The pieces fly from Viking: Battle for Asgard

Who has ever eaten in a Japanese restaurant knows how to cook with flair wield their knives out there. That same skill puts Skarin, the protagonist of Viking: Battle for Asgard, also on the day. With the speed and precision of a Japanese cook he cuts his opponents to pieces - literally. For the fans, this track in slow motion.

Skarin can safely be called a master butcher. With a few firm whack with his sword or ax - it shall either one - he cuts usually first arm off, then another, and then end with the final blow, of which he has some in-house. The final blow can result in the separation of mind and body, above the waist split hull and chassis or vertically split in half from the torso. Should you decide to make the final blow to use a special move then the action is shown in slow motion. So slowly that the inside of the body is clearly visible: you see the red meat and the white bones of the disemboweled body parts are clear. Blood is hereby not afraid: you look, even in slow motion, large quantities of flying around. It may be all of the vetting, although there is obviously a big fat 18 + on the box.


* Fighting goddesses

Viking: Batte for Asgard is an action game for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 which, contrary to what the title suggests, is not set in Asgard, but in Midgard. Asgard is according to Norse mythology the land of the gods. Valhalla, the hall where deceased Vikings go, located in Asgard. The battle of the title is the quarrel between two goddesses of the mythical realm. Evil Hell is put out of the gods, in their own words at the hands of Freya. So the two women arguing. Being fought in Midgard, the world of the living man and the place where Vikings live as Skarin. Hell After her banishment from Asgard to Midgard put her mind and wants to establish its own evil empire there.


In this aim, she is already quite successful when the game starts. Of the three large islands of which Midgard exist, they have the majority in the hands. In one corner of the smallest island in recent Vikings still offer resistance to the Legion of Hell, the undead forces of the evil goddess. Skarin is one of those Vikings and if he moeg collapses, grabs Freya. She sees Skarin its champion, the man who can save Midgard. She gives him an amulet which she henceforth can speak to him directly. Moreover, the amulet gives Skarin magical powers, though he shall have to train. For example, a game that a lot of action except a hint of RPG and even has a shred rts begins.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 tested

When Gears of War Xbox Live dominated the end of 2006, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas seemed to start. A hopeless mission However, the gameplay of both the offline and the online part of the game were of such a high level that 'Vegas' unexpectedly became very popular on Xbox Live. The story had an abrupt and open ending, which was immediately clear that a follow-up would have to wait. Long A small one and a half years later, the time has come and we can again hunt terrorists in "The city that never sleeps'.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 starts as a prequel, but after the first level to make a leap in time and you get into a game that along with the original Rainbow Six Vegas playing correctly. The player takes the role of Rainbow Six operative Bishop in itself, in the opening mission leads Logan Keller, the main character from the first game.

Las Vegas is threatened by bombings and the Rainbows should try to avoid. Impending disaster

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six - Vegas 2 Xbox 360 Review

