Far Cry 3 Review
Farcry 3 review
1. distance
estimated in terms of the audibility of a cry
2. a disappointing disparity
2. a disappointing disparity
Familiarity
information: FAR CRY used as a noun is rare.
Does a game that’s crammed with enough guns, action,
terrorists, drugs, and miles of paradise for you to explore and make it into
your personal playground sound enough to you? When people compare this game to
a blockbuster hit and say that “It’s a modern day Sky Rim with guns” Does it make
you raise an eyebrow and think to turn in your mythical +2 battle Axe for a
Pump action shotgun? Well, then this might be your game. We will take a peek
and see what makes this game tick and see if it goes BOOM! Welcome to Rook
Island.
"Vacation fun for the whole family!"
Right from the beginning, the game takes a turn for the
worse when a group of young adults go on a sky diving vacation trip end up
being kidnapped by a group of heavily armed warlords who hunt outsiders for
ransom. It’s up to you (Jason Brody), a mild mannered middle brother, to nut up
and shut up then save the day. The characters that you meet along the way are pretty memorable and gives the story substance. From the beautiful and mysterious "Citra", to a maniac and out of his mind "Vaas" who makes Tony Montana look second rate.The first 10 minutes are heart pounding. The
game sets you up beautifully until you are force fed a handful of revenge, then has the nerve to catapult
you into the insane, yet beautiful, Rook Island. One of the most interesting aspects of the game is the attitude and change
of the protagonist. He starts out as a
middle brother who can barely pull a trigger of a NERF gun then over time
turns into a cold hardcore killer which can make John Rambo say “DAAAMNN”.
"DAAAMN Jason, why you got to be so mean!"
There are tons of things to do in this game. Far Cry 3 can
keep a gamer busy for a long period of time by containing mini-games,
trails, big game hunts, assassination quests, treasure hunts, poker games and
herbal harvesting to craft special syringes. There are also 120 relics that you
can discover across the map which gives an “Uncharted” feel to it.The graphics
can keep your eyes glued to the screen due to light and textures created by
Cryengine 3 (Crysis 2, Crysis 3) At
first the jungle will seem very unknown and dangerous which has the potential
to swallow you whole. You can open various parts of the map by accessing the
radio towers which unlock various items on your GPS, giving you in upper hand
on your travels. Every vehicle on the island are accessible from land, air and water.
"Aim for the bushes!!!!"
The map will also indicate enemy camps which can be eliminated
stealthy and tactical or just go ape shit Rambo style. You get more XP if you dispatch
every enemy without being seen/caught. Perks can be available to you once you
accumulate enough XP to do some awesome finishers or survival tactics.
Once you
have some abilities/Perks at your disposal and some terrain under you GPS, it’s
time to party. Now you can use the jungle to your advantage by scavenging its
resources (Hunting/Harvesting) to create ammo/item packs and syringes which
will turn the tides of this one man battle. A jungle that you feared and died
from time to time is now a resource for your survival.
"You would think that if its a centimeter away, its close right?
Far Cry 3 has two multiplayer modes which can add little bit
more to the reply value. The Co-op mode
consists of 4 characters with their own personalities and goals, blasting
through various levels in search for fortune that’s rightfully theirs. Their
adventure happens months before the main story giving a brief back ground of
the island. There a perks that you can select and load outs to unlock once you
gain enough XP. This mode is fun when you are actually communicating between
each other but the magic dies down after a few runs. It’s a good a good way to
distract yourself from the main game. DLC for more co-op missions were recently
announced which are exclusive to PS3 users. These should be released early this
year.
"Real men don´t look back at explosions!!"
The actual multi-player has a few things which are new to the common FPS
shooter. Once a match is over the top three players from the winning side
present themselves beside the 1st place player from the opposing team,
all tied up and on his knees. You have the choice to execute him or free him.
Kinda cool when you have that pestering nemesis that either camps the whole
time or they are just god forsaken good! But most of it has been done which gives it a
mediocre feel. You kill, get points, gain perks, buy guns, die, mix, repeat. I would not advise you to buy this game just
for the multiplayer aspect. There are other games on the market for that. On
that note, the multiplayer modes are fun, but look at them as extras. These are
something to take a break from the main game and kill some extra time.
First Impression: The first 10 minutes leaves you in awe. The graphics are excellent and the landscapes are beautiful. From sunsets to starry skies. The magic of Cryengine.
