    Crackdown Demo Finally Released!

    posted @ 1/27/2007 11:15:00 AM by Douceswild
    Are you excited? I’m excited! For those of you who haven’t been on Xbox Live Marketplace recently, you might want to jump on there. You won’t believe what’s up for grabs now.

    This past Tuesday, the demo for Crackdown was released on the marketplace and you know ya boy Douce was one of the first to jump on it. The 1gig demo took about twenty minutes to download. Now for someone who has been waiting almost a year to get a glimpse of that game, that was twenty minutes too long. After a couple of days on it, I’m ready to give my opinion on the demo.

    Once the game loads up, you’re treated to cell-shaded goodness. I have always been a fan of cell-shaded games. You’re given a choice of vehicles to take out into the massive city and fight crime with. I went with the sports car type police because that’s just how I roll. You’re given a few gang bosses and affiliates to take down throughout the demo, but it’s a timed demo, meaning that once time runs out then the demo restarts which kind of sucks.

    As you play, you’ll level stats that boost your strength and agility, which enables you to jump higher…I’m talking bionic-high and toss objects like vehicles at your enemies. You almost get a Spider-Man-esque feeling when jumping from rooftop to rooftop minus the wall crawling. The demo provides you with enhanced stat advancement that allows you to experience some of your character’s abilities earlier than you’ll be able to in the final release. The free-roaming environment is that of, of course Grand Theft Auto.

    The cons of the demo are few and far between. I found the aiming and targeting to be weird. Locking on to enemies is somewhat difficult and switching for one enemy to the next is not always accurate. This becomes obvious when you’re in a gunfight with about seven to ten gang members. I’m hoping this gets fixed in time for the final release of the game on February 20th.

    I’ll reserve my final review for the full game release. Keep checking the site for it around the end of February. Until then, give the demo a try. It’s free and free is always good in my book.

    2007's Most Wanted

    posted @ 1/02/2007 11:24:00 AM by Douceswild
    It’s a new year people! Resolutions have been made (and probably broken already). As far as the gaming industry is concerned, there will definitely be new and exciting things coming our way. What are you looking forward to the most?

    I’m sure a lot of people would name Halo 3 the most anticipated game of 2007. I’ve had mine reserved for the past month and will be standing outside of Gamestop if they have another midnight release. Even though I’m excited about that title, and can’t wait to put Master Chief back into the fight for mankind’s survival, it’s not at the top of my list.

    One of the games of 2007 that has me sitting at the edge of my seat is Mass Effect for the Xbox 360. It’s an action rpg from the developers of Jade Empire and Knights of the Old Republic, both of which are awesome games. In both "JE" and "KOTOR", as they’re called, a lot of the plot twists and the outcome of the game depend on the choices you make. Your decisions may also effect the way your party members feel about you and whether they choose to join you at all. The same concepts have been added into Mass Effect and amped up a bit. All of this plus unbelievable graphics is enough to make my mouth water.

    This year will undoubtedly bring new and exciting releases for all systems. What titles have you running to your local game store to place on reserve status? I’ll get the ball rolling since most of you are still probably recovering for your New Year’s celebration.

    (Some of the these titles are coming out on multiple systems but I’ve listed the system I plan on playing them on.)

    Mass Effect – Xbox 360
    Assassin’s Creed – Xbox 360
    World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade - PC
    Tabula Rasa – PC
    Halo 3 – Xbox 360
    Wii Play – Nintendo Wii
    Crackdown – Xbox 360
    Rogue Galaxy – PS2

    There’s plenty more but I’ll stop here because I have to go look for a second job to pay for the rest of the stuff that’s going to come out this year. I’ll turn the keyboard over to you. What’s your 2007’s Most Wanted?
