Mafia-The City of Lost Heaven

How many times have you wanted to quit university, school, work/ whatever and join a life of pure action, thrill,women, guns, cash and nice cars and wish your boss was cool and do whatever they needed you to take care of?


Meet Thomas "Tommy" Angelo: He just wants a "normal" life again and this is his life story.

-Forced into the life of mafias
-Doesn't care much about women
-Makes loads of money but never uses it
-Drives the best cars and trashes it
-Doesn't do what he's told to do
-Works on putting his boss away for good

 Yup, that intro of the protagonist sums up basically the whole game.
The storyline is actually interesting and I admit its well thought of. In terms of graphics its an old game so you can understand why the graphics isn't the best, sometimes there are glitches and little things that stuff up but nothing major. The game play is also satisfying, there are many controls, actions, and the missions are challenging but not impossible. The negatives of this game is that there isn't anything else you can do apart from the actual missions. In comparison to a similar game such as GTA(Grand Theft Auto) there are many places you can go, shops to enter, and mini missions that don't relate to the main story.
Anyways this game is worth your time and I would recommend this to those who like playing third person RPGs. Although I haven't actually finished this game I would give it a 9/10 largely for its good story line.

SCP-173Containment Breach



Hello guys!!

Ever wanted to play a game thats constantly making your heart skip a beat, frustrated, and just plain impossible to beat? SCP-Containment Breach sounds just right for you! This game is specially designed to freak you out and annoy you. The storyline is quite simple, you are a worker from the containment site SCP (Secure, Contain, Protect), while you are examining one of the subjects the safe lock doors start to malfunction and the subject SCP-173 escapes killing everyone except you and through that, multiple SCP subjects are released. You play as this last man left inside the SCP containment site and must find a way to escape.

Back to topic, I played this game for about 30 minutes in total and it was pretty devastating.. I found trouble almost 30 seconds into the game as SCP-173 kept killing me as soon as I stepped through the door to the next room.. After figuring it out for about 10 minutes in the same place I managed to get through 2 rooms before I was stuck again..

The game has weird looking monsters, for example the main monster SCP-173
The thing looks pretty doesn't it? Looks like a giant teddy bear that wasn't loved so it decided to turn freakish.


1. What were the game developers thinking?? Hands that look like that doesn't make the monster scary its just two cotton balls on the ends of a stick.
2. What in hells name is that??? The bottom half of the face definitely looks like a teddy bear and the top looks like an octopus.. I think they could have done a better job in creating a monster for the game and not just a giant bear with an octopus hat.

Overall the game does really freak you out even with the funny monster, only because the music and sound effects build the tension and the monster teleporting makes it scary.
The graphics don't seem too great but its still alright because the graphics aren't such a big factor.
I think the game deserves a 5/10, mainly because its hell hard and I think I read on a forum that you cant beat it anyway!

League Of Legends

League of Legends is a free to play MOBA game. Based on the game Warcraft 3 DOTA, it is one of the frequently played games on the net. The game consist of 10 players who battle it out using a hero. It is a team based game and each side has 5 players and 3 lanes. Each team usually consist of 1 jungler, 1 mid lane, 1 ad carry(botlane),1 support(bot lane) and a top laner which can fit any role. The game has three phases Late game, mid game and early game.

Early game is usually the farming phase. Until your hero reaches level 6 or above your main focus is to kill minions and gain gold. Mid game is when you start to get a bit more exciting, farming occurs from time to time, however this is when people start dying and when you leave your lane and start killing the other team. Late game is when you roam with your team mates and finish the game with a team fight.

League of Legends is pretty fun, however there are still some such as balancing of some of the characters, but it is still popular and has been in  many competitive tournaments. 4 out of 5

Space pirates and zombies(spaz)

Space Pirates and zombies is an old school space ship shooter action-orientated space simulator game. Think of it as a open world space invaders with a lot of RPG elements. This is an indie game where you play as a space pirate raiding civilian ships and looting their stash to upgrade your own ship so you can get more money and continue in an endless loop ( or in the game money is known as rezsources), however, there are also some sort of questing in it as well. As you progress further in to the game you will encounter zombies and more heavily armed ships where you can use their ships and convert it to your own armada. There are upgrades, research development and lots of explosions in this game and the game is not complicated to learn unlike most games these days where you will need to spend half an hour to learn the tutorial. Theres a lot of fun physics and destruction as you destroy a ship which is pretty nifty to watch.



Overall its a pretty interesting game that sticks to its genre, however there are a few annoyances such as repeatition in the game for example in order to develop your R and D you must destroy more advance ships. There are over 250 worlds (more if you want to increase it) you must explore in order to develop it your motherships technology. Its also very tedious and long as you have to destroy a lot of ships in order to gain more technology. But all in all its a pretty fun game so ill give this a 4 out of 5.

