From the group that brought you resident evil franchise. then devil may cry which start of the whole extreme/hardcore combat era. this time they come up with a new fast pace action combat call Vanquish.

 Vanquish is a fast pace TPS game which is for the xbox 360 and playstation 3. you play Sam Gideon, a arrogant DARPA researcher equipped with ARS suit to stop the Russian terrorist from activating a space station super weapon from activating while saving a proffer which aboard that station

The graphic is not bad. its a futuristic war environment and with all the adrenaline rush. you actually feel like in war. the storyline is pretty much as it is. there a start, a middle, a climax and the end.

What i can tell you about this game is that it is simple and super fast. the gameplay lets you control a suit that have a sliding dash type that lets you slide to one cover to another quickly. TOO quick. it also have an slow time if your aiming while sliding and also cool cinematic battle. there not much to the weaponry since there a few but it can be upgraded to improve the weapon stats. Mostly everything you do in this game use an energy; your dash, your slow time, even your melee which is kinda annoying to those who prefer close combat.

This game really bring back the old school game where there not much to the plot and is fast pace action pack game. in fact it is to fast you just might end the game in less than 4 hours. but its a good game and there are still room for improvement. i give vanquish a 3.5/5.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Its not that easy finding an adventure game ever since Devil may cry franchise and God of war won people attention. a lot of game tried to meet player attention and would say? "its a rip off". but Ninja theory manage to pull it off with thier game Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is a tactical action adventure game for the xbox and ps3 developed by Ninja Theory and published by Namco. the game is set 150 years in the post apocalyptic future where human lost a global war to the mechs. the game starts as the protagonist name monkey manage to escape a slave ship with a women name trip. the plane crash and he was save by trip which ironically she put a control headband on monkey head where if she dies, he will die too. she promise to take it off if only monkey help her to home to the west. Its loosely base on a Chinese novel journey to the west.

the game graphic is breath taking. for a post apocalyptic future. they really put on a forestation environment to make it as if its a new world. the design for the characters is also great including variety of enemy design.the storyline is light, making it easy to understand the main point of the story without going to have to understand the whole world history and just focus on the character development. the voice acting match up for the character personality and have its personal aura for it too.

but theres con to it; there no much to its gameplay.the scenario is a bit too short and theres not much challenge to it. you get to use monkey skill as to jump here and there but there's too many invincible wall so making it hard to know where to go and once you hit the next checkpoint its hard to backtrack. the battle system is pretty straight forward; its a cool combo and you can upgrade it to improve combat but you're limited to one combo so dont expect any flashy-mashy button style. you dont have to worry much though. even if the game is about to make sure trip doesn't get killed, its not really that of a escort mission. you could play this game without having to worry that much about trip.

Even with all these con, i would still recommend you to play this game. the storyline is well planned and the flow of the game still make it a worth while game for those who are looking for a focused single player experience. i give it a 4 out of 5

Castlevania Lords of Shadow

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a Xbox 360 game publish from Konami and develope by Mercurysteam. Its a reboot to the Castlevania franchise and have no connection to the previous version. The story is set in 1047 during "the end of days". Brotherhoods of light, an elite group of holy knight sent Gabriel Belmont (the protagonist) on a quest to save the world arm with a whip called the Combat Cross. while he's at it, he is on a personal quest to fine his beloved wife murderer.

The storyline is abit to light. its like your just walking from level to level without few story development. buts its not that bad. Gabriel is voiced by Robert Carlyle( The world is not enough, eragon) and his mentor his voiced by Sir Patrick Steward ( Star track the next generation, x-men). 
You can expect a good voice over and since Hideo Kojima gave a helping hand in it's developement. you can know for sure its a game u wont want to miss.


While the game is a reboot form the previous franchise, the game is not really that 'castlevania' since most of its battle are mostly on the outside that range from a decaying village to a hand grabbing swamp to a music box....it sounds funny/cute but it's actually kinda cool.

The battle system is pretty much the same as before; battling from goblin, vampires, werewolves to colossal titans using a whip. This time you can see a a lot more of the whip action rather than a gymnast with a ribbon. you can slice, dice, grab and pummel enemies. there is also a quick time action for grabs and certain cinematic battle. you can also upgrade you whip to add more of its destruction level. but can be a bit toooo pricey. and it take a while to get use to the battle system so expect alot of dying.

in the nutshell, its a good game. its pretty much similiar to God Of War but nowaday, which game cant be compared to that game. and i say its a pretty much a very good game. so good i'l give it a 4/5.
