Welcome to the Other Games Blog.

We have a blog just for Nintendo, so we thought we might as well create this.

Bunch of Reviews

Here we go;

Mass Effect 2 is the excellent sequel to the first in the trilogy. It features more great storytelling and characters as well as some epic choices. The best thing about this game in my opinion is that it carries over all your decisions from the first game and completely changes your experience. As far as new gameplay goes, it's amazing. The shooting mechanics have been tightened and powers are much more useful. However, they removed a lot of the RPG elements that were present in the first game, which I kind of missed, but overall, the game is much better than the first and even the resource collecting plant minigame is fun. 







Transformers War fot Cybertron takes place in the official Transformers cannon universe, before the Transformers land on Earth. It has a strong story that spans an Autobot and Decpticon campaign. The graphics are great, especially because the game in built across an entirely robotic planet. The story is perfect. It has all the characters you want, with just the right voice acting you crave. Also, the plot is crafted so well it could be ripped out of the original TV series. War for Cybertron is a third Person shooter that doesn't employ cover. This may seem odd, but I think it's a good choice. Players should feel like powerful robots, not like guys who need to duck every time they get shot at. There are plenty of weapons and grenades to play with and transforming is seamless. The boss fights are awesome, with the exception that some have 1 hit kill moves. The only real problem is that the characters (the whole lot of them) don't really feel all that different. They each have a rechargeable power and an energon power, but aside from that, they're all pretty much the same. Luckily, that problem should be ironed out in the sequel. (Note: I didn't test multiplayer)
