Fifa 2011: Headed in the Wrong Direction

This game is a bit of a let down because it is almost totally different from the very misleading demo. Before the bad points are thrown in, lets get the good points in.

In Fifa 2011 the graphics have been greatly improved compared to Fifa 2010. Now the players actually look like real players, not like an animated blob that can only be distinguished by color.

This is Fifa 10

This is Fifa 11

Another good point is that the players are somewhat limited on what tricks they can do. This is based off of that players real life dribbling talents. This can be good for those who know how to use it right, but at the same time it can be horrible to new comers.

One last good point is that the option to play as the goalkeeper has been introduced. This is very new and has never been done before in Fifa. It throws a good twist into the game and allows constant action.

Now for the let down part. Fifa 2011 is one of those games which is based off of blunt strength. If you have a couple of big fit guys, you are almost certain to take down smaller "weaker' teams. This is a very bad concept because in real Soccer the smaller man always seems to be able to slide right through the legs of the opponent with ease.

Another bad concept is that some of the historic teams and lesser know teams are forgotten and left to rot. Some of these teams would be the Rangers, AJAX and the Celtics.

Overall this game is fun but it is not a game i suggest to people who are not big fans of soccer. Do no base your opinion of the game off the demo because as i said before it is very misleading. This game does not compare to Fifa 2010 and is almost a waste of money.

XGC SNYDER462 APP2 - ALICE: MADNESS RETURNS

XGC Snyder462 App2 - Alice: Madness Returns


Alice:Madness Returns
American McGee’s Alice was released on P.C 10 years ago throwing you into a twisted, brutal wonderland full of puzzles and dark demented enemies. What‘s most appealing about these games is the way wonderland is portrayed. The desolate environments, twisted with insane characters, make the story a “rollercoaster” McGee said to G4. Alice has been institutionalized for the past ten years dealing with the death of her parents as well as some hallucinations.
Now, after being released from Rutledge asylum , she will be set on a quest to find out what really happened to her parents; through London to wonderland and the dark corners of Alice’s mind. In an interview with G4 American McGee had this to say . “…We’ve had ten years to listen to customer feedback what they liked and disliked …really amp up the narrative aspects ,the plat forming, the combat but then, where there was frustration ,we get to pull that back…What’s great about the first is what’s great about the second: is variety. You never see the same thing twice…”



The game is being developed by McGees studio Spicy Horse and published by EA on all 3 platforms. We should see a release sometime in 2011.
As a fan of the first I have been waiting for this game a long time. I am confident that after ten years it will be worth the wait. The teaser trailers as well as a link to the interview are below. Let the insanity begin. “Every enemy is a puzzle” (McGee EA Tokyo Show.)

Nice man i like it!! i like the fact you used video's and images try and follow this for your next article, i think it will help you alot xx


How to improve your work.

When writing your game reviews or articles about a topic you obviously follow the basic guidelines of what to include:

Title
Release Date (if not already released)
Designer
Game Creator
Platform
Genre
Images

The best way to write an article is to go not for quantity but quality, its better to use words like Spectacular Game play…. than something like Good Game Play…

You need to think about how there reader is going to take it in, don’t make it really long paragraphs, make it small snappy facts about the game or topic otherwise you loose the readers interest as they get bored or tired of reading and reading, they want something that is small and light to read.

When Writing remember:

“When you sell a man a book you don't sell him just 12 ounces of paper and ink and glue - you sell him a whole new life.”*

Title: Demon's Soul's
Genre:RPG
Publisher:Atlus
Developer:From Software
Released:October 6,2009
Rated:Mature
Exclusively for PS3
Rating:9.5/10
By:XGC Snyder462


Demon’s Soul’s Pushing the difficulty.
Demons Soul’s will test your patience and possibly the strength of your controller. This is one of the most difficult games out there. From software did an amazing job on this RPG, implementing intense game play with the puzzle- like strategies of its boss battles. As you start the game you get a choice of character preset, this decision is only reflected in the first few hours of the game as you can upgrade your character as you see fit. The game tosses you into a dark medieval world in which you are slain pretty much right off the bat. You’re then transported to the nexus; a realm in which you can be both alive and dead. Which one you play as most will affect your tendency. You have a world and character tendency. This effect will determine what game experience you have as black is hard and white is slightly easier in the game play. Your ultimate goal is to collect souls ,which level you up so that you may destroy the Old One Freeing the land of Bolitaria . If your slain you’ll drop those souls and have to restart at the beginning of that stage, where you can attempt to retrieve them from where you fell. If your slain on the way back to said souls they are lost forever rendering hours of game play useless. See the difficulty? Making the game slightly easer is the use of its unique multiplayer . As a player you can leave hint messages on the ground for other players i.e. look out ahead or beware the fall .That’s not the only cool multiplayer feature; the best is that you can either help others in their quest by joining at their request via Blue Eye Stone or Invade their world as a Black Phantom sought to slay them in order to achieve a massive soul count. Whichever way you do it it’s a sheer blast just to see how others set up their character and whether or not yours can take them. When you inevitably die .. And you will a lot .. you’ll be able to see what you did wrong, which most of the time is something as simple as letting your guard down.
This game looks amazing unlike any I’ve ever seen .It really makes good use of the PS3 engine which is the only platform this game is available on. Publisher Atlas has said that they will keep the Demons Souls servers up until march 2011. If you have a PS3 I highly recommend adding this “no doubt soon to be classic” to your collection. I leave you with the trailer and some screenshots.

On the 'Demon's Souls' review. If you are going to have that many pictures, I would say have more information about the game. We like pictures and when you submit work to be edited and then posted, you will put in the links at the end of your article and we will work them in but do not overdue with the pictures and the videos. Other than that, keep submitting the work this week and we will see where you stand. Good luck and keep up the great work!
