Assassin's creed is a spectacular action game that would definitely blow your mind. It is by far the best game ever made for its impressive visual and animation, particularly when you are in the middle of free running segments or bouncing over rooftops. Though it is a fantastic game, you will probably get bored with its dual storylines and repetitive quests when the game progresses.
In this game, you play as Altair, a member of the Hashshashin (or Assassins) that carried out politically-motivated murders by planning your attacks, tactics, and fight your way to escape. This game was created with the historical setting between 11th and 13th centuries in the Middle East during the third crusade. Each of the three cities are classified into three social status, namely poor, middle-class and rich. Whenever a new section of a city is opened, you are instructed for a new assassination target.
You begin to play this game with nine assassination scenarios. First, you leave the guild, and then you infiltrate the city, scale a tower, survey the area, and locate the guild. Next, you collect enough information to start your assassination. Later, you climb towers repeatedly, scan for investigation objectives and if you are fortunate, you could complete the bare minimum and return to the guild.
The controls that are found in Assassin's Creed are very unique as each face button representing different body parts of Altair. If you want to make use of the sword, it will be with your right hand. And you use the button to control your legs while leaping from a building to another building. To look around, just press the “head” button. You can modify the context-sensitive actions by holding down a trigger to switch from stealth mode to high profile mode.
Worldwide Soccer Manager 2008
Worldwide Soccer Manager 2008 is a fully updated in-depth soccer management game designed for the 2007-08 season. This game is more suitable for those who have a passion or an interest in soccer. It might be not appropriate for those who have little or no interest about soccer or the sport whatsoever as you will get bored with its scenario plays. In this case, FIFA or Winning Eleven will sound more rigid for you to play around.
In this game, you yourself take full control of over 5,000 manageable teams from around the world including clubs from leagues such as Major League, the Mexico Premier Division and English Premier League. Now, with this game you would experience the intense pressure to win out of the club and international teams from 50 countries.
From the beginning of the game, you are required to accomplish a series of goals to match the demands of your coaches, fans and even your owners. The goals vary in terms of events that will ask you to keep the team under the balance budget, to complete for a championship, and to provide a competitive and an enjoyable team to be placed on the field. While the goals might be simple for you to carry out, it is indeed not simple to coach your team to go about successfully on the field.
You are provided a game tutorial to assist you to fully comprehend all the menus and option to get the most out of this game. By following the tutorial you will be able to play this game, though it might appear as a challenging game for you to pick up for new players. Along with this Sega game, you are given flexibility in regards to how to shape your team either by building up the relationships within your own players or by cheering the players' best friends for their impressive performances; the choice is yours. While it is the best game for Sega to make its menus and options more accessible, it does not provide you with the general in and outs of the game in soccer. This game will probably get you confusing, if you only have knowledge to begin the game with players kicking the ball and ends with the ball going into oversized hockey-like net.
BioShock
BioShock is a Sci-fi- based interactive action game featuring in a first person shooter. It is enjoyable and entertaining to play from start to finish.
In this game you play a role as an unknown male who is on a plane flying over the Atlantic Ocean in 1960. Next, you will be quickly introduced into a scene of a plane crash. You later find yourself in the middle of the ocean. Walking through a spray of water blurs and waggles your eyesight, particularly with plenty of rivets, scuff marks and blood swipes everywhere, much as it would be a real life. After that, you accidentally came across a massive tall structure nearby that should not be there. The entrance of the structure is sculpted in an odd art-deco designed interior with a bathysphere waiting at the bottom, and the choice of music (plays in the lobby of Rapture's entrance at the moment you get away from the plane crash) will make you realized the environment of this gorgeous underwater city ever created. The amazing adventure begins when you enter the building. From this point, non-stop actions keep on displaying.
Absolutely agree with Assassin's Creed and Bioshock! Both are probably the most original (in terms of theme, environment, etc.) and challenging video games I have tried. Nice review as well!
