Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond


Although a lot of people will disagree, Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard was a good game and is one of my favorite games for the 360. It was filled with comedy gold, thanks largely in part to the voice work of Neil Patrick Harris and Will Arnett.

They made this game even more hilarious when adding their twisted versions of iconic video games characters like Mario, Master Chief, and the Soldiers from Gears of War. Unfortunately it fail to reach the same success as those games, but that didn’t stop D3 Publishing and Vicious Cycle from continuing the compelling saga that is Matt Hazard. Soon XBL Arcade and the PS Network will be granted the privilege of having Matt Hazard: Blood Bath and Beyond added to their catalogs.


Blood Bath and Beyond is going to feel like Bionic Commando: Rearmed and Shadow Complex. The game does boast Co-Op where you get to fight alongside Matt Hazard as his longtime friend and partner Dexter Dare. The only problem with this though is the fact that the Co-Op is only player Local only.


The plot this time around is Mr. Hazard having defeated Wallace “Wally” Wellesley, he now turns his attention to Marathon MegaCorps the evil video game corporation that has now gone back in time to destroy Matt’s 8-bit version, now it’s up to Matt, Dexter and a catolog of old school gaming friends to stop them from succeeding.

WET review

I have to be fair, I did not get to spend as much time as I would have liked to with WET, a couple of day after WET arrived from Gamefly, Borderlands came out and I have been glued to that game ever since. I did however get to play a couple days worth of WET, at least until I became stuck on a skydiving/free falling level. So here are my thoughts on WET...up until that point.
WET-Ruby-1221
WET isn’t a bad game it just falls into some bad game traps. Glitchy cameras angles, upsetting targeting controls and casting. First off, up until the wall I ran into in story mode the voice acting wasn’t that bad except for Eliza Dushku. Her delivery of almost everyone of her lines is just completely dry and without any emotional context what-so-ever, it’s like watching an episode of FOX’s Dollhouse (and that is not a good thing). Malcolm McDowell and Alan Cumming lend their voice and do a great job as expected. The cinematics are great, the in game graphics are pretty good, the little “Grindhouse” cutscenes were cool the first I don’t know two times they did it after that it just becomes annoying. What makes it even worse is the fact that you cant even skip over it because I am fairly certain that the “Grindhouse” scenes have replaced the traditional load screen. Yes, it is better than just staring at a blank load screen but come on at least give up the option.
eliza-dushku-dollhouse-2
From a story-line stand point, it’s a pretty solid revenge story. Girls helps Son save his Father, then Father has Girl track down now troubled Son, Girls finds and rescues troubled Son, Father kills Son then tries to kill Girl for her troubles, but doesn’t succeed and now Girl wants revenge, and that is where I am in the story. So far I’m very enthralled in the story I just wish I could get past this free falling level it really is beginning to piss me off but I’ll give it another shot. I know the rest of the story and all the plot twists but I won’t ruin it for the people that still want to play it even after reading this review.
wet-videogame-ruby-sword-swing-screenshot-big
Earning the points for upgrading skills and weapons is done through linking attacks and acrobatic moves, it’s pretty cool for awhile then when you start messing up you start to hate it a lot because your raking up almost no points. The guns so far are guns I guess it’s pretty much generic, the sword is pretty cool but, it’s all the same to me (although sliding across the ground and taking out your blade and slicing it through an enemy like butter). The training sessions in Ruby’s Boneyard were kind of helpful for people like me who don’t really play games like Prince of Persia and Max Payne not a big fan of Slow-mo. Up until the free falling level, I don’t really dislike the game. Now for the remainder of this review.
wet screen 2
I have yet to be able to beat the free falling level. I tried yet again to best the level in between gaming sessions of Borderlands (which I recommend you go out and get) and Game 2 of the 2009 World Series, and the game just is not going to have it. The level seems easy enough; as your free falling in the sky you look form left to right, up and down and kill enemies as they pass you, sounds easy doesn’t it...it’s not. You are pretty much stationary and your enemies can pass from left to right fall downward and float back up above you, it’s ridiculous. You shoot someone in the head and they should die it’s called a headshot but know you have to unload two and a half clips into the guy to have them die, whereas acouple of shots from them and you have next to no health. This wouldn’t be so frustrating if at some point during the level there was some sort of checkpoint so you didn’t have to keep restarting the board from the beginning of the level. I have played that one level so many times that I almost broke yet another controller from anger while playing a video game. Since I started playing video games I have broken 1 Playstation, 2 Playstations, 4 PS2 controllers, 1 Sega Genesis, 2 Gameboy Colors, 1 Gameboy DS, and 2 Xbox controllers due to what I like to call Acute Level Frustration or ALF. So in order to prevent destruction of property (especially my own) Wet has been resealed and sent back to Gamefly and am now awaiting the arrival of Beatles Rockband, at least until November 10th and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is upon us.
wet_2
In closing don’t even bother renting this game it’s not worth the gamerscore points and/or trophies, if you really want a Grindhouse experience just go watch Planet Terror or Death Proof.

