Return

It's been a month since my last posting. Holidays have been crazy and haven't been able to find enough time to keep up. Well, it looks like Xbox live has been having some issues, still, it seems. Not only that but also on Christmas day. Poor kids, waking up on Christmas to new video games that they cannot bring online? Well, thankfully the holidays are nearing an end, New Years is almost upon us. 2008 is looking to be a good year for gaming, however, January is a dry month. With just two games listed so far...

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle Of Doom

Circle of Doom sets itself apart from the previous Kingdom Under Fire series, as strategic elements are replaced with a very unique gaming experience that combines revolutionary online features, explosive action, and streamlined RPG elements, all presented in HD visual of massive scale and ultra-real details. Another distinguishing factor is that the developer is determined to create a stress-free and fun game for everybody. Whereas the predecessors could have been somewhat challenging for casual gamers, Circle of Doom will be very approachable and enjoyable on the surface, with much depth and freedom to be explored and experimented underneath the guise.

There is already a Demo on the Marketplace so you can check out the new features. I like the new RPG elements that allow you to use different weapons, items and armor that you pick up all via the inventory menu on the fly.

Burnout: Paradise

he fifth installment in the Burnout series gives players license to wreak havoc in Paradise City, the ultimate racing battleground, with a massive infrastructure of traffic-heavy roads to abuse. Gone is the need to jump in and out of menus and aimlessly search for fun like many open world games; in Burnout 5, every inch of the world is built to deliver heart-stopping Burnout-style gameplay. Every intersection is a potential crash junction and every alleyway is an opportunity to rack up moving violations.

Of course, rules are made to be broken, and when gamers enter Paradise City, they’re assigned a Drivers License that quickly begins to amass a record of player’s most aggressive, reckless and destructive exploits behind the wheel. But it’s not the law that’s eyeing player’s progress … when gamers push things too hard they’ll be squaring off against the city’s most infamous burners, and these legends aren’t interested in who crosses the finish line first...

Will these games be enough to Satiate the Gamer this month? With one at the beginning of the month and the other at the end only time will tell. Can we make it to February? Where the dry spell ends with all of these?!
