Assassin's Creed 3 Game Review 

Developer : Ubisoft Montreal

Publisher : Ubisoft

Released : October 30, 2012

  Assassin's Creed 3 continues Desmond Miles journey through the life of his ancestors. 

Looking through the eyes of Connor, Desmond's Native American ancestor who is 

fighting the Templar control over colonial America. 

Assassin's Creed 3 has brought back and improved on many of the features of the series

while adding several new features such as hunting, naval battles and an active weather

system.The hunting system is deep and lets you use bait and traps to take down your prey or

you can wait in a tree for a deer to walk by then pounce. The naval battles are an 

excellent new feature. Players can pilot the ship Aquila and fire its guns. In Battles with the

ship you are given control of the ships main cannons to launch a barrage of cannon balls or

smaller guns for precision strikes. 

 The game feels authentic and breathes life into the history it portrays. Meeting 

historical figures feels genuine, without going over the top. During game play,

running though Boston or climbing through the tree tops on the frontier, this game 

looks and plays extremely well. This is a great game to own for its 

endless replay value. 

We would highly recommend this game

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Game Review

 Set in the near future, Black Ops 2 has you take on the role of David Mason son of 

Alex Mason from the previous game. You are tasked with finding Raul Menendez who has

been a target of the C.I.A for many years. 

 The near future setting allows for some interesting moments in the game play, like flying 

a wing suit into battle and fighting it out on a resort in the middle of the ocean. The new 

Zombie mode is more in depth and has unique weapons and equipment that help you

fight off the never ending horde of undead. The multi-player is still one of the best out

there with interesting  maps and endless customization.

New to Black Ops 2 is Strike Force Missions, which give you control of soldiers, robots

and other assets to defend an area. These missions have an effect on other

Strike Force Missions as well as Story Missions. 

All in all this is another Call Of Duty game with all the polish and flash of all the 

games in the series. We couldn't help but notice how similar it is to all the previous 

games. 

We would recommend this game to fans of the series.

GOTHAM CITY IMPOSTORS Free To Play Game Review

  Gotham City Impostors is now free to play and delivers an excellent multi-player

shooter set in the Batman Universe. Each team fights for the Bats or the Jokerz

and dress as there respective hero's.  After playing the beta of this game we 

looked forward to it's free to play release. 

  There are four different game modes  Fumigation, Psych Warfare,  Bounty Hunter,

and Team Death Match. Fumigation has control points that produce gas. As your

team holds more control points, the enemy team will be knocked out by the gas.

Psych Warfare is similar to capture the flag but the flag is a battery that when

attached to your teams speakers it will stun the enemy team. When Playing

Bounty Hunter mode, when enemy's are killed they drop coins and if you pick up

the coins from downed teammates you prevent the enemy team from gaining

points. Team Death Match has the teams going at each other to see who can rack

up 50 kills. The game also includes a challenge mode for the different weapons in the 

game which you can play to gain experience. 

  As you level up you will be granted different unlocks to customise your weapons 

kill streak bonuses, gadgets and other upgrades. After each match you will be 

shown your unlocks and be given custom coins to buy upgrades to your 

characters appearance. 

 This game uses the Batman theme well and has unique weapons and gadgets

like a blunderbuss that fires parrots and and a glider that allows you to fly and dive

bomb enemies. 

We would highly recommend this game.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier Game Review 

Developer : Ubisoft 

Publisher : Ubisoft 

Released : May 22, 2012 

  Ghost Recon is a globe trotting tactical shooter. The story centers around 

a squad of highly trained Ghost Recon soldiers that use high tech equipment 

to and gain an advantage on the battlefield. The team is tasked with investigating

an explosion and uncover a secret organization called Ravens Rock. 

  As you are playing through the campaign you are joined by four A.I. teammates. 

You can order them to focus on enemy's that are pinning you down. You can also 

select four enemy's for your squad to take out at the same time, allowing you to remain 

stealthy. A main feature of game play is adaptive camouflage, allowing players to remain        

unseen as long as one does not run or shoot. During missions you will be told that

detection will result in  mission failure .  Switching  between these features allows the

game to become more action oriented and changes the pace of combat.  

