With all the vampire crazy going on now a days (True Blood the hit show on HBO, Twilight which is anticipating its sequel in theaters later this fall, and now the new series on the Vampire Diaries) I figured that it would only be right to do my first review on a vampire base anime and manga.

First, the anime movie “Blood: The Last Vampire” directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo  is truly not the typical vampire story I am use to.  The move is a must watch! It kind of reminded me of “The Dark Knight” in the sense that “Blood: The Last Vampire” is well dark.  The movie is sweet, short (I actually was expecting to see more) and to the point: Saya (the main protagonist, a half breed human) must slay the Chiropterans, a vicious breed of bat-like creatures.

Saya who works for a secret American government organization called Red Shield. David who works for the organization helps her from time to time in the film and seems to care for her well being besides the fact that she is the only one that can handle these creatures. After all she is the last vampire.

So I don’t want to give the movie away but I will give you the pros and cons! The pros: The opening scene alone is bloody and action-packed! Like I said before the movie is short and to the point so you will get all the action (and not much talking). This is where a con comes in. Since the movie is short you don’t have that character development you usually get in movies. This however does not take away from the good script or from the story. It is well execute and if you are a fan of guts and blood then this movie is for you.  The animation is ground breaking in my opinion and will enjoy every moment of it!

It is well execute and if you are a fan of guts and blood then this movie is for you.  The animation is ground breaking in my opinion and will enjoy every moment of it!

My final word is that if you haven’t seen you should! It won’t let you down!

As for the manga, written by Asuka Katsura, I wasn’t sure what to expect because it was the first time I was reading a piece of work by him.  The “Blood” manga series is written in three different series and by three different writers.  The first series “Blood” written by Katsura is aimed for a more mature audience.  This first series is compromised of five volumes. But unlike its anime counterpart is has a more light hearted feel to it.

The protagonist here is also named Otonashi Saya (Japanese write the family name first then first name).  She is also the only one that can kill these Chiropterans but she has no relocation of her past violent life.  She is now adopted by a man named George who knows of her past and two other adopted boys who are Saya’s older and younger brothers.  She leads a normal life under this family and cannot recall anything before the year of her adoption.

I do enjoy the humor Katsure adds to the manga but I was hoping the grim moments the anime film provided.  I am not sure that Katsure nicely executes the harmonious balance between your happy go lucky moments and your cold hearted I will rip you guts out moments.  I will give this series another shot being that there are only five volumes but at the moment I don’t highly recommend this as a must read. For now I think you guys can do without.

Shadow Complex has been on the lips of every gaming media outlet known to man.  So, quite naturally it is on ours as well.  I’m am still jonsing to pick up the controller again and run amuck within the complex.  I’ve already made it quite obvious that more of these types of games should make their way to XBLA and PSN.  So here’s what I’ve thought on the latest gem from this emerging trend.

Presentation-8.5

Chair, the developers behind Shadow Complex, showed that they were taking great strides to truly craft a game that sucks the player into the world.  Cut scenes were well designed and not to over the top, and they were quite exquisite to look at.  At times I completely forgot that I was playing an arcade title.  Another struck of genius, the scripted events that would play out while you were trapped underneath a floor board, or stuck in the next room.  The way that more of the story unfolded while you were sneaking above guards head lends itself to Bioshockess (Boo-yah! made up word on display) radio tapes.   It managed to keep me engaged in the story without interrupting the flow of what I was doing; it also gave me the sense that I was eavesdropping to garner the secrets for a covert operation.  While I enjoyed the cut scenes, I wanted more of the scripted events to play out while I made my way through the complex.

Gameplay-9.5

Now this is nostalgia!  If Super Metroid, Castlevania, Mega Man, and other old school adventure games where exploration was pivotal, came together to make a baby;  Shadow Complex would be the son that grew up and made them all proud to call their own.  The 2d platforming with the twist of having enemies to shoot at in a 3D background kept the game fresh.  And the different amount of ways to take an enemy out keeps you thinking of new and sometimes comical ways to get the job done.

Lasting Appeal – 9.0

While it’s heavily encouraged to be the fastest to beat this well crafted game, does not make this a short romp at all.  Seriously skilled gamers will find it a joy to get some of the speed based achievements while casual players will enjoy exploring every nook and cranny to get to all the goodies.  Plus with the Proving Grounds challenges, the persistent in campaign leader board will keep every player coming back for more.

