Call of Duty: Black Ops - Normal - 360

So there we go. Another year done with what I think is a record total for me of 37. On average 3 a month which isn't bad going.

Sly Cooper I really enjoyed. The first game on the remastered Sly Trilogy is a 3D PS2 era platform game that I'd never gotten around too. The Cel shaded graphics buffed for HD look rather good. I had some initial difficulty setting the game up because I always set the camera to inverse but in this case that was actually referring to the horizontal camera as there is no vertical camera. Setting that back to standard the game then lets you set any other actions that might require movement on the Y axis to inverse so there weren't any further hiccups.

The game is very solid. Reasonable plot. A nice selection of levels that stay far away from the usual platform cliches. The controls are great. The stealth sections (obviously Sly is a thief although he is trying to steal back his own families property so I guess that makes it ok) are very well handled with clear indications as to when you can use a stealth moves and when you'll be spotted.

Another nice touch is that the game scales a little for difficulty. Retry a section too many times and you'll get a silver lucky horseshoe that'll let you carry on without losing a life or being sent back to a checkpoint, die to many times and you'll get a bonus extra life. Retry again and you'll get a gold lucky horseshoe that lets you carry on twice.

There's also a nice selection of mini games that break up the platforming action and absolutely no hub worlds too dilute from it either. In fact I ended up liking it so much I went back through a couple of levels to find all the collectables to unlock the special moves and earn all the trophies including my first Platinum.

Call of Duty:Black Ops is very much modern *ahem* warfare by numbers. There's a lot of hand holding, A lot of things that make you feel like you're doing a lot of stuff but actually boil down to very simple button presses and there's some great firefights. The plot sends you back on forth through cold war eras and there's quite a nice mix between on the fly under cover type stuff and the more familiar warfare.. It just about does enough to be enjoyable.

The Mulitplayer on CoD I've never really gotten into but this I really enjoyed, so much so that I ranked up 38 levels during a four day stint over my christmas holiday. It's a got a nice selection of maps and with the new CoD points with which you unlock guns and perks a much clearer (To my mind anyway) upgrade path. Most importantly Killstreak kills don't count towards further Killstreaks so things generally feel much fairer. Overall a generous package when you count in the Cod Arcade and Zombie mode.

The "Complete" List

Firstly apologies for the lack of updates, It hasn't been for lack of either game playing or buying them. Some how I've managed to not complete much recently.

Anyhow I recently completed Professor Layton & The Lost Future. The third sequel in the popular franchise. So what's changed? The most important feature is a new super hint that pretty much always saves you from being too stuck or having to check a FAQ by giving you a more obvious hint to a particular puzzles solution.

Otherwise we have the same high production values, the same cute characters and relationships, An increasingly bonkers plot (not just bonkers for the series but bonkers as it goes along), A slightly more worrying relationship between The Prof and Luke and, if we're really honest, a feeling that some of the puzzles are rehashed, some are plain bizarre and some just aren't that good.

Still there's nothing more satisfying than a puzzle solved.

Comment

In my world you're only good as you're last sale. In American TV you're only as good as you're last episodes ratings.. In games it's not much different. Still it's a sad day when Bizarre Creations are canned after lacklustre sales and reviewer reception of James Bond: Bloodstone

Of course the writing was kind of on the wall when Blur bombed at retail despite me having a lot of love for it.

It's difficult to pin down where it all went wrong. Leaving Microsoft? Diminishing returns with the Project Gotham franchise.. Or was it even The Club?

Personally I despair a little for my fellow gamers when Activision can have the biggest opening day of sales with Call of Duty: Black Ops and yet people wont buy something as intensely good online as Blur.

Of course as Michael Jackson once sang I should probably start with the man in the mirror. I had sworn to buy James Bond:Bloodstone to support my favourite developer but a combination of New Vegas and poor length of the campaign put me off.. so I guess I should've supported them. I did buy Blur on launch and it's still my go to game for some knock about online fun.

