Test Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 on Playstation 3

Just over two years after the release of second album, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 places us again in command of formidable Japanese mecha sauce. True to the famous series of futuristic Koei, this episode will reach unprecedented there to surprise us?

For fifteen years, flooding the world Koei beat 'em all "Warriors" always built on the same model. Dynasty Warriors first appeared in 1997 and recently released Samurai Warriors Chronicles of 3DS through the other Warriors Orochi Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce, we really spoiled for choice to kill hundreds of enemies in different contexts. Unlike Dynasty Warriors Chinese legends who return or Samurai Warriors taking place in medieval Japan to the Sengoku era, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam staged huge steel monsters in futuristic settings. Huge success in Japan because of the notoriety of the Gundam franchise, this original series is struggling to find its place in the West. However, developers Omega Force did not spare their efforts to offer us this year an impressive content.

Indeed, as in 2009, fans of giant robots and mass battles in futuristic designs will get their money. Among the dozens of bits (including a bunch of new kids) that can drive the incredible number of missions that can be carried out and the phenomenal customization options available to us, it's enough to have the dizzy. Rarely, it must be said, an episode of "Warriors" was not as generous as Gundam 3. In addition, the visual result is particularly interesting this year since the cel shading which is now de rigueur ideal original design of the anime. In addition to the apparently very successful and mecha battles are in full view, beautiful cinematic flatter us regularly retina. It's a safe bet that fans of the genre are the angels. However, one should not expect a revolution in the concept of soft (With Koei, it is obvious).
he major change introduced in this episode, however, concerns the very structure of the battlefields. Indeed, they are now split into various areas connected by corridors. The player will have to capture certain strategic areas to tip the outcome of the battle in his favor. Forward bases, for example, slowly fill gauges MS support when they are under our control. The fortresses in turn reinforce the strength of our units while catapults allow us to teleport to the other side of the card and so on. Ultimately, even if the tactical clashes is improved, we still regret that the battles are now confined spaces much smaller than before. Fortunately, there are still hundreds of enemies to kill and boss monster to slay. Also note in this regard, the combat system against them has received a significant facelift.

Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword test for PC

While the community of Mount & Blade, still active, offers many interesting mods for Warband, Taleworlds Entertainment continues to provide its set of extensions stand-alone official, as it takes to earn a crust. Developed by independent Sich Studios With Fire & Sword happens to us over a year and a half after its launch in Eastern Europe, which is hardly surprising given that it is based on the trilogy Ogniem i Mieczem (With Fire & Sword) by Henry Sienkiewicz. Welcome to the era of the Cossacks and the first gun!Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword is a Stand-Alone available for download for a couple euros, or boxed in at Focus bundle  also containing Warband (potentially interesting for a purchase that had been deadlocked on the last extension). Although it was released before Warband in Eastern Europe (where it was edited by CDProjekt), we arrive in a revamped version includes many of the improvements of the latter, whether the boost graph Option multiplayer or single player additions. However, it does not Warband obsolete since it carries theater events from medieval times until the seventeenth century in Eastern Europe in flames.With Fire & Sword is therefore rooted in a historical context that applies to his solo campaign to adopt a realistic map. Unlike the utopian Caldaria, you will find cities, nations and borders real. Topography requires, the flatness of this part of the continent, which gives pride to the river valleys, making the landscape less diverse, but still likes to visit the capitals whose architecture has been faithfully reproduced (damage which they are a bit empty and littered with invisible walls). The conflict at the center of this expansion began in 1648 with a challenge for Poland threatened on all sides. Zaporozhian the Cossacks, who fought for their freedom, were forced to conclude an alliance with the Czar of Russia to cope with the Polish nobility. Meanwhile, the king of Sweden and the Crimean khan awaiting the outcome of the conflict by watching for the slightest opportunity. The ambitious leader that you has the opportunity to partner with one of the five factions (Cossacks, Poles, Russians, Swedes and Turks in the Crimea), knowing that the historical roots of background allowed the designers to propose three storylines scripted dependent nation to which you swore allegiance, and multiple endings that depend on your choice. This is an opportunity to meet the dignitaries of the era and relive some events such as the "Deluge."This extension tightly scripted nevertheless retains all its characteristics of play sandboxSince you will once again attend to the right and left an army for you and make you a name, before swearing allegiance to a flag and look to attack the enemy fortresses. Your first step may however be much more painful than in the past, and for good reason: With Fire & Sword not only allows you to train yourself in the arena or to gain fame by scouring the local tournaments, or recruit impunity in the small villages that cannon fodder that you used to turn into warlords in hunting the bandits. Now, your army is mainly composed of mercenaries that you must pay the balance each week (which greatly increases the cost of maintenance) and you can upgrade  in providing them better equipment from specialized suppliers. That gives all its importance to the new system of economy and trade, which can borrow money (with interest) to grow his nest egg, or even to send convoys of goods to destinations more interesting. This add-on also offers other additions, the most significant are related to the management of fiefdoms or the conduct of the seats (why not bribe an officer or food poisoning?).

