Top 14 Nintendo Wii Games Part 1 (14 - 8)




As you know Nintendo Wii did came out in December 2006 and it became first best selling consoles on Seventh generation, but it receiving polarising opinions that nobody enjoyed their experience of this console, due to issues of hardware limitations and lack of third party support that the console is difficult to develop the games, and the issues of motion controller did not impress all the gamers. It may not good as the olden console like NES, SNES, N64 and GC are very classy Nintendo consoles with choices of great library games. I say this console aren't so bad as the old ones, but it did have some good games titles that defines the console itself which most of the gamers did enjoyed it so far. I believe the Nintendo Wii is aiming for casual gamers to complete with their rivals with Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 are very advanced and more powerful console are truly for the most of hardcore gamers, but the sales are quite lower compared to Wii is fairly in cheaper price. So I'm now going to make my Top 14 Nintendo Wii Games to see which one are my favourites games that deserves to be the best games on Wii, so this is part 1 which I'm only making up to 8 today.


14 -  Wii Sports Resorts


   


















I say it's far much better than the original Wii Sports. Wii Sports Resorts are the decent sports game. It's challenging, it's epic and it's fun for all families and friends to enjoy their sporting activities.
Thanks to Nintendo brought us the game bundles that comes with motionplus which helps improve the motion controls to play the game more playable and better. This game has wonderful 12 sports activity game such as Golf, Bowling, Table Tennis, Swordplay, Archery, Basketball, Frisbee, Wakeboarding, Power Cruising, Canoeing, Cycling and Air Sports. If you like sports games, this is the game that I recommend you to get it for Nintendo console itself.


13 - Guitar Hero: World Tour





















I know it is not the exclusives, but give this game a credit to be on the list. Guitar Hero is the best music games on the Wii. The guitar bundle comes with the Guitar controller and stickers which is pretty damn cool, while complete bundle also comes with Guitar, drums and microphone. This game has brilliant music track from awesome Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Indie Rock and Punk Rock bands like Bullet for my Valentine, Metallica, Linkin Park, Ozzy Osbourne, Rise Against, Korn, Oasis and System of a Down.
The gameplay is very addicting and challenging fun for single player, and offline and online muiltiplayer.
You can download your favourites music from music store, you can also create your own music as well and you can play freestyle mode which is awesome. If you're the fan of Heavy Metal games like Rock n Roll Racing and Brutal Legends, you should go pick this game up and rock on \m/.


12 - Mario Strikers Charged Football





 















I've never tried the original Mario Strikers on Gamecube, just before I've played this game for Wii.
Mario Strikers Charged Football is the sports game which is sequel to original gamecube installiment.
It has various of Nintendo characters like Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, DK, and others joins the action packed football match. The game itself has very crazy power ups and insane characters abilltes which makes the game look fricken awesome. It has really good cup matches and challenge mode on single player, and the muiltiplayer battle is very fun to play as well. I say you should definitely try this game out.


11 - Punch Out



  


















As you know the original Punch Out!! on NES are really arcady boxing game which makes the game so good. The Super Punch Out!! on SNES are one of my favourites boxing games of all time. Here is the Punch Out!! on Wii which is the following SNES version of Super Punch Out!!. You're playing as the professional boxer name Little Mac has his dream to become worlds champion against the various of classics opponents from the previous game such as Glass Joe, Van Kaiser, Bald Bull, King Hippo, Mr Sandman, Bear Hugger, and all others. It's plays like the previous classic game and has cartoony graphics, superb music, awesome cutscenes, and decent mulitiplayer matches. This game is for all gamers to enjoy the boxing games.


10 - Madworld






















Oh yes, this is the most controversial Wii games of all times is Madworld are the ultra violence hack n slash game on Wii. It has brilliant storyplot and badass character name Jack Cayman is coming to Deathwatch show to kick all the asses with brutal chainsaw. This game is more bloody on black and white comical style which is cool and the game has brilliant deaths with brutal moves and weapons. So the game didn't sold well enough which is kinda shame, but this game is still badass. I wonder why this game never came out on PS3 and X360, ummmm???


9 - Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn





 















How can you not like Fire Emblem? It's the greatest tactics RPG game in history, since I've enjoyed the previous Fire Emblem games on SNES and GBA. This game has very long story and decent characters which makes the game look interesting. The gameplay is pretty unique with chess game styles which you can command the each characters to move, attack and defend. You can also improve character's levels, buying items and weapons from shop including upgradable weapons which makes the game more playable and fun. It has very good cutscenes, great music and has the good presentation of this game.



8 - Sin and Punishment: Star Successor





















Sin and Punishment: Star Successor is the action packed arcade rail shooter on Wii. I did enjoy the original game for N64, but this game is far more epic and stunning game. It has 8 crazy levels and insane boss fights which makes the game look epic. The single player is fun, but you can also play co-op mode as well.
The gameplay is well balanced with Wii remote and Nunchunk which is far easier to use and the graphics are just good as the Treasure's classic game like Ikaruga and Radiant Slivergun which blows your mind with fantastic 3D visuals and animations. This game is for all gamers who loves playing rail shooter.


