Games Day – Players Needed!

February 21, 2012 in Gamers, Nintendo, PS3, Site News, WII, xbox360

Welcome back to all gamers! We are organising our first in-house gamesday for next week, and both players and testers are needed! We will affect a mock set-up tomorrow in F9, and schedule the first games day for 1:15 early next week. If you want to be part of this, comment below, speak to one of the CODEx organisers or pop along on the day to play a slot.

These games will be fast-paced 1on1, or at most 2 on 2 so that as many games and replays as possible will be hosted.

The first game by popular consensus will be Nintendo Wii’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl

First tournament-drop-in is WEDNESDAY next week. That’s the 29th of February.

RESISTANCE 3

February 18, 2012 in Action/Adventure, Art/Photography, First Person Shooter, Gamers, PS3

in this new game a band of survivors led by an x marine are trying to take the earth back from an alien race called the chimerans which have taken control of most of the earth .what this game has to offer is excellent selection of weapons it also has great environmental graphics also a very challenging campaign and one of the most best features of this game is the intense multi player which i say is one of the biggest online multiplayer games in the wourld where there is nearly 50 people playing at the same time which is a massive amount .the campaign which leads on from resistance 1 and 2 what makes the campaign hard is your health does regenerate over a short period of time like in mw3 or bf3 which can make it quite difficult at times when the chimerans are barring down on you when you have low health but health packs are plentiful and are very easy to come by but still it makes it that bit harder .there is not a lot of bad news about this game though only there is no matchmaking for cooperative online play aswell the campaign is very jumpy.in my opinion what i love about this game is the graphics and the detail of the scenery and the chimerans but ill leave that to you please feel free to leave your opinions and your score rating.

MY SCORE RATING FOR THIS GAME IS 8.5

Black and White 2 Review

February 9, 2012 in First Person Shooter, Gamers, PC/Mac, Real Time Strategy, Vintage Gaming

So, I recently got this game for PC. Black and White 2. I haven’t really gotten all that far in the game, but I figured I’d get this written before I got bored of the game.

Black and White 2 is a god-game – you play as a Greek god and apparently in this world the Greeks are monotheistic since the only other gods are ones controlling other civilizations.

You start off(after the short tutorial) under attack – the powerful Aztec tribe are attacking your Greek cities and you must flee to new lands before all is lost! Quickly you must drop what few citizens you can into portals to bring them to your new home and do what you can to slow down the Aztec advance by knocking large bales of flaming hay into their soldiers. Fun.

Once you’ve made it to your new home, it’s a whole new start…or so you think. You come out not far from an abandoned Greek town on an island with a few other Norse(also monotheistic, it later turns out) settlements, one with two squads of rookie soldiers patrolling around them. Fun.
This is a bit of a tutorial-ender, introducing concepts of building structures, creating armies and causing other settlements to migrate to you by means of becoming sufficiently impressive.

Well, that’s all I’ve really done. I did say I haven’t played much, hmm?
So, my thoughts on the game. Story-wise, it’s nothing special so far – we have been removed from our lands! we must build an army to fight back.

Even though it’s a late 2005 game, it’s graphically quite pretty. Nothing uber-high-res or anything like that, but it does what it needs to do and then some.

Gameplay is a bit awkward. I’ve had some troubles with not being able to build in places for no apparent reason – terrain unevenness, I guess? Apart from that and a few other niggles like an inability to control your Creature (which is basically a pet that can fight, gather, build etc.) directly it’s fairly good.

Performance, well, my machine can run it fine. I’ve probably been capping at 60fps and it looks very smooth.

Overall I think I’ll give it 8/10. It’s a good game and I like it, but the interface is a bit clunky, clicking what you want is difficult and things like that prevent me from giving it a 9 or 10.

Sony’s Vita bombing!!!!!!

February 7, 2012 in Gamers, Handheld Consoles

Is the PS Vita in trouble before it even hits Europe? I just saw on the net that sales are tanking in Japan, aka home of the handheld systems! Compared to 3DS, this is a bad sign, and I don’t want to go looking for this system if it is only going to be around for the length of a sneeze! What do you guys think?

What is the difference between difficult and frustrating?

February 3, 2012 in Gamers, PC/Mac, PS3, Vintage Gaming, xbox360

Just curious – am well finished with Demon Souls, and still plugging away when I have time with Dark Souls, but when I stepped away to play Skyrim and Deus Ex HR recently, I felt like I was colouring by numbers again! What do you guys think the key difference between a rewarding level of difficulty is against infuriatingly near impossible gameplay? Is it when you play as hardcore or veteran in Halo/CoD etc. which only lowers your shielding while raising enemy HP, or is it a finely-tuned task that takes precision and timing – or is it something else entirely? What makes the difference for you? What games fall into each category?

Is the Wii dead?

February 2, 2012 in Gamers, Nintendo, Uncategorized

So I was looking at the Wii over the week and was wondering when was the last time I played it? I can’t remember even now! I know it has been out for a while, but does anyone think that it is over? Were there really any good games for it compared to PC, xbox or ps3? It was ok for playing with a few lads de odd time, but it been gathering dust since Christmas again! I have Wii fit and seen it on about twice, and besides Mario Galaxy cannot think of another decent game – what you think??

Starcraft II: Odd Trips and Ticks, or something

January 31, 2012 in Gamers, PC/Mac, Real Time Strategy

I figured I’d throw this out here. A few not-so-well-known tricks, like easy ways of killing particular units. So, here goes, I guess? These tips will assume you’ve actually played the game, BTW. Also this will be a running effort – it will be updated every so often when I learn new things, so check back often!

OT&T #1: Phoenixes are weak to Feedback from High Templar, because they have energy and no direct means of attacking ground as well as being fragile units.

OT&T #2: Drones are the strongest workers! One probe vs. one drone, drone will win. Drone vs. SCV, drone will also win! The regeneration trumps the +10 extra health for SCVs.

OT&T #3: If you mainly use units that don’t fire visible projectiles, they won’t “overkill”. So, for example, Marines won’t all focus on one unit unless you tell them to. Similarly, sieged-up tanks won’t all shell one Zergling if forty of them suddenly come in range of multiple tanks.

Xbox 720 update…kinda – Will Microsoft remove the ability to play second-hand games on their next gen. system?

January 27, 2012 in Gamers, Upcoming Games, xbox360

It is only a rumor, but it is (allegedly) being discussed at Microsoft HQ to remove the ability to play second hand games on the new system in development – the Xbox 720. This, if true, would have a profound effect on gaming around the world, as it essentially is a measure to register and link newly purchased titles with your specific xbox account and/or system, much the same way that modern DLC is twinned to it now. This measure could prevent users from buying second hand in places like Gamestop etc. with intent to play on their own system. Again, it is only a rumor, but one with some possibility, as developers lose out a great deal when titles are “recycled” in such stores rather than bought new, and Microsoft is a HUGE game developer in its own right.

So what do you think? Does this affect you as a gamer, or do you think that it is a positive or negative step in the industry?
