A kick flippin’ review for Skate 2.
Skate 2 begins with the character customisation screen, all the usual features apply with the ability to edit your characters facial features, body shape, clothing and accessories.
You can come back to the Character Edit screen via the Start menu to change your characters’ appearance, apparel, accessories and deck wheels and trucks. You must purchase everything before you can use it and some things need to be unlocked by completing certain single player and online challenges.
The story then begins with a video describing how your character has recently come out of jail and how the city of San Vanelona has changed since you were last here (Skate 1)
A brief tutorial section introduces you to the fundamentals of skating and introduces the new ability to get off your board and walk/run around and the ability to move some objects in the city to create your own skating spots.
After meeting with Slappy in his park and doing the first few challenges you are free to explore the city.
(Welcome to New San Vanelona)
There are a range of challenges and activities for you to complete within your single player game. Some of these are photo and video footage challenges, Death races and Thrasher Hall of Meat challenges. Completing challenges earns you money which you can spend in the Skate shop or on various betting opportunities during the game.
The photo an video challenges simply require you to perform a certain trick or line in a set area e.g. kick flip over the gap.
Death races require you to race against other skaters down hill to a designated finish line, you must follow a set path passing through checkpoints to add to your time limit.
The Thrasher Hall of Meat challenges were my personal favourite. At any time during game play you can press (LS)+(RS)+[LT]+[RT] and your character will force a bail (fall off his/her board) you can then hold your (RS) in different directions to make your skater perform different poses. Cannon ball, Judo Kick, Spread Eagle, Pencil Dive. Your (LS) then controls the spin of your skater during the bail. The higher you fall, or the longer you are in the air the harder you will slam. The object of the challenges is to fulfill certain damages to your skater e.g. break 10 bones in one bail.
(Hall of Meat description from the game developers)
Within your game you will meet a large list of professional skaters who will offer you Pro challenges which are similar to the footage challenges in which you must complete a certain trick within a certain area, some simply require you to follow the pro to a location staying within a certain distance in metres.
Owning the Spot is another returning challenge to the game in which you must perform a trick or a line of tricks to earn a set amount of points in a certain area aka spot. Once you have owned the spot you can kill it by performing tricks to earn a higher set amount of points on the same spot.
At any time during your game you can bring up the menu and enter into an Xbox live match. You can choose to join a quick match in which you join a random game either all ready in progress or about to begin. Or you can choose to join a custom match in which you can select a specific game type to play. To be honest I’m not sure what exactly all of the online activities are, as I didn’t play much online myself. I do know however you can do Death Races online. You can also do Best trick competitions in which players much battle to earn the most points in one trick or a line of tricks within a time limit.
New San Vanelona has changed and policing of the streets has become a big threat to all Skaters in forms of extra security and many areas have been “capped” (metal caps over stairs, ledges and rails rendering them un skate-able) Due to this you can use your phone, by pressing [LB] to call/hire some people to provide certain services for you.
You can hire Big Black and he will provide you with some personal security, allowing you to skate high risk areas without interruption from security guards.
Mikey will un-cap areas for you, so you can skate them freely, but if security are in the area and they “see” him do it then it may immediately become capped again.
Sammy will drain swimming pools for you, which turns them into skate-able bowls.
(Sammy’s Pool Draining Service, High Quality version available on Youtube site!)
You can also use your phone to offer throwdown challenges to pro skaters that you have met during your game. After deciding on an amount to bet you take part in a game of S.K.A.T.E. The object of the game is to set a trick for the other skater to copy, the pro always goes first, if you or the pro bail, or repeat a previously set trick then its becomes the other skaters’ turn. Failure to copy the set trick earns a letter. The loser is the first person to spell out S.K.A.T.E.
Upon completion of the main story challenges you get your congratulatory F.M.V, you are then free to continue your game, completing any un-finished challenges and earning any achievements you need.
So all in all I give Skate 2 – 9 out of 10.
Another graphically sound feature packed game with plenty of gameplay to enjoy. In my opinion the Skate games are alot better than the “Tony Hawk” Range, So if you want a real fun Skating experience I can highly recommend Skate 2!!
Thanks for reading

*IN GAME HINT*
Within the in-game Skate shop you can purchase a range of clothing for your Skater but there is no option to change the colour of your chosen items… Or is there…
This works for T-Shirts, Button Shirts, Hoodies, Jackets, and Sweaters. This will not work if you already purchased the Custom Tee. All I can say is when your doing this NEVER purchase the Custom Tee!
Please follow the steps they are very simple.
Step 1. Choose your T-Shirt, Button Shirt, Hoodie, Jacket, or Sweater. If you already have it purchased that is fine!
