Bakugan Battle Brawlers – Nintendo Wii

medika — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 17:12:59 +0000

Those who have played the popular Bakugan card game might already have an idea of how gameplay works in Bakugan: Battle Brawlers, but the video game adds several new elements. The game is something of a cross between marbles and a live action card game. To get started you’ll first need to enter your name, select an attribute and create your character. Then you’ll be ready to explore the world of Bakugan. If you can’t wait to start battling your friends, then head straight to the Battle Arena, but if you want to be the best you have to learn the rules. The goal of Bakugan: Battle Brawlers is to win the game by collecting three “gate cards.” Gate cards are collected by winning battles against opponents. As a starting move each player sets down one metallic gate card. Then you’re ready to roll your Bakugan, which is in the form of a ball. After throwing you can steer your Bakugan around the environment so that it lands on the perfect card and collects powerups. The aim is to get your Bakugan to stand on a card, and that happens when they roll over it slowly. Once the Bakugan stands, it will transform into Battle Mode. Now you’re ready to battle. A battle begins when two Bakugan from different players stand on the same gate card. The gate card then opens and both bakugan transform into Monster Mode, and are ready to fight. The gate card can add “G-Power” to a Bakugan according to its world attribute (color) and can also change the rules of the battle. Players can also boost their G-power by doing well in battle. The Bakugan with the highest G-power at the end of the battle wins.

FIFA Soccer 10 – PlayStation 3

medika — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 05:01:08 +0000

Play professional soccer your way in EA SPORTS FIFA Soccer 10. From the moment you step onto the pitch, FIFA 10 challenges you to think and react like a real player. EA SPORTS FIFA 10 gives players new levels of control to experience the beautiful game like never before. This is a soccer game in which players can select a soccer team from across national and international leagues and clubs, compete in a variety of gameplay modes (e.g., single matches and tournament-style), and improve skills through practice shootouts. Wider dribble touches and new collision sharing allow for a less predictable yet extended fight for possession, resulting in more realistic battles between the dribbler and his defender. Improved Urgency AI logic, with over 50 new movement cycles, delivers more responsive positioning so your players stay focused on the ball and move at a speed appropriate to the action. Players better analyze space, resulting in pinpoint passes that give their receivers more options and time to outrun defensive pressure. Refinements to the shooting system and tweaks to the ball physics create a wider, more realistic variety of shots that enhance the exhilaration of scoring. With over 50 improvements, FIFA 10′s new Manager Mode is as close as you can get to running a team without actually being named to the job.

Get serious when playing Forza Motorsport 3 with the limited-edition Forza 3 Evolution racing seat. Fully upholstered in black synthetic leather and red stitching–with the official Forza Motorsport 3 logo and insignia on the chair’s front and back–the Forza 3 Evolution puts you smack
The Forza 3 Evolution Racing Seat features Forza Motorsport 3 graphics. A patented folding system allows for easy storage.
The seat is outfitted with an extra-strong, black, powder-coated tubular steel frame and a special pedal support plate with a high-tension spring and wire system. As a result, the seat feels stable and authentic, as though you’re driving a genuine racecar. The pedal plate also supports multi-point tuning for the gas and brake pedals and the steering wheel support, so you can fine-tune the action to your liking. And racers will love the removable seat cushions and patented folding system, which make it easy to store the seat out of the way when you’re done playing. Best of all, it’s a breeze to get started on the Forza 3 Evolution: just install a gaming steering wheel and gas and brake pedals (sold separately) and you’re ready to go.
The seat comes with an Xbox 360 Wireless Wheel adapter kit, which connects the Xbox 360 Wireless Wheel to the steering wheel support. Note that the Forza 3 Evolution is also compatible with other racing peripherals, games, and console types, including the PlayStation3 and Wii.
