Bioshock (Xbox 360) review

Bioshock is definitely one of those essential games on the current generatiion of HD consoles. It is absolutely genre defining, by taking traditional FPS elements and melding them into an intricate and [almost] believable story, then mixing in some elements that could be compared to RPGs with magics or powers for your character, it gives you endless fun options of killing the foes you come across.... Bioshock is definitely one of those essential games on the current generatiion of HD consoles. It is absolutely genre defining, by taking traditional FPS elements and melding them into an intricate and [almost] believable story, then mixing in some elements that could be compared to RPGs with magics or powers for your character, it gives you endless fun options of killing the foes you come across. There's the usual staple of guns like handguns, shotguns, machine guns etc, but since ammo is scarce in Rapture, you'd better have something else on hand. And that's your plasmids. Basically, a genetic injection that gives you powers ranging from being able to fry your enemies with fire or electricity, or even freeze them where they stand and smash their frozen self to pieces with your wrench. The mix up of these powers and weapons ensures that you always have a fun and deadly way of dispatching any of the malformed crazy residents of Rapture. And that's where the meat of this game is - killing stuff. And it's a lot of fun to do so. The mind boggles at the number of interesting and sick [and fun!] ways that you can actually kill your enemies, and it's a joy to continue discovering new ways to combine your plasmid powers with your weapons and even the environments themselves. For instance, if a splicer is stood in water, you can electrocute him directly, or you can just do this to the water and electrocute him that way (and anyone else also touching the water). The atmosphere they have created for your enemies to stalk you and vice versa, is both chilling and exciting at the same time. There are some scripted scare moment which certainly work on your first play through very well. You'll also find yourself jumping sometimes as you turn a corner and a splicer is just stood there.... it all weaves together to suck you into Rapture supremely, and you won't want this game to end. Overall - you should have this game. Really, you should. If you have a Wii and no HD console, buy a 360 or PS3 just to play this game, you owe it to yourself. More »

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Xbox 360) review

Oblivion is an astounding achievement - particularly as it was released so early on in the HD consoles lives. If you have played an Elder Scrolls game before, then this will feel familiar, albeit a little more simplified and stripped down to make it easier for newcomers to the series. I actually felt this was a good idea, though I do know many people who still swear by Morrowind rather than Oblivi... More »
