Top 10 360 games according to me! (Continued)

6. Fallout: New Vegas


The Fallout series is truly delicious. It's based on exploring an entire map with guns, swords, rocks, parts of animals, being in pants and nothing else if need be, it truly is quite the trip. Fallout is always the deliverer of quick wit, story choices, weapon discovery and the V.A.T.S system which is unique in itself. It's quite in depth when I think about it, armour usually needs reparing along with weapons, you can craft items into better stuff, build and buy attachments, hell, you can kill vendors and take all their items if you don't have the money for it but it depends on how you are as a person really.

My own experiences are always leaned towards the power of good! But when I get bored, I might go on a little massacre or kill a vender and pilfer his s*** then sell it all on for a profit, I'm just that kinda guy. It's a good thing I don't get bored easily otherwise I'd have probably killed my family by now.

But that's just between you and me.

All in all, you'll like New Vegas. It's dynamic and the replayability is brilliant. I might pop it in now actually but then I have to do two more of this list so I am quite a sad panda.

5. Bulletstorm


Now hold on, chaps, let me get this straight. The story was too short and the level design was something to be desired but that's all.

NOW ONTO THE GOOD STUFF!

Bulletstorm has a LOT of charm. The writing and script are genius, you can play just to hear them speak. Your main character is a complete smart ass and every wise crack he makes made me chuckle a little. The gameplay's not that bad either. The idea is the more creative you are, the more points you get. I kinda think you're limited by each stage on how creative you can get but it still works. The more you overuse one method though, you earn less points so its always good to mix it up a little. Plus, you need these points to refill ammo and upgrade and other stuff, it's a system that works.

You'll have fun with Bulletstorm, no doubt. I'll put my life on the line. Only joking, I can't allow you to be that much of a c***.

4. Assassins Creed Brotherhood


The Creed series is pretty popular. It's about assassins fighting templars using machines to go into the past using a certain person DNA structure because apparently, you can relive a persons ancestors memories blah blah blah MORE IMPORTANT STUFF RELEVANT TO THIS POST

You're an assassin. +1. You're Italian. +19323498273498724 DO YOU KNOW HOW SEXY ITALIANS ARE, THEY CHALLENGE MY SEXUALITY

Back on topic, in this game, you can control other assassins and make your own guild, send them on missions and they f*** up shit for other people because you've told them too. And when you're bored, you can buy the god damn Colosseum whilst you're bored.

I could write more but what needs more pointing out then being Italian, an assassin and buying the Colosseum?  

LAST 3 PICS IN THE NEXT POST, CHAPS.

Kinect? (SHOULD)

Anybody remember the hype of the Kinect about to bash down the doors to our tiny little minds? Made out to be what is the next step in technology and will advance the way we play games? What concept looked and sounded impressive, the idea made your technological mouth water?

It looks delicious. Shame it doesn't delicious.

Personally, when I heard it, I had two thoughts in mind:

1. Wow, this actually sounds worth having! It's quite impressive, the motion capture thing!
2. It can't be all that. They're saying all this but I'm sure it wont be that good.

The use of logic astounds me, squires and squirettes.

As I was right about my second thought, I managed to grab myself a Kinect just to see what all the fuss was about. And right then and there..

It was fun as hell.


Popping in Kinect Adventures and jumping around like a ******* idiot was new to me, it was fresh and it was also something I could play with my girlfriend and family, no use of skill was needed, just the ability to jump and react to certain sequences.

HOWEVER


The more I played with my Kinect, the more the fad ran out. It became something I could just wave and talk to when I couldn't be arsed looking for a controller to finger. Funny thing is it did come out and do what it was promised to do. It actually did. Everything that was said about it didn't deliver any broken promises.

So why didn't it live up to its hype?

Oh, look, the main thing from the hype trailer that made me want to buy the Kinect.
...
WELL WHERE IS IT?! 

Well I'm not going to do research on what ALL of the hype was so I'll just tell you what I remember hearing about it, what it actually did and why it sucked in doing that.

1. Voice capture. Voice capture. It made it out to be that you could have full on conversations with the thing. That just by saying "Play disc" or "Turn on" was the basic features of the voice capture. Little did anyone know, you had to shout at it "Xbox" first then choose from a list of options. Plus it didn't turn on, I've tried, I shouted at it for an hour thinking it was broken. It just wasn't up to scratch with the hype that potrayed it.

2. Motion sensor. Motion sensor. Yeah alright, the selling point was the motion sensor which DID actually motion sense the **** out of you.

But they failed to mention how much god damn room you needed to play the ******* thing.

If you live in the UK like I do, room space isn't generous as we live on an island and we have basically 1/5 of the US population. That's a lot of people and when you compare the space? You have to make room for others.

The living room in which I played the Kinect in has two chairs, a sofa and a dining table in the middle. Even when I moved all 3 out of the way, the table was just to my left so I couldn't go left but I tried anyway. My leg hurt.

This is what they failed to add. Space. They didn't say very much about it and if they did, it'd have been compared to that extremely small writing that you get food products telling you what actually IS up with the product, it's just not right that the most important pieces of information are kept from us.  DAMN YOU, WORLD.

3. Play with two players. Play with two players. Just read above and imagine two people. I really need to move to America, that place has houses the size of my county.

That's all I can really think of right now, I'll probably come back and update this post again and again when I come up with new reasons to bitch about the Kinect. It's still a good product though, maybe I just haven't played many Kinect games so I might go ahead and buy that new Star Wars game where you fling a lightsaber around like a ******* idiot.


Ciao for now, Squires and Squirettes.

Was basically my Christmas and everybody elses.
