Halo 3: ODST

To summerize the new game Helo 3: ODST, I took a summary from http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/halo3untitledodstgame/review.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;read-review:
" In Halo 3: ODST, you wake up all alone in a hostile city. Pockets of enemies are hiding in the nearly pitch-black environment and your allies are nowhere to be found. In the opening moments of Halo 3: ODST, you are vulnerable and aimless--two elements that have never been explored in a Halo game before. These quiet, moody scenes flow into the spirited, high-energy battles the franchise is known for, but this feeling of desolation never fully dissolves. ODST is an awesome entry in the franchise because it not only showcases the elements that have made previous games in the series so explosively fun, but it also introduces a handful of new ideas that add a unique spin on the classic formula. The most exhilarating of the new features is the Firefight mode, a cooperative battle against a never-ending swarm of covenant soldiers that is as intense and rewarding as anything that has appeared in the series. Whether you love the solitude of the single-player campaign, the camaraderie of cooperative encounters, or the blood lust of multiplayer competition, Halo 3: ODST is a fantastic package. "

My opinion:

I myself enjoyed very much the Halo 3, and believe that ODST is a good incrementation to it. ODST includes and shows new materials of the game, such as the Firefight mode, and the continuation of the story. I have beat the whole game of halo over and over again (if I was to count, I would say about 8 times), since I loved it. Reviewers of the game say that comparing with the anterior one, it has improved multiplayer campain, and maps. I think that since the first Halo, it has always been a success, and I think ODST will be the same way.

Need For Speed Shift

In the first editions of "Need for Speed" the games were a success, like "Need for Speed Underground" and "Need for Speed Most Wanted". Recently, the newer versions left the users wanting more of the old success. Need for Speed Carbon and now the new one, Need for Speed Shift, aren't barely as good as their anteriors. I myself have and love Need for Speed Most Wanted, and when I tried to play the next one (Carbon) I hated it.

In Need for Speed Shift, is a racing game that tries to do a lot of things, and the good news is that it does most of them well. The bad news is that Shift does very little that other racers haven't done before it, and it excels at nothing. The racing, the car and track selections, the vehicle customization and damage modeling, the career mode, the online play, the opponent AI--all of these things are good, but none of them are great.

Like in the other games, you play as your own character and go buying cars and making them better to race against other street racers. I love race games, and I enjoy the graffics of the game, but I think EA Games should take more time into doing the game, instead of rushing through it to make more amount of games.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Based on the hit sucess film "The Dark Knight" by Christopher Nolan, the game Batman: Arkham Asylum is a new and very high rated game. As Gamespot.com says, "You don't have to be a Batman fan to enjoy the game". The game talks more about the asylum, in which the film only barely speaks about. It is a place where is essentially Gotham City's Alcatraz, and it has housed just about every villain Batman has ever tangled with at one time or another.

I think that most people think of batman as "just another children's super hero" and think of it as being childish. However, the last films from batman like "The Dark Knight" and "Batman Begins" actracted an audience of all ages. Yet, many people have some kind of prejudice towards it. I believe it is NOT intended for little children, for the mild violence and strong scenes... I think it's a great game (and the film is also amazing).

The new Guitar Hero 5

The new Guitar Hero 5 is going to have a whole new pack of songs available for the game, and the main difference from it and Guitar Hero 4, is that there is a new Party Play mode, making it easier to play with a lot of friends together. It is so new, that it still doesn't have a set date of release on the market, but it is expected to be sold by next year.

Avatar, the New 3D Videogame

The new game called Avatar, based on the 3D film from James Cameron, is one the most expected games of the year. The game's setting is at year 2035 at a planet called Pandora. It is going to be one of the first 3D games intended to be sold for all new consoles (xbox360, ps3, Wii). The plot is about a guy called Jake Sully, a paralysed ex-marine who finds out that his brother had been part of a clandestine military operation. I believe this is gonna be a great game for everyone!
