZuY22lw-qs6Sgf_SDkoK9YlB5g50aNLWL2T7FU5NxfmQBdsO3twSoU35jpFmwBycmypkSU5YYA-FEHcVwiiQ7TjBkkiNp7oAbobSP/s1600-h/civ941683_92092_front.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248064892404282834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTBFxMKRZ0rCk9_Xhg_MTkW42xBhAWRzummzIr4P7ZuY22lw-qs6Sgf_SDkoK9YlB5g50aNLWL2T7FU5NxfmQBdsO3twSoU35jpFmwBycmypkSU5YYA-FEHcVwiiQ7TjBkkiNp7oAbobSP/s320/civ941683_92092_front.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>Civilization Revolution is an excellent, streamlined console version of the popular PC strategy series.<br /></div><br /><div><strong>The Good<br /></strong>Engrossing strategic depth<br />Many ways to claim victory<br />Fantastic visual presentation<br />Wealth of interesting historical knowledge<br />Meets high standard of the Civilization series. </div><br /><div><br /><strong>The Bad</strong><br />Multiplayer moves at a slow pace<br />Diplomacy is a bit limited. </div><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248064892039824386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFUhEDwjW02o8qzuJnLBxIEZsvgxXyE7BGxSvqJFNRN6mAn-wk1u8kv49xaNJEWAvktqucq0uLfOmEDJLLacsE_LfJIaxHh5shD2cSFzAVIH4lVfUte4qSAeC_VDizuILVyicWSDWEvxDj/s320/civ01.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><br />Ever since its inception in the early 1990s, Sid Meier's critically acclaimed Civilization series has challenged players to "build an empire to stand the test of time." Civilization Revolution is the newest scion of the series, and like its predecessors, it's a turn-based strategy game in which you take charge of a notable historical civilization and lead them from humble beginnings to world domination. Faced with the great challenge of preserving the strategic breadth of the series while streamlining the experience for consoles, developer Firaxis games has succeeded admirably. The result is a distilled version of Civilization that will please series veterans and newcomers alike.<br /><a class="{'caption':'%0D%0AAs+your+city+grows%2C+you%27ll+see+new+buildings+and+more+advanced+architecture.','path':'2008\/184\/941683_20080703_embed015.jpg','img':'15','pid':941683,'sid':6194997}" href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/strategy/sidmeierscivilizationrevolution/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;read-review#" rel="popup:imageviewer nofollow"></a><br /><br />Before the game begins, you must make an important choice: Which of the 16 civilizations will you command? Each has a starting bonus and four era bonuses that you'll gain as you progress through the ages, bonuses that will aid you in some way on your path to victory. There are four types of victory in Civilization Revolution: cultural, economic, technology, and domination. Each has particular victory conditions, and civilization-specific bonuses are a good way to start down the road toward meeting those conditions. Those seeking a cultural victory will appreciate that the Egyptians start with an ancient wonder, whereas military-minded players might choose the Germans and their veteran warriors. Trying the different civilizations on for size is great fun, as you adapt your unique strengths to grow your empire and deal with your opponents.<br />Once you've chosen your civilization, the game begins in earnest. As you set down your first city, you'll see icons on the surrounding squares indicating how much food, production, or trade each produces. Food grows your population, production builds units and buildings, and trade furthers scientific research or fills your coffers with gold. Being aware of these resources is the key to your civilization's prosperity. As your city grows larger and encompasses more squares, you'll have the option of telling your workers to prioritize one resource over the others, or to work certain squares instead of others. Unlike in previous Civilization games, individual squares cannot be improved, and workers now exist only within the confines of the city menu screen. Despite the worker's reduced role, the bulk of its strategic relevance has been preserved. Now certain buildings and technologies will increase your resource yield, so the challenge lies in choosing what to research and what to build to optimize your city's production. This interweaving of strategic considerations is engrossing and spurs you to constantly refine the myriad facets of your grand plan. </div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248064895135762306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIAM3oFckYhW9BbpijZPn-G6XkXBO4UGBdTh753RsAfkiXxdkQchzbpNe5dchPoZOAJvpJ6cDvMtT9OiaJkMMtst-GG3HIf9g00nqoi3s4G4PBUKnF4dHTWjQk6DkEo1yAB7LMGKhOYksQ/s320/civ02.jpg" border="0" /><br />With your first city up and running, you begin to go about the business of expanding your realm. You build warriors to defend your city and explore the surrounding area. Barbarians will threaten you early on, and destroying them will grant you gold, or perhaps a bonus unit. There are also friendly villages that will offer similar bonuses, and sometimes even grant you a new technology. Discovering impressive natural wonders, such as a great forest or a vast desert, will also garner you a gold bonus and the gratifying right to stamp a name on it that will last throughout history. There are also a few ancient artifacts, such as the Lost City of Atlantis, that grant substantial boons to the civilization that discovers them. Although it's already a thrill to explore uncharted lands, these bonus incentives add more urgency to your wanderings and encourage you to keep up a brisk pace. </div><br /><div><br />As you explore, create units, and settle new cities, you'll soon discover that you're not alone. Leaders of other civilizations will contact you with offers of peace, but don't expect these truces to last. Depending on your difficulty level, you may have a few leaders asking to trade techs, or they all may try to bully you out of hearth and home. You can do some bullying of your own from the diplomacy panel, as well as make peace, trade techs, or even pay a leader to wage war on another civilization. However, long-term trade agreements are gone, and previously marketable resources like wine, iron, and silk now merely provide resource bonuses to nearby cities. Degrees of peace, like non-agression pacts and open borders, are also gone, the latter of which is particularly missed during online games, when passing through an ally's territory will cause a declaration of war. The controls for navigating diplomacy are easy, but it does feel a bit limited.<br /><a class="{'caption':'%0D%0ATensions+begin+to+run+high+as+civilizations+compete+for+territory.','path':'2008\/184\/941683_20080703_embed010.jpg','img':'10','pid':941683,'sid':6194997}" href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/strategy/sidmeierscivilizationrevolution/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;read-review#" rel="popup:imageviewer nofollow"></a><br /><br />If you refuse another civilization's demands for tribute, or want to pursue a domination victory, you'll declare war on your enemies and march your legions off to battle. Every combat unit has a separate attack and defense rating, and it's important to play to their strengths. For example, in the early going, archers are twice as powerful on defense than offense, so leaving them to defend your cities while your more powerful attackers advance to the front may be a good move. Positioning yourself advantageously is rewarding, not only because of terrain bonuses, but also because of the satisfaction you get from winning a carefully executed encounter. Cutting through your opponent's forces and taking their cities is immensely gratifying, though large invasion forces can get cumbersome since you can no longer combine diverse units into a manageable stack. </div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248064897639227410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXcuZVgfCR4hvkWuEs4P0CA_R4FPvnqjHh1XfX7bRkSK1x0boM2xxuGvZO12iAeXYEEJqANQlQGpNpz6rlsWc4rD3hpVSohvQeNbsYcB68iDQSgL4elERsJ5RVZraIDtCKX9Z6lxIL3I16/s320/civ04.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>Actual combat is merely a matter of sending your unit onto an enemy unit's square and seeing how things play out. Victorious units will gain experience and can earn special abilities, such as improved city defense. Combat has been streamlined, too, and the number of units available throughout the ages has been pared down. Ships can no longer bombard land squares, but positioning them on the coast adjacent to your warring armies will give your land troops a boost in combat. Without square improvements to destroy, siege warfare is limited to parking your forces on squares to prevent a city from working them. Furthermore, even the smallest ship can transport a huge number of units, so sending armies by sea is feasible in any age. Thankfully, these changes don't feel like omissions because the strategies that the lost elements supported are still present and can make or break your martial campaigns.