The cricket games that are available in the market such as EA Sports’s Cricket 07 and Codemaster’s Brian Lara fall way below the standards of other sports games . The quality of graphics as well as gameplay are not up to the standard which you see in games such as FIFA , Madden etc. Obviously with each installment of the cricket series from the EA , our expectations are raised but the games just dont deliver . Luckily , things are going to change .

Heroes is one of my favourite TV series . With the gaming industry now turning to TV Series for there inspiration , it was not a surprise to me when this was announced .

The game will be developed by Ubisoft who have an aggrement with Universal Pictures that will allow them to make a game based on the series . The game is expected to available for all the major platforms in 2008 . I think the series has all the ingredients for the making of a successful game . The story line is immersive , the characters are awesome . The game will give the users an option to interact with the huge universe of Heroes so definately it is going to appel to both gamers and the fan of the series .

And we can expect Ubisoft to do justice to the series with this game . There previous games such as Marvel Ultimate Alliance was well received with the fans . Now i guess the next in the line is going to be Prison Break . What say guys ?

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has banned the game in UK which means that it will not be available legally in UK .

ManHunt 2 is the follow up to the game ManHunt which enabled players to kill the enemy in lots of gruesome ways . In Manhunt 2 , you play as a psycho asylum escapee which kills the enemies in gruesome ways . According to BBFC director David Cooke Read the rest of this entry »

Remember the GTA IV trailer and all the controversey it caused . Thats a thing of the past now and recently and thanks Gta4.net , some information regarding the game is out .

• The protagonist’s name is Niko Bellic - an Eastern European immigrant who has come to Liberty City to live the “American Dream.” The game is set in Liberty City in 2007, but it is bigger than the Liberty City we saw in GTA III.
• Pedestrians are far more realistic in GTAIV than in previous GTA games - they sit on benches, smoke cigarettes, read books and generally act like any real pedestrian would in the middle of a street.
• You can choose how you want to spend your time here instead of always taking orders from others . You have a lot of choice over what you want to do . Read the rest of this entry »
