We all fall down

I get bored sometimes, so I generally try and find some games online, and I found a sequel to an old favorite. Phage Wars 2. I love the idea that the whole game is a test for a Genome. You play as a genome, and the point of the game is to defeat the other genome. Now a first it sounds boring, but tactical locations like double reproduction and double strength allows the player to really get one up on the opponent. The different stages really allow the player to get used to how the game plays out. However this is where I would make a change. The game layers it features, so at first is was like a remastered version of the first game, the second stage had the double reproduction and so on. I would have introduced the new feature on the last lever of the set. Now when I say "introduced" I use this term lightly, as the game doesn't exatly introduce it. It lets the player know its their but not what it does. Thankfully this is done really well. They make the new item easy to use and understand, so you feel as if you discovered it. If it had gone wrong it would have joined the ranks of bad design with GTA. The game also allows you to customize your genome, making it fasters, stronger ect. However you must unlock these,so it's not so easy to get the perfect genome. I deffinatly would recomend this game, its free to play online so give it a go! Phage Wars 2

Just to let you guys know I am going to be doing something a bit different at the end of the reviews, hopefully it will work and look good.

So for this game I give it ★★★★☆ and that's SomeGuys opinion!

You Say I Say

Obliterate everything

A game I recently played on armorgames.com is Obliterate Everything. It is a RTS (real time strategy if you didnt know) where you build bases, towers and ship docks that repeatedly build ships. I have become very addicted to it despite there only being 18 levels. (Well 17 as the last is you watching a massive space battle). Anyway the game is very good in my opinion. But also very very difficult in places, with spore enemies that convert your buildings into theirs and a simple touch, to you doing that the them. There is not a huge amount to this game as there is build, gather, build ships, destroy. A normal RTS, but there are some missions where you hold out for a set amount of time (which it annoyingly doesnt tell you) and missiosn were you start with nothing and they have loads. These constantly differing types of levels means that you constantly have to change your strategy to the matter at hand. This is probably why i like it so much. Many RTS's nowadays you can develop a method and re-use it every level, so it gets boring. Great game very addictive (if you can master it) go give it a go on either armor games or kongregate.

Making a delivery on the bus

Just before leaving for my bus today i decided to splash out and buy an App. It is called DeliveryMan. It is also on armor games, i loved it on the PC, easy to aim, accurate and generally fun. On the ipod for some reason the calibration is about 7mm off so you have to tap above them to hit them. Im not sure if it is just me but it is a major problem. Also the bosses on this game are stupidly annoying, they kill you practically instantly and with the off callibration shooting missiles is not that easy. Good points about this game is that there are around 40 levels on the IPhone so there is a lot to do. With each mission you have to try to survive. There are several weapons which you can buy and upgrade keeping things intresting, along with upgrading your car and the cargo you deliver, thus earning more money. There are also little challenges like getting headshots and multi kills. But alas this has problems as well, it doenst tell you (that I know of) how many are needed for the award so i just dont bother. All in all i would say that this game is far better suited as a PC flash game as it is generally better suited with less flaws.

This is carnage

Hi there readers, Plantman here. I have an apology, last week I said I would be doing on the bus on weekdays, but all this week i have been without internet till this morning so here is a video to make up for the lack of posts. So here is Burnout Revenge, a really cheap game on the xbox now as it has been out for a while, it is a very fun game to just pick up and play for 30mins or 30 hours as often as you feel. Very addictive, very funny to watch when your friend (in this case Alex) fail repeatedly.

Tangled on the bus

A game I have had on my IPhone for a while now is Knots. It is basically twister but with your fingers with three difficulties easy medium and hard with smaller dots and the are smaller. It is a fairly fun game but there are many problems with it; there is no score board so you have no idea when you set a high score or any proof that you set it; after about 3 plays it is very boring and tiresome. The good thing about it is that you can play 2 player so you can play with friends. Alas this has problems of its own; two people with their hands on an IPod device, after about 3 turns you cant see the screen any more due to your hands being in the way, and also there is no easy way of identifying who won as a frowny face just appears when you lose. It is a free game, some people may enjoy it so check it out, what have you got to lose.

THIS MEANS WARFARE!

So I know there is a lot of hype about MW3, and there is good reason. The Multi-player has been expanded extremely, mixing in the few good qualities from Black ops and mixing them in with MW2. The levels are well detailed, but not just because of the graphics. The detail in the surroundings has been done really well! Posters, fliers and bill boards have been done to perfection. The layout of the maps allow players to get a tactical hold of a position (as long as you know what your doing). The only criticism I have about the current maps is that they are not built for snipers. There are very few places for a sniper to actually snipe. MW2's beloved Quick Scopers have been given lots of new perks to help them quick scope, but not so much help for them to use a sniper as a sniper. I have seen this happen a lot to games, they find something that everyone loves and work it to death (sonic *cough*) So this is a plea to the designers, please, please make so actually sniper maps, and don't make quick scopping this easy, you will only ruin your selves. Anyway moving on. The kill streaks are gone, stripped bare and have been refurbished. 3 types of "points streaks" now stand proud and tall. With many different types of rewards for the player to use, the game has become more divers. At least, that's what was meant to happen. First of the Points streaks reminds me of the MW2 days, a kill gets a point and you unlock something to kill someone. Other than more rewards to choose from its very much the same. Second is support, and is over used and over powered! Players don't loose their streak on death. So a stealth bomber is a definite as long as they get the 18 kills in a match. Thankfully their isn't to many killer awards for this one. Last but not least we have the useless. You unlock perks on kills, and loose them on death. At first I though "This sounds like it could be really cool!", I was wrong. It makes very little difference to your play. If anything it makes life harder, as you get used to having different perks.

 So equipment. Special grenades and back with a vengeance. They are sick of being pushed around by Frags and the Semtex! EMP grenades have joined the ranks with its great friend the Trophy system. The Trophy system is a brilliant piece of real world technology that is now in MW3. It prevents any lethal projectiles from reaching you, making noob toobers useless! As much as the game feels and looks like MW2, they have used a very distastefull cartoon effect for the titles and emblems. I am not a great fan of this, however some people do enjoy the look of it. All in all though I really do love this game, I love playing it and always will. I just hope that they add the Gun game and infection game types into the multi player, as they are currently only available for private matches and they are brilliant! 9/10 from this reviewer, I seriously recommend buying it.