<br /><a class="{'caption':'%0D%0APotent+combat+bonuses+can+turn+apparent+mismatches+battles+into+fair+fights.','path':'2008\/184\/941683_20080703_embed009.jpg','img':'9','pid':941683,'sid':6194997}" href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/strategy/sidmeierscivilizationrevolution/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary%3Bread-review&page=2#" rel="popup:imageviewer nofollow"></a><br />There's a lot of information to take into account when playing Civilization Revolution, and fortunately there are a number of built-in tools to help you. You have a cadre of advisors who pop up to consult you in the city and tech screens, and they, like the leaders of other civilizations, are large, animated characters who react to your decisions and push each other out of the way amusingly as you switch your focus. They do make some repetitive noises and their gibberish speak can get annoying, but they are quite helpful in the early going and once you're in the rhythm of the game, you'll likely tune them out. Other audio effects and background music are more appropriate, and the dramatic flourishes of victory or wonder creation are quite invigorating. </div><br /><div><br />One of the highlights of the game is the robust civilopedia, which is accessible from almost any screen with the press of a button. All of the pertinent game information is here, as well as a wealth of multimedia knowledge for those curious to know the biographies of the great people who appear in their cities, or to see a video clip of a galley at sea. It's a fantastic addition that you'll find yourself consulting often as you refine your game strategy. Though it does take a few seconds to load, it's well worth it to make sure that you choose the right wonder to build or tech to research. </div><br /><div><br />Tying it all together is the vivid, clean presentation and simple control scheme. You can scroll around the map with either analog stick, though the right one is required to issue movement commands. Cycling through units with the directional pad is a breeze. The left shoulder button zooms out, though not as far as you might like, and the right shoulder button gives you a quick look at your tech, culture, and treasury growth. City and diplomacy menus are a mere click away. This accessibility is complemented by the vibrant unit designs and animations, as well as the eye-catching city representations. The ocean looks lovely as waves lap at the shore and fish frolic in the clear water, and mountains, forests, and rivers are equally beautiful. Scroll around a busy map and you'll experience some choppiness, but not so much that it's detrimental to the gameplay. </div><br /><div><br />Single-player games are rich and varied, but you can mix things up further by playing the included scenarios or taking on the Game of the Week and seeing how you rank against other Civ players. You can also test your skills head-to-head online. Each match has five civilizations but a max of four human players. You can face off one-on-one, join up with a teammate against human or AI players, or cut loose in a free-for-all. A headset lets you conspire with your fellow players, but be careful to use the private chat feature lest you alert your enemies to your plan. Be sure to block out a few hours for these matches, which can sometimes last quite a while. You can limit the turn time to speed things up, but with four human players and one AI civilization, there's a lot to do. Online matches do have a strange pace to them that's not quite a sequential flow, and they move more slowly than solo games. Nevertheless, if you've got the patience, there's nothing quite like matching wits with another human player.<br /><a class="{'caption':'%0D%0ALopsided%2C+anachronistic+battles+will+frequently+happen+in+the+modern+era.','path':'2008\/184\/941683_20080703_embed014.jpg','img':'14','pid':941683,'sid':6194997}" href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/strategy/sidmeierscivilizationrevolution/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary%3Bread-review&page=2#" rel="popup:imageviewer nofollow"></a><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248064900335788194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_whrOx2g-wN9FnI8nKJpUfF-9axRxKuRaFZQXaCIi6e1JKzkCFpwWJeUwcyNxCXPeN4enLIW_SQfTVgxfCzqF7EKyOOsNUTaD5LqdBgWObHlYJpw2cVk3X1FOpitoQZ25DrhbciRAqma/s320/civ05.jpg" border="0" /><br />Played against human or AI opponents, Civilization Revolution is an excellent game that will let you plumb different strategic depths each time you play. It's incredibly easy to get engrossed in the rhythm of expansion and evolution, and you can happily lose hours and hours at a time. Sid Meier and Firaxis Games have done a fantastic job of streamlining many of the key game mechanics, and they've cut out some of the micromanagement without gutting the strategic options. If you enjoyed Civilization on the PC and are worried that this version might feel stripped down, fear not. Although it does seem simpler at first, you'll soon realize that it's the same signature gameplay you know and love. If you haven't played a Civilization game before, you should get your hands on this worthy new entry in the Civilization canon. </div><div></div><div></div><br /><br /><p align="center"><iframe style="WIDTH: 120px; HEIGHT: 240px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=earssit-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B000WMEEBC&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p><br /><br /><p align="center"><iframe style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" border="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=earssit-20&o=1&p=48&l=st1&mode=videogames&search=Sid%20meier%27s%20Civilization%20&fc1=000000&lt1=&lc1=3366FF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" frameborder="0" width="728" scrolling="no" height="90"></iframe></p>Star Platinumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04229937491630733099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655241793509427674.post-12403205308484666182008-09-19T21:51:00.000-07:002008-09-19T22:37:36.031-07:00Madden NFL 09<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ-1ZeaO1thrN3Y1dQXATZx14eJRvtsjgspltYm8NaK3xS0EvfShaWXfeZxz340tazDBhaDAzwaLMV8BFYY5Ylar4EHexGQBkarmQbig7xIKUQT7e1Di7OdbJ8VfC994WYNC3vmBvDoGH3/s1600-h/nfl01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247972416810708658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ-1ZeaO1thrN3Y1dQXATZx14eJRvtsjgspltYm8NaK3xS0EvfShaWXfeZxz340tazDBhaDAzwaLMV8BFYY5Ylar4EHexGQBkarmQbig7xIKUQT7e1Di7OdbJ8VfC994WYNC3vmBvDoGH3/s320/nfl01.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><strong></strong></div><br /><div><strong>The Good<br /></strong>Cris Collinsworth's commentary is superb<br />Backtrack feature breaks down exactly why a play failed and rewinding lets you try again<br />Formation audibles allow you to change plays without tipping your hand<br />Vastly improved visuals<br />Tight controls and varied player animations. </div><div><br /><strong>The Bad</strong><br />Quirks and glitches hamper otherwise solid gameplay<br />Superstar and Franchise modes have received almost no attention<br />Madden IQ feature isn't as helpful as it claims to be<br />Tom Hammond and John Madden's voice work is poor<br />Online leagues are a huge letdown. </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247972418177418274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtNfCnxjq7cXoZIEvOAFqYfjGvgADSN6tY9doUEij6l3c6ZzEM2LLD1gFcZus3DXe6jZsCVyq6NDZGFe3QvCw7gufwgWs2a_ecBKEeLFOXiq4zDR83q_OtWCVLpeyYlzUroRTv-fW09szt/s320/nfl02.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><br />When John Madden Football was released in 1988, no one had any idea that it was the beginning of one of the best-selling series of all time. But after 20 years, tens of millions of copies sold, countless tournaments, and even a TV show, Madden is a global phenomenon. When you purchase a Madden game, you know you're going to be the beneficiary of 20 years of experience. Fine-tuned gameplay, top-notch player animation, extraordinarily detailed playbooks, and competitive multiplayer are all series staples. This year's Madden is just what you'd expect: It doesn't take a whole lot of chances with the formula that has proven so successful in the past. Improvements such as the additions of Cris Collinsworth as a commentator and a backtrack feature that points out and helps correct your mistakes make for a great football experience. However, there are quite a few issues that keep Madden 09 from reaching its full potential, such as disappointing online leagues and mostly unchanged Franchise and Superstar modes.