I held out on the original Puzzle Quest because it never came to the PC at the price point I wanted, and also because I had the sneaking suspicion that it would ruin my life. It sounded intriguing to me as it combined two great genres and I’ve always wanted to play it. When Puzzle Quest 2 was released on the PC, albeit a bit later than its XBLA and DS counterparts, I could resist no longer. Perhaps my unfulfilled desire to play the original produced high expectations. It was fun enough at the beginning but I found myself rushing through the end in order to just finish the game.

puzzle_quest_2_inventory The inventory screen is clean and simple

The best parts of Puzzle Quest 2 are the RPG elements. You get to pick from four classes and they each have different play styles. For example, if you’re a Templar you might end up focusing more on matching Action gauntlets rather than colours. If you’re an Assassin, you’ll want to build up to get your shield activated and then just constantly deal damage without relinquishing your turn. As you level up, you gain new spells, but you can only ever bring five of them into battle simultaneously. What ends up happening is that you’ll never use most of the spells given to you because you’ll have a favourite setup and that’ll work for you through large sections of the game. Leveling up also gives you a skill  point to spend among five attributes, with each of them benefiting a colour as well as having secondary effects. For example, an agility point will grant you several bonuses for yellow, but will also raise your defense and give you extra Action points when matching gauntlets on the board.

In addition to leveling, you get to hoard gold and buy stuff. Unlike most RPGs, most of the best items I found were purchased from stores. Money also allows you to enchant your gear, upgrading their quality from common white items to legendary orange items. There are class specific items that helps to differentiate the classes, and these items are significant. The Assassin’s poison felt more than a little overpowered, but the Barbarian’s two handed weapons also seem devastating. The inclusion of a respec mechanism so that you can reallocate your attribute points was also a nice touch, even if it is pretty much mandatory these days. It was appreciated because I didn’t know how many points it would take to get the next level of benefit of a particular colour, so it helped me maximize my points later on in the game. Also you will want to redo your attribute points as your spells and gear change.

Though skull damage is not as vital, it can still be useful if you have high strength Though skull damage is not as vital, it can still be useful if you have high strength

The main puzzling gameplay is where the game fails to meet my expectations, but there are many positives. The mechanics are simple as they are in the first Puzzle Quest, except that skulls are much less important. In addition to damaging with your spells and skulls, Puzzle Quest 2 lets you beat on your opponent the old fashioned way: With weapons. Different weapons will cost different amounts of Action points, but equipping the right weapon for your strategy is a key to success. For example, you might want the most efficient damage per Action point cost weapon if you don’t get a lot of Action points, but otherwise you may want a weapon that deals a lot of damage at once. Other considerations are that using a weapon can trigger a critical hit that does double damage, and that using the items in your hand does not affect the board. The items you hold in your hands will be used often, even if they don’t have the astounding impact of some of your spells. As an Assassin, it felt very satisfying to build up the colours for a few rounds in battle, and then use a series of spells and matches on the board to keep my opponent from having another turn. There are some mini games to break up the action, which forces you to match a number of certain types or get certain pieces into specific slots located on the board. These mini games are played to find traps, unlock doors, or to find treasure. Finding treasure was always a delight for me, even if it was a little frustrating at times because it often felt like luck was the deciding factor as to how many items you received.

Despite these cool mechanics, the game just falls short of achieving the kind of greatness that causes months of addiction. Perhaps sadly, Puzzle Quest Anonymous will never come to be. The balance of the game seems broken, which causes the game to be very repetitive as you just have your way with one opponent after another. The game stops scaling its awards for chains longer than five and the chains are more dependent on luck than anything else. This is because you’re dependent on what falls onto the board from the screen to chain matches, unlike puzzle games like Super Puzzle Fighter II, which lets you set up your chains through organization. The awards from battle stop being significant fairly early on and I kept very few sets of gear through long periods of the game, and winning eventually just becomes unsatisfying. The story and sidequests are barely worth a mention and do not provide an incentive to keep playing. All this combines to form an unexpected result of a fun puzzle game that doesn’t remain fun in the long run. I still had a great time for about 15 to 20 hours of the game, though.

The graphics are nothing to write home about. They’re pleasant enough that everything works and the colours are brilliant, but they were disappointing overall. Even the special story cut scenes amounted to no more than scrolling around a static art piece, and not great ones at that. The feedback for getting long chains does not look epic enough, and there is not a whole lot of variety of icons for the items. Overall, the graphics are not much worse than Culdcept, but lacks the variety of animation and art that Culdcept provides.

One of the many locales you'll visit in Story mode One of the many locales you'll visit in Story mode

The sound and music are similarly well done but also lacks variety. The sound is really what makes me feel good about long chains and the music is on par with what you’d expect. I would have liked more monster noises and things like that. The narration was not remarkable, but also not terrible, which is a plus in my book. Puzzle Quest 2 ends up with a pretty mediocre effort in the sound department.

