From The Bomb - Gemini Rue

Posted by Thomas Ma on Friday, April 29, 2011, In : VG Impressions 



 Apparently, it's indie/adventure game week having a plethora of games shown in recent Quicklooks from The Next Big ThingFancy PantsHector to Gemini Rue. It goes about saying that it's a great two weeks full of games that you actually want to play, having said that Mortal Kombat and Portal 2 (Conduit 2 also) came out the same day/week. I rarely played a indie game, much less an adventure game before really and from what I gathered through these indie games is that two of them; Hector and ...

To Advance You MUST FIRST DIE!

Posted by Thomas Ma on Tuesday, April 26, 2011, In : VG Impressions 

 
My growing hatred for stupid-ass platformers design for idiots who either "want to be the guy" or just want to show the world that he is capable of beating that game even though stupidly jumping off a cliff/spike again and again and again and accomplishing nothing, only gaining the fact that you repeatedly kept on loading save states, hearing people whine over Youtube about how hard the game is to bitching to the comments that they have so few, building up a defense mechanism of yelling to t...

Intriguing WWII FPS

Posted by Thomas Ma on Sunday, April 24, 2011, In : VG Impressions 

There aren't many World War Two Shooters that centre around realism. Developers tend to send out a game each year with a lack of new features or lies that it feels more "realistic" than you seen before. It is a sort of deceiving people which new game to buy and the consumers feel pressured on buying that game. Well I can't blame everyone who buys WWII Shooters that has the same derivative game-play and the "quality" of realism. I usually buy that game because it somewhat merits quality fun to...

Back to the olde D&D RPG.... I mean Neverwinter Nights

Posted by Thomas Ma on Sunday, April 24, 2011, In : VG Impressions 
Recently I have been searching for games that I used to play before getting into console gaming. I have digged out old copies out some of the games that I have played before and others that are still missing. One of those games is Neverwinter Nights. This game didn't get me into RPG but the game itself got me into playing hours upon hours of this game. It's satisfying to even play this game again, everything from the game-play, cinematic and soundtrack proves to be awesome and epic. These wer...

I'll be Your Huckleberry!

Posted by Thomas Ma on Sunday, April 24, 2011, In : VG Impressions 
Since Gun and Call of Juarez, there isn't any good western-theme adventure/action games that derives from broken gameplay and bad handling on controls. Games like Call of Juarez had proven to be quite unique due to its dueling feature and a first person view that feels fitting for my tastes towards this genre. When Rockstarannounced Red Dead Redemption - like other Rockstar games, everyone is always hyped for it and pumped because its potential for being the best western-game yet, and the bes...

Take me Down to Paradise City.. something something zombies

Posted by Thomas Ma on Saturday, April 23, 2011, In : VG Impressions 



  
Dead Rising 2 a fun game that pertains the same qualities from the first Dead Rising despite being frustrating in some spots. The item combination is the highlight of this game, utilizing almost every in Fortune City into something magnificent or just plain weird. Though the only weapon that rivals the chainsaw in DR is the knives' glove which could easily kill most of the psychopaths in the game. Fortune City is quite a good-looking city albeit the design looks vaguely similar to Willamett...

A Possible what if scenario.... Commies rule the world

Posted by Thomas Ma on Saturday, April 23, 2011, In : VG Impressions 



 
In a short summary, Singularity is a neat game even though people think its too similar to Bioshock or Dead Space, it really isn't. The controls are a bit similar to Modern Warfare with the exception of E99 Power that you'll grant later - the sprint button feels too much like that game. The game-play, its quite alright - the starting is somewhat a tutorial where you get antiquated with the controls and the story of a island off the coast of Russia where nasty experiments are created and wher...

P3P Impressions (Persona Three Portable

Posted by Thomas Ma on Saturday, April 23, 2011, In : VG Impressions 

Persona 3 Portable Impressions


  



Anyways when they announced Persona 3 is coming on the PSP, I was quite stoked that I could finally play Persona 3 after not purchasing it three years ago. And since then, Atlus has changed the game and compressed it into a portable device, sacrificing some things but compensating it for another. I was eager to purchase this game as I didn't pre-order knowing that it will only come with Junpei's lame hat and not the soundtrack which was implemented within the f...

Dead Space 2 with Spoilers!

Posted by Thomas Ma on Saturday, April 23, 2011, In : VG Impressions 



The first Dead Space is should be considered my top games of 2008, I love how they created a new IP game that puts strategic dismemberment and horror together making it a blast to play. The only gripe is that I didn't finish that game due to the Zero-G flying sequences that always made me nauseous and also the fact that my account got lost after my 360 RRoD and had to replace another one and create another account. But before I played Dead Space 2, I installed the first game and tried to get ...

KINECT FORE!

Posted by Thomas Ma on Saturday, April 23, 2011, In : VG Impressions 
I forgot to write about my impressions about the Kinect, I brought it last month and been loving it since. However it took me awhile to find a Kinect in my area, going to Walmart, Bestbuy and EB since November and it has been sold out, and the fact that people wait in line before the Bestbuy opens and snatch all the Kinect and hearing that it isn't sold out their websites is irritating and annoying, wasting all my time to go there and expecting nothing in return.

Borderlands Impressions

Posted by Thomas Ma on Saturday, April 23, 2011, In : VG Impressions 
I was reluctant to purchase Borderlands due to not having Xbox Live so I could play with other people and quickly level up. That's the whole appeal of that game, which is kinda like WoW. Also the fact that Jeff has been talking a ton of Borderlands and saying that it's more fun to play with people than alone - having a higher leveled character helping out lower leveled characters. Seeing QLs after QLs, sometimes I thought that this game is quite dull, setting on a Wasteland and not much inter...

Two Broken Two Play - Two Worlds Two

Posted by Thomas Ma on Saturday, April 23, 2011, In : VG Impressions 

 
 
 
I'm not really a fan of the first Two Worlds, the dialogue and acting as well as some merits of the gameplay and controls are the things that put me off that game. And the fact that I'm astounded of how people liked that game even though it's entirely broken. Recently Two Worlds II (repetition) was released and I want to try it to see if they had improved the problems of the previous games. 
 
So I brought this game in hopes that it would be better but what I got is kinda the same minus a fe...

This is TRULY the Age of Sheppa.... Dragons!

Posted by Thomas Ma on Saturday, April 23, 2011, In : VG Impressions 

  

 
 
I was quite skeptical about Bioware's new direction towards Dragon Age II. From the looks of the demo to numerous interviews, they overhull much of the combat, gameplay and dialogue to feel more like Mass Effect and less Dragon Age. I had written a blog regarding these new features; different art designs with the graphical interface to techtrees that resemble a web of sorts that you can pick your preferable skill type like in WoW. These new features are a mixed bag for me, before and now ...

What You've Been Playing? - Fate of the Two Racists Edition

What You've Been Playing? - Fate of Two Racists Edition  

 
Instead of writing separate blogs about my impressions, here is a blog about two games that I've been playing. I talked before about playing Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds but didn't write about it. 
  

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds 

  
  


I have never been much of a fighting game dude but I'm much of an admirer of watching them though I don't watch competitions like EVO and it doesn't help me learn how to play a fighting g...