P.S. Happy Belated Birthday to Me.

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe

mortal_kombat_vs_dc_universe-xbox_360screenshots3898mkvsdcu_100308_04



This will probably be one of the easiest reviews I will ever write. Mortal Kombat VS. DC Universe is probably one of the worst games I have ever played and I had high hopes for this game. I wanted to add this game to my collection so badly, I mean come on it’s Motal Kombat and the DC Universe combined... now I glad I signed up for Gamefly and got it that way. Story mode is just horrendous, the controls leave something to be desired, the voice acting is a joke, and the cut scenes are even worse. I honestly didn’t think anything could be worse than Call of Juareze, but I was wrong. Just from playing a couple of hours of this game I wanted out of my house. It is completely understandable how Midway went bankrupt, when they pump out toilet trees like this.

mortal_kombat_vs_dc_universe-xbox_360screenshots3896mkvsdcu_100308_01
I was actually so mad playing story mode that I had to turn it off and step outside for a minute or I was likely to break something. After my little cool down period I came back in and tried the other game modes. Arcade mode was a joke everything is the same and its boring. Kombo Challenges were nonsensical and unexplained, after about 10 minutes of trying to figure out exactly what they wanted me to do I gave up. Took the game out of the system back into it’s packaging and sent it back to Gamefly. I haven’t had that bad of experience gaming since Call of Duty: World at War.

mortal_kombat_vs_dc_universe-xbox_360screenshots3897mkvsdcu_100308_02

In closing don’t buy this game, don’t rent this game, don’t waste you precious gaming minutes playing such a crap-tastic game. Go play The Maw instead or the new arcade title Zombie Apocalypse.

Welcome to Pandora

Check the Trailer:




There have only been a few games this year that I have been really excited about. Batman: Arkham Asylum of course Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but the game that really has me excited is Boarderlands. Think Mad Max meets Fallout 3. I only recently became interested in RPG's upon begin exposed to Fallout 3 and Fable. I could never really get into World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy, really anything turn-based, I hate having to wait I'm not very good with the whole patience thing. But Boarderlands will be far different. The main difference will be the fact that instead of being an RPG with FPS elements Boarderlands is a FPS with RPG elements meaning that when you aim at an enemy and pull the trigger you actually hit the target (providing the reticle is actually on your target) no more do you have to worry if the invisible die roll will be in you favor.

The story of Boarderlands simply put is; Seven colonization ships traveled to the edge of the galaxy to a planet called Pandora in the distant future, in search of riches and a better life. Upon arriving on the planet they discover that all that remains are delapedated alien ruins. Those that were wealthy enough to leave did so, leaving everyone else to fend for themselves. Chaos and disorder follow as does the emergence of alien creatures that up until now were in hibernation, but there is hope. Across the planet are scattered radio transmissions speaking of a vault in the side of a mountain that is supposed too hold amazing alien technology.

There are 160 quests, 30 main quests and 130 side quests, 4 player drop in and out gameplay. Boarderlands features a Random Content Generator. This will affect the whole in game experience from the weapons you'll be using to the enemies you fight and the landscape and outer-rim towns you come across on this desolate planet.

There will be four playable characters Brick, Lilith, Roland, and Mordecai and they all have their own backstories that will be discovered during gameplay. Gearbox is also claiming that once the game is booted up there will be no load screens.

In closing, go get this game I have a strong feeling that Boarderlands will be a strong contender for Game of the Year.

Is Game Informer in Valve's Pocket?

Photobucket
While reading this months issue of Game Informer (issue 196), I came across a section I never read before because I generally don't care what people think or have to say (I'm basically a horrible person), but the Left 4 Dead 2 logo in the DearGI section caught my attention. Cody Hersman wrote:

"After the release of Left 4 Dead, Valve promised a steady release of new downloadable content for the game, much like they did for Team Fortress 2 . However, it hasn't even been a year since the release of Left 4 Dead and already they're announcing a sequel? We've hardly seen any of this promised DLC, so what's with the new full-priced game? Left 4 Dead 2 could easily be released as an expansion pack to the original. It's just a few changes to the director and some new weapons and zombies, so there's really no other reason that the new Left 4 Dead should even be a separate game. I'm not the only one who thinks this - there is an entire community that has instigated a boycott of Left 4 Dead 2. I hope Valve does the right thing and downgrades it's plans for a full retail release."



