My games career progress - Page 13

Oops

Not sure how that happened. I'll ask for it to be changed over to the correct number

Haly · 29-11-2008, 17:27

Thought I'd update here to keep everything in one place

In the past couple of weeks, I've reviewed both Dungeon Maker for the DS and WoW: Wrath of the Lich King for the PC (play.tm seems to be acting up atm hence the links to my blog instead).
Just finishing up a review of Spiderman: Web of Shadows for the 360, for http://www.xboxgamezone.co.uk/ then I'll be working on The Last Remnant and the Mines of Moria add-on for LoTR Online for play.tm, as well as Scene It: Box Office Smash for xboxgamezone.co.uk.
Bloody busy in other words! Really must get round to seeing how I could make some money out of this

I should add that I'm back to reviewing as well now

Currently working on reviews for Rock Band 2 and Don King Presents: Prize Fighter. Rock Band 2 is of course excellent, and while Prize Fighter is better than I thought it would be, it still doesn't hold a candle to Fight Night Round 3. Top notch career mode though, just a shame the boxing action isn't in the same league.

Is it worth a rent at least Davey?

Davey_Pitch · 29-11-2008, 18:53

I'd say so, if you're into boxing games. As I say, the career is excellent, really drawing you in with lots of video footage featuring real boxers and actors talking about you, documentary style. The action itself is okay, but it has some problems, like collision detection often being a mile off, the slowness with which your boxer gets his guard up if you're taking a few punches, and jabs not seeming to go anywhere near as far and as fast as a jab should. The training games are good fun though

Haly · 29-11-2008, 19:47

I'll stick it on my rental list sometime or see if it's at work

I really liked Fight Night despite never watching Boxing.

I have to toot my own horn because who else will?

Just had an email re my Lord of the Rings Online expansion pack review:

Quote:

I got a shout from a US PR agency working for Turbine today; they like your review of the Moria expansion so much they want to use some quotes in official places.

\o/ Nice to see

Nice one!

Back of box? :>

Haly · 14-01-2009, 01:24

Doubt I'd get that lucky! I should know soon where it'll be placed though