New Super Mario Bros Wii

  Hey guys, this is David from the Game Review Team!!!

I'm pretty sure everyone has played Super Mario or at least heard of it right?? You know, the Japanese created Italian plumber who looks Mexican, speaks English and doesn't actually do any plumbing at all.
If you still have no clue heres a little introduction!
The original Super Mario Bros. game was a sequel from Mario Bros that was first created in the 1980s and was such a big hit that it was released in almost every console. There are games even to this day which includes Mario such as: Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers, the Super Mario Galaxy series, Super Mario RPG, Super Mario 64, Mario Tennis and many more!!

Now that we know a general idea of Mario, New Super Mario Bros Wii was released by Nintendo ( The original developers) in 2009. Since its release the game has pretty much gained wide popularity with many players and official game review sites.
The game story line follows the original Super Mario Bros where Mario is on a chase to rescue his ( still unconfirmed) lover Princess Peach who is kidnapped by the giant turtle/dinosaur/something villain Bowser. The game play includes the old nostalgic Mario controls and also includes some extra moves; spinning, ducking and shaking the Wii remote to pick up items which makes it even more enjoyable as it allows players not to grow bored from almost three decades of the same controls and game play! There are also quite a few new power ups and perks that helps you in different stages of the game, for example a penguin power up to help you through an ice stage which stops you from sliding off edges constantly, and trust me that will start bugging you!!! The game is 2D but of course has smoother and highly improved graphics, which is something cool, but don't worry it wont distract you from the game. One of the coolest thing I found was the multiplayer option where you can play with up to 4 players on the same screen. I found that pretty neat because as a kid I always wanted to play Mario with my brother and friends.

Now of course no matter how good a game there will always be room for improvement and downsides. In this game sometimes due to a few of the controls you might get mixed up while playing or forget that you have that move! This can be pretty sad when your almost about to beat a boss and you die forgetting you could of used that to save your life! The other downside is the multiplayer, I know I said that for me it was one of the cool things about the game but yeah it is included as one the of negatives. Playing with co-op is great but there are certain little things that gets in the way, for example when you jump on another player, the guy on the bottom will just fall... and if you haven't guessed already, thats a bummer for the guy on the bottom when you get jumped on in mid air over a gap. There are also little things such as picking/throwing other players or sucking them in and and spitting them out when you ride on the Yoshi dinos. Now if you still don't understand me when I play this game with my brother we spend half the time trying to kill each other. That starts to make the game too long and boring as u get sick of the same stage.

Overall, New Super Mario Bros Wii is a very good game. The controls and game play is good and fun, graphics are good, and violence if you don't like it: is minimal. The game does give you a challenge at times but isn't too hard. So unless u totally suck at 2D jumping games or you just hate plumbers, I would highly recommend this game ( If you had a Wii).

My ratings for this game : 8.5/10

Deponia

Remember those classical point and click games such as monkey island adventure. Well Deponia is such a game. Deponia is a quirky fast pace comedy adventure game that will definitely leave an enjoyable experience to the player. You play as the role of a unlikeable,cynical underdog boy named Rufus. He is a person who is completely in love with himself and his dream to leave Deponia a land that is garbage ridden and completely polluted with crap, however he then met a girl name Goal whom he kinda of fell in love with her, but is it love or is something else entirely? Goal was not born in Deponia, but in another world above Rufus and Rufus beleives that she can help him leave this pest ridden home. Even though Rufus is egotistical and self centered; he became an unlikely hero as the story progresses. Even though his personality is foul hes not disliked as all the random stuff he went through is pretty bad.

The game stands true to its point and click game, however, there is some puzzle like games in it as well to add a bit of variety to the mix. What might be annoying is some of the point and click problems might be a bit annoying to solve and figure out. Give this 4.5 out of 5 for me.

Slender Man

Hey this is Winston and my first post today is something called Slender Man.

A horror indie game created by Parsec production. First off in order to understand the game one must understand what is slender as the game was based off a mythical being called slender.

Slender man is a tall faceless man and usually appears in a black suit, however it is what people assume he looks like as no one has determined what he actually is. He is a mythical being that dates around the 16th century to prevent children from going into the woods alone as slender man abducts little children and kills them. What makes slender man fascinating is the mysterious side of him. The game gives the player the role of a yound girl venturing into the woods collecting notes left over by other children. There is a total of 8 post the player must collect, however as the player draws closer slender man also draws close to the player.The player has a flash light that gets dimmer every time you use it. If you stare at slender long enough you automatically lose and his face appears in a distorted screen. The environment itself is set at night with random houses and tall trees. As the game is created by a small group of people the graphics itself is pretty average. Slender has the magical ability to teleport behind or near the player if given the chance. This game is pretty scary and i would give it a 5 out of 5.
