DOOM Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not going to bore you with a summary of the game, suffice to say that as the first real premier FPS, this baby sports a very simplified control scheme with no ability to jump or even peer mindlessly at the ceilings or floors or at the fireball-spouting imp standing above you. And if you're still okay with that concept, then do read-on.
I've played just about every incarnation of Doom that's been on a console, from the compacted Genesis 32x version, to the 3DO, the atrocious Atari Jaguar, and the slightly ramped-up Playstation One version. This Xbox 360 downloadable version lands somewhere in the middle for me.
This version feels almost as if someone slapped it together on a whim... and in a day. The multiplayer is the only place where this version shines, LIVE does an awesome job of connecting you to your friends, with lag that is almost entirely non-existant. Everything else however...
As far as graphics go, they stick to their roots verbatim and for a game that's 15 years old, you don't expect anything great since they're blocky sprites and not the 3d models of today's games. They reworked the sound to seem close to being surround, but even then you'll get some weird and unexpected anomalies (especially when monster screams from repeated chaingun bullets run over top of each other and sound like an unintentional octave, out of nowhere). And as far as the controls... well, the controls are just barely workable in my opinion.
You can't configure them at all. You're not even given the option of *slightly* changing the layout--which is understandable with today's games where every button is completely necessary, but even the oldest ports had SOME kind of choice as to which buttons do what since there's only really 9 button and a directional pad needed. The d-pad and the symbol buttons are mapped to the same functions: open doors/flip switches, go back and forth through the weapons in your inventory (which is atrociously slow, and on top of that, has no memory of your presses to makeup for it--pressing left multiple times in a hurry to get from Weapon 5 to Weapon 2 does absolutely nothing but change only one weapon... again, S-L-O-W-L-Y, which becomes a major hassle in the middle of an unexpected close-combat firefight and you've got your rocket launcher up), and with the last button function you can open the map, and the map is probably one of the most noticeably dumbed-down functions of the port.
In the real game (and every one of the more modern console versions), while viewing the top-down, fullscreen "automap", you usually can: zoom-in or out of your current position, or roam around the screen in a free mode, where the center of the map moves without changing your position on it. For whatever reason they decided not include the free roaming view, and that's fine... in smaller maps. Once you get into maps that may take longer than 3 mins to completely traverse, checking for incomplete red map lines to indicate where you haven't been/seen yet becomes a terrible project and your only option is either to zoom all the way out to Google Map proportions, or to wander around blindly with the fullscreen map up, moving your arrow avatar around and trying not to bump into walls, fall into sludge pits, or worse. Go ahead and picture the in-game reality of that if you will: a confused space marine, all alone with a shotgun under his arm, stranded on a giant, darkly-lit army base with rifle-toting zombies, ghouls, and deadly radioactive waste around every corner... with his face buried in his map because he took a wrong turn somewhere, and now he's reduced to wandering around aimlessly... trying not to bump into walls. It's just silly, and arduous. Luckily if and when you do lose your way, you can generally just keep running up and down every hallway, following every wall until you've reached a door, a switch, or an area you haven't gone through yet though, if that's your style of play.
The final slap in the face is the trusty "Screen Size" option. As a PC user, I tend to get excited just by the mention of this. This isn't the "pick your resolution" kind of option of modern games, this is the "brick-by-brick" incremental style, where there's normally your HUD bar taking up residence at the entire bottom of the screen, and a window in the middle of the screen where all the action is and literally, you can make the inside-window smaller or bigger to help the program run smoother, but incrementally. The biggest inside-window setting would do away with the status bar entirely and even reveal extra "action" that was just-out-frame (which was very cool at the time, even revealing more of your weapons than you could normally see). Most console ports just have a set size that they decided was the biggest the window could be to display the most action while still having a decent framerate. On the 360 however, adjusting your screensize literally does just that, magnifies or de-magnifies the entire game screen--HUD, action window, and all--it all grows or shrinks. Why they thought this was useful to anyone, I'm not entirely sure, aside from a few users with flatscreens that overscan, otherwise I don't get it. It can get pretty tiny, and the biggest it gets is to magnify the center of the screen until you almost can't see the space at the bottom where the HUD is, but then this also cuts off the same-size of space at the top of the screen (the size of HUD at the bottom); Also to note that there's no "re-envisioning" for widescreen tv's at all, which although would've been amazing, it's completely understandable (especially compared to everything else this port dropped-the-ball with).
In the end, this is still a fun and classic game, and if you meet any of the below criteria, I still have to vote a big YES to downloading it:
- if you want a fun and modern way to link-up with friends (or strangers) for co-op or deathmatch Doom,
- if you've never played Doom but love classic FPS, or finally
- if you can't find your PC copy and need to get your fix.

Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Xbox Arcade Unplugged is a collection of some of the best-selling games from the Xbox Live Arcade on the Xbox 360. Included is 6 games, 3 demos and a 1 month subscription to live.
1 month of live (retail $8) - It is a great service for online play of any game. You can download and rent movies, buy tv episodic content, and chat with friends, families, and strangers around the world.
Bejeweled 2 (retail $10)- A popular puzzle game in which you try to match up jewels in order to get to the next level. There are several modes to Bejeweled, some unlockable. The game is a real challenge, and if you like puzzle games, you will be pleased with Bejeweled 2.
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved (retail $5) - An instant classic in the tradition of Asteroids. You fly around in a 'ship' trying to destroy geometric shapes, each having their own characteristics. As you progress, the games elements get harder, and more shapes are introduced. A fantastic game that is fun for just about everyone.
Hardwood Backgammon (retail $5) - Classic Backgammon action. You can play against a friend on the couch, vs. the computer, or take on someone online on Xbox Live. Hardwood Backgammon is also Camera Enabled.
Outpost Kaloki X (retail $10) - A strategy game in which you are in outer space, attempting to manage power and research. A variety of missions and scenarios to keep you busy are included.
Wik and the Fable of Souls (retail $10) - A crazy game about a small creature who uses his tongue to eat bugs and whip around treelimbs. Part puzzle game, part action, this game can be very challenging. There are over 120 levels in the game, each one being more difficult than the last.
Texas Hold 'em (retail $10) - This may be the junk of the bundle. A poorly executed attempted interface leaves most poker players wondering why they didn't copy any of the popular online poker sites and their interface. Often multiplayer works too slow, while you wait for others to take their turn. There are some scenarios to work on in single player. Overall, it isn't too bad, but it leaves a lot to be desired amongst poker players.Also included are demos of Uno, Marble Blast Ultra, and Feeding Frenzy.
Uno is the classic card game everyone knows. It translates to Xbox Live very well and is camera enabled. It has a wide variety of gameplay options, including partner play. Marble Blast Ultra is a game in which you try to move your marble around to the exit point. Each level is brilliantly designed, colorful, and challenging. Feeding Frenzy is a great game for all ages, in which you start each level as a small fish, eating other fish and growing as you do so.
If you bought everything in this package for retail price, it would cost you $58. Even if you only need a couple of the $10 games, it's still agreat bargain with the 1 month of Xbox Live for free.

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For those of you who don't remember, Monkey Island was an adventure game developed by Lucas Arts nearly 20 years ago. You play as pirate-wannabe Guybrush Threepwood and attempt to uncover the secret of MI as well as defeating the ghost pirate Captain LeChuck and win over the governor of Melee Island, Elaine. It spawned 3 sequels but since the last one was made in 2000, things have been pretty quiet to the point where I thought we'd seen the last of Guybrush Threepwood. Lucas Arts have dusted off the cobwebs and Monkey Island has now been re-made in beautiful HD graphics, newly recorded music with live instruments and best of all with added voice over from the cast of the previous 2 MI games. This is a dream come true for MI fans like myself and a great way to introduce this classic to a new generation of gamers. An added bonus is you can switch back to classic mode at any point during the game just to compare how things looked back then. It's a fun way to see how far we've advanced in the last couple decades. Other than the improvements, the game remains intact without any unnecessary changes. My only criticism would be the new redesigned characters look way too cartoony for my taste and I hate what they've done with Guybrush's hair. Otherwise, it's a blast to play this game again and here's hoping that a Monkey Island 2 Special Edition is in the works.

BC:Rearmed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bionic Commando: Rearmed is a remake of one of the most revered NES games of all time. Rather than just make the graphics prettier for the update, developer Grin added more enemies, weapons, and gameplay elements, making BCR my personal favorite retro-remake.
You don't have to be a fan of the NES game in order to enjoy BCR. Its unique gameplay (instead of jumping from platform to platform, you use a bionic arm to swing) still feels completely fresh and satisfying. The graphics are amazing, and the music is some of the best I have heard in ANY video game in years. It's truly amazing stuff.
At $10, BCR is a steal. It demonstrates how ALL remakes of classic games should be handled, and it is one of the best values among downloadable titles.

