Heavy Rain Review:
overall score: 8 - Good

Story: the story in Heavy Rain Revovelves around 4 characters Ethan Mars, Madison Paige, Norman Jayden, Scott Shelby as there all Faced with the Question How far will you go to save someone you Love? now ill try to give away as little as possible here because heavy rain is really story heavy Ethan Mars Son has been Kidnapped by the Origimai Killer and Imprisoned in a Well Filling up with Rain Water Ethan is then Sent 5 Trials to do by the Origimai Killer every one of them he succeeds in doing gets him another piece of the Address Number to where his son is so he can Rescue him after 6 Inches of Rain Water his son Dies so he only has Roughly 3 Days to Save his son but it comes with Risks Consequences and Severe Agony and Depression the Rest of the Story i am not telling you because it will Ruin Everything Trust me its better this way

Gameplay: the Gameplay is story Driven and how the story unfolds is Entirely up to you controll each one of the 4 characters and the Game is made up of QTEs Normally you'd think that woudnt work in a Game but in Heavy Rain it feels real and intense let me give you a example of a scene which can go 3 ways: in the early part of the game a previous client walks into laurens bedroom he then starts beating her up you can choose to just ingore it and leave barge through the door and hit all or most of the button prompts or miss all or most of the button prompts each of these decisions will effect which way the game plays out and later chapters aswell in Heavy Rain your never forced to complete a chapter or scene in a certain way so even if something bad happens because of your Choice or Decision the games story will continue with Altered Removed and/or Added Chapters and Scenes and are Vital as to what your outcome turns out to be the only critizing bit i have is how it is so easy to not mess up the button prompts but dont be put off with that as the game has a fantastic story and will leave you on the edge of your seat wondering whats going to happen next heavy rain is like a movie but this time you decide what happens in that movie and its interactive i personally had to pause 1 or 2 times throughout the game to see what option i was going to choose on the text since it can go abit too fast at times so you may not be able to read the text probably there is mutiple endings depending on what choices you made throughout the story

Controls: the Cotrols are Easy and Simple to Understand they are made of Quick time events mostly and you can choose the Difficulty at which the controlls are

Graphics: in this Game whenever you see a Loading Screen you Actually get the Feeling that its Real! the Graphics and Evironments look Really Good and you'll Hardly ever come across any Glitches or Freezes i played throught the game 3 times and only Experienced 1 Minor Glitch

Sound: the Sound System is Really good and clear the Voice Acting is Brilliant but can be alil bit cheezy on Ethan Especially if your shouting Shaun or Jason!

WOW Facter: N/A

Replay Value: once you complete the game for the second time everything is pretty much the same and you wont want to wait to finish it again but with that said: there is plenty of Replaying to do in this Game as your Every choice can affect later Chapters and how the story unfolds is entirely up to you and all the endings will take alot of Replaying to get

Mutiplayer Experience: N/A

My Personell Verdict: this Game is a Different Change from Games that usually come out the Story will have you addicted to the Game and you wont be able to put the controller down with Awesome Twists Realistic Graphics loads of Replay Value with the different Endings and things to do id Highly Recommend this game to anyone despite the minor issues 8/10

+ feels involving and Different
+ Suspension & Changing Game
- Ending kind of spoils the Replay Value
- Fast Text & Minor Glitches

no i havent decided whether to get it or not i havent played any other grand turismo games and i dont really play racing games i create my reviews with alot of in-depth detail without spoiling any plotlines i go over them numerous times and correct any mistakes i may find i play the game fully before i review them and i try to give Reasonable scores in the meantime you may want to go to the updates for the 3 most recent updates i was thinking of reviewing mirror's edge but im still undecided on how to do this as mirrors edge is a very complex game to review

HyperBalloid HD Review:
overall score: 4 - bad

Story: N/A

Gameplay: this game includes 50 levels of each planet ahh and there such forgetfull names i cant remember them but i know there is 2 which means 100 levels anyway onto the actually in-gameplay the levels can last 3-6 hours each you bounce a little ball on a paddle to destroy all the bricks in each level which can range from themes of Egyptian style or even out of space this can be alittle tedious though as some of these bricks are into to hard to reach places you do get a powerup which ends the level and brings you to the next everytime you have 2 or less bricks remaining but trying to hit that one brick on that paddle just to end the level is very time consuming annoying and boring to say the least in the game you can get various types of power-ups from bricks or out of nowhere or even in hidden areas such as 3 - 9 balls on the screen at the same time guns on your paddle a widened paddle and life power-ups which can be gotten but collecting a gem of which there are 3 in each level everyone of these power-ups can only be used for a certain amount of time one more thing to note is that you can play your own music when playing this game a small little touch but no matter what you play it wont suit the playing style of the game and can get quite distracting