There is a surprising number of modes packed into this title. Aside from the regular story mode, you can also take your hero into single battles against the AI or into an Endurance mode, which is like the survival modes found in fighting games. Each round pits you against a tougher opponent, and your health carries over. In addition, you can play any of the mini games or take your character online and play multiplayer. You can also play multiplayer with new characters entirely and choose the level of the characters for the battle. The coolest mode of all though is the Tournament mode, where you pick a team of monsters and pit it against an computer team of monsters in an team elimination showdown.

Puzzle Quest 2 is a good game if you want to kill some time and generally have some clean fun. If you were a fan of the first Puzzle Quest and are you not tired of the formula yet, then Puzzle Quest 2 will satisfy your RPG puzzling needs. However, if you’re looking for a deep and addictive puzzle game, then it may disappoint you.

Resurrection of force 2 opens with the descent of Vader hunters on Kamino rain-covered platforms. Familiar cloning facility threatens fresh General as they walk inside. In a large deep circular cell in the establishment, the apprentice looks at his master.  Vader muses on the survival of learning for 13 days without food or water, then lifts out of the cage and lets him loose on a series of training droids. Not much time passes until learning that would have been is a clone of the deceased original unfit to live of visions with which he is constantly assaulted judge Vader. It is then but a few short moments up to what this clone broke free cell, it is, and cascades down on the side of the tower he occupied, blowing platforms and resistance from almost irreversible fury.

Interview with Craig Flannagan Microsoft Kinect Toronto launch event

We interviewed Craig Flannagan, Director of marketing at Canada Xbox, in an area of glass above the Yonge and Dundas Square, including six tents with the Kinect titles launching implemented so that all pedestrian crossing may stop in and try to ignore. Unfortunately, a slight drizzle settled during the event in the open air, but that has not prevented some curious to take a shot at the dance and other offers passers-by. Everyone that I looked at seems to have fun - even the tykes little who have had some difficulty in the gadget to do what they wanted. Spring of youth, will they flailed their members until they got their effect desired. Most people do not have any difficulty. There is a Stadium nearby with a DJ who proved if you plop in some air strong in the middle of downtown Toronto, if it is raining or not, people start dancing.

Less than two hours, Kinect will be published in the wilds.It will change the course of the history of the games? as Mr. Flannagan says: "this is the beginning".

GN: It was recently announced that Microsoft is spending 500 million dollars in marketing for Kinect. How much of the budget you get here in the Canada?

CF: I do not know the details of this one. What I can tell is that we are really behind this and will be énorme.Ce you see here is a celebration and is fit for the launch we are going to celebrate.We are really excited about the Kinect.Nous have great feedback so far and it really makes you the controller and are really dig people, it is good.

GN: It was reported today that the United States gives a free Kinect at each club boys and girls. You have any plan marketing like the Canada?

CF: We are really just at the beginning now with Kinect.Je think of here at the feast, you'll see much more on our part to Kinect with certainty.

GN: One of the concerns about the Kinect comes from the hardcore Desperate. It was particularly important because your E3 presentation where he was especially Kinect and there was a lot of casual games. I do not think that there is a title really hardcore at launch. Where is that do you see this market going with the new technology here?

CF: Once again, I say that we are at the beginning with Kinect.Our strategy was clear from the outset. We wanted to really get the kernel when we launched the Xbox 360, and we have fait.Il has incredible games and Xbox 360 is the number one console to play at the blockbuster games. When it comes to Kinect - we are at the beginning.We believe that players will be revolve around and Kinect .we love witnessing many of our community Xbox hardcore here tonight, because the Kinect games are fun. They are great to play and what it is at the end of the day.We believe that players will be love.And with classics such as being able to talk to your console, be able to navigate in your dashboard with your hand while sitting on your couch - it is a characteristic features quite cool, so we believe that players will be quite excited about it.

GN: One of disconnects [diskinects]? I see with Kinectimals precisely where you're Petting or animal strives to lick your face but you do not have the tactile feedback.How do you get around to this challenge?

CF: It is actually one of my games favorite in the gamme.Kinectimals did a fairly good work to break the mold for video games and break barriers .c ' is an interesting game where at various points type it to forget that you are a game. You are not in possession of any controller with Kinect, is a good start, but when you start actually be able to interact with these exotic cats when they are in their beautiful high def [as], when they come to the right of the screen, there are some very cool moments [and] you kind of get lost in the world of Kinectimals.

NG: I see a child there enjoying, it was quite funny.

CF: Yes, there are a lot of plaisir.Vous have a number of exotic cats to choose, especially from the African variety.You can find and caress your cat, you can play with your cat, you can teach your cat tricks.There is a robust synopsis and depth to the game and great progress and achievements, is really a great game.I think it will be surprise many people.

