Ok time for my first review of this month

Pool Paradise (GC)
Well to start of with i was sceptical about this game, I was thinking oh no another pool game what can the do to make it any different. to all other pool games, I'm glad to say i was pleasantly surprised this game has many features others don’t including shaped tables, 11 sets of pool rules and no less than 30 very different computer opponents for you to challenge,. You earn money by betting with your opponents and then you can open many locked parts of the game including mini games and odd shaped table. The game uses a tweaked Jimmy White cue ball 2 engine so graphics are very good as is the game play. All in all it’s a very good game and well worth trying…


Humid rating
3/5


Siren (PS2)

The story of Forbidden Siren (European title), released as Siren in Japan in 2003, centers on a village in Japan that disappears following the loud blaring of a siren. This game is a very good horror game in the style of Silent hill & resident Evil. The graphics in this game are very realistic and the sound adds to the terrifying experience the games advert was taken off air due to the fact it was to scary. I’ve not had time to play this game all the way through yet but what I have played of it was very scary and very, very good a must have for horror genre fans the only downfall with this game is it can be very hard and frustrating but if you like a challenge buy or rent it ….

Humids rating
3/5

Manhunt (XBOX)

Manhunt is the story of James Earl Cash, Who is sentenced to death by lethal injection, but is surprised when he wakes up to find he’s been spared his life on the condition he takes part in an illegal game of making snuff type movies. This game is a stealth type action game. In which you sneak up behind your enemy and execute them with your many type of weapon, from knives to baseball bats, plastic bags to cheese wire I must warn you rockstar have pushed the boundaries of in game violence again with this title so it is NOT for kids it’s very dark and very sick…

4/5

I'm gonna try Hitman Contracts for Xbox

[-Sil-]

I beat Manhunt on ps2... any reason to get it for Xbox such as new content or graphics update? (though I doubt it...)

Everything else looks like substandard games.

P.S. anyone checked out the Doom3 beta? Its fuckin rediculous. Fuck Halflife2 and their scripted trailers...

Maybe I'll pick up the PC one then... but it'll be hard to take Unreal Tournament 2004 out of the computer.

You should do PC games too, they're infinitly better than console games.