Controls: the controls are easy enough to understand hold down the left analoque stick to whichever way the ball is falling for it to bounce of its paddle press x when you have a sticky ball or a gun power-up

Graphics: the Graphics in this game are in the form of a 2D style paddle game just like the ones you used to play on your mobile phone except this time with different themes

Sound: the sound in this game only comes from the music witch suits the theme of the level best you can play your own music but this would ruin the atmosphere and likely distract you

WOW Factor: N/A

Replay Value: once you complete both planets there is virtually nothing else too do except collect more gems and power-ups just for extra lives but what would be the point in that since you've already completed the game and the levels will be the same everytime?

Mutiplayer Experience: N/A

My Personell opinion: this game is very Repettive and tends to get boring fast while trying to hit that last brick Remaining the music is quite a good touch but if you want to play your own music i suggest you dont or though you can sqeeuze a little fun out of this game only get it for its cheap price and trophies but in the meanwhile your better off sticking to the paddle ball games on your phone 4/10

+ fun for a short period of time
- Repettive
- Cheap Music System
- paddle ball games on your phone are more intriging

LittleBigPlanet Review:
overall score: 9 - Really Good

Story: the story in littlebigplanet is about a unknown Curator Creator who is kidnapping all the other Curators your mission is to find out why and stop this from happening with help from other Curator Creators and other players online

Gameplay: LittleBigPlanet Encourages players to well play create and share while the complexity i experienced when trying to make a Decent Level with another player in create mode it was Tremondous Fun so much fun it makes up for the complexity and once you know you've made a Decent Level it is Really Rewarding and you can publish it for all the world to play the only issues i have with the Create mode is the Bar and the fact you can only make up to 20 levels or though this does suck some of the Creativity out the Games online mode is brilliant you can play other peoples levels and search for them and some of the content i saw blow me off my seat it is really compettive and enjoyable when your playing with other players trying to get the top score or shooting each other Randomly in a deathmatch like level playing a level made of hearing some of your favourite music lbp style or even Earning Trophies on Heavy Rain on littlebigplanet! when your playing littlebigplanet you can literally make the game anygame you want! the story levels suck you in and the prize bubbles you collect are Really Addictive you'll want to make sure you ace all the levels to get even more prizes to make your own levels with! you can customize your own pod and slapping people endlessly never gets old

Controls: ive had no problem with controls so far they worked flawlessly throughout my time playing

Graphics: the Graphics are really good and you wont Experience any glitches from this game but you can make your own Glitches if you wanted to i tried it and they were awesome let me give you an example: walking on nothing, making my pod invisible, having one player on oneside the other on the otherside and having a player in the middle while the two in the right and left slap the player in the middle endlessly, i could go on all day but the glitches in this game are for good purposes

Sound: the sound in this game is top notch nothing else too say...

WOW Factor: N/A

Replay Value: because of the addictive prize bubbles acing levels playing endless amounts of awesome levels making your own the Replaying never stops in this game expect to be spending alot of time on it

Mutiplayer Experience: the mutiplayer conponet works really well in this game and like i said its really Compettive and just pure fun if you do not play online there is still some fun you could get out of this game but its not worth it

My Personell Verdict: littlebigplanet is not perfect but it is soo close it scares me even the glitches in this game are good and the replaying never stops however if they got rid of the creativity limit and the complexity of making a decent level this game would easily be a 10 9/10

+ Never Ending Possibilities
+ Never Gets old & and endless Replay Value
+ Endless ways to create share & play
- Complex level Creator and Creativity Limit

Naughty Bear Review:
overall score: 3 - starting to smell

Story: every bear on perfection island was invited to Daddle's birthday party except Naughty Bear for being to Naughty he makes a gift for Daddle's and plans to give it to him hopeing they could become friends but when the other bears see the gift they laugh at Naughty Naughty Bear now with infuriating Anger destroes the present and goes on a killing Rampage to kill every bear on the island