GN: If he had any franchise that you would like on the Kinect, which would be?

CF: I'm a fan of many of the games we have already obtained came from.I'm a huge sports fan, and I'm a big fan of dance central.And I think I'll start to get a little more fit with your fitness form evolved from Ubisoft .but it is just the beginning - each developer in the industry has a SDK for Kinect now and they have been working on them for two E3s, so I think that, as I said: it is the beginning and we are going to see lots of games cool.Au Tokyo Game Show, there are many basic game announced, so it will be interesting to see some M Note: titles and where they are going.

GN: Is there no plan patch back of games as did the movement?

CF: not in this moment.Il is important to know that everything you see in the launch was built from the ground to Kinect.Pour everything which was built with Kinect in mind, everything was built to take advantage of the sensor Kinect and innovation which is il.Si, you won't see many Portage.

Was it just say Kinectimals has a thorough synopsis? now, I am quite intrigué.Kinect starts in about an hour for CAD $150 CAD $300 if you want to that bundle that accompanies a Xbox 360.

Microsoft releases new and improved controller for the 360

Apart from buttons is a bit difficult, somewhat rigid bumpers and the D - pad is worse than D - pad the original NES controller, Xbox 360 controller is quite good. Analog sticks feel very accurate and very manageable there rumble (even if it's functionality according to Phil Harrison of Sony, I'm still as he last generation) and triggers are perfect for shooters perspectives.

Microsoft does not adjust well just "good enough". Tomorrow, they launches you a new controller, which addresses the issue of the D - pad with a solution rather fancy. By twisting the disk on the D - pad, you can switch between a flat mode (how it is on the current controllers) and terrain. We will call this good mode mode. My words confuse you?You want to see it in action? Fortunately, major Nelson has we covered:

Moreover, the controller has a new elegant colour scheme that entices with glow.The controller will be available in the Xbox 360 Play and charge Kit which is currently listed on gamestop.ca CDN $70, which means you could probably find $ 65 when it listed elsewhere.

Review - Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 (PS3, Wii, X 360)

By
Dana RussoPublished: 10/19/2010Tags: PS3, SEGA, Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Wii, X360 Publisher: SEGA   Developer: Dimps Corporation   Release Date: October 13th, 2010   

The last time I sat down to play a Sonic the Hedgehog game, it was Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing.  That game was great, but it wasn’t exactly what you’d call a true blue Sonic game (pun intended).  Sonic hasn’t been treated well since Sonic & Knuckles for the SEGA Genesis in 1994.  After playing Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, I am still under the impression that SEGA has a ways to go before recapturing the hearts of the Sonic-scorned.

At the start of the game, you’re immediately thrown into the action without any explanation as to where Sonic has been all these years and what he’s been doing.  This actually required a little bit of research on my part, so I headed to the official Sonic the Hedgehog 4 website.  Here’s the situation since Sonic & Knuckles:

Sonic has destroyed Dr. Eggman’s space station, the Death Egg.  Sonic decides that after his task is finished, he’s going to split up from Knuckles and Tails and take a break somewhere on his own.  Unfortunately for him, the vacation’s over before it ever really begins because Dr. Eggman has survived the events of Sonic & Knuckles.  Sonic must then traverse through four different zones in order to defeat his latest robotic creations.

It would have been nice if this had been explained at the start of the game, but oh well – not a big deal I guess.  What is a big deal is how frustrating the game can become in such a short amount of time.  You start off in the Splash Hills Zone, which should definitely look familiar to anyone who has ever played a 2D side scrolling Sonic game.  However, it differs from the Sonic formula in that it is a 2.5D side-scrolling game.  For those who are unsure of what 2.5D means, it’s when the graphics are 2 1/2 dimensional and give the illusion that something is in 3D when it really isn’t.  The music isn’t terrible but compared to its predecessors it just doesn’t hold a candle.  After a while it even becomes mildly irritating and just isn’t nearly as catchy as it should be.  Moving Sonic with the thumb stick is leaps and bounds easier than using the D-Pad, which is a little odd but is nothing too vexing.

All of the early Sonic elements are present, and yet something feels…off.  Something is missing.  Don’t get me wrong, this is not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination.  It isn’t broken, though the physics are not the best.  The difficulty curve is downright ruthless: It starts off nice and simple in the Splash Hills Zone and then once you hit the Casino Street Zone, you may find yourself screaming at your television.  It’s challenging, which is great considering the game’s length, but it’s far from a pleasant experience overall.

