Blacklight Tango Down

Elite Effect — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 04:30:58 +0000

Blacklight Tango Down is one Xbox Live Arcade game that has really taken me by surprise. Its really kind of flew under my radar, but it recently started getting some good media coverage. Thus bringing it to my attention, and I have to say, for an Xbox Live Arcade game, it really knocked me back by how good it looks.

In the near-future, in a city ravaged by war, the Blacklight Tango Team has been sent to find recently missing Colonel Klein and his personal Blacklight team in the city of Balik. The rebel group “The Order”, is thought to have captured or killed the missing Blacklight team.

Tango Team prepares to attack The Order’s headquarters when Blacklight command informs them that civilians have been infected with an unknown virus, causing them to attack everyone they encounter. As they engage the Order in combat, both sides are attacked by crazed civilians. Because the circumstances have changed, Tango Team is ordered to stop The Order at all costs…

I don’t know about you guys, but I will definitely be purchasing this game. Blacklight Tango Down will be released on July 7th and will run you $15 (1,200 Microsoft Points.) It will be on Xbox 360 for the Xbox Live Arcade, PS3 for PSN, and the PC.

Google Pacman?

xboxking — Sat, 22 May 2010 03:21:21 +0000

For the 30th anniversary of Pacman, Google did somthing really cool. Google is known for having special Google pictures for holidays and events. Well, today Google has a playable Pacman game on the site in the shape of Google. Yes, you heard me, you can actually play it. All the ghosts, the fruit, and everything is there. They even give you three lives. I’m guessing today is the only day you’ll get to play it so get playing. Also, if you get a gameover, there is a “insert coin” button by the search button. I thought that was a nice touch.
I think this has to be the coolest thing Google ever did on the homepage. So, get playing! What are you waiting for. The game’s on the Google homepage.

WonderKing

Wonderking, it’s an addictive and fun MMORPG. And best of all, it’s also FREE! But here are my thoughts on the game.

Graphics: The game is colorful and cute.

Game play: Wonderking is an online game where you can complete quests and explore the world with other Wonderking players from around the world. In the beginning you create and customize your character. You can level up your character by completing quests and fighting the many creatures in the game.

I did have a few problems with the game.
•The game takes hours to download
•I had the game freeze up on me in spots.
•Sometimes I felt like the directions for quests weren’t clear enough

But here are some good things about the game.
•good controls
•fun
•FREE!!!!!
•cool graphics
•overall, little lag
•works on almost every computer

So, what do I think about the game? It’s fun, addictive and cute. Should I get it? Sure, why not? It’s free.

What do I do?

Skylark95 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:36:55 +0000

Gamestop has now set a new record for most preordered game, and no, this time it was not a halo game. In fact it is Infinity Ward’s most hyped game, Modern Warefare 2. According to Tony Bartel, executive vice president for GameStop. “As of today, the number of pre-order reservations we’ve taken for the game is the highest for any title we’ve ever sold in our 6,200 store network.”

Modern Warefare 2 is Set to release next Tuesday I am sure it will be a busy day, with many stores opening to sell the game at midnight. I myself have not preordered the game but I am going to pick it up on Tuesday, there is no doubt about that. For more information, be sure to check out this article in USA Today.

[REVIEW] Today’s forecast: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

The Breakdown

“Clean up” the mess you made and destroy the FLDSMDFR!

Breaking Points

In this wacky and fun family game, you play as Flint Lockwood as you try to save the planet from your invention; the FLDSMDFR. You go throughout town as you fight off mutated food enemies with your spiffy gadgets such as; the chopper, heat gun, the sucker, the fork-a-ma-jigger and punch gun. As you make your way through town, you have to avoid being hit by food falling from the sky and must solve little puzzles in order to advance in the game.

Tips & Tricks

Don’t’ run too quickly on the butter, or you will slide into a hot puddle of chili
Look at other locations first before going to your destination. You can always find hidden things.
Can’t get all food items to unlock a puzzle piece? Not to worry- get back to them once you have upgraded to level three on your gadgets.