Well, the next game in my range of 360 games: Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. Purchased on impulse because the trailer (found on IGN) with really appealed to me and some friends know that they were very much part 1. I myself have never played part 1 but expected a crossover between the tactics of GRAW and the action of CoD4. Intro of the game do not know. Or I did not wait long enough or there is prior knowledge is required but for me not a movie or story actually seen what the story is why you will be sent on the trail. The story is piecemeal ingevulg while playing (through in-game briefings) but that's it then. When I hear from friends about certain characters, fog there is indeed something in the structure of the game. Campaign You can play the campaign solo or coop with another living person. And during the campaign you will be 99% of the time accompanied by two AI players I affectionately "Lamme" and "Blind" going to mention, more on that later. In any case, you start the campaign on top of a mountain with the task you have to say at the bottom of the stairs. Do you get there, a brief story of a man in a suit, then a weapon magically appears in your hands and start walking. Without too many spoilers: the intention is using to find a number of buildings and eventually away from urban warfare you to beat. boss Throughout the campaign you have access to an arsenal of weapons, ranging from a simple pistol to fully automatic rifles and enough explosives to win it. A small war Certain weapons you have unlocked in the campaign by fighting (see Rankings). In some way Oh yeah, Lamme and Blind ... These two AI players are used to assist in your campaign and can be used as cannon fodder or as tactical deployment. Neither tasks they have mastered witness the number of times they die. You would expect that if they are shot at, they see if they can hide behind something or they use a counter attack with certain material. Nothing is less true, and they remain as two rabbits are shooting. Middle of an open space Not only do they catch enough bullets but when they die, you have to start a checkpoint again and again. Controls Ubisoft has in my opinion a good set of controls give the player although sometimes a button too long or too short press for a particular function . So it is to me more than once that I committed suicide because the wrong grenade was selected (instead of frag smoke). You can still change many settings, sensitivity to horizontal and vertical look and inverted view. As a result, I find this game play that finer CoD4, may also be because the action in RS: LV2 is a little slower but I like that. Ranking for Xbox Live members: welcome to boosting country. In short, the feature of ranks was allowed to be left out of the game. Where does this feature down? By making enemies in a certain way through, you get XP. Depending on each way, but you still get points in one of the three classes present. Do you have a certain limit reached, you get an extra weapon or bonus XP and so you end up climbing in rank (referred to simply as in every army). Fun and challenging, you might think! Not so if you have little / no interest in online gaming with others, not only will you rank stay low forever (or verrry slowly increase but by constantly playing campaign), but you will never get fifteen achievements. And of course there are all those well above the limit have scored, which is not difficult and you can just do it online with a few good friends, very tough for an hour or 10 rough play on and you are "Elite" (top grade) without have enjoyed the game. even 1 second -line mode There are two coop-modii and some "shoot them all dead" modii. Coop can do the campaign with one friend or Terrorist Hunt with 3 friends. Fun for awhile but frankly not the most brilliant feature of the game. Furthermore, you have like 6 or 7 modii where you play as a team against another team, alternating who gets the most kills to achieve certain goals. Personally said, invent something new for online gaming! Performance Just a separate piece about the performance: I myself have to date (30 hours playtime approx) not had a second problem of the mountains and mountains of complaints circulating elsewhere on the Internet. But apparently there are whole tribes who find the game poorly and want their money back. I myself do not think the graphics are pretty okay but high, sometimes you have some frame drops and I think one downside. The game in itself is very well organized. My ratings MAX3400 provides a 6.8 This score will undoubtedly be lower than the average scores on the review sites but I base my rating / review on the fact that I have purchased, without any prior knowledge Part 2 Part 1, and yourself to figure out how the game works. Seen a tutorial, relatively little background on the story and also the Rankings stick imho quite some disadvantages for people who can not / want to play games online. Campaign I found very short (on Realistic mode) and i already played without probleme 2x . The other game I play modii (because many friends play it too) but can not say that it is really challenging, the Coop of GRAW2 is many times better!

Project Gotham Racing 4 Xbox 360 Review

I personally find PGR4 less fun than PGR3 because eenheedsworst the steering much more clearly present per vehicle class than in PGR3. Implication range that an even larger audience for PGR4 has arisen and it shows in the number of "accidents" that is in the online mode is entered immediately. On multiple forums you read that entire clans quarrel with each other because it is pushed and blocked access while Bizarre yet clearly indicated in the previews that they specially additional run-off parts were built at different tracks. The single carreer I personally find what meager while the arcade events sometimes be pretty tough, whether you drive a motorcycle or car. For now I find online, but still the most fun playing happily with a group so it can not ride annoyance more crashes or something. Single player can have presumably with an hour or 8 to 10 games completed so with a bit of driving experience, that you have all the achievements for this are inside anyway. The sound of the game, I find somewhat disturbing, if you not like music while driving (or not of a growling V12), it seems that you have the options to change. different places in the game In my copy of the game I had to turn off both the main menu and once during a race. Furthermore, I do not think the music really high quality but luckily different currents (classical, dance etc). Online is a setback, not only is Weird little late entering all online rankings but also the opportunities in the lobby (such as watch a race that is already going on) are curtailed significantly compared to the previous version. Perhaps what is important, if you have a certain discipline of driving can not be good (such as skidding or tightly control or something), you just chance that you can never win. certain tracks in the game Again there is an emphasis on Kudos and on some tracks is the way to earn Kudos sometimes very "on the border". PGR4 is graphically a very worthy successor to three but that Bizarre has made ​​the game more accessible is the exclusivity of certain achievements become a lot less. MAX3400 thus provides a 7.6 to this game * edit * I do not have "Performance" completed, on a console, it is often all or nothing, and in this case the game runs well and smoothly. * edit * 2 After have played (1000G), I have my game fully questioned how this game is programmed. Hopefully this is not a spoiler but Platinum-mode runs the AI significantly aggressive without that you can do about anything. * edit * 3 Some weeks ago, there is a DLC released with extra 250G and several cars. For the die-hards among us this DLC really a disappointment, I think. There are three new Arcade chapters added and two online modii, with the exception of the Platinum + arcade has it all to play in the nose with fingers and (if you wish) the achievements within two hours still have it removed. The Platinum + is slightly more difficult for the average rider, but with a little effort to learn how a car reacts and how the best lines in some corners are, you can also invade this achievement. drawback is that the game through a large amount of people do not is played, I myself have been struggling to find best online games and have finally called to make an appointment online to race a few friends.