Listen up gamers; how many of you out there in the vast infinite of cyberspace have or have played Saint’s Row and Saint’s Row II. Well for those of you who are reading this right now just open your eyes and think about purchasing you a copy of Saint’s Row. Now I know what you might be thinking right now; you’re saying to yourself why Saint’s Row? What makes Saint’s Row so good? Well I’ll tell you in the top 5 reasons why one should get these games.

#5

The game gives the player the opportunity to dish out pure un-relentless Mayhem to unsuspecting people.

#4

It is just Way better then Grand Theft Auto

#3

The game play for Saint’s Row is refreshing and a real pleasure to just have when you’re faced with having to play Grand Theft Auto

#2

Did I mention how Saint’s Row is WAYYYYYYY BETTER then Grand Theft Auto

#1

The number one reason why one should get both Saint’s Row titles is the Story line. The Story line is simple and easy to follow; and sometimes simple is just better.

Now I know that some of you Grand Theft Auto fans are reading this and is wondering why so harsh with the game? Well after Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto London 1969, Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto Vice city and so on, and so on, and so on. One would have to figure that the game is just not going anywhere and not trying to advance itself since Grand theft Auto 2. Yes it is different place with the games but that’s all it is, nothing more and nothing less. I truly don’t have anything against the game, but there is so much hype about this game title and there is nothing that I can see that has lifted this game from its second release

Remember gamers Saint’s Row is a game that many should purchase if you want to play a game that is actually the total opposite of Grand Theft Auto. Yes one can steal cars, beat up people and do various tasks in both gaming titles but with Saint’s Row it just looks, and plays so much better.

 Now if you have been taken notes, you will know that Dark Void is one of my most anticipated games.  After watching some of the early gameplay footage, I knew that this was a game that I wanted to showcase here on BG21gamers.   With the impending release of Dark Void approaching I felt like it was the right time to revisit what I think will be a phenomenally fun game.

The Story So Far….

So as it goes for now, you play as Will just your average run of the mill 1930’s cargo pilot.  By chance Will manages to fly into the Dark Void while traversing through the Bermuda Triangle and then calamity ensues.  Aliens, a whole new world or the same world with an alternate reality are all mysteries of the Dark Void that you must overcome to make your way back home.  Equipped with a jet pack and a gun you are in for one hell of a ride.  Call me crazy, but it sounds a little like that beloved Saturday morning cartoon Dungeons and Dragons.  Regular kids in an amusement park get on a Dungeons and Dragon ride to be transported to the world of D&D.  Then they magically gain powers needed to help them get home.   The similarity is there trust me on this one…or maybe it’s not.

Have Jetpack Will Travel

The idea to use a jetpack as part of a key component to Will getting around makes for some interesting gameplay ideas.  This 3rd person action shooter will not only have a good ground Gears of War cover mechcanic, but  that same mechanic will be intact during sections where you use the jetpack for vertical platforming.  One of the latest previews of Dark Void states that there will be a meter to limit how long you’ll be able to fly around; however a hover mechanic was hammer out to allow for advantageous gameplay.

The Long and the Short of It

I don’t know what more that needs to be said, from all the latest write ups it seems that Dark Void is shaping up to become a wonderful addition to an already staggering amount of games being released during Christmas Pt 2.  Dark Void is a game that will hopefully avoid the label “Sleeper Hit”.  This game should be a success right out of the gate.  So mark your calendars for January 12, 2010, get out that second plate of cookies & additional glass of milk, and hope that Santa comes back around to drop more gifts under the tree.

I love RPG’s.  It’s my favorite genre amongst them all.  The more and more I hear about the PS3 exculsivie White Knight Chronicles the more it makes me want a PS3 just for this one game alone.  I know this is a time of economic hardship and whatnot but White Knight Chronicles seems to be shaping up to be The Truth!!  I have to give a special shout out to Kosmo Oches for the sick cinematic trailer.

Now with this game releasing in Japan in December it was only fitting for sony to show it off at TGS 08.  Now I can’t tell you what some of the Level 5 presenters are saying but at least you can get a good glimpse and feel of the gameplay that is going to make White Knight Chronicles stand out from the pack.