Step 2. Once you have your Top selected go back to Merchandise/Store. Now select T-Shirts, and click on Custom Tee. From there just hit Start, and it will take you into the purchasing menu.
Step 3. WHATEVER YOU DO DON’T PURCHASE THE CUSTOM TEE
Step 4. Hit edit receipt, check off remove item (Top: Custom Tee should be highlighted). Now just hit back to store and it should have your chosen top selected with the color palette. Choose the color you want and just hit start and your good to go.

Heres a lights, camera, action review for You’re In The Movies.
In order to play this game you will need the Xbox 360 Live Vision Camera. You can buy the game and camera together in a pack, and you can buy them separate if you already have the game or the camera!
To enjoy playing this game you will need good room lighting, so you should either open window blinds and curtains or if you are playing at night I suggest you close all curtains and have some bright lights on in the room!
A large clear space is best to play in with a plain backdrop, some clothing that contrasts with the backdrop is also good to help the camera to pick you up.
One thing I will say about the camera set up (In my game experience as it may differ between users!) the camera tends to miss parts of you off on the screen if you dont set it up correctly, im not exactly sure why it does this, but in all honesty I played in my room which wasnt a large environment and there was too much in the background for the camera to cope with. So I highly recommend playing in dark coloured clothing against a white wall! Here are the rules on this anyway.
There are 30 movies you can choose from in 5 genres…
Action, Sci-Fi, Horror, Disaster and Classic.
… Once you have chosen your movie you must then choose how many players there are up to a maximum of 4. Each player must then take the sreenshot of themselves which acts as their in game avatar. Every session is made up of different sections in which players take it in turns to act out a certain emotion or action, and take part in mini games which all make up the final product.
(Here is an actress acting scared)
The more actors there are determines how many rounds of acting will take place, An average 4 player movie can take 20 – 30 mins to complete. This can get a bit tiresome and repetative as you tend to be doing the same things over and over again. If you are going for the 1000 gamer points you will need to complete all 30 movies in 4 player mode, so i suggest you do this from the begining save repeating all of the movies! If you do not have 4 people to play with you can act all parts in the movies yourself (Which I did for some movies) but this gets very boring after a short time!
Some mini games will require two actors to take part at a time, like the one below in which players must splash each other with mud.
(It’s A Bit Messy)
Once all of the actors have finished acting their parts, you are then shown the final product in which the game puts together your recorded parts into the movie you have chosen. Here is an example of a finished movie…
Another game mode is Director mode, this game lets you become the director and create your own movies from start to finish. You choose how many and which scenes will be used, you can even add your own vocals and sound effects.
Some of the achievements require you to complete certain mini games, If like me you complete all of the movies and havent attained all of these achievments you can play any of the mini games via the menu, to save you going through movies again trying to find certain mini games!
So all together I give You’re In The Movies – 8 out of 10.
A great party game with lots of hilarious movies to take part in, unfortunately due to some potential graphical issues, and lack of continuous enjoyable single playability I have to mark it down slightly!
Thanks for reading

A Heroic review for a brilliant Action RPG…
Wow Is the first and main thing I have to say… WOW. Fable 2 has had me hooked and is very different from most games for me. Usually I will play a game until I haved attained the 1000 points or until I have completed it and cannot possibly earn anymore points, then I will trade it in. Fable 2 however has kept me coming back for more. Since buying the game on 27th December 08 and completing it a week later I have completed it multiple times with a few different characters.
I didnt play Fable 1 so I dont really have anything to compare it too, but I will still offer my opinion.
After selecting a male or female character the begining of the game plays like a tutorial as you are a child living on the streets with your sister, it teaches you about movement, combat and character interaction etc. After the events of the introduction pass you find yourself now older as you have become a strong young man/woman and you can then begin your journey.
(A young male character begining his journey)
Fable 2 offers players a huge free roam environment called Albion in which to explore. (Which is 10 times bigger than Fable 1 for anyone that played it.) This environment is filled with many different regions each with its own city for you to explore. The graphics in Fable 2 are stunning, the differing environments from town to town give you a detailed impression of how life in Albion would be, from the bustling streets of Bowerstone Market Town Center to the lush greenery of Oakfield are very detailed and believable. Similar to the system featured in “Oblivion” and “Fallout 3” you can fast travel. So if you dont want to make your journeys on foot, you can select what region you want to travel to within the game menu!
(Oakfield’s Beauty in all its glory!)