The level designs often give you the impression that the developers just don’t like you very much. The enemy placement is almost cruel, giving you very little time to react.  The special stages are all pretty cool and instead of moving Sonic around the swirly kaleidoscope maze, you move the entire level around him.  They’re well done, though I almost never got to experience them since I kept missing the giant ring at the end of each level.  I would run so fast I’d miss it completely and the game doesn’t allow you to quickly correct yourself and run backward.  Nope, you’re done.  If you missed it, that’s too bad.  Try slowing down next time.  Each of the four zones includes 3 acts and of course, a boss fight.  The boss fights range from dull and simple to obnoxiously difficult.  The level select screen is a nice new touch and is esthetically pleasing to look at it.  If you grow tired of the Casino Street Zone, you can try your hand at Lost Labyrinth instead.

The graphics are crisp but lack the usual Sonic charm and are devoid of any personality whatsoever. SEGA didn’t completely screw up, I just don’t think Episode 1 is worthy of a $15 price tag.  The game is a short albeit difficult romp that may prompt dyed-in-the-wool Sonic fans to cringe in distaste.  I felt many periods of déja vu.  Haven’t I played the Lost Labyrinth Zone already?  I could have sworn I did in a previous Sonic game.  Those who have never played a 2D Sonic game may become easily frustrated and discouraged from making it to the final boss.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 gives me funny feelings.  This game lacks a soul, but maybe I feel this way because the game doesn’t feel like a true sequel.  It’s not bad and it’s not good but I still feel vaguely disappointed.  It feels a lot more like a remake than anything else, which is okay but just doesn’t nourish the desire for a direct and canon sequel.  After sixteen years I still don’t feel sated, but perhaps this is a strong indication that it’s time to finally let go.  Or, I could just wait for Sonic Colors to come out.

X 10 - Microsoft Kinect

Or Richard I tried PlayStation Move or WiiPlus, which is why we cannot compare, but I can you: Kinect is fairly accurate. It took Richard a few attempts to move the cursor which started the adventures of Kinect, but once the game started, he followed our body and limbs with sufficient precision. I tried to give an inch but did not follow my numbers, but it is probably more is expected of today's consumer technology (or perhaps our avatars only failed move their numbers).

There is also a strange problem when we launched the second match was lost Richard completely.I suppose I should have also turned sideways to see if it would lose me (as I'm essentially two-dimensional viewed from the side), but I didn't only cela.Apres slightly move and jump around, Richard mysteriously re-appeared much and we went on our second adventure.

There is a little delay between our movement and action that appears on the screen, including some of our diaphragm is fourvoyé.Il seems to me that jump was most latency and is particularly noticeable with some warp when ranging from position crouch jump. Might have been setup in the room, we were in, but I have no conclusive data in both cases.

This is the kind of fun to jump around, even if she did not feel the excitement as when I first played Wii Tennis.Apres have was very impressed with the unveiling of original Kinect (when it was still called natal), probably had more experience I received from.But then restored, it is still in its infancy, and there are still some very cool things to come in the future.

Kinect frees C $150 on November 4, 2010 for the Xbox 360.

PlayStation Holiday Preview 2010 - 'Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood' Multiplayer

We saw some assassin Creed: of the brotherhood simple solo campaign x 10 and there are a number of improvements and toys. The battle seemed more fluid and dynamic murderers to your order and, of course, a new story that involve a brand-new city. However, when we arrived at booth Ubisoft PlayStation event, we were treated to search, playable demo 6 player multiplayer mode which is a change in cooling rate in the current multiplayer modes in most of the games.

Wanted is a mode where you are given a target, which is another player in the game. Before each spawning, you can choose your loading two towers. A combination of the sample we saw was the ability to morph and smoke bombs, two evasive skills that allow you to mix with the crowd and create a cloud of smoke ninja-style respectively.Every minute five round goal is to collect as many points as you can by killing your target and to avoid the person trying to you tuer.Ces contracts have a time-limited, and if you can get your continuing to kill bad target by blending in with other pedestrians or if you can them losing a set for hunting, then you will be awarded points for avoidance manoeuvre.

A circular radar on the bottom of the screen allows you to track your target and the circle will depending upon your proximity to your target. But even when you arrive at your target, unless they're only, you need to make sure they are that person is what you are looking for prior to the death blow as there are clones and walk in at the same pace.

The round that I played it, it was intense.You want to hurry and grab your target, but you don't want to give you a player exécutant.Le roof and streets provide pleasant shortcuts but you are a sitting duck if you be caught there, so it was very different risk and reward the momentum that mean your multiplayer game.Unlike most games you spent most of your time and be patient.Il ago a few times when my Prosecutor would kill me just as I finished off the coast of my target and it is a bit frustrating, but I think next time I'll just use an evasive skills right after I kill someone.

See how the mode plays for yourself below the assassin .Creed: brotherhood releases for PS3 and Xbox 360 on 16 November 2010 and PC, in 2011.

