-Review - inFAMOUS -


inFAMOUS ends with two unforgettable endings determined by what side you choose; good or evil.  This essential game has great graphics, very strong story-line, that doesn't take a couple of days to complete unlike many games. It offers three districts to free-roam and take from the gangs causing chaos in by completing missions for the citizens, surviving police and much more. 




-Review - Assassin's Creed Brotherhood -

The PS3 sequel to Assassin's Creed Two arrived in stores on the nineteenth of December and is better than ever as you play as the skilful assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who returns and continues to struggle against the Templars, as well as his new arch-nemesis, Cesare Borgia.

In Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, the game begins in the year 1499 as Ezio arrives at his city in Monteriggioni, but shortly afterwards the city is besieged by Cesare Borgia's army of Templars, who destroy the assassins brotherhood and kill Ezio's uncle Mario Auditore. Ezio travels to Rome in search of revenge against the corrupt tyrants and quickly forms a new brotherhood of assassins to rebuild Rome and to defeat the Templars. But will they prevail at defeating their enemies?

The single-player campaign

The single-player campaign gives you the sprawling totality of Rome to explore, as well as parts of Spain, Naples and Monteriggioni. Rome is varied, from busy city streets to citadels, ancient ruins and landmarks like the Coliseum. You'll be able to witness Rome's development and unlock new missions, opportunities, rewards, upgrades, costumes, accessories weapons and apprentice assassins as you copulate more of the campaign.

The multiplayer mode

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood introduces the new multiplayer mode to the series. You will be able to play against and with other players from all over the world in the four different multiplayer modes that Assassin's Creed Brotherhood has to offer.

The four multiplayer modes are Wanted, Advance Wanted, Alliance and Manhunt, which are all very similar from one another. Wanted and and Advanced are both free-for-alls in which one player is your target and your someone else's target. The only difference between the two modes being that Advanced Wanted is more difficult and target and your someone else's target and tense. Alliance is quite the same as Wanted, but players are split into pairs to assassinate their targets and flee from their hunters. In Manhunt there are two teams of four. One team are the hunters and the other are the hunted. Each team looks like a specific character and takes turns being the hunter and the hunted.

The multiplayer mode gives you a wide range of unique characters that all have their own signature weapons and assassination abilities to select from. Your character can be customised with new accessories, weapons and costumes as your level increases. You have the choice of Soldier, Thief, Engineer, Hellequin, Mercenary, Priest, Doctor, Blacksmith, Smuggler, Executioner, Noble, Barber, Courtesan, Footpad and a Prowler, but there are the Officer and Harlequin, which you'd get if you got the pre-ordered editions.

Verdict
I wholeheartedly recommend Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. It delivers in presentation, graphics and really appeals to me. In my opinion it has to be one of my favourite games I've played in a long time, thumbs up.