A sad day,

Purchase Power: Quarter IV 2010

A combination of a huge amount of time being spent on Fallout: New Vegas (over 40 hours so far fact fans) and perhaps one or two big titles being out slightly earlier than normal has meant that there hasn't been such a glut of huge games coming out this time of year as normal.

Having said that we are starring down the barrel of the christmas now. I've decided to give CoD: Black Ops a miss for the moment. I don't enjoy the multiplayer component of it so much and so for that reason I'll see if it gets any cheaper. Fable III is also going to have to wait a bit. I'll definitely pick it up at some point but again it'll need to be cheaper.

So where does that leave us? Gran Turismo 5 will finally launch this month after the mammoth wait and seeing as my PS3 only gets used for these kind of genuinely exciting PS3 exclusives I expect I'll be picking it up.

Otherwise I've narrowed it down to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. I really enjoyed the second game and as this is a direct sequel I'm looking forward to more of the same and seeing how the story of Ezio pans out.

That just leaves Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit on pre-order. I have utmost faith in Criterions ability to deliver a fun action packed racer. I'm also intrigued by the Autolog feature that brings to the forefront was has in the past been the secret pleasure of online friends list leaderboards.

Currently Playing: Fallout - New Vegas.

Fresh from completing Enslaved on Normal difficulty and with a new found wealth of RPG experience I decided to man up and play this on Normal difficulty (rather than the easy mode that I seem to remember completing Fallout 3 on).

Suffice to say it's making for a far more challenging experience. I'm going through stimpacks like water. I've managed to get full on near death radiation sickness twice (Don't think I ever got it bad enough to warrant visiting a doctor in 3.) and weapons and armour break like they're sponsored by Primark.

Part of this might be due to it being simply a more hardcore game not just the difficulty. Also this time I've focused my levelling up on Speech, Lock Picking and Stealth rather than just full on attacking skills as before. I got fed up with not being able to open doors or unlock speech options during the campaign on Fallout 3.

Still despite the game's engine starting to creak a bit these games are all about the atmosphere and in this respect New Vegas delivers in spades. It's nice to be wandering the wastelands again.

The "Complete" List

The eagle eyed Blog reader will notice that I completed this on Normal difficulty. A step up from my normal level of challenge to be sure. Regular readers will also remember that I pretty much hated the demo.

It's like Ninja Theory decided to make a game just for me. Yes it's a bit slow to get going but once it does get going it's really good. It helps of course that it's a very pretty game. Obviously the all star input in acting and script writing helps draw you in. Then the solid action kicks in. The combat is solid and chunky and doesn't require the memory of a million strings of combos but it isn't button mashy either.

The platforming is reminiscent of the Prince of Persia reboot, Anything that Monkey can jump too is highlighted so there's not much in the way of frustration. Your AI companion Trip soon stops being annoying and the relationship between the too is genuinely interesting.

For me there's definite hints of Jak & Daxter too and seeing as that's my favourite 3D platformer of all time that's got to be a good thing.

I even enjoyed the frankly bizarre final, gameplay free, chapter. Looking forward to the sequel.

The "Complete" List

Who'd of thought making a sequel to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time would be so hard? The two direct sequels lost their way chasing market share and the recent reboot was a tad disappointing too.

So here we have a direct sequel that follows on directly. So no more Nolan North and no more Emo prince either. In fact so hard do Ubisoft try to evoke the feeling of the original game that the presentation and menus are almost identical.

Sadly the game falls some way short. On the plus side the combat is the best ever in a PoP game. Following in the footsteps of Batman:AA hordes of enemies attack at once and you can slash, kick and vault over them with acrobatic ease dealing out death and context sensitive finishing moves. A range of powers can be unlocked but don't add much.

I don't really remember the end of SoT but apparently the Prince must have lost the Dagger that provided his time based powers because here a new amulet allows him to rewind time. It no longer allows him to slow down time though so that particularly pleasing element is gone. In it's place he has the power to freeze and unfreeze water. While this allows for some challenging platforming later in the game it's not quite as good.