My Thoughts

This is a kid game, so I knew not to expect too much out of it- it’s no Batman: Arkham Asylum. The main reason I played this game is because it is an achievement game! If you are all about achievements like I am, this game gives you a total of 25 achievements equaling to 1000 GS. Another nice thing is, this game can be done in five hours or less- so you will have your achievements and be done with the game in no time.

Even though it was more of a kid’s game, I actually found it quite entertaining. It is nice to step away from “hardcore” games and just have fun. I am kind of ashamed to say this, but there were a couple times that I had to actually think about how to get to the next destination. Of course after I got used to the game, it became easier to solve these mini puzzles. I blame it on me being tired (that’s my story and I am sticking to it). �

Final Score: 7 out of 10

Borderlands is Out!

Skylark95 — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 15:10:03 +0000

That is correct, Gearbox’s first person shooter and RPG game has been released today in the US. Now the question that I raise is are you going to buy it? Now let me give you a few highlights of why I will be picking this game up today:

1. According to Gearbox, the weapon count is over 17 million

2. The open world gameplay

3. The replay value

Now there are many more reasons to be picking up this game, but those are the three that really stick out for me. Now today is one of the few days that I am going to cut my post a little short, but that is because I will be playing Borderlands as much as I can today. Also, if you pick up the game too, be sure to send me an invite for co-op! Also, if you are not yet for sure about this game, be sure to check out the review over at IGN!

[NEWS] OMG Can’t WAIT!! TTFN! SWAK!!

Kiki Lewis — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:57:35 +0000

Today young girls everywhere can experience the joys and agony of being a teenage girl in love, lust, and hate without ever leaving their home or having any interaction with a member of the human race as VIVA MEDIA releases My Boyfriend for the PC.

Heralded as being an adventure game (for girls only!) the game encourages girls to imagine they are at a luxurious island resort with no ‘rents and just your BFF to keep you in line (or perhaps to encourage you to do just one more body shot). Ha ha.. just kidding about the body shots, there isn’t any alcohol involved, I don’t think…

But as every good girl knows, you must WIN the heart of the guy in order to MAKE him their b-friend. I am thinking there must be a lot of falsehoods, bra-stuffing, giggling, and having your BFF cheat with him behing your back, to set in the realism of this game. Otherwise it would just be LAME. Check out the press release below for more info on the game and all the system req’s.

<3 KK – SWAK!! =^.^=

Today Viva Media releases its newest PC game, MY BOYFRIEND.

New York, NY October 16, 2009 – - “OMG, did he just look over?” Viva Media’s MY BOYFRIEND will make

every teenage girl’s heart beat faster. Flirting, jealousy and dating are the name of the game in Viva Media’s new adventure designed for girls only!

Imagine a dream vacation in a luxurious island resort – minus the parents plus your BFF. Your heart stops every time you see the cute guy who works at the surf shop. Can you impress your crush? The fun is just beginning when mysterious events shake up paradise.

VIVA Media’s MY BOYFRIEND is a romantic and thrilling journey for the teen girl on the way to her dream boy’s heart. In the beginning players get the opportunity to create their dream boy. In the course of the game they are to win his heart and make him their BOYFRIEND.

Players can experiment with wardrobe and make-up to wow with their style. But it’s not all about the looks. Social skills must be tested in fun mini-games. “Fortune cookie”- personality tests give fun insight about the player’s character. Are you his type? Are you cool enough to outrival your cheating contender? By text-messaging with their best friend, helping out the resort community and going on an exciting detective hunt to catch the mysterious island thief, girls can improve their flirt factor.

Amazing environmental renders let cool surfer-girls experience swimming through crystal clear water, a steaming workout under the palm trees, and sunbathing on pristine beaches. All these elements add up to the perfect backdrop for a happy ending under the setting sun.

Viva Media CEO Carlo Voelker commented, “We are thrilled to provide the teen community with the one and only thing they are truly interested in: First Love! MY BOYFRIEND gives them the opportunity to test their flirting skills in a very realistic but contained environment. It’s pure fun!”

The game is available in retail outlets now.

Game features include:

• Create your personal dream boy
