Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3) My Review

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune
[Completed]


Gameplay: [8/10]
It was amazing. You can explore the setting with your character freely. It used the new wireless Controllers’ features in the game. The game was action packed and did well in the background. There was also the natural effect. When your character is riding a jet ski, it feels like he is really riding a jet ski.
But the bad side is that you can actually finish the game less than 15 hours of playtime. The character can jump 2-4 meters across a gap, which is impossible in real life.


Graphics: [9/10]
Totally great! It’s like watching a movie already. And it applies the effect of nature on your character. The character really gets wet.


Characters: [10/10]
Totally great too! Each character has a stable personality, which can make the game more exciting to play. They designed the characters pretty well. Their clothes are just fine, not too fancy, and not too normal either. Each character has their own background too that is relevant to their behavior and personality.

Pokemon D & P Review

Pokemon: Diamond and Pearl
Review

GamePlay: [9/10]
The best among the Pokemon Series! They added tons of cool stuff. You get this watch with awesome upgrades! It has an item finder (used to locate hidden items on the ground), step counter (to count the steps you took), berry indicator (indicates on the map where a grown berry is and where you planted one), love indicator (indicates how much your pokemon loves you) and many more. They made awesome use of the Double Screen feature of the DS. They added this cool beauty contest where you can dress your pokemon according to the theme and compete in dance and appeal competitions. Gyms are even more fun to enter. You need to solve puzzles first while beating other trainers to get to the gym leader. They also added the underground feature. There, you can dig gems (these gems can be used to buy furniture for your base) and set your base. Using the underground feature, you can play with friends. The goal is to capture the enemy’s base before they capture yours. To prevent them from capturing your base, you set traps. To escape a trap, you need to use the DS features either touch or microphone. And of course, more pokemon added. This generation rules because of cute character designs.
There are only two negative things I can say: battles take long to finish, and ONLY FOUR NEW FIRE POKEMON?! Graphics: [10/10]
Great cute graphics! Cute look for brand new pokemon. This game has the greatest graphics among the pokemon franchise. Sound: [10/10]

Great sound. Awesome sounds matching awesome graphics.

Story: [8/10]
As usual, your goal is to defeat the pokemon league and capture all pokemon. Nothing new, nothing special.

My Sims DS Review

My Sims DS
Review

GamePlay: [6/10]
The game play was good but not that good. You can interact with the tourist in your character’s town by the conversation options. You can even give them gifts. You earn money by doing this. You can also play mini games. You also earn money by playing mini games. When you achieved the goal points, you’ll unlock another difficulty of that mini game. Your character must solve problems in the town to help improve it. Well that will have you work to do! And of course, you buy furniture and arrange them in your house like any Sims game.
It’s time for the bad things. To start off, the conversation options are just being repetitive. Nothing changes. You just choose between: Scold, Talk, Listen, Encourage, Cry, and Laugh. That’s it! And there’s really nothing much to do in the game as you go on. You just make friends to earn money. Why do you earn money by making friends anyway? It’s not like you’re a prostitute or something.

Graphics: [8/10]
The graphics is cute! Just like any DS game would be. But it wasn’t that impressive. It just makes it like a child’s game.

Sound: [8/10]
The sound was also cute. It is perfectly matched with the cute graphics. But something about the sound that bothers me. When your character is fishing and you move the floater, it makes sound. That doesn’t really happen in real life, does it?



Story: [6/10]
The character just needs to help improve the town. That’s it! Nothing interesting really happens. The town just gets more and more visitors to talk to. Now that’s tiring! And most of all it’s getting so repetitive.

Heavenly Sword 2 news

Wow, I just bought Heavenly Sword and now there are news about a game sequel.. I'll just paste it here.

"They initially asked for video game background, then they had a follow-up phone call asking which games I had played or owned, focusing heavily on Heavenly Sword. There were 3 surveys done on Monday, groups of 6 for the first 2, 4 for the last group (my group). Predominantly males, asking about our impressions on Prince of Persia, God of War, Ninja Gaiden and, of course, Heavenly Sword. Some questions were asked about why Heavenly Sword didn't sell so well, what our impressions were on the gameplay, how the cutscenes were done, combat mechanics.

That's sorta interesting. The really interesting part is what was hinted at regarding Heavenly Sword 2. That, after the jump:

At the end of the night they gave us a few pieces of paper and asked our takes on the ideas (probably already set in stone). The following are the sheets that they asked our opinions on:

1. Heavenly sword 2 will take place 10 years after the events in heavenly sword 1

2. The main character will be a male with martial arts background

3. The main character will be Kai, but she will be a more mature woman.

4. The game will require you to master different martial arts styles before retrieving the heavenly sword

5. The game will, instead of button mashing, have controls that utilize an analog stick to go through weapons.

6. The game will have downloadable weapons, characters, and enemies to customize your experience.

7. The game will be more interactive with the environment

8. The game will have you on a storyline with replayable missions, as opposed to an open world"

Wow! They may make Kai(a childish young woman in the game who snipes enemies to help Nariko, the games' heroine) the main lead!

Assassin's Creed harms PS3?

I've been to lots of forums about Assassin's Creed. But a thread really bothers me. It says that Assassin's Creed made his PS3 Crash.. When he is playing, the game freezes and you can't switch off the console.

I wonder if it's true.. I've browsed a little more to know what is the solution if this happens to your PS3.. They say that you need to download or have the patch for your ps3 to keep running. So the game has a patch..

So guys, if this happens to you, better get the patch, if there's any..

Heavenly Sword Review

Graphics: [9/10]

Awesome graphics! A real blockbuster experience!

Gameplay: [9.5/10]

The gameplay is like God of War. The action is the same as God of War. What I like about this game's gameplay is about the 'after touch' where you can control the direction of your arrows(for Kai) and items you pick up( For Nariko). It's like your steering the projectile. I think this is the first action game with a girl lead.

Story: [10/10]
The story was awesome. It tells about the failing of the prophecy and about the choices of the heroine. Of Course, not all succeeds there is a time in the game where Nariko is captured and you can get to control Kai to save her.