What really let's the game down though is the level design. It all looks very nice but there's nothing that's particularly challenging or as huge or multi-teared. You enter a room the camera pans around and it's always fairly obvious where to go. There's nothing that takes the breath away or stumps you for very long. It's very linear. Also gone are the flashbacks that hinted at what needed to be done and where far superior to the camera pan.

Having said that the game is a joy to play. The controls do a reasonable job of making everything work. There's a lot less hand holding than the reboot and you do feel like you're pulling off all the cool moves yourself. At the sametimes it's been streamlined just enough that you can pull off long sections of platforming without having to stop every few moves to readjust the camera (which is also very good most of the time).

Overall I enjoyed it then but it doesn't come anywhere close to scaling the heights of the original.

What can I say about Mafia II. It's certainly better than the 4 it scored at Eurogamer. Hot off the heels of enjoying Season One of The Sopranos I was looking forward to living the life of a Mafioso.

A lot has been said about the lack of side missions, collectables and things to do outside of the main story. Personally I didn't mind the linearity of it. The story is well told with a very high level of presentation maintained throughout the cutscenes and conversations.

The problem is there's only 15 story missions and while the best of them are very good a lot of them are forgettable and dull. There's a bit set in prison where all you do is walk about and have a few fist fights. A missed opportunity. The mission that was in all the previews prelaunch where you have to set a bomb in a hotel posing as window cleaners is a high point but it's also a high water mark. Nothing comes close to scaling it's heights again. Which is shame.

Much like PoP:TFS I enjoyed what was there but felt that it could've been so much more.

DLC round up.

First up was Quantum Theory on 360. A sort of poor mans Gears of War but with the usual bonkers Japanese slant. I kind of enjoyed it and it's on my 'bargain bin' list despite a terrible review from EDGE

Next up was Enslaved:Odyssy To The West. Frankly I find just the thought of Andy Serkis annoying and I still have bitter memories of Heavenly Sword where initial delight turned into hating the boss battles. Still it's a very odd level to pick for a demo. Basically Chapter One of the full game it does the basics of tutoring you in how to play the game but is completely linear for the first half. When I say linear I mean it's an actual straight passage. Not inspiring. It's not without potential but I failed to see the Uncharted 2 comparison OPM where bandying about.

Regular readers may remember that Top Gun is my favourite film ever so naturally I was excited about the PSN Top Gun game. Especially as the films script writer was on board. While accessing PSN I thought I may as well download my free DLC to Heavy Rain.

This resulted in abysmal service from PSN. My PS3 was switched on for hours over a course of three days as it struggled with the basics of downloading things. It was slow when it was working and then for reasons unknown it would end up waiting.. for what I never found out. Considering the slick, smooth service from XBL on the same internet service I'll never understand it.

As for the results? Top Gun was very underwhelming and I felt a bit ripped off with the Heavy Rain: Chronicles. There are several endings but basically only one real location, not much to do (apart from open empty cupboards) and it really showed up the limitations of the format.

Much better was the half price offer of The Passing. A new campaign level for Left 4 Dead 2. A decent slab of content and of course shot gunning zombies with mates is always entertaining. Having not played the first game meeting the original survivors didn't mean much, and as yet I haven't finished it but it's everything you'd want from DLC, More of what you enjoyed, a decent length and a cut price. Oh and it downloaded the day it started which is always a bonus.

The "Complete" List

A happy coincidence of the holiday arrangements at work meant that I ended up taking the week off of release. I got stuck straight into the solo campaign on Normal and I really enjoyed it. For me it's the best ever Halo campaign. It's free of The Flood, annoying repetative levels and the kind of gimmicks that brought down Halo 2 and ODST (a second playable character and the city levels respecively).

It's also the first one that really gets the most out of the 360 with great draw distance and some stunning levels and architecture. There's also a lot of variety to the levels and action too (I wont say any more on this for fear of spoilers).

