Armageddon Games Preview Part 2

Ubisoft’s King Kong is looking pretty damn impressive. An action/adventure that looks to have enough action to keep even a hardened gamer happy. The one Ubisoft title that I had been hoping to take a look at, I couldn’t find. Brothers in Arms was an awesome game, and it’s sequel Earned In Blood looks even better on the trailer, but with out actually playing it, I wouldn’t want to rave about it too much!

Rockstar were showing off The Warriors. An classic movie turned into a video game. The look and feel of the game was good. Easy to get into, with the usual controls, but it suffered from the same problems as most action/adventure games: you can’t always take the most direct route. An interesting title, but not one that blows you away!

Sony’s latest party toy is BUZZ! The Music Quiz. A TV game show styled music knowledge game that will be a hit at parties and other gatherings this Christmas – you have be warned!

But the big one would have to be Microsoft and the X-Box 360. Now there is a sexy console. Sleek and with curves in all the right places, and a controller that just melts into your hand. Sadly theirs no official date, or price. In fact other than a jaw dropping trailer of a couple of games, Microsoft didn’t have much of anything. But I will say one thing; It’ll be worth the wait when it reaches NZ sometime early next year. Forget buying Christmas presents and save your money for a 360!