I’m sure you’re saying to yourself that this is just your everyday run of the mill japanese rpg right? 

“Oh all it is is a bunch of movies with emotion to make me cry and then when we’re fighting I have to wait forever while I summon some mythical dragon that’s in all every rpg and when thats done I have to stand perfectly still while I get attacked to damn death!”

Isn’t it kind of scary how well we know you.  Well I’m here to tell you that’s is so far from the truth.  White Knight Chronicles will be featuring a robust 4 player online co-op quest mode; while the single player campaign will not offer co-operative play the quest mode will link to the single player campaign in some form  or fashion. According to the lastest Hands On by Joystiq from this years Tokyo Game Show:

“When online play was announced we assumed it would be a tacked-on extra, a back-of-the-box value add, but the rest of today’s presentation centered around this aspect of the game. Even though White Knight Chronicles‘ Japanese release date is December 25th 2008 – only two and a half months from now – Level-5 wasn’t keen on sharing many details of the online mode. Instead, we were given an overview of the feature, which was enough to illustrate that this is more than just an “extra.”

16-player in-game lobbies will allow you to team up with up to three other White Knight Chronicles players and participate in instanced quests. Level-5 would not say exactly what form these would take, but they did show a cooperative, arena-style battle against a large monster. Each player’s character will look unique, thanks to a deep “Avatar” character customization editor, used in the later parts of the single-player game in order to generate some of Leonard’s party members.”

 Now I’m geeked and I don’t even own a PS3 so I know must of you who do must be dancing in the streets by know.  Granted there’s no word on when this game will be hitting the states…at least not one I have found yet, but Sony would be foolish not to bring this to jrpg starved fans.  According to the Break Down of the Newest Trailer, by IGN the game is looking quite gorgeous:

“The first trailer was a combination of pre-rendered cutscenes and in-game cutscenes. I must admit that the cutscenes looked absolutely fantastic. People generally think of Square-Enix and Blizzard when they think of high-quality cinematics, but the level of detail and the jaw-dropping realism of Level-5’s work was more than admirable. The trailer began with a beautiful acoustic guitar strumming away to a lilting Japanese tune. A cutscene shows some inspiring vistas, including a massive cliff face and sprawling cities.

Several “in-game engine” scenes are also shown. Most of them were shots of the characters superimposed onto background scenes, almost like a standard anime introduction. A few familiar characters were displayed, including the protagonist, the short-haired girl and the grizzled, bearded man. There were also a few stylish shots of a seductive character cut into the mix, as she performed what appears to be a flamenco dance. And, of course, plenty of transformations and massive armored warriors were shown as magic and lights streamed across the screen in what could only be described as an Otaku’s dreamscape. The trailer ends with a dragon-esque ship sailing into a sky full of swelling clouds. Pretty nice.”

This game will is going to be a superb example of what rpg’s can become.  Now I know it’s a lot to say without any details from the king known as Final Fantasy, but for know it seems White Knight is set to keep the throne warm until FFXIII finally sees the light of day.  If the new trailer hits the web I’ll drop up here, but for now enjoy these screens and cross your toes for a quick release to the states and europe.

I can’t express how excited I was when I heard Midnight Club: LA was announced to be released this year on the Xbox 360 and PS3! I’ve been a long time fan of Midnight Club series but the Dub Edition/Remix was “THE BEST” arcade racing game on home consoles. I loved everything about that game. And on the other hand when I first purchased my Xbox 360 on launch night I picked up Need for Speed: Most Wanted and feel in love with it as well. But one of the memorable thing is when I first got my 360 I had a standard TV(RCA Xbox TV) that I was playing my 360 on until I purchased my HDTV and I must say playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted again in HD was the best. In this article I want to briefly refresh your memory on the Midnight Club: Dub Edition/Remix and the Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Walk with me…

Midnight Club: Dub Edition/Remix

This game was not expected to do well when announced to be released on the Xbox first system and PS2. And lot of people was not sure if RockStar games would have been able to fill those shoes with the Need for Speed franchise being the no.1 arcade racer. When I purchased Midnight Club: Dub Edition/Remix I didn’t have that much excitement due to the fact that this was something new that I was going to try. I fired it up and boy was I blown away! Not only were the graphics in the game phenomenal but the selection of cars and the sweet customization.