As you'd expect the Multiplayer provides a great slab of entertainment. Subtly rebalanced weapons wise there's a reasonable selection of levels out of the box and the selection of power ups is nice. As is the way post Modern Warfare nearly everything you do gives you XP for ranking, which is nice, and customisation of your Spartan which is frankly pointless.

I then made a stab at completing it on Heroic. I really had to up my game for this. It's brutally hard. Not helped by some unforgiving checkpoints. There was a couple of points where I had to put the pad down, have a deep breath, a smoke a drink and a ponder and come back to it. I do feel though it helped my improve my skills in general and there's been a marked improvement in my multiplayer skills. At least I think so.

I also had a great time completing the campaign in co-op on Legendary with Lee and Geoff. The advantage here is that as long as one person stays alive you're not sent back to the last checkpoint when you die which makes progress a lot less frustrating.

Overall a great campaign and a generous package. A fine last Halo Hurrah from Bungie.

Purchase Power Update

Here's a bit of a round up of my recent acquisitions.

First up I swapped Wolfenstien for Nier with a member of one of my regular forums. It turned up in very good condition and as I'd only paid £10 for Wolfenstien it was probably a fair trade.

Obviously Halo: Reach was a must. I got it in HMV for £40 with the usual 800 free MS points which seemed the best deal in the choice of two shops here on the day.

I ordered F1 2010 from shopto.net at the bargain price of £32 but apparently they now only give free recorded delivery with pre-orders (Which is the only way to guarantee that something will arrive next day here and even then it's not foolproof) so I paid £6 for next day courier delivery. It arrived on the thursday and was still £2 than in the shops here. Not a bargain for sure but I was very excited about getting it.

I found Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands brand new for £12 in HMV and that seemed like a must have. It's obviously been heavily discounted fairly quickly as there was a succession of reduction stickers underneath the latest offer.

The "Complete" List

As regular readers will remember I started off really hating this.. This summer has been quite a dry spell (happily coming to an end now) and so I decided to give this another chance. Installed to my HDD seemed to make quite a difference and it ran and loaded a lot quicker which made for a smoother experience.

Started with The Ballad of Gay Tony which I ended up really enjoying. The cutscenes where laugh out loud funny. The missions turned out to be action packed. It was perhaps a little bit limited by being DLC. I didn't enjoy The Lost & The Damned quite as much. It wasn't quite so over the top.

I did like how both stories interwove with GTA IV although it did seem an excuse for R* to reuse a lot of teh assets from the first game. All in all though a great package. Liberty CIty is always great to visit and it's a shame that R* haven't released more episodes.

The "Complete" List

Beat the Tiger Challenges, Won all four Majors and Won the Fed Ex cup.

I'd been watching the Open at St. Andrews and decided it might be nice to play a round on the course myself. Apparently I must have traded 09 and I wasn't going to bother going up in the loft to find 07 which meant it would have to be 08 which I didn't really like at the time.

Of course St. Andrews needed unlocking which meant starting the Tiger Challenge, Once the addictive nature of levelling up my avatar had kicked in I was drawn to complete the career mode too.

A couple of complaints. The Live servers have been switched off so there was no chance of earning all those achievements and I don't have a 360 Camera thingy so there was no chance of getting those achievements either.

Not Currently Playing: Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

It happens fairly regularly in this hobby of ours. You've been watching a big title for months, reading previews and such like (I subscribe to OPM and EDGE. Read 360 when ever they feature one of my musings in their magazine and follow a variety of websites on a daily basis) and then the reviews drop and it's inevitably a disappointment.. but there's always the thought in the back of your mind that after all that potential can it really be that bad?

I came across a copy of Kane & Lynch: Dead Men for £3 minus cover and green box but complete with manual and disc so how bad can it really be?

Well the answer has to be fairly bad. It's core shooting mechanic isn't that great. You often feel like you can't shoot guys until the game wants you to even if you've got them plumb in your sights. They hide in cover too with bits sticking out but you can't hit them and then to make matters worse they switch through 180 degrees when you line up a shot. The cover system doesn't work too well and it's just generally frustrating.

