Video Game Reviews, News and Tips

One of the most exciting fighting games is back from the past. Mortal Kombat started its game series journey from 1992 and those days it was one of the best fighting game in arcade and later on consoles. From then Mk delivers an eight series of fighting games from different developers. Finally after Midway got bankrupt Warner grab the title and throws a title that all fighting game lovers were waiting Mortal Kombat (2011). As you already know that Mk was a fighting game but with a superb story of the Elder Gods and Realms and some young courageous fighters like Liu kang, Kung lao and Cage. But as the series progresses from 1992 in some version Mk developers forget the story part and made it just a fighting platform game. Now WB took a step to redo all the mistake that was destroying MK and delivers Mk 2011 with a superb story mode where you will learn the story of the characters and make the difference.

The story mode starts from the last version of MK series, MK Armageddon, Where all the realms warriors are dead. Only Rayden and Shao khan left and the final battle is almost at the end with Rayden got only little breath left on him sends a message to himself to the past and Walla you are in the first battle of Mortal Kombat Tournament. Chapter One: Jonny Cage, You will be in the battle with Reptile controlling Cage and he is easy to beat and the way Jonny acts is very funny and also cool. After that battle you’re up against Barracka and its easy battle too. Beat him up and Cage is on his way to date Sonya, but before that Rayden congratulates Cage for his good fighting skills and tells him that he must always be ready to fight for the Earth Realms and Cage won’t understand and ignores Rayden. When cage tries to ask Sonya for a date he finds out that Sonya is an Undercover and here to rescue her partner Jax. Now comes Kano and throws you down luckily Cage grabs the ledge of the wall and comes back for a battle and you’re on. Beat him to start the 2nd Chapter with Sonya. This is how the story progresses,

Play along the story and you will be amazed to realize how the story developed as I felt really exciting playing the story mode. All chapters are related to each characters story, I like the Sub Zero and Scorpions battles, Jax and Cage they both are real funny fighting for Sonya Blade. I recommend every MK lovers try the story mode to learn the stories of every character from MK.

First menu named Fight, where you can choose your character to play the bottom to top ladder system battles from the previous version. Fight your way to the boss to see the ending of your character. Every other character got their own endings over the fight menu. If you scroll through player option you can get to play up to 4 player option with versus battles. In fight menu you can play other mini games like test your might from previous games or test your sight (This 1’s new) and some more.

Without the story mode and fight menu, you can play Challenge mode which is also the ladder game mode from previous MK game series. Here you have to go through some series of tutorials and go for 100 of exciting challenges to beat the boss. Other then there is an online menu to play online versus and extra options where you can unlock loads of components.

The Fighting Style reminds me of the first few installments of the MK series. Thanks to the developers to bring back the 2d platforms. The characters signature moves still remain but the special X-ray moves made the game awesome. Every different character got their own X-ray moves. There is a bar on the left bottom side for your character when it becomes full you can hit the X-ray move. Cage’s X-ray move is real fun.

The Story mode graphics is good enough, but I think they could make the characters look better as like Shaolin Monk. Liu Kang, Kung Lao or Sonya, I liked the character design of Sonya from MK1 and Both Shaolin looked really best in MK Shaolin Monk. Other then X-ray mode graphics is super cool.

The ps3 version got its own charecter Kratos !!! Coooooooool i didn’t played it yet but soon i will write more info about the Ps3 version without some DLC characters everything seems to be same.

Finally I can say that this game is one of the best games in MK series and the story mode is really an amazing idea from the developer. I got only 1 complain about this, please next make the character design better. Other than the game is superb and I score it 8.5.

Wwe All Star is all about the fun of arcade gaming. The game is good and the rooster is perfect for an arcade battle between the Wwe Legends and the Wwe SuperStars. The game is developed by THQ Sandiego team and published under the name of THQ.