The concept of the game consists of working your way from region to region completeting quests that you recieve along the way. The main quest line will take you through the story of the game whereas you can accept side quests from villagers and other characters all of which you can complete in any way you want. A large part of the game makes you choose whether to complete it by being good or evil, You characters visual appearance will change dependant on your charcter’s lieniency towards good/evil, and pure/corrupt. If you are good a halo will appear above you head, whereas if you are evil, devil like horns wil appear on your character’s forehead. Also if you are pure glowing light blue streaks will appear all over your charcters body, whereas if you are corrupt, darker dull red streaks will appear.
(A completely evil character, with full Devil horns and glowing red eyes!)
Along your travels you will encounter a variety of creatures and humans that will attack you these range from the dwarf like Hobbes (It is said Hobbes kidnap children and turn them into Hobbes themselves) to werewolf like Balverines to huge towering Trolls. Human enemies include bandits and assasins.
(Being surrounded by bandits doesnt worry our brave hero.)
To combat these foes, you can use Hand to Hand Combat, using weapons like Longswords, Katanas, Axes and Maces. Long Ranged weapons include, Crossbows, Rifles and Pistols. You can also use Magic Attacks such as the electric Shock, the fire Inferno, and Raise Dead which raises the souls of fallen enemies around you which come back to fight for you. The combat system is pretty basic and its really down to button bashing but the attacks are set to X (Hand to Hand),Y (Long Ranged) and B (Magic) buttons. If you die in combat, your character will recieve battle scars on their body.
(A very “shocking” performance for those hollowmen!)
During combat you can earn experience points, you earn different points dependant on your attack, Blue strength for hand to hand attacks, Yellow skill for ranged attacks, Red will for magic attacks also Green for general experience points. These experience points appear as little orbs that drop from your enemies as you attack. When the battle is over or even during if your daring you can hold your “RT” trigger and the experience will be drawn into your character. If you die in combat you simply revive in the same spot you died you just lose any battle experience you hadn’t collected during the combat up to that point.
(Sorry about the quality, Here you can see the experience orbs on the ground!)
Aside from all of the quests and fighting there is a lot to do in Albion. You can try to live a normal life in that you can make people fall in live with you by impressing them enough, to a point that you can get married by offering a ring to someone that loves you, Upon marrying and selecting a marital home you can have protected or unprotected sex with your wife/husband, unprotected sex can however lead to your character contracting STD’s and you could also have a little child of your own.
(“Do not worry ladies I have time for all of you”)
Within the many towns and regions of Albion there are many properties to buy like shops, pubs, houses etc. You can earn money by renting out the houses, and from the profit your shops bring in, but dependant on your pure/corrupt lieniency you can choose to alter rent to any where between 100% above or below the oringinal prices. Obviously charging no rent is going to make you pure, whereas being greedy will make people dislike you and become corrupt.
Aside from your statistic building experience points, you can earn Renown points which basically add up to how famous/well known you are within Albion. You can earn renown by completing quests for people and earning trophies which you can show off to people via the expression wheel.
(My Hero displaying one of his many Trophies.)
During your time spent in Albion you will undoubtedly encounter an endless amount of villagers, settlers and other people to converse with. To interact with people you must use the expression wheel. There are various expressions to use from Social, Fun and Flirtatious ones to Scary and even Rude ones. All of which have different effects on how people react to you e.g. Fun and Social expressions will make people like and even love you, whereas Scary or Rude expressions will make people fear or even hate you.
(Trying to impress “Sue the Housewife” with some flirty expressions)
If no one else within your Fable experience, you will always find one friend wherever you go. Man’s best friend itself, your dog. Always at your side your dog follows you on quests and wherever you go throughout Albion. Although it is nice to have the company while your travelling, your dog does have its uses. You can train your dog to be a stronger fighter, you can also teach him to hunt for treasure in which case he will find treasure chests and items buried in dig spots that are near you and will lead you to them.
(Giving your faithfull friend some loving praise!)
There are two versions of the online multiplayer. First of all there is the co-operative mode in which someone can join your gameas a physical character and help you with quests and fighting etc. The other version is chosen from the in game menu. You must select to display player orbs and whether to display friends only or everyone. Then little orbs will appear which represent other players online. You can then approach the orbs and interact with them by chatting or giving them gifts etc.
(Here I am interacting with another player’s orb online via Xbox Live.)
Downloadable Content: Knothole Island = 800 microsoft points.
Knothole Island gives players an extra quest line in which you must solve Knothole’s weather problems, you can help the “Box of Secrets” shop restock by finding certain items around Albion, and their are 10 informative books detialing Knothole Island’s history for you to find within the region. By completing these tasks throughout you can earn another 3 achievements worth 100 gamerpoints.
So finally all in all I give Fable 2 – 10 out of 10.
