Fat Princess PS3 Review

Fat Princess is similar to Marvel vs Capcom 2 in the way that to play it you have to download it. This means you can't buy it at Wal-Mart or anything--you have to add money to your Playstation account to download it (Fat Princess is $15). Anyway, now for the review:

Graphics: Graphics have never been known to be good on downloadable games, but Fat Princess is an exception. It's cel-shaded and cartoon/story book-like, so the graphics really fit. Everything is great visually in Fat Princess. 9/10

Sound: Great voice acting (some British narrator who is hilarious.) Sound effects are funny, music is good for the game, and everything is well put together in terms of sound. 9/10

Story: This is the funniest game I have ever played. Its about two princesses who get lost in the woods and find cake. They love it so much that they eat it and get fat. Although the gameplay is almost entirely different than the story, I really like it. It makes Fat Princess what it is. 8.5/10

Gameplay: Think of it as a cartoon version of Lord of the Rings Conquest with better modes and more characters. There is the warrior, mage, archer, worker, and priest, all with their own unique abilities. Mage and archer have ranged attacks, priest can heal teammates and take away health from enemies, warriors are self explanatory, and worker can cut down trees to upgrade the other characters. Everything is even and has a good upgrade system.

The game's main mode is basically capture the flag, but instead with princesses. So, to make it harder for the other team to carry your princess to their base, you wanna feed her cake to make her fat. I'm actually not joking, thats really what you do. There is also other modes like deathmatch and soccer, but since they don't involve making princesses fat I don't enjoy them as much. 9/10

Multiplayer: Really fun online battles, I just jumped right in and I didn't feel like any of the players were much better than me (the equality of the different characters makes this fun).

Overall: Fat Princess is a great, fun, hilarious game. It doesn't have splitscreen, and not much content, but you're paying $15 for a full-priced quality game. Its funny, fun, and cheap. Highly recommend. Its better than Lord of the Rings Conquest, and its about $25 cheaper. 8.9/10

Smallville Episode 9-2 Metallo Review

Smallville has evolved into what I like to call "Dark Knight for Superman." In case you haven't seen the first episode of this season, Clark has an official costume now for his dual identity, which looks like something from the Matrix. This season is a lot darker, which is a change from season 1's comic-bookish freak-of-the-week (fans called smallville this in the first season when there was a different villain every week) feel. I think this is the best season of Smallville so far, and it better be if this is the last season (which many people have been speculating.)

This episode reminds me of freak-of-the-week actually, and surprisingly enough, I really enjoyed it. The story follows John Corben, a new reporter at the Daily Planet that appeared in the first episode. He has a grudge against the red-blue blur (Superman's widely known nick-name, he hasn't officially been named Superman yet) for not saving his sister (which of course is not Clark's fault).

He gets hit by a bus (this episode has a very brutal 5-10 minutes in the first half, so just to warn you) and wakes up in a laboratory. He looks at his heart, which weirdly resembles Tony Stark's but green and made of kryptonite. He now is living off kryptonite, which is not too great for our protagonist. Metallo (John Corben) sets out to kill the red-blue blur. I'm not going to spoil anything, but let me just say that the battle at the end is very climatic and just fricken awesome.

Pretty much all I can say is that Smallville has evolved into something amazing. Its now movie quality, and definitely could be my favorite movie if they ever made one (I'm hoping they have the Smallville show finale an actual movie, but I'm probably just dreaming...). I'm serious, if you have't checked out Smallville season 9, thats terrible. Absolutely ridiculous. Watch this now. Its worth the 3 bucks on iTunes by far.

Smallville Season 9 Premiere

Smallville season premiere was last night, it was awesome! Here's my favorite pictures from last night:

Superman saving the train

Daily Planet

Superman looking over Metropolis, talking to Lois

My favorite, the iconic symbol burned into the wall

That seriously was the best Smallville ever, you should watch it any way you can (TiVo, iTunes, even the Smallville website you can watch the full episode). Smallville now seems more like an dark super hero movie more than anything. Think of this season as The Dark Knight Superman style. He doesn't wear the cheesy tights in this, but he does wear a costume (black suit coat with shirt under with the Superman symbol is silver). Anyway, please watch this, Smallville season 9 will be the best season.

EndWar Review

Graphics: Although the graphics aren't fantastic, there isn't really anything wrong with them. 7.5/10

Sound: Great sound effects and pretty good voice acting 8.5/10

Story: End of the world. Would be nice for more twists and turns, but for what it is, its okay. 7.5/10

Gameplay: In EndWar, you control your army squad to victory via voice control. You use your headset to give commands. The voice recognition is phenomenal, and it has never misinterpreted what i meant to say. There are cool upgrades and different kinds of units, and the game is just really fun. I do think it could have been easier to learn though, the tutorial just covers the basics and nothing more. 8.5/10

Multiplayer: Online

End war is a fun game. It doesn't show off the PS3's capabilites with graphics, and its pretty light on story, but EndWar does what its supposed to do, and it makes it really fun to play.

8/10