The game starts with a menu where you can select Exhibition match, Path of the Championship, Online and Fantasy Warfare. For the first time you can start with the exhibition menu where you can learn some moves with your buddies on other control. As there is no tutorial menu this is the best way to learn the moves before you start the Path of the Championship. Path of the Championship is the next menu in your list and here you will find 3 stories to play. First story is about defeating the Undertaker and when you start playing it you will see a very familiar face, yes its Paul who welcomes you and then comes out of the cascade the Undertaker throws some words to you. After the nice scene you will have to face 9 wrestling matches and some of them will be 3 or 4 man elimination match or some will be extreme rule matches. Every time you beat wrestlers the game gets harder so make good use of your fingers as the game is fast. When you beat the 5th or 6th match you will see another video from Undertaker. The stories are very interesting and fun. After the Undertaker story you can start the next that’s Randy Ortan the legend killer’s story. This story mode is nice too. Last one and I think the best one that is Tag Team story and you will face the best ever tag team DX. Shawn and Hunter video is pretty cool and its so much funny. They both rocks so play it and you will have serious fun. This story is the best from all of them.

Fantasy Warfare the next menu is a fight between the Legend and the Wwe SuperStar. The first match is really funny Shams Vs Ultimate Warrior, I really like Ultimate warrior and the way he fights, he was strong and too awesome but how could they match Shams (that’s what I call him) with a superb wrestler like Warrior that’s not right. After that match you will find some more legendary matches and go for it as playing these games in arcade mode is only possible Wwe All Stars.

So much for the menu, now the graphics and game play. First the Game Play for an arcade mode game is good. As the game is a fast paced and the moves are rocking. I really like the way The Rock delivers his Rock Bottom. All the special moves got a high jumping style and it looks great. The bone cracking attacks are cool too. Don’t worry as you would not see any power use or anything most unusual like the past wrestling arcade games. Hulk and Randy looks great and after so long time all wwe fans can get their hands on them to play matches with them. The entrances of the wrestlers are too short according to me, they could have made it more better, the moves are good but every wrestler got some common moves, they could have add more and separate moves to every other wrestlers too add some more fun in the game but the signatures still rocks.

The graphics is like cartoon type. I think you can not expect more from a wrestling arcade game. The wrestler looks like the Action Figures as they are all pumped and huge. The wrestlers remind me of some great wrestlers like Goldberg or Lesnar as they were huge normally. The slow motion mode when hitting the finisher or the signature looks pretty awesome. I think they could have made some wrestlers a little smaller as now Kofi or Shawn looks same as the Big Show.

Finally I suggest to all the gamers if you want to have some arcade fun this game is for you my friends but beware as the loading time of this game is so long and there isn’t any option menu to change the controls or you won’t be able to find any tutorial, so may be they will add this menus in the next installment. I rate this one as 7 out of 10. Last words the game is real fun, party playing will make this game more fun and for an arcade wrestle type game Wwe All Stars is good enough.

Thanks for the Vidz WWEGAMES.

Each weapon will have its own advantage and roles. For each different weapon players will get different finishing moves. Over 80 types of spell will be available for use in close or range combat. Each spell will have its different effect as fire will damage through burning but will also ignite the environment. Arrows will deal a great damage and will cost high. Daggers will be a great weapon when it’s used in sneak attack. SkyRim will use a NPC system called Radiant Story, where Npc will interact with its environment. Npc will start conversation with player, request a favor or even challenge for dual.

The game takes place 200 years after the event of Ovlivion. After the death of its King SkyRim is now turned into a place of civil war and the Alduin has risen. He takes a form of a dragon to destroy the world and you are the last living Dovahkin who can stop him.

The game play trailers looks awesome, Environment graphics looks really amazing, the snow fall seems pretty real, the water fall gives a nice view. The battle with monster looks almost real, sneak attacks are cool and the magic attacks are looking great too.

Finally I think this game is going to be awesome and I think if you got enough cash with yourself go for it now or get ready to make some in this summer as come Fall we need to crash the party of this evil Dragon.