Rango test on XBox 360

A great animated film Hollywood is often synonymous with play declined on all platforms. Nobody escapes the rule, and especially not Rango first animated feature from the director of Pirates of the Caribbean. Quite variable quality, these securities are generally aimed at a fairly young. So let's see what it is here, especially if Rango manages to hit its target.


Wild Wild West
Let us put a little context: Rango is not a member of the Beatles, but a lizard home catapulted into full Mojave. In the film, he became sheriff in the small town of Dust (Dust in original). Curiously, the game does not resume the path of the feature film but takes place after. Our hero finds his opponents Bad Bill and Jack the bite, this time in search of strange meteorite fragments. We thus find the very spirit of the western film, but which is grafted a somewhat disjointed storyline featuring zombies, alien invasion, and even a strange digital world. The question is: what has been made but what the developers to imagine all that? Not only grass visible.


Implementation side, the scenery just as the characters are particularly well modeled for a game of this magnitude, and although there is some defects or even some textures that drool, and we are far more references AAA console, it is pleasantly surprised at the attention to graphics, especially since the sets are quite varied. From the corner of the gameplay, it has to do a set of conventional platform, ultra-linear, albeit with some phases of fire or animal rides for the whole range. The possibilities are numerous enough, even too, and it will not always be easy for youngsters to navigate among the available range of motion, much can also be almost forgotten to get into the game head by pulling down anything that moves.


There's no lizard
As often happens with Hollywood licenses, life is not the strong point of the title. Four hours are ample to see the end, the whole being greater ease. The developers have still provided three levels of difficulty, which strengthen a little challenge. To provide a bit of replayability to the title, nine levels that the system can be revisited to find the essential secret, even though they are rarely well hidden. Players can also earn stars to purchase various upgrades available: more shots in the gun, more powerful attacks, bonus extended, etc..


The game has nevertheless a little rhythm problem, levels may be very long and exceed the half-hour. A defect that is already found in Wall-E for example. Difficult for young people to hang too long! In return, the path is strewn with automatic save points, and we must never again fight over a failure. This avoids the hysterics.

Samurai II: Vengeance test in android

If you do, a ladle of cel shading used in a marinade of all battles bloodier one than the other?! Yes, my good friends, we swim here in full beat 'em all set in a medieval Japan that would not have denied Kurozawa. As much to the work of the master to games like Onimusha, Way of the Samurai or even Okami for his paw graphic, the title of Mad Finger food at all the racks so that we serve a result ... Most agreed. This is also the first hurdle title that fails to change its concept throughout the seven levels up the main adventure. Thus, we must be content with fighting the same for a few hours, sometimes interspersed with a few pitfalls to avoid. Not obvious at once to praise the app that does not, however, lack of qualifications.

On the one hand, as you can see, the game's visual quality has gained since the first game. Let's mention that this is a version Tegra supposed to be better than the iPhone version. Anyway, the developers have managed to infuse their personality saga as one can always cut into two opponents with a sword in a good position. Unfortunately, it is unfortunate that the list of combos include only six sequences. It is even more damaging than only two combos are sufficiently powerful to you Extending out brawls. In short, once you've bought the last two shots, you can leisurely beat the weakest enemies in a single attack or multiple opponents off balance before piercing your blade once ashore. Extremely useful especially when you are dealing with four or five archers and samurai of all colors have an idea in mind ... Take yours.

The radius of the things that annoy include a construction singularly lacking in pizzazz. In sum, it will be stuck with from beginning to end fighting in enclosed arena with more and more slobs, some pitfalls to avoid and that's all. The range of moves and dodge does not allow a pleasant change, progress will prove neutral, beauty and overall well-tuned gameplay constantly coming into conflict with the banality of staging. In this regard, we note several concerns still more or less annoying related action buttons too close to the home button the phone or even a bug returning at regular intervals synonymous character stubbornly refusing to move forward. If in the first case, simply be careful where you tap for not returning the phone menu, in the second case, we must wait until the hero please stand release or, at worst, reload the last checkpoint , hoping not having the right to that bug again. In short, if they like to finish a first adventure, the replay value is almost zero and this is not the Dojo mode (Survival), which will prompt you to restart the beast. Could do better to paraphrase another.

