Multiplayer lets the game down

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is not a subtle game. The story is silly, but takes you through lush jungles, to Sarajevo and mountains in Tibet. Some segments see you working with a Spotter, or supporting another team. In these parts you are guided through where to look and who to kill. How hard this is depends on the setting. Medium difficulty gives you a red dot that helps you allow for distance and wind when shooting, but this is removed on Hard.

The multiplayer portion is small. It sets two teams up sniping against each other. This makes game pretty quiet, as searching for other snipers is a slow, painstaking process. There really needed to be more creative game modes to make multiplayer worthwhile in Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2.

Playability

The controls are well handled. You can hold your breath, which momentarily slows time, allowing you to take a more accurate shot, and in general it plays like a standard first person shooter. The night and infrared vision modes are well done, but you rarely need to use them creatively.

While it never reaches Dishonored or Hitman levels, there is a puzzle element to watching and learning soldiers' movements, and it's fun to get through a level undetected. The good looking environments don't allow for much exploration, and there isn't the same level of fascinating detail like there was in Dishonored.

Quality

Enemy AI can be a little hard to predict. When you're sniping from a great distance, and being guided by your team, this isn't a problem. When you're fighting on your own, deciding which enemies to take down first doesn't always give you predictable results. If you are detected and rushed by a few soldiers, you will find the pistol woefully underpowered to protect yourself! You can take out an enemy very close to another without problem sometimes, but if you miss, generally you'll alert everyone to your position. But not always...

Conclusion

Apart from the dodgy AI, Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is an enjoyable, if short, sniping adventure. It doesn't have the gory bullet cam of Sniper Elite:V2, but it's still a solid sniper game.

In Surgeon Simulator 2013 you play the part of a surgeon Nigel Burke. The twist is that Nigel has no medical qualifications - it's just you, some surgical tools and a body. Your goal is to complete various operations as quickly as possible with minimal blood loss starting with a heart transplant.

When you start the game, Surgeon Simulator 2013 opens with music from the British hospital drama "Casualty" set in Holby City hospital which continues throughout the game. You control the surgeon's hand with the mouse or keyboard but the first thing you'll notice Surgeon Simulator 2013 is extremely difficult to control. You control each finger separately which is tricky in itself but the hardest thing is actually picking-up tools and using them to heal and cut organs.

You will inevitably make a huge mess of your first few goes on Surgeon Simulator 2013 and hack your poor patient to pieces. I managed to send the spare heart flying across the room, before destroying the rib cage with a saw and then accidentally throwing both of the patient's lungs at his face - he had no chance after that.

At the end of the surgery, you will be given a verdict as to how the surgery went, a final blood remaining level, surgery time and rating. However, it's incredibly hard to know which tools you need and how to use them in Surgeon Simulator 2013. Some in-game prompts or instructions would have been better to prevent every operation turning into a blood bath.

There are some amusing sound effects to Surgeon Simulator 2013 - mostly Nigel Burke going "Oh No!" and "Oh Jesus!" in a cockney accent as things go wrong and your patient slips away. However, the Casualty theme soundtrack gets very repetitive and leaves you wishing the hospital TV drama had never been invented.

Surgeon Simulator 2013 is still a fun simulator which illustrates the complexity of major heart surgery whilst also being quite educational about the human body too.

While games like Grand Theft Auto strive to become more realistic and gritty, Saints Row: The Third goes in the complete opposite direction. Instead of realism, you get a hilariously vulgar script and over the top action sequences. Within the first 10 minutes of the game, you'll find yourself jumping out of a plane, shooting bad guys mid-air, jumping back into the plane, jumping back out, and shooting more bad guys.

Saints Row: The Third's never takes itself too seriously but there is still a good plot. You are the leader of the Third Street Saints, one of the most idolized and infamous gangs in the fictional city of Steelport. Saints Row: The Third gives you an entire gang to command and its resources are at your disposal. You will gain cash and experience points by completing missions. These points and cash can be used to purchase weapons, skills, and items.