In 1962 a super hero started his journey through a comic named Journey into Mystery. The creator of this super hero was Stan lee and he named him Thor. He was a son of Odin and Odin wanted his son to taught humility and placed him in a human body named Donald Blake. Blake was a medical student and when he became a doctor he went on a vacation in Norway. In here he witnessed an alien invasion. For saving his life he fled to a cave and discovered the mighty hammer of Thor Mjolnir. When he strikes it against a rock he transforms into a god of Thunder and defeated the aliens. After that incident Blake realizes that he is the mighty Thor the Norse God of Thunder from the Asgard. From then he lives among the human, joining forces like The Avengers to save the earth.

As a Norse God of Thunder Thor many god like powers. He can sense objects traveling faster then lighting. He can hear cries from other planets, can travel through time, can regenerate wounds of his body from the power of his hammer, he is immune to all the earthly diseases. Thor can transform in to a state called Warrior’s Madness which increases his strength and stamina ten times temporarily but when he is in this state he attacks everyone. Thor has the power to summon lightning, rain, wind and even snow with his hammer. Thor can lift an entire building with the power of wind and destroy it. Thor posses some control over the Earth as he is the son of Gaea.

That’s only the starting of Thor’s story for further stay tuned as the Thor is about to blow your consoles in this May 3, 2011. Thor God of Thunder is a game based on the up coming film Thor. This is the first standalone appearance of Thor in a videogame. The game is developed by Liquid Entertainment for the Ps3 and Xbox 360 version and Red Fly Studios for the Wii version. The game will be published under the name of Sega.

You will play as Thor and use his mighty Hammer to devastate enemies with his melee combos, hammer throw and blow them with the power of wind or destroy them with other elemental powers. You will earn Valor points by killing enemies and with valor point you will level up, acquire new powers, abilities and also weapon upgrades. Play the part of Odin’s son and be the ruler of Asgard.

As you guys already know that a movie is on the way but the game story is different as here Thor will be battling through numerous worlds of Norse mythology from the pages of the Comics. The Trailer seems good more like the battle system reminds me of DMC or GOW but you will find something new too as jump to the sky attack (that’s what I call it), ultimate power of wind and thunder attack and might be more to come in upcoming trailers. Although some gamers is already giving it a thumbs down I would like to tell you guys just wait for it and let it release. It is not that bad at all that you put it on the negative side, rather from the trailers I as a fan of Avengers really would love to play as this is the first stand alone game of Thor and will love to play his part from the comics. So In my point of view this game may rather not rock but will be a good start of Thor’s game series.

After 11 years Alice will be back in action in the up coming game Alice: Madness Returns. This game is a sequel of American McGee’s Alice which was released only in PC in October 6 2000. Before further a do I would like to share some experience from American McGee’s Alice.

AMA was a third person action game which was developed by Rouge Entertainment and published under the name of EA. The game took place in the universe named Wonderland. Story of that game was like Wonderland is taken over by the Queen of Heart and Alice have to save it with a help from her companion Cheshire Cat. The graphics works were really good and it received ratings like 9.4 out of 10 from IGN, 7.3 from GameSpot, 10 from GameZone and 8 from Eurogamer.

So after 11 long year’s gamers will have the chance to play as Alice in the land called Wonderland and this time the game will hit the consoles also. Alice: Madness Returns will be released for Pc, Ps3 and Xbox 360 in June 14th, 2011. The story of the game takes place after 11 years from the first game AMA. Alice is now released from Rutledge Asylum. She is in the care of London psychiatrist but the memory of her parent’s death still haunts her. So to get away from her hallucinations and internal struggle she returns to Wonderland. But once again Wonderland has been warped and Alice has to save everyone and herself. She also has to find the real reason of her parent’s death as the haunt continues.

The Trailer looks really cool, the graphics work is awesome and movements are quite nice, flying butterflies and cards here and there, Shattering glass and the chase look stunning, battle system is nice also. Just check the trailer and you will see the real deal. This game is looking really good. I am ready for this action and will be on the spot to get it as soon as its out.