Dynasty Warriors 7 test in XBOX

15 years, it will be almost 15 years that fans bastons medieval epic and beef are having a field day on the prolific series Dynasty Warriors (Shin Sangokumusou for short). Fighting game one against one based on the legend of the Three Kingdoms, the first episode appeared in 1997 on Playstation soon gave way to a veritable avalanche of beat'em all the more spectacular than the others as well as many spin-off tactical or strategic. We are now in the seventh episode and the success of the franchise does not always crazy in Japan as in the rest of the world. Défouloir popcorn based on a background of concrete and very charismatic characters, the Dynasty Warriors have many fans on every continent. However, criticism has not always been kind to the series, far from it. gameplay repetitive, lack of innovation, achievement dated ... The defects of the fingers pointing back regularly from one album to another. Dynasty Warriors 6 after a cool reception by the gaming community and professionals in 2008, his successor was expected to turn. Anxious to meet the traditional audience of the series, Capcom has taken some steps to redress the balance.

The first changes made ​​by Dynasty Warriors 7 will notice upon launching the app . There is thus a Conquest Mode has emerged alongside the traditional story mode. Set on a strategic map divided into hexagons in the manner of a wargame , this novel mode invites us to conquer box by box a vast territory with characters unlocked in Story Mode. Naturally, it is Felstriker thousands of enemies on the battlefield that we will achieve this ultimate goal. According to our slow progress, it will reach the cities to rest or hexagons to access special battles. The entire experience will be spread over so many hours. But the game is worth it since may for example retrieve the passage of special weapons, new fighters and even animals can assist us in the field. Moreover, it is possible to play two-screen split or outright pick partners on the Net.
The story mode in turn does not change from what we are used for years. However, after the selection of a kingdom (Wu, Shu, Wei and Jin's new kingdom), each mission scenario requires us to use a specific character. This lack of freedom is likely to be misunderstood by some fans but upon reflection, it is an interesting opportunity for them to familiarize themselves with the characters they had not played much so far. And characters, there! A good sixty to be exact. Moreover, each story is so long that they have property for two or three nights before finishing one. As usual, various cutscenes (sometimes dazzling, sometimes missed) are responsible to illustrate a narrative filled with dialogue dubbed and mostly in English. The background is solid, the characters are believable. Nevertheless, the legend of the Three Kingdoms, as beautiful as it is, for 15 years, one begins to seriously have done the trick.

Summer Challenge Athletics Tournament test on PC

The best days are starting to arrive and with them, sports games come to our stalls. Thus, Summer Athletics Tournament we travel back into the hell of the multi-events, with or without friends. The problem is that the title has a few years late and fails very difficult to convince.
As it is somewhat useless to explain the principle of a multi-events, let's get straight to the subject, casting an eye on what's in store this Summer Athletics Tournament. First, we regret not to find a score of events spread across eight disciplines. A bit light compared to the 2008 Beijing offered 36 events. However, to lengthen life, 49Games had the idea to add 49 challenges. Unfortunately, the latter being necessarily based on events, they're tired very quickly. So, we prefer to engage in the typical career games stamped RTL Sports. In short, you will have access to all starting at two events and depending on your success, you unlock new ones. If there are various types of test (Exercise, Competition, and Duel Cup), we note that this contribution is somewhat artificial, the aim in all cases to win the challenge to move on. Same conclusion for multiplayer online just to confront the ghosts of players the same level. Confess that have seen better ... Beijing in particular.Regarding the tests, we find the very classic with large families of tests: running, jumping, throwing, swimming, diving, archery, trampoline and fencing. It is a pity that there were no gymnastics event or even table tennis. Anyway, in terms of playability, the app also against him a few caveats. If you will not be surprised by a gameplay among several similar events, there will be a little disappointed by cons with a few choices, particularly those regarding decision-speed (or power) which means stick (or Wiimote) to turn or agitate. If it works pretty well most of the time, it is sometimes difficult to maintain a good pace while performing another action. However, everything is a matter of training especially for the tests and asking us to do three or four actions before they can be crowned world champion. In addition, remember that depending on your level of difficulty (Easy to Super Hard), the grip will be more or less simplified. In sum, what bothers most about Summer Athletics Tournament comes from its lack of ambition, its contents altogether too conventional and its visual obsolete. Difficult in this case to praise or even recommend this product.

