F3ar Review

If you are looking for a game that will scare the crap out of you fear 3 is not the title for you. If you are looking for a title that will give you a taste of Call of duty mixed with a little left 4 dead this is the game for you. Fear 3 takes place right after the cliffhanger ending of part 2. You once again take the role of Point Man having killed his brother in previous games you are psychically linked to him and have momentary conversations with him through out the game.

The single player for this game is pretty awesome it is something that will be remembered by those who play it. It is filled with enough twists and turns to keep you playing. The graphics are great they are highly detailed and give alot to the imagination. I will say though that the physics are not that great when you shoot something sitting on a table or a shelf it hardly moves. Sometimes the bullets go right through the actual object.

What really makes this game stand out though is the multiplayer. In this Fear game you can play co-op through the whole campaign. One of the players will take the role of point man and the other the ghost form of your brother. they both have there pluses and drawbacks as point man you have super strength and you can slow down time. Since your brother is a ghost he can use psychic powers to blow enemies heads up and pose their bodies. Along with the co-op there is a range of horde type games where you kill wave upon wave of enemy. Last but not least there is a timed multiplayer game where you and temates run through a level as fast as you can while alma is trying to kill you.

All in all Fear 3 is a good game it is a great close to the series. if you dont have time to play the multiplayer you will definetly enjoy the sigle player if you rent it. But in the end I would definetly buy this game you will have loads and loads of fun till MW3 comes out or Gears of War 3..

Until Next time Geeks..

a medium update..

In the last couple weeks there have been some great releases and some great donts in the gaming world heck in the geek world if you want to get down to it..


First in this update a review of Alice Madness returns. American McGee's Alice came out in 2000 it has been 10 years since its release and it has become sort of a cult classic and a collectors item. Fast forward to 2011 and it's sequel hits the shelves. The first thing I notice about the game is that it comes with a downloadable code for the first game. This isn't unheard of with next generation games. After I popped the game in and saw the the intro I have to saw that this is a astonishing game. the visuals are great and the art is phenomenal. The art is so good that it was taken and bound into an artbook. Which is actually selling like hot cakes on any bookstore site. The second thing I notice is the Audio is also great much like the first game the combination of the music and art really give a dark yet heroic tone to the game and it's heroine. The game isn't too hard depending on what difficulty you set it too. After 5 hours into the game I must say it is awesome. If you are not familiar with Alice I would say rent the game you will enjoy it but i dont think you will feel that it is worth your 65 dollars.. If you are looking for a new game to play something that will give you hours on hours of enjoyment. Something that is not like other games I would say buy this. the one drawback that I have found with this game though is that in order to play the 1st game you have to have xbox live and you need to have the disc in the system..


Some other big nes in the gaming world this week is the news that Robin will be in the new Arkham City game. During the week of E3 Rocksteady revealed that Catwoman will be a chracter in the games story and challenge modes. Unlike Catwoman Robin will only be available in challenge maps. If you want to get you hands on this character you will have to preorder the game from Best Buy but dont worry even if you dont buy or preorder the game from them you will be able to download it as DLC shortly ater the games release.

Stay tuned tom is new comic book day stay tuned to the new releases.

Until Next Time Geeks....

Small weekend update..

Hey everyone I am just posting a small update to remind everyone that this week look forward to a game review of Alice Madness returns and the port of American Mcgee's Alice. Also since E3 ended last week look forward to some news in the geek world not alot of news but news none the least..

Until Next Time Geeks..

With E3 and WWDC this week who doesnt have time for comics.

This is one of those weeks in comics. I can honestly say that there is nothing that will strike anyones fancy. there are a few good books coming out. A few of the note worthy are reprints of Amazing Spider-Man #655-#659 this is an excellent arc in ASM and helps pave the way for Spider Island.

Along with the movie adaption of Transformers The Darkside of the Moon. After that there are no other big releases. Stay tuned for more E3 coverage and a review of Infamous 2 also dont forget that SDCC is next month so stay tuned all that good stuff..

Until Next Time Geeks..

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time..

The 3DS launch wasnt the greatest handheld launch that Nintendo has ever had. Even though it wasnt so good it has been a steady couple of months for the handheld and with the release of Ocarina of Time on the 19th my bet is that the handheld will get more of a boost in sales. In honor of the release of the game. Nintendo has released a new commercial for the game and here it is I hope you enjoy it..

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier E3 Game Play Demo

Ghost Recon, part of the legendary Tom Clancy modern warrior franchise at Ubisoft, is about to push into the next generation by unveiling Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier The game, which debuts in 2012, is going to be a heavy hitter for the company for the holiday season.

The game has been in the works for a few years. It uses a new graphics engine with better-looking imagery and it is another example of how Ubisoft is focusing on beefing up its game quality. The game will be like other future Ubisoft games in another respect; it will have as yet-unannounced social features that will get players to play with their friends and become more engaged with the product.

