Wii Goldeneye’s fully toss weapons

28 Feb

Continuing with the Wii Goldeneye theme, I have another complaint (admittedly, the last complaint was about me and other players, not the game itself).

The guns are crap.

There are probably loads of great weapons if you spend all your time online, but Goldeneye isn’t about that – it’s about shooting your mates in the face. It’s about being in the same room and this element of the multiplayer is lacking.

All the guns are much the same and you don’t get that moment where suddenly one of you has oblitero-cannon and everyone else has to leg it. It’s all too equal. It’s all too fair.

My first online Goldeneye experience

28 Feb

That sounds like a particularly sordid sexual practice. It isn’t. This post is about the first time I played the Wii version of Goldeneye online.

Like many people, I am a veteran of the original Goldeneye and while I’m not the most skilled at the newer version, I’m not the worst. Nevertheless, I have rarely been killed more frequently than I was during my first online efforts.

I think the Belgian beer may have played a part, but mostly it was just the remorseless killing machines I was pitted against. I also developed a highly unproductive combat habit whereby my right arm – my aiming arm – would spazz out in shock when confronted with an opponent, costing me valuable aiming seconds while I pointed it at the screen again.

Alpha Protocol release

3 Nov

Alpha Protocol is one of the latest games released this month. Labeled as a Spy Action RPG game, Alpha Protocol will put you in the personage of Michael Thorton, a fallen governmental agent carrying a heavy secret that could prevent a international catastrophe.

The game graphics looks alright and the gameplay sounds fun. We haven’t had a chance to test the game yet but we will do very soon. The “action rpg” is intriguing and done correctly, could start a new genre of games. You don’t see that many spy games that are really revolutionary. When you’ve played the like of Metal Gear and Splinter Cell you’ve played them all, we say.

What do you think?