Another highly addictive RPG game that has had me hooked! With a brilliant story and great re-playabilitly and massive explorative capability this game keeps you coming back for more! I have given it top marks because, in my opinion, this game cannot be faulted!
Thanks for reading

A high note of a review for…
Before I start the review I will have to say if you dont like karaoke or singing then you probably wont want this game, but then I will highly advise you to get it anyway!!
The main excuse I hear from/about people not playing this game is because they “Cant Sing?!”. The point is it doesnt matter, thats the best part of it. I cant sing to save my own life but I still rack in the high scores! The game would be boring if we were all beyonces (because of the vocal chords not the booty!)
Lips is a very simple yet very effective Karaoke game it has a simple layout with easy to navigate menus…
Sing mode. This is the bread and butter of the game the basis of this mode is simple you choose a song from the alphabetised list and you sing it Lips comes with 40 songs standard. After choosing a song you are taken to the video select screen. You can choose to sing along to the normal music video or you can choose from a list of “Party Games” to play while you sing wich are better played cooperatively….
– Virtual Music Video. The character within the video reacts to your gameplay, the more you perform and the better you do the character will dance and lip-sync along with you.
– Time Bomb. In this game players work together to perform well to build their star power meter and when full players can perform a gesture which then puts out the bombs fuse for a short period of time. The object of the game is to complete the song before the fuse runs out thereby exploding the bomb.
– Kiss presents two lovers trying to reach each other to kiss. Players must perform well to build their star power meter as the characters run towards each other, when the meter is full the gestures for both players will appear, at which time players must activate their gesture at the exact same time making the on screen characters kiss. However if players dont match their gestures then there are some nasty consequences!
– Vocal Fighters. This is the game for the competitor in all of us as it is a one-on-one competition to win the most fans. The object of the game is to perform better than your opponent to boot one another off the stage to earn points. At the end of the song who ever has the most points wins.
(Choosing which music video / party game to play.)
Once you have chosen you music video you can then choose to sing the full song or a shortened version of it.
The object of the game is to not only sing songs but perform them. You are awarded points for doing certain things within songs also dependant on how well you perform.
– Star Power – As you sing you earn star power which is indicated by a bar than runs above the on screen lyrics. Once the bar is full a character will appear displaying a specific gesture you are required to perform in order to activate your star power.
– Gestures – There are a variety of gestures for you to perform in order to activate your star power, all of which have you shaking and waving the microphone around in different positions, e.g. up in the air, around your head, up and down, under your leg.
– Stars – Once you have activated your star power using a gesture the coloured bar that runs with the lyrics changes to gold and the bars fill with sequential gold dots, these are stars, while you sing in star power activated you collect these stars which then add towards your total at the end. There is an achievement for earning 100,000 stars so you will be kept busy!
– Medals – Aside from earning stars you can earn medals. There are six medals that can be earned for each and every song you perform, these are…
– Pitch – Get accurate pitch.
– Rhythm – Match your vocal rhythm to that of the song.
– Performace – Successful use of mic gesturing during breaks in singing.
– Party – Successful use of the ‘Noise Makers’ on the Xbox 360 controller.
– Technique – Use of vical expertise i.e. vibrato
– Stability – Stay on pitch for the duration of the notes.
(You can see on the left, this player has just earned the Technique medal)
– Noise Makers – Although the game relies heavily on the use of the microphones, it does not make the Xbox 360 controller obselete. You can use the buttons on the controller to add your own sound effects in game to boost your score and earn medals. The noise makers are usually just symbals or clapping sounds to accompany your singing. As you use noise makers, and stay on beat with the song, a light begins to glow at the top of the screen when it is at its brightest you can shake your microphone during breaks in singing to earn star power alot quicker!
Jukebox Mode – This mode provides the music to your party, you can select from your favourite songs or select a play list and the game will play through your choices displaying the music video for that song. A brilliant feature of Jukebox mode and that of the Lips Microphones is that at any time during Jukebox mode you can simply shake your microphone to activate it and join in the song, at which time the game displays the lyrics for the current song and you can continue to sing as you do in normal Sing mode.
Get Music – This mode gives players the endless singing freedom they want and have always desired from karaoke games. Get music allows players to add their own music from external devices such as the Xbox 360 Hard Drive or from their iPod or other MP3 player. Once a device is chosen all available tracks appear then players simply choose which songs they want and add them to Lips. A word of warning however to sing songs from an external device the said device must be plugged into the Xbox 360 Console, otherwise they become unavailable!
