Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing

Adam Siddiqui takes on Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2. Like Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 Episode 2 fails to fix some issues of the first title and doesn’t deliver the classic Sonic experience that was promised in 2009.
"Not going to lie, I hadn’t heard of Doc Clock or his friends until yesterday when they ‘appeared’ on my recommended list. What the hell, I thought, since buying a spectre pack in Mass Effect 3 — mistake much? — had left me with over eight quid in change I had the funds, and recently I’ve been surprisingly satisfied with most downloadable titles I’ve played. So £7.99 later and there we where, in possession of a game I’d never heard and taking my first leap of gaming faith in months. In a house..."
Xenoblade Chronicles is the first game from the "Operation Rainfall" list to be released in the United States. While the game may be almost two years old to the rest of the world, it's still a relevant JRPG for the modern console era, and one that definitely should not be missed.
"GamingUnion: "Despite the fact that Sonic should be clearly better at running, Mario should be the obvious contender for anything jump related, and Wario should be completely banned from competing in any kind of athletic event, the 2012 Olympic games have heralded in a new crossover title to celebrate the upcoming Olympics. Those familiar with the prior games will get the general gist: characters from both Mario and Sonic franchises team up to compete in a wide variety of Olympic-related even..."
"But throughout its many generations, Mario Party has carried a fatal flaw, buried deep in its DNA: In spite of your proficiency at mini-games, or penchant for board game strategy, Mario Party is dictated by the dice roll. Randomness, which Mario Party 9 flaunts with a particularly annoying brand of euphoric abandon, ultimately ruins what could be a very good game."
Ubisoft released Michael Jackson: The Experience shortly after the singer's death. It has been on virtually every platform now with the release of a Vita version at launch. Does it improve on the past attempts?
"GamingUnion: "The Last Story is a game that will be instantly familiar to fans of director Hironobu Sakaguchi and his past work. It has the quirky crew of JRPG tropes, the vivid and exotic fantasy world, and the foreboding title. Granted, it seems somewhat inevitable that any new game from the creator of Final Fantasy will share themes and aesthetics with Square's famous franchise, but that doesn't stop it from being a rather interesting game.""
"If the only music games you’re familiar and keep up with are those who’s titles end with “Hero” or start with “Rock Band,” then the rhythm game genre may have appeared to stagnated in the past few years. In fact, amazing rhythm games are coming out all the time, but don’t receive as much attention as their plastic guitar brethren. Rhythm Heaven Fever might just be the perfect opportunity for skeptics to see that rhythm games are alive and well."
Being one of the best looking games on the Wii to date and probably one of the last games to be made on the Wii in the upcoming year or so we expected everyone to have the Wii controls down. They proved it with this game, an awesome battle system that is very nicely designed for the Wii brings this title up to match with Mistwalker's former titles.
This link contains a video review of Nintendo's latest Wii game, Rhythm Heaven Fever! BNGR is a game reviewer that takes on the latest Nintendo games and reviews them without any special effects.
Daav from NoobFeed.com marvels at the brilliant world of The Last Story. This Wii exclusive has it all: strong acting, a compelling story, fluid and tactical combat, tons of side-content and a bunch of unique gameplay elements that make this game unique. This localization effort was done perfectly.
"On the Wii, Mario and Sonic’s latest venture into waggle athletics is divided into two categories. The 21 Olympic events are whimsical renditions of real competitions, such as 100m sprints, hurdles, relay races, long jump, freestyle and synchronized swimming, uneven bars, soccer, table tennis, fencing, beach volleyball, hammer, discus and javelin throw and so on, each getting players up and active, thrusting, twisting and flicking their Wii Remotes in hopes of achieving gold medal glory. (All..."
"If you are dead set on buying in with a long-term commitment, the Hardened Edition, with a 1-year Elite membership and other extras right out of the box, is the way to go — and you will get your money’s worth. But like a sports franchise, your best bet is to rent the game or borrow a copy from a friend, play through the campaign and kill some time in multiplayer, then return it and wait to do the exact same thing all over again in a few months. At this point, until the series takes grander le..."
"At the two ends of the map are sandbag-mounted chaingun turrets which, when used properly, can wreak havoc on enemy forces. Like the one in the Bakaara map, it’s suicide to spend much time firing, since it makes you an easy target for distant snipers. The two miniguns on Liberation are great for crowd control, however. Just be sure to note: they’re not usable in Survival mode, only multiplayer."
"It’s been a long time since we saw a full-fledged Rayman game on a console. Despite some handheld remakes, Rayman has been stuck in the shadows of the manic Rabbids ever since their debut on the Wii years ago. Fortunately, Ubisoft hasn’t forgotten Rayman’s role as one of the greats of the platforming circuit. But Rayman has taken a unique turn for the series this time around. With his colorful crew of companions, Rayman has set aside his third dimension and starred in a brand-new 2D platforme..."
The Kore Gang is solid platformer. The game feels very 90s nostalgic. The game looks good and plays great, and best of all its the kind of game anyone can pick up and play. Goozernation wonders why more games can't make motion controls this easy
"This story mixes things up a little bit: Princess Zelda is not royalty. That’s right, she’s actually Link’s childhood best friend and instead of living in Hyrule, we’re up in a city in the clouds called Skyloft. A boy like any other studying at the Knight Academy, Link alongside his unique red Loftwing dreams of becoming a senior knight of Skyloft. Yet everything goes Kikwi-shaped when Zelda is lost to the clouds, and the task to save her befalls Link."
"GamingUnion: "Despite gracing Japanese gaming consoles since 1991, until the release of Boom Street (Fortune Street in North America) audiences around the world had almost no exposure to the Itadaki Street series. Instead, they were only teased by games which combined the likes of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest and Mario all into one unique and interesting board gaming experience. But those days of teasing are over, with Boom Street attempting to convert Western gamers away from their classic Mo..."
""As I exchange fire within the on-rails shooter, Heavy Fire: Afghanistan, no feelings that generally resonate with militaristic subject-matter are present. There’s no sense of urgency or importance, no attempt is made at anything beyond superficial conflict, and even the bombastic spectacles that drive home the thrill of warfare in many of today’s military shooters are nowhere to be seen. Either way, I continue to be transported from cover to cover, turret to turret. I guess I’m just along fo..."
"Rayman is one those series that everyone knows because it captured the hearts of younger gamers and nurtured it with loving visuals, a simple story and a very gradual difficulty curve. Rayman Origins is no different and it’s a fun as I remember the original Rayman being."
You Don't know Jack may be the best trivia game of this generation of consoles. Anyone can pick up and play it. Best of all its dropping in price so fast, every game should pick it up.
Daav from NoobFeed.com gets a thorough workout with WWE '12. A big load of small grievances and flaws plague this entertainment title, but it just barely keeps its hands on the top rope and retains supremacy. It's even possible to view this game as an action/adventure due to its large story building.
The Adventures of Tintin may comes off as a movie game. But for fans of the series and 2D platformers, Tintin has a lot to offer in the way of content. Its simplistic game play makes it very easy to pick up and play
"The story is set on two giant gods; Bionis and Mechonis (as shown in the image below), who stopped functioning after a seemingly never-ending battle with one another. Shortly later, there was life. These civilians began to build colonies on the exterior of these gods and all seemed well until the residents of Mechonis (the machines) waged war on Bionis (home to biological life forms)."
To make sure we have all angles covered, RealGamerNewz enlists the help of Tristan Werbe once again to bring us the Xbox 360 RGN Review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, also known as Call of Duty 8, but who's counting anyway right?
