Two Worlds 2

 
Two Worlds 2
Coming from Two worlds is the new Two worlds 2. Its much more refined and is a great RPG. The storyline is quite normal to most RPG's, yet has a stunning atmosphere. You go from deserts to jungles, and everywhere in between. With the amazing atmosphere you also need weapons, armor. Which they delivered on! Although Melee is button smashing, your able to switch to the other two classes: Mage and range. Your able to switch between these with their own appropriate armor and weapons. Mage is quite similar to "Magicka" allowing you to mix spells to create newer spells you didnt know about! Range class starts out slow but picks up farther in the game, and has its own place. Moving on to the gameplay. The AI isn't always the best sometimes, getting stuck and not responding. The game scenes are horribly long at times, but is able to be skipped and you can read the summary in the quest log. The idle animations, and moving animations are exceptionally smooth, and with camera views that wobble, and move to your direction make this seem and feel like new-age games. Its not the best RPG, but if you have ever liked a RPG this game is definitely worth checking out. The more your into this game, more you'll get out of it! I rate this game 7.5/10!

Assassin's Creed II

Assassin's Creed II
Is the continuation of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed, which may I add had HUGE popularity, allowing people to sneak around and assassinate! Assassin's Creed 2 has evolved from its predecessor in several ways which I will be explaining. To begin if you have played the original game this game gladly ties up any loose ends you may have! I must admit the keyboard and control scheme is awkward and slow at the beginning, but soon I found out that these keys work together to pull off escapes and combos! At the beginning of this game you wake up as Desmond, and must escape from a jail. After escaping he goes into the past where we first meet Ezio. It takes you through all the steps of his life even his birth : ) . While this game isn't exactly a "stealth" game, it does have quite a few elements that allow you to be sneaky. Such as hiding in big groups of people. Or maybe jumping in a stack of hay to lose those pesky guards! Among all this you will experience an exciting storyline accompanied by good graphics, well done sound, and graceful parkour. This game also goes farther allowing you to get collectibles, and obtain new weapons/armor along the way. The game is quite lengthy lasting around 15 hours without even doing any "extra". Ubisoft took this game to the next level. Increasing every part we liked about the old game and trashing the bad parts! All in all I think if you don't already own this game, it is worth getting! I rate this game 8.5/10

A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda

A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda
A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda is a megaman-like game with epic bosses and hard but rewarding gameplay. The game has two difficulties: Hard where bosses have more power and you can find secrets, and Easy that doesn't let you do anything said above. A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda adds repair kits and grenades to add increased fun. You can also upgrade your weapons at anytime, so when you’re taking beatings just use a repair kit! The story is focused on A.R.E.S. who is the ultimate weapon of destruction! The story is about 9 – 18 hours I really spent 18 hours trying to find all the secrets on hard. Its only 10$ on steam right now. It also has a demo out you should go give it a try. I rate it 8/10!


Super Meat Boy

Super Meat Boy
Super Meat Boy is a platforming game that will have you cursing at your screen! Even though it aimed for hardcore gamers and the retro community it dosent have a life system cause your going to die a lot. Aside the difficulty it’s a very fun game to play I spent days trying to unlock all the characters and I still haven’t got all of them! The main goodness is the levels that are amazing when you look at them at first the levels are colorful or dark and depressing as they should be. A fun thing that Super Meat Boy dose is the fun of seeing all of you meaty clones get killed all at once! Now with 100% more meat! I rate it 8.5/10