<br /><a class="{'caption':'Help+me+Obi-Wan+Kenobi%2C+you%27re+my+only+hope.','path':'2008\/220\/reviews\/945505_20080808_embed001.jpg','img':'1','pid':945505,'sid':6195642}" href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/maddennfl09/review.html#" rel="popup:imageviewer nofollow"></a><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247972421091959602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6kA2qlV39CSBBsoqGj5Pt-XIlSOs2uYrZY95RwFePb0z1XiQ36QW5-c1ydICrhj-irYIj8cXHYKfnSuT5v8-837KaZWR2vhypTihcOEjM0vj1bf1CPBRl4RViRM2tTrsf84lmlQo7mjV/s320/nfl03.jpg" border="0" /><br />Madden 09 has a number of features designed to address the steep learning curve associated with the series. This year’s game is clearly one of the most user-friendly versions in recent years, but unfortunately, beginners will still probably have a tough time learning the ropes, in spite of these new features. If you throw an interception or take a bad sack, Cris Collinsworth will break down the play for you and explain not only what you did wrong, but what you should have done instead. Collinsworth's analysis during these backtrack segments is startlingly accurate and useful--it's just a shame these moments occur at random. It would have been nice to call them up at any time. Another useful yet controversial addition is the ability to rewind plays and try them again. This is a great way to help you learn from your mistakes and it's nice to have a do-over if you get cheesed by the CPU, but it takes self-control not to rewind anytime you make a bad play. Rewinding a buddy's touchdown is also a surefire way to prematurely end your friendship.<br />When you first boot the game, a virtual Madden that looks just like R2-D2's projection of Princess Leia in Star Wars appears onscreen to administer a Madden IQ test. This test takes place in a VR simulator and consists of running, passing, tackling, and pass-coverage drills. The game will adjust its difficulty based on the results of this test. This process is a good idea in theory, but it doesn't work. The offensive drills are so easy that it's possible for first-timers to score well enough that the test results indicate they should play a mixture of all-pro and all-Madden difficulties. The defensive drills are a little more accurate, but this only serves to highlight how difficult it is to play defense in the game. Your IQ will fluctuate based on your performance during games, but it takes so long to balance out your IQ that you're better off manually setting the difficulty to rookie and using the simplified playbooks if you're a beginner. The simple playbooks combined with Collinsworth's backtrack analysis are a step in the right direction when it comes to making Madden more accessible to casual players, but more work needs to be done before these newcomers truly feel welcome. A manual or in-game documentation that explains all of the game's features would be great, as would some sort of in-game glossary. How many people who don't watch football every week know what a "cover 2" is anyway?<br />There are a number of gameplay enhancements that make Madden 09 play better than 08. The ability to bluff plays from the line of scrimmage lets you view your play and then display fake routes to mislead your opponent. You can also quickly call audibles without changing your formation and inadvertently tipping off the other player. Another excellent addition is that you can now tell individual receivers to run smart routes on third down. This will ensure that they don't stop their routes short of the first-down marker. It would be nice if receivers were smart enough to adjust on their own, but at least the smart-route option is available. On the defensive side of the ball, you can spotlight a receiver. This puts an extra player on a receiver to ensure double coverage on the play. By no means does it render that receiver a nonfactor, but it's now a great way of slowing down an opponent who passes to the same guy over and over again. The only problem with the number of pre-snap adjustments is that it's near impossible to perform many of them when you're on defense due to the short amount of time between when you come out of the play-calling screen and when the ball is snapped. Sure, there are Madden savants out there who can call an audible, shift the line, highlight a receiver, tell the left outside linebacker to spy on the QB, and fake a blitz in five seconds, but most people can't.<br />Just as there are plenty of good things to talk about with regard to 09's gameplay, there are some problems worth mentioning. Slants and crossing routes are exceedingly difficult to defend against. The linebackers who could snag almost any ball out of thin air last year were annoying, but so is watching a lousy QB and below-average tight end pick you apart like they're Peyton Manning and Dallas Clark. It's not all fun and games for QBs and receivers though. Quarterbacks will frequently overthrow passes in the flat so that they lead receivers right out of bounds or receivers will get stuck in an animation and, head to the sidelines, lose yards, or run right into a tackler. This is a huge problem in Superstar mode when running screen plays. The more you play the more you'll notice the sometimes questionable AI. CPU-controlled teams might not opt for an onsides kick when they're down by a few points with no time-outs and less than two minutes on the clock. Officiating is also hit or miss. Referees typically ignore holding and are often inaccurate when spotting the ball, and booth reviews are a total crapshoot--you never know what the ruling is going to be. Other nagging issues include sometimes horrific tackling, occasionally inept blocking, unstoppable quarterback sneaks, and play-action's utter lack of effectiveness against the CPU.<br /><a class="{'caption':'Yep%2C+you+made+a+mistake.+Now+let+Cris+Collinsworth+tell+you+what+you+did+wrong.','path':'2008\/220\/reviews\/945505_20080808_embed002.jpg','img':'2','pid':945505,'sid':6195642}" href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/maddennfl09/review.html#" rel="popup:imageviewer nofollow"></a><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247972423312025778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkO3-M4GtrOqHuVBqx1L_rpL215qYDaHGroOXseDZ3JnDrLrfR2_5Wd-iHAKrk46ULmsA8XTPyh1kQR52dj6vj3OBgMmDjQGWLHi2DC6fXprfrw3x4yrn2s1Xm-iX8xkZPwbD2tzA2M3t7/s320/nfl04.jpg" border="0" /><br />Series fans have been clamoring for online leagues for years, and this is the first year the mode has been included. Well, sort of. Yes, you and up to 31 other players can form a league and play against one other whenever you like, regardless of how many games other participants have played. In that sense there are online leagues; it's just that they aren't any good. You can't fill out the league with CPU-controlled teams, so if you've got only three friends to play with, you're left with a four-person league. There is a draft, but it's an autodraft that selects players based on your predraft rankings. Again, having just a handful of players hampers the experience because everyone in the league will get awesome players. There aren't a whole lot of weaknesses a defense can focus on when the opposition's fifth-best receiver is Pro-Bowler Anquan Boldin. The default settings don't even allow for player statistics to be tracked (stat-tracking is curiously tied to the unexplained "unique rosters" setting). When you consider how full-featured Electronic Arts' own NCAA Football 09's online dynasty is (although it has its own problems), it's puzzling that Madden's online leagues are so lacking. At least online gameplay generally performs well. We had some frustrating problems with the kick meter not recognizing our input, but for the most part, the action was extremely smooth and lag was never an issue.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Longtime fans of the series will recognize the "all new" Madden Challenge feature. These challenges, which have appeared in some form or another in some earlier Madden games, let you try your hand at reliving some of the more dramatic moments of the 2007 NFL season. This is a good way of quickly placing yourself in a variety of different high-pressure situations, but the sometimes punishingly difficult/cheap AI, combined with the repetitive nature of many of the challenges, ensure that the fun is short-lived.. One final new mode lets you use your console to track fantasy football teams created (for free) on the EA Sports Web site. At the time of this review the NFL season hadn't yet started, so we were unable to see the stat-tracking mode in action. It's not going to make up for the game's lousy online leagues, but its inclusion will likely please those looking to manage their Madden and fantasy football addictions at the same time.