The Benefits Of Offline Gaming

We all know that online gaming can be fun right? Well have you ever tried turning you wireless off for one day?  Try it, its amazing what you can accomplish. You could get those last few achievements in the main story mode, or actually start the main story mode. No matter what you opinion is of offline it’s always fun to try to get into.

The first time I tried this I shot my gamer score up almost two thousand points just starting/finishing story modes. Now I do it once a month and my gamer score is huge (29250 to be exact). Sure there are down sides to it like not talking to online friends or having the completive edge constantly (witch could even be a upside). But I believe me it is totally worth it once a month, or even once every year.

The best game for playing off line would have to be ones with a huge indebt storyline; these kinds of games often have a longer play time and still when you’re done the story line there still more to do (i.e.: side missions) . I found that this is also stress releasing.

Picture it you almost have a nuke in MW2 and them KA BOOOM, noob tube to the face. Your going to be angry and if you aren’t then you are just that awesome. But you end shutting off your game and not playing, when you return on line you’re pissed at the game so you don’t play it and you play some Red Dead Redemption instead. It’s an unlikely event but it does happen. Try it and you will feel a bit or a lot relaxed and calmed.

Good Games For Offline Play

-Bioshock
-Bioshock 2
-GTA 4
-The Balled of Gay Tony (Stories from Liberty City, or add on)
-The Lost and Damned (see above)
-Red Dead Redemption
-Fable 2
-Dead Rising
-Banjo Kazooie
-The Orange Box
-Assassins Creed
-Assassins Creed 2
-Borderlands (not the greatest but its still decent)
-Music, sports ,racing and fighting games are good too.

Titan Quest Game Review By James

 Titan Quest and its expansion Titan Quest: Immortal Throne has been around for awhile. But both games are very fun RPG games I would gladly recommend to any gamer whether they have played and RPG before or not. The game controls are easy to pick up and learn. The shortcut keys are set up in very logical places (ex. M=map, C=character). As well as the story is very deep and rich. The combat system is good and the graphics are good as well. All in all I think it is a defiant pick up for any gamer that is either already a die hard RPG fan or someone just getting their first RPG.

Overall-10/10
Graphics-9.5/10
Controls-10/10
Replayability-8/10
Multiplayer-N/A

Sin and Punishment 2: Star Successor Wii Review

Sin and Punishment 2:Star Successor is a successful on-rail shooter exclusively on the Wii which takes advantage of the Wii controls. Star Successor may not be very beautiful to behold without the high HDMI graphics, but the great gameplay and awesome bosses will keep you coming back for more. There are a few flaws which will accumulate when playing which may frustrate you and tempt you to rage out, but not minding the details, Sin and Punishment 2 can give you an experience like no other shooter on the wii to date!

For those who may just pick this game just because it looks fun and unique (like I did), and never played any previous installment will miss the origin of the story. There isn't much of it, and it is nothing special and overall short, but offers quite a good deal of replay value. The game stars two young kids; Isa and Kachi, in their escape from the 'creators'. The plot tells their story in their futile escape, and the story isn't very predictable but there aren't many twists in the plot. The game is short as well, divided in lengthy stages full of enemies and many, many bosses.

Sin and Punishment 2 is a third-person, on-rail shooter which is perfect for the Wii. The controls are so good that you don't even require the Wii Zapper to play properly. Over time using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk can become annoying since you have to constantly point to the Wii Remote to the screen and move in air. Like an arcade on-rail shooter, and yet sadly enough you won't be moving your character and progress at your own pace. The game moves on as you eliminate the target in the area or just moves towards the boss kinda like (House Of The Dead Or Time Crisis) but there are a ton of unique and awesome bosses to fight which are always fun to play against. Some bosses are a bit infuriating, since they may require more skill to eliminate, but Sin and Punishment 2 is rarely difficult to the boiling point.

The shooting is really fun overall. The bosses are awesome and huge most of the time. The dodging is so frequent that is become annoying after a while. Some bosses will need your constant attention to dodge their attacks and counter. There are some parts that you're in  2D, meaning that you will be shooting in a 2D environment, left and right, and not forward. This kind of areas will restrict how much you can move and the direction of your shooting, and are fairly tougher than normal stages.

