26/11/2013

Before GTAV took us to the sun-bleached sidewalks and humming concrete freeways of present-day Los Santos and beyond, there was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the biggest GTA of the PS2 era. Now, head back to the early 90s with CJ and the Grove Street Families when Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas comes to mobile devices next month.

Encompassing Los Santos, San Fierro, Las Venturas and everything in between, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has been upgraded for its mobile release. Newly remastered graphics including dynamic and detailed shadows, greater draw distance, an enriched color palette, plus enhanced character and car models make this the best-looking version of San Andreas yet.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas also features brand new touch controls including contextual control options to display buttons only when you need them and three different control schemes for driving and maneuvering, as well as a reworked checkpoint system for easier progression. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for mobile also comes equipped with full controller support, including Made for iOS controller capability on iOS7. It will be available for select iOS, Android, Amazon Kindle and Windows Mobile devices. Stay tuned for more details in the weeks ahead.

Battlefield 4 Commander App available today.

15/11/2013

0 Comments

 
When DICE and EA announced the next title for the Battlefield series, one of the big features showcased was the  return of the Commander Mode, which had been missing from the franchise since  2005’s Battlefield 2. With an overview of the match, the Commander can be used to support their team, and in the right hands help their team to victory.  

When presenting the return of Commander Mode, DICE also announced something completely new to the role, the Battlefield 4 Commander app. The application gives players the ability to join the fight from anywhere, using either a 3G or Wifi connection.

From today, soldiers can now join in game as a commander from their iOS (soon to be followed by Android) tablets.   The Battlefield 4 Commander app is available from the iOS App Store. Android tablet users will have to wait until “later this month” according to the official Battlefield 4 Facebook page before joining in on the mobile mayhem.

Early Impression; STAR WARS® PINBALL: BALANCE OF THE FORCE

16/10/2013

 
This is a very early view and we will be creating individual reviews for all of the Zen Pinball tables over the coming weeks and beyond. However today the Balance of the Force pack dropped and I have spent some time on each table. 
Just for transparency all the scores are form my first full game on the table and I played on the Vita (My platform of choice for Pinball) with the view 4 option selected.

Episode VI

Picture

Score; 16,386,974

Of the original trilogy Return of the Jedi is usually the lowest ranked film and of the three tables its my least favourite.
Its very well presented with a tough opening trick shot but the table feels too wide for the Vita screen. Its a small thing but it really shows as the other tables all feel ideally suited. Otherwise the basic gameplay feels very safe with the specials creating all the buzz.
I can see it may grow on me but I will have to move from usual view

Darth Vader

The most striking thing about this table is the ambient lighting. The glowing red floor creates a menacing table and feels perfectly suited to the character it depicts. The table is pretty fast with a compact set of set in the center.
The specials are based around Vader specific scenes from the Trilogy and they play out with Zen's usual panache. I can see my score growing a lot bigger as it was just silly mistakes that cost.
The Highlight of the table has to be the multiball sections but I will not spoil why except to say Glow.

Score; 107,097,928

Picture

StarFighter Assault

Picture

Score; Rebellion, 41,993816
Score; Empire, 48,772,780

The two scores above are pretty much the reason I love this table. It defines balance with half the table being for the Empire and the Rebellion on the other. However if you think this is the only duality to the table you will be mistaken. At the start you get to decide which Starfighter you will control and this changes the look of the bumpers (they are in the shape of Canons) to the voices and even the Space Invader style mini game. This is my favourite of the three and I know my score will be climbing on bothsides
Overall for £7.99 I can highly recommend the Balance of the force pack, the three tables have the usual polish and will offer a great challenge. Look out for the full reviews coming soon

Batman; Arkham Origins is going mobile.

14/10/2013

 
At this point I do not think there will a platform that is not getting attention from the upcoming Batman Arkham franchise (well maybe not the Ouya). This is due the announcement over the weekend during NYCC of an upcoming Free to play title for mobile devices. Initially launching on the iOS platform during the full game's release and later to be followed by the Android version.
The trailer below shows some of the graphics and it is looking pretty good at this juncture, for a free add on to the franchise this could well be worth a download.
