Star Battalion HD Quick Review

During my sick week, I switched on my Ipad² and started to browse a few sites talking about IOS games.
In my opinion, you can't really play games when you put your fingers on a screen and act like it's a real joypad but whatever...
Quick review:

+ Nice graphics (the HD version)
+ Good gameplay
+ Easy to control (a V-pad and a few buttons)
+ more centered on arcade than flight simulation
- average sounds/music
- 7-10 hours to finish the campaign
+ online multiplayer
- Achievements and hidden stuff to discover

Conclusion:
3.5/5 for Star Battalion HD for the fun gameplay but it's seriously complicate to play without a real pad.

Mass Effect 3 Deception

As you can see in many forums/videogames blogs/press, the end of Mass Effect 3 was a big fail and I am dissapointed by Bioware's attitude.

I hope they wont mock the players like they did.

Kirby Mass Attack Short Review

Waiting the time when Mass Effect 3 will be out (oops, sorry, it's out now ), I've play this nice and fun game:

Kirby Mass Attack

Let's say it's a plateform/puzzle game where you have to manage a group of kirbies ready for revenge (again):

go for the quick review:

+Good animations
+Easy to play (maybe too easy)
-Why videogames studios dont think about lefters?
+funny musics
+cheap sfx
-a little repetitive gameplay.

You can finish the game in 12 hour.

The Darkness II short review

The first episode was good, the second is nice! Let's cut to the chase:

This is the story of a guy "Jackie" whose girlfriend was murdered in the first episode and he's back for vengeance.

He has two shadow-monsters coming over his shoulders: the left one is the "grabber" and the right one is the "slasher".

When the ammo is empty, you can use a pipe to empale your enemy or whip him with the "slasher".
Just one thing: the shadow monsters dont like the light!

Jackie has another dark-friend similar to a ghoul who's helping him during the campaign.

I found there are a lot of cinematics in the game, good for having a pause but maybe it's too much?

Except this, the game is really good to play.

Quick infos:
- Cell Shading
- Story: 8/10
- Disturbing visuals, brutal & few sexual scenes
- Little choice of weapons
- Use of objects to perform killing style
- Gameplay: 8-10 hours
- Music & ambiences: 6/10