<br /><a class="{'caption':'There+are+a+staggering+amount+of+pre-snap+adjustments+you+can+make+this+year.','path':'2008\/220\/reviews\/945505_20080808_embed003.jpg','img':'3','pid':945505,'sid':6195642}" href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/maddennfl09/review.html?page=2#" rel="popup:imageviewer nofollow"></a><br /><br />The rest of the game modes are holdovers from last year. Franchise mode is solid. The simulated statistics seem to be fairly accurate, and it's certainly fun to take the reins of a franchise, but the mode has received only cursory attention since last year, and you can still sign overpriced free agents and package them into deals for draft picks and star players. That's more than can be said for Superstar mode, which is virtually indistinguishable from its 08 incarnation. If you've never tried to take a created player or rookie from his first training camp to the Hall of Fame, there's some fun to be had here, but if you've previously put up with the lame training events, obnoxious agents, and inane e-mails from your in-game mom, there's nothing here that warrants another look.<br />Madden 09 is easily the best-looking Madden to date. The presentation now features more dynamic camera angles, and player emotion is a bigger part of the game than ever thanks to new touchdown celebrations. By running to a highlighted area of the end zone and pressing a button after a score you can dunk the ball over the goalpost, climb up the wall to bask in the admiration of the fans, and more. The dunks often don't work and they look kind of terrible, but the rest of the celebrations are cool--especially when you steal another player's move. You can do Chad Johnson's River Dance or Steve McNair's hands-to-the-helmet pose, or you can taunt Denver fans with the Mile High salute. Other player animations are top-notch, and if you play enough you'll notice some great little touches, such as kickers tackling just as awkwardly as they do in real life. You'll see some odd transitions and quirky moves upon close inspection of replays (which can be uploaded and shared online), but you'd be hard pressed to notice most of these instances during gameplay.<br />Stadiums aren't blurry anymore, and they feature more detail than ever--they look great. Snow and rain effects have been cranked up to where it feels as if you're playing in a blizzard or monsoon. By the end of a game in the rain, players' uniforms will be absolutely filthy. You'd have been grounded for a week if you had come home that dirty when you were a kid. The only knock against the weather is that field conditions don't seem to degrade as the game progresses. It's odd to have players caked in mud when the grass looks like the fairways at Augusta. You may notice some stuttering before and after plays, but when the ball's in play, the frame rate is as fast and smooth as you could hope for.<br />Cris Collinsworth is easily the highlight of Madden 09's audio. His commentary is timely, accurate, and insightful, and it sounds perfectly natural. Imagine having one of the best commentators in the league standing next to you talking about your grudge match against your little brother like it's a real-life showdown in the playoffs--that's how good Cris is here. On the other side of the coin is play-by-play announcer Tom Hammond's performance. It's bad enough that he'll remind you that the game is "brought to you by EA Sports" several times per game, but his choppy, vague, and monotone play calling will almost make you miss the radio-style announcer from previous years. Almost. John Madden might be one of the greatest announcers of all time, but you'd never know it by listening to the game that bears his name. His vaunted "return" to the franchise is limited to brief pregame introductions as well as one or two sentences at halftime and the end of the game. He barely even talks during "ask Madden" plays; occasionally he'll explain why he's suggesting a play, but a vast majority of the time he doesn't say a thing.<br /><a class="{'caption':'Simply+put%3A+Football+has+never+looked+so+good.','path':'2008\/220\/reviews\/945505_20080808_embed004.jpg','img':'4','pid':945505,'sid':6195642}" href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/sports/maddennfl09/review.html?page=2#" rel="popup:imageviewer nofollow"></a><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247972427798034866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7M6gP5TRqM-DCjl9bBGt8ENNQOK3yRLpw86n70nguQ8wKg7Nj-mVJEBs_IkWm8cXjFv06bI8gtKiSRIX9qCaWhj9ywfNVbZm1HbFgdxIwGBZwA8JHp95j8R5zibcUIJEt97M4UcKny_ni/s320/nfl05.jpg" border="0" /><br />The Madden series has been so good for so long that the bar for each yearly release is extremely high. And it's because standards are so high that, while it's still great, Madden 09 could have been better. For every addition, like the backtrack feature, Collinsworth, or improved visuals, there's a problem that rears its ugly head, like the unchanged Superstar mode, poor pass coverage in the middle of the field, or underwhelming online leagues.

The unique “sight jack” system allows the player to see from the point of view of the Shibito, or living dead, to avoid their detection or watch as they close in on the player and companions. Intense graphics, realistic character animation, and a gritty film-like graphical presentation add to the horror of Siren: Blood Curse.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241795521185050866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKCkJaFcfEL-uf5vXB_hSYYL7dIGG6oHkz6-7qHZUCLztcGsmCfWOK7kDoHJlUOp2Ys8m0ciLnEBhRS8NwVzCXeRGpkf8iFbjRbWUMLpsRnUrHPLoDVLub8QpUhO69QjGQ9gKu2VcLhpEd/s320/siren03.jpg" border="0" /><br /><strong>Reviews:</strong><br /><br /><strong></strong><br /><br /><strong>by syaoran-tc1 </strong><br /><br />Bleeding Amazing The best survival horror game i have ever played.

Both are easily the most recognizable sporting events on the planet today, and it seems every four years that with these tournaments comes the video game iteration. It's interesting to see the Olympic video games because generally we only see one or, <a href="http://gaming.tweaktown.com/popImg.php?img=beijing08_ps3_1_full.jpg" target="_blank"></a>at the most, two each console generation. It is also the only time that you will see sports such as judo and swimming in a video game (that or the Olympic imitators we tend to see as well). </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235513362037995554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaq0dSf5SV_KV9R9pjykWIhdSlzA7Q0oxgP1P7Wv4UxS9ckk0wiJBcm8zsB65g387Ya-lrIfidJEmfVypTWLJwlCguB5YrggnEB81x6H41r5r6a4NiPu5JvXZJEe1eUWkdpXOB2tq0v2R8/s320/beijing-2008-the-official-video-game-of-the-olympic-games-200801.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br /><div>SEGA has taken over the mantle from Sony but has kept the employment of Eurocom; the developers responsible for Athens 2004. This time around they have really put in a huge effort to bring together a quality game and of course it is the first game to utilise the next generation systems, so it was always going to be a test. SEGA wanted the gold but they will have to settle for silver, because of a near game breaking flaw. As you would expect with the Olympics, a wide variety of sports are represented in the game ranging from Judo to cycling to athletics. </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235513357327935746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwJFEu2oXZG6odhbpAytfj_xxBnBFQ-tThswBso1MmkPjTDqSn-0iUFRujKvedqWDE5ZZRC0f5PZU_GQwL4jzLbMtOIfqL47eaxfNMnQ6RoEGYwAcxL8S5hkBhi9e-7afqyAm9diK2ryKZ/s320/beijing-2008-20080627044724720_640w.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>You will see a lot of interesting sports here that you generally won't see anywhere else in the video gaming world. This is the strength of the game by far. Eurocom have also tried to implement some game modes to lengthen the experience and actually put a game into the product. The various game modes include online, single events, practice etc but it is the Olympic Games which is clearly where you will spend most of your time. The other modes really are a small extension of this where you can play a custom Olympics, practice one event over and over and, of course, go online. In the Olympic Games mode, each day you are given a number of tasks to complete. Should you not complete a number of these tasks it will be game over. Most of the tasks revolve around qualifying for Olympic finals which is not as easy as it may seem due to the iffy control system, not to mention as the Olympics continue the game becomes more difficult. You can also choose to customise your team but there is really no point to this because official athletes have not been licensed. This is a refreshing touch to this year’s Olympic game and it is clear that SEGA and Eurocom were trying something different. <a href="http://gaming.tweaktown.com/popImg.php?img=beijing08_ps3_2_full.jpg" target="_blank"></a></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235513355459603282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH3qIQ_nPZcCGbwYuVVWMsrwTAhEvW2OT98kUnWeW0TrtFmOn6tLCSfjQp0dvDo-MealmyMgEfkYGHZMoeLYJeO_NEZdJHwPENjvGhEeOtppuTco02l3Cj-DjRHRuRMyZn7Wq44hW00YCk/s320/beijing-2008-01.