  Multi-player has two teams fight in two squads for different objectives . Each member

of a squad can have squad mates respawn next to them allowing them to assist you on the

battlefield faster. Teams that work well together will win a match faster and online play 

fosters team work. 

 We would recommend this game

 Welcome to Sao Paulo, Brazil where you are back into the middle aged shoes of 

Max Payne.  He is protecting a rich business man and his family in what's is

supposed to be an easy gig. Things take a quick turn for the worse when the

bosses wife is kidnapped and it is up to you to get her back. 

  The game play is focused on action movie style fast paced shooting. One of the 

main features of the game is "Bullet Time" . "Bullet Time" allows you to slow

down time, it can be combined with a dive to throw off an enemy's aim and

pick them off while airborne. Even though "Bullet Time" has been used before , this

game makes it feel fresh by allowing you to see enemy bullets fly around

you and see your own bullets travel to the target.

  Max Payne 3 does an amazing job of telling a story and allowing you to feel 

the limitations of the aging character without letting it effect game play.

The graphics in this game are realistic and gritty with stylised effects that

are completely unique and give this game a very realistic feel. 

  This game is not to be missed we highly recommend it.

  Tribes Ascend is a futuristic class based shooter with the speed of 

of a racing game. The game focus is online multi-player between 

two tribes, the Blood Eagles and the Diamond Sword in several 

game modes. This game is very good looking with planets and 

giant buildings making maps feel  interesting and unique. 

  What makes Tribes unusual is Skiing. Skiing allows the player to 

build momentum using the environment and a jet pack. As players go 

downhill they gain speed as they approach an upslope. One can use 

the jet pack to keep the momentum and build upon it. This makes 

for fast game play and a challenge when trying to hit an enemy 

player traveling at top speed. 

  There are three class types with three variants. These include light,

medium, and heavy armor. The light classes are Pathfinder, Sentinel and Infiltrator.

These classes are all about speed and surprising  bigger opponents.  

The medium classes are Raider, Soldier and the Technician, these 

classes focus on blending speed and power. The Heavy armor 

classes are Brute, Doombringer and Juggernaut, these classes 

sacrifice speed for damage. 

Tribes Ascend has a big learning curve but once you attain the skills to ski 

and hit enemies you will have a great time with this free to play shooter.

We would highly recommend this game.

   Earth is under attack by the reapers and it is up to commander Shepard

to save it and the universe. What are the reapers,  they are an ancient 

race of aliens who are bent on destroying all organic life in the universe. 

It is up to you to gain support of each alien race to help in the counter-attack

against the reapers.

     You can start the game with an imported character form Mass Effect 2 or 

select a new one and pick from a list of choices that players could have been made in 

the previous Mass Effect games. The game play is as good as always with strong

cover based combat system and bionic powers.  New weapons and armor are

upgraded as you buy a new model for each weapon and different pieces of armor.

  You spend most of the game trying to build political and military support for the 

battle against the Reapers, but there is a disconnect between the urgency 

that you are told you need, the support, and the amount of time you 

spend gaining this support. 

 Overall this is an excellent game but you may feel a little lost if you haven't played 

all of the games in this series. 

 We do highly recommend this game, and if you have played Mass Effect 1 & 2, this 

game is a must have.

   Starhawk is the successor to 2007's  Warhawk, but a lot has

changed in 5 years earning Starhawk the new title. As you begin

a multi-player game you are dropped from the sky in a pod and

from there you will rely on your team to win a match. Each team

is given a home base  where you can acquire weapons and vehicle's 

and bring them to the battlefield. As you and your teammates fight

the enemy team you earn energy to build defenses and new bases.

This allows for a lot of fun, and strategic use of buildings can give you

the advantage in battle. 

  The main vehicle in this game is the "Hawk" a large robotic fighting 

machine that can transform in to a jet at any time. The first time you 

transform your "Hawk' you will be amazed. There is also the Razorback

a futuristic dune buggy that can carry three players and has an attached 

machine gun on the back. Last but not least is the jet pack that allows

player hover around the battlefield . 

  Starhawk has everything that we loved about Warhawk and takes 

it to the next level and beyond. We can not wait to get out hands 

on the finished game.
