Rayman Legends (9 out of 10)

Rayman Legends is what you would call an artistic masterpiece. The game has a variety of distinctive levels including quite a few musical stages that are creatively done to be played to the rhythm of a song.  Those levels are fun and funny no matter how many times you play them. Rayman, Globox and the Teensies are back as playable characters, but are joined by a multitude of other unlock able characters that you can take for a spin in the levels ahead. What makes all this even more enjoyable is the fact that you can do this with a friend in co-op mode. This game is certainly one to check out if you are in need of fun.

Bioshock 2 (8 out of 10)

 

I remember playing the first Bioshock and thinking I would have a heart attack at the next corner. Scary and eerie was the main theme in that one. Then you have Bioshock 2 which is set during the down fall of Rapture; you’ll be controlling a Big Daddy this time around which makes the game more fun and less scary. The city is still Rapture and still creepy as ever, but given the number of abilities you will have at your disposal you’ll have nothing to worry about. The game also has a unique multiplayer section slapped on to it that helps to extend the replay value. No need to worry, the second trip to Rapture is well worth your time.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 (6 out of 10)

 

The truth is I have mixed emotions about this game. The game is about accuracy, covertness, and timing which you should expect since it’s a sniper game. The most painful parts of the game for me is traveling form point A to point B. All movements have to be silent and undetectable or its instant game over. The good parts are when you actual reach point B and start picking of enemies. The graphics for this game is good with lots of jungle like stages to showcase its beauty, but half the time you’ll be on your belly crawling so get use to ground my friend. 

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City (7 out of 10)

It has the Resident Evil name but is it really? I thought I would be frightened out of my wits by this game, but I was shocked to experience a whole new type of game and gameplay. It’s more like Resident Evil meet Gears Of War and had a bastard son that took on the Resident Evil name but had his daddy features. Nothing is wrong with the game, but you will gear yourself up to play a horror game and then get disappointed. However, the game is enjoyable and has a lot of replay value due to the fact that you have multiple characters to play the main mission as. Just expect fun, and forget the horror and you’ll be fine.

White Knight Chronicles 2 (7 out of 10)

Japanese role-playing games are difficult… case and point Demon Souls. This little bundle of joy is not different in that regards by dropping you directly into the action without so much as a controller map or tutorial. This can be frustrating when you’re trying to figure out buttons and being attacked by ermines at the same thing. Fortunately the game includes the original White Knight Chronicles game on the disc, with some of the sequel’s improvements to gameplay and combat. So, you will be getting two games for the price one with 50% off!!! I love summer sales… Still, the game has a great story and wonderful visuals but you be spending most of your time figuring out the controls.

 

Final Thoughts

So, what is better than five for less than five? I would say five for less than five with 50% off. The products mentioned in this article were provided courtesy of Royale Computers and Accessories telephone#: 906-1067, 906-1068, and 754-5048.
