God of War 3 PS3 Review


I love the God of war series is the God of video gaming in history. I have review the God of war collection Vol 1 last year which has a 2 original PS2 games such as God of war 1 and 2 with remastered HD, runs 60 fps and trophy supports. I enjoyed the style of the hack n slash gameplay with challenging puzzles and epic boss fights. It has a great storyline and the characters such as Kratos considered to be most badass and manliest video game characters of all time. This is how the God of war series is one of my favourites hack n slash games so far. 

And now I'm here to review this game on PS3. God of war 3 take places in Ancient Greece. Kratos continues his revenge to fight the king of Olympian gods Zeus since Kratos got betrayed by Zeus for not obeying the Zeus orders. Kratos is finally reach to Palace to battle his main enemy Zeus untill he got thrown by Gaia to Underground. Kratos find his way to get to Zeus Palace once again.
The gameplay is plays outstanding with brilliant combat controls and combo movements. You may also upgrade the weapons and magic improvements. The puzzles is well challenging in the levels. The graphics is wonderful for characters design, levels, visuals animation and backgrounds & textures which has a best game design for PS3. The music is very atmospheric and sounds has a brilliant voice acting and sound effects. The special features conteins video cutscenes, making of God of war 3 videos, change costumes and challenging mode is plenty more enough to have. Sometimes this game can be confusing in the levels and boss fight can be difficult too.

So here is my final verdict of this game.

Gameplay 9.6/10 - Fantastic combat controls with awesome combos for weapons & magics. The puzzles levels is very challenging fun to play with.

Graphics 9.7/10 - Superb game design with outstanding visuals animation, characters design, levels and backgrounds & textures makes the best looking graphics on PS3.
       
Music and Sounds 10/10 - Music is atmospheric, fascinating voice acting and epic sound effect.

Special features 8.9/10 - Videos, costumes and challenging mode is plenty enough to have.

Downside - Levels is can be confusing.

Top 10 Scroll Shooter games

Scroll shooting is fun to play. There are so many good games on arcades and consoles that we can spent time to enjoy ourselves over 3 hours that we can't stop playing a great space shooter games. So now I'm going to make a Top 10 Scroll Shooter games that will deserves the number 1 best in history.

10 - Space Invaders





















One of the biggest hit on 1970's. Taito dominating the first scroll shooter brought to the arcades systems.
Space Invaders is a addicting fun that you go and shoot the aliens, ha ha ha sick, I love the aliens characters in the group moving left and right all the way down. So it is hard to finish the game off cuz you can't stop keep playing over and over again, damn it's good. Is any idea how many levels are there? Who knows, just play the damn thing and have enjoy.

9 - Zero Gunner

















Zero Gunner is superb game but why this game only on arcade expect the first two came on Dreamcast.
It has a great gameplay with awesome power ups, turning helicopter while locking on, 4 mission levels and 2 player co-op. Well the first game is fun on the arcade and so with the second game on the Dreamcast but the bad news is? Its only on japan, damn it Psikyo, you could have brought it on western release.

8 - Aero Fighters 2





















If you like a Neo Geo classics games, so you will like a Aero Fighters 2. Video System made a great sequel to a great original on SNES. So you get to play as 8 characters with 8 or 9 levels. It has a great power ups with large bombs, shoots big laser, ninja star and bunch of more crazy stuff to shoot with, which is pretty damn cool. So this game is so damn great until the crappy N64 sequel came to ruined the great series by Video System, Damn.

7 - R-Type Leo

















R-Type series is such a classic scroll shooter in 80's. back in 90's, Irem brought the great space shooter on arcades is R-Types Leo that never came on consoles. Damn it, this game has a awesome stages and best power ups. Do you know what's good about this game? It has a 2 player co-ops that previous consoles games don't have one. The boss levels is surely challenging fun. Irem you made such a great games here.

6 - U.N Squadron



















Remember the Capcom's classics on SNES. U.N Squadron is the epic fun scroll shooting games. You get to play as 3 awesome pilot such as Shin with cool hairstyle, Mickey the blonde dude and Greg the beard guy. The SNES version features the improvements from the arcade version such as new weapons, extra life, extra levels and etc. It definitely has a best music track in the game, which Capcom has a such a great composer.
It considered to be hardest in the game but the only problem with the SNES version didn't have a 2 players co-op, WHAT!.
 
5 - Silpheed





















We know the failures of SEGA CD lifespan in 1994, but not lot of SEGA CD games are bad, but there are some of the good ones. I've just found a another good SEGA CD games, which is a remade of classic PC space shooter Silpheed. Game Arts offers the great features for SEGA CD such as 3D polygon, which rendered the quality of the graphics. It definitely have a most epic soundtrack in the game, which makes the best music on SEGA CD. It has a challenging boss levels, which is seems fun to play. If you never played the Silpheed, which means you don't have a SEGA CD unless you own a SEGA Genesis or get it on emulator instead.