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>The game itself is not bad as a whole but there is one thing that will frustrate gamers to no end and that is the control system. Many of the events revolve around button mashing as you would expect however Eurocom have also given the gamer the chance to waggle the analog sticks instead of button mash. It's just a shame that they made the AI so difficult to beat. There are a few contributors that factor into this. Firstly, in some events you have to time your start against the gun. If you false start it’s game over so the risk reward factor is high. They have combated this somewhat in the Olympic mode because you can slow down time, but overall it’s not a good implementation. Second of all after about thirty minutes of button mashing you will be tired, and if you are waggling you will have almost broken your wrist. The difficulty of this game is ridiculous, especially in a day of casual gaming. I respect Eurocom’s decision to make the game hard, but varying difficulty levels would have been a better option. Once you get past the controls, you will find a number of solid games to play. In some aspects the controls make a lot of sense. For instance with Javelin, where you waggle to build up speed, move the stick left to get into position and then angle the stick to determine the throw. It goes through the same motions that an athlete does in that event. Other events like the 1500m have you manage your health and heart rate to try and win the race. Go out hard and lead early, but by the end you will be puffed out, so again a risk reward situation. There are over thirty events to compete in total but that is a bit of a misdemeanour with a lot of events being of the same type, such as the six swimming events with minimal changes between the lot. </div><br /><br /><div>Another interesting inclusion is that you can play as either female or male in some events with the game not forcing you down one path. There is also a lot of focus on the presentation of the game. Before each event you will have to skip two or three 'cut scenes' to actually get to the action. First time through it looks truly amazing, just like a TV<br />broadcast, but as you play more it just becomes a frustration. The same occurs after events with athletes crying to their national anthem and the medal winners cheering. </div><br /><br /><div>Each event takes place in the actual Beijing venue as you would expect and generally countries which dominate events are good at them in the game, i.e. Australia are seen as good swimmers. Graphically however the game could have possibly done more. As expected it is a huge improvement over Athens on PS2 but it just doesn't go far enough. Solid framerate and graphics are present but the emotion of the Games are not really captured by the athletes except for the cheesy teara during the medal ceremonies. Beijing 2008 does a lot right but it could have been better. The developers have tried really hard to capture the Olympic experience and they have succeeded in many aspects. </div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235513672144039522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCkzRHjZzq-6c15nSkAU-I-psTOYEheM0IK8Z0dVuFblpN36L9TSYlMeK_O3l2hfLdCyshN8Ib7RfBDrQ_T7ZvGcHpYOdh18JH03GRkw2MYdk9NfUEBM9a5TAWdvSqJsgmN3tG5aq06i9g/s320/beijing-2008-02.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>The control system is abysmal but if they patch it on PSN or Xbox Live we could see a classic in the making for sports fans. Anyone who picks this up going in knowing the controls are not good and want a party game will find a lot of fun. However the single player is an experience in frustration and really, if you don't have friends to play with, then leave this game on the shelves for the moment.</div><div></div><div>Overall 7.7/10</div><br /><a title="Play-Asia.com - Beijing 2008" href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-bp-77-4-49-en-15-Beijing+2008-84-j-70-2qy8.html"><br />Play-Asia.com - Beijing 2008<br /></a><br /><br /><iframe style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" border="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=earssit-20&o=1&p=48&l=st1&mode=videogames&search=Olympic&fc1=000000&lt1=&lc1=3366FF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" frameborder="0" width="728" scrolling="no" height="90"></iframe><br /><br /><iframe style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" border="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=earssit-20&o=1&p=48&l=st1&mode=dvd&search=Beijing%202008&fc1=000000&lt1=&lc1=3366FF&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" frameborder="0" width="728" scrolling="no" height="90"></iframe>Star Platinumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04229937491630733099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655241793509427674.post-58975475665448860212008-07-18T19:27:00.000-07:002008-07-18T19:33:31.670-07:00Soul Calibur IV The Lord Vader Rules !!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyA91oTUAoJ0sU5AmUHPekCBuP4wl8Iy2sipAboxR-q3PaRJNr6QBdIg_QrYLt3aWFzlAnF9t6Cz488wwhF673u2G_W12uaNeHCvQB7jha8v9IqeKYlyHeAZNpPsYwjwRGMWg4n1xg4-6d/s1600-h/soul4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224546967726092946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyA91oTUAoJ0sU5AmUHPekCBuP4wl8Iy2sipAboxR-q3PaRJNr6QBdIg_QrYLt3aWFzlAnF9t6Cz488wwhF673u2G_W12uaNeHCvQB7jha8v9IqeKYlyHeAZNpPsYwjwRGMWg4n1xg4-6d/s200/soul4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><em><strong>The Classic Fighter Returns</strong><br /></em>Return to witness the epic struggle between the spirit sword, Soul Calibur, and the cursed sword, Soul Edge, in Soul Calibur IV.

With its signature realism and unrivaled physics, this highly anticipated precursor to Gran Turismo 5 continues to blur the line between simulation and reality.<br />"Prologue" is defined as an introductory or preceding event or development, and true to every letter, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue treats both long-time fans of the Gran Turismo franchise as well as those coming to it new, with a generous sampling of what they can expect to see in Gran Turismo 5 later in the year and further releases on the PS3.<br />The new direction of Grand Turismo<br /><a href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/gt5p.01.lg.jpg"></a><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224544595619678994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilVaBedXIbKa1YOrTHFzYuCQ7OcfLzgY3RnChu6nZn1klvBv_znxyKwW3uHYULpm4txFzbsjvnOFzzPIdHEITypFKchxY_fKqOlxk-RwGPLBoICufMuBYUB8L9Qg0V3eY9c8WP6DM5O_CN/s200/gt5p.01.lg" border="0" /><br />Developed By the BestPolyphony Digital is the developer of the Gran Turismo franchise, led by creator Kazunori Yamauchi. Polyphony Digital is known for pushing the limits of the PlayStation hardware, and with its realistic graphics and physics, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue is no different. In addition to receiving CAD data from the auto manufacturers, they have taken thousands of photos to model each car (and track). As an example of the level of detail, a car in Gran Turismo 4 has the same number of polygons as a headlight in Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.Polyphony works even closer with the automotive industry to make sure that the cars look and drive just as they do in real life. In fact, Kazunori Yamauchi designed the on-board computer for the real Nissan GT-R. If you’re lucky to buy one when it releases, you will notice the Polyphony Digital logo when you start your car. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224544596398886834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBTNZ5INJxdsiuoUrCGIBJn-5D5-rRrgydK5ONjGzum6hyhk6Pcaw_8atRdtpESeQgWo9BoNRXv4UxmGMEbm55mvMIgoMvWxH95Ekr6jAPOkNmxS4wF3Z2zI8TdX9p4zZsjdmRrjaTFnxh/s200/gt5p.02.lg" border="0" /><br />Take Your Cars and Tracks Online and OffGran Turismo 5: Prologue features over 60 stunning cars – including vehicles by Lotus, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Ferrari for you to race on seriously realistic, real-life tracks: including the Eiger Nordwand, the London City Track and Suzuka – all rendered in incredible High Definition graphics.

