2. Review of Assassin’s Creed II on Playstation3 & Xbox 360

They’ve made a lot of things better in this version, but I’m still not very happy with the slow frame rate. The bottom line is that Assassin’s Creed II is definitely a fun game and I’m glad I got it.

Xbox 360
Assassin’s Creed II has pretty much exactly the same type of gameplay as the original Assassin’s Creed, so if you liked to play the first one you’ll like the way the second one plays too. If you didn’t like the original, this version won’t give you anything new that you would like more. If you did enjoy Assassin’s Creed, you’ll really like the upgrades to the familiar game format that you get with Assassin’s Creed II. The game developers really went all out to create a top notch gaming experience.

This updated to Assassin’s Creed is an improvement on almost every level. The story is more engaging, there are more missions, and you have more items to use. The overall feel of Assassin’s Creed II is more like a role-playing game than a standard action adventure. You get to interact more with your environment, and you can buy equipment and upgrade it along the way. The realistic style is also enhanced by your ability to go to the doctor and purchase medicines.

The game is visually stunning. The Italian Renaissance is a fascinating era to explore, and this game gives you the freedom to interact with your surroundings quite a bit. You get to explore these Italian cities during one of the most interesting times in history, and you can even interact with famous people like Leonardo da Vinci. I hope you enjoy the review.

Batman Arkham Asylum

Batman: Arkham Asylum opens with Batman escorting a recently captured Joker back into Arkham Asylum, prison for the criminally insane. Curiously, the Clown Prince of Crime has made things all too easy and Batman is suspicious. Despite his vigilance, however, the Joker manages to break free and it quickly becomes apparent that he’s been pulling the strings all along. The Joker controls Arkham Asylum now and Batman is trapped inside with a veritable army of deranged lunatics and super villains.

A master martial artist, players control Batman as he seamlessly smashes his way through armies of the Joker’s thugs in a unique free-flowing combat system that combines acrobatic melee attacks, counters, and even Batarangs.

Many of the Joker’s minions are heavily armed, so the direct approach is not an option. In these scenarios, players control Batman as a silent predator, skulking through the rafters, descending to take out a hapless thug, and then disappearing just as quickly. You can hear the panic in the voices of the remaining thugs as they search about futilely and are dispatched, one by one.

Arkham Asylum isn’t all about bashing skulls, though. Batman is known as the World’s Greatest Detective, and players will have to put on their thinking caps from time to time and follow clues and solve puzzles to progress. By activating detective mode, players can get a sense of the environment and the threats around them, and assess how best to proceed. Batman can also engage the Riddler in a battle of wits, solving his riddles and searching out hidden items to unlock bonus content.

In addition to his prowess in stealth and combat, Batman has access to his trademark gadgets, including the grapple gun, the Batclaw, Batarangs, and many more. Many of these gadgets are multifunctional, playing roles both in combat and exploration.

War against Xbox 360 piracy

The ban coincide with the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which is expected to be the biggest gaming event of the year. One of the  call of Duty player that was affected by the ban, confessed to be a software pirate called “Raz,” told the BBC about his disappointment of the ban. “My name’s Raz, I’m 25 years old, I’m a massive Xbox gamer. I play every day after work and all day on the weekends. The Xbox for me is just about playing online, that’s why I love it well.

It was a big day when, the latest game we’ve been waiting months and months for. We’ve played the whole series and this one’s come out, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. All loading up, everything’s going well, I was happy. It came on to the start screen of Call of Duty and I thought, ‘Do you know what, let me quickly sign in online’. I sign in online and next thing I see, ‘Your console has been banned from Xbox’.

I was pretty distraught at the time, I can’t remember exactly what it said but I saw the words ‘banned’ and I was gutted, completely gutted. At first I was in shock, I mean it’s always at the back of your head using pirate games you know there’s that possibility but you haven’t heard about it, there’s been no warnings and you haven’t heard it happen to anyone in the last two years.

I wasn’t expecting it. I was just like, ‘OK, what do I do now? Is this just a joke?’ So I thought, ‘Let me restart the Xbox’. I restarted, signed in again, same message. I did that three times, same message. I love it, I love playing Xbox live. I play with my mates all the time. It’s just a good laugh, we all sit there chatting, playing games. Now I don’t know what to do. To be honest, I’ve contemplated whether to move to Playstation 3 or buy another Xbox. I wouldn’t do it again but I really don’t know if I’m going to get the Xbox again now.”

In a release by the company, it stress that piracy is illegal  and that modifying of Xbox 360 console to play pirated CD and disc violate the Xbox live terms of use, which void the warranty and result in a ban from Xbox 360 live.