And you know what I think Cody is right, this could easily be an expansion pack. Look at the great expansion packs we've gotten for other titles Fable 2, Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. In Fallout 3 alone I have over 100 hours spent in game, but what has Valve given it's loyal customers? Nothing because that crappy little never ending hoard time trail doesn't count because it was a pointless addition especially because there were no achievements. They have officially made a game that isn't even a year old completely worthless to gamers. How you may ask well, by pumping out a sequel so fast and there being no real DLC to speak of what real incentive to gamers who haven't played the game, there will be a new one out in a couple of months. It's not like the sequel is a continuation of the first one, hell you don't even have to have ever played the first to know how to play the second. Plus you'll get nothing in trade in value because it's based on demand, and with the sequel out in November why buy the old one right.

Photobucket

Do I think a boycott will work...No, because Valve knows people are going to want to play it and see walk new stuff they put in, and game magazines will pimp it like its the end all be all, and start saying stuff like 5 out of 5, and game of the year. The first one shouldn't have even been considered game of the year, it was a good game but not GOTY.

I am a big believer in a good story (I am a screenwriter after all), and most games fall flat on this. L4D could have had the story be a little more in depth, they had the right idea do each level as a different movie, and each stage as a different episode of that movie. Where they fail is that after the initial cut scene the story stops and you just go about shooting it's fun for awhile but will get boring. What I feel was their biggest blunder was the end battles for each "movie." They were all the same, make it to the safe house call for help wait for them to arrive, fight off the hoard of commons, a couple of special infected and some tanks.

Game Informers response to Mr. Hersman's letter is what made me angery.

"The "controversy" surrounding the announcement of Left 4 Dead 2 is pathetic. Have you played the full game yet? Do you know exactly how the team is improving the mechanic? Do you know about the weapons and enemies being added? No, you don't. Furthermore, without that information, you are wholly unqualified to make any judgment relating to the game's scope, quality and appropriate pricing. Here's a little tip: Complaining about these things with no firsthand experience doesn't make you a gaming activist. It make you a whiny entitled brat."

First of all, where to you get off speaking to your readers that way. You get payed to sit on your ass all day and play video games, so we would all prefer a little less lip from the jackass with the perfect job. We the consumer get to voice our opinion about anything we want, it's our right. The majority of games released are complete garbage yet we are charged full retail price for a game that should cost no more than 30 dollars. WE do not get our games for free and before everyone else, WE do not get to play the demos of games to see how they are progressing. YOU get free stuff, YOU get to try the demos, YOU get access to all these companies and info, so you people should get off your high horse and stop sounding so pompous, holier than thou and ENTITLED! Any dipshit can do your job provided they are given the same access to the companies you are. Think about it I'm doing it right now, and so are thousands of other people across the globe.

Plus the fact that you sound like you are completely in the pocket of Valve. You should be feeling like us Lied to buy a company that has had a loyal fanbase because they wanted to cash in it's more mainstream popularity. You should be outraged that they tried to pass that piss poor excuse of a DLC off as anything more than useless garbage, and they are luck it was free because it is definately not worth paying for.

And that is all I have to say on the subject.

The Budget Battle

I recently forced myself to stick to a budget, no more buying games just because I can. I only pre-order the games that I am most excited about playing not the games that I am curious about, the problem with this though is it can leave you really bored. Even though the games that I still own are fun to play, once beaten I constantly look for something new. Answer, used games.

Now here's a quick backstory as to why I'm even writing this. I have been getting crap from my friends, for as they put it "scrapping the bottom of the barrel of gaming" and here's why.

I started off returning a couple of games to finish paying off the Ghostbusters video game, with the money left over I bought, The Force Unleashed - used, I beat it in one night so returned it for, Clive Barker's: Jericho, beat that returned it and got The Darkness, then Dark Sector and Kane & Lynch, kept Dark Sector because it's a great game and returned Kane & Lynch because I hated the controls. Next was Stranglehold and returned it for F4:ROTSS, traded that in for Perfect Dark Zero, then Jumper and lastly Bionicle Heroes.

I'm not saying the name of the store because people have said that they stopped doing this, but my stores hasn't. Wherever you buy your games always look at the receipts they should tell you about their return and exchange policies, and sometime like with me it works in your favor.

A lot of these games are also good if you want a quick boost in your Xbox gamerscore.

Bionicle Heroes - This game is so friggin annoying, the controls are garbage, the sound is horrible, and the screen gets all blurry all in all it's a garbage title Sneak King would be more fun.