Where Saints Row: The Third shines is in the combat. You're given a huge array of different weapon types. You can carry 6 different types of weapons on you at one time so you're never bored of killing enemies. There's no stealth mechanic in this game so spray and pray to your heart's content.

Driving is also rewarding in Saints Row: The Third. You can pull off long power slides and different vehicles behave differently. There are also tons of customizations that you can perform on your cars, though they're not as intensive as the character creation options.

While combat is fun, there are a few levels in Saints Row: The Third that are extremely difficult. Adding to the frustration are some finicky controls. The button used for reviving your buddies and getting into a car are the same so you'll probably end up getting into a car when you meant to rescue your friend. Some levels require precision accuracy but is hindered by a rogue camera.

Saints Row: The Third offers more than just a single player mode. You can play cooperatively with your friends, which offers special missions that aren't in the single player game but there's no competitive multiplayer mode. There's also the "Whored Mode," where players can run around killing whores. Whoever kills the most whores wins. There are several DLC packs available to add more missions and online play to Saints Row: The Third.

Drugs, sex, senseless violence: what's not to like? Saints Row: The Third strikes a balance between ridiculous gameplay and a good storyline. Just have fun and don't take Saints Row: The Third too seriously.

From the ground up

The basics of SimCity have remained the same since the first game back in 1988. You build your city from scratch, choosing a location, then planning the different areas while making sure there are enough utilities and amenities to keep the population happy and healthy.

Single or multiplayer?

When you start a game, you can join a populated region, which will have other online players, or to start a fresh region yourself. Cities are limited in size, and SimCity works best when you have multiple cities that cooperate and specialize.

Whether you prefer to play alone or with others, it's enjoyable, but it's clearly designed more with multiplayer in mind. You cannot play without being connected to EA's servers, and while we expect early reliability problems to be resolved, never being able to play offline is a shame.

Playing the game

SimCity's interface is excellent. A beautifully designed thing that lets you do everything, while allowing you to enjoy the impressive views of your creation. The amount of information and detail available is incredible, and really gives your city the feeling of being alive.

You can learn about every individual resident's wishes and concerns, and pull up statistics on pretty much anything about the development of your city. You can also check out neighbors to see how they might complement you or offer you services.

Graphics and sound

The graphics cannot be faulted. SimCity just looks great, and the filters you can add mean you can make the game look the way you want. When you're zoomed in, the detail and animation is great, and even each resident seems to have somewhat of a personality. Everything is accompanied by pleasant background music and ambient effects.

Conclusion

SimCity is an excellent and very impressive game. But it's not quite the same as it used to be. This SimCity thrives in multiplayer games, and whether you enjoy that will dictate to an extent how much you like the game.

The teething problems with servers won't last, but even reliable servers won't allow you to play the game on your laptop away from an internet connection.

Welcome to a different 1912

Bioshock Infinite is a first person shooter set in a fictional 1912, with violent combat based on guns, brutal melee-weapons and fun powers called 'Vigors.' You play Booker DeWitt, who has to pay of a debt by going Columbia to collect a girl called Elizabeth.
You are accompanied for much of the time by the Elizabeth in the game, and she is one of the best companions ever created. She helps out in combat, and her fascination with the world helps you enjoy the incredible city of Columbia.

Columbia is run by a self styled prophet called Comstock, and it's a disturbing vision of 'heaven'. His society is riddled with racism, class warfare and religious fanaticism, all of which is barely hidden by the undeniable beauty of the city of Columbia. These themes along with the violence make this very much a game for adults.

An engrossing adventure

There is no multiplayer in Bioshock Infinite, but you won't mind. The single player campaign is absolutely fantastic. The story that unfolds as you make your way to and through Columbia is excellent, and it's one of those games you'll want to discuss with people once it's over.