If you like my part 1 list , please give a thumbs up and give comment below for further question.

So this is part 1 done and stay tune for part 2 for next time.

Unreal Tournament 3 PS3 Review



If you love original Unreal Tournament at the year 1999, then you might like this game that did already came out in 2007-08. Unreal Tournament 3 is a FPS game for PS3, X360 and PC which is published by Midway and developed by Epic Games. It is the fourth installiement game on the series and it's a sequel to UT2003-04. The story takes place after the UT2003-04, Reaper and the group of Ronins has the mission to fight off the Necris forces to save the planet, when Reaper who wanted to kill Akasha for his revenge. 
I say the storyplot is decent with intresting story development and the characters are quite much like the Gears of War which is cool and it's far impressive with good presentation and replay valves.
There are differences of between PS3 and X360 has their own features. X360 version has 5 exclusive maps, two exclusive characters and 2 player split screen mode which is also released later for PS3 version which included on patch 2.0 updates. PS3 version supports mods that you can download it from communities menu which contains maps, characters and modes. You can also import your own mods by uploading from USB pen drive or external hard drive which the mods can be found from the websites, such as http://www.ut3mod.com/ which I do not recommended downloading from the site and then importing into PS3 which sometimes it can freezes your game while loading the match. It's entirely up to you, if you wish to want to use mods on your PS3, then try it, but if it's doesn't work, then delete all contents from mod browser menu and use PC version instead, if you have PC version of this game. It can also support keyboard and mouse inputs as well for PS3 version which comes in handy.
There are the set of each game modes for both campaign and muiltiplayer, such as Deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag and warfare. The campaign also has co-op mission as well for both online and offline mode. The gameplay has terrific controls with very precised movement and excellent combat gameplay. There are choices of outstanding weapons, such as enforcer pistols, rocket launcher, flak cannon, stock rifle, sniper rifle, link gun, bio rifle and stinger minigun which has great shooting range, well balanced targeting and very accurate shot. You can ride on vehicles such as tanks, spaceship and hoverboard which is pretty cool. You can also play with keyboard and mouse which is kinda awesome idea for PS3 gamers who had the experienced with PC games before. I say the mulitiplayer matches is totally fun to play for online and offline mode and the campaign is epic as ever with great atmosphere is worth challenging. 
The graphics are far superior to modern consoles with Unreal Engines 3 which gives you a best looking character's design, outstanding backgrounds and textures, awesome visuals, and incredible 3D animation which makes the best graphics on the seventh generation consoles.
The music and sounds has excellent music with kick ass electronic and techno soundtrack, superb sound effects and great voice acting for characters and announcer.
The special features comes with titan pack which conteins 11 maps, 2 new modes and the titan mutator. The patch 2.0 gives the PS3 version that formerly included to X360, such as splitscreen, 5 maps and 2 characters. It also has mods browser to download and uploads the mods.


Advantages

Terrific gameplay.

Superb graphics.

Excellent music and sounds.

Awesome special features.

Campaign and muiltiplayer is fun to play with great matches and levels.

Decent story and characters.

Disadvantages

Load times issues. 

Some mods can freezes the game.

Very hard level on campaign.


Final Verdict

Here is my bottom line.


Gameplay 8.8/10 - Terrific controls, excellent combat and precised movements.

Graphics 9.1/10 - Best looking character's design, outstanding backgrounds and textures, awesome visuals, and incredible 3D animation.

Music and Sounds 8.9/10 - Excellent music with kick ass electronic and techno soundtrack, superb sound effects and great voice acting for characters and announcer.

Special Features 8.9/10 - It's comes with titan pack which conteins 11 maps, 2 new modes and the titan mutator. The patch 2.0 gives the PS3 version that formerly included to X360, such as splitscreen, 5 maps and 2 characters. It also has mods browser to download and uploads the mods.


Overall 8.9/10 - Unreal Tournament 3 is a fantastic FPS game. It's epic, It's ultra violence and It's pure badass. If the game comes with regular patch 1.0, I would give it 8.6/10, but I've just giving this game a higher score for brought us the Patch 2.0 features and DLC pack. I highly recommended to all real FPS gamers to buy it because Unreal Tournament is a real men's games.