Jumper - Easy 1000gs it only takes 2 playthoughs and the game is only 3 hours long.

Perfect Dark Zero - very aggravating game, but you can get the online achievements by plugging in a second controller and playing the various game types.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer - Easy 1000gs, but you have to actually play the game and nobody deserves that type of punishment. I could have got the 1000 but i would have had to play it again to get the last achievement and thats not gonna happen.

Dark Sector - Great story and the gameplay is pretty solid game mechanics, almost impossible to get the online achievements now seeing as how very few people are playing it. Definitely worth getting.

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men -The story is great and I was really hoping they would fix some of the stuff that had bugged me while playing the demo, but they didn't so I tried to make quick work of this game. Online play was okay it could have been a lot better.

Stranglehold -Is the sequel to John Woo's Hard Boiled starring Chow Yun-Fat. The story is great as are the controls my only problem is that the slow-mo bullet time effect gets old quick, as does the rampage mode, but if you love Chow Yun-Fat or John Woo (although he owes his success in the USA to Jean Claude Van Damme) you'll like this game.

The Darkness -Based on the Top Cow comic of the same name, it had some pretty innovative stuff, but I CAN NOT tolerate that Brooklyn Italian accent. It one of the reason I moved out of New York. Plus they couldn't even pronounce they names of New York Locations properly. Very poor writing and voice acting.

Clive Barker's: Jericho -You know the old Clive Baker tale, "An ancient evil has broken through into our world and is threatening to spread its taint across the whole of the Earth unless it's stopped" (direct quote check the link and see for yourself). You are the member of an elite paranormal military squad known as the Jericho Team and it's your job to stop the Taint. It's a pretty descent game great story it would make and awesome movie like Kane and Lynch and Dark Sector.

The Force Unleahed - I liked it and I don't really like Star Wars games, I like that it was a different story and it was very deep. The controls were solid and voice acting was spot on.

At the time I am writing this I have not yet finished Bionicle, but I have still gotten 4755 gamerscore points from playing the above game.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition review

Wolverine
Okay, so we all know that video games based on movies usually suck.
Examples:
Raiders of the Lost Ark - Atari 2600 (1982)
Star Wars - Nintendo (1987)
Back to the Future - Nintendo
Friday the 13th - Nintendo
Photobucket
Total Recall
Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game - Playstation/ Sega Saturn
Enter the Matrix -
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial - Atari 2600
But there are some exceptions (the list is below). The X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is definitely one of them. For starters the game doesn’t follow the movie exactly a lot of things changed and some stayed the same. The game is heavy on the backstory, the mission to Africa for Adamantium, multiple secret military installations, friends and foes never mentioned in the movie and special origin story about a over pigmented future X-Men.
Besides all that fun story-line stuff, there is also some pretty solid game mechanics. Hit detection is pretty spot on, when Wolverine lunges at a person it actually connects, no jumps past or through the person and then the action happens it’s all pretty spot on. I do have to note that glitches did happen but only twice. Once while fighting Sabertooth, I had already moved behind him and and the predetermined action that was supposed to happened continued even though I wasn’t in the correct spot (it was funny to see myself get thrown through a window when we were standing back to back. The other time was while fighting Gambit, I’ll try to keep this cryptic for those who either aren’t there yet or haven’t played the game yet. While fighting him in New Orleans stuff that you are on that is about to blow up, blows up because you couldn’t jump off. Another point in the fight, both of you are supposed to fall onto a platform, he jumps up to where the fight continues and you have to climb a ladder but on your way up a piece of scaffolding is blocking your ascent. Needless to say it took a couple of reloads to finish the fight, other then that the game ran pretty smoothly. I am however a little upset that you were only able to do the human shield move once wait no that is a predetermined action.



The Bonus section is pretty limited, it’s just where you go to unlock alternate costumes to wear in game, there’s nothing like running around in classic yellow and blue tights. To unlock the bonus area you must collect Wolverine statues, there are four sets of statues scattered throughout the entire game. Just because you found one classic Wolverine statues in the first level doesn’t mean you’ll find the next classic to complete the set in the same level or even the next. You might find X-factor Wolverine or Legendary Wolverine next.
Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber and Will i Am lend their voices to the game as did Phil LaMarr (from MadTV) for Gambit (I didn’t notice a difference maybe thats because Taylor Kitsch is a crap actor).
In summation, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a must see movie and a must play game. All achievements are fairly easy to get although some my be tricky to find, but all in all it’s a pretty awesome game and as the ending implies I hope to be playing the sequel soon.