Control: The aim and movements are up to par. But when alot of objects are running all over the place it can cause some frame rate issues. I also noticed when you are in a vehicle when a NPC is driving or in control, there can be some clipping issues, or you fall straight under the vehicle and cause you to die instantly. I hope this is patched soon.
Immersion: An involving story with memorable characters with miles and miles of land, guns, treasure, hunting, mini-games, races, multiplayer, and action. Once the first set of events unfold there is not a chance in hell im letting the controller go.There is lots to do in so little time.
"BUY IT"
I do not want to repeat myself with what this game consists of. Just check it for yourself.
Good luck and happy hunting!

Rainbow Moon Review
Rainbow Moon Review
The 90´s, sweet 90’s, Nirvana and MC Hammer, Burton and Schumacher, DBZ, Pokemon and games, lots of good games. Rainbow Moon is a love song to those old school JRPGs, and a really good song.
This game was made by eastasiasoft, a European dev team with another underrated jewel under their arm, Soldner, an exclusive shm’up for PSN which also hearkens to the 90’s.
Rainbow Moon tells the story of Balder, a warrior who (un)fortunately stumbles upon a portal that sends him to a distant planet, or rather a moon. Now he must fight his way back home through monsters, wannabe heroes and thieves. Plus, everybody believes he unleashed the monsters on the moon, adding to his troubles, but as any good JRPG; soon he allies with others, travels to exotic lands and gets involved on a wacky conspiracy.
Actually, Rainbow Moon’s history goes to a second plane and only works as a vehicle to get you all over the place fighting monsters and earning experience right and left. The fighting system is what shines on this gem so everything that surrounds it. Leveling and customization on Rainbow Moon are really detailed and immense. Everything on your party can be developed; leveling, attributes, equipment, active and passive skills, and battle formations. Leveling is based on three factors, experience, lunar coins and lunar orbs. Experience defines level which determines the cap for attributes, Lunar Orbs are used to upgrade attributes and Lunar Coins are used to buy equipment and potions and all kinda stuff to help you get through your travels. Furthermore, enemies drop materials that can be fused into armor and weapons to upgrade their attributes (or can be sold). And not forgetting skills, as usual, active skills are used during battles and passive skills are used to buff attributes and out of battles for assorted things (one of my favorites lets you grow fruit to replenish your food bar) and each has it own experience gauge. The only downside is that some are restricted to certain character, effectively limiting job customization.
In battle, the actions develops on a grid where you must displace and position your characters effectively, this simple thing opens a whole lot of interesting tactical possibilities, for example, some enemies will drop loot when defeated, the space occupied by that loot it cannot be occupied by a character so you can decide on leaving it to create a barrier to protect yourself from flanking or getting surrounded, or grab it and claim your prize. The battle system reminded me a lot of games like Valkiria Profile and a bit of Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics. The hybrid works perfectly and feels surprisingly fresh and unique regardless of the comparison. The battled have a really fluid and fast pace and never gets boring. The speed attribute is really interesting since it determines who starts the battle and how many subturns your character gets. The battles, although random, need to be triggered by the player so you can advance at your own pace, a really cool detail indeed. And surprisingly the battles never get repetitive.
FIRST IMPRESSION
Rainbow Moons does not look impressive, in fact that its weakest point. The animation looks awkward and robotic although serviceable; the character design is weak and uninspired. On a positive note, the color palette is eye candy and the environments are really varied. The music is outstanding and some tracks are memorable, the sound effects are really cool and the weird voice effects give Rainbow Moon a very distinctive personality.
CONTROL
The usual, move with the stick, press x for action, inventory to triangle. On the battles things get mixed a little, in fact one of my favorite things is how the attack command works on melee characters. Moving along the grid can be awkward but you get used fast.
IMMERSION
Although its history is not the best thing in the world, Rainbow Moon demands a lot of attention, in fact you get a trophy for playing 100 hours and another to level a character up to level 500!!! But with a platinum trophy, a fun and fresh battle system and a robust and deep customization and leveling system, investing 100 hours don’t look all that crazy.
BUY IT!!!
