Real Game Reviews

The world of professional wrestling has a lot of fans out there both in USA and other parts of the world. On the other hand, the world of professional wrestling games does not really have that many fans. Smackdown vs Raw 2007 is a game that might change some people’s view on this topic. My girlfriend, who likes games like Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantasy or Legend of Zelda, was impressed a little with the game. I must say that I am a big fan of WWE and TNA and I was looking forward to playing this game and as soon as I put it in my Playstation 2 I was quickly grabbed by it. The game is highly addictive, especially for fans of simulated, spectacular and acted fights like in professional wrestling. Smackdown vs Raw 2007 comes with some new elements, an improved look and a whole lot more.

Just like with every game in the series, Smackdown vs Raw 2007 comes to the table with new features, improved gameplay and a look that is very impressive. This is one the closest to reality fighting games More →

The early winter of 2005 brought with it the launch of probably one of the most successful games in the history of gaming: World of Warcraft. Produced by Blizzard Entertainment, already made famous by such titles as Diablo, Starcraft and the Warcraft series, their latest brain-child took the world by storm.

What is it? A MMORPG. That is to say it’s a roleplaying game, with all the goodies that has to offer, with a twist: it’s online. Thousands of players world-wide can connect to hundreds of copies of the game-world and enjoy the contents along with others. Still, there are many other MMORPG’s out there. Everquest, Guildwars, Eve, the more recent Dungeons and Dragons Online, to name a few. So what makes “WoW” as it rapidly became known, so special? It’s a question that most avid players find really hard to answer. Let’s try to break it down a bit and explore what it has to offer.

The world. Based in the lore-setting created by the Warcraft series, in the future of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, one of the things that appeals the most to its fans is the More →

Rogue Galaxy is one game that seems to never end. When I played it I spent so much time on it that it became stressing that I was not able to finish it. It was not due to the fact that it was too difficult but because the game was quite long. In most cases you tend to get bored and there were moments with Rogue Galaxy that will see you getting a little bored due to some battles being repetitive but this usually happens when you basically need to gather more experience in order to defeat a boss monster or something like that (or if you simply want to defeat some more monsters). If we want to take a look at the game in an overall fashion we can say that it is hard to get bored with it as the story is captivating, there are a lot of playable characters, minigames and the recipe for a long and entertaining game is well cooked up.

Rogue Galaxy is built around the story of a young Jaster Rogue. He just wants to hunt beasts on his home planet and wants to have some excitement in More →

When it comes to fighting games we always need to think about anime characters ever since Street Fighter 2 or Capcom’s hits. The world of Dragon Ball Z is one that has so many fans that it would have been stupid not to have a game that would be based on it and trying to bring in the feeling of the series into a combat video game. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is the sequel to Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, of course, one game that I have played for such a long time with friends and had a hell of a time, even more than with Tekken but less when compared to Mortal Kombat Armageddon, which was a lot of fun because of the sheer number of characters you could have chosen to fight as. Now, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is one game that did receive a lot of high marks in reviews from all of the specialists out there and you need to agree with them. This new game from the series does bring in a lot of improvements but it also features some downsides that should be known.

The entire series can be compared to EA’s sports games because there is little More →

Mortal Kombat Deception is the sequel to Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. It is needless to say that everybody knows about the Mortal Kombat series and we are talking about a series that is so popular that simply the name sells. My personal problem with Deception is that I got to play it after I had already played Mortal Kombat Armageddon a lot. This means that I was a little disappointed but after I got over that feeling I started to realize that we are dealing with a tremendous game. We have different game modes in Konquest, classic arcade, puzzle kombat and chess kombat. Puzzle kombat is really fun and you can add a lot of fun to the game by simply playing this. Chess kombat is one game mode that is highly entertaining as it features a combination of chess and classic mortal kombat fighting that make it very fun, strategic and entertaining. Konquest is not as good or entertaining as in Armageddon but then again, Armageddon did come after Deception.

The Classic Arcade game mode is probably the best part of the game and it is that one part of every Mortal Kombat game in the series that More →
