Game Time

HELLO BLOGGERS! It is I, Rogue X, again. I don't know why I'm in 'blogging mode' as Pinoy-Mofo says it. I guess it's because blogging is now one of my top things to do. I guess from the title, you must know what I'm going to talk about today.. right? Haha, that's right ladies & gentlemen, it's game time. I think every monday I should do this, talk about the latest news on games.. interesting. Let's get started.

Bionic Commando:














UFC 2009 Undisputed:













Terminator Salvation:


















As for Cross Edge, Damnation & Infamous, I'll post some videos but I just want to put my thoughts on them first.

Cross Edge- A Japanese RPG.. (drools). I love RPGs and this game looks pretty decent. The animation looks impressive, also the mechanics its using. Should be a good rent.



Damnation - A futuristic cowboy scenario in the twentieth century. Impressive. Graphics are nice, and the gameplay is pretty good.




Infamous- Oh my gosh! I've been waiting for this!

InFamous is an upcoming sandbox-style video game for the PlayStation 3 video game console. It is currently in development by Sucker Punch Productions, the creators of Rocket: Robot on Wheels, and the Sly Cooper video game franchise. It will be the company's first original IP since Sly Cooper. The game was announced at Sony's E3 2007 Press Conference on July 11, 2007. The game is expected to be released on May 26, 2009 in North America, May 29, 2009 in Europe, and June 11, 2009 in Australia.

The story follows Cole, delivering a package to Empire City which causes an explosion with only him and the package as the only survivor. The explosion granted Cole several electricity-based powers, but he falls into unconsciousness, waking up two weeks later to find that Empire City has fallen into chaos; without police, gangs have taken over areas of the city, and a plague has infected many of the residents causing the city to be quarantined by the government. It is revealed by "The Voice of Survival", or Dallas, a surviving disk jockey that broadcasts across the city, that Cole was the cause for the explosion, which sets the population of Empire City against him. Cole must come to terms with his powers, and opt to help those in need or simply survive on his own, facing against large threats that have manifested in the city due to the explosion

Awesome. Just awesome.



Reviews

This is probably the most noticeable review that has been going through the web.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Ungaged Edition

Wolverine has (once again like its movie) received mixed reviews. From over 44 reviews, it has received an average of 72 %.

PGNx Media

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a superb action game especially for fans of the character. This is the Wolverine game that fans have been waiting for. It’s not incredibly varied and a lesser game would have suffered because of this but Wolverine is just incredibly fun. 90/100

Eurogamer

X-Men Origins: Wolverine may be unapologetically violent, but it's also unapologetically repetitive, and it's the one apology that needs to be made. 50/100

Playstation Universe

Push the platforming and puzzle solving to the side and you're in for an exciting and brutal ride. 75/100

Many were saying that Wolverine was pure fun. Also, most we're saying it was one of the bloodiest games ever. Problems were that, the game had many bugs, the boss fights were easy, and the game was short (like most movie games). By playing the demo, I've understand what most reviewers were saying. But at the end, I wanted more because it was really fun. The controls, the blood.. everything!
