The Sabotuer is a game based on Word War II like other dozen games, which are good recipe for boredom. However, The Saboteur is not a war game otherwise it is a story of personal vengeance about an incident happens in Paris during Word War II. This game includes 1940s trappings, old fashioned weapons, painful opponent and monotonous setting but it has only a few common with Word War II. The game is free roaming adventure game with a mission structure like that of Grand Theft Auto. Once we cover the clash between real war and over the top portrayal, The Saboteur seems to be a good time. The release of this game is one of the good surprises of 2009. The Sabotuer games claims to be based on a true story revolving around Irishman racing car driver, Sean Devlin who accidentally gets involved in the struggle between Nazis and British Government and then forced to flee to Paris after the war breaks out. In Paris, Sean occupied himself in drink and  [...]

When Assassin Creed I came out, the graphics engine was quite similar to Prince of Persia – The Two Thrones. But we welcomed it as we couldn’t get enough of Altair jumping seamlessly on roof toops and killing with those sexy maneuvers. Assassin’s Creed II is here and they have made it even better. The improvements made in this will make you wonder why Ubisoft didn’t do all this in first title. Ubisoft made lots of money from Assassins Creed which because it was selling like hot cakes due to the eye candy put in. Our hero in this game is Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who is a spoilt 17 year old son of a wealthy banker. He spends his time and money on women and fights with local gangs in the beautiful city of Venice. However things take a turn around for the teenager when he finds out that his father isn’t just a banker. His father later on gets killed along with his sons (except Ezio, of course) and now  [...]

We have been fans of Grand Theft Auto series and there is something new in every game which we look forward too. Although GTA IV had some frustrating moments, all that has been taken care of in this installment and The Ballad of Gay Tony (TBOGT) is arguably now one of the best games of the GTA series. In TBOGT you are Louis Lopez, a Dominican who is the body guard of Tony Price or Gay Tony. The latter is the owner of one of the biggest straight and gay bars around the town. You are a loyal servant to Gay Tony who takes his employer out of his current state of crisis. Gay Tony has been suffering from bad reputation and is also suffering from losses in business. The game features Liberty City’s glamorous night life, hot women, fast cars and mugging that we have known previous GTA titles to feature. Your employer, Gay Tony, is a big man in the Liberty City, you get to visit his clubs and spend time around. Now there are mini games in this title  [...]

We all know that has been going down hill of late and last installments like Black edition and Prostreet were like final nails in the coffin. Die hard NFS enthusiasts are turning towards titles like Gran Turismo. But Need for Speed are back with Shift which has drastic changes made to its game engine. The developers have ditched the story interface that we have been playing since Underground and now you get a shut-up-and-race environment. Yes! The good old race track days are back and this time they have even more eye candy. In Shift, you are a guy who keeps racing to climb up the ladder and eventually wins the World Tour. We don’t know how you will take abrupt end of story type theme that NFS has been having but we certainly liked these new look. In the first race, you get to choose the difficulty level which will remain the same throughout the game. But you can change it if you are not happy with the default settings that come. You earn money when you win races and you  [...]

This one is something which I guess everyone who played the world tour was surely looking out for. Whenever there is a new addition to an existing game, what is expected most of the time are certain improvements to the existing game. Being a gamer this was exactly what I expected, not a total overhaul but just a few improvements here and there or probably just some clearing of the mess that was created in the last game. And if you are amongst the ones who were looking out for then u surely wont be let down by this new edition. I won’t say that GH has totally revamped the music-game genre but it has for sure tried to fill in the existing patches with a few tweaks here and there. Anyways coming back to the game, starting off with the game software and the on-disc catalogue. The on-disc song catalogue exactly won’t set your toes tapping but its quite a balanced collection. There are a few songs which aren’t surely  [...]

Well, there would be hardly anyone who has not heard about the Batman, but if you’re not into comics then surely you need to know what the Arkham Asylum is all about. This immortal psychiatric ward had housed most of the villains that Batman has ever come  across. And now this same psychiatric hospital is the background for some fantabulous third person action gaming. Moving ahead, if you are an ardent batman comic reader you will come across many familiar faces at the asylum and if you are not, no worries. This game has the history of every character related to it along with their motivations for being there. As far as the story is concerned, batman has captured joker and is being returned to the arkham asylum under the watchful eyes of the batman. Well, as always joker surely has something going on in his mind and seems to be least bothered by this imbroglio. Infact, he makes up a plan of a grand party at the asylum and voila… the guest of honour is none other than our hero batman.  [...]