This modern combat game series has a reputation as a thinking person’s shooting game. The whole concept has been that a squad of properly equipped soldiers with intelligence and technology can beat a force of a much larger size. With Future Soldier — the fourth game in the series — the franchise is pushing further into the future than past games, which means gamers get access to cooler technology.
While other games reward players for speed and kills, Future Soldier will reward cunning soldiers who work together in teams. Ghost Recon Future Soldier will appear on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next year.

Ubisoft 25th Anniversary hits with New FryCry3 in 2012

Ubisoft kicks in their 25th Anniversary with a new FryCry

The Gameplay that they showed in the press conference showed new ways of killing the enemy from Jumping off a cliff and stabbing a person through the heart to controlling an AI using your gun point blank at the helicopter pilot while shooting the rest of enemies.

Another release that Ubisoft is bringing to us is a new type of World War II game called "The Furious Four". wear Team fortress meets Inglourious Basterds and looks kickass to boot. The people who made the Brothers in Arms games took a different spin on this and made a comical slant on the war buddies genre with a drastic turn from the usually somber military shooter, which could separate it from the glut of similar-looking games. Sadly, because there was no actual demo this was all pre-rendered, it’s impossible to know how the actual game will play until it we see a playable demo, but at least it’s different from other games in the genre.


Next is a film-inspired game, named The Adventures of TinTin, where Steven Spelberg and Peter Jackson talk about how the book came to be a video game.

UBISOFT LEADS WITH NEW ASSASSINS CREED

Ubisoft previews are kicking in with their previews for the Holiday Season. Assassins Creed Revelations. Assassin's Creed may be a game about exploring the past but it's time Ubisoft turned its attention to the future – not least because we're unsure Desmond Miles can handle another cliffhanger ending, but Ubisoft doesn't care and are putting another one on the line with their Bad Boy Ezio, Desmond and even original hero Altair are in the mix . While the name of the game may be Revelations, for this lot it might as well be called Closure. Ezio, who is a little older and greyer but seemingly no less acrobatic, is in town on the trail of Templar baddies like we didn't know that one was coming. On a pilgrimage to Altair's home city of Masayaf – the series' starting point – he is assailed by the Templars and discovers they are seeking five seals that are needed to unlock a library hidden beneath the city, where Altair has buried a weapon of great magnitude. Four of those seals are located in Constantinople and the fifth is in the possession of the Templars. Demo looks nice and looks like another winner but we will see in the future what this hit series holds.

This will come in handy especially for those who have laptops. Again it is set to release in July.

Apple has had steady growth in the app and itunes download market since 2008 with over 12.5 billion paid out for apps and 15 billion in revenue Apple is happy and today it wants to make its Mobile users happy with IOS 5. The new IOS has a crap load of new features which include.

1. A new notification system much like the android OS it will work in the background and will have an X on the bar so that you can dismiss it when you want to there is no clear all feature. But on the lockscreen when you swipe a text it will automatically take you to the message.
   
2. Newstand much like Ibooks this is a place to store all your digital magazines and newspapers.

7. the camera app is getting an overhaul too. The lockscreen will now have a camera button on it so you can take pics without having to unlock your phone. the volume button will also double as a shutter button in the camera app. You will also be getting a new editing features such as red eye reduction,cropping,rotation and,one click enhance.
   
8. The new onscreen keyboard and personally the biggest new feature wireless syncing you will be able to download and install new apple updates not to mention with the new wireless sync you will only have to download what is new not the whole IOS over again.
9. Imessage the new message system in IOS 5 it uses the push notification and it sort of acts like the BBM. You will be able to send pics,messages,videos and contacts. You will also be able to group message this service will work over 3g or wifi.

IOS 5 will ship and be able to be downloaded in the fall if you are anything like me look forward to it.

Halo 4 rumors officiall made real..

This morning before the Microsoft Keynote there was a leak on the Xbox homepage and it was a screenshot for Halo 4. At the Keynote the rumors were made true with a teaser for the new game. The Master Chief is back and he is scheduled for a holiday 2012 release. Not much is known about the game but from what was said it sounds like it is the kick off a new trilogy. Again not much is known but when i know more I promise you will know more..

Link to the teaser trailer..

A Krap load of Kinect titles and other stuff...

There have been some big unveilings from the microsoft keynote this year the from games to dashboard updates. For me the Halo anniversary editions was the biggest news but for most the biggest news is all the new stuff for the Kinect.


Starting with EA they are making a giant leap to the Kinect. Unless I am wrong the first A1 title to have Kinect support is Mass Effect 3 it will support gesture control and voice recognition make the last in the series hopefully great then it already will be...

Also hitting the 360 with standard support and Kinect support is Minecraft this is that sort of cubr craft game that is all the rage online and honestly I cant wait here is a screenshot of the game..


Forza 4 made an appearance at the keynote along with a release date. Look forward to the hardcore racer this October 11.


Last and certainly not the least for Kinect and the new dashboard update is the addition of Youtube and Mickey Mouse Kinect both are scheduled for this fall and I am actually looking forward to both of them..



Until Next Time Geeks...
