Dead Space 2 Review.

EA and Visceral games released Dead Space in Oct. 2008. It was an amazing survival horror game that could stand up to such greats as Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Everyone loved it, it had all the things you could enjoy and when you were done playing it left you wondering if stuff was going to pop out in your home.

Almost 3 years later EA and Visceral games are at it again with the release of Dead Space 2. The game takes place 3 years after the first. Issac Clarke yet again has to deal with the necromorphs and instead of being on a simple mining ship you are on the Sprawl. This time not only do you have to deal with the necromorphs you have to deal with Issac's spiral into dementia. Also new to the sequel is the Multiplayer modes where 2 teams play as ether the necromorphs or humans. It is a great addition to the game. It is fun and very scary unless you are playing on the necro side. It will bring hours of gameplay to an already awesome game.

From what I have played the game is amazing. The lighting much like the first gives that amazing atmosphere that makes you worried about leaving your room in the middle of the night.
The game comes in 2 versions the collectors and and regular. The collectors edition comes with a not to scale replica Plasma Cutter along with the soundtrack and armor and a weapon for you to get in the game. Also if you have a save game from the first game on your console you get the original plasma cutter. There is no difference between the one you get in part 2 and the old one.

If you are a fan of Dead Space I will say get Dead Space 2 it is a great addition to anyones collection. I will say though dont get the collectors edition because you might be disappointed in some of the extras you get.

Also Stay tuned everyone Feb 15th,Feb 22nd,March 8th and March 27th are just around the corner. Watch for reviews of Marvel vs Capcom 3,Bulletstorm,Pokemon Black and White,and the New Nintendo 3ds.

Until Nextime Geeks.

Snakebyte™ MinimMote Review






Hello Fellow Geeks, today we will be reviewing Sunflex USA, new Snakebyte™ MinimMote for the Wii. The MiniMote, is Sunflex answer to young children and adults with smaller hands, to fit comfortably in the users and to have a better experience while playing Wii games. As we can see the MiniMote is 25% smaller then its big counterpart.




The MiniMote also supports nunchuck action just like the original wiimote, The overal design feels solid, but please note the MiniMote takes AAA batteries so be sure to pick some up when you buy this mote for your tikes. Other then that the weight to it feels as solid as the original. The button layout is almost the same but due to the small size the 1 and 2 buttons are horizontal and not vertical. i tried couple of games that require the a wiimote to be turned horizontally and the button layout doesn't effect the gaming at all, and runs very smooth. the buttons themselves feel good especially the directional pad. The pad reminds me of the old classic Nintendo feel which feels like home to me.




The B button though is really made for small kids and small adults because when my gigantic hands turning on the
power button it accidentally presses the B Button. Since i tested the MiniMote i haven't had much issues with it except it really is not made for big adults so i had to ask my godson to test out the control. Since my godson is 4 and plays the Wii 24 hours, watching him he loved the controller since it fit his hand very well and believed the controller was personally made for him. the Minimote did come with and wrist strap that attaches on the mote but didn't come with a rubber grip. Maybe it is sold separate, but it would have been a nice touch to include one. Overall, Snakebyte™ MinimMote, delivers the good for younger players. i give this a 9.0 because battery is AAA and if you didn't know that and had only AA in the house that would be an issue (it is not mentioned on the box either) and would be great to have a matching rubber grip to go with the controller.

The snakebyte™ MiniMote features:

· ECO Mode for extended battery life

· Convenient console synchronization through external SYNC button

· Improved button layout that makes it easier to operate.

· Available in Red and Blue



The snakebyte™ MiniMote will retail for $24.99 and will be available January 2011 at www.snakebyte-usa.com and other e-tailers.


Check out the snakebyte™ MiniMote for Wii®, along with other gaming accessories for Wii®, PS3™ and PC’s, on display at the company’s booth (#5808, North Hall) during the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, January 6-9, 2011. If you’re interested in connecting with snakebyte™ on popular social networking sites, follow the company on Twitter and “like” them on Facebook.

Kinect and Fable 3 the moving review.

November is a very big month for Microsoft and the gaming world. It is the start of holiday shopping and the rush to get the best prices on anything and everything that your kids will want for the holidays. Even with the holidays coming some great was also released in October.

Fable 3 was one of the big titles that came out in October. Everyone has played Fable in some compacity. Fable 3 is much like its predecessors. You are in an open world but playing with a very linear story line. The games begins 50 years after Fable 2 you are the son of the past hero of Albion you are the second younger son. Your brother the current king of albion has corrupt the kingdom and all its people want a revolution. the first half of the game is becoming the ruler the second half of the game you have to decided if you want to help the kingdom for the better or make money and do evil things for the greater good to save albion. In the end Fable 3 is a good game it is not the in depth game that you are expecting if you liked fallout 3 but if you liked fable and fable 2 you will certainly love this game.

November again starts the release of many holiday games and accessories that will have you running and hurting people for the smile of your children. Wii and Ps3 have remotes but Microsoft again being the first released Kinect a motion sensing controller that relies on motions and gestures. When I bought this item I was very skeptical. About wanting to keep it but after playing for a couple of hours. I will say that this is a great controller that will change the way you and your family plays. There is no worry for controllers or batteries all you have to do is move and enjoy. Along with Kinect's release they released a bunch of games that you can only play with Kinect. I havent gotten any of them yet so you are going to have to wait till I do to hear about them.

Stay tuned though for a full review of the long awaited Call of Duty Black Ops. So

Until Next Time Geeks....

Star Wars The Forced Unleashed 2..


What can I say about Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2. I know I can say that its predecessor was extremely awesome everything about it was epic from the story to the graphics. I am sorry to say that the same can not be said for the sequel. The sequel is like watching the second trilogy after watching the first. It is mediocre in every way and when it is finished. You cant help but think to your self why did I just do that why did I sit down and play this when I actually can be outside doing something better.. I will say though that the little mimobot extra you get with the game is awesome.. I really enjoy it and am happy that I can add it to my collection.. All in all though if you have sometime to kill before say going to a party or a wedding rent this game and beat it yeah I said it beat it. After that return it and try to get your money back hell even scratch it a little that would do the world some justice. I will say buy it if you really want the mimobot but rent it if you want to kill sometime and braincells. Stay tuned though for my reviews of the long awaited fable 3,fallout new vegas and Rockband 3 along with Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja 2. That and I know much like me you guys cant wait to get your hands on Call of duty blackops when I do get my hands on it though. Stay tuned for an awesome review that wont be classified(I know corny but what can I say...)

Until Next Time Geeks...