Prospects for the NHL challenge with ' NHL 11′

With the focus in the National Hockey League shifting from acquiring proven talent during the off-season to building a team through the draft, more often than not, young hockey players are finding themselves in the spotlight these days. Will they be the next Sidney Crosby or Mario Lemieux? The right draft pick could revitalize a floundering franchise and bring glory to the team. With each draft class, fans and media alike debate over who will be the next coming of the Great One, and who will be the next Jiri Tlusty. At the NHL 11 Rookie Challenge in Toronto today, Electronic Arts sought to end this year’s debate once and for all.

Gathering the best prospects from around the league, including the likes of first overall pick, Taylor Hall, second overall pick, Tyler Seguin, and the Toronto Maples Leafs top prospect, Nazem Kadri, Electronic Arts held a single-elimination NHL 11 tournament to see who had what it took to lead their draft team to Lord Stanley’s Cup. The rules were simple: Each player had to use the team that drafted them, the game was to be played on the default settings, and to determine who held the home ice advantage, the players would engage in a cut throat round of rock, paper, scissors. Exhilarating!

The tournament started off with a bang: Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin were slated to face each other in the opening round. Drafted first and second overall, debates raged all summer long about who was the better player. EA wasn’t messing around; things were about to get real.

Hall and Seguin getting serious.

Contrasts between the two prospects came early as Seguin changed his control scheme to the Classic layout, claiming that he was an old-fashioned player. Hall stuck to the new controls, feeling more comfortable using the franchise’s signature Skill Stick. The puck hit the ice and the tension in the room rose. Within seconds of the faceoff, Hall broke through the Boston defense to challenge young goaltender and former Leafs prospect, Tuuka Rask, mano-a-mano. He weaved left, then right, causing Rask to bite early, allowing Hall to return to his backhand and roof it over the young goaltender’s shoulder. Seguin looked stunned. Moments later, shortly after the subsequent faceoff, Hall was at it again, bursting across the blueline with a two-on-one. He made a last-minute pass, just out of the reach of a diving defenseman, and tapped the puck past Rask on the short side. If only Seguin had Jonas Gustavsson in net.

Hall had scored on each of his first two shifts, and would continue to dominate throughout the rest of the game, going on to win by a score of 5-1. After the game, when asked about his disappointing performance, Seguin said, “I’m going to have to hit the exercise room right after this and get my thumbs in shape, so I can be better prepared for the next one … It’ll be a little different in real life, obviously, but in this game it’s all about past experience, and I didn’t have it, I guess.” So much for Classic controls.

The rest of the first round went by in a flash, with Colorado Avalanche prospect, Kevin Shattenkirk, eliminating Predators prospect, John Blum. Detroit Red Wings prospect, Tomas Tatar, falling to Blackhawks prospect, Kyle Beach, in a classic Western Conference battle. Jacob Markstrom sinking Calvin Pickard, Calvin de Haan ousting Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson, and Zach Hamill beating Ryan Johansen. Then it was time for the hometown hopeful to take centre stage, as Nazem Kadri of the Toronto Maple Leafs squared off against Erik Gudbranson of the Florida Panthers. Could Kadri finally bring glory to the Buds? In short, no.

Throwing the tournament rules out the window, Kadri convinced his opponent to select random teams instead of their draft teams. After some deliberation, and a few rolls of the virtual dice (Gudbranson wasn’t keen on Kadri using his first result, the Western Conference All-Stars), Kadri ended up with the Boston Bruins and Gudbranson: the Detroit Red Wings. How many Maple Leafs prospects do the Boston Bruins have now? I’m losing count.

The Bruins? Really?

Within minutes of the opening puck-drop, it becomes clear that Kadri would be a lethal opponent regardless of which team he chose. He danced and weaved around Gudbranson’s players like they were pylons, dominating the game with four unanswered goals, winning 4-0. It’s obvious when watching him play that he possess offensive creativity, and when asked if he could pull off such goals in real life, he claimed, “Totally. Most of the moves that I pulled off in that game were the moves I use in real life. That’s me, that’s how I play.” When the topic of playing with the Maple Leafs this coming season came up, he was asked who his ideal line mates would be. “Kessel and Versteeg,” he said with a smile.  Did you hear that, Ron Wilson? Make it happen!

The next round saw Kadri once again eschew his draft team in favour of choosing randomly, urging his opponent, Zach Hamill to do the same. Kadri took to the ice using Anaheim, and Hamill lucked out by landing the offensively-stacked Washington Capitals. However, with little effort and plenty of flair, Kadri sent Hamill packing with a 5-2 win in regulation. Across the room, Taylor Hall entertained guests with another dominating win. Could this be leading to a Kadri vs. Hall for all the marbles?

With wins by Kyle Beach and Ryan McDonagh, the stage had been set for the semi-finals. Kadri vs. McDonagh; Hall vs. Beach.