Pilotwings Resort test on Nintendo

Although not published any radio signal from the output of the episode Nintendo 64 Pilotwings series still holds a special place in the hearts of players who discovered it through the original game on Super Nintendo. Find it now on 3DS is interesting for several reasons, not least because the experience offered by Pilotwings Resort is an excellent way to become familiar with the 3D console.
Of all the titles on offer at the launch of Nintendo's new handheld, Pilotwings Resort perhaps does not like the more attractive for most players, but his gameplay relaxing and pleasantly sharp might enable him to curry favor with the public. It must be said that 3D rendering is provided by the machine with this title ideal means of expression, while giving this episode an added value that could not boast its predecessors.The game takes place over the island of Wuhu, a paradise that we will be able to fly with Miis in control of six different aircraft. Because if Nintendo has so far decided to highlight the three main gears that are the aircraft, rocket belt (jetpack) and hang gliding, it should be noted that the cartridge also gives us three additional units to control. This is the jet, super and super delta propellant. You could even add the flying squirrel costume, surprising as destabilizing but limited to a single event. These six variants have the merit of reviving the deal every time at the gameplayTheir only real common point being to impose a certain requirement that requires real precision in the controls of the game The way everything is fortunately no problem with the stick of the console and the margin of increase is really significant.The app There are two main modes: a mode missions and free flight mode. The first is to test our control of the steering commands to all aircraft in the game via some forty missions objectives quite diverse. The latter may for example ask you to follow a preset course in making the most of your specific device, target target while hurtling at the right speed on panels impossible to crack otherwise, perform aerobatics in passing rings, or take photos without leaving your path. These photos can also be saved in the album of the console and then exported via an SD card. All these challenges will take five classes at the increasing difficulty, each one is releasing only on condition of obtaining enough medals on previous challenges. Although the gameplay is relatively demanding, especially when controlling the glider and Super Delta, the global challenge of the game is actually not very tough on the whole and it is little more than a few hours to reach the last bearing.

The 3rd Birthday test in PS3

It's been a dozen years Aya Brea, Parasite Eve, the heroine, is looking for. After flirting with the record of survival horror tinged with adventure and RPG, the beautiful visibly knows too much about where they stand today as it opts for the GST. Initiating a clean break with its predecessors, The 3rd Birthday is an amazing action game in the right way!
We're in New York in 2012 on Manhattan Island, Christmas Eve, and humanity is at its worst. The end of the world never seems to have been so positive that since the appearance of twisted, monstrous creatures that derive from a life form of unknown origin that threaten the population with extinction. The last hopes of the human race now rest on the frail shoulders of Aya Brea, the only person in the world that is compatible with any new technology called Overd and giving it the power to neutralize the Twisted. Backed by members of the ITC (Twisted Counter Investigation), Aya is ready to go to the end despite his fear of failure before the enormous responsibility it bears. But she will have to go through it if it wishes restore order in his memories and get rid of this amnesia has suddenly instilled doubt in his mind.
Although it does not require extensive knowledge of the events narrated in the Parasite Eve series, the story of The 3rd Birthday likes to wander the player over time through numerous flashbacks which both involve known characters qu'inédits. But these back-and-fro between past and present have a confusing effect which is a bit detrimental to the overall understanding of the plot of The 3rd Birthday. And at least check the information base on the script or redo the game several times, you feel overwhelmed quickly a story that shines, conversely, for his cinematic quality and charisma of his heroine. Aya because it is a fragile but determined that we discover in this episode, arguing against her in environments completely devastated by the action of creatures as terrifying as deadly, guided by the very small hope of finding his identity.If the action is everywhere and always supercharged in The 3rd Birthday, progress still reserve a few moments of respite when the voltage, far from falling, is accentuated even more that we feel the imminence of nightmares to come . The heavy atmosphere is one of the highlights of this title more disappointed however by its construction. Each mission is in fact composed of related areas that must be cleaned routinely to access the next, and it almost always passes through the eradication of nuclei that generate the Twisted to infinity and it is therefore necessary to identify priority if you do not want to leave quickly overflow. To do this, Aya can count on its allies in the SIC, a group of soldiers whose presence will allow it to fully exploit the amazing capabilities of the Overd.For much of the interest of The 3rd Birthday is its many unlockable arsenal including ultra scalable and provided that it only scratches during the first 8 hours required for completion of the 7 chapters Thurs This time, developers have managed to make each type of weapon truly indispensable to the progress, and you learn quickly to take advantage of the characteristics of our three favorite guns to shorten up the confrontation. This also requires the use of Overd Kill, a technique to darken abruptly in the body of a Twisted inflict substantial damage that occurs when optimizing the placement of its allies to support the crossfire. In the best case, a gauge of liberation also allows Aya move temporarily into a trance to eradicate all enemy presence around, but the ubiquity of barricades designed to take cover is essential to negotiate gunfights most tense.

