Prototype is a third person action game released by Activision in 2009 for the PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3. The game centers around Alex Mercer, a man who is desperately trying to figure out his past. The game centers around the cliche amnesia plot device, but still manages to be ridiculously fun.

The game is similar to a lot of free-roaming superhero games, including almost all of the Spiderman games and Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, the latter on which Prototype’s engine is based. So while the gameplay itself isn’t original, it’s still a ball. In most games like this, there is a limit on how much havoc a character can create. Alex Mercer has no reservations about killing and absorbing innocent people, which actually adds an entirely new dimension to the game: you can absorb enemies even neutral bystanders. By absorbing the enemies you might open up a web of intrigue, which progresses the story, or just gain health.

Another stand-out of Prototype is the ability to shapeshift. Mercer can take on the form of the last person he absorbed and he is also able to unlock a myraid of powers and upgrades using evolution points, which are gained form defeating enemies and completing missions. If you think completing missions is lame and would rather just destroy everything in sight, then that’s fine because ample points can be gained both ways. That said, the infection spreads further as the story progresses, so that increases military and zombie presence (giving Mercer more things to kill).

There are several reasons to pick Prototype off the shelf. First, the game offers the player so many ways to kill opponents that it never really gets old, and although some upgrades are much more effective than others, all of them can be used against pretty much any foe. If you want to run around in Guyver armor with a giant arm blade, elbowing dropping onto takes and civilians, then you are free to do so. Or you can forfeit the armor and use your increases speed to jump across buildings and outrun helicopters, while flinging around an organic whip that is almost similar to something found on the super villain Carnage from the Spiderman franchise.

That said, the game is not perfect, or even close. The graphics and draw distance are very uninspired, which makes the game much less immersive. There is also the inability to destroy most buildings – you can drive around in a tank that’s able to level an enemy base in a single shot, but it’s somehow only effective on said enemy bases. It won’t destroy any buildings of similar size or cause any noticable damage. Even scorch marks are missing. There’s also the annoyance of enemy helicopters, especially late in the game. They carry homing missiles that can be annoying, espcially since they keep flinging you into the air and can be utterly relentless.

Left 4 Dead 2 will be one of the most popular games this holiday season when it comes out on the PC and Xbox 360. However, a select group of gamers won’t be looking forward to the sequel to one of the best games last year. Left 4 Dead 2 doesn’t sit too well with them. Here are a few reasons why some gamers are dreading the release of Left 4 Dead 2 on the PC and Xbox 360.
Lack of Content in First Game
Despite being one of the best games released in 2008, Left 4 Dead did come with some flaws. The biggest of which is the lack of content with only four playable campaigns. While the game contains high-replayability thanks to the Director system and numerous difficulties, gamers wanted more from the first game.

In fact, Left 4 Dead shipped as an incomplete game as two of the campaigns in versus mode were missing. Fortunately, developer Valve later patched it in the game. Still, the first game needs plenty of content. Unfortunately, Valve is now putting much of their efforts on Left 4 Dead 2 for the PC and Xbox 360. This is frustrating to fans of award-winning company as their other top-notch multiplayer game, Team Fortress 2, regularly receives free upgrades and enhancements.

Lack of Significant Upgrades
For some, Left 4 Dead 2 is nothing more than an expansion pack to the first game. The sequel offers five brand new campaigns, an expanded Director system, new melee weapon and a mystery new mode. However, the core gameplay remains essentially unchanged from Left 4 Dead to Left 4 Dead 2. Because of the small improvements, many fans of the series don’t feel that the sequel is worth the full price of admission.

Too Soon
Because of the above reasons, many gamers felt that Left 4 Dead 2 is coming out too soon. The original Left 4 Dead on the PC and Xbox 360 was released in late November in 2008. The sequel would arrive exactly a year later. Many gamers feel that one year is too short for a proper sequel to be produced.

Ironically, Valve is known for taking their time with developing their video games. Even the sequels take years to developed as Valve wants to polish their product as much as possible. So it is uncharacteristic for them to release a sequel so soon for Left 4 Dead.

Even with all the negativity, Left 4 Dead is still widely popular. It just isn’t as highly-anticipated as it should be.

Metal Gear Solid : Peace Walker’s story takes place after the events of Metal Gear Solid 3 and Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, the player plays as “Naked Snake”. Trouble happens when a man asks for assistance with the CIA while Snake had left the U.S. after murdering his mentor, and reconsiders after receiving news that his mentor is still alive.
The PSP is known to produce many great games and the Metal Gear series are definitely part of that category. The new installment to the series is no different, the gameplay, sound track, graphics along with the excellent Metal Gear storyline all put together to create an experience you’ll never forget. What really “amazed” when I first played the game was that the developers were able to improve the game to such a degree with the PSP’s limited hardware, I was so amazed that I thought I was playing a PS3 level game for a few minutes. Not only were those features improved but the developers even found a way to enhance the feel of the game as you go deeper into the story such as new control sets and great camera angles which are very handy when dealing with those tough scenarios.

Now you may remember from Portable Ops (Previous game) that you are able to recruit soldiers, and in Peace walkers the developers have chosen to keep that feature which is an excellent choice because they are not only adding more features to the game but they remember to keep the old features in for players to feel nostalgic.
Another thing I really like about this game is the new Close quarter combat system they recently implemented, you can now simply assign a button that correspond to it, the developers have also chosen to allow for more player freedom by allowing you to modify your weapons for better stats.

