Best Playstation 3 Games

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Jamielim18

The PlayStation 3 is Sony’s 7th generation video game console (3rd PlayStation model) and thus incorporates many of the latest technologies available. Not only is it a state of the art entertainment system, it also houses some of the best games Sony has to offer. Although its library isn’t as robust as that of its older sibling, the PlayStation 2, the PS3 nonetheless offers an impressive collection of games to choose from. Here is a list of some of the best PS3 games.

Resistance: Fall of Man – Standing as one of the PS3′s launch titles, Fall of Man takes place in an alternate history and begins in Europe, with strange sightings and disappearances attributed to inhuman experiments being conducted in Russia. The truth is quickly revealed as an invasion force of aliens immediately begins seizing control of the unsuspecting European territories. As the role of a soldier in the European theater of combat, you’ll fight your way through the monstrous invasion force and do your best to slow them down before all is lost.

Borderlands – Borderlands is a first person shooter/RPG game developed by Gearbox Software. The art style of this game is rendered in cell-shaded style, giving it a very animated and somewhat cartoony feel, not that this is a bad thing for most, but it may represent an obstacle if cell-shaded isn’t to your liking. On a world reminiscent of the Wild West and far, far away from Earth, you have the option of choosing from a rag tag group of colonists that each has their own special skills. If running and gunning is your preferred style, you’ll likely find the soldier as your favorite character class. Rather have stealth and speed over brute force? Try your hand at the siren class, who specializes in quick movements and electric-based powers.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots – The final chapter in video game legend Solid Snakes story. Take control of the veteran soldier for one last mission as he tries to stop the private military organization headed up by his nemesis, Liquid Ocelot, and stop him once and for all. If you’re familiar with the Metal Gear saga, then this is the game that brings the main story to a close. Make your way across several continents while meeting up with many familiar faces from earlier in the series. Some will become your allies while others will stand against you. Being one of the best PS3 games, in the end the story will leave you speechless.

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune – An Indiana Jones for a new generation, Drakes Fortune is the first of the Uncharted games and helped make the overall series what it is today. Taking control of explorer Nathan Drake as he searches for the legendary city of gold El Dorado, Uncharted is a rare instance of a platforming game in an age of first person shooters and RPGs. Although it features many platform-game elements, it mostly feels and plays like a 3rd person adventure, with awe-inspiring environments that may distract often from the true goal at hand.

The PlayStation 3 has many great games that fill just about every genre type there is. The HD display really shines with many games that were developed specifically for the system, and it’s very apparent just how much painstaking detail had to go into every moment of them. If you enjoy games that feel more like interactive stories that submerge you deep in the jungles of some far off lost world, or the dreary and empty void of space, give some of these titles a try.

Best PS2 Games

Posted on May 13, 2012 by Jamielim18

The PlayStation 2 is widely regarded as one of the greatest game consoles of all times. Boasting an extensive library of great games, it’s rather difficult to narrow the list down to the best of the best. Nonetheless, here is a compiled list of games that largely stand above the others and definitely deserve your attention if you happen to own a PS2.

Shadow Of The Colossus – This game revolves around a hero, who must defeat 16 massive creatures called ‘Colossi’ in order to break the spell on an eternally sleeping princess. The setting features a dark, eerie world and dark underlying story elements that will surprise you in the end. What sets this game apart is that the games bosses, the colossi, serve as the levels as well. You’ll have to develop clever tactics and make use of everything available to you in order to conquer this game.

God Of War – Borrowing elements from Greek mythology, God of War and its sequel God of War II feature Kratos, a disgraced Spartan warrior. The game follows his story as he fights figures from Greek legends such as Zeus, the god of thunder, and Ares, the god of war. The game plays as a ‘hack and slash’, meaning you’ll be fighting countless enemies in swarms, becoming more powerful and gaining new abilities and weapons to help you on your quest to claim vengeance against the gods.

Kingdom Hearts – Perhaps aimed towards the younger crowd, Kingdom Hearts is a story combining characters from Disney and Square Enix (The makers of Final Fantasy). An odd combination that actually works out well. You’ll battle shadowy monstrosities known as the ‘Heartless’ in order to stop their overall plan to claim the hearts of Disney princesses. As strange as it sounds, the gameplay is quite good and the story is woven in an interesting manner.

Disgaea – A game that probably isn’t as well-known as many other RPGs, Disgaea revolves around a demon named Laharl as he tries to conquer the Netherworld from other demons who desire to claim it as their own. Disgaea is a tactical RPG, played from an overhead manner. The gameplay is much like an elaborate chess game, with your warriors constantly destroying other warriors in order to claim victory. This is a long one, and to beat everything will take well over 60 hours.

Okami – Okami is portrayed as an oil-painting driven story of an ancient tale from Japanese myth. You’ll play the role of a goddess in the form of a wolf as she desperately tries to destroy the darkness that threatens existence. Combining RPG and free roaming elements, Okami is best described as a work of art in motion, and definitely stands out as one of the best PS2 games.

Devil May Cry – Another hack and slash, feature a demon hunter known as Dante. Your quest will take you to an ancient castle where monsters are running rampant. Using your legendary sword and twin guns, you must send these demonic beings back where they came from, and find out just what has released them in the first place.

These are just a handful of the best PS2 games. There are dozens, possibly hundreds more titles that could be included on this list, but when it comes down to it every individual gamer will have different opinions of what the best PS2 games are. If you don’t see a title on this list that fits your style, try others. You’re sure to find a game that you enjoy above all others.

Best Wii Games

Posted on May 13, 2012 by Jamielim18

The Wii is Nintendo’s current home console, featuring the ‘Wii-mote’ instead of the classic, standard controller. The system was built around the concept of motion control, and this is the manner in which most of the games on the Wii will be played. The Wii offers an abundance of great titles, many featuring Nintendo’s mascot characters like Link and Mario for the die-hard fans. Here is a short list of some of the best Wii games available to you.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess – The Wii’s first Zelda entry, Twilight Princess puts you once again into the familiar brown boots of Hyrules savior, Link. Traversing the massive and mysterious kingdom in order to vanquish a dark race of monsters known as the ‘Twili’. The catch, this time Link is transformed into a wolf form, and must team up with the imp ‘Midna’ in order to restore his body and return Hyrule to a peaceful state once again.

Metroid Prime 3 – This is the last game in the Prime trilogy of Metroid games. Playing as the bounty hunter, Samus Aran, as she travels through intergalactic space to find the source of a corruptive substance known as Phazon. You’ll travel to multiple planets along your journey, each with their own unique environments and enemies. Collecting powerups and items is essential in this game, as the enemies become progressively tougher and tougher right up till the final confrontation.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword – The second entry of the Zelda series on the Wii, Skyward Sword takes place right at the beginning of the Zelda timeline. Take control of Link for the very first time as he discovers his destiny and true potential as the hero of time. Traveling from the magical world in the sky, known as Skyloft, Link will travel down to the dark and monster-ravaged kingdom on the surface to battle bosses and conquer temples. While not the same style as many of the Zelda games before it, Skyward Sword is still an impressive entry into the series and definitely stands as one of the best Wii games.

Super Mario Galaxy – The familiar plumber in blue overalls is back, and this time he’s taken to the stars. Leave the Earth behind as Mario chases Bowser into space and tries to bring back Princess Peach safe and sound. You’re not in the Mushroom Kingdom anymore; the levels in this Mario game consist of different galaxies and planets you can travel to. Interacting with friendly aliens, avoiding disastrous black holes, and fighting massive bosses, this is definitely a great Mario game to own.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl – The third entry in the popular fighting game, