Week Five: Xbox Memory

3 Comments

 When I was little, Xbox was the coolest and newest thing. Everyone wanted one, which included me of course. So my brother and I got one for christmas.  We would play for hours on it. We couldn’t do without this box of cords and chips that made a virtual world come to life  on our very own television. It was the most hi-tech console on the market. It had So many games, from Halo, to Call of Duty, and more!

While I used it, I had so much fun playing video games every night. I could do things on Xbox that I couldn’t ever do in real life. I could fly in spaceships, or even make my own world, but the best part is getting to play with up to four friends in co-op and versus adventures in our favorite games. That is why I loved Xbox so much. If it weren’t for Xbox, I wouldn’t be playing video games.

Punch Quest

1 Comment

Punch Quest is an awesome game, it combines humor, creativity, and the need for skill.

In the game you start out by punching a door down—the door to a random dungeon of course— and you have only two buttons: a punch button, and an uppercut button. You go through a course which contains many foes, such as skeletons, wrathes, bats, random flying things that are impossible to explain, and so on.

You can costomize your characters looks: hair, armor, and more but also you can costomize your punches, power ups, and uppercuts.

The need for skill comes in when you are low in health, this makes it so that you have to really focus on staying alive. The wraiths are very difficult! But not just them, all of the mobs.

The game has a funny look, for example, your start-out person is a buff, bare chested, bafoon that thinks a goblin punched him. The backgrounds are simple, and the mobs are wierd. Over all, this is a difficult, humorous, and great game. Enjoy!

Don’t Look Back

1 Comment

No, this isn’t a drama, there’s not going to be any DUN! DUN! DAAAA!s or dramatic pauses, just another game review. The game Don’t Look Back is a small, yet very difficult game. It is entirley pixelated and simple, but don’t let that fool you, this game requires skill, thinking, and the will not to throw your iPad/computer at the wall.

In the game, you are a pink pixelated person, you start by looking at a grave, there is no explanation as to why you are there, who’s grave it is, or why you should care, then you have the task of going the opposite direction and seeing whats in store for you in the open world.

This game has only four buttons: left, right, jump, and shoot. At some points in the game, you must use slight of hand and a touch of thinking to pass the obstacles/enemies. Thats all I will tell you about this game: I don’t want to spoil it for you. Hoped you liked this review and found it helpful, Enjoy!

Payback 2

1 Comment

Payback 2 is an iPad game, once again. This is one of my favorites though. Inside the game, your set to complete objectives and/or defeat the other team in the many game modes and maps. Your are a gangster in this game, and you have different weaponry and cars to drive and use. One of my favorite game modes is capture the swag- in which instead of a flag, you capture guess what… swag.

The car driving and combat in this game are fun, fast, and fluent. The view of the game is third person birds eye view, with a movement joystick on the right, and an aiming joystick on the left. the game has a sense of freedom while playing, mostly because you can drive so many cars, helicopters, and tanks anywhere you want. The graphics however, aren’t the best. There not horrible or anything, just not excellent.

Over all, I would highly recommend getting or trying the game. Therefor, i give this game a 4.5 out of 5 for control/view, a 5 out of 5 for freedom/customization, and a 3 out of 5 for graphics.  Enjoy!

Scribblenauts

Scribblenauts is a sandbox game. But it’s different from other games. In Scribblenauts, you are placed in a world as a boy named Maxwell. As you look around the screen, you see a notebook in the upper right corner. When this notebook is clicked, you enter a menu. On the menu there is a keyboard and a text box. When something is typed in, that object will appear in the world. But, that’s not all. There are several levels in which you have to create the right object to solve the puzzle.

While playing the game, you get a feeling of freedom and comedy. This game is good for playing with friends, or alone. There are many levels to complete, and very very many objects to use. This game has everything, from dragons, to exotic fruit from Indonesia. Over all, I would rate this game at a four out of five. This game is available on iOS devices for $1. This game is also available on Nintendo DS for around $20.
