[Prototype] Review

Written by our new writer, PooAlOvaUrDream (or just Brian for short), here is his Review for [Prototype] by Activision. *Round of applause*

Of the games coming out this summer that I’d like to focus on is, [Prototype]. It’s hard to describe this game, it takes so many features from so many games and combines them all together to make a wonderful experience that, at the VERY least, deserves a rent. If I had to describe, it I’d put it as a brilliant mix between Xmen Origins: Wolverine and Spiderman 2 (without the silly webs) and the result is insanely fun. What the game lacks in graphics and multiplayer, it makes up for with the sheer excitement the game brings, whether it’s hacking giant mobs to bits (oh you can’t do that in your fancy InFamous can you Mr.Ps3) or messing with the parkour and exploring the city, the game never disappoints. One of my favorite things about the game, is the deep story, the game really gives you the feeling that you’re part of the story and that you fit into the character; Alex Mercer. The game is short and that may mean a rent for some, but if you’re like me you’ll be playing this game long after it’s over. [Prototype] gets a *dramatic pause* 8.5 out of 10.

Milo

Milo is a new, so called "mini-game" that is being developed by the critically acclaimed, Lionhead Studios for the motion sensing, "Project Natal" *Flashy music plays in background*. All this is, is your little e-friend who you can talk and interact with. Milo is the little boy's name. You talk with Milo and "explore his world" (petophile's dream, is it not?). Well joking aside, this could very well be a new step into gaming and technology. Bravo Mr. Peter Molyneux, Bravo.

XBLA Mini Review

I recently got a 4000ms point card (big mistake) and with it I bought a few games, one of which is Flock. Basically Flock is a want-to-be physics based puzzle game. The whole premise of the game is to use your little UFO to flock sheep, chickens, cattle, ect. into the bigger UFO, why they're doing this? I don't know. Early on in the game all you have is your little UFO to scare animals into the big UFO. Later on you get things like a speed boost, a tractor beam, and a de-tractor beam?. The physics are pretty over the top, if you try to pick up a sheep, they explode. And also sometimes the animals get stuck behind trees or fall off the map. The difficulty ramps up as you move along, so it may require you to think. There is a co-op mode, which is kinda fun if you have a partner that you can rely on. Also, the art style is really well detailed and vivid with colors. Flock is a good time waster if you have only 15 or so minutes, but dont expect much. The price point is a bit high at 15 dollors or 1200ms points. But, if youre into puzzle games this is a good buy. Flock gets a 9.0 out of 10.

Project: Natal

Project Natal is the new motion sensing interaction camera. What Natal does is sees what you do and does things according to your body movement. For instance; In the NXE dashboard, there are panels, if you wipe your hand to the side, like you are wiping something (Duh) the panels will move according to where you moved your hands. I move my hand left, the panel moves left. There will also be a set of games the will use Natal's functionality, such as Milo. That's basically all the information that we have right now. Here is a video for a visual image.

E3 Never Happened...

Since we were caught up in other things, and not paying attention, we were a little late to reporting on E3, and it's too late to do it now because there is just soo much stuff thats coming out. So, because of that we are just going to pretend that E3 never actually happened, we will just report on some really cool things that just so happened to come out of a period of a couple days. So if you're reading this, thanks for sticking with us, we'll have the big news for you sooner or later.
