Luminous Arc 2: Taking on the Witches

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Luminous Arc 2 is the follow up to the not so successful Luminous Arc that was released in 2007. It is therefore slightly surprising that the producers, namely Atlus, have decided to take a gamble with a sequel to the game. The original version enjoyed mixed responses and was blatantly derided by the critics, as the game was plagued multiple flaws that deprived gamers from enjoying the overall gaming experience. The producers have claimed that they have made many vital improvements that should put things into perspective and take the gaming experience to the next level. (more…)

Age of Empires: Mythologies: Slowly and surely gaining Control over you

Friday, November 28th, 2008

One common complaint that gamers have against game developers is that they are dishing out more turn-based strategy games, rather than say something more fast-paced like real-time strategy. It is not that gamers are bored of turn-based strategy games, or are turning their back to it. It is far from that, as the gamers simply want some variety to the game format. It is worth mentioning that of late everyone from Majesco to THQ, Square Enix, Atlus, Nintendo and others are into turn-based strategy games. (more…)

What’s a name got to do with the game? Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

There was a time, especially in the late eighties and the early nineties, when Tecmo Bowl consistently used to be ranked among the top 25 games of the generation. The reason behind its gradual decline can be partly attributed to the fact that it is more of a celebratory, self-patting game and consequently lacked the arsenal to challenge games that offer more depth. Back in 1989 when it was first launched, it was quite a craze, as its design was competent enough to become the best football game of on the market. However, in today’s context it seems more of an archival game that is awaiting its time to bid adieu. (more…)

Are you ready to face the nightmare called Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades is the follow up to the popular Guitar Hero series, and is once again ready to enthrall you with some interesting stuff. The interesting thing behind the selection of the title ‘Decades’ is that the games basically hinges on the songs of the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s,, which you will to an extent find peculiar, especially considering that every other game of the series had such songs in one form or the other. The game’s setup is such that you have to play at least four songs from each decade chronologically, with the added provision of a fifth one. (more…)
