some more video game reviews

Ok I am finally going to talk about the three best demos I played: A World of Keflings , Warhammer 40k Space Marine , and Tetris Splash. First a world of Keflings, awesome you play as your xbox avatar as a giant in a world with little people called Keflings that you can task to gather resources to build them things like a house or a workshop or anything else, it kinda has the feeling of Minecraft in the constructions part but it seems like a mix of an rts and a open world building game, very, very fun. I spent about 40 minutes on the demo and had a great time with it 4.5 out of 5. Next is Tetris Splash and I really don’t need to say anything about it, it’s Tetris the classic block stacking game with an ocean twist 5 out of 5 you can’t go wrong with Tetris, ever. The best was saved for last Warhammer 40k wins all by itself, amazing universe, all previous installments such as in dawn of war and all its expansions and sequels are awesome. But the demo was awesome too. You are a super powerful space marine with a sword that is also a chainsaw cutting your way through waves and waves of pitiful green Orks but it isn’t all the same thing cause they throw Nobs in, which are the bigger bader and angrier orks and are harder to kill, to mix it up. My favorite part is the face that you regain health but executing stunned enemies just like in Duke Nukem Forever which is the best way I have ever seen to regain health. Health packs and hiding behind cover like a pansy to regain health are both for sissies, crushing enemies beneath your boots is the real way to regain health. This demo was great I am probably going to buy this game. 4.5 out of 5.

moar video game reviews

The next demo I … demoed was ben ten rise of hex, now I am a huge fan of the whole ben ten universe I think it is hilarious, artfully crafted, and well written. This game however was boring. Most of the time I really like games geared towards a younger audience because they don’t have as much violence and innuendo and usually have corny jokes which are my favorite type but this game is not worth the money, which I didn’t spend thank goodness. I would say that this would be a great game for a free internet site like miniclip or nitrome but not a pay arcade like the xbox arcade. It is a platforming side scrolling game where you can change between Ben's omnitrix forms and each form has a specific function to complete each sections of the level, for example swampfire can grow vines in certain places to reach higher levels and brainstorm can activate disabled power consoles. All in all of the ten minutes I played I give this game a three out of five.

A big sack of crap

Here is my next post in which I will talk about some pieces of garbage that defiled my xbox by just being there for a little while. Toy soldiers wow this game is really popular, but what a piece of crap I played it for the entire demo and it was boring and stupid. It is like an rts but not quite and extremely limited in what you can build. One of the main things that makes an rts fun the diversity of units you can build and field, or in a defense game, which this one is, the diversity of base defenses you get a few different turrets and one cannon and that’s it, totally lame. This game deserves to be free on a website then maybe it would be worth playing but definitely not worth 800 points on the arcade. The next absolute piece of garbage is deadliest warrior. Let me start on this one by saying I really like the show absolutely a masculine show about warriors death and mayhem, that being said it could be a 20 minute show for certain episodes and be ten times better. Anyway, the game, what a load of trash. The game is one of those two person fighter games that I am going to liken to street fighter and mortal kombat but just doing that slightly tarnishes the names of both due to the fact that the deadliest warrior game is so lame. In the game you chose one of the warriors used in the tv show and fight against another to see who is the deadliest warrior. The fight lasts two rounds but the characters have so little health that the rounds last only a few seconds making the whole fight not last long enough to be interesting. Needless to say I deleted this game demo as well as the toy soldiers one as soon as I finished the demos.

Video games again

Oh look, I’m typing words again. Hey I have been buying a lot of video games recently and I decided I would write about them instead of talking about them. Ok so first of all I have bought a whole bunch of games since February when I last wrote. In this first group I will talk about the most recent ones because they are fresh in my brains. I just played a group of demos for several recently released and a few old games. The list includes Warhammer 40k kill team, a world of Keflings, Warhammer 40k space marine, Ben Ten rise of hex, toy soldiers, deadliest warrior, and Tetris splash. Quite a list but considering I only spent about 2 hours on the whole thing it’s not too large. So Warhammer 40k kill team, I played this one right before heading to my chino valley workforce class, and wow what a great game. For me when it comes to games I usually focus on a good story and secondly on gameplay but in this game the story stands on the shoulders of the great games workshop franchise and the gameplay can be judged on its own. So the game works like this: you start with the choice of only two space marines with the option of four if you buy the full game. I chose the librarian first because I like swords and he had one. Then I went ahead through the first level and it was awesome. As the librarian character you have a bolter pistol and a sword and you basically press the x button when the enemies get close and use the right thumbstick to shoot your bolter in the direction you aim, with unlimited ammo of course. Simple, to the point, and a whole lot of fun. It was definitely fun to slice and shoot through the hordes of orks that try pitifully to stop your tireless advance in the name of the emperor. In the next post I will talk about some pieces of garbage that defiled my xbox by just being there for a little while.