(The Get Music menu option, the icons floating above are all of the songs I have added)
.After adding music to Lips you are going to want to sing them. These songs however are not the same as the pre-loaded ones and are sung in Freestyle Mode. This mode displays random visualisations during singing and there are no lyrics displayed. Although singing songs you know and have added yourself is fun it does have a few downsides, since there are no registered lyrics you can find yourself struggling (Unlessof course you really know the song) Also since there are no defined lyrics there is very little to score from. Im not entirely sure how the scoring works in freestyle mode, but you do not earn medals and you earn very few stars.
My Lips – This mode is the home base for all of your Lips statistics. It is split into three columns…
– My Profile, this column displays your current star count, your total medals, your average song rank, your total songs sung and total unique songs sung, it also displays your current challenges wins.
– My Friends, this column displays all of your friends list, form which you can issue challenges to whomever you wish. Obviously only people with the Lips game themselves will be able to accept and take part in those challenges.
– Top Ten, this column shows you the top ten songs you have performed, it shows how many times you have performed each song and how many times it has been performed worldwide.
Options – This screen gives you the opportunity to edit you Lips experience to suit you. It offers you the choice to change your main menu theme, the colour of your sing bars whilst playing a song, you can turn your Microphone LED lights on or off, and you can choose whether you want sounds effects and noise makers on or off.
The only negative I would have to say is that Lips is a game that should be enjoyed in company, meaning if you play it often by yourself it can become very boring, also constantly singing the same songs gets annoying.
So finally all in all I give Lips – 9.5 out of 10.
This game is very fun indeed, With a brilliant achievement list and many singing opportunities it is fun for all the family!
Enjoy and Thanks
Peace & Love To All

A high speed review for the next game in a brilliant series…
As per usual begining to the NFS series you start out as a new racer in town, but this time with a twist “The hunter becomes the hunted” makes no sense?! I will explain! You are a cop and you are Undercover! There are various street gangs tearing up the streets of Tri-City Bay and it is your job to put an end to it, whilst taking part in it at the same time! Very fun.
Tri-City Bay, the new free roaming environment, is made up of over 100 miles of open free roaming road. Within Tri-City Bay you’ll find smaller areas such as Palm Harbor, Port Crecent, Gold Coast Mountains, and Sunset Hills.
(Tri-City Bay Trailer)
Within the game there are a vaiety of race modes for you to take part in. There are the usual Circuit and Sprint races, checkpoint races make a comeback but this time we have a new race mode highway battles in which racers battle to win through traffic filled highways. We also have a great online race mode called Cops ‘n’ Robbers, this mode splits racers into two teams Cops & robbers. The robbers have to race around the small track and pick up the bags of money and race them back to the safe point, and the cops have to stop them by blocking their path or staying right next to them while a red bar fills at the bottom of the screen. This time however drifting is not an included race mode within the game. However, as im sure a lot of people have tryed to do on past NFS titles, you can drift around the city simply by handbraking around corners or over / understeering your car, which actually initiates a drift you can attain points for, rather than imitation drifting attainable on previous titles!
(Nissan Skyline GT-R vs. Porsche 911)
The cops are back in Undercover and bring similar opporunties to that of ” NFS Most Wanted” we have Cost to State races in which drivers must cause a set amount of damage to the city, by destroying things, and then evade the cops. Cop Takedown requires racers to disable a set amount of cop cars then evade, there are also simple evade events where you must simply evade capture.
(Highspeed pursuit with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution)
There are 55 very attractive picture perfect cars for you to drive on NFS Undercover these include…..
2006 Aston Martin DB9
2008 Audi R8
2006 Audi RS 4

1967 Shelby GT500
2008 Shelby GT500KR
1998 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo (Mk4)
2006 Volkswagen Golf R32 (Mk V)
2008 Volkswagen Scirocco
(Some cars are available via collectors edition and/or DLC)
In a negative point towards the cars, I would say that pretty much all of them handle the same only differing with speed and performance after upgrade. My favourite car however has to be the Bugatti Veyron! Very fast! As you can see in this guys video…
The tuning / modifcation system is back in Undercover as usual you can upgrade your cars performance by purchasing the tiered upgrade packs. You can then adjust the tuning settings for you car to adapt better with your driving style! The visual modification system brings back the body kit, wheels & paint, but doesnt have a tremendous selection that aside its not really needed as this title isn’t based heavily on the look of the cars, obviously the driving is most important!
So finnally all in all I give Need for Speed: Undercover – 8.5 out of 10.
I have heard people compare this game as a mix between Most Wanted and Carbon, this game is yet another decent racing game in the Need for Speed series, Its not to everyones taste and does have a few minor flaws but it is still a very fun driving game! Im looking forward to the next one!
Thanks for reading!