Gameplay: the Gameplay in naughty bear involves a series of episodes where naughty bear kills scares sets traps and Sabotages things such as phones and cake mixers to kill Bears to score Naughty Points the game has 2 sections of the same island and involves you Racking up Naughty points by kiling bears using various strategies making bears kill themselves by scaring them too much sabotaging things Racking up kill combos and doing anything naughty the more points you get you can be able to earn 4 different types of trophies: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, which can unlock new episodes and challenges and costumes which in turn can be used in other levels to get a higher Score now onto challenges the challenges can range from Invinisble Challenges in which you must Rack up a certain number of Naughty points without being soon by any other bears Killer Challenges in which you must kill every bear on the island without them escaping Score Challenges in which you must Rack up a certain amount of naughty points and still complete the level under a set time limit Friendly Challenges in which you must Rack up a certain number of naughty points without hitting any bears and Untouchable challenges in which you must Rack up a certain amount of naughty points without getting hurt at all each section of the island includes 3-5 sets of optional collectables each which may be thrown into a nearby fire

Controls: while the controls are easy enough to understand sometimes you will press a button and it will not register the Triangle Button to Dodge Bullets is Very Hard to Master and you'll Frequently Forget how to do it i would think they'de atleast put a slo-motion Reaction time into it

Graphics: occasionally Bears will be stuck in-between walls one thing that ive noticed while playing is that when there is only one bear in a inside area and they barricade themselves in they will be stuck laughing and you cant hit them or kill them with traps this is most annoying when on a killer challenge or a Friendly Challenge since you cant kill them and if your on a friendly challenge you cant scare them either to rack up more points sometimes a bear will detect your position when there not supposed to and hiding grass doesnt always work the way it should do not to mention the amount of glitches in this must of them come up when Quitting or failing a Episode or Challenge leaving you to have to turn your ps3 off and on over again when naughty bear is running to other places it starts to get a little bit of Texture pop-ups then you dont know where his position is for the next 1 second or so the game is overshadowed by wonky camera angles and slighlty out of place death animations where it can be really easy to lose track of were naughty bear is and who your fighting needless to say less of these problems will occur if you play the game offline in which still a large majority of these problems will arise one more piece of information to note is that you cant pause to look at the map or set waypoints its in the right hand corner but can get a little confusing as to were your going the camera seems to sometimes fix the view to a wall instead of were naughty bear is this goes mostly for killing bears when going in the bears houses the camera seems to head into one direction while you want it to go to the other and you end up having to try to get the camera angle the way your going

sound: the Narrator sounds like one of those tv presenters from a kids tv show with the added Homourus Dark Attitude his voice may be heard throughout the game such as when you get a combo streak or another trophy type or kill all of there bears in the island with an ecstatic voice while a word comes across the screen the Bears in Naughty Bear Dont Talk but instead make mumbling sounds Naughty Bear also never talks once throughout the whole game

Replay Value: once you complete naughty bear you can complete challenges and episodes to get higher trophy types or scores on the online leaderboard but this becomes old and repettitive and is of the same varity of playing the level before needless to say you wont want to get back to it there is also a mutiplayer mode in this game which feels unfinshed abandoned and broken

Mutiplayer Experience: the matchmaking process in naughty bear feels unsuitable as it always puts you with the most highest ranked players looking for a mutiplayer game as such the online is really laggy and you'll have alot of connection issues while playing the mutiplayer componet has 4 types of game modes which can be played with 4 players of 2 teams: Assault in which you defend your own uni statues for 2 minutes while the other team does the same once you destory the other teams uni-statue you get a win the team with the most wins wins the game Cake Walk in which you must hold a cake for the longest amount of time to win Golden Oozy in which you must find a gun called that and kill bears with it to score points and jelly wars where you have to gather jelly will you avoid naughty bears attempts at killing you

personell verdict: while naughty bear is an original concept and a very fun game to play espiecially when discorvering different ways to kill other bears the game is overshadowed by its huge amount of glitches and graphical problems aswell as a broken and laggy mutiplayer mode add in the repettitiveness of the challenges so thats why im giving this game a 3/10 if they really brushed this game up with a patch to fix these problems im sure id give this game a much higher score

+ Fun Tactics
- full of Glitches and Freezing Problems
- Repettive & Boring
- Laggy and broken