Now onto my favorite part of the game, as I will go more in depth about the choice of sound in this game, all the sounds especially the weapons sound very realistic, the background sound really puts the player into the mood intended by the game developers, and with headphones you are able to feel yourself inside the “Metal Gear” world and enhance your experience drastically.

I really suggest you go down to your local Walmart, Best Buy, or whichever store is most convenient and pick up a copy of this game for around $30. The great storyline, great new and old features will surely drag you into this game and create an experience you will never forget.

If you’ve just purchased Sid Meier’s Pirates! for the Wii, congratulations, you’ve just bought a great strategy game developed by one of the video game industries most reputable designers. However, upon inspection of the manual that comes with the game, you may have noticed that there is nothing provided to get you started other than a description of the Wii remote controls. This article is to help you get started and to explain all those important things the manual doesn’t tell you about.
The game begins with your ship at sea. In the bottom left corner is a round mini map and some icons with numbers next to them. The top icon, a piratey skull and crossbones, represents your fame/notoriety. Beneath that, the guy wearing a green bandanna, is how many pirates are in your crew. One down is the food icon, the number for which represents how many months you can sail with the food you have aboard before you run out. The face beneath that indicates the mood of your crew. It stays that yellowish-green and the smile changes to a frown as morale drops, and then turns red when your crew becomes mutinous.

Food can be obtained buy buying it at port, or of course by stealing it. You ARE a pirate after all. To go into a port, just sail into it. Don’t worry about crashing your boat into ports or beaches, but DO watch out for rocks and rocky shallow areas, which can damage your hull.

The first time I played it was easy to attack a ship but there’s nothing in the manual about how to board it. Simply put, you just crash into it. Don’t worry, it doesn’t damage your hull, and it usually triggers the sword fight mini game. If you have lots of notoriety, have severely damaged their ship, or have killed most of the crew with grape shot, the sword fight may be skipped because they just surrender. Be careful with your cannons though, because sinking a ship means you cant steal their gold, or much of it anyway. Sailing over cargo that falls into the sea during a fight or after a sinking gets you a very small amount of money.

During your pirating adventures you will acquire maps to treasure, lost relatives, and lost cities. In previous incarnations of this game one was able to disembark their ship and travel overland, however in this version, you don’t. This is where your spyglass comes in. Scan the area with your spyglass, and you will notice rocks, pyramids, and Indian statues are named after looking at them. These are the landmarks that appear on your map. Once you use the landmarks to figure out where the X ought to be, scan the area with your spyglass and it should show itself. Sometimes this may require changing your angle or changing your camera view. Once your target appears sail into the shore to trigger the cut scene.

Another common question is how to attack towns. The game will not allow you to attack towns until that country has put out a reward for you, which happens after you prey on their ships a lot. Once this has happened, fortified cities will shoot at you if you sail near them. At that point the “A” for attack will begin to appear. Note that small settlements will not attack you. Be aware that when bombarding a town, shooting at buildings (yellow cross hairs) makes you money, but shoot the defending canon first (red cross hairs) to defend yourself.

One of the main frustrations in the game is sailing in an easterly direction. The wind blows from East to West, so of course sailing into the wind is going to be slow going, but there a couple of things you can do to speed up the process. The first is to do what all sailing ships do in real life, and that is to tack. Sail at about a 45 degree angle and make a zig zag pattern. The other thing you can do is to make a very small boat, such as a pinnace or a war canoe, your flagship. Your whole fleet sails at whatever speed your flagship does, and generally the smaller the ship, the faster it sails into the wind. When you get to where you want to go, you can always change your flagship back to your preferred vessel.

Also, an important note on having a fleet of ships – having more than one ship is an insurance policy against losing a battle. If you are defeated, you are able to flee to another ship instead of getting marooned or going to jail. As a beginner pirate, I recommend always sailing with an escape ship in tow.

If you’re looking for more tips and strategies, I recommend visiting the Addicted to Pirates! fansite and searching their forums. Most of the conversation there is about the PC and Xbox versions of the game, but most of it still applies, and the things that don’t will be obvious to you. You may also find the official forum of 2K Games to be helpful.

I hope this helps. Happy pirating!

Street Fighter 2 NES is a revisition to an old pirated Nintendo Entertainment System game titled Street Fighter 3. Instead of being a downgraded version of SF 3, it was actually a downgraded version of Street fighter 2.
Don’t know why pirated video games have fradulant titles, they just do. SF3 NES was a piss poorattempt to post an arcade classic to older hardware. SF 2 NES recafies this by correcting and adding game play elements.

Roster:Every character from the original Street Fighter 2, sans Zangief. The Red Cyclone won’t be missed though. Final Fight’s Mike Haggar and Street Fighter running gag Sheng Long appear as playable characters in this game.

SF 2 NES has a gameplay system that’s like a mix between SF 2 and the Alpha series. Gameplay overall is not at still as SF 2(that’s a good thing), and there is a super combo meter. Each character has at least one level three super.

Aside from Great special effects, new attacks, fun game play and the oppertunity to defeat Sheng Long to see if you really can stand a chance, there isn’t much different from the original. The pirate game blows, this version is pretty good.

Once your beginning is good and you know how to perform towards the end, concentrate on the middle part of the game. Choose your strategy and accordingly, plan your fighting strategy.
