Those grafx really do look like those of the Wii! Also here's a smashing new pic of the 3DS.



Here's the other one too.



When I get it (April/holiday kinda time) then if those are the colours (there's also a red one to be shown in a video) I'm getting the blue and black one! It's so much cooler! See you soon for vids and CP!

History Of E3

E3 Specials

Heres my video E3 preview. Have you noticed a change to the PlayRa!der logo?

The Luma

The Luma Part 1. Look out for part 2. Something big is going to happen... Something heart breaking...

SMG2 Special

Here is episode two. You may have noticed the theme tune has changed... The old one sounded like random buzzes to me. I have decided to rename it Flash Hill Zone. This is a slight remix again using Audacity. It is also now called GameZone. It sounds cooler than news. Don't forget to read my SMG2 review. Episode 3 will either come on Tuesday or earlier if there is some huge news. See you then!

Super Mario Galaxy 2: The Moment You've All Been Waiting For

So... Here it is, the review. We seem to have come so far, a 60 second trailer... to what I think, is the most legendary game ever. Yet every time there is a big game it WILL get a high review score. But what G2 has done is not just good, they have upped the bar for games!



When I say this I believe you have played the original game. This was a huge step yet can a sequel better this? When I play I just feel like I'm playing the old game, it is full of new content but I just don't feel it... Another thing is the higher difficulty. This was a lacking thing in the old game though I had to give up a good 7-8 hours to finish this!


The hub is now Starship Mario that is connected to the Map Screen! It is owned by an morbidly obese Luma called Lubba. You can take Yoshi for a walk on the Ship, just for fun!
Yoshis return is landmark. He has some new power ups too:
Mario also has all the oldies and some new too! It may not have as much impact as SMG but it's still great



Summary:
The best game I have ever played. With 3DS and this this is shaping up to be a good year in gaming. A must have.

Brilliant...

Well I said I had something special for you! So here is episode 1 of PlayRa!der news! It should be at least monthly! I can't wait for episode 2! If your wondering what the rock music in the titles, credits and E3 specials remix is it's my remix of the STH4 music throughout the rest! I call it Splash Hill Zone Rock Space Remix. It was remixed using Audacity!

Doctor Who: The Adventue Games Review

This is both review 1 & 2 combined as I have played it using boot camp on a Mac Pro! If you are having trouble running it try the help section for games, coming soon to PlayRaider!
It has to be realised, Doctor Who should have become a game years ago. It is just perfect! Yet what they have done cannot reach the mark.
The game play ranges between puzzle and stealth. If you get scanned by a Dalek you die instantly. There are also several puzzels scattered throughout the game.
Yet the BBC seem to have fallen foul of their own ambition. They advertise the games as free downloads but you have to pay ££££ for a system capable to run it's high graphics at a sufficient speed. Even a Mac Pro quad core running boot camp felt slow and sluggish.
Overview:
A good game but sadly falls foul of it's own abition, game breaking. Let's hope the Wii and DS will be up to more!

Party

This is the new look command room! Finished at last. We will have to report for duty on 15/06/10. I think this will unlock a new mode on our spy phone, what do you think? I love making up missions with my buddies!
In fact, why don't we have an NTL mission. I will hide somewhere on the island and if you find me I will add you. Once I am found I will move to a new spot. I will be at 15:00 on Saturday GMT and later at 16:30 on Monday GMT! It will be on Mukluk. When you have found me walk up to me and say the password (announced on Saturday!) A few of my mates might be coming and expect a mission victory party for all that found me! If you find me I will be your buddy so my iggy will not be on the map! I hope to see you then!
In other news my membership is about to expire. It should be renewed soon though! Though please don't be surprised if I'm in nonmember gear at my duo of partys! See you soon!
