360 & PS3 Thumbs - All review all the time!

 
News on Xbox 360 and PS3 upcoming titles, and sometimes even the wii.

DJ Hero

This game was an attempt of something new from the people of Guitar Hero. The game has good remixed tracks just the only thing that is not fun about it is that a DJ in real life has many more functions they must preform, for example more then one knob and slider. The other downside to this that you can only play with one instrument with a few select songs that you can play with a guitar by your side. So it is like that went back a few paces when they released this game. Something else that you have to do is play career mode to unlock songs. Sure it has a point but then again sometimes you just want to be able to try out a song also. They could have put a little bit more time into this game, and DJ Hero 2 is coming up here soon, hopefully they will make plenty of revisions to this game. The game is not nearly as hard as guitar hero is either. After just half a day you can be playing on expert mode since their is only 3 buttons and 1 slider that you HAVE to use. Since you do not need to use the knob or star power. The neat thing they did with this was the ability to do some extra things and the reverse feature which is nice to score them extra points and is cool since you get to sort of remix the song more. Some of the songs are a bit iffy to me, but that’s just me.


6/10 – I think they could have done plenty to spice up this game. Giving it higher graphics, maybe more then 3 buttons? Something a little harder. More customization, be able to make your own remixes would be awesome to do also.

UFC 2010: Undisputed

This game has been improvement a lot since is 2009 release. Their is many new characters to choose from and exclusive fighters only for the PS3.
8.5/10 Career Mode -
This new career mode remake for this game is much better. Making it more lifelike and slightly harder to get a hold of, but once you get a hold of how the career mode works starts becoming easier. You have to go to camps to train new moves and do objectives they have their. Then you have to keep all your stats and attributes up or they will start to fall. So their is a lot more balancing in this game. To earn points to spend in attributes you have to spar with your partner and earn points that way. The game has cut scene’s which is also nice to see every once in a while. Can get repetitive after long hours of straight game play in career mode. So need to take breaks from the game.

9/10 Other Modes (Exhibition, Ultimate Fights, etc,.)
Their is many things you can do other then career mode in this game, and that includes the online matchmaking. Exhibition is fun to do if you want to versus a computer very quickly in a certain weight class or you can watch computers fight even if you want to. If you have the PS3 version then you can watch 4 UFC Fights with the REAL footage of them. Ultimate Fights mode if you do the exact same thing that they did in real life you unlock a short REAL life clip of the knockout actually happening. The matchmaking is nice also just some people like to use take downs or spam certain things. The tournament mode is nice if you are having a local tournament or if you are just having any kind of tournament really, it is a nice feature to have.

9/10 Overall – Game is far better then the 2009 version. Slightly better graphics, better career mode, better modes, and overall easier and better controls and game play seems to flow much easier and smoother.

Halo: ODST

This is a game that seemed to be more of a promotional stunt done by Bungie to try to keep the spotlight on them more. You take the roll as a ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper) and you are your squad get shot down and are descending onto the planet, when things go wrong and every one of the team members gets split up. Now its up the the Rookie to find his squad mates and what their fates where. You play as the Rookie as you are just becoming a ODST but soon must take on great responsibilities. The biggest hit to this game was Firefight mode.

Which is like Horde mode for Gears of War 2. It became a very hard challenge and offered people a new experience. The campaign was rather short but had some affect on what else happened where master chief was not at. You get to see a city get ravaged and devastated. And with the addition of then new covenant force a Engineer, they gave all the covenant forces overshields including grunts and drones within its radius. The only weakness they have is to charge a plasma pistol shot and hit them with it, in which they overload and explode, though the pieces that fly from it explode on impact so look out.

Now the other big thing to this game was the Silenced SMG and the Pistol was back with a scope on it and was also silent. Another change was that you had to use Night Vision in some areas, and you could see invisible Brute Stalkers extremely easier. If you were stealth on this game it usually did pay off. Bungie made it to wear if you were using a silenced weapon they would not know where the shot had come from so they would go and scout around. Now the AI become much smarter in terms of battling and knew what to do more often then they did in Halo 3. The main thing that came with this game was for a Beta code to Halo: Reach when the beta launched and for the Halo 3 Multiplayer Disk which came with EVERY Halo 3 map with all expansion maps, including 3 new ones on the Mythic Map Pack II, which wasnt released until not to long ago. So having this was a big advantage.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Modern Warfare 2 is a fast paced FPS with very good graphics and good smooth storyline even though the storyline is shorter then most games. I might as well cover story mode first and work my way up.

Playstation Move

The PlayStation move is something that is going to revolutionize gaming. People may think its going to be just like the Wii but they are very mislead. See the controllers design is very unique right off the bat, the game controller makes you feel like your actually holding something that is comfortable to hold and is designed to make it feel very comforting in your hands.

Now many don't like the look of the part of the design that makes you look like you are holding a ice cream cone. But the thing is that inside of that "cone" part is a six-axis camera that gives accurate information on your person in real life with no lag or delay

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

This new expansion is going to be changing World of Warcraft in many ways. Azeroth will never be the same again.

Taking that their is many multiple changes happening to the land. Un’goro Crater for example has dinosaurs and a volcano in the middle and is very grassy. The volcano is going to erupt leaving the place not green no more. The barrens will now have a huge gap down the middle of it. So many changes are happening. Some of the more bigger ones are the two new classes. Worgens are for the alliance, they are werewolves and they seem to be promising. You will walk around as a human but as soon as you attack or get attacked you transform into a werewolf. The horde now get the goblins. Which will most likely be very good asset to the horde. Now they have a equal to the gnomes and dwarfs of the alliance. Always having to fight the little things was so hard now we have a fighter who is short also! But yes that means that all goblin cities will now be on the Hordes side

Call of Duty: Black Ops

The new step in this series. It is going to be made by Treynarch which is the other company that also uses the Call of Duty title name. They made Call of Duty: World at War, which put people back in WWII yet again. The biggest hit of this game was not the multiplayer or the campaign, but it was the nazi zombie mode that made this famous. So for Black Ops you guessed it, zombie mode is back but with Vietnam this time being featured in it. The games story mode is supposed to be jumping in between differnt wars so who knows if the story line will be good or not. The multiplayer does look promising however. In the trailers for the game they have people that are wielding a knife and another that is holding a crossbow. These weapons are a lot different then the common weapons we are used to seeing in war. Though their is supposed to be many weapons these two are completely different and could be very fun to use. It is rumored that you can only use the 3 default killstreaks and you can not change these kill streaks. Radar, a little car that you drive and have to blow up people with it, and another. Maybe they will add a few more to the list for you to have some customization. Now the reason they are not doing it like Modern Warfare 2 is because of the reason behind it being that their is balancing issues in MW2 with certain things. Like the killstreaks for example, some of them blow while others rock and higher levels always had better killstreaks which always is not fair to beginners. Now with only having a limited number of killstreaks everyone has a fair chance of winning and getting killstreaks. Everyone loves the feeling of getting a killstreak. So i believe that is their plan is just to have a more balanced game then MW2. This game is supposed to rival MW2 in multiplayer so who knows.
