Wet - Fighting Game for PS3 and Xbox 360

Released 5 days ago on the 15th of September 2009 Wet is great combination of sword fighting and shooting game and will surely be a popular choice of fighting game to buy as a Christmas gift. You take on the character of Rubi Malone, a mercenary for hire who takes on a job to find the missing son of a wealthy business man but is subsequently betrayed by her employer and drawn into a murky world of murder and warring factions. She finds herself on the run and searching for the man who hired her in the first place.

Wet has a retro style with 70’s music and visuals and with a fast paced and exciting, if slightly unimaginative storyline. One of the best parts of the game are all the acrobatic moves your character can and must do, which are challenging but work the way you intuitively feel that they should making it easy to react quickly and pull off some cool moves. You can also shoot while performing jumps, slides, while running and so on, which is good. The sword fighting comes with some great stylized combos with satisfying graphics, but are really just there as finnishing moves to make a kill when you get in close, making this basically a shooting game in my mind.

Going into ‘rage mode’ is quite entertaining as it changes the graphics of the whole game to black white and red with a Japanese anime style for as long as it lasts. Overall the graphics are one of the strong points of this game, with an emphasis on style rather than detail and realism.

Probably the main downside of Wet is the fact that it doesn’t have a multiplayer online feature, which means that when you’ve finnished the game it is finnished and you can’t keep playing by going online, but having said that there is a large amount of unlockable extra content to the main game, so it should keep you going for a fair while.

My rating - 4.5 out of 5

Call of Duty: World At War Review

Call of Duty: World at War is a first-person shooter game available for the PC, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, and the PS3. Developed by Treyarch and published by Activision, this action-packed video game takes place in World War 2 and focuses on the most famous battles of its time. The game has pretty much the same game play as Call of Duty 4, just a different setting.

Call of Duty: World at War has taken its franchise’s realism to a whole new level. The graphics look better than ever. Hence, when you play it you are totally engulfed by the game. You feel as if you really are a soldier in the middle of nowhere, fighting for your life in decayed environments.

Call of Duty: World at War has definitely adopted a more mature theme than its previous game. This game builds on the grittiness and darkness of war. There is plenty of violence and blood for those demented people who enjoy this sort of game.

Zombie Levels

Once the campaign version of this game ends and the credits finish running, you will be eligible to play the zombie levels. In these levels, you must battle monstrous zombies in a building until your death. Killing the zombies will gain you access to new weapons in the location. However, the zombies will not surrender easily. They will continuously break boarded entrances to try to reach and kill you. You have the option to rebuild the entrances to keep the zombies out the building as much as possible.

Nazi Zombies: If you wait for the game credits to end after you have completed the campaign, you get the opportunity to behave like a zombie hunter. The Nazi Zombie level is a mini-game set in a map called Nacht der Untoten, which is German for “night of the undead”. You play as a soldier stuck in a deteriorated house. Your goal is to survive waves of bloodthirsty zombies for as long as you can. Defeating these hideous creatures will gain you access to more weapons in the area.

Japanese Zombies: The Japanese zombie level is a vigorous one. It takes place on a map named Shi No Numa (Japanese for Death Swamp) and the name of this map suits it well. You will be able to play this map once you have completed the Nazi zombies map.

Call of Duty: World at War for the PC

If you are trying to play Call of Duty: World at War on your PC, it probably will not be able to run. Call of Duty is one of the most demanding games performance-wise. You will need a highly sophisticated PC to play this game.

Overall

There is nothing negative to say about this game. It has wondrous graphics, a great storyline, and action-packed game play. What more could the ultimate gaming geek ask for? The Call of Duty franchise has been a favorite for many, and the game’s developers will continue to create these fantastic games. These games are truly epic.
