Beyond Good & Evil HD
By: Thegreenback
If you like action adventure, sneaking, camera, and trying
to save lots of people from enemy aliens then this is the game for you. Beyond
Good & Evil takes you across the universe to another planet where things
called the DomZ attack the planet taking people called Hillyens for
reasons unknown.
You play as Jade a girl who lost her parents to the DomZ
years ago. Jade is keeping up an orphanage to help other kids who lost their
parents to the attacks with Uncle Pey'j. Adventuring down the long road to helping the people of Hillys
you use your staff to fight enemies all around. You can also charge up and
attack to do an explosion of energy to take out more. As your biggest weapon is
your camera. Taking pictures to help you do your report for a band that fights
the government called the Iris Network. You can also take pictures of animal
around the world making lots of money to help you buy things and make pearls, which help you upgrade your hovercraft.
You also have a comrade who helps you out in fights also helps solve puzzles. They
have their own health so you have to watch out for them and they will watch out for you. Each
having their own attacks and dialog. Saying how they feel about certain things
you get attached to them and wanting to keep them safe. One of them is your
uncle Pey’j who is funny but can be serious and caucus. When he attacks he puts
enemies in the air when he uses his jet boots attack. The other is Double H who
is very serious but always is willing to help you fight and protect the people.
As his attack is like a bull rush and can slam into enemies taking them out or
even bars that get in your way. He also has armor that allows him to pass
through lasers that stand in the way.
You have a feel of some free world roam around in-between
the big missions you do to take down the DomZ. As you travel around on your
hovercraft to take you where you want to go. As you can upgrade your hovercraft
with things called pearls that you find by killing DomZ or doing certain tasks
as side missions. Or even looking for animal to take pictures to earn some extra
cash. With even some areas that you chase down some people to get back the cash
they stole from you or racing for some pearls.
Most of the missions you do involves sneaking with action.
As you figure out how to get past guards that stand in your way. Figuring out
patterns and ways to take out enemies keeps changing throughout the game some
places pushing what you know to the limit. As you get past areas to find
pictures to take for the Iris Network.
The boss battles are grand that have a mini puzzle to figure
out how to take them down. Some with help and others doing a solo act. With
each boss the difficulty goes up a lot more on how to hurt them. Each boss
is unique of their fighting style and will kill you if you’re not paying
attention. There are no repeatable bosses or any creature that you see in the
world like them.
The game was originally made for the PlayStation 2 so a lot
of the graphics are last generation. As they touched it up in a lot of points to
get it looking smoother and with the little touches. But you can see in certain
areas where they couldn’t get it or some cut scenes.
The game is very fun with a bunch of combos of different
style games that just work together to make a great adventure. With only a few
things bugs and great game play with a compelling story and characters. Showing
some of the last generation graphics doesn’t slow down the game at all. So for
playing on the PS2 I would give the game a 8.9 but with it showing loading
screens, and some age in areas for the 360 is not that amazing.
So I would give the
game a 8.5 out of 10

Minecraft: 360 Edition
By: B-Rad G From Malibu
Have you ever seen yourself excited or
anxious to get off of a long day of working hard, only to go home and
dig up some dirt to build a house or suspension bridge? Me neither.
But with Minecraft: 360 edition, you'll never be more stoked to do
just that!
Minecraft 360 is part of the XBLA
“Next” series. At 1600 MSP ($20 USD) it's defiantly one of the
higher priced games on XBLA, but if your a fan of Minecraft or just
burnt out on FPS's then a great way to spend a hard earned twenty
bucks.
This game only released with the 1.6.6
version of the game but updates are promised soon. This version does
have a few bugs in it but most are minor. For example, the sugar
canes are solid when you should be able to walk through them. A few
with the tall grass in the game like spiders being immovable when hit
in tall grass or mobs taking no damage in tall grass. Minor problems
with the bucket not actually placing water when you empty it (this
happens with Lava, too). But the glitches are few and far between
with fixes being worked on now.
They have simplified the crafting in
this game over the computer version. Now instead of having to know
where to place your raw materials in the crafting table, all you have
to do is just pick what you want to make and it adds everything into
the crafting table, in the correct location, for you. This is a much
better and quicker system over the computer version. Allowing for
more time for actually building an amazing world instead of
researching how to build single building blocks.
They did limit the size of the maps
from the PC version. Giving you only the area that's the size of the
map that you carry around. But even on this condensed map size, the
playing area is still pretty huge. Giving you more than enough room
to build a great sized castle or even a decent sized city.
They did add a lot of very cool
features when it comes to Minecraft 360. You can have up to 8 players
online in one game. Hopefully this will go up to something like 16 or
even 32 players as game updates come out for it in the future. But
for now, 8 is a nice number of players, especially cause the maps are
huge yet. They have also added 4-player split-screen. This is a very
nice thing over PC because chances are that your friends or
girlfriends aren't going to want to sit around the tiny computer
screen to watch you move around blocks. But, in general, when your
buddys come over, you all gather around the tube and play some games.
This is a fun way to have everyone get involed in the game but you
should never turn down free labor when building your empire! Please
note that if you do not have an HDTV you will not be able to play
split-screen. This is currently nothing in the works to fix this
problem and probably never will be. If you bought this game for this
feature in the first week or so of release, Microsoft is offering a
full refund of the game if you only have a SDTV.
All-in-all, I really enjoyed this game.
I had never played Minecraft before it come out on XBLA, and with
everyone telling me it was a game where you dug out a block then put
that block somewhere else, I was seriously considering getting new
friends because they kept saying the were addicted to this game.
After playing the demo for half an hour, I spent the 1600 MSP and was
immediately addicted! I promise that you will enjoy this game if you
are a gamer.
I'm giving Minecraft 360 a 9.5 out of
10.