Traditional combat wrapped in a wonderful world

The combat is good in Bioshock Infinite, but occasionally you might feel it gets in the way of the rest of the game. Weapons are fun to use, and there are enough to suit most people's playing styles, but the enemies are limited in variety. It's a solid FPS, but the combat is outshone by the wonderful environment, story and your companion Elizabeth.

Breathtaking views

Bioshock Infinite's stylized graphics look great. Columbia is breathtaking, and the people you meet have an air of 'something's not quite right here', giving the game a really unusual atmosphere. The sound and acting is excellent throughout. The game saves with check points, which are OK, but it would have been nice to see either more frequent saves or the ability to save whenever you want.
There are three difficulty levels, which will suit most players, and when you complete it, a new ultra-hardcore 1999 mode opens up if you want a serious challenge.

Overall

Bioshock Infinite is not perfect. It's a fantastic experience, and a great example of a story that only video games can give you. But the basic framework of a First Person Shooter sometimes feels out of place in a game that pushes so much in other ways.
Breathtaking, violent, and sure to keep you thinking long after you've completed it, Bioshock Infinite is easy to highly recommend.

Huge Open world

Need For Speed World features Palmont, the city from Need For Speed Carbon, and also Rockport from Most Wanted, which combine to make a huge world to explore. There's a night/day rotation, which makes it feel more dynamic. There are no pedestrians, and little traffic. This means you won't be interrupted too often when racing, but does make Need For Speed World feel a bit lifeless.

Car Shopping

Choose a car from a small range of not very exciting cars to start with, liek the Toyota Corolla or Mitsubishi Eclipse, then roam the huge Need For Speed World looking for races. These can be multi or single player, and get into chases with the cops. Evading the police and ranking in races gives you experience points and money, which in turn unlock better cars that you can buy in the Need For Speed World showroom.

Mods

Your cars can be modified with stickers, paint and decals, and power-ups can be chosen and purchased with in game money. Need For Speed World seems pretty stable, even with loads of players online. When you enter the open world you can't crash into other players, only the environment and other traffic. Online players can only push you around if you enter a race. The cars in Need For Speed World have the forgiving, arcade style handling that makes the franchise such fun to play.

There is online chat alongside the racing, and you can add friends and meet up to race them. Graphically Need For Speed World is ok, but looks a few years old. However, this means you don't need a super computer to play the game!

Overall

Need For Speed World is an impressive massively multiplayer online racing game, and although it looks a bit basic it's really playable.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted puts you in the county of Fairhaven. It feels like a hybrid of Critereon's previous open worlds of Burnout Paradise and NFS Hot Pursuit. There are open highways, with big, sweeping curves and off road shortcuts. The city is a fantastic place to weave through traffic, and has some great playground areas that really come into their own in multiplayer games.

The single player campaign sees you trying to become the 'Most Wanted' driver in Fairhaven. There are ten drivers to beat. You earn your right to challenge them by completing the many races and challenges available to you. Each vehicle has it's own races, and you find the cars parked around the city.

The most wanted races are fantastic. They are long and really exciting, with great routes and plenty of police interference. If you do manage to win a race against one of these rivals, you then have to chase them down, and take them out to win their place in the top ten and their car! These are some of the most intense and fun arcade races you will play, and are one of Need for Speed Most Wanted's crowning achievements.

The cars all feel different, but share the excellent arcade handling that we're used to from Criterion. Drifting comes easily, and is as precise as Mario Kart, while executing handbrake turns is a breeze. You'll get customization options as you win events, giving you tire options, better chassis, Nitro and more. All of these can be applied from the excellent Easydrive menus, which you access while on the road, so gameplay is seemless.

Mutliplayer drops you into Fairhaven with a group of other racers. You are given a meet up point, and have to drive there. Once you're all together, you are given a task: this could be a race or a cooperative mission, like jump or drift a certain distance as a group. It's fast, fluid and loads of fun.

Dropping in and out of multiplayer is simple, using the new 'Easydrive' menu system, and is an example for other games of how it should be done.