I remember hooking up my cars and constantly stopping in the middle of the street and staring at my car on “Air Shocks” as it drops and makes the hissing sound. And to top it off the online mode was also well done. I remember meeting up with online buddies and driving around in our Chrysler 300’s and showing off our paint jobs and customization. We also had a blast doing cool stunts, man I miss those days. Lately I’ve been dying to see the Midnight Club: Dub Edition/Remix on the new backward compatible list but it’s just a dream. Well with that being said if you plan on buying the new Midnight Club: Los Angeles and you still have an old Xbox or PS2 please try to pick this game up and burn some time until the new one is released.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted

Now moving on to the Need for Speed: Most Wanted, this game has got to be one of the best versions of all Need for Speed titles hands down. When EA brought Black Box developers to make this game it was the best decision EA has ever made. The Black Box team gave us a game that made people not want to accept the next 2 Need for Speed titles that came out after because we got so spoiled with Most Wanted. 

Earlier I mentioned that when I got my 360 on launch night I picked up Most Wanted and when first playing it on a standard TV it was still delicious eye candy. The graphics in this game was so unique that when I got my HDTV 2 weeks later I played this game over again from the beginning. When Most Wanted showed the cut-scenes in cell shaded format I think that was pretty cool and refreshingly new. I enjoyed every moment of it. At times my wife would say “hey I want to see to see you play that car racing game, I like the movie parts” And I would have her sit with me when ever I played and she loved the Most Wanted story line. As far as the car list and customization in Most Wanted it is also good. They gave us enough cars along with unlockables to make us want to get every one of them. From what I also understand is that EA decided to pull the online play from Most Wanted due to the 360 launch; as they wanted to be on time with the release. Now I know that comparing Midnight Club: Dub Edition/Remix and Need for Speed: Most Wanted graphic wise is not really my intentions but what I do want to point out is, these 2 titles are heavy hitters and the new installments will be a great battle of the century *In my opinion*

Midnight Club: Los Angeles

Now I’m sure you all know by now that Midnight Club: Los Angeles will be coming to the Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP which will get the LA Remix version. It was set to be release on October 7^th but got delayed til October 22-23. I personally believe that RockStar marketing team did this purposely to compete with there rival Need for Speed: Undercover. So what do we know so far about Midnight Club: Los Angeles?

1. Car list is estimated to be roughly around 40+ cars that range from Luxury, Tuners, Muscle Cars, Exotics and Motorcycles *Don’t think SUV’s has been confirmed yet*
2. Los Angeles open world set in gameplay for single and online racers that will involve races during the day and night like real life. Not to mention the in dash view.
3. Yes cops will be on that ass.
4. Large range of customizing from exterior to interior! Yes you can customize your interior! SWEET! Also your car can get damaged which will allow you to visit shops for repairs.
5. Now for the last one I don’t want to start any rumors but I think you might be able to get out of your car like GTA and walk around! But don’t quote me. But if you can I’m guessing you can buy clothing for your character. Nice!

As far as what modes are involve with Midnight Club: LA you can pretty much guess that there’s going to be Circuit races, Time runs and hopefully Drag races. So with all that being said I just want to cut to the chase and say can Midnight Club: LA hold their ground and go up against the Need for Speed: Undercover? I think this is gonna be one hell of a ride for us gamers waiting for these 2 heavyweights go at it pound for pound.

Need for Speed: Undercover

Need for Speed franchise been around forever even when we were playing PC games on Windows 98 and they still putting out NFS installments with new ideas and engines. But no one has ever done a better job than the Black Box developers. When Most Wanted came out I was really blow away and so was many other folks who followed the franchise. For Need for Speed: Undercover EA decided to go back to the formula that best work for them and that was the Most Wanted format. The graphics is superb and so is the gameplay. And not to mention the cut-scene that looks stunning in HD. For the Undercover installment let’s see what EA Black Box is going to give us this time around.

1. All new storyline and gameplay that is set in an open world environment.
2. There will be 60+ available cars for us to play with, and that is 20 more cars than Midnight Club: LA has. Hmmmm.
3. And of course the customizing is in for exterior but none confirm for interior like Midnight Club: LA.
4. The races will all be set on chasing and being chase, so I’m guessing that the typical Circuit races might be out? Not sure on that one yet.
5. As far as the character we probably won’t be seeing his face like we have seen in Most Wanted but that’s alright with me personally.