You are Darth Vader's Secret Apprentice! The Dark Lord of the Sith himself has trained you to use a lightsaber and unleash the power of the Force, but now your destiny is your own. Will you join Vader as the next great Sith, or will you choose to defend peace and justice as a noble Jedi Knight? </div><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223260769315296178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg15_EeICKfLQ3afex7awma2VCg-_Ao9CeetIat4V02bshK3RpdSKuV2OouAANSaFOWCUBfFJQquInoZUsTmTmxY1hsJAILX5NthVJeOApLLO1UxZMACpBiFDL1wlRAXNuylX2y1CBUGJ4w/s200/force01.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>If you need more proof that video games are reaching the same league as movies these days, just take a look at Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, the upcoming action game from LucasArts. The Force Unleashed will get almost the same full treatment as a movie, given that it will be supported by a wide variety of ancillary products, including a novel, action figures, a miniatures line, a comic book, and more. However, at the heart of all this is a game that will let you play as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, a budding and powerful young Sith tasked with hunting down the last of the Jedi knights. LucasArts finally unveiled the gameplay to us recently, and this is looking like one of the most exciting--and easily the most beautiful--Star Wars games ever.<br />The Force Unleashed will fill in a lost chapter in the Star Wars saga: basically, what happens between Episode III and Episode IV? This is a period when the Jedi were scattered and hunted down, the Galactic Empire consolidated its hold on the galaxy, and apparently Darth Vader was secretly grooming an apprentice to help him one day overthrow the Emperor. You'll play as that apprentice and go on missions for Lord Vader, but your existence must be kept a secret, so this will give you an opportunity to battle rebels, Jedis, and any unlucky Imperials who happen to get a glimpse of you. The developers consulted heavily with George Lucas on the story and characters, to the point that what happens in The Force Unleashed is now considered Star Wars canon. </div><br /><br /><div><br />If the goal of The Force Unleashed is to make you feel like an incredibly lethal killing machine, then it looks as if the designers have accomplished that. The first level shown to us has the apprentice running through a TIE Fighter assembly station, which a rogue Jedi has taken over. The apprentice let loose with a variety of powerful Force powers and lightsaber moves to dispatch the enemy. Force push doesn't just knock an enemy back; it can hurl a group of enemies through the air, as if they've been hit by an explosion. </div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223260771493254626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_hz_e2qKuNAs7dN-JqAPa_83TAHNZc-baKg5ipUVeNkkyVb3_oYB6ZW_WH_uaALf023l_qObsjEE8Fb6Z4XiZJqPonFBKDQpIuSuXz6fDZiVtapG9QnE7G85xFlTeaBiBxTcK3rGVkkb4/s200/force02.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><br />Then there's Force grip, which lets you grab someone or something and dangle it in the air. This is a great demonstration for the game's Euphoria technology, which is available only in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game. Euphoria basically gives all enemies self-preservation instincts, so they'll act and behave as if they want to stay alive. If you dangle someone in the air, they'll try to grab something--anything--for dear life. This isn't a scripted movement, but it's all completely procedural and dynamic. Moving on to more powers, there's good old Force lightning, but instead of simply being able to zap bad guys, you can also infuse your lightsaber with lightning to make it more powerful. Later on in the game, you can use lightning and Force grip to create living bombs. Just pick up an enemy using grip, charge him with lightning, and then hurl him at a target to create an explosion. </div><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223260776646071634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItKcAW7Arb8LIHTuatajWrJuWTw41US66kP5hWjObHdpFDO_dhf0-azrumOlc6lwfoIFAGjbfhwezKcTJXdYWRhSR6JcDrQatTWRSQR0qhUPdvG0EqO5lbMg5cSE7aJxkNe2IbWBOUJA_/s200/force03.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>One of the ideas in the game is to let you be as creative as possible when it comes to combat. You're not just slashing at enemies and toying with them using your Force powers. There's a fair amount of environmental interaction in the game. Most levels will have a mechanism of some sort that will provide you with a steady supply of objects that you can manipulate. For instance, in the TIE Fighter factory, fresh TIE Fighters come off of the assembly line. You can then use your Force powers to grab them and hurl them in someone's faces; or, even cooler, use grip to hurl someone into the path of an oncoming TIE Fighter. On a junkyard world, magnetic lanes keep a steady supply of junk flying overhead. On that same level, you might need to use lightning to power up engine turbines, which will then fly off and smash into objects. Execute a cool kill and the game will switch to a payoff camera that gives you a cinematic view of the action.</div><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223260780263064738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDXpX43vIgag5nMgaRgh9Agd7UT5Ux1iAzEv-D5OVCeXu0MbXIXSqYDx2issxVjF6kY2SOE_FKrjcqvQ7M1zZPI_sAMdOfXwtRtwiNO4EfXkWSQa8SErv2fXgAlqM9lcYvJdcVKiA5Jj6R/s200/force05.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div>The Force Unleashed will ship for the PS3 and Xbox 360, but other versions are also planned for the Wii, PSP, Nintendo DS, and PS2. Though the underlying stories will be the same across all platforms, there will be differences between most of them, as well as unique content designed for the platform. The PSP version will feature historical battles from the movies, whereas the Wii version will have some levels that aren't in the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions. In the Wii version, we saw a Jedi temple level, but more importantly, LucasArts demonstrated how the Wii Remote is used for lightsaber attacks while the Nunchuk is used for Force powers. The designers also showed off duel mode, which is a head-to-head battle where two players can pummel one another using Force powers. Duel mode will have nine arenas and plenty of unlockable characters, and the goal is to kill your opponent three out of five times. It can make for a fairly wild battle, considering that players can kick in temporary invulnerability, or use a Force unleashed boost to double their Force powers. A timer runs down throughout the entire affair, and if it ends, the game goes into sudden-death overtime. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>All the versions of the game we saw look spectacular. The Wii version obviously doesn't look anywhere as good as the PS3 or Xbox 360 games, but compared to other games on the platform, it still looks busy and fluid. LucasArts showed off the Xbox 360 game during the demonstration, and it's easily one of the best-looking 360 games that we've seen. The colors and visuals are just bright and sharp and eye-catching, and the level of detail is extremely high.<br />Unfortunately, LucasArts wouldn't discuss multiplayer for the 360 or PS3, but there's still plenty of time before the game arrives, so we expect more updates in the near future. The Force Unleashed will ship for all platforms simultaneously sometime this summer, and this is definitely one game that you should keep an eye on. </div><br /><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-bp-77-5-49-en-15-Star+Wars-84-j-70-2ec5.html">http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-bp-77-5-49-en-15-Star+Wars-84-j-70-2ec5.html</a><br /><br /><br />Play Asia Search Box<br /></p><form action="http://www.play-asia.com/" method="get" target="_new_pa"><br /><input type="hidden" value="1" name="search_box"><br /><input type="hidden" value="499635" name="affiliate_id"><br /><input type="hidden" value="25" name="page"><br /><input name="p_query"><br /><input type="submit" value="go" name="submit"><br /></form>Star Platinumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04229937491630733099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655241793509427674.post-72521455450030313222008-05-28T07:30:00.000-07:002008-05-28T07:45:57.850-07:00Metal Gear Solid 4 Original Soundtrack<a href="http://image1.play-asia.com/170/6y/pa.125213.1.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://image1.play-asia.com/170/6y/pa.125213.1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>Harry Gregson-Williams truly established himself among the top soundtrack composers.