WWE All Stars test on XBOX 360

While most wrestling fans swear by the series of Smackdown vs. Raw, publisher THQ has decided to launch a parallel title that gives way to the show with an arcade-style gameplay. But the other big carrot WWE All Stars shakes under our noses is the opportunity to meet old stars in addition to current wrestlers for matches anthology. Are you ready to rumble?
It's been several years that wrestling has returned to the front of the stage, especially in the schoolyards. For many teens today, the icons are called Batista, Rey Mysterio and John Cena. But the oldest also remember the excitement had been masterful this spectator sport in the 80s, thanks to Hulk Hogan and his famous trances. It was at this time that wrestling has truly become a global entertainment that can attract tens of thousands of people around the ring. WWE All Stars we therefore propose to mix these two eras to create unexpected match-up that we will indeed never (or briefly) had the opportunity to see in reality.
First, as mentioned in the intro, WWE All Stars is a title which clearly tends toward the arch. Expect to exaggerated movements in the extreme and stratospheric finishers, five feet above the ring! Moreover, speaking of hype, the wrestlers are depicted as a caricature, while respecting the original model for a truly successful outcome. Already the stars of WWE are built like baobabs, the title of THQ offers us squarely tanks on legs, although the proportions are kept (Rey Mysterio against Andre the Giant, it's worth the detour). For the combat system, we can clearly classify by style protagonists. For example, Andre the Giant and The Big Show share a large part of their range of movement. Even if no character is the perfect clone of another, you may still regret the lack of diversity that results. Note however that this fault is quite negligible since you still have plenty to do.
Where really shines All Stars of WWE Smackdown vs. Raw is in gameplay. Indeed, here we are in a way that blends both classic fighting game and wrestling. So, we discovered a small system combos in which the shots were shackled with weak and strong decision. All fighters do not employ the same combination and it will make several attempts before you find your happiness. The important thing to consider is that it is possible to link the enemies in the air like a Tekken. For example, you can make a combo four strokes, the last bounces your opponent into the ring and then follow up directly by taking mid-height. Sure, it changes the Smackdown vs Raw! But rest assured that the players do not believe that there is no way out of a combination. Indeed, it is possible at any time to counter a series of blows, or even a plug, pressing the triggers in a precise timing. While in some cases you just push the opponent, in others, you make an outright attack-cons! While this may seem devastating, still know that the advantage is always left to the attack: if your country is taking, you can even "counter cons" to finally achieve your move permanently. Of course, given the tight timing, do not count on it eitherAlthough the gameplay has its advantages in helping greatly enjoyable side of the fighting, he must still make some small details that do not necessarily delight the crowds. If we already talked about the existing pattern in the shots of different characters, the range of motion overall is still below what one might hope. For example, interactions with the ropes and corners of the ring are far from being fairly numerous. After a few games, some redundancy in the gameplay eventually be felt. Another small problem, if the animations are good, we can note some problems of collisions, which cause the catch, however well placed to fail. This is especially recurrent in matches with four players. Ditto for the management of a wrestler who is recovering. If a player's attack before it was fully erect, the two characters make an animation back rather awkward. It becomes a bit problematic when it happens several times per game, again, especially to many. For cons, the cons a small one has its flaws characters as a camera may be too close to the fighters and an angle that precludes seeing in depth. Finally, theIA adversaries is largely improved. It is easily possible to chain to infinity or some shots taken with some good timing. Having the advantage given to the attack, a player who really control the "cons-cons" can make a carnage no matter how difficult. Admittedly, it requires great concentration, but even without that, an average player can still easily win his matches using a single attack.