Assassin's Creed 3 PS3 Digital Downloads Review




I've already reviewed the first Assassin's Creed since 2 years ago and I decided to review this game. Assassin's Creed 3 is a open world stealth adventure games which published and developed by Ubisoft for PS3, X360 and Wii U. It is sequel to AC2, AC: Brotherhood, AC: Revelations and the upcoming game AC4: Black Flag will release on between October and November 2013. The story takes place in 2012, following the events of AC: Revelations. Desmond Miles and the another three characters William, Shawn and Rebecca are finding the temple in the cave and accessing to open with Apple of eden. Desmond is placed onto the Animus to discover the memory of his ancestor in 1754 to find a way to avert the 2012 apocalypse. The main story in 18th century, before, during and after the American Revolution in 1753 to 1783. It follows Desmond's ancestor Ratonhnhaketon (AKA Connor) set his mission to fight Templars, who intend to seize control of the newly forming country. 
I say the story is perfectly outstanding with good plot, character's developments, and some replay values which makes the sequel lot interesting.
The gameplay is open world stealth adventure that you can freely explore the world which means you can go anywhere you want to go like cities, forest, sea and mountains which I believe the open world levels is much bigger than the previous game like the first original AC. The controls are pretty good for character's movement that you can able to use free running parkour which lets you running, climbing and jumping on different obstacles and objects. The close combat is pretty good for fighting gameplay with great choices of weapons and melee but your character can perform counterattack when blocking the enemy's attack. You can also use stealth combat that allows you to sneak on enemies and assassinate them with hidden blade as the melee attack but you can also use eavedropping to listen at people's conversation and pickpocket to steal items as well which is awesome. I say the gameplay is far much improved over the first game with better mission adjectives, playable controls and better combat system.
The graphics are pretty well done with character's design, incredible visuals, realistic animation and well detailed background and texture are pretty far amazing.
The music and sounds has magnificent music score, superb sound effects and great voice acting for characters.
The special features comes with downloadable contents which includes costumes, maps, characters and DLC episode pack.



Advantages  

Excellent gameplay.

Amazing graphics. 

Magnificant music and sounds. 

Awesome special features.

Outstanding story and characters.

Free open world.


Disadvantages

Some missions can be little too frustrating.


Final Verdict

Here is my final verdict of this game.


Gameplay 8.5/10 - Excellent controls for combat, free running and stealth.

Graphics 9.1/10 - Amazing character's design, incredible visuals, realistic animation and well detailed background and textures. 

Music and sounds 9/10 - Magnificent music score, Superb sound effects and great voice acting.

Special features 8/10 -  Comes with costumes, maps, characters and DLC episode pack.


Overall 8.7/10 - By far it's better than the first AC games. This game has to offer the best improvements that Ubisoft did a wonderful job on this game. I highly recommended to all gamers who are new to AC series. Bottom line, Assassin's Creed 3 is a great game for muiltiplatform console and I will hope you will like to enjoy this game. I say buy this game.

F.E.A.R PS3 Review



F.E.A.R is a FPS supernatural horror games which developed by Monolith Productions and published by Sierra Entertainment.
The story came with supernatural stories with terrifying cutscenes and some disturbing atmosphere. The F.E.A.R's special ops troop known as Point Man has a mission to seizing the control of the ATC Headquarters until he discovered the nightmare of female ghost.
The atmosphere for the game is quite influenced by Horror Movies such as The Ring and The Shining, which the game itself is scary as hell, if you dared to play this game.
The Console version is different from the original PC version. PC version gets highly positive reviews since in 2005 while X360 already came out in 2006, and then PS3 came later in 2007 which also receive positive review but little lower compared to original PC version did a better job.
This game has 11 chapters for single player campaign, Online mulitiplayer and bonus mission.
The gameplay is quite decent. The controls scheme played fairly well on actual controller with good character's movement but you can also tilt sideways on trigger button that gives a main character a good cover position and you can perform slow-mo mode that gives you a intense shoot out which is cool.
The weapons are quite ok'ay like machine gun, shotgun, pistols, rail gun, grenade launcher and rocket launcher which has a decent shooting range and very accurate shot, but some times it's little too clunky compared to PC version has a much better gameplay controls, but the console version still good too.
I say the load times for PS3 version is slightly slower than the X360 version. It takes about 20 seconds to load the game up while X360 takes about less than the 20 seconds.
The graphics for PS3 version are quite mediocre compared to X360 version. The characters models look dull and diseased. The backgrounds and textures are quite smoky and lighting effect is too bright. X360 version has better graphics with better character models, background and texture, and it is more darker for lighting effects.
The music and sounds has a outstanding darker ambient for music. The sound effects are scary as hell and voice acting is sounds good that fits the characters in the game.
The special features comes with bonus mission, chapter select and instant action mode which is a good choice that the game included with good features.


Advantages

Decent Gameplay.

Great Supernatual Storyplot.

Very Scary Atmosphere.

Outstanding Music and Sound.

Good Special Features.


Disadvantages

Long loading Times.

Mediocre Graphics.


Final Verdict

Could it be good as the PC Version, I'll get my scores ready.


Gameplay 7.5/ 10 - Decent controls for console version.

Graphics 5.5/10 - Graphics aren't good as the other version.

Music and Sounds 8.5/10 - Outstanding music and good sound effects and voice acting.

Special Features 7.9/10 - Bonus mission, chapter select and instant action mode.


Overall 7.1/10 - F.E.A.R is a good game on PS3, but if the X360 did slightly better job as the PC version did, I would give it a 8/10 for better graphics and load times. I say it's recommended for a gamers who only owns the PS3 should buy it, but if you have a X360 as well, just get the X360 version instead. If you already have a game for PC, then stick it to original version. F.E.A.R is still the horrifying and most creepy horror game that you ever played. So put your disk in your console and enjoy the supernatual gaming.