Combining Criterion's greatest hits in one game does mean some compromises. The most notable for Burnout fans is that the wonderful car-crushing crashes have gone. You do see car damage on these licensed cars, but it simply doesn't compare with the carnage that Burnout Paradise perfected.

You can never please everyone, but Need for Speed Most Wanted almost manages it. Fairhaven is an excellent, and beautiful racing playground, the cars a great to drive, and most importantly the racing is intense and exciting.

Slenderman's Shadow: 7th Street has the sound effects, and the loneliness that we have come to expect from Slender related games, but it feels very tired. The street environment looks cheap, and doesn't add anything new to the series. There's a real 'seen it all before' feeling that comes with each new Slenderman's Shadow game now. If you've played one, you've played them all, and the effectiveness of Slender dimishes with each release.

As far as back stories go, A Virus Named TOM has a fun one. The city that Dr. X lives in is next to perfect. He's helped invent products that make traffic a thing of the past, as well as a lot of other cool inventions. Unfortunately, Dr. X is pretty irritated because he's just been fired by a giant corporation. Now he's created a virus to get back at the people who put him out of work.

A Virus Named TOM is a hybrid action/puzzle game that has a very retro 1960s feel to it. Dr. X's goal is to contaminate each electronic device in the city with TOM, the virus he created. It's your job to help Dr. X solve puzzles in the game to help spread his virus.

Solving the puzzles in A Virus Named TOM requires a great deal of reasoning skills. Plus you'll have to avoid enemies like spiders and electronic vigilantes who are trying to thwart your attempts at spreading TOM around.

A nice feature of A Virus Named TOM is that you can play online matches with up to four friends. The first few levels are easy to master, but the game quickly gets more challenging as you progress.

A Virus Named TOM is a fun take on a hi-tech puzzle game that most users will find to be an interesting challenge.

One of the first games to use cell-shaded graphics, Jet Set Radio combines action and platforming in a three dimensional environment, allowing you to use your in-line skates to grind around levels to collect spray paint cans so you can tag (spray signs) around the level.

Gameplay

Since the original Dreamcast controller has a lot less buttons than current generation controllers, you could consider Jet Set Radio a simple game to play. With buttons to jump, sprint, and tag with spray paint, combined with directional and camera controls, Jet Set Radio does not require a lot of button memorization.

The fictional city of Tokyo-to is broken up into individual levels, and you have to expand your gang’s territory by defending your turf and expanding into other rival group’s areas. This is accomplished by skating around levels and spraying your tag over theirs to claim the area.

Each level contains a time limit to completely tag the area. Tokyo-to’s police force is also out to stop you from tagging each area and send out SWAT police to stop you. You have a life bar in Jet Set Radio that falls each time you are hit by the police or vehicles that drive around each area. Also if you do not finish tagging an area by the time limit, you also fail the level.

The controls in Jet Set Radio still prove to be a challenge. Using a controller, you have to use the analog stick to perform patterns to complete tags. The larger the tag, the more patterns you have to complete. There was a problem with the controller recognizing the patterns that the game required, causing the loss of the combination for the score. Character movement is also really loose so changing directions in very easy, but try and use precise controls and you may have a problem.

Jet Set Radio’s core gameplay returns without any changes, but that also brought back the slightly annoying controls.

Graphics

If anything, Jet Set Radio’s graphics are bright. It features a new high definition resolution, causing the brightness to reach insane levels. The cell-shaded visuals allow for a cartoon and comic book effect, but the neon color palette can cause some eye strain. The characters are heavily stylized from the non-playable characters to the main characters that you can use.

Jet Set Radio's environments are detailed enough to give the world a real feeling in the game, but do not expect high levels of detail. It is an old game, but the cell-shading can hide the age of the game somewhat. It is surprising how well the game aged, considering newer games that use the cell-shaded technique, but Jet Set Radio’s visuals are also great.

