Game Reviews
Assassins Creed 1: So for the past few days I have been on an Assassins Creed kick. The game is fun but it’s really slow at times. I love the aspect of playing as an ancient assassin and I love the whole story. Myself being a history buff I love the historical things they throw into the game. The game ends with you killing your master who taught you the art of killing. This was a great ending to the story. Assassins Creed 1 is a great game and I love the history references
Borderlands: I have heard some stories about this game and it got great reviews, but I am going to be completely honest, I just could not get into that game. It seems so pointless and I just don’t see myself sitting down and playing that game for a good chunk of time. Maybe it’s because of the character I picked (hunter) but I could just not get into the game. If you want to play it, you need a tolerance for pointless killing, and no immediate plot line what so ever.
Batman Arkham Asylum: For the past couple years; the Batman saga has been a big hit. Batman Begins was a huge movie for modern day D.C fans, and the groundbreaking Dark Knight was raved about for months, and was one of the few action movies whose sequel was better than the first. Now the new game, Batman Arkham Asylum is out, and all I can say is wow. Even though the game doesn’t follow the new movies in terms of character looks and actions, it is an awesome game. It is original Batman at its finest. The Batman that little kids dreamed about and the Batman that has been the poster child for D.C comics for more than 70 years is back. The game takes place in Arkham Asylum where the criminally insane are held such as Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and Scarecrow. Joker has taken over and now all of the inmates are running freely throughout the island, and Batman is the only one that can stop them. On top of the authenticity of the game, the graphics and game-play are top of the line. If you are looking for a modern day game with a touch of classic comic, Batman Arkham Asylum should be your first pick.
NCAA Basketball 2010: Sports games are always fun especially college ones. You have the chance to become your favorite school and lead them to victory. The game is self explanatory in terms of game play, and it has a feel of realism in the game. Before every game it shows who is broadcasting it such as ESPN or NBC and there are different announcers for each station. Even that small thing makes you feel even more into the game. The game also features the hardest places to play. For example, my team (UNC) has the hardest place to play, so if the other team is trying to make a shot or free throw and they are away, then the screen will shake and if it is happening to you, your controller will vibrate like crazy. This makes the game seem more real and for that, I thank the guys over at EA sports that made this game. If you are looking for a good basketball game this year, consider NCAA Basketball 2010.