Hall and Beach played a real nail-biter of a game, with neither team scoring, despite many great chances, until late in the third period when Taylor Hall scored a beauty of a one-timer while on the power play. Beach pulled his goalie in the final minute in an attempt to tie it up, only to surrender an empty netter moments later. Edmonton’s first overall pick, Taylor Hall, had earned himself a spot in the finals. When asked about the secret to his success throughout the afternoon, Hall responded, “I’m just taking it one game at a time, staying focused on the things that matter, and getting pucks deep.” Sounds like someone has been practising his canned media responses.

Across the room, Kadri once again broached the idea of choosing random teams. Much to Kadri’s surprise, his opponent, Ryan McDonagh, opted to stay with his draft team, the New York Rangers. He had been successful with them thus far, so why not? Despite this, Kadri still opted to let the Fates decide which team he’d play. Their answer? The ‘09-’10 Stanley Cup Champions, the Chicago Blackhawks.

The game got off to a quick start, with Kadri scoring two goals in the first period, including one by former Toronto Maple Leafs winger, Viktor Stalberg. However, the Fates would soon betray him. Kadri’s defense began falling apart in the second period, and McDonagh adapted quickly to Kadri’s style of play. With renewed focus, McDonagh scored three unanswered goals in the second, dominating Kadri at both ends of the ice, and later added a fourth goal late in the third. As the seconds dwindled, so did the hopes of the Leafs fans in attendance. At least he never lost in the blue and white!

The final showdown!

The finals were upon us. Would Taylor Hall prove himself worthy of being the first overall pick, or would McDonagh pull off the upset? Both players laced up in the skates of their respective draft teams, and the room fell quiet as the game began. McDonagh drew first blood, scoring on a breakaway with none other than Sean Avery. He added a second off a beautiful one-timer before the end of the first, taking a commanding 2-0 lead. Hall had responded early in the second, bringing the game within one, when he tripped McDonagh while he was on a breakaway. Unfortunately, this led to a penalty shot with Rangers sniper, Marion Gaborik, who McDonagh had a great deal of success with throughout the day. McDonagh worked his Skill Stick magic, earning a cheer from the gathered crowd, then roofed a backhand past the goalie. If this game was real, that would have been the TSN Turning Point.

Both Hall and McDonagh would add a few more goals each, making the score 5-3 in the final minutes of the game. Due to a hooking penalty, Hall went on the power play with just over two minutes of regulation remaining, and manage to convert it for a goal. Within one goal, Hall poured on the offensive pressure, frantically slapping at rebounds and putting pucks on net. The arena announcer declared the last minute of play, and Hall didn’t hesitate to pull his goalie. However, even with the extra attacker, his efforts were not enough. With a final score of 5-4, Ryan McDonagh wins the NHL 11 Rookie Challenge!

Whether or not this is indicative of things to come, I couldn’t say, but we had an awesome time at the tournament, and it seems that the players did too. During each game, the players would banter back and forth with hockey lingo, and talk about great plays as though they happened on a real sheet of ice. Not only has EA succeeded at earning the approval of real NHL players with NHL 11, but as a group mostly eighteen year old guys, these prospects are also hardcore gamers. What more could you want?

Alpha Protocol you play agent Michael Thorton, new recruit holds secret agency that works beyond the laws and regulations of the Government. Thornton is drawn in a world of conspiracy, treason and corruption, as it is framed for a crime he did not committed and forced to travel anywhere in the world to remedy this situation.

The choice of three dialogue revolve around three different personalities of the spy genre. Aggressive trading classic pugnacious persona of a postnuclear inveterate a bone-choose taunting enemies with everyone, or regularly take the fast track to a situation that involves lots of bullets.  Suave is the archetype of James Bond seduces variety you'll encounter in the game (varying success) or ad hoc banters with an attacker given to kill women.

Right or wrong is replaced by people like or if you and the consequences which provides.  Often this is demonstrated in the emails, you can revert to contacts in the field, which can be written in any of the three styles, resulting in some fairly amusing responses of characters.

Today was Microsoft’s E3 presser. As usual, they held it one day before the show actually starts, but this year EA and Ubisoft also rode this trend. Last year we were losing it over Project Natal and the announcement of a Final Fantasy coming to the Xbox 360. What did this year bring?