4 - Radiant Silvergun





















Radiant Silvergun is badass. One of the Treasure's cult classics came on SEGA Saturn Japanese exclusives just before it came on worldwide for XBLA. So the gameplay has a unique controls to press two button together to shoot the different types of weapons with different directions which is quite kicking ass. 2 player co-op is considered to be fun to complete with your friends for help. The boss levels is just hard as hell this is why it so challenging fun. If you like a Treasure's games, you will like this.

3 - Ikaruga

    

















It's like Radiant Silvergun, but different space shooter. You got one weapon, change shields and 5 difficult levels = Awesome. Ikaruga is a deadly challenged space shooter with too many enemies shoots, so many bullets to avoid, and features with dangerous hazards in the stages. Damn it's so hard to complete, but thank god it has a 2 player co-op, which is no problem. It has a best graphics in the game with excellent visuals and animation design. The music is considered to be best soundtrack in the game. So this game is definitely must buy this.

2 - Gradius Gaiden





















Konami, why the hell this game only releases in japan. This is one of my favourites Gradius games on PSX.
You can able to edit the power ups settings, which is promising enough to make the game more accurate and fun and it features with 2 player co-op that you don't need to have take turns like on previous games. The gameplay is fun with new style features power ups, epic stages and epic boss fights. The graphics is colorful for beautiful game design. Konami, just bring it on PSN will ya, fans needs it.

1 - Raiden: Viper Phase

 



















Seibu Kaihatsu made a Raiden series a masterpiece of the scroll shooter goes to Viper Phase only on arcade. This is definitely must play this, when you own mame 32 emulator. It has a huge power ups with so many bullets to shoot the crap of the enemies. The levels is awesome as ever with awesome boss fights and the thing like about the co-op is having a same weapons with too many bullets is mad as hell, yeah that's kick ass. It has a superb soundtrack, which makes a perfect soundtrack in the game. Why not play this shall we?.

Resistance 3 PS3 Review


I've just enjoyed the previous Resistance games since when I got a PS3 for my birthday last year. The first game is one of the most exciting FPS for PS3 with some of the great characters, levels, weapons and story concepts. It has a fantastic gameplay for campaign which has a lot of Sci-Fi action and muiltiplayer was great too which I enjoyed my experience during the online play. I also like the first two as well when it comes with new weapons, characters and levels but it's not just good as the first ones but has a great online muiltiplayer with 60 players which makes the biggest online muiltiplayer for PS3. So what about the sequel, here it is.

Insomniac Games made a Resistance 3 right just before they made a last game for PSVita. I have no idea why the game developers are not making another Resistance games anymore. These games are fricken good as hell but why not making another game. Ok'ay moving on review now. This game is sequel to second game. The story starts after the second game when Joseph Capelli just killed the main character Nathan Hale who been affected by chimera virus. in 2 years later, Joseph and the survivors are still continues to fight the chimerian groups who are attacking the human being to take over the U.S.A and the world. I felt the story is sounds quite decent with characters plot and the cutscenes. I thought the character Joseph Capelli was meant to be sadistic and rude person in Resistance 2 but why his attitude turns quiet for now in this game. This game features 20 chapters in campaign including co-op mode. It has a 32 players in online muiltiplayer but you have to purchase the network pass to play online which is disappointment me, PSN supposed to be a free to play not a fricken pay to play online, what they were thinking?. moving on the gameplay, the game controls is played decent for characters movements. The weapons is great for shooting range and performance. You may able to carry all weapons which you don't have to swap and drop weapons like on second game. The characters health is definitely weak compared to second game has a regenerates health but on this game, you have to pick up the health pack to increase your health status, that was pathetic, you may end up getting killed easily in some levels. The level stages is'nt that difficult to find, it has a destination maker that tells you where to go, sometimes chimerian monsters can be too difficult to kill because those bastards are friggin too strong and tried to gets me ass kicked. The graphics are great too with characters design, levels backgrounds and visuals animation. The music is sounds epic, has a great sound effects and the voice acting is quite decent too for characters. The special features has unlockables stuff like cheats, video, gallery and other stuff to unlock which is plenty good enough to have. here is my bottom line of this game and let see how the game was going.

Gameplay 7.1/10 - Decent controls for movements with great weapons performance.

Graphics 8/10 - Great animation for characters and levels.

Music and sounds 7.7/10 - Epic music, great sound effect and decent voice work for characters.

Special features 8/10 - Plenty more to unlock the stuff has a great features to choose with.

Downside - Characters health is weaker compared to previous game.
Chimerian monsters can be repetitive to kill.
Why I need to use Network pass access to play online, it meant to be free to play.

Overall 7.7/10 - Resistance 3 is still a good game even it's with difficulty. It has a great levels and weapons in campaign mode and some epic moments in the game, I'm sure the online muiltiplayer can be enjoyable too. so I say buy it.
