    FIFA 09

    FIFA 09

    Fifa 09 is undoubtedly the pinnacle of football games youll find either on your PC or console. Fifa games have traditionally been a top favorite compared to Pro Evolution Soccer (though some might disagree); with a fully licensed game its hard to compete against.

    It has to be said that Fifa 09 graphics are hard to ignore, they just get so much better every year. Gameplay has also improved tremendously, with AI perfected now that players actually request for the ball in spaces when youre in possession. When a player is offside you will also notice defenders raising their hand in appeal to the linesman.

    All these small elements add a whole new dimension of realism to the game. Unlike the rather arcade-like Pro Evolution soccer, Fifa 09 actually forces you to play with a slow and measured pace and is the best way to create goal-scoring chances. This can be a pain for some; slow build up isnt an attraction for fast-paced gamers, which is why some might still prefer the arcade like Evolution Soccer.

    All in all personally you might prefer playing Fifa 09. The sense of realism to the game is second to none, plus its much easier to score hear than in previous version as the keeper is much more easier to score against. Fifa 09 continues to dominate on the world stage across all platforms and nothings stopping it at the moment.

    Gears Of War2

    Great X-mas gift for any gamer out there is Gears Of War2 Highly recommend for the hardcore gamer watch the trailer!


    To start off, I played the first Gears for the campaign/co-op campaign. And I purchased this game for the same reason, so if you’re looking to know more about multiplayer gameplay, check out another review. That said, this game plays very well, very much like a thrill ride for the most part. Story can use a lot more refining and better integration. This gets a 5-star in its own right. But Halo 3 and BioShock are still better games overall than GoW 2.

    GAMEPLAY: A+
    This game still plays like the first Gears, except with a wider array of weapons and features (ie, chainsaw battles, different modes of executing a downed enemy). This is a third person shooter, for those who have not played the first one. And also, expect a lot of blood and violence, so if you are parents considering this game for your children, this serves as fair warning.

    The campaign takes longer to beat this time around (10-20h I think). The graphics are very beautiful and realistic, and a lot more ‘vibrant’. The first Gears was in general a very dark and gloomy game. You see a lot more color in this one. Co-op campaign gameplay continues to be addictive and I think a strength in this game. It is still as immersive an experience for all players involved as the first Gears was.

    Further, the creators definitely outdid themselves in design of the levels. You should expect to be pleasantly surprised with every single level that comes up. While you can clearly expect to see yourself running around in the streets battling waves after waves of Locust, you will also see another order of magnitude of fighting, with sometimes even as many as 80-100 Locust rushing through your field of view. To emphasize the creativity of the creators, there was also, at various points later in the game (spoiler warning), a section where you had to traverse a pitch-black tunnel to safely escort a vehicle across, and even a level where your squad somehow ends up inside one of the Locust beasts and had to fight your way out…

    Overall, this game has been quite an experience. It deserves an A+ and Game of the Year awards.