First, here’s the 30-second TLDR (too long; didn’t read) version:

Natal is now Kinect, releasing November 4th, 2010 with 15 launch titlesCall of Duty: Black Ops will have map packs and addons released first on the Xbox 360Metal Gear Solid: Rising really focuses on cutting everything. Lightning Bolt Action. Not sure if it’ll have Kinect integration.Gears of War 3: 4 player co-op, female Gears, mutating enemies, trading weapons, and a new mode called BeastFable 3: Looks the same. There was a trailer and no discussion, and I haven’t played the previous ones. There were muskets.Codename Kingdoms: Xbox 360 exclusive. Microsoft is publishing this title and ‘partnering’ with Crytek. Great graphics from the short trailer, as expected.Halo Reach: It’s the Halo prequel. Added melee stealth attacks, and there was a spaceship shooter sequence that seemed pretty cool.Kinect apps: Kinect Zune to play music and movies, videoKinect for voice chat (think Skype), and the camera tracks you as you move so you don’t have to adjust it.There’s an ESPN partnership for live events and videos on demand, but that won’t be coming to Canada yet.Kinect first party titles: Kinectimals (virtual pet), Kinect Sports (Wii sports), Kinect JoyRide (exactly what you think it is), Kinect Adventures (some casual rollercoaster type game)Kinect third party titles: Ubisoft’s YourShape (a pretty cool fitness title), Harmonix’s Dance Central (exactly what it sounds like), LucasArts’s Star Wars (fun with lightsabers and force powers, looked pretty cool)Forza folks demonstrated what they would do with Kinect, but there was no promise of a new title or anything.Xbox 360 Slim, with a 250GB hard drive and built in Wi-fi with Wireless N. Your router is probably not working off N anyway, but maybe! Shipped today.In talking to a Microsoft rep, he stresses that “core” gamers should not be worried that not as many hardcore games were shown this year. They tried to emphasize that the Xbox 360 is THE gaming platform now that it has games for everyone.

Now, for those of you interested in more of the nitty-gritty details, here are some of my impressions and more detailed description of each. Call of Duty: Black Ops had several things that caught my eye, though nothing was revolutionary. Modern Warfare 2 wasn’t revolutionary either and it was the best selling game of all time or something, so I’m assuming that doesn’t matter. With Treyarch at the helm as opposed to Infinity Ward though, this CoD will be scrutinized tightly. First, there seemed to be unique reactions to friendly fire that other characters remember. I’m not sure how different or varied these are, but it was pretty neat as the player was crouching through the tunnel with some allies. There was some authentic sounding voice acting in a foreign language and a jungle landscape as the player hijacked a helicopter and went on a destruction spree. As he blew up enemies dirt would come flying and everything looked really nice. And like I mentioned in the short version, Microsoft has worked out a deal where all the addons and map packs will be going to Xbox 360 first, which I’m not sure is a huge score or not.

Metal Gear Solid: Rising is not an exclusive to Xbox 360, but it will be the first Metal Gear on the Xbox 360. Konami said they wanted to make something new and unique, and this seems to take the form of… cutting lots of things with Raiden’s sword. Seriously. The trailer showed him cutting pillars, watermelons, cars, and of course, people. Really, the entire thing can be summed up as “CUT EVERYTHING!!”

Gears of War 3 looked amazing in the usual Gears of War way. Things were hectic and in your face, but now you have more buddies to help! There were these new mutating enemies that should switch up the encounters a little bit, but nothing extraordinary. It looks like a great time for Gears fans. Unfortunately Dude Huge did not show any of the new Beast mode.

Fable 3 didn’t get anything but a trailer, and it wasn’t exciting. It seemed to be set a little bit later in timeline as there is a revolution of some sort and some people had muskets. That’s really all I can tell you, go look for the trailer!

Codename Kingdoms had a short CG trailer of a gladiator or Spartan soldier with blood dripping from his sword. Nothing else announced from the short trailer and when I asked the Microsoft rep about the “partnership”, he couldn’t tell me if it would be multiple games or just one with Crytek, or he’d have to kill me.

Halo Reach looks exactly like every other Halo to me. I will leave that coverage to our resident Halo experts.

The Kinect stuff had potential. I’ll really enjoy not having to find the controller to control movies and music. Waving to sign in to the Xbox 360 was kind of neat. The videoKinect application is pretty much what’d you expect, except the camera follows you as you move so you won’t have to adjust it, which is technologically cool. Kinectimals will let you add your own animals by scanning barcodes that will probably be attached to some plush toys made by some toy manufacturer. Details were pretty vague from the rep on that one. The demo was with a cute little child, and it was all going okay until the virtual pet tiger went to lick her and she laughed and said “It tickles!” which seems far fetched to me. Still, I’ll probably get it for my toddler. Well, either that or a real tiger. Kinect Adventures is a game where the players are each on rails and you have to jump and duck to avoid oncoming obstacles and also try to collect as many tokens as you can by moving your limbs and body. But the crazy thing is that there are spots where there are cameras, just like a roller coaster ride, and they’ll take pictures of you playing the game as you pass through. Your images are superimposed onto the background of the game so it’s okay if your living room is messy while you’re playing. These pictures are then (optionally I hope) uploaded to your Facebook automatically.

Ubisoft’s YourShape was really cool, I thought. It is a fitness program that can actually give you feedback if you’re doing exercises wrong. If your knee is bent at an incorrect angle so that you’re not getting the full workout, it will let you know right on the screen. Also, there are actual classes you can take like kickboxing. I doubt these will bring you much expertise in those things, but we didn’t get too many details about it.

Dance Central by Harmonix is… well, full body dancing using Kinect. It has the requisite dance moves trainer to teach people with no rhythm or style, but I can guarantee I’ll look like a fool in front of this thing anyway. Still, I’ve heard from other people that they think it’ll be a good time and I have to admit it was amusing watching other people play it, so in the words of Captain Falcon: Show me yo moves!

Star Wars seems fun even though the movements looked a bit awkward or forced (pun optional) on the screen. Activating Force powers with actual movements was cooler than flailing the lightsaber to me.

Finally Microsoft teased us with what the Forza people were toying with, and then announced the new Xbox 360 Slim for the same price as the Elite. It includes a 250 GB HDD and a much overdue built-in Wi-Fi card that supports the 802.11N specification. They then gave it away to everyone in attendance. I cried a little inside.

And that was the show, folks! What are you most and least excited about from the Microsoft presser? Let us know in the comments!

Revokes EA Taliban excluded from Medal of honor,

Greg Goodrich, executive producer of Medal of honor announced on the website of the game for the removal of the Taliban by Medal of honor. "In recent months we have received advice from around the world regarding the multiplayer portion of the Medal of honor. We have the explanatory notes, soldiers in active players, friends and family of soldiers and women who work abroad. The majority of responses were positive.

"Also received advice from friends and families of dead soldiers in war. They have expressed concern about the presence of the Taliban in multiplayer. This is an important voice for the team's Medal of honor, which won the right to be heard.It's a voice we care deeply for. For this reason and because they have always respected US troops and allies, we decided to invite the opposition group in the game instead of opposing Force "Taliban.

The game does not alter the basic mechanical, is simply a name, but it is surprising to note that EA completely swapped a few weeks after its debut in the title. After the first critical (official at Medal of invitees can make the Taliban is a scandal), The health team had strongly defended their right to indicate the reality as it is, hard and rough, even with the actual names (Medal of honor, EA did not retreat: the game will not change). 

Today has been relocated.In accordance with the terms of their soldiers at war and their families.And if the real reason was the fear of negative publicity? Reservations apparently went well (book of Honor Medal record, analysts skeptical), however, EA does not want to lose potential customers or a single media file,. in your opinion, where it is the truth; Real respect for the armed forces engaged in war, or step back to heaven's money?

Call of Duty Black Ops Really is a bomb

During an event in Los Angeles LucasArts revealed some features of the multiplayer Black Ops call of Duty. For the first time there will be robot and a new currency, cod points that will earn money when you are killing your opponents and you can spend to buy new weapons and equipment.

Combat training is the first innovation. Playing against AI bots together with your friends, you can improve their skills with no increase in the overall classification. According to the developer for almost half of the players of the previous chapters using only the player's game.Thanks to the multiplayer mode even non-fans of multiplayer online will benefit from a more accurate alternative to the single-player campaign. in order to ensure a good variety of games, artificial intelligence has been rescheduled to behave almost like enemy incarnated by a user.

Another innovation is the currency introduced in the game, the points which you get from cod killing opponents, you can spend to buy more powerful weapons and equipment, or unlock new kill series (bonus obtained by killing enemies without dying) and invited these points upgrades. these to change the appearance of the character, making it recognizable as a kind of bonus. Even the weapons you can adjust sensory and functionally, using badges.

Online games bet you can select four different types of conflicts.In game Gun each player starts with less powerful weapon, a revolver. whenever you kill enemy will go to the next level and will have a new, more powerful gun.Arrived in the last two levels you'll use a bow and a knife throwing ammunition explosive.The interesting thing is that killing an enemy with a dry blade until the money of the enemy.

Sharpshooter operation gives all players the same gun, then change at random intervals of time; the only factor that differentiates players they are acquired are killing enemy. The last State, One In The Chamber l ets you three lives and only one bullet. in order to obtain additional ammunition must kill the enemy, trying to spend less possible shots or using a knife.

Here is a short trailer of call of Ops Black Duty

' BioShock: Infinite' 10 minute trailer!

New BioShock: infinite trailer is at 10 minutes of goodness.

Elizabeth interactions are exciting, accompanied by "His" terror which occupies the tip of the tail of the trailer. On the whole it looks like a promising title. I find the idea of tracks you Tyrolean from platform to platform, exciting and tense.In addition, it was a voice! I love heard strain as he lost by his arm falling platform to another and conversations with Elizabeth seem natural and fluid.

In addition, FALL……"" FALL! "is just excellent.

Apparently the remote buildings are actually floating in real-time and can collapse or sway due to external factors.

This guys do you think? was that enough so that you can gush about?