Rainbow Moon is a love poem to JRPG fans from and to dedicated fans, if you loved SMBRPG, FF Tactics and Valkiria Profile this game is for you, plus is a really complete experience for only 15.00 bucks

Rainbow Moon Revision (ESP)
Rainbow Moon Revision
Los noventas, los dulces noventas, Nirvana y MC Hammer , Tim Burton y Joel Schumacher, Goku, Pokemon y por supuesto juegos, muchos y muy buenos juegos. Rainbow Moon es una canción de amor por aquellos JRPG de antaño, y una muy buena por cierto. Este juego fue desarrollado por Eastasiasoft, un equipo de desarrollo europeo que anteriormente habían desarrollado Soldner, un excelente shm’up exclusivo para la PSN que también se siente como un tributo a los juego de los noventas.
Rainbow Moon cuenta la historia de Balder, un guerrero que por (des)fortuna termina siendo transportado a un mundo lejano al suyo, bueno más bien dicho a una luna lejana a su mundo, en donde debe de pelear contra hordas de monstruos, héroes papanatas y ladrones para encontrar una manera de regresar a casa. No ayuda mucho el hecho de que todos lo culpan de los monstruos invasores, pero como en todo buen RPG poco a poco se va haciendo de aliados, viajando a tierras inhóspitas y desentramando una conspiración locochona.
En realidad la historia de Rainbow Moon pasa a segundo plano y es poco trascendental, más bien sirve como vehículo para andar de aquí para allá peleando con criaturas y haciendo experiencia a diestra y siniestra. Lo que realmente destaca de esta joyita es el sistema de batallas y todo lo que gira en torno a este. Las opciones de personalización y desarrollo de personajes son muy detallados e inmensos. Cada aspecto de tu grupo puede ser desarrollado, niveles de experiencia, equipamiento, atributos, habilidades pasivas y activas, y formaciones de batalla. El desarrollo de los personajes depende de tres cosas, experiencia, monedas lunares y orbes lunares. La experiencia define el nivel de tu personaje lo cual determina el tope de los atributos que se pueden desarrollar; los orbes lunares se utilizan para mejorar los atributos de los personajes; las monedas lunares para comprar equipo, pociones y demás artilugios. Además de que los enemigos constantemente dejan materiales que se utilizan para aumentar los atributos de tu equipo (u obtener más dinero). Y todo sin contar las habilidades; clásico, las habilidades activas se utilizan en las batallas y las pasivas aumentan atributos o funcionan fuera de las batallas para diferentes cosas (una de mis favoritas sirve para obtener fruta y llenar la barra de comida) y cada una cuenta con su propia barra de experiencia. Aunque algunas están restringidas a solo unos personajes lo que limita la flexibilidad para asignar roles en batalla.
Ya dentro de las batallas la acción se desarrolla en una cuadricula en donde debes desplazar a tus unidades y posicionarlas en donde sea mas adecuado, esto abre unas posibilidades tácticas muy interesantes, por ejemplo, algunos enemigos dejan recompensas al ser derrotados, esos espacio se consideran ocupados así que puedes decidir entre dejar el espacio ocupado para evitar ser flanqueado o rodeado por enemigos o recoger los despojos y reclamar la recompensa. De hecho me hizo recordar mucho a los juegos de valkiria profile, con una pizca de tactics ogre y final fantasy tactis; es un hibrido que funciona muy bien, y a pesar de las comparaciones, se siente fresco y único. El ritmo de las batallas es muy fluido y rápido asi que nunca te aburres de pelear. Algo muy interesante es como funciona el atributo de velocidad, ya que no solo determina quien comienza el turno sino también cuantos subturnos pueden utilizarse. Otra cosa interesante es que las batallas aunque son aleatorias deben ser iniciadas por el jugador asi que puedes avanzar al ritmo que quieras y aunque increíble, las batallas nunca se sienten repetitivas.
PRIMERA IMPRESIÓN
Rainbow Moon no luce muy impresionante, de hecho es el punto más débil del juego. Las animaciones son un tanto raras y acartonadas pero funcionan, el diseño de personajes es poco inspirado y falto de personalidad, pero el juego luce una paleta de colores muy atractiva y escenarios muy variados. Lo que si es destacable es el apartado sonoro que cuenta con muchas piezas memorables, los efectos de sonido, incluyendo las voces de los personajes, dan mucha personalidad al juego.
CONTROLES
Lo usual de un RPG, te mueves con el análogo, x es el botón de acción y triangulo para entrar a inventario, varia un tanto en las batallas y de hecho una de mis cosas favoritas es como funciona el comando de ataque directo; moverse en la cuadricula de batalla puede ser un poco raro pero es fácil agarrarle la onda.