Trials Evolution
By: B-Rad G From Malibu
You close your eyes and suddenly your
falling... The breeze in your face, the wind in your hair, the sheer
feeling of total amazement. Then, you open your eyes and realize that
your patio door is open and your sitting on your couch playing Trails
Evolution. Yeah, it's that good!
This is an XBLA title that is a sequel
to a great game, Trials HD. Like it's predecessor, this is a puzzle
typed driving game. It has tens of dozens of levels ramping up from
beginner to extreme. This game will set you back 1200 Microsoft
points. ($15) But you won't find a better or more challenging game
that you'll want to spend your points on.
Trails Evo has 1-up'd the graphics.
Setting the whole game outside, instead of in a huge warehouse.
Giving great scene's ranging from desolate oil fields to a live bomb
range complete with an exploding bunker killing your hero after
beating it. They have taken this game to a whole new level as far as
just the enjoyment that you'll get out of it.
There are very few minor tweaks to the
physic's engine, so anyone that has played to first game is going to
pick up and go with this game very easily. But even if your new to
Trials then it is a very simple control setup. You have gas and
brake, and you lean forward or backward to control whether or not you
land on your head or wheels.
This game also features a multi-player
option that I thought was going to be butched. But I was very happy
with it on the release. It's as fun as I hoped it would be. You race
side-by-side, 4-deep, on all the tracks that you've raced on and beat
in single player. It's a very entertaining way to get a few friends
online and really show them how to beat them with a double backflip
to endo finish.
Evo also features a slew of mini-games.
They have brought back the classics like riding on a death ball. But
have also spiced it up a bit by adding brand new mini-games like best
ramp or furthest kamikaze launch. Definitely a very addicting time
waster. Overall, I was very satisfied with this game, with the
addition of online and a broader outlook on single player. I loved
it.
I'm giving this game a 8.5 out of 10.

Trials HD
By B-Rad G.
Remember when you
were a kid and you had all your Hot Wheel cars? You would take your
books and make little ramps out of them. Take empty soda cans and see
how many you could jump over. Always leaving one at the end that you
knew you couldn't make just to see the demolition and mayhem. Trails
HD brings that child hood fun to your Xbox 360.
Trials HD is an XBLA
title that is not only driving but a puzzle-styled game. And puzzling
it is! It comes with close to 50 levels ranging from beginner to
extreme. There is also DLC that is out for it now, adding to the
massive amount of levels already in the game. Also, it has an array
of terribly fun and addicting mini games. They range from height and
long jump to staying inside or on top of a rolling metal sphere of
death. Greatly entertaining for a few hours or drunken nights with
friends.
For 800 points, this
is a very well put together and just outright, a good, fun game. With
hours of play-time (and DLC) this is a very good time waster or
drunken challenge game.
This game does have
it's downfalls though. With every level taking place in a huge
warehouse, there is very little scenery. The create-a-track mode is
very limited and difficult to make anything worth actually playing
on. Trails is only a single player which does not make it a good
choice for having friends over or a sibling. The only way to compare
yourself to friends is a dot at the top of your screen showing how
far ahead or behind them you are. There is a leaderboard for all
tracks and mini games that shows times and scores. So you can also
use that to rank yourself within your friends list.
Overall, I enjoyed
this game. I still play it anytime I'm thinking I'm more awesome than
last time and can finally make that seemingly impossible jump. It is
defiantly worth the 800 points you'll invest into it.
I'm giving it a 7.5
out of 10
Atleast try the
demo!