A nice feature in Jet Set Radio is the ability to create your own tags to use in the game with the included editor. You can create almost anything you want based off the tools supplied, and it will not be long until players create very impressive tags that they created. It adds a level of customization to the game.

Audio

Jet Set Radio had one of the most incredible soundtracks and contains the majority of the original songs. The sound effects like spray painting are the same as the original and sound real. Other effects like the police officers are slightly cartoonish and there is a good amount of English voiceovers.

You will enjoy the soundtrack to Jet Set Radio, but most other sounds get lost because the soundtrack is just so good.

Worth the time?

Jet Set Radio is an excellent classic game. It is entirely worth playing if you have never experienced it before. Old school players who actually owned a Dreamcast will enjoy replaying it. It does have a different style than other action games because it actually meets quicker play gameplay. The timer in levels is slightly long and levels can get frustrating, but once you get past the learning curve it is a lot of fun.

It's rare to see a true 8-bit game in this day and age where consumers are craving hyper-realism. Retro City Rampage is a breath of fresh air when it comes to action games. It has a great sense of humor that doesn't stop throughout the game.

Story

Retro City Rampage takes cues from many different action movies. You play as a thief working to rob banks and cause mayhem throughout the city. While the themes and events in this game are obviously cliché, Retro City Rampage pokes fun of itself by going way over the top with its action sequences.

The story of Retro City Rampage plays out in cut scenes with dialog boxes. There is no voice acting in this game, which doesn't make much of a difference as it leaves more to the player's imagination. The writing in the game is fun and never stops being self-referential or purposely campy.

Players will get a kick out of trying to identify every game that Retro City Rampage pays homage to.

Graphics

The graphics of Retro City Rampage are pure nostalgia. Everything is displayed from a top down view much like the original Grand Theft Auto and even RPGs like Pokémon. Cut scenes in Retro City Rampage feature more detail but remains in the retro, '80s graphics aesthetics. While its graphics aren't very detailed, it doesn't stop Retro City Rampage from being completely engrossing.

Gameplay

Gameplay is where Retro City Rampage really shines. Players are put into this open world where any vehicle can be stolen. There is a story mode but players can deviate from the story at any time. Bored of the story? Take on some side missions instead and acquire some money.

Missions in story mode are satisfying. There is great variation from the types of missions you're giving. There are car chases, stealth missions, and missions where you have to rain hellfire on innocent civilians. Players will be rewarded with ammunition, different weapons, and points for causing more mayhem.

Throughout the game, players will be given puzzles and challenges to solve, mixing some strategy into the mindless killing sprees. You can even wander into an arcade to play arcade games, which makes for a very meta gaming experience.

While Retro City Rampage features a leaderboard so you and your friends can compare scores, there is no co-op or multiplayer modes, which is a shame. Co-op would have elevated the fun of the game by letting you wax nostalgic with a buddy.

Sound

The soundtrack of Retro City Rampage features chiptunes, or 8-bit, synthesized music. The soundtrack if fast paced and works with the crazy amount of things going on the screen at once. The sound effects are often comical in a good way. Explosions sound hefty and subsequently make them feel hefty.

Wrap-up

Retro City Rampage is a breath of fresh air in an age of hyper-real games. Its humor and addictive gameplay are more than enough to keep you smiling throughout the game.

Gameplay

The intense shootouts are told through flashback, as Max recounts how his life has hit rock bottom in the city of São Paulo. Cut scenes flow flawlessly into the action, which makes Max Payne 3 really immersive. I hope we see more of this seamless action in GTA V too.

The various multiplayer modes include the excellent 'Gang Wars' that plays out like a mini saga between two gangs. Bullet time is well integrated into multiplayer too, so that anyone in your line of sight is also switched into bullet time when activated.

Graphics and Sound

The multiplayer in Max Payne 3 means you'll be playing the game for a long time to come, but the single player campaign too offers some significant challenge. Even with Hard Lock, this game gets tough, but makes it all the more satisfying when you succeed.
