F1 Race Stars review

The newest game along with Sleeping Dogs to hit the paid for PlayStation subscription service is F1 Race Stars, the game itself is a Mario Kart / Modnation type game that uses well know racers from the Formula 1 series, so all the favorites are there such as Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen.

The game itself is all about reaching a podium finish whilst using many power ups dotted around the race tracks to help give you the edge, whether they be to help you such as the boost power up or to slow your opponents with a pulse weapon and also ricochet bubbles.

There are courses from all around the world that include cartoon mock ups of things associated with that area, you also dont just travel on tarmac in the game, one level i played also had you traversing down some rapids guiding your car round the bends so not to be slowed down by driving over the grassy bank.

I have not given the multiplayer a go yet but from what I have played the game is great for when friends are over to have a laugh whilst also secretly trying to get the edge over them by using the power ups, you can play 4 player split screen offline too which is always great and much less seen in racing games these days.


There is alot of enjoyment in the game and will be great when I have friends come round to play games for that reason I will give it a 7 out of 10 as it looks great and plays well, next I will give the multiplayer portion a go and hopefully have no issues with that side of the game.

Looking at the list, once again publishers are setting their prices too high to purchase full retail games, especially when they can be had for less from walking down to the local retailer that sells games and also then have the option to trade them in at a later date if you so wish.

PlayStation Store update

Following on from my earlier post about the PS Vita anniversary sale, today is also the day that new PlayStation Plus content goes live, Sleeping dogs and F1 Race stars are on offer this month, the following is a video for them both,

I have already bought and completed Sleeping Dogs and it is an awesome game, well worth taking your time to play it or even signing up to PS Plus if you're not already a member of it,

As for F1 Race Stars, I haven't had a chance to play it yet so I am quite looking foreward, too me it looks like a Mario Kart / Modnation Racer sort of game so hopefully should be good, I might do a review on it if it is.

Grand Theft Auto 5 release date

Rockstar have finally penned in when they are going to be selling the next game in the ever popular Grand Theft Auto franchise by releasing this poster on their Facebook page,

According to their newsletter this is slightly later than they had originally planned and said the small delay was just to make the game as good as it needs to be and there was no ulterior motive behind the delay.

Enjoy this video that they have released recently to show off the new addition.

Far Cry 3 Completed!

Considering the last post I did was that I had received my copy of Far Cry and I would do a quick review of the game, I haven't been able to tear myself away from it (except to sleep and eat) and now, 3 days later here I am looking for another game to play as I have completed it (including the platinum trophy).

The game starts off as a video showing how you and your friends arrive on an island after your brother receives his pilots license, from there you are captured by pirates and are taken to a hideout, this is where you first meet Vaas, he is the leader of the pirates that captured you, their game is to capture tourists and either ransom them, or sell them off as slaves, as you can tell when you first meet Vaas, he is insane with the way his mind thinks.

After your meeting with Vaas your brother Grant, who is military trained as a member of the United States Army Reserves, manages to shuffle away from his rope ties around his wrists and frees you, you then proceed to escape from where you are being held captive and attempt to rescue your other brother and friends from the pirates.

all the above happens in the first 10 minutes of the game and not wanting to tell too much of the story to spoil it for any of you readers, that is all I will say about the events.

As for the game itself it is an open world much like the second one with excellent graphically rich textures and detail, looking into the distance gets a bit blurry but in your immediate view the game looks stunning, the map is blanked out when you begin as you have to find radio stations, that the pirates have put scramblers on to stop the locals radioing out for supplies, in order to open up the map view, you can still go ahead with the story without ever climbing a radio station however each time you do, you receive a new weapon free of charge in the games many weapons stores.

along with radio stations to climb and uncover there are also enemy outposts to capture in order to liberate the island and make it safer to travel across the roads, each captured outpost also has a gun store inside its hut along with the option to fast travel to it.

The story has many twists in it and it has some great moments in it, but some of the story could have been better with more emphasis on the mindset of your character wanting to become the great warrior of the island, and for that reason I will give the game a 8 out of 10 as there is room for improvement with the story in some parts, but as I first said I couldn't pull myself away.

Thanks for reading, feel free to leave a comment or share it if you like it.

New Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 trailer

The new Call of Duty trailer looks pretty immense if your into your fast action gaming, shows off some of the new perks and new additions to the game. it also shows a hint of dogtags in the game, maybe to rival Battlefield Bad Company and their dog tag system? who knows?.

From mobile turrets to new style Bouncing Bettys it looks like this call of duty is all ready a hit with some of the fans around the globe who are drooling over the video in anticipation of its release this November.

One thing I have noticed which I didnt quite like in the last installment of Moder Warfare, was the heart beat sensors and it looks like they have made a return in this version, so I guess it will be campers paradise again whilst playing search and destroy, even more so now that they can have a little red dot beep on the side of their gun pointing them in your direction.

what are your thoughts tot he trailer? Love it or hate it? post a comment in the box below to have your say.

Enjoy the trailer, I will post more as and when they become available.

Released today on the PSN Store

This list has been copied from the Official PlayStation Blog, a good place to go for current up to date news about things that are happening over at Sony HQ all about the PS3, PSP and the newer PS Vita.

It  is quite a hefty list of releases but nothing in there takes my eye at the moment so i guess my wallet will be safe this week, I will also post the list of PSP sale items in another blog post after this one.

Thanks for reading, leave a comment if you want to ask any questions :)

Howdy

Well, this is my first go at blogging so I will give an introduction about myself and also just explain here what I will be blogging about and what kind of topics to expect to be seen here.

I have been a gamer for a lot of my life, the first console I played on was the Atari 2600 JR, it was my dads console and we used to play on it together playing games such as; Asteroids, Pacman and also Missile Command. we used to play on it for hours taking it in turns using the old style joypads with one button to mash unlike the controllers of today with several buttons to press.

The first console i owned was the Sega Megadrive, I thought it was great to play on at the time and had plenty of games to play on it with my collection spanning close to 40 games (not bad for a 13 year old eh? :)) The Megadrive was so good that even my mum wanted to play on it, she bought herself Fantastic Dizzy and after that I never really got a look in on playing my Megadrive.

In total I have owned nearly all released consoles and hand-helds including the PS1/2/3 & Psp, Sega Saturn & Game Gear, Nintendo Wii, Ds, N64, Gamecube, Snes & NES, I also have owned the Xbox & Xbox 360.

My current favorite console I play on is the PlayStation 3, my choice for choosing this over the Xbox 360 that lies gathering dust on my shelf is it suits my needs as a gamer, I am able to play online with friends for free and talk to them, whether by private message or using my Turtle Beach DPX21 Headset. the features I do miss from the Xbox 360 when playing on my PS3 are the party chat and easy way to join a friends session from the dashboard. I also then have the option of watching Blu Rays or stream films with LoveFilm to watch with my family.

This blog will mainly be about recent going ons in the console world and I might also blog about stuff that is happening on the PC side of gaming, I will try to keep the information fresh and current for what is happening on the day it happens.

Thanks for reading the first post of my blog and I hope you stick around for the ride, if there are any requests or criticisms please leave a comment.

Cheers
Peter