INMERSION
Aunque la historia no es nada del otro mundo, Rainbow Moon demanda mucha atención, de hecho dos un trofeo requiere que juegues 100 horas y otro que lleves a un personaje al nivel 500!!! Hay trofeo platino, el sistema de peleas es fresco y divertido, las opciones de desarrollo de personajes son muy robustas. Con todo lo que Rainbow Moon ofrece, 100 horas de juego no suenan tan descabelladas.
COMPRALO!!!
Rainbow Moon es un poema de amor a los JRPG y sus fans, si disfrutaste de Mario RPG, FF tactics o Valkiria Profile, este juego es para ti, además ofrece una experiencia muy completa por solo 15.00 USD.

El asombroso Hombre Araña - Revisión.
El asombroso Hombre Araña - Revisión.
¡Hey! ¡Puedo ver mi departamento desde aqui!
Hola hola verdaderos creyentes! Un nuevo juego del Hombre Araña ha llegado a nosotros. Ha habido varios de estos juegos de telarañas a través de la historia de las consolas. Pero cuando los tiempos cambian, igualmente lo hacen las mecánicas, así como lo que los jugadores esperan ver. Así que, ¿El Hombre Araña logrará vencer el enemigo de estándares modernos, o será vencido por las arenas del tiempo? ¡Sigue sintonizado para descubrir a los gurús de los video juegos! ¡Excelsior!
"Mi sentido común está vibrando..."Este juego se desarrolla unos días después de la película, dándote un vistazo de los siguientes capítulos hacia donde podría dirigirse. El comienzo del juego tiene un genial aspecto. Oscorp parece estar tramando algo nada bueno mientras haces un pequeño recorrido (o lo que yo llamo un Half-Life intro) en las instalaciones con la encantadora Gwen Stacy. Antes de que puedas decir Peter Parker pica papas, todo se va al demonio. "Especies cruzadas" o lo que me gusta llamar "B-listers del Hombre Araña " corren rampantes e incluso causando una epidemia debido a las consecuencias de la investigación del Dr. Connors.Los B-Listers necesitan amor también.....
El juego toca un poco de fantasía de historieta, que no verás en las películas, como robots gigantes cazadores de arañas y fluido de telaraña que parece nunca se te acabará. (Lo cual no es malo) Balanceándote a través de la ciudad, en alta definición es divertido pero no es mucha la diferencia. Si la historia principal es demasiado cliché entonces puedes condimentarla un poco con una gran cantidad de misiones alternas, deteniendo crímenes pequeños o ayudando los infectados en el hospital. Estos aspectos pueden resultar bastante repetitivos algunas veces. El sistema de combate no es riguroso. Puedes notar pequeñas fallas en los efectos de sonido así como las cajas de hits una vez que entran en contacto. La vieja tela araña tiene trucos/habilidades que se te permiten comprar con tu bien ganada experiencia. El juego se pone más interesante una vez que has colocado estas útiles habilidades. También, entre más absorbes golpes evasivos, lásers, o ácido el traje del personaje comienza a deteriorarse. (Daño de batalla)
"Éste es un trabajo para.........¡¡¡Los Vengadores!!!"Todos los elementos del juego son divertidos, pero nada memorables o épicos. No me veo a mi mismo dentro de 5 años en la reminiscencia de los cuentos del Hombre Araña. A pesar de ser fanático de las historietas de éste super héroe, estaba esperando algo diferente para éstos tiempos modernos. Pero es relajante/divertido salir del trabajo, encender la consola y balancearte por las calles de Manhattan. Haciendo lo mejor que una araña puede hacer al no dejar que todo se vaya al demonio.
Primera Impresión: Este juego tiene brillo. Disfruté la introducción. Volar por Manhattan es maravilloso en alta definición. Los fotogramas en las batallas masivas de jefes son bastante rígidas.
Control: El sistema de batalla es un poco fuera de sí. Esquivar y golpear no son ceñidos. Los ángulos de la cámara a veces están desajustados cuando te arrastras. Balancearse y lanzar telaraña si están muy bien ajustados.