The stages are all different, and the enemies rarely are the same, making Sin and Punishment 2 quite varied in this area. Unfortunately you won't earn any new powers or anything.

The graphics don't steal the show, but overall good by wii standards. The slightly ugly and unrealistic character models could have been made better, and some of the backgrounds are generic and lack the finishing touch, there is no doubt that the game looks good for Wii technology. The cutscenes aren't special either, keeping the same amount of production values.

On a personal note,I found this game to be a great follow up from the original on N64 just saying if you have the extra cash or points try the 1st its a classic and still captivates a small part of my heart till this very day.

Positive
- Superb control scheme lets you use the Wii Remote besides the Wii Zapper
- Great and addictive shooting, with a lot of replay value
- Huge, unique bosses, and there is a lot of them

Negative
- Slightly dated graphics and character models (Bring On The HDMI Lol)
- Too much dodging can ruin the fun for anyone

Graphics = 7/10
Sound = 8/10
Presentation = 8/10
Gameplay = 9/10
Story = 7/10

OVERALL = 8/10
This third-person, on-rail shooter will give something you may have never experienced before.

Classic Vault Review (Double Dragons 2-The Revenge On NES)

This game is fantastic, it took everything I love about the 1st double dragons game and, amplified it they added some good challenge, a couple new characters and upped the graphics. Its a simultaneous cooperative beat-em up / brawling game where you can play as either Billy and Jimmy Lee as they take on wave after wave of gang members. The two use their fists, feet, spinning tornado kicks and weapons like whips, barrels, bats, grenades and knives. You start with all of the moves unlike the original game where you had to progress further and unlock them for use!

Another thing that makes the game amazing for its time is the differing areas. The first place is a construction site that turns from 3D area to a 2D side scroller as you climb the building. That way you cannot dodge bad guys as easily. The second level is completely 2D, the third level takes place in a helicopter as enemies and sometimes you get sucked out the door and die. The forth level is a dangerous and challenging 2D fortress. I won't mention any of the other levels (due to spoilers), but each level brings out more fun and challenge to this great game.

Its a great game to play with a friend with 2 player mode A where you can't hurt one another and its even more challenging with 2 player mode B where the players can injure each other. This game is a classic and either the #1 or #2 game of the franchise. Probably one of the top 3 beat-em ups for the NES in general in my personal opinion i myself still own a copy to this very day and find the game to still be fun to go back on and reminisce about the old days when all that mattered was gaming i hope someday Nintendeo Will take the Wii back to its roots and make some of these classics retro!

Classic Rating 7.5/10

Prince Of Persia:The Forgotten Sands Review

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time had to be one of my favorite games from the previous generation, and got me very much hooked on the franchise. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Warrior Within but The Two Thrones was a return to total greatness and the first PS3 iteration, Prince of Persia, represented a departure from the norm…but a damn good departure. Now, Ubisoft returns to the Sands of Time format with this new sequel and any fan of the series will immediately recognize the style, presentation and gameplay. But in fact, it’s so much like Sands of Time, it actually feels a little out dated. There are a few small technical glitches and overall, the game is plenty entertaining, but that’s not the overriding issue. Thing is, after playing through the majority of the game, it has become painfully obvious that Prince’s biggest downfall is the enduring sensation of blandness. It’s bizarre: the game really is very solid and all that expected goodness is there. And yet, it still seems mediocre for a PS3 game i meen all the ps3 HDMI graphics where there and it had all that old traditional Prince of Persia sounds but this game could have done so much more but the nice thing ubi soft added was co-op but it was also kinda not worth it expecialy in  this type of game to me it just seemed like a pain playing with someone else so i played a majoroty of it in single player over all if you played the old Prince Of Persia game's and love them give the new one a shot but don't go out and buy it i would advise renting it first overall it was just an ok game that followed old standerds with a couple of changes.

Rating 5.5/10
