Theme of the blog.( magical, just magical )
I just cameback from the local store and I got three new games and I can't wait to check them out :D
I got.
1- PES 11.
The king of football ( soccer for you noobs ) is back this year and it's ridiculously overhauled it's not even funny, the game's animation got on par with current gen standards, ball physics, gameplay and pacing all improved and I can't wait to play the full game.
2- Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.
this game looks to be an epic cla$$ic in the making, I liked the demo, I loved what I saw from the media footage, titanic monsters? check, amazing set-pieces ? check, the gameplay had a good feedback and was also good to play at last and it appears to be the transition the series always needed.
3- Enslaved : Odyssey to the west.
Heavenly Sword was an experiment from Ninja Theory and that what made the gameplay department in that game lacking deep mechanics and hours but the story itself was so good and memorable so I have faith in Ninja Theory's future and I think they will be the next big thing and Enslaved is sit to prove what Im talking about, the story looks as much interesting as their Heavenly Sword and the gameplay department has improvement telling from the demo and the footage I saw, hope it delivers.
gonna check Castlevania first.
Dead Rising 2.
Dead Rising 2 is the best zombie game I've ever played, forget about Resident Evil (post RE3 ), Left 4 Dead ( RE clone ) and every other zombie game, this is the game to get for infected zombie fans.
this is a gamers game, it has everything you want from a game and more , the game takes an old school approach, there is no waypoint to highlight where to go and the pointer only shows up for your selected missions, it doesn't take itself seriously, there is no regenerating health you have to eat and drink to regain health and that makes you more badass, there is a time limit ( 72 in-game hours ),there is no every 5 seconds checkpoints, hell, there is no checkpoints at all and save points are hard to find and saving is your job to do, forget about autosave, I LOVE THAT.
there are not much improvements from the first game but the small tweaks makes this sequel way better than the first, for instance, survivors are smarter, they are dummies no more and they can be a big help for you, just lend them some weapons from your inventory or from your surroundings and basically they will take care of themselves most of the time.
the major feature Dead Rising 2 offers is the combo weapons, this new feature gives the weapons a whole new dynamic and mechanic to play and experiment with, it is not "combine whatever you find and there will be a new weapon" but it's still offers a huge amount of combination to make, just mix a Gem with a flashlight for example and you will get a lightsaber and it's more powerful than the starwars lightsaber lol. You could make a flamethrower ( combine a water gun with a gas tank ) , a paddle saw ( chainsaw with paddle ), SUPER BFG...etc.
So all you should do is go to the nearest store and get this game as soon as possible.