Let's face it, it's kind of been done to death at this point, so you have to look on with a bit of skepticism when a developer touts the concept as the next big thing for its franchise. It's understandable, then, if Burnout Paradise's concept freaks you out a little bit. Burnout has, by tradition, been a fairly structured arcade racing game up to this point, and one would have to wonder exactly how well an open environment would serve the series' crash-happy gameplay methodology. Evidently, the answer is quite well. Developer Criterion has invented a world wonderfully suited to Burnout's nature, a city built exclusively to cater to your destructive whims. And while a few design hitches here and there get in the way now and again, by and large Burnout Paradise delivers an experience that is both true to the Burnout name and wonderfully fresh-feeling all at once.<br /><br />The star of the show is Paradise City itself. Coming complete with the titular Guns 'N Roses song (because Burnout: Night Train or Burnout: Mr. Brownstone probably wouldn't have been as catchy), Paradise City is, at first blush, a pretty standard racing game city, complete with all the usual landmark locations and boring background traffic. But it quickly becomes evident that Paradise City is meant for a greater purpose than just being a simple city to race around in. In effect, the city is a blank slate, a pristine canvas on which to paint your own obliterative masterpiece. The simple act of driving aimlessly around the city constantly presents new roads, shortcuts, and destructible objects for you to experience and, often, destroy. Nearly every intersection of road hosts a new event of some kind, and even after you've worked your way through the game's progression of driver's licenses (the only specifically linear portion of the game design), you'll still be finding new things you didn't even know were there.<br />That might sound a little overwhelming, especially if you've grown accustomed to the rather specific brand of racing that Burnout has always subscribed to. And at first, it most definitely is. Though the in-game tutorials do a decent job of explaining the event types and basic mechanics, you're initially left to your own devices and only have the small minimap to guide you through the many twists and turns of the city as you race--unless of course you want to hit the pause button regularly and use the larger map, which is a bit annoying to do. Those well accustomed to Burnout's previously track-based racing model might find having to explore to find the best route to the finish a bit frightening, but the good news is that it doesn't take a great deal of time to get a feel for the city's various ins and outs.<br />Until that time, you will experience some trial and error (with a heavier focus on the error), but the funny thing about that is that while you may initially find yourself failing races, it's not often you have to just go back and keep doing that same race again and again. The focus of Burnout Paradise isn't on doing specific events so much as it is about doing whatever you feel like. If you fail a race, odds are that there are roughly a dozen starting points for other races near the finish line of that previous race, and unless you've done them all, you can just hit up any one of them to get another notch on your license. Toward the very end of the game, when you've bested the bulk of the game's events, you may find yourself lamenting the lack of a quick return feature to get back to a race's starting point. But for the majority of the game, it's not really an issue.<br />It's a strange design to get used to initially, but once you do, it becomes incredibly rewarding. You can spend hours at a time just dawdling around the city and still make forward progress within the game. Don't feel like racing? Just go break through shortcut gates or bust up billboards, which are tallied up as you break each one. Or, track down one of the cars you unlocked on the road and take it down to add it to your collection. Or, you can opt to pick a road and attempt to "own" it. There are two types of events associated with each of the major roads in the game. Time trials are as you'd expect--you simply start at one end of the road and start driving down it, attempting to get the fastest time you can. Secondly, there are showtime events, which are the game's effective replacement for the crash mode found in previous installments of the series. Whereas crash mode was sort of like a puzzle mode in the way it made you create elaborate car crashes out of painstakingly built traffic designs, showtime is the polar opposite. These are elaborate car crashes born from little more than a bunch of nearby cars and your ability to control what is, in essence, a sentient car wreck.<br />In a word, showtime mode is absurd. The goal is similar to crash mode in that you're aiming to create as much damage as humanly possible, with various types of cars offering up different cash bonuses that feed into your final score. All the while, you can move your busted husk of a car around by pressing the boost button, which causes you to bounce around like a rubber ball. Again, totally absurd, but also totally awesome. It might lack the puzzling nature of the crash mode, but for pure visceral thrill and laughs-a-minute wrecking, showtime mode delivers in spades. It would have been nice if Criterion had found a way to have both the crash mode and showtime mode coexisting, as neither would make a particularly good replacement for the other; but on its own, showtime is a great deal of fun.<br /><br />A number of other elements from previous Burnouts are also missing or altered here. The lack of aftertouch (the mechanic that let you steer your wreck into opponents during races and take them out) is a real bummer, as it makes wrecking during races a pure nuisance rather than an opportunity for more destructive glee. Traffic checking is absent as well, though it isn't sorely missed. The racing artificial intelligence has seen a bit of tweaking here and there. You still get the sense of rubber banding that the series has always employed, but as the game goes on and the racers get tougher, your opponents become more aggressive and don't just tank right before the finish line. By and large, the game is actually a bit easier than the last couple of Burnout games, but the challenge toward the later stages of the game definitely ramps up significantly.<br />The racing itself is as exciting as it's ever been. Standard races are intense and thrilling, road rage events are full of wreckful delights, stunt runs have you jumping, barrel rolling, and flat spinning all over the place, marked man races are tense fights to the finish line as multiple enemy cars bop you around trying to wreck you beyond repair, and burning routes have you taking on challenging time trials to earn new cars. If there's any flaw to be noted with the core game design, it's maybe that there aren't enough event types. There's no shortage of events and random stuff to do, but running the same event types, and even some of the same specific events again and again, can grow a bit tiresome after a while. After each license upgrade, all the events you've raced (except for burning routes) reset, so you end up doing a lot of them over and over again. This wouldn't even be an issue if there were a greater variety of event types, but as it stands, there are only those few, and you may wear out on doing races and marked man events again and again.<br />If you do get a bit bored with the single-player action, you can always hop online and race against others. Doing so is quite seamless. Simply press right on the D pad to bring up the online menu, and then decide if you want to join up with other existing games or create your own. Online in Burnout Paradise is quite a different animal than that of previous Burnout games. You don't just hop into a lobby menu and pick races to engage in. Instead, the city itself is the lobby, and while the host decides what he wants to unleash upon you, you can just mess around and do whatever you like.<br />When hosting, you have the ability to both race and take on challenges. Races are of your own design, with you setting the beginning and ending points anywhere in the city. Challenges are set, and there are literally hundreds of them. The trick is that there are a limited number of challenges depending on how many players are in a group. There are 50 challenges for two players, 50 for eight players, and 50 for each denomination in between. This means that once you've exhausted all the challenges for two players, you'll have to get three, then four, and so on and so on if you want to complete them all. That might prove unwieldy for those who don't have a lot of friends online to play the game, but at least the challenges themselves are creative and fun. The challenges range from competitive bouts of drifting, crashing, and jumping to cooperative versions of all the same stuff. It's an inventive mode to be sure and an exceptionally fun one when you've got a good crew of friends to play with.<br />It also bears mention that while online, you can use the PlayStation Eye or Xbox Live Vision Camera to take shots of your rivals online. When you take down a rival player that has a camera hooked up, the cam will take a mugshot of that player's reaction. It's kind of a neat feature that, unfortunately, will probably be abused by all manner of nudity over the course of the game's lifespan, but that's inevitably what happens when you let people do things with cameras.<br />Paradise's visual presentation is precisely the kind of top-notch work you've come to expect from the series. Once again, the game sets a standard for how a sense of speed should feel in an arcade racer. This game is lightning fast, and the frame rate in both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game holds up regardless of the chaos onscreen. The car crashes in this game are absolutely fantastic, thanks to some dynamite particle effects and camera work in each and every mangled wreck. Cars deform to wonderful effect, scrunching up like an accordion in head-on collisions and bending and twisting nicely in other situations. The only thing that continues to look a little weird is the total lack of drivers in all the cars around the city. It's understandable that Criterion would leave out mangled corpses or what have you for the sake of an E 10+ rating, but it still looks strange seeing all these disembodied cars driving around like a society of Turbo Teens.