To make matters worse you can see the potential the game has. The characters are interesting and about a third of the way in (after a dreadful nightclub mission) it turns into a kind of Michael Mann style caper heist that despite the aforementioned complaints is still enjoyable. Despite the lack of online co-op.

And then? Then it all goes horribly wrong with a mission that makes you wonder whether it was ever play tested. I got so frustrated with it I removed the disc from the machine and snapped it in half and threw it in the bin never to darken my console again. It seemed better than braking anything that cost me more than £3.

The "Complete" List

Despite being almost as old as gaming itself I missed out on the birth of the first person shooter so Wolfenstein holds no special affection in my gaming history.

I spotted it for £10 brand new in GAME and figured it had to be worth a punt at that. There's hints of Halo ODST in the open world hub level and FEAR and, bizzarely, Prince of Persia: SoT in the time manipulation powers that unlock soon into the game. But mostly it's refreshingly old school.

For a start you can carry as many weapons as there are. Which is nice. Levels have a pleasing flow to them with enemies being seen off for good (none of this Modern Warfare respawning nonsense) and whilst it's not a particularly long game it doesn't outstay it's welcome.

There's a few simple puzzles but mostly it's a question of blowing a bizzare selection of Nazi's back to hell. It took me about 8 hours to complete and my only complaints would be that the achievements are very multiplayer focused (which I always think of as rather cheap way to generate interest) and sometimes it can be a bit fussy about lining up with switches. Other than that a solid game.

The "Complete" LIst

Limbo should be approached with as little prior information as possible for the best experience so this will be a very short post. It plays like a dream (almost literally) and is a stunning experience. Go download now.

Tuesday, 10 August 2010

The "Complete" List

Another one of those titles that showed intial promise that didn't review well enough for a full price purchase that I've picked up cheap to fill the summer void. £10 brand new in game.

Presumably no developer sets out to make an average game. One assumes it comes down to budget or time constraints or possibly both. Not everyone has Polyphony Digitals unlimited time and seemingly budget to reach for perfection.

Here things start off really well. There's a definite whiff of Uncharted, Not just because Nolan North voices our hero but also the jungle based opening levels and the cover based gunplay. There's also a similar 50s adventure serial feel to it. Especially when the rocket pack gets introduced a couple of levels in.

There's a mission soon after where your flying through the sky, landing on giant structures, fighting through them to destroy them from the inside out and then flying away on a wing and prayer and you think this could be a really great game.

However the aforementioned time and budjet constraints conspire to spoil it. The rest of the areas are fairly small and so you end up flying through very small areas fighting the same ships over and over again. Then before you know it the games pretty much over.

Fun while it lasts, looks nice enough, lots of potential but, much like my school reports, should of tried harder.

Currently Playing: SIlent Hill: Homecoming

Regular readers might remember that I played through Silent Hill 2 and 3 in preparation last year for this. A slew of average reviews and I decided to wait until it was cheap. Spotted it in HMV for £15 and picked it up.

It certainly just as horrifying as it's classic predecessors but perhaps not for all the right reasons. For a kick off there's no option to adjust the camera. Which means if, like me, you like to have the Y axis inverted you're going to spend a lot of time looking at the floor. Secondly there's no autosave. Which means you're back to wandering around looking for saves spots and a large chunk of replaying if you happen to die.

Oh and it's hard. Properly hard. I played the previous games on Easy. There's no easy option here and even on the default difficulty items are scarce on the ground. There's very few health packs and not a lot of ammo. Oh and there's monsters.. lots and lots of monsters.. it's not rare to stumble across five vicious nurses in a pack. Which means a lot of combos and lots of dodging.. which for someone whose timing is as bad as mine means a lot of dying.

I've just had to replay about three hours of game (thankfully a keep five saves on the go but I had to go back to the earliest one to get to a point where I hadn't already wanked away all my health and ammo) because I arrived at a Boss battle with half my health and no health items and no ammo. I'd just played through about an hours worth of game without a pick up in sight.. Oh and then I had to sit through an unskippable conversation before I could have another bash.. Enough for one day.

