Star Wars The Force Unleashed

18 Nov

The first sign that Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a mediocre port comes as soon as you boot up the game: you can’t navigate the menus with a mouse. On its own, this isn’t an awful fact, but it’s an omen of bad things to come. Aside from resolution and brightness options, there are no visual options to tweak. There is no antialiasing and no way to enable it. And frame rate troubles will haunt your every saber swing. It’s too bad that so little respect was shown for the platform–and to those that will spend money on this product–because the underlying game is rather good. As Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, you slice through grunting Rodians with your glowing lightsaber, go head-to-head with slobbering rancors, and punt jawas into the distance as if they were pigskins. You might be lucky enough to avoid this troubled port’s technical flaws and experience the full pleasures of The Force Unleashed, but be warned: Picking up a copy of this physics-heavy action game is one gamble that may not pay off..

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Review

18 Nov

It’s good. If you’re a fan of Ghostbusters (and maybe even Ghostbusters 2), that’s all you needed to know, so you can go out and grab your copy without worrying that you’ll have to tread through bad game mechanics just to get a few good laughs. If for some reason you’re a newcomer to the franchise, that’s OK too. Ghostbusters The Video Game is a humorous and amusing third-person action-adventure with some clever mechanics and loads of personality. It’s not all pleasurable, due to some tedious mechanics and other issues, but if what’s most important to you is some lighthearted fun, then you’ll find enough in this package to keep a smile on your face.
