Nano Doc
By: Thegreenback
Nano
Doc is a side scrolling shooter type game where the world has been
infected by a horrible mutating virus that kills loads of people with
out warning. As two scientists try a crazy idea to make a little robot
to find the virus in the patient and take it out to save them.
The main point of the game is that you are a tiny robot
going around in a persons bloodstream. You must take down loads of small
viruses as well as a big one that trys to take you out. But you are not
alone. Your makers keep you updated on enemies and how they might
attack you. You also are fully armed to stop them from killing the host
person.
The enemies are varied for each level increasing how hard they are
to kill and changing how they attack. In the beginning you start with
just a few virus cells that don’t move but shoot back at you. As you get
further some rush you with big groups trying to overwhelm you, or
spinning around in a circle spamming the screen with shots.
The shooting is different then most as you fight enemies
they show up in different colors. From red to blue to green and lastly
yellow. As you see them coming up, you hit the buttons on your
controller matching the same colors. Red is the B button and X is blue
etc. Making it more challenging to figure out what button to hit as the
enemies come faster or even in groups of every color. There are also
extra things that, if you get fast enough, help you along nicely. By
killing enemies, you get a chance to get a short bonus device. Such as
increased speed of your shots, shields and shooting all colors at the
same time to wipe out all enemies quickly. You can also absorb red blood
cells to make your health go back up. Or you can absorb white cells to
increase your shooting. You can also charge up cells or viruses into a
bomb where you let go destroying and hurting more enemies.
There are 20 different levels to fight through. As the
easiest is the first handful but the farther you get in the game the
more skilled you have to be. You also get money with the more kills you
get from destroying the viruses. And at the end of each level you spend
them on upgrading your equipment. Ranging to making you shoot more or
faster, have greater health and even extra lives.
At the end of each level there is a giant virus boss. And
each one has its own way of attacking you. Some of them spam your whole
view with their shots but doesn’t hurt much. As some others only do a
few shots but if it hits then takes a lot of your health in one go. As
you try and get there health bar down they also call reinforcements to
take you out.
The overall is: it’s a
fun game. Good use of changing enemies to keep you on your toes. As you
feel overwhelmed at times giving you that hard challenge. Can be a good
quick pick up game or sit down and try to beat all in one go. So for
just 80pts ($1) you should go and try it then buy it.
I
would give this 7.2 out of 10.

Sushi Castle
By: Thegreenback
Sushi Castle is a
Indie game where you play a ninja going deep into a castle who shoots his way
through enemies and bosses.
This is not a normal shooter game. You start off
with you looking at the castle then do a short cut scene and you’re then
playing in the game. Where you use the left analog stick to move around then
the right to shoot towards. With only just the two bumpers and right trigger
button to do extra stuff, the controls are very easy to get use to.
As you start out, you only have your trusted dragon
cannon gun, that shoots blue spheres, that help you proceed to the next area.
You can also find upgrades from entering a room with chests or take your
chances with items that you find. As one set of items you can hold in your
inventory slot can help you or harm you. Having a rice ball might make your
stats go up a lot but loose shooting or attack power with the same item. Giving
you that feeling of wanting to try it but not sure if you should. You also have
what look like onions that are used as bombs. Using them for enemies to do some
major damage or to taking out blocks to get and see what the chests have in
them.
Each room you go into is randomly chosen from a
decent amount of created room. It also seems you also get random enemies too.
From being nothing at all to more than eight at a time, overwhelming you. Each
enemy is different, some having to shoot them and knocking them to the ground
and having to finish them off or killing them and having them come back to
life. With such a variety of enemies you think you won't get used to handling
them and taking them out. As soon as you do, you meet a new enemy or they add a
few more of them and it become even harder. You can even try out what is kind
of a challenge room where you battle waves of enemies. Some being harder than
others but if you manage to take them all down you generally get an item that
will help you. Some could give you great attack power to kill with fewer hits,
or maybe even more health.
You also come across areas that you can buy stuff
with the coins that you found from enemies or chests. The shops seem to come
far and few between, so if you manage to find it, make sure to stop in and
check it out. With other areas that just wont let you leave till everything is
killed in that room giving you a challenge. But to cross deeper into the levels
of the game you must take on a boss at the end of each level to progress. They
are also randomly picked with a few words to you that are ever changing. Some
seeming odd and others just humorous. As they each have their own way of
attacking you and seeming to make sure you either just live or give you a run
for your money. But you also get a item that raises and heals some of your
hearts preparing you for what comes next on the new levels.
The overall is that it’s a very fun game. With
changing areas and even bosses you never know what is coming next. As even the
dialog is different for scenes making it more enjoyable. But you cant see all
the room or even the bosses on one total play though making it have
replay value. So if you want to be entertained and have a good time, try out
this game and buy it for just 80pts ($1)