Call of Duty: Black Ops - First Strike test on PC

There remains to mention Ascension map for the Zombie mode. Again, Treyarch is very tortured by proposing an architecture with the ability to jump from one end to another level by using flying platforms. We even discovered some very stupid jokes at the turn of corridors before facing some tiny monkeys zombies (yes, you read correctly), substitutes crazy dogs of hell. In short, taken as such, the first map Pack Black Ops is of excellent quality, lining up a handful of cards very successful in terms of gameplay as well as design (considering that technically speaking, multi Black Ops is still very ugly). Yes, this is still very expensive for some maps, as successful as they are. But this, the old timers we will present perhaps the ideas in place, citing the so-called add-on Quake 2 or Duke Nukem paid a high price and that did finally only 7 or 8 levels Solo ... In short, if Activision is clearly not in philanthropy, it is not clear how criticizing the method. Indeed, fans who swear by Black OpsThe lines that follow, you can imagine, therefore, have a single purpose: to answer this highly existential these nice maps they really worth it disburses the tidy sum of 14 €? Before responding with violence by releasing a flood of insults in which an attentive ear could possibly distinguish the "purchaser in milk!" and other "abusette!", so take the time to review the contents of the beast. First Strike has 5 maps corresponding to the names of Discovery Stadium, Kowloon, Berlin Wall and Ascension, the latter being dedicated exclusively to the famous zombie mode. Now these 5 cards, I must admit, are of excellent quality, all clearly distinguished by their environment and their way of being played. Say what you want to Treyarch, but the fact is that the buggers have often been able to devise balanced multiplayer maps, easy to understand without basic, and have furthermore a true identity.
Even keeping that in mind, the fact is that First Strike could pass as their best achievement to date. Fans will appreciate the attention to such small details about each of these new environments. An example would be this kind of no man's land that splits into two Berlin Wall. Through this area without going through the two holes in the wall systematically trigger heavy fire from automatic guns. In Kowloon, in addition to the rain, the corners of vicious, most suicidal may try to cross the map using zip ... The simple fact of progress on this map is already an interesting challenge. In Discovery Card snowy relatively conventional in its structure, it will be possible to collapse an ice bridge and observe an aurora in the aftermath of a cave. As for Stadium, just being able to fight near an ice rink (but unfortunately not really above) is quite refreshing, not bad pun. In all cases, you will discover a multitude of angles and corners of vicious snipe necessarily accessible from one side it will be possible to block completely. In short, everything that is expected of maps balanced and fun to play.

My Coach: Fitness Club test on PSP and PS3

The fitness programs have they become the new golden goose for publishers of video games? We note in any case they are more likely to venture onto this terrain. Quantity is not always synonymous with quality and we must learn to distinguish between the titles of the kind of quality and those who do not deserve a visit. The choice is all done in the case of My Health Coach: Fitness Club.
The love story that combines fitness and home consoles is relatively recent. Three years ago that Nintendo has opened the way with the infamous Wii Fit. Today, it is especially the Xbox 360 which has the wind in its sails in fitness programs with the arrival of KINECTS. This new accessory has indeed revolutionized the genre by allowing the console to recognize body movements directly. Ubisoft has not been the last to exploit opportunities KINECTS, The publisher has given birth to a Your Shape: Fitness Evolved rather well designed. My hope was that Coach: Fitness Club for Wii and PS3 would be the counterpart of the latter ... Admittedly we could not be more wrong. Let's start our tour of the Fitness Club with the only positive of reasons: it offers a relatively clear interface and pleasant to watch. Things get trickier when we tried to glean information consistent. The different sets of exercises are sorted in a very strange and title remains rather vague. You are entitled to know the duration of the session and whether it will make you work more on flexibility, balance, cardio, upper body, middle or bottom. The only way to know what's really behind a program is to do. This can be annoying as some exercises require a better condition than others, or even a flexible sense of rhythm quite extensive. Sometimes you will be asked for example to make relatively complex dance steps without even taking the time to break the movement to show you how. This lack Coach decidedly pedagogical virtues. Besides, do not expect a complete tracking of your efforts and your progress: the program only offers from poor diagrams summarize your past efforts. We would have liked for example that we should be set to true long-term goals and not just one or two sessions, or the famous coach the opportunity to give us advice tailored to our results.You understood, My Health Coach: Fitness Club already does not really shine in its content, but things only get worse when you discover the real exercises. We already knew the fitness programs that offer recognition movements more or less accurate, it breaks new ground by simply putting this functionality in the background. To be precise, the PS3 version offers compatibility with the optional Move Playstation. You can do without this accessory but you'll be just a spectator demonstrations offered by your virtual coaches. PS Move brings two things that are important: the camera filming you so you can get a return on your positions and the handle is sometimes contributing to whether or not you perform the actions in rhythm. No, you're not dreaming, a lot of the exercises are not compatible with any device for motion recognition. Suffice to say that we touch on one of the fitness programs totally dispensable and does not ultimately offer a lot more interactivity than a DVD.

