Yup, I do love my job… I get to play the best games first
and this week is no different. I have this week two major games that dominated
the summer and they are Watch Dogs for the PS3 and Wolfenstein: The New Order
for PS4. Two different games, but both are blockbuster titles in their own
right.
Wolfenstein: The
New Order
Every wondered what the world would be like if the Nazis
ruled it? Well here comes a game that hypothetically, practically,
theoretically explains and depicts what the world would be like if that
actually happened.
Gameplay: 9 out of 10
Guns and more guns and then those guns get alternate fire
that will make them new guns to add to the old guns. This game is what you call a classic shooter;
when the main character could carry more than two guns and dual wield any
weapon of his choosing … Yes that includes two sniper rifles, OMG. You run
shoot and hide behind cover to regenerate some health. It’s a simply as can be
and that is what makes it so much fun. No worries about puzzles or stealth or
any nonsense that will distract you from the game. All you have to do is shoot as
many many Nazis and get to the end of the level.
Graphics and Sound: 9
out of 10
This game looks and sounds amazing for a first person shooter.
All character models are done with great care and detail. Scares, cuts,
bruises, wrinkles are the best you’ll see on next generation consoles for the
coming months for a shooter. Call Of Duty might change this when its released
later this year for all consoles. This game has some very funny dialogues and
some touching moments that were emphasized by the music used in the game. The sound
FX is top notch with bullets flying pass you in full DTS surround sound… you
just got to love it.
Final Thought
Not everyone can stand the sheer maturity and violent nature
of Wolfenstein: The New Order, but if you are up to the challenge then you
won’t be disappointed by this game and what it has to offer.
Watch Dogs
After years of waiting and tons of hype, we finally got to
lay our hands on this most talked about game called Watch Dogs. Let’s see if it
was really worth the wait and loads of pre-orders.
Gameplay: 8 out of 10
You hack computers, you shoot and you hack some more. That’s
pretty much sums up the gameplay for this game. The one thing that was done well
was how open the world you are playing in is. You can go anywhere and do anything
when you want to. This level of freedom was only available in games like Grand
Theft Auto, but now Watch Dogs is able to achieve it too. Although, the one
gripe I have with the game is the storyline which is weak and lack personality
to say the least.
Graphics and Sound: 8
out of 10
The game doesn’t look as amazing as what we saw at last
year’s E3 (Electronic Entertainment
Expo), but that doesn’t make it a bad looking game. The game is average looking
especially compared to the likes of Infamous: Second Son for the PS4. The sound
on the other hand is extremely well done with every on screen character having
dialogs that sound very life like. If there is one thing that Ubisoft got right
is the sound in this game.
Final Thoughts
Watch
Dogs is an OK game, and it’s only down fall is not living up to the hype that
was created around it. If you can over look the corny storyline then you’ll
certainly have fun with this game. The products mentioned in this article were