The "Complete" List

Expectations weren't too high for this. Average review scores combined with my own experience of Pandemics last effort and the fact that poor sales meant that EA closed studio weren't a good indicator.

However I have to say it's the most enjoyable game I've played all year. War torn Paris is a great location. The Nazi oppressed city is portrayed in stark black and white with huge swathes of Nazi Red flags and uniforms combined with splashes of resistance blue make it eye catching and it's really well designed. From the city itself to the rural out skirts and coastal villages make it an interesting place to explore.

The core aspects of shooting, movement and driving are rock solid. Compared to the cluster fuck that was running, shooting and cover in GTA IV the saboteur himself (Sean Devlin for that is his name) is a joy to control. The selection of weapons is meaty and most of them have a use (although I quickly settled on my favourites). The driving is also brilliant. Pandemic understand that we want to feel like we're driving on the edge of control without the frustration of actually being out of control. Theres plenty of satisfying tyre screech as you handbrake around corners without ever feeling like you're fighting the cars. They also have a lovely authentic look to them.

There's plenty to do as well. One of the nice things about the freeplay targets is that it actually helps out in the main body of the story, Take down some of the tanks and sniper towers and your escape will be easier. The story itself doesn't really get going until about half way through when the missions get much much better in both size and scope and whilst the story is a little on the short side (I spent just over 12 hours clocking it) I went on to spend nearly the same amount of time again in freeplay.

It's also chock full of humour, both intentional and not so intentional. Sean's accent is a bit none more Oirish but it works in the frame work of the game. He has so many saying that I was still hearing him exclaim new things right up to the end.

Probably the most fun I've had with a sandbox game since GTA III.

Unboxing the 360 Slim

So I got my new X-Box 250Gb Slim home yesterday. To be honest it's still quite a heavy wee beasty in the box. Thanks to the staff at GAME for giving me a bag so big I could've carried the store home!

First thing of note. The box is much nicer to open and closes properly after you've taken everything out. I really hated the stupid flappy design of the last one.

It's actually not that much smaller. The PSU is smaller but probably just as thick. Other than that it looks nice. The shiny black effect isn't quite up to the quality of my original PS3 but it's nice enough.

Having plugged it all in I was able to use the transfer cable to copy all my saves and games across to the new machine from my old 20Gb HDD (Big shout out to Geoff who made this possible!) and it was soon up and running.. One problem here was that the new on off switch is so touch sensitive I managed to turn the 360 off by accident whilst plugging in a USB device (in this case said transfer lead) which could be annoying if you lost game progress whilst trying to plug a second controller in.. but I can't see it cropping up to often.

I was soon up and running and wirelessly connected to my new (Stylishly Black) Netgear Router. I tested Blur and Forza 3 and had absolutely no problems at all. No noticeable lag or lack of performance compared to the wired connection of my old 360.

Talking of which, if you'd asked me yesterday morning, if my old 360 was noisey I'd of said that when I have the TV on at a reasonable volume and my hi-fi playing I can barely hear it. Turns out I'd of been wrong and I'd of just gotten used to the background hum. Even running a game off the DVD drive the new console is spookily quiet.. so quiet in fact that it's a bit un-nerving. I even ended up turning the TV way down. The PS3, even sat idle on the XMB, sounds noisey in comparison and I'd of sworn that ran silently before.

My only other complaint would be that the disc drive tray itself is still a bit cheap although this is offset by the lovely touch sensitive eject button and the wee noise it makes to let you know it's working.

Having ran it all night I noticed that the left hand vent on the console (the side that's next to my Sky+ Box (also black fact fans!) was very cool. Possible cooler than ambient temperature. The vents in the top and the right where running quite hot. I guess that means it's cooling itself very effectively? Although I do worry that the huge vents in the top will let a lot of dust in and that could be a console killer too. Only time will tell.

Overall I'm very happy with the new machine.
