Hey everyone. I'm here bringing you your Sunday, November 8th, 2009 edition of my blog and we have a few things to cover tonight. We have the new Tekken game to discuss, The new GTA IV add on and a couple guides I purchased over the past few days. Sooooo.... let's get to it! (Gamespot censored the word 'g*y' so that's why it says 'G4y' instead. Sorry!)
Tekken 6 (X360)
I got Tekken 6 from Gamefly a few days ago and I must say that it is pretty dang good. It's definitely a step up from Tekken 5 (Although not by much) and it's an excellent fighting game, probably still the best series on the market. I've been a fan of Tekken ever since Tekken 2 and this is definitely a worthy addition to the series. There were some annoyances, but overall, the game was pretty dang good. Here's a brief good and bad list for all you list people out there.
The Good
- Best roster to date. Includes all of the standards
- Campaign scenario mode is a ton of fun and is the best Tekken adventure/action mode to date
- Great graphics and enviornments
- Plenty to unlock and do
The Not So Good
- Solid online play and modes
- Pretty dang hard. Might make you very angry and return the game
- Newcomers to the series might be a tad overwhelmed
- Might not be enough content here to justify a $60 purchase
So yeah that's a rough list. I already completed the game essentially so expect a full on detailed review in the next week or so.
The Ballad Of G4y Tony (X360)
I have also rented TBoGT from Gamefly. (As part of the Episodes from Liberty City disc) I rented it just for TBoGT, because as all of you probably know by now, i've beaten TLAD and talked about it on more than one blog and blah, blah, blah you're all sick of hearing about it. Anyways, this add on is a lot different. It centers around someone named Luis Lopez and Luis works for a g4y man named Tony. What makes this add on a lot different than TLAD is that it focuses on the night life of Liberty City rather than the biker life. You go to clubs, dance, drink, etc. You do crimes involved in this sort of life and it's all really interesting to say the least. There's lots of new weapons. There's some new vehicles. There's lots of new music and there's plenty of extra activites to do outside of the main storyline. So if you're asking yourself 'Is it worth the $20 bucks?' then the answer is yes. It is very much worth it. The content included is enough to justify it as a full $60 game. Believe me. This is good stuff people. Now I haven't really gotten too far into the story, (Due to me playing Tekken 6) but it's really good so far and it only seems like it's gonna get better. So yeah. Expect a review and another update from me on this in my next blog. If I don't review it by then, i'll remind ya'll.
Two New Purchases: Strategy Guides (X360)
First off: Fallout 3: GOTY: Collectors Edition. This is a limited print book and it seems like they made about 35,000 or so. Each book is unique and it is 752 pages. Yes, it is hardcover and it has glossy pages. It cost me $23.00 on Amazon.com
Highlights
- Limited print
- Glossy pages
- 752 pages + Hardcover
- Covers all 5 add-ons
- Pretty cheap
- Includes an Index, a census of everyone living in the Capital Wasteland and a bestisary for all of the weapons and equipment and enemies in the game
Overall, this is a really nice guide and is the absolute best guide you can get for Fallout 3. If you're looking for a strategy guide for Fallout 3, look no further.
Here's a link to where I bought mine.
The other guide I bought earlier today was the guide for Call of Duty: World at War. Now I don't really need it, but i'm a big fan of the game and it was only $10 so I thought 'Eh. Why not?'. It includes a lot of information on the multiplayer component of the game (Which is great) and it includes maps for all 13 shipped maps and includes maps and strategies for each specific mode as well. (HQ, Team Deathmatch, S&D, CTF, etc.) It's really nice and you really couldn't ask for more. I was also surprised to see that it covered the DS version as well. Anywho, here's the highlights:
Highlights
- Covers online play in depth
- Covers all weapons, perks and attatchments
- Covers all achievements/trophies
- Gives you plenty of tips and create a cla$$ suggestions for each map and mode
- Covers first Nazi Zombie map and the DS version of World at War
Well that is all folks. I will try to have that Tekken 6 review out this week and a BoGT review out later on. Hope you all enjoyed and until another Sunday, see ya!
