There have been plenty of great scores in the games of 2009 but Killzone 2’s is awesome. With vehicles as well as guns this one looks set to rock it come March 2010. Heavy Rain was nailed on for this and while it’s still one of my most anticipated games of next year, playing through the beta of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has swayed me in favour of DICE’s first person shooter. A fantastic game that saw you playing through the 1400’s in Italy, the trailer showed off exactly what the game had to offer. There were lots of amazing trailers in 2009 but for me the most impressive both visually and with respect to what the gameplay promised, was Assassin’s Creed II. InFamous (Karma System Working Within Empire City)Ĭall Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Deathstreaks) Meaning that just as you’d be capturing the flag (speaker) the game could switch to deathmatch (Body Count) or whatever which in turn means that no two rounds are ever the same – genius. Killzone brought the noise in more ways than one but the changing game types within one online game was pretty sweet. WINNER: Killzone 2 (Changing Game Modes Within A Consistent Online Match) Getting back into the Capital Wasteland never felt so good. Offering hours and hours more gameplay and an extended level cap to boot, the various DLC packs for Fallout 3 were well above anything else that arrived this year.
#First part of brutal legend ps3 psp#
Throw the PSP resurgence into the mix and it adds up to one brilliant era for games.Īnyway, now onto the main event! The awards you’ve been waiting for… With so many great games arriving and with plenty of 2008’s hits ( Bioshock/ Fallout 3/ GTA IV/ Metal Gear Solid 4 etc) falling in price it’s a great time to own a PS3. It’s a shame as there is a good story and a great game world there to be explored but it’s hampered by the somewhat clumsy RTS parts.Ģ009 has, in my opinion, been one of the best years ever to be a gamer. Overall I think Brutal Legend suffers from the indecision of it’s creators, or perhaps the grand ideas they had for the game as a mix of genres that just didn’t come off. In particular the ‘facemelter’ solo always brought a smile to my face. The world is fun to play around in and the mix of axe and guitar attacks make the game a giggle at times. The universe created by Tim Schafer is a vivid one that evokes old album covers and even features Lemmy and Ozzy Osbourne as characters. I guess this game might be a good way to find out if you might like the genre or not. However that also may be because I’m relatively inexperienced with RTS games.ĭuring the big RTS battles I’d often know what I was supposed to be doing but just couldn’t find the right combo of ‘soldiers’ – even then most of the time the battle would just end with a victory without me having any idea what had triggered the win. The main problem seems to be that the game couldn’t decide what it wanted to be – personally I found the driving, exploration and hack n slash sections to suit the music and story better than the RTS bits. I really enjoyed Brutal Legend, it’s mix of hack n slash and RTS (Real Time Strategy) didn’t quite do it for me but the story and voice acting carried me through it. The game tells the story of Eddie Riggs (Black), a roadie who finds himself in a mystical metal filled world and becomes embroiled in a battle to save it’s inhabitants.
I like Jack Black and the music tracklist for the game looked great – Brutal Legend truly is a homage to the Metal genre. After being impressed with the demo I was looking forward to playing Brutal Legend.