So we’ve seen a few trailers for Undercover but no gameplay yet. But so far just knowing that this game is spinning off of Most Wanted is self explanatory. I can tell you one thing, if you don’t have a HDTV and a nice surround sound for this Need for Speed Undercover title you will be only cheating yourself. This game is going to be and action pack movie/game that will keep you sucked in for weeks, hopefully months.

The Final Word

Here is what I’m going to stress that is going to make these 2 titles battle for the #1 spot in Arcade racers. There are going to be 2 unique things about each game that is going to make them get that extra leap to the finish line. Let’s take a look at some info I gather from some sites. And oh yeah, it’s on!

Midnight Club: Los Angeles
Four special moves to make use of. Each auto can be customized to use any move. Zone allows you to slow down time in order to take sharp turns or weave in-and-out of traffic like a champ! Agro will give your car added strength and the ability to damage opponents faster or sometimes knock them completely out of the race. Roar sends a shockwave that clears your path by pushing cars off to the side of the road. EMP is an electromagnetic pulse that shuts down the engines of the cars around you, bringing them to a complete stop.

Need for Speed Undercover
The mode that will be the secret weapon is a straightforward race called Highway Battle. In this battle you go up against one opponent in a race towards a pre-designated finish line. During the race you can take quite a bit of damage that can cause your car to creep to the finish. EA Black Box wants to recreate the high intensity moments you see in the big action movies through something the team calls the Heroic Driving Engine. In Hot Pursuit 2 and Underground there were about 4 different components in the driving engine now there are over 430 different components to play around with in each car to make them feel unique.

Now I know nothing about this game whatsoever.  I do know that a small buzz is starting to grow more and more about Lengendary being designed by Spark Unlimited and published by Gamcock.   And from the looks of the all access that Adam Sessler did with a few people behind this strange twist of a FPS it’s not hard to see why there’s a buzz for this game at all.  Werewolfs, Minotaurs, Gryphons Oh My!!!!!   So enjoy the video and the synopsis of this title set to launch for the PS3, Xbox 360, and the PC on September 30th.

Synopsis

Myths. They were just stories; tall tales to explain the unexplainable. But unexplainable doesn’t mean impossible.

Deep within the dusty basement of a New York Museum, recovered from the depths of the ocean floor, lies mythology’s most infamous artifact: Pandora’s Box. Sealed inside since time immemorial are creatures we thought were works of fiction, myths created by our ancestors. There, they have raged, awaiting a chance to escape and seek vengeance upon mankind for sealing them in their prison.

Now, rogue art thief Charles Deckard, hired by a shadowy organization to steal the box, learns that the line between fact and fiction is not as clear as it seems.

During the mission, Deckard, unaware of the box’s true identity, unwittingly releases its horrors into the world, triggering a war between man and myth. Now, giant griffons rule the city skies, ravenous werewolves stalk the urban streets in search of flesh, and Deckard is left branded with a signet that is the secret to man’s salvation. With the aid of a clandestine paramilitary force, he must fight to seal the door between reality and myth or see loss of civilization to the tooth and claw of legend.

An incredible epic-scale first person shooter experience.

Dynamic environments crumble, skyscrapers collapse, civilization falls.

Take on savage werewolves, fearsome griffons and other dangerous creatures in spectacular battle.

Human forces seeking to control the box adds another dimension in the form of three-way battles.

Diverse enemies – some are behemoth titans, tens of stories tall!

Revolutionary enemy artificial intelligence reacts to the environment and the situation.

Exciting multiplayer mode allows you to destroy the enemy with firepower or with the tooth and claw of monster AI.

I told you that I wasn’t going to completely turn my back on conventional gamers who own a Wii.  Well after some searching to the area that name must not be spoken.  I find another little nugget coming to the “Wii”(ugggghhh) in the first quarter of 09.  Conduit, being developed by High Voltage Software is looking to bring a mature rated game to mature Wii owners.  Now, this looks like it could bring a solid first person shooter experience to the Wii.  While at first glance the concept seems to be paint by numbers; alien invasion, add Washington DC, stir in crazy weapons and bake until fun.  I think this is something all you owners would love to get your hands on.  Now lets hope for a good score on that Wii Scale.
