Conflict – Global Terror

Description

This installment of the Conflict series occurs in many diverse regions of the world: in Conflict: Global Terror, Red Team spends the game fighting international terrorism.

Rather than gung-ho desert tank warfare, or tense jungle ambush fighting, the game explores many non-army locations such as gas factories, cocaine production facilities and hotels.

The combat is often up close and very personal, although most levels mix up the killzone areas, giving a wide variety of combat situations over many varying ranges. Missions vary quite a bit too. Some are frenetic and fast-paced, with the team fighting for their lives, while others can be played at a much slower pace if desired. The level design really adds to counter-terrorism gameplay. Red Team is often busting sieges using C4 to blow holes in walls and smoke grenades to flush the bad guys out.

The gadgets are useful and are frequently found to be helpful: thermal goggles let the player see through smoke, and Bradley’s laser designator can mark key targets for gunship air strike. Claymore mines allow the team to protect their rear or even set up ambushes. …

Ultimate Spider-Man

Description

When 15-year-old Peter Parker was bitten by a genetically altered spider he became faster, stronger, more agile and gained the spider-like ability to cling to walls. Add web shooters and a costume and Peter becomes Spider-Man. Eddie Brock, Jr. is Peter’s childhood friend. In search of his scientist father’s legacy, Eddie came in contact with a symbiotic suit which transformed him into the monstrous Venom. Ultimate Spider-Man follows both their Brian Michael Bendis-scripted adventures, as Spidey attempts to prevent Venom from killing innocents while Venom seeks to avoid S.H.I.E.L.D.’s machinations.

The Ultimate version of the Spider-Man mythos revamps the franchise, bringing in edgier (and often younger) versions of famous superheroes and supervillains. The Human Torch, Wolverine, Electro, and Green Goblin are some of the Ultimate characters who make appearances. Ultimate Spider-Man features a fully rendered, cel-shaded Manhattan open to exploration. …

Fantastic 4

Description

This game is a licensee of the 2005 movie “Fantastic 4”. Unlike many licensed titles, this third-person action game in the vein of the Onimusha or Devil May Cry series only takes the base of its plot from the actual movie, then liberally changes it to make for better gameplay.

Generally, the game brings in more content from the comic books than the movie, particularly considering the villains that appear. While the movie pretty much only concerned itself with Victor von Doom aka “Doctor Doom” as its supervillain of choice, the game brings in various characters from the comic books as well – the Mole Man, the Puppet Master, or Diablo, to name a few. …

Prince of Persia – The Two Thrones

Description

After many dangerous adventures, the Prince finally makes his way home to Babylon, bringing with him his new bride Kaileena, the Empress of Time. Their hopes for a peaceful and happy future together are dashed, however, when they arrive in Persia to find the land ravaged by war. Kaileena is promptly captured and murdered by the evil Vizier, and her death unleashes the Sands of Time, from which the Vizier derives terrifying new powers.

Once again the Prince of Persia must stand to fight, but this time he will be stronger than ever, thanks to his new alter ego the Dark Prince, born of the Prince’s contact with the Sands. As he fights to reclaim his kingdom from the hands of a madman, he must also battle with his own inner demons as the Dark Prince threatens to consume him entirely.

The game is very similar (in terms of fight and puzzle sequences) to the previous installments of UbiSoft’s Prince of Persia trilogy: The Sands of Time and Warrior Within. There are some major innovations like the character of the Dark Prince, who possesses the main protagonist from time to time and offers him new combos and moves. There is also a new ability, called “Speed Kill”, which is very effective against all opponents in the game (victims are attacked from behind and murdered in brutal and stealthy fashion). …
