STAR WARS PINBALL : BOBA FETT - REVIEW

I don't know anything about pinball, nothing - not a damn thing except that it involves pinging balls around a theme based boards, bazillions of points and a ton of wasted money. Zen Studios, creators of Zen Pinball, the game in which you can buy one of the three Star Wars pinball games on, have captured these ‘old school’ elements perfectly - without the endless theft of money. £1.50 is a fair deal for a game that captures the best of Star Wars and puts it all into a vibrant and active pinball machine. Boba Fett will at times move around the game board, meet and have a chat with Darth Vader and at times, being the gentleman that he is, save your ball from escaped via his grappling hook. Despite only seeing these few animations, the look, sound and movement of Boba Fett is executed and resembles one of the greatest Star Wars characters brilliantly. I’m no Pinball wizard and not even the a huge Star Wars fan but this doesn’t stop me from picking this up and having another go at beating my measly record, playing hotseat with a friend or seeing something new different which the game often surprises with. Due to this one being so fun and well made, I have no doubt that I will later buy the other boards which Zen Studios have cleverly created from the three popular things in Star Wars: Boba Fett, Episode V and Attack of the Clones. (Though I personally despise seeing one of the greatest villains in film portrayed as a lovable teenage rascal). So if you like Star Wars and Pinball then this is one lucky find for your, if not - this is still a joy to play and a great game on iPad along with the other Zen Pinball boards.

8/10

DEATH TANK ZWEI | THE HIDDEN CLASSIC & FORGOTTEN REMAKE

Image
Death Tank on Xbox Live Arcade was released in February 2009 by Snowblind Studios and is a remake of one of my favourite games ever created. Despite the Sega Saturn being about as popular as a Tesco beef burger and selling a fraction compared to the Playstation - it’s rival at the time, it had some brilliant games exclusive to the system. One of these was so exclusive it was even hidden inside a game as an unlockable. Death Tank Zwei came hidden inside Duke Nukem 3D (wait, it gets stranger), and the only way to unlock it was to either have another save game from another Lobotomy game i.e. Quake or Exhumed (or PowerSlave as it was named outside Europe) or shoot every urinal in the game. Once you had achieved this might feat, you then could select Death Tank from the main menu. I have to add, PowerSlave (aka. Exhumed) also had the original Death Tank locked inside though I am unable to find any information or pictures of what this differs from Death Tank Zwei. For my friends and I, D

PLAYSTATION 4 ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING ?

Image
Sony have released a teaser video on the net of nothing but a few seconds of .... nothing. The reason? To let everyone know they are going to announce something big on February 20th and to get everyone excited, which they indeed are, including myself.  Follow the link and take a look at the trailer to find just how little there is to look at or even pick apart. Checking the trend on Twitter, it's got everyone scratching their heads over what it could be except the PS4. This comes as quite alarming news as Sony recently declared that they would like Microsoft to present their next generation first, though there hasn't been anything said by Microsoft.  Thinking of what it could be, perhaps the next Playstation, it makes me think of some areas they could improve upon in their next gen console. For a start they badly need to work on some kind of party chat and more interaction between friends and easy access to join friends in game and to allow gamers the ease that the Xbox gav

SIMCITY - REVIEW

Image
Being excited about the new revamp of Simcity having not played a Simcity game since ‘2000’, I preordered the game months before the release date and even bought the British city set (being the anglophile that I am), despite it costing £8, a ridiculous amount of money for just a few extra details. So that along with the digital version set me back ~£53 and am I happy with this bug purchase? No. Paying that much for a game with an awful launch which masks underneath what is a seriously damaged game I can’t help but feel bad for those who put down the huge sum of £65 for the Digital Deluxe version - ouch. It still baffles me how we aren’t allowed refunds for digital games as anyone could throw out any old rubbish, much like this, and just reap the rewards. I could make a long review about the troubled launch and the reason why I don’t like the ‘always online’ DRM but I’m going to assume that most people know about this (it was even covered on BBC News), and don’t want to badger o