Little Ninjas
By: Thegreenback
Is
an INDIE fighting game where you can pick and chose a variety of
characters for battle. You start out by picking what player you want to
be. Letting you change your name and choose what ninja you want to take
down your enemies with. As each ninja has their different stats some
being better with powers and speed. While others do more damage with
just normal attacks. Giving you a variety of ninjas you want to choose
from to fit your fighting style. It also means that you can go against
your opposite to see what one is better or check out their powers.
You
can level up by killing enemies or doing certain requirements that let
you gain experience. The powers you acquire are unique to your ninja.
Some making you invincible for just a few seconds. Others, doing massive
damage to your opponent. But if you die don’t worry you won’t lose any
levels just that the enemies will become stronger making it more
challenging. It also counts down to your next level of getting new
powers, and when you use them there is a cool down meter showing when
you can use it again, having some strategic value. It also makes you or
your enemies stronger with attacks and health. So if you are a level 15
and a level 2 is attacking you, you can take them out a lot more easily
than if your around the same level.
You can do a
lot of varied fights such as capture the flag where who killed the last
player with the flag is now the new owner and levels up with how long
they can hold it. Another is touching a sphere, and staying on it
longer, levels you up even faster. Or you can change it up and try to
take down waves of enemies as you try to survive it all.
The
main point of the game is to reach level 20 and when you reach it you
must take out all of the enemies that stand in your way. You can fight
just one on one with you VS an AI with just a click of a button. Also
available is having a massive battle with your friends on the same
console up to four people. Even if you don’t have anyone over you can
still have four helping or hurting with teams set up and changing how
hard they fight. From training to going onto hard mode.
The
overall is that it is a fun game you can just pick it up and go or stay
for hours honing your skills. You get a ninja that can jump around and
take down enemies and level up to get unique powers. With different
fighting arenas you can strategize how to take others out or just hit
them in the face. So for only 80pts ($1) go and try out the game and buy
it.

Curse Of Shadows
By: Thegreenback
Curse of shadows is a jumping puzzle
game where you are Suni, a thief, that has stolen an amulet with
magical powers. As a curse crosses the land making people lose their
shadows to a demon or spirit. As your gramps goes to try to lift the
curse from the people to be a hero. But after a while goes by, Suni
tries to go save her grandpa.
As you play the game you have a cool
thing that will help you out. Since you have the magical amulet you
have the power to shift into your shadow. But you can’t just shift
when ever you want. You must be in strong light from a lamp and if
you get out of the lamps light you will go back to the normal world.
Trying to sneak past the guard who will kill you on site.
Seeing the different worlds are unique
and you can just change with a quick push of a button. As you do
change from one realm to another each has its own set of rules. In
the light you see object as they are with all the colors. But in the
dark world you see things in black and white as you no longer can
see or be affected by the light world. You must jump on the shadow
that will progress you further to where you need to be. To get
across areas you need to use both light and dark realms to figure
out the puzzle. As you move across the area you see a pole with a
red scarf on it is your check point so if you die you will restart
there. While the end of a level will have a pole with fireworks.
Trying to get to help your grandpa is a
very treacherous journey. As you need to shift into the dark realm to
get away from the guards. Who have been told about you and will take
you down in a single blow. As well as the other beasts in the shadow
realm. As they go looking for things if they spot you best move
quickly or jump into the light realm to be safe.
The look of the game is very colorful.
It is a cartoonish style of look as it has cut scenes to tell you how
the story goes and get to know about Suni. As you play cities going
in the background or cherry blossoms falling down from the trees
gives it a nice feel to it. While also looking for collectibles
throughout the game.
Overall, the game is very challenging
with jumping at the right time to tricking guards to try and attack
you. The story is sweet and simple, telling you what is going on and
why things are happening. Also being able to jump back to any level
you want is nice with some secret things if you beat the game. It is
a very fun game where you can play a little bit if you want or try
and beat it all in one go. For just 80pts ($1) it is a good jumping
puzzle game so go try it out and buy it.

