September Gaming Update

nrcima — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 18:24:59 +0000

Halo 3 – ODST and Drake Uncharted 2- Among thieves are two of the most anticipated games of this year and are expected to give a boost to the slumping game sales.

Halo 3 -ODST, although sounds more like an update to Halo 3, is infact much more than just another map pack. Its a new story that introduces a new hero and new locales for action. The reviews have been very good so far for this release. I will hold off on my comments until I get my hands on this which should be very soon. Check out this game details and trailers on xbox.com at http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo3odst/. For an ign.com review check out this video on youtube.

Drake Uncharted – 2 has been the much awaited game for PS3 this year and with the recent price cuts couldn’t come at a much better time. Or was the price cut timed for this game release and holidays, food for another post maybe. I have been a huge fan of the first game and from the promos and videos posted on reviews and youtube, already like the game a lot. Check out this game review by ign.com on youtube.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine — Uncaged Edition Review

Doesn’t matter if you are a fan of this untamed beast from X-men, you will definitely become a fan of the game for sure.

X-men origins: Wolverine (uncaged version) is the movie story with extra fighting to add up for the game time. As one of my friends aptly put it, ‘The God of War meets Drake Uncharted’, It’s a solid hack and slash game and you will love it if you are already a fan of drake uncharted or God of War. I loved both the Xbox and PS3 versions although I thought the ps3 version had better graphics (of course it’s a blu-ray disc and packs better content).

Check out the demo if you haven’t done so already but the real fun is in playing the full game as always

Here is what xbox.com has on this game http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/x/xmenoriginswolverine/. Check out the final trailer on youtube below.

Prince of Persia

Dint find anything princely in the first 10 mins of the game. I even got awarded 20G just like that. It would be a shame to finish the game and not feel the same as other POPs. The graphics are really good but again every game these days has awesome graphics in it.

Gears of War 2

I finally managed to get my hands on Gears of War 2 last weekend. I can only think of two words to describe the game and experience – simply superb. The game is no longer restricted to Marcus Felix but starts developing more into this coalition efforts to beat the alien force. I will not give out any more info on the game, there are enough sites on that already. Check out the game trailer at xbox.com.

XBOX – back on my fav 5

nrcima — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:07:00 +0000

First of all WOOHOO XBOX. Please let me repeat it again, WOOHOO XBOX.

Now to explain the WOOHOO. During one of my recent trips to Andhradesam, I visited one of these big video stores. Seeing the dirt cheap prices of the DVDs sold there I couldnt resist myself and got a handful of good old Gult movies. Its not everyday that I shop for such movies and so I did not check to see the video format of these movies. Its not until I came back to US that I realized I got PAL video which none of the DVD players in here would play. I was restricted to watching them on my tiny screen laptop.

Not anymore though.

The other day when XBOX scratched my GEARS OF WAR, I knew I needed something to put XBOX back on my fav list of musthave. So I started experimenting with all sorts of discs that I had and was trying to figure out what scratches the discs the most. During one of these experiments I accidentally popped in one of my movie discs and to my surprise, XBOX started playing the movie – the one in PAL format.

I am a happy man again.

XBOX – You totally rock but for the occasional disc scratching and oh ofcourse the loud noise of your fan. You are back on my fav 5.

Gears of War

Gears of War – probably the best game in XBOX so far, probably better than Halo IMHO. I bought the XBOX elite only for this one game and that damn thing scratched my disc the other night. I mean whats the use of bringing in a kick-ass game if the console is just going to scratch and destroy it anyways. I hope someone from the XBOX team is actually keeping track of how much they are losing because of issues like this in their console.

I am just waiting for the sequel to Gears Of War to come out in November. The trailor looks awesome. I hope the game is atleast as good as its predecessor if not better.