Naruto Shippuden Kizuna Drive test for PSP

The latest iterations of Naruto on PSP does not really thrilled with it with a bit of skepticism that we saw happen this new adaptation of the manga by Masashi Kishimoto. Taking in outline the principles of Akatsuki Rising Kizuna Drive ranks undoubtedly among the most missed versions of the Naruto universe.
With perhaps a diminished vigilance of PSP owners, following the good performance of the Ultimate Ninja Heroes, Namco Bandai took the opportunity to sneak in a catalog of outings Naruto Shippuden Kizuna Drive that could wring even the most forgiving fans. It's some time since we saw an action game also determined to earn the most serious offenses, ignoring any consideration of playful order to drown in a quagmire for most unforgivable blunders.
First indication of ill omen, Naruto Shippuden Kizuna Drive opted to rely on a new story that reminds us of the worst fillers (non-series) of the animated series. It was anyway an excuse to stage a few original characters in the camp opposed to the ninja village of Konoha. Do not dream, they are not very inspired or charismatic enough to remain in the annals of the series, it would even be the opposite. We do not go into raptures about the poorly animated narrative sequences outside of the introduction, and even less about the graphics of this pitiful episode.
Not forgetting to take care to set the Japanese voices in the options, we leave aside for free mission focus for us at the outset on the Story Mode. After learning of our first goal of killing poor wild dogs, we know that we will not expect to be given quests wildly exciting. The dozen proposed missions in the Story Mode is summarized effectively in overcoming various types of opponents in combat zones highly restricted. Barely defeated enemies instantly reappear until we have fought enough to cross the barrier of lightning that prevented us from advancing further. Would that in its construction, Naruto Shippuden Kizuna Drive embodies the notions of perfection foutage of mouth and repeatability.
Whatever the proposed mission is still evolving along with a group of three NPCs that can still call at certain times to come and lend a hand intermittently. An option not negligible because our partners shine if not by their total lack of initiative and willingness to make the minimum. The call of the allies is in fact the only real peculiarity of this title, the player having the opportunity to strengthen ties with its partners to execute combos Kizuna. The latter, used only when the enemy is stunned, are to return to the unfortunate opponent as an ordinary ball projecting from one character to another as long as possible. Speed ​​becoming more and more over the exchange, it's the player that makes the decision to end the festival with the final blow which will conclude this combo team. A technique that is particularly its interest against the boss with a tonnage of life takes the entire length of the screen.

Test Call of Gods on Web

It is undeniable, the first steps in a browser game is crucial. Especially when it is free. It must attract the player, make him understand that he will immediately interest to deepen the experience. Call of Gods, it's not really the universe oriented heroic fantasy that captures the attention, or even history, but rather the gameplay . It is indeed here in front of a classic scenario that proposes to take part in a bloody war that pitted humans, elves, undead and demons. A struggle that has lasted a long time and you'll have to find a way out. Needless to say we will have to deliver countless battles against almost everyone. Before going into the heart of the game, you can choose between three races, human, elf and undead. A decision which will have a significant impact on the course of the game, particularly at the composition of your troops, as each side has units in capability.
Once the choice is made, a fairly comprehensive tutorial will introduce the basics. That is also not an easy task since Call of Gods offers a content density impressive. The interface quite well designed, however, help them see more clearly. Simply put, the game is divided into three parts, each with a different operation. There is first of all respect to your kingdom. Here you'll need to build new buildings on sites dedicated to that purpose. Some provide access to new units, others to extend your maximum population or collection of resources. These are three in number, namely wood, stone and iron. They allow in particular, coupled with money, develop your kingdom by buying or improving other infrastructure. Each building has its own level, in fact, that we can drive up. Note that in case of shortage, it is always possible to go round the market that exchanges a commodity against another. But above all, these resources are used to raise armies to go explore the world.
Then leads to the second aspect of the game here, you play directly from your camp leader, male or female, you move on a world map. On it are different areas you can access. Sometimes these cities, sometimes more wild places. Strolling is good, but profit, it is useless. Your goals will be determined by quests that you get from people in places that we visit. Overall, they ask you to go and kill so many demons in one corner of the map. Missions a bit repetitive, it must be acknowledged. Once the tasks are completed, the NPC represented by small thumbnails will give you a number of awards in the form of money, items or experience. Your avatar has obviously such a level. More it increases, your adventure will gain interest. Arrived at 10 allows for example to explore dungeons, forming alliances (some quests are for alliances), or to fight with other human players.
But to complete these quests, it will first build an army. To do this, before fighting, it will be necessary to use your capital to go out and hire heroes. These are sort of the leaders of your troops. More and more you have your army will be provided. You may enter up to twelve heroes but only six of them can simultaneously participate in a battle. They also possess a level of experience and attributes and equipment clean. Some are more talented on offense or defense, leaving other more critical hits and so on. It should therefore be given to incur additional characters. Having leaders is essential but do not forget to recruit units that can then assign them. Initially, humans for example, you only have men on foot. But soon, you may at your side riders, archers, priests, paladins and many other types of soldiers. Once your army formed, it is time to fight. So strange, you do not make any decisions during combats. They occur because the turn-hitting your units one after the other and then giving way to the opponent. These are the characteristics of the different heroes that are so unlike. If they are strong in attack, the soldiers under their command will inherit this specificity. On the battlefield are so many little characters you chiefs. The number located below each indicates the number of soldiers obeying them. One way not to display 800 characters at the same time, which seems a little too ambitious for our browsers.

