Assassin's Creed revised for PC

The hype surrounding Assassin's Creed is already long gone. The view of console gamers were divided, but the game was flying over the counter. PC gamers had to watch the game on their noses passed. If only for five months, because in the end it all comes what sells well to the PC.

Tweakers.net evaluated the Playstation 3 version in November with an 8. We were talking about the complete freedom in the game world, the beautiful graphics and innovative controls. We were talking about the missions, which we found to be monotonous and simple. Less It is interesting to see whether the developer Ubisoft five months that have passed have to use these flaws to work away, or that the game was ported to the PC. Right


* What's new?

The PC version is called volluit Assassin's Creed: Director's Cut Edition. This raises two questions: who is actually the director and what has he changed the game? It is Creative Director Patrice Desilets. 'His' PC version includes four new research missions, which are a total of nine missions games. For keyboard gamers the graphics screwed and Jerusalem should look better than ever.


* Story

The story is set in the Middle Ages, during the Third Crusade. Altaïr, the protagonist of the game, is part of a secret group, the assassin's called. Altaïr can do to three places during the game: the historical cities of Jerusalem, Acre and Damascus. Still, the game has a futuristic element, which already appeared in the first demonstrations. Matrix-like disturbances appeared in the picture, which wanted to leave the game appeared in the store. Developer anything loose

No More Heroes

Tell your Wii, you automatically get pictures surfaced of happy families with family skipping Wii Sports are playing. Elderly or standing with a big smile to gloat brain trainers and IQ games from the three-seater sofa. The Wii is fun for everyone. At least, that's the image that Nintendo has created. Skillfully the past two years

But what if you like your Wii games more seriously, rawer and more mature? Then finding a needle in a haystack. Of course there are Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime 3, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, House of the Dead and Ghost Squad. But the offer 'tough' games does not about being. No More Heroes does that matter when called.


But NMH is much more than that. The game comes from the pen of the Grasshopper Manufacture headed by an eccentric Japanese man known as Suda 51. He was previously responsible for the bizarre and grim Killer 7 for the GameCube, a game that went through her artistic graphic style to the extreme. Ideal Japanese game gourmet food, but you had to come from a good family to. Cope with the stiff steering NMH has a distinctive cartoon style, but do not shoot through the minimalism of Killer 7. Indeed, the mix of cell shading and anime here comes perfectly from the paint, especially in the characters that appear in the image

Preview Ninja Gaiden 2 - Ryu's back

No Ninja Gaiden Ryu Hayabusa without so will the young hero after his foray into Dead or Alive 4 back. Back in the future, because Ninja Gaiden 2 again takes place in a futuristic world where fighting with the same striking ancient techniques and weapons as in the previous section.

The adventure takes Ryu this time from Tokyo via New York to Venice and eventually to the dark Netherworld. Ryu has a beef with the Black Spider Clan. Genshin, leader of the Black Spiders, wants nothing more than to help Ryu soap and put the members of his clan to achieve that goal. Which means that wherever Ryu goes, there are ninjas of the Black Spiders emerge that make his life difficult. The death of Ryu is not the ultimate goal. Genshin is out on the Demon Statue, an ancient magical object that holds the Ryu clan hidden. With that object to open the gates to the Netherworld and generation. The Archfiend That's where Genshin runs out, hoping that he means not only the Ryu clan, but even wipe out the entire human race. The army hideous monsters that Archfiend might provoke it must ensure. Ryu on course to save all humanity. Impending doom for the task is not only to save the honor of his clan, but

* You know

To coincide with the chase Ninja Gaiden 2 looks a lot like its predecessor. That's not bad, in this case, because the last part was very successful. As has been evident after the first brawl that controls for experienced players will feel familiar. Ryu still has a primary attack, a secondary attack, and he can block attacks. There are also all sorts of combos possible to convert. Your attack power by Ryu also has a endless supply of shuriken pocket, metal throwing stars that could be. Using the B button discarded With the A button lets you jump Ryu and he can happily still walk through walls. The left trigger button is used to block a skill not to be underestimated. Attacks Ryu can be no longer dodge attacks by rolling sideways. Away As for the place he can escape his enemies via a short sprint. It is at most a minor cosmetic change, since the goal is the same, it just looks a little different.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

Some games you know as a gamer that each year a version comes out and you suspect that some time will continue. So So I expect in the year 2050 Fifa Football with the same date, and The Sims add-on number 3244. By that time we will fix also are ready for Gran Turismo ... 6. Maximum. At the pace that Gran Turismo 5 developer Polyphony persists it will take some time for a sequel. However, the Japanese developer already done a taste of Gran Turismo 5 out of the door, called Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.


As the name suggests it is not a full game, but a game that should serve as a taster, or sop, to the full version of Gran Turismo 5 sometime in the distant future to the shops will find its way. Concerns Now, of course, but whether there Polyphony Digital may or must be held accountable. On the one hand it is a sneaky way to sell the same content twice. At the same time getting fans of the series over a year before the final game is expected a nice taste of the racing spectacle. The number of jobs and cars is limited, but the game does give a good idea of ​​what Gran Turismo 5 has to be.

That 'good idea' to be. Taken very literally in this case Polyphony has stated in interviews that it takes three months to two cars and it shows to the game. The cars look stunningly realistic, both in terms of level of detail and in terms of lighting effects that reflect through the paint. GT5 Prologue so clearly shows that the Playstation 3 photorealism can access. Graphic display has been the strongest point of Gran Turismo, so it's good to see that this is no different in part five. Strong it is that every car looks even cared. A simple Alfa 147 looks as good as an expensive Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG '02

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'.

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!