Worms 2: Armageddon Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Private matches don't function correctly at all, and there is a very very long list of known bugs. If you're interested in this game, do yourself a favor and wait until a patch is released to fix it.
Some (not all) of the bugs:
1. The game crashes CONSTANTLY.
2. You can only play Forts in public matches.
3. In public matches, you can't kick players from the game, and you can't reserve slots for friends, so it can be near impossible to get your entire party into a game without having to quit and remake 10 times.
4. The floating worm bug? Almost every game a worm will float in the air after taking damage until it is his turn and then he suddenly falls.. if he takes damage or dies during the fall, you just had your turn wasted. Thanks!
5. The invisible timer on the landscape/map setup screen is annoying as well. If you're gonna restrict the amount of time I have to pick a map using this crappy system, at least tell me how much time I have.
6. When you trip off a mine while on the rope (not dropping anything), and another worm goes into the water, you will get detached from the rope automatically.
7. When editing a gametype, if you set the rope ammo count to infinite, it will be set to ten in-game.
8. When using lightning strike, it doesn't show the health of the resurrected worm.
9. In rare instances, the attraction magnet can sometimes attract mines and will not make them stay somewhere permanently. This makes the game never stop so that the next turn can go on.
10. Sometimes, the avatar from the game lobby gets frozen onto the screen. If and when it does happen, it happens to the host. New: It can also happen to clients.
11. I can confirm that this "sticky edge bug" happens. I've had it happen because I was going to slide off of a ledge, but a dud mine prevented me from going anywhere, and was slightly on top of my worm. I was stuck between the mine and the edge and the turn did not stop.
12. I've only had this happen once, but a holy hand grenade landed in a small puddle, it played the "hallelujah" sound effect, then disappeared (due to being in water). After that, it played the same sound effect after every turn. This was on a team forts game.
13. When a worm falls on a slanted/vertical area after the opponents retreat time has ended, it plays animation, calculates the damage then the worm falls again. It can't calculate until the opponents turn, thus making the opponent lose his turn. I've done this twice now, and it seems the factor in this glitch happening seems to be the fall height/retreat time.
14. The magnets, when repositioned (keyword "re") before a match, does not update the location for all players. The "aura" and the magnet are not in the same place, and sometimes the magnet graphic isn't even there.
15. When throwing a holy hand grenade, if it lands in water and manages to bounce it self back out to land, it will play the hallelujah sound, but not detonate.
16. When a crate drops and lands on fire, and a worm gets hurt by the explosion of the crate, the game will stall, and do nothing. It calculated the damage, acted like it was passing on to the next player, but it didn't. It just sat there. Similar to the effect when a mine meets an attraction magnet and doesn't stop. I've only had it happen once, and it is hard to replicate it due to lack of control where packages spawn.
17. Even when deactivated, the camera centers itself between a magnet and a metal object.
18. When restarting a game, any currently looping sound effects will continue to loop forever until that sound is heard again.
19. Even when a scheme is set to have more then one round, it sometimes returns to the game lobby anyway.
20. When a sheep lands directly onto a mine, it gets stuck. I've only had this happen once.
21. Save games have been known to reset/corrupt/delete themselves spontaneously. Everyone I know with Worms2 has encountered this bug.

Bomberman LIVE Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a fan of Bomberman since the SNES days, so when this game went on sale on Xbox Live I had to buy it. It is an excellent version of the game play that made Bomberman popular - not the odd adventure stuff that came out on N64. This is all about grabbing four friends and blowing each other up! You can add in 4 additional computer players to your party of 4, or join up to 7 others online on Live.
The add-ons are great as well. Not only do they add all kinds of outfits to mix and match as you make your own Bomber, but they also unlock several new maps and game play options. I highly recommend this for Bomberman fans, and I highly recommend you spend the extra MS points on the add-ons.

Ikaruga Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've always wanted this game (for multiple consoles), so I was thrilled when it came my way to the Xbox so I could finally get it. You can have a lot of fun with this game, that is for sure, but you can also get very frustrated. Now that I mentioned it was frustrating, let me mention a few tips about the game to help ease the frustation (no spoilers).
This game keeps track of how much time you've spent playing it, so after you play it for one hour total, you get more continues or lives, after two hours you get some more etc.. So the longer you play, the more lives/continues you get so you can actually get further in the game and eventually beat it. (recommend Easy mode for first timers)
The other tip is, you have to learn the patterns of the enemies and get as many chains as you can for the most points. Kill three white enemies, 1 chain.. kill another three, 2 chain and so on. If you kill two white, then one black, the chain is broken. You can kill 3 white, 3 black, 3 white etc. to keep the chain going, just don't interrupt the intervals of 3 and you'll be fine. Sounds easy right? ;) Check out some youtube videos of the game and you'll see what I mean.
The achievements have a few easy ones, but the rest are just plain hard and require a LOT of practice. I managed to get 95/200 points, and I am very proud.
The graphics are also very cool and I just love the look of this game. Very fun, try the demo, just be patient and you will be rewarded!

