The leap that NCAA has done from the 09 to the 10th of this year is quite irrelevant


In the field of football gaming there was a time when “Madden” took control over “NCAA” kingdom of the most favored US games – football - in regard to better graphics and gameplay, but lately, “NCAA Football 10” seems to gain supremacy again considering the quality of the game. Improved with new interesting additions NCAA Football 10 delivers a touch of familiarity to the gamers, though in the end it doesn’t prove to be all that consistent.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
A new feature is introduced by the ‘Season Showdown’ mode that links your profile to the one of a particular college team. This link allows you, thanks to Season showdown mode, to keep track over every decision and action you make while handling all the modes present in the game, at the same time awarding points for the college you have previously chosen to play and credits the good sportsmanship for your team.

ncaaAnother interesting thing is the living leader-board of all the nationals 120 NCAA football teams that displays every player’s contribution in a huge pool of competition, for in the end of the real-life season, the first 32 teams to dispute their abilities in order to compete in a tournament that decides the Season Showdown team-champion. This constant statistic that is tracked across the modes of the game reveals to be a good idea, though it is only a passive trait of the game, the game’s action relying mostly on playing the game in three types: dynasty, exhibition and Road to Glory.

The old Campus Legend mode is back under the name of Road to Glory featuring live-action cut-scenes with the main character, Erin Andrews, a reporter superfluously added in the display of the game. Next to other new elements unimportant to the game’s dynamic, there still is a problem which previously existed in Campus Legend mode: the annoying effort to get your player from the status of a practice performance to the one of actually lining up for the start. Even after you are there, at the starting line up, you still miss some positions that you might have otherwise preferred to the few viable existing ones.

To create a team with this new game’s release you can do it with the help of EA’s Team builder site which enables you to ‘edit’ players and custom uniforms and logos in a an endless list pf possibilities. But creating your team according to your own desires may seem useless as long as you have to play on a stadium that looks like Horseshoe Ohio, for instance. But either way, the play out there in the field looks real enough and there is the feature of a play-calling screen that informs you about some strategies needed to be taken in regard to defense or other actions you foresee to make in the dynamic of the play.

Apart from these features there are some interferences during the play, such as a clock that is rather bugging while it announces the end of the halves together with some commentaries that don’t have any connection whatsoever with the actions going on on the filed. All in one, the leap that NCAA has done from the 09 to the 10th of this year is quite irrelevant, letting us hope that for the next NCAA Football 11 there will be indeed consistent additions made to comprise also better on-field presentation.

G-Force, a new experience in the game fields


The Eurocom developer studios in Derby that produced the G-Force movie hosted the preview of the embodiment of the spirit of a G-Force guinea pig translated into a 3D game. The fun combats combined with clever puzzles and rewarding experiences turn the game into a good fellowship with the blockbuster movie.

The main character is represented by a guinea pig which is known to be in real life an oversized rat that lives in its own filth, whereas in the game it is equipped with high-tech weaponry with jetpacks wrapped around its furry back. The game presents a community of such ‘rats’ which have the fate of the planet on their paws and one has to be grateful that it happens only in the game. But next to this, the G-Force is displaying a lot of fun with an exciting experience in being engaged in combats, and well-created puzzles.

g-forceThe duration of the game is about 10 hours and you can play as the character called Darwin, who is the G-Force leader caught in an action combined with a big amount of story, while being carried in a constant back-an-forth moves that are supposed to point you in the right direction. In all these motions you are allowed to jump and shoot the objectives that come into your way being ready at the same time to measure your brain with a lot of puns and one-liners while you are engaged in your quest.

The action of the game is satisfying enough, considering that right from the beginning you are provided with a tutorial that guides you through the bases of your moves revealing a strong control system presented in the G-Force game. You don’t have however the options to choose among a variety of weapons, but the way in which you have to face your enemies requires from you skills of strategy. When you are not engaged in a battle against monstrous microwaves, you have to face the solving of a puzzle rendered for instance, by finding ways to open locked doors or to figure out how to hack sophisticated computer equipment.

In the above described parts there is an element that makes the game more fun to be, as it is with controlling your fly pal called Mooch, which is able to fly all over and to penetrate through all kind of things in order to gain some power-ups. The pace of your moves can be slowed down to help you pass through edgy situations, a feature that shows its efficiency also late in the game. If you play G-Force in small parts, it can give you more joyful experience than if you play it for long stretches. Not to mention that the visuals are very well rendered, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 offering good packages with two pairs of 3D glasses that provide a cool reality effect to your jumping and flying.

Even if you consider yourself a veteran in game playing and think that this game doesn’t provide too much fun, you still have to try it and see that the explosive battles and tricky puzzles offer enough satisfaction to see G-Force as a new experience in the game fields.