Tomb Raider - Legend, Xbox 360 Review

Introduction

Tomb Raider: Legend was the first game I bought for my Xbox 360 last year. I had not played for a while on consoles (read: a few years) and so was actually looking for something that was challenging, but also pretty easy to get used to the controller. For herintreder if I was a game like Tomb Raider obviously an excellent choice. It is one of the greatest game series, and there are even two films made. Reasonably so popular, even though he is usually in the budget bins.


Booting

Keep your hands off the knobs off while starting the game. If nothing is pressed, then starts a nice movie where you can see what predicaments you can sit. Half a minute later good A nice overview of the most graphic parts of the game, a kind of trailer say. Press once to start and you get to the main menu. Croft Manor Have a lot of game experience, then you immediately want you to get used to running with a new game, choose Croft Manor. Croft Manor is the favorite house of Lara and is in pretty much every Tomb Raider game. That house is almost as icon as the character itself, given that they have even stopped in the two movies. Unless you drown yourself in the pool, it is impossible to go into Croft Manor, ideal death. Enemies you will not encounter or puzzles, lots of puzzles. Enough bronze, silver and gold rewards to advance them to pack for your achievements couple well and truly in the game, of course, is always nice. You first have to play the first level for Croft Manor in may, but the first level is a breeze. Rewards In every level you will find gold, silver and bronze rewards in various forms. Most are well hidden through secret passageways, cabinets, cases, puzzles and collect them all without a walkthrough is almost impossible to do. Even after the complete play of the game and a number of levels to play again I miss it every level certainly two or more. Nice is that additional content can unlock in the game, for example a set of 100 object models, or a whole wardrobe full of clothes for Lara, as snowsuits, swimsuit, or the original outfit from Tomb Raider with a certain number of these rewards 1. The concept drawings are very nice and have a clear idea how the creators have designed the game. The rewards have a different appearance depending on the location in the world where you are, there is very well thought out. Storyline new is that you are not 100% in chronological order from place to place, this time in the world, occasionally there will be a flashback beyond which you play the young Lara, or is there a movie beyond the youth of Lara. There are as many as 60 of those between movies in the game that connecting the different levels and it really gives you the feeling that you are in the story. The beautiful, exotic locations are helping to enhance the atmosphere. Lara goes back to the past, looking for a portal in Bolivia, similar to the portal what her mother swallowed in Nepal when she was 9 years old. To activate the portal, they will have to get the sword Excalibur. Tell us more about the storyline would be a complete spoiler, so I'll stick with a link to the storyline on Wikipedia . Gameplay Tomb Raider Legend is a single player game, where you are in the tracks of Lara Croft, heiress of Richard for the seventh time and Amelia Croft and a famous archaeologist / treasure hunter. Tomb Raider is an adventure game, you play in third person and constitute a serious attack on your puzzle skills. You'll have to climb, puzzle, shooting, running, swimming and jumping. Platforms are interspersed with acrobatic horizontal flagpoles and even some racing scenes at Ducati's. Occasionally you get cutscenes where you successively to press to Lara to make. Automatically certain movements on certain buttons You do not do that then you get very comical movies they croak. They have at least something for everyone stopped in TR: L. It's a shame you can play the game within 10 hours or even complete within an hour or two in Time Trial mode. Mine would've liked a little longer, but I had to have. Not really the idea of missing something , the replay value is very high, you can play the game on easy, medium or hard difficulty setting with each new extras unlocked again. After that you have already mentioned the Time Trials games, cheats unlock additional (and achievements). And it costs you certainly play a few times before you have found all the rewards. All in all this you can certainly still an hour or 30 sweet for all the puzzles you've figured out. As a result, it is not so bad that the game takes itself a few hours. The controls are a bit tricky, because the camera is not always good turns with what you're doing, and at times when you for example to a wall is suddenly occupies a different position, so you can not look behind you. Sometimes you have to jump