Rez HD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)How to sum up Rez...
Its not a game its an expirience?
Cliche but very true when it comes to Rez.
Originally released on PS2 with a certain "mature" peripheral that we will cease to awknowledge;-)
It truly was a one of a kind game on the PS2 that missed the mass marketing to bring to the attention of the masses.
Re-released in HD truly shows the scope of this game and it longetivity. A "mind killing" soundtrack that borrows from trance music's gritty grimest beats courtesy of Adam Free Land on Area 5. An expirience for the senses. Worth your pennies, download the trial but be forewarned you will want the full game!

Luxor 2 Review

Average Reviews:

Commanders: Attack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a solid tactical strategy game. If you've played Advanced Wars on the Nintendo DS, or Final Fantasy Tactics, or X-Com, or any of a host of other games, you'll be familiar with this type of strategy game. Elements common to the genre include:
* turn-based combat
* units move then shoot (usually)
* terrain affects movement, defense, and vision
* units have different movement, vision, and other capabilities
* units are effective against some types of units and not others
* units can gain experience and become more powerful
* fog-of-war
* etc.
Though there are a lot of games like this on other platforms, there aren't many on the Xbox 360. Regardless, I never seem to tire of the formula. Commanders: Attack of the Genos executes on the formula very well. It does a particularly good job at adding visual flourishes -- I love the explosions, and I love the fact that you can pan and zoom at will. The commander units are also very well done. Each commander has a pair of unique powers that no other unit or commander has. For example, one commander heals nearby units, another gives a defense boost to nearby units, and yet another boosts the attack power of nearby air units, etc. etc..
The only reason I didn't give the game five stars is that the it lacks some of the depth and replayability of similar games. For example, there are only a handful of maps, the campaign is linear, and there are no unlockable units that you can gain access to after many victories. I was also disappointed that the normal and advanced campaigns were virtually identical. (Was there 1 extra enemy unit per map?? If there were any differences between normal and advanced, they were small enough that I couldn't detect them.)
A solid, fun title, and perfectly executed, but I wanted to see more. Definitely worth the price, though.

The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Take one part goth asthetic, mix with a bit of dark humor, and then combine a fully mapped and VERY functional control scheme. What do you get, an addictive masterfully balanced sidescroller that trumps expectations and delivers mucho replayability for you DL dollar. The challenge level is high here as even easy and normal modes offer little mercy, but as you master the control scheme and your samurai levels up you will start to feel the POWER of the varied weapon sets and skills that accompany them. WIth a single player story (14 levels) , arcade mode(50 levels), local and online co-op(featuring limited guitar peripheral controls!) and FIVE difficulty settings there is alot to come back to. If you relish the frenzied chaos of games like METAL SLUG, and the pinpoint jump and strikes of a Ninja Gaiden you are about indulge in a little slice of gaming heaven. Other than some seriously sore fingers I can't think of any real drawbacks. Certain bosses QTE finishes feel a little forgiving if anything. Precision button mashing has never been finer, this is a cult classic game and one of if not the most visceral bargains LIVEARCADE has to offer. Just be prepared to be CHALLENGED and REWARDED.

Three of the four games (Lumines, Geometry Wars 2, and Bomberman) are included on a disc. The box includes a code that allows you to download Ms. Pac-Man from Live. For people who have hard drives and Xbox Live (which really should be everyone), this latter solution is the only one that makes any sense at all. You dial in the code, download the game, and it's as simple as any other XBLA game from there on out. The other three games all must be played off the disc - it does not permit you to play them like you would regular XBLA games. However the software code is largely unchanged, so that the games themselves don't recognize they are being played off a disc. Bomberman simply doesn't work - it tries to force you to download an update of the game, but because you never downloaded it in the first place, the "update" would cost the full $10, and it won't allow you to play without the update. Lumines and Geometry Wars 2 are at least playable, but I don't know if Lumines DLC is compatible. That's iffy at best and I wasn't willing to risk it. I will be calling Xbox support, which isn't something you should have to do minutes after opening the box.
In sum: it is more of a hassle than necessary, poorly thought out, and one of the four games simply doesn't work. I am extremely disappointed and cannot recommend this product.