Mortal Legacies
By: Thegreenback
This is an Indie RPG game where you must save Elisia from a
terrible thing and talk to the king to help save the world. As you start out it
looks like a classic RPG with a story line of heroic proportions. Making your way
across the land to reach your life goal of becoming a hero.
As you go across the land each town or area has different
looks and the music changes with it. Getting a feel of what might be coming to
either harm you or help you. Seeing in various places of how they put details the game in general. Some being that you have a wall of swords and a furnace just gives
it that nice touch instead of a dude you just walk to and trade for stuff. You
also come across a varied amount of people that you can talk to. Some say
things that will make you laugh out loud and others can be serious. It makes
you want to talk to everyone you can just to see what they will say. Also with
items and gear will make you have a good chuckle with the descriptions.. You can also
buy or sell all your gear. With a meter to show how much you can buy of one item with all the
gold you have collected. And just a single push of a button you can see how
much you can carry for either all your gold or just some with how much it cost.
Making it nice to getting what you need and moving to your fights.
You have a varied amount of classes that help you on your
journey some being classic that you look for and love. While other can be
different but will make your party flow together nicely as they fit like a
puzzle. As you level up they each have different abilities to help their
quests. As each gets a leveling system too making them more powerful and
helpful for the battles to come.
The combat is turn based system randomly deciding who starts the
fight to get the edge thrown in it. As you use your abilities and strength to
take down your enemies that stand in the way of your quest. But it is a very
fast paced game even with the turned based combat. You level up nicely and not
grind for days just to see that one more level to perfection. And it doesn’t
feel boring with different monsters to fight and how much show up randomly as
you walk or run to your destination.
Overall the game is fun I picked it up and couldn’t stop
till I beat the game. You get very nice music and the lands look good with the
themes. Combat isn’t really repetitive with a good variety of abilities and how
you need to change your strategy to handle the battle. So for a game that cost
80 points ($1) it is well worth it and should try it out.

Saints Row
Saints Row is a game that is based off
of Grand Theft Auto but with a bit of differences. As you pick how
your character will look and dress with a lot of customization.
You start out in the streets and find
yourself asking to be part of the “Row” where they are a gang
that is ready to take on the other gangs in the city. As you get to
know your fellow members you will fight, shoot, race and kill any
other gang member that gets in your way. Either doing main missions
or just walking down the street and starting something.
As being part of an organization you
start from the bottom up. Every mission you gain more territory for
you gang with some story behind them. Or you gather up members and
try to take down a stronghold with waves of enemies or certain
requirements. Owning more of the city will mean you get less likely
to have other gangs try and take you out. Also easier to get your
members to join up for mission or strongholds. Going through missions
you learn more about your rival gangs with how you’re impacting
them or their struggles. Giving you the choice to take down one area
at a time or all at once.
To do a mission you have to earn
respect points to fill a bar. And when that bar is filled you get a
x1 sign or more. To get respect you can steal a car then hold another
person in the car for money as cops chase you around. Some others are
insurance fraud where you get cars to hit you and reach a money mark
to get some cash also. They have assassination missions to find a
person in the streets as you kill them with a required weapon, a
harder mission to do but a lot of money. Or you can just do some
racing and see if your car is fast enough for the prize. As most of
them are fun and can be original, with each success you get, it
becomes increasingly harder to finish. Leaving some seemingly
impossible or having an unattainable goal. You can also get some new
cloths to get more respect as some people will react to you
differently.
With each member of your gang they seem
to get random weapons from a knife to a shotgun. As you take down
either cops or other gangs they can walk over a pick up better
weapons to increase your chances of survival. But the AI for them is
really bad they get stuck on a plant. Some just don’t follow you at
all, others will run into a burning building and catch on fire. So
the game tries to balance it out and allows you to revive your fallen
comrades. If you get close to them just a push of a button and your
poor beer on their heads and back to shooting they go.
The city is a good size one. Not so big
that you get annoyed cause stuff is too far of a drive but not so
small that you see everything in a short trip. As some things look
like they have been copied and pasted. While others have their own
look as you roam around to see what is out there.
The game also has a lot of glitches
from hitting a wall and your car disappearing to trucks driving down
the road and just vanish in thin air. Some people will talk to you
and their mouths move but no sound comes out. A few others is your
car will explode off a single bullet or you kill someone but their
body will float in midair.
So the overall of the game is that it
has a decent variety of weapons. The story can get a little
compelling to see how things play out. Has a lot of glitches that
will annoy you or making you confused to how stuff happened. A lot of
customization to your character. A lot of missions to strongholds but
with the respect point system holding it back forcing you to do side
quest stuff but making the game last a lot longer. A good size
sandbox game.
So I would give it 5.8 out
of 10

There's An AppFor That!
This Week's App is.... Logo Quiz!
Logo Quiz is a free app from the App Store. It is simply a pop culture quiz on what else? Logo's! This is a very fun, addicting and usually frustrating game. Filled with hundreds of logo's spread across 8 different levels seemingly getting more difficult as the levels progress. Filled with every type of logo from very simple, easy to recognize, logo's. (i.e. Ninendo, Windows, Monster and Playstation) Going all the way up to some that you know you know what it is but just can't recall on the spot like the Miracle Network or for guys, Olay! With the levels never changing, it gives it very little replay value, but it will still keep you entertained and pissed off, all at the same time, for hours!

Aliens VS Predator
By: Thegreenback
Aliens VS Predator is a game mostly based off the movies
with how things work. As you get to play three different campaigns. Each
showing you bits of a major story of how things unfold and crossing over each
other.
The Aliens campaign involves you being born into captivity
as you are labeled number 6. As you break free you reek havoc to the scientist
that put you where you are. Trying to reach the hive as the queen tells you
what needs to be done.
The Predator campaign has you going to earth to stop the
Aliens from taking over the area and eventually the planet. As you kill humans
and Aliens alike to take them all out for messing with your ancient hunting
grounds.
The Human campaign involves you being a Marine as you are
labeled “Rookie”. Just trying to survive and kill the Aliens that have killed
the scientist to get back control of the base.
The combat of the game is varied with each different
campaign.
As an Alien you are very fast and can climb on about
anything. But you can either press a button every time to do so or do and auto
transition. In small areas you keep grabbing onto different walls that you
don’t want to so it gets annoying. Making the world a big playground as you stick to
the dark to hide from the Marines who shoot to kill you on site. So you have to
be sneaky while playing you can hiss to make enemies come closer to you then
take them down one at a time. Or try all at once but with much greater
difficulty. Or you can get them into a finish move where you do a short grab and
either kill them instantly or harvest them. Leaving you open for a bit even if
your getting shot you cant stop it and have a chance to die. As your health
naturally regenerates you don’t have to worry about looking for ways to heal,
just how to kill your prey. Messing around with the lighting to keep you
hidden, but still can be seen even if in dark areas tends to make some stealth
kills harder to do in areas.
Playing as the Predator you can turn on invisibility defense and
stay that way for the whole game. Making it work very well against Marines to
take them out and get a nice trophy for your collection. You can even pick a
spot on the ground and copy their words to make them go in that direction to
either take out or get past. As you get more into the story you come across
more of your weapons giving you a wider variety of killing your enemies. Most
of them are cool but you tend to stick just too just a few that you’re given or
wanting to get up close to take them out. You can also jump to places that give
you a better view point and move around in a faster way. Some times you can’t
get to place to jump on even if highlighted and leaves you wondering why that
was put in the first place. You also need to heal as you take damage making you
more tactical about your kills.
Into the Marine campaign you have a wide variety of weapons
that you can choose from as you progress into the game. From a standard pistol
to flamethrower to keep you living longer. As the game is very dark compared to
the other campaigns. You use flares to light up areas to see the Aliens shine
then shoot them down quickly. Also equipped with a flashlight and motion
tracker to give you a heads up to what is coming. Most of the time you are
surrounded by enemies just trying to survive making you feel very fragile and
at any moment you can be taken out. As you just stick to shooting almost
anything that moves you keep in contact with other Marines battling the same
enemies.
There is also and online capability where you can pick your
race and try to kill other players across the world. They even have odd games
like one becomes the hunter and others prey. Or you can do a four co-op game to
survive though waves of enemies and work as a team to make it out alive.
The overall is that you can play as different characters and
each has a story to tell. As you can just kill lots of enemies it can get
repetitive in some areas specially the quick kills only have a few to select
from. The combat is alright but not that great to you can kill about anything
with just button mashing. The graphics are ok but if you get to close to some
things you can see the glitches stand out.
So I would give this
game 5.1 out of 10

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
