• Version : -
• Release date : 17 May 2011
• Genre : Detective fiction
• Mode : Open world

Game Info :

LA Noire is one of Rockstar's latest project is reportedly the largest budget-consuming development of the entire development of the game has ever seen now. This game is an interactive detective story set in at the end of the period of 1940.

Here, gamers will play as Cole Phelps, a detective who is confronted with a case. In the action, the detective must gather all the clues and pieces of the puzzle are to solve a series of murders that occurred in the city of LA. This game will have a world of open world games like GTA, so gamers can explore the city of LA as they pleased. The developer himself has said that it had created the city of Los Angeles in the 40s and its contents with sufficient detail.

Nevertheless, this game will have no side quests or mini games that can be played. This is because L.A. Noire is a game that more emphasis on the way to the central character in resolving the case. The investigation began with a visit to the scene and this is where the adventure begins. Gamers can check the location of the scene, taking objects that may be of interest, note the instructions on the notebook you have, and try to arrange the events that led to the crime.

In this game, we'll play a character named Cole Phelps, one American hero in World War II. Cole even earned the Silver Star when he returned to his country, his courage and his struggle in the war on Okinawa in 1945. Rockstar along with Team Bondi seem to want to portray a character who is really firm and brave in this figure Phelps Cole. Unfortunately no information regarding what their rank or position with Cole when he was joined the U.S. Military.

After returning to his country in 1947, to receive the award, Cole saw that Los Angeles was filled with a variety of crimes are quite severe, from robbery, to murder. Due to see all these things, then Cole "moved" to join the LAPD. But a big name as a hero, and he obtained an award does not guarantee that he will immediately acquire Cole fairly good job when coming in the LAPD, it was her career started from the bottom.

In the early game, gamers will help Cole Phelps' career as a police "initial level", to move as a traffic cop, and finally helped Cole as one of the mainstay in the LAPD detective. Here Cole is described as the "Good Cops", which is really not affected by a variety of corruption and other criminal activities are nearby. Cole Phelps somehow figure is slightly reminds me of Eliot Ness.

Rockstar Party along with Team Bondi own promise that the storyline in LA Noire will be very complex while maintaining the realistic elements that exist. The developer hopes through this game, gamers will be able to understand about how life and the workings of a Cole Phelps as a detective who lived in the 1940s, the party itself Rockstars LA Noire describe this as "Detective Thriller."

Xbox 360 : Halo: Reach

• Developer : Bungie
• Publisher : Microsoft Game Studios
• Series : Halo
• Version :
• Release date : September 14, 2010
• Genre : First-person shooter 
• Mode : Single-player, co-op, multiplayer 
• Media/distribution : DVD-9

Game Info :

Halo: Reach is a project that will come for the Halo series, planned for release in 2010 in a press conference at E3 in 2009. The story itself spun in the aftermath of the story of The Fall of the Reach, where there are still many Spartans who fought. Reach Colonies, namely Noble Team, was heavily battered by the Covenant are cunning and ruthless. While the federation came to save the heroic Spartan warriors who are still lagging behind.

As the last Halo game from Bungie (Halo series will be followed by 343 Industries, owned by Microsoft), naturally Bungie gave a special game for the fans, both old and new.

Background colony planet, Reach, which is the center of military development in humans in 2552, the story begins when our character, which simply referred to as the Noble Six, joined the Noble team consisting of five other Spartans. Carter's leadership, the technician Kat, Jun the sniper, the veteran Jorge, and Emile is brutal. Characters we joined with Noble Noble Team to replace the old Six of the dead (can be seen in the trailer Deliver Hope), so no wonder he's a bit difficult at first accepted. But because the Covenant alien invasion has begun, inevitably they must cooperate.

When we play the campaign mode, the graphics are certainly most easily assessed first. Like the previous Halo, the game is still full of contrasting colors but not like Halo 3. Starting from purple to black can all be combined well and looks very soft. Results of Halo 3 engine is overhauled completely so it does not disappoint. This time all the characters look very life and character facial models has increased further.

Well then in the battle even now you will not be alone, often friends Noble Team will assist in battle, or the UNSC Army soldiers, even armed civilians can also help. Friend and foe alike AI also increased dramatically. Without your help fellow Spartans to finish off opponents and enemies such as Elite and Brute are smarter in the face of the throw grenades. I can spend 45 to 78 minutes in one level only. And play co-op will not be easy because the game itself will add the number and strengthen the enemy.

But other than Covenant and UNSC forces, Halo Reach gives "life" another in his world. Sometimes you will find a group of birds Moa running, and on missions in the cities you will find the people-ordinary citizens who ran in panic when the Covenant invades.

Many weapons are in the redesign and new weapons. And of course that add variety of gameplay that is Armor Abilities. Armor Abilities adding new capabilities for players such as: the ability to run, jetpack, holograms, camouflage, roll to dodge, shield-shaped protective bubble, and become immune for a while. In campaign mode by default Ability Armor sprint and can be exchanged if you find another Ability Armor. But in multiplayer mode and Firefight, you will choose a variety of loadout with a choice of weapons and armor Ability diverse.

Talking about multiplayer, I had tried online because there are promotional trials Gold for several days. Multiplayer mode is still the same as in its beta version with additions folders and playlists, so for more details you can read my post about the multiplayer beta. This multiplayer mode is indeed one of the flagship features of Halo, with his matchmaking system that goes well, our preference towards certain players, all high quality. And this indeed has been a mainstay since Halo: CE.

Game Info :

Broken Steel, the latest add-on for the enthusiast Fallout 3 finally appears also. Add-on can be played by the owners of the Xbox 360 and PC and this latest expansion to extend the story, give some new weapons and new armor that you can use. For those who claim to be fans of Fallout 3, the add-on is required to play.

The story in Broken Steel will continue the primary mission in Fallout 3. Parties Bethesda knows that many gamers are disappointed with the ending there on Fallout 3 and that's why, Bethesda was taken way out by making this latest expansion. As a result, a very unfortunate ending is also missing and gamers get the opportunity to continue the exploration of the desert region.

After a little bit strange transition from the end of Fallout 3 to get into the content Broken Steel, you'll find your character in the Citadel and was ready to carry out the mission and adventure. Although Project Purity successful and clean water has flowed, but the battle between the enclave and the Brotherhood is still not finished. Worse yet, without any pumping system, other problems also arise, namely the problem of distributing clean water through the sewer line. This is where you are in the form of three main missions and also some new side missions.

Most of your adventures will take place at Capital Wasteland. There will be some good places to be explored, including the Prime Liberty and the presence of a mission that will take you to Adams Air Force Base. Admittedly, these new missions feel more exciting and also provide more opportunities for you to make decisions according to your best and also the consequences that quite well and really made Fallout 3 is difficult to forget.

To play this game, we took about 8 hours to complete. Here, you'll find some new enemies and new weapons that you can use to face your enemy's. One of his weapons is the Tesla Canon that can destroy almost any enemy in the game with just one shot. Even Vertibirds can be imposed only with a single gunshot. Then there are also Heavy Incinerator who can shoot a blast of fire at a distance far enough. We feel this new weapon is enough to spoil the gamers who like Fallout 3.

For most gamers, the most important features in Broken Steel is increasing the level from level 20 to level 30. For gamers who've played this game, would feel that to reach level 20 is easy. Even before reaching the end of the game too, we are sure many gamers who have reached level 20. Therefore, to increase the thrill of games, Bethesda adds another level to the maximum sustained level of 30. By default, this adds a good enough reason to go back to previous levels to settle matters that have not been completed. Whether it's side missions or just common exploration.