Inmersión: La linea de la historia no es bastante épica, a pesar de que Manhattan está a punto de irse al infierno. Una vez que comienzas a ganar más habilidades, comienzas a realmente relacionarte con las interacciones del juego. (riñas, telarañas, tecnología, etc.) Encontrar historietas a través del juego es de hecho, bastante genial y educativo. Cuando encuentras suficientes ilustraciones desbloqueas historietas clásicas del Hombre Araña.
¡¡¡RÉNTALO!!
Ultimas Palabras:
"Web-Swing!" "Web-Ball" "Spider Sting!" "ULTIMATE SPIDER!!!" Me gusta este araña mejor!

The Amazing Spiderman review
The Amazing Spider-man Review
Hello there True Believers! Another Spider-man game has set upon us. There has been quite a few of these web-crawling games through out console history. But when times change, so does the mechanics as well as what gamers are expecting to see. So, will Spider-Man succeed in vanquishing the enemy of modern standards, or will he be defeated by the sands of time? Stay tuned to find out video game gurus! Excelsior!
First Impression: The game has gloss. I enjoyed the intro. Flying through Manhattan looks awesome in HD. The massive boss battle frame rates are pretty stiff.
Control: The battle system is a bit off. Dodging and hitting are not tight. The camera angles are sometimes mis-adjusted when wall crawling. Web-swinging and Web-zip are pretty fine tuned.
Immersion: The story line is not quite as epic, even though Manhattan is on the verge of going to hell. Once you start gaining more abilities, you start getting involved with the interactions of the game. (Brawling, webbing, Tech, etc.) Finding comics throughout the game is actually pretty cool and educative. When you find enough illustrations you unlock actual vintage comics of Spider-Man!
Last Words:
"Web-Swing!" "Web-Ball" "Spider Sting!" "ULTIMATE SPIDER!!!" I like this spider better.

Hey! I can see my apartment from here!
Hello there True Believers! Another Spider-man game has set upon us. There has been quite a few of these web-crawling games through out console history.

So, will Spider-Man succeed in vanquishing the enemy of modern standards, or will he be defeated by the sands of time? Stay tuned to find out video game gurus! Excelsior!
"Common-sense is tingling..."
This game takes place days after the movie, giving you a glimpse on what the next chapters may move towards. The beginning of the game has a great look. Oscorp seems to be up to no good as you take a small tour (or what I like to call a "Half-Life" intro) into its facilities with the lovely Gwen Stacy. Before you can say "Peter Parker, pepper, pickle" Everything goes to hell. "Cross Species" or more what I like to call Spider-mans "B-Listers" run rampant and also causing an epidemic due to the consequences of Dr. Connors research.
B-Listers need love too.....
The game touches on some comic book fantasy which you will not see in the movies. Like gigantic spider hunting robots and web fluid which you do not seem to run out of. (which is not a bad thing) Swinging through the city in HD is fun but nothing really different. If the main story is too cliche then you can spice things up with a handful of side quests, meanwhile stopping petty crimes or helping the infected to a hospital. These aspects can also prove to be quite repetitive at times. The combat system is not tight. You can see minor flaws in the sound effects as well as the hit boxes once it comes into contact. Old Web head has some
tricks/abilities which you can buy with your hard earned experience points. The game actually gets more interesting once you have your set of these useful abilities. Also, the more you suck at dodging blows, lasers, or acid, you characters suit starts deteriorating. (Battle Damage)
"This is a job for.........The Avengers!!!"
All in all this game is fun, but nothing memorable or epic. I cant see myself 5 years down the road reminiscing about this Spider´s Tale. Even though I am a Comic fan of this Super Hero, I was hoping for something different for these modern times. But it does feel relaxing/fun getting out of work, firing up the game console, and swinging through the streets of Manhattan. Doing the best a spider can by not letting everything go to hell in a hand-basket.

BATMAN: ARKHAM Prequel *NEWS*
BATMAN: ARKHAM Prequel
![]()
Batfans will be glad to hear this epic installment of our caped crusader. It will take place in the "Silver age" of comics around the mid 1956 to 1970s. This will also introduce The Justice League of America. (JLA) This originally involved Superman, Bat-Man, Aqua-man, Flash, Green-Lantern, Martian Man-Hunter, and Wonder-Women. This star studded cast is probably a way to advertise or make them well known to the public for their upcoming movie coming out in 2015. The story is also going to revolve around the first meeting with the Joker. I wonder if you can play as Aqua-Man.......would that even be epic?