into that side and then you have to look at what you need to do before you start the climb. Regarding the whip for Indiana Jones, the magnetic lasso for Lara Croft. Allows you already catching hold of something, grab objects that are far away from your face or pull enemies towards you. You use it so often that there is even a website that TR: L has an alternative name: Tomb Raider Grapple Additionally, you need a flashlight that difficult enough Personal Light Source hot and has a battery rather quickly deflates, but faster fills again. Also, you have a pair of glasses, which you can see if you can do something with objects in the room in which you stand. Actually completely unnecessary, since all you can do anything is a kind of brilliance or smile. Enemies Enemies consist here and a leopard with the AI of a rabbit and armed mercenaries. Furthermore, a number of different types of bosses at the end of each level. Each boss has some weaknesses - if you really do not come true, then you can on YouTube find various video walkthroughs. There is initially a part where you have to walk on a concrete kind of see-saw, but walking on the ground a leopard. Leopards are known that they can climb, but even if the beginning of the see-saw in front of him is, he does not climb on it. In fact, he just walks past you off without looking at you, because he only comes back to you when you step off the seesaw and stand on the ground. Very entertaining, but not really realistic. music, sound effects and voices in the background you usually hear some music, alternative music, though. It certainly does not DeltaLight fits. It enhances the atmosphere for sure. However, the prize goes to the vote - it's like they have hired professional actors. Every person has his own voice, his intonations and when they cry, they actually shouted. This is undoubtedly the best aspect of the entire game. Hopefully they do it in future games, whether Tomb Raider-related, by pulling because it really is a breath of fresh air compared to the dead voices of example Two Worlds. bugs in the game , however, I had once suffered from the fact that the game stuck because I could not finish the boss. due to a bug in the game I'm not the only one who had that problem as evidenced by the many topics on the official Eidos forum and various gaming sites. One of the bosses is a large snake, you must defeat by dropping. 4 bed on his head For that you need, your magnetic lasso but yeah, that did it at that level, not by a bug. The only solution is to furnish Eidos restarting the level blanks and then hope that you have not even encounter the bug. So I have the level Kazakhstan and the level then with the hose so played two three times before I do not encountered the bug. Additionally, you need a bug, if you can beat the X360 crashes when the snake you to the England level goes. You can then only reset and try again. The first problem occurs in all versions of the game, second only to the Xbox 360. Conclusion All in all it is quite a fun game, with beautiful exotic locations around the world (and Cornwall). It is a nice addition to the previous series of games. Unfortunately, it is still a little buggy and seems Eidos nothing to fix, but if you just tidy some savegames stores, there is little to worry about. Graphics not the best, but for entertainment scores this game just high eyes.

Army of Two: pop fun for two

Cooperative gameplay is hot. Gears of War set the standard for co-op games in late 2006 and even then gold Army of Two as a potential challenger for the Xbox 360 hit. That the release of this EA game in itself would not begin for half year was not yet known. A game that seemed promising at E3 2006, could be two years later. Obsolete Army of Two, however, appears to have survived. The test of time reasonably well

Army of Two is about two soldiers who have made their hobby into their profession, they are mercenaries, soldiers freelance assignments refurbishing where normal soldiers would not dare to think. War appears to be this kind of types, which is apparent from what you earn by performing the missions and cutscenes in which you will hear more about the story. Soon become big business Many thousands of dollars to fly across the screen, Elliot Salem and Tyson Rios may well live on the money that gives them their dangerous work.

*Fat wallet

That money is not only figuratively but one aspect of the game, but also has a function. Everything you do in the missions, makes money. You shoot down a helicopter, then delivers you just $ 3,500 extra on. That money can be invested in new, more powerful weapons, but also better protection layers on clothing, other masks and so on. In this way it is possible to draw up a fat wallet, a dream package of weapons and equipment together and that is certainly on higher difficulty levels no luxury.