Asphalt 3D games test on nintendo

This is the kind of typical reaction that may cause the new title from Gameloft, at least when we did not buy. From the introductory video visual quality dating back a dozen years, one guesses about where it has set foot. Yet the saga of Asphalt has accustomed us to good things in the past, often considered one of the best series of games on mobile cars. Thus, we expected a quality product at the impeccable production, hence the surprise at this contraption not even finished.
The principle of Asphalt, it is known. Driving cars brand is used items, Skids and other long-distance jumps to fill a gauge nitro. If it can be used for small boosts from time to time, wait until the gauge is full before using it will launch a super turbo much faster. Moreover, it shows the shortcuts and sends them collapses faster opponents returning it. It is extremely simple and in theory is supposed to be effective ... Except that in practice there is also an evil entity that attacks often games developed in a hurry: the Bugs. So this is where the magic happens, because Asphalt 3D is shielded from end to end at the point of whether the app has been tested by its developers before being placed on trade. Begin, for example, with the dreadful collision handling that seems based on a totally random system. The same shock at the same speed may very well result in removal of your vehicle or one you just hit. Worse still, your car may very well stop immediately while its speed is always recorded at 250 km / h, thus making you restart suddenly loud as possible. So, whenever one is pursued by the police, we believe in the Benny Hill Show. Multiple contacts are an opportunity to attend a festival of visual inconsistencies and misfires, in short, anything big. But if these Bugs have a great impact on the gameplay, What about the skids completely missed that give the impression of dragging (or virtually stopping) in a turn while the meter still shows 220 km / h? Besides a general rule, the game suffers some impressive waterfalls framerate when more than two vehicles are present on the screen at the same time, history in addition to chaos. Obviously, this causes some surprises, like cars off the road that appear right before your very eyes, as if by magic, causing an accident causing you to lose the race, which will never happen to elsewhere.
Here, theIALet's talk about. If you felt cheated that the console when you're playing Super Mario Kart, Asphalt 3D is an opportunity to discover that the boxes still use a IA 20 years old. For example, even if you drive at 400 km / h, it is not uncommon to see a police car pass you at speeds that could be almost completely unbelievable to calculate Mach. Indeed, whatever your speed, they are set to adapt. That's about the same for your opponents: it is entirely possible to pass a sentence by pressing on the accelerator while the next second, the same car is impossible to catch up no matter if you're full turbo. If we add the random shock management, we often feel like playing Russian roulette, especially annoying defect in a racing game. Inevitably, the actual content as we spend a little above. However, the types of races are trying to diversify between the prosecution with the police or the elimination races where you have to turn up to opponents of the route. The money raised helps unlock new vehicles and improvements. The more you race, the more you go up in level which offers the possibility of finding new sponsors providing additional bonuses. By cons, if the game features a multiplayer local game enthusiasts can brush Online. In fact the only features "online" are the rankings and downloads of ghosts. It was nice to be nice, it still lacks something there not? Finally, since this is the leitmotif of the console, briefly discuss the 3D effect, which is probably in the middle of what has been seen. The problem is that when the sets are ugly at the base, you add a nice depth effect, it is still ugly. Single vehicle modeling is doing pretty well. To finish in style, just for laughs still having problems finishing, it is quite possible as asphalt is the first 3D game where all the cars have a gearbox ... infinite! Yes, yes, even if you're up to your speed, your vehicle to change gears without any reason for a result just sound ridiculous. In short, what should we do more for 3D Asphalt worst possible choice as your first purchase of Nintendo 3DS? Even if you absolutely need a car game to go with your brand new portable console, it therefore prefer Ridge Racer 3D, which means that does not dazzle you with all his nonsense.
