SOCOM is a squad based tactical shooter that is known for its rich graphics and solid game play. With the delay in the release fans would surely be disappointed. Jeremy Dunham the community manager of Zipper commented that they understood fans really expected to play the new game for the holidays but then there really is no shortcut in creating a quality game. Instead of releasing a game that might disappoint the millions of players more time is needed.

What sets SOCOM apart from other games? Well heres a list of some of its great features on the PS3 platform
You get to play head on with up to 32 players online in HD
The maps are highly detailed
Different special forces units to choose from ranging from U.S. Navy SEALs to British SAS
Tournamentscan be played at different levels from regional, national to international

These reasons and a lot more are what keep people coming back and playing more of this game. If you are a fan of this game and highly anticipating its release on the PS3 then you are going to have to wait a little bit longer. Don’t worry though since as soon as the game will be released I’m sure that it is going to be one amazing experience.

Playables Limited and Wai Dat Chan were the defendants in the case and argued that game copiers merely provided a way for people to play home brewed games. Justice Floyd on the other hand pointed out that this reason alone cannot be used as a defense.

The court pointed out that game copiers first bypass the security settings of Nintendo before any home brewed game could be played. The mere fact that the security settings were breached makes it illegal.

How do these game copiers work? These are actually chips that fit into the Nintendo DS cartridge slot. Once booted up it then disables the security system of the gaming device thus enabling people to play pirated games. It is normal for people with game copiers to hold lots of pirated and home brew video game titles stored in their memory card.

Just recently the Netherlands also made the same ruling making it unlawful to import and sell game copiers.

Nintendo is pleased with the way the High Court ruled citing that these game copiers really does a substantial effect on their gaming sales.

The game play is still the same with the competing races Proton, Terran and Zerg fighting it out in different worlds. Players need to build different battle units if they want to stay alive and have to use the local resources available to do this. There really is no defined strategy that guarantees a win, players have to adapt to the ever changing battle and find weaknesses in their opponents defense.

As of now the initial reaction is positive. A lot of buzz is happening over gaming forums, Amazon reviews, Metacritic reviews and gamers are praising the game for its smooth play and stunning graphics. The game play is balanced between the three competing races so no one race would really dominate.

The only downside to this game is that there is no local area network support which was an option available with the original StarCraft. Although this won’t affect most of the gamers since online play is popular these days, those that want that nostalgic feel would probably be left out. A lot of customers that left a 1 star rating for the game over at Amazon (5 being the highest) had this to complain about.

For PC gamers who prefer their digital content delivered by Games on Demand for Windows, Microsoft will deliver weekly updates to the GFW library every week, promising “more than 100 new titles joining the portfolio by year’s end.”

An announcement like this warrants a deal, no? Well… “Microsoft will offer Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time both for 75% off suggested retail price (200 Microsoft Points or $2.49 USD)!”

Huzzah! Old Prince of Persia games for everyone!

The DLC will also include new cooperative challenges as well as extra achievements and experience rewards.

So here go watch the trailer.

and tell us what you think of it!

Lets start off with some background information. In Just Cause 2 you play as Rico Rodriguez a agent for the agency.You go around doing mission in an attempt to cause chaos to unlock missions.
With a huge map and more places to go as you do more missions the game is fun packed. Explosions in every corner, and the grappling hook is the best part of the game. With the grappling hook you can grapple two people together and watch them collide with each other or, grapple someone off a building and watch them fall. But like any reviewer i must give the downside’s to the game. To some people it might just seem like your usual third person shooter where you go around in free roam and kill and destroy. There’s more to it.The main points of the downside is the controls. They do take some getting used to before you can play. But just after about ten minutes of playing i was set to go and have a rampage of fun!

So if your into third person shooter go pickup this game at your GameSpot or Walmart.

Intro
Assassin’s creed 2 is a single player, sandbox style game where you are put into the shoes of Ezio auditore da Firenze, an assassin.

Plot

The game starts off right where the first Assassins Creed game finished, with you playing the part of Desmond Miles, a former assassin. Lucy Stillman, who is an employee who is working undercover in abstergo industries, helps Desmond escape from abstergo industries. After Desmond and Lucy escape, they travel to an unknown place where Desmond finds out that Lucy is an assassin. Then Desmond enters the animus 2.0 (a device that lets people take control of their ancestors) and Desmond’s memories take him to the late 1400’s, Italy. There you take control of ezio auditore and his story of becoming an assassin.

Gameplay

Assassin’s creed 2 is a very long game, relatively easy difficulty with complex controls (e.g. X is fast walk and steal, but hold R1 and X lets you free run.) It is very much like prince of Persia when it comes to free running (big jumps, swinging from poles etc…) There is a wide variety of weapons to keep or just pick up, ranging from throwing knives to big, double bladed axes. It is an open world game, where you can travel to Florence, Italy, Forli, Tuscany and monteroggoni. There are also civilians roaming the streets, and they react to notorious actions (e.g. Kill a guard and they run away, or steal money off someone and get into a fight they will crowd around you) the guards also react to either impressive or socially unacceptable actions (e.g. Kill someone they immediately try to kill you.) there is also a notoriety icon in the top left corner of the screen, which is clear when you are not notorious, but it can fill up red if you commit crimes (e.g. if you steal, kill or get the guards on you) when your notoriety icon is clear, the guards will not notice you casually, but if it is full of red, they will instantly chase after you if your seen.

Graphics and sound

The graphics for the game are great, especially if you have it in HDMI, except for 1 small glitch- when you throw someone into a wall, sometimes there head goes into the wall when they fall over. There’s probably some more but I haven’t found any so far.
The sound is also great if you don’t have HDMI on it, but if you do it mutes the voices in cut scenes and some other things don’t make any noise, for example when you draw your sword or sometimes when you’re punching.

Overall

Over all I think the game is brilliant, save a few mutes in HDMI, and is definitely one the best games on ps3.

The company has received good response to its new range of games from girls around the world. When asked about the kind of response received to its new releases, Jack Wills, PR Manager at Myplayyard said, “The response has been very impressive. The demand overtook our bandwidth capability and we had to scale up our servers and bandwidth within 2 days of releasing the girls games”
The company has launched the games that require the Adobe Flash Player and the Shockwave player to run. These players have become the standard in the online gaming environment and dominate the arcade game sites all over the internet.
While the company gave no word on the revenue generated from the new games, it said that the traffic numbers will be released very soon. “We will soon release the site statistics for our investors very soon. We are carefully tracking the response to our new launches and we will make the information available at the right time,” said Jack.
