Spore game

What if the world became swarming with multitude of spores? What if they overcome the human race? Nah, that will not happen in real life. Spore is only a PC game, so these little monsters will only stay confined to the software. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of this game; it is scheduled to be released in September. Anyway, to bring the game closer to the public, its developers Electronic Arts (EA) and Maxis came up with the Creature Creator to attract more users to the game.

If you’re a speed addict don’t miss out trying the BMW M3 Challenge! It is only through here that you can experience what it’s like to drive a BMW M3! How cool is that?

Are you ready for Doom? You should be as id Software is showing indications that a 4th installment in the Doom game series is up and close. Well, it is not actually an announcement of the game release; rather, the announcement said that the company has started working on the new game. However, it is clear that the announcement is not focused on the game but on the call for talented people who can help work on the game. In short, it’s a job ad! But at least id Software is moving its butt to provide something new for their gamers.

Boom

Well, well, it seems Steven Spielberg’s genius is not confined to movies. Aside from being a movie maker, Spielberg is now also a video game creator. In partnership with Electronic Arts, Spielberg is able to come up with the Boom Blox to be played on the Nintendo Wii. This is actually the first of the three games that he will make with Electronic Arts. Now, Boom Blox is a very exciting puzzle game that would be perfect for kids and even adults like me who love puzzles. There is great challenge in building and knocking down towers and fortresses. Adding to the fun are the funny gestures of the game characters.

gta 4 x-rated scene

Grand Theft Auto 4 is really a very advanced game and the whole thing deserves respect in matters of graphics and tactics and the ability to play with 16 people at the same time and all that other gamer whiz stuff.
But and this is a very big but, the game is devoid of morals and ethics!
I was kinda’ ok with the car steeling and running over people … that’s normal in our days and we hear about it all over the news and at friends gatherings.
There’s one thing though, I think the game could have done with-out; the sex!
Prostitution on the streets, sex in cars (Yes, sex scenes) and then, Hey! Why not run over the street girls and just make street guacamole out of them!?

Mario Super Sluggers

The Super Mario Brothers is the oldest game I know of. If I remember it right this was the first game I learned to play on our family computer years ago.

Baseball, Tennis, and Boxing TV Game console

Not everyone can afford to buy a Wii, a PlayStation or an Xbox. Sure enough, these consoles offer an interactive and enjoyable way to pass the time, but the drawback is the price range. If you don’t have a budget for any of these, the maybe you can set your goal a bit lower. Instead of opting for those consoles, how about a less costly Baseball, Tennis, and Boxing Interactive Television Game? This works almost like the Wii because it operates on the principle of using motion to control the proceedings of the game.

guitar hero 3

Guitar Hero III is the hottest music game in town these days. Upon purchase of the game, users were expecting a great game experience, especially with the sound quality since it is a musical game. But then the actual gaming experience fell a bit short for those using the Wii…why? It’s because the Wii version of the game only provides monoaural sound despite the advertised Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound that comes with it.

Nintendo Wii gamers are in for disappointment with the announcement that the much-awaited game title Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be delayed to February 10 of 2008.

But the wait will be all worth the wait according to some who had the privilege to see the playable version demonstrated at the press conference held in San Francisco and Tokyo just last week.

Double Dragon

Nope this is not my life story, but when I was just a kid I remember the game Double Dragon. I’m not likely to forget this game because my brother would not let me play, and I could see that it was such a fun game to play! I remember that the dame involved a lot of knocks, punches, kick and fly-kickin’ of the enemy right down to the ground. These can only be dome If you’re a Double Dragon fan you probably remember the heroes twin brothers Billy and Jimmy Lee as they rescue Billy’s kidnapped girlfriend Marian.