<br />It's also worth noting that Burnout Paradise is a game that commands an HD display, and not just for full graphical effect. On the standard-definition TVs we tried, we found the minimap to be borderline useless unless we squinted like crazy. On an HD set, the minimap is detailed and blown up enough to rely on, but when playing in standard definition, it simply became a hassle to use.<br /><br />If you're looking for differences between the two versions, you won't find many. The PlayStation 3 version looks maybe a hair crisper than the 360 version, but that's about the only visual difference to speak of. On the flipside, the 360 version has a slight edge in that you can use custom soundtracks to drown out the miserable collection of songs EA has amassed for the game. There are a few highlights that fit well with the theme of high-energy racing, but the vast bulk of the music consists of irritating modern rock that's about as ill-fitting as humanly possible. Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" might, itself, be a car wreck of a song, but it doesn't fit the vibe of the game at all. Add in the collection of original Criterion-produced guitar rock tracks from previous Burnout games that sound like they were culled from Joe Satriani's nightmares, and you have a pretty unpleasant musical experience all around. The annoying radio DJ who pops up now and again to give hints, mock you obnoxiously when you fail, and make one glib comment or another about something going on in the city doesn't help matters. He's merely an annoyance that probably wouldn't even be worth mentioning save for the fact that you cannot turn him off. At least the sound effects are still top-flight in every regard. Crashes thunder, engines roar, and tires screech with terrific clarity all throughout the game. If you've got a surround-speaker setup, it's all the better.<br />It's entirely possible that some people might not enjoy Burnout Paradise's significant shift in direction, specifically those who simply wanted another incremental Burnout sequel. Indeed, Paradise is anything but incremental, and while it might prove a polarizing experience for some, most will likely appreciate what a radical overhaul this game really is. The open-world design isn't just a lazy gimmick--it's a wonderfully executed concept that doesn't rob the game of the series' most beloved tenet: the act of driving fast and wrecking hard. If you're one of the people who tried the Burnout Paradise demo and formed a rather negative opinion of the game, you're not alone. But if you have any affection for the series, you really owe it to yourself to give the full game a look. The demo did little to truly represent what a superbly fun racer this game can be.Star Platinumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04229937491630733099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655241793509427674.post-9027337870370442432008-04-25T07:20:00.000-07:002008-04-25T07:51:48.860-07:00Grand Theft Auto IV<div><a href="http://image4.play-asia.com/640/4u/pa.87424.1.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://image4.play-asia.com/640/4u/pa.87424.1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Prepare yourself for the hottest game in this summer!!!</div><br /><div>Overview:</div><br /><br /><div>The hugely anticipated, new installment in the ground-breaking Grand Theft Auto series is set to arrive in 2008.Grand Theft Auto IV is the next chapter of the award-winning Grand Theft Auto franchise from Rockstar Games.

Fall of Liberty's main story took place in 8 years before WWII occured.The Nazi are rising tothe power with an enormous army. They are preparing for the world domination war. Germans force are crawling over Europe and expanding oversea to USA !!!. All of this event can be prevented by only one man YOU !!!<br /><br /><div>In 1931, Winston Churchill was hit by a taxi in New York. In the real world, he survived, and went on to rally the British people to fight the Nazi threat. But what if he hadn’t?It’s from this premise that Fall Of Liberty takes it’s theme - without Churchill’s leadership, Europe and the United Kingdom have fallen to Hitler’s forces. By 1951, using crushing technical superiority, the United States is invaded and defeated by the Third Reich.With this setting, Fall Of Liberty will be an FPS experience like no other; a game that’s both a World War 2 FPS and something different. Fighting not as a soldier, but a resistance fighter in a United States of America that’s under the rule of a foreign power.Exclusive to next-generation platforms and PC, Fall Of Liberty breathes new life into the FPS genre.<br />Release Date :Mar 03, 2008<br />Genre :Action<br />Version :US </div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://image1.play-asia.com/640/5f/pa.97693.6.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://image4.play-asia.com/640/5f/pa.97693.3.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://image1.play-asia.com/640/5f/pa.97693.2.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://image4.play-asia.com/640/5f/pa.97693.5.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>Rating 8/10<br />Start to fight for freedom here. </div><div>PS3<br /></div><div><a href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-bp-77-2-49-en-15-Fall+of+Liberty-84-j-70-23fn.html">http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-bp-77-2-49-en-15-Fall+of+Liberty-84-j-70-23fn.html</a></div><div>PC<br /></div><div><a href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-7s-77-1-49-en-15-Fall+of+Liberty-84-j-70-2k5q.html">http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-7s-77-1-49-en-15-Fall+of+Liberty-84-j-70-2k5q.html</a><br /></div><div>XBOX360</div><br /><div><a href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-dh-77-3-49-en-15-Fall+of+Liberty-84-j-70-23dp.html">http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-dh-77-3-49-en-15-Fall+of+Liberty-84-j-70-23dp.html</a></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>Star Platinumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04229937491630733099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655241793509427674.post-89535724827319904962008-04-15T02:39:00.000-07:002008-04-15T03:02:34.253-07:00Intimately Beckham By Beckham For Men<a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/413ShiNVvNL._SL210_.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/413ShiNVvNL._SL210_.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>Pass through the feeling like David Beckham in the middle of the night with charming manly smell cobining with the strength of male and sweetness of metrosexual style.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>With comapatiable components of A freshness and sweet aroma in Latte style, A scent of forest ,and A undeniable of Vanilla and Tonka bean, the fragrance can pass your charm and attractiveness within tender air of night .</div><div> </div><div>Pass through those feeling here.</div><div><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/layzner-20/detail/B000VOJHE0/102-6445162-0031300">http://astore.amazon.com/layzner-20/detail/B000VOJHE0/102-6445162-0031300</a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Star Platinumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04229937491630733099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655241793509427674.post-12751258132337987192008-04-15T01:34:00.000-07:002008-04-15T02:38:10.467-07:00Ferrari Extreme<a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31H+0tOHFfL._SL125_.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div></div><a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31H+0tOHFfL._SL125_.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 80px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 122px" height="234" alt="" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31H%2B0tOHFfL._SL125_.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>This Year the Ferrari horse give their customers a new pleasent experience.</div><div>The new Ferrari Extreme perfume after the successful with its ancestors Ferrari Red, Ferrari Passion and Ferrari Black.

The Space or The Earth? The game will be divided into 2 phasesThe Strategy phase that's give you overview about your force managingyour resources technology informations diplomacy and mobilize your force after ending the strategy phase the game will shift to the battle phase when your force collide with the enemies. That's summary of the series.<br />For Axis no Kyoui or The Fear of Axis is a 1 player PSP Strategy game. You will found more than 400 robots including legendnary Hi-Nu and Nightingale.The scenarios will contain from the era of UC 0079 to UC 0093 (Yes the CCA is finally arrvive).There are about 200 characters you can use. The force as I know there will be E.F.SF , Zeon , AEUG , Titans , Axis , Neo-Zeon ,so what can they offer more? Yes you can change some original plot line like Garma Zabi will not die if you didn't send Char an reinforcement.He will discontinue his pursuit so Garma will do it alone and he will still alive after this event. I give it 9.0-9.5 out of 10 for this one.So, what are you waiting for Visit here.</div><br /><div><a href="http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-bl-49-en-15-Giren-84-j-70-2f24.html">http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-apir-71-bl-49-en-15-Giren-84-j-70-2f24.html</a></div><div></div><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div>Star Platinumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04229937491630733099noreply@blogger.com0
