About:
You’re a street racer, you just got to the top of the blacklist and you’re now versing the top driver in town, If he wins he gets your car, if you win, you get his.
The race starts and off you fly, police are behind you, your street racing rival is right behind you, and your car begins to slow down.
It turns out your rival sabotaged your car, puncturing the fuel tank, before you started the race!
You lose the race to your rival, he claims the car, and then the whole gang speed off as the police close in on you.
But they can’t arrest a street racer for street racing, if he hasn’t got a car . . .
You have to get back to the top, win the races, evade the police, get your bounty up, to get your car back!

Review:
This would have to be the best Need For Speed game that I’ve played, Need For Speed Pro Street was an absolute joke, Need For Speed Carbon felt too confined, this is just perfect to control, nice and loose, its got great physics, great customizable cars, great tracks and awesome police evasions . . . is brilliant. Graphics are pretty brilliant too.
The only thing I don’t like about the game is that evading the police can get hard, and its dam near impossible with Heat Level 5 and in the middle of a race.
But that’s not the games fault, that’s just my inexperience.
Summary:
Beginners to racing games will seep straight into this one, this is the game that got me into cars and racing, its fast, good looking, and contains a great sense of accomplishment when you beat the next black list racer. (Except the first guy, he just sucks!)
The only thing that lets it down are the cheesy cut scenes!

Assassin’s Creed

Assassin’s Creed
By Ubisoft

XBOX 360

About:
Assassin’s Creed is a game of memory, No this ain’t no flash cards to memorize, literally the game is set in memory . . .
You play as Altair, a professional assassin whose job it is to assassinate selected targets. Now the reason I said the game is all set in memory is because the main character is really strapped to a machine and is living the life of his ancestors through biological memory, its an interesting story, but they’ll fill you in on that part when the game begins.

Review:
Personally this game gets really long and repetitive, a lot of the things you do once, you’ll end up doing again, these tasks like pickpocketing, punching a particular person to get information, all these things are on repeat.
The game doesn’t keep you bored for long though, because it slowly gets harder and harder to evade guards, to assassinate targets and to pickpocket and do repetitive tasks.
The land in the game is large, the graphics are detailed, however, If I have to climb one more stinking tower to get a flippin’ map I’m going to lose it.

Summary:
The graphics and physics of this game are just stunning, running along rooftops and climbing up walls has never been so visually beautiful. The game play does let it down, tending to get boring and repetitive after you find yourself doing the same things over and over, but it really doesn’t ruin the game that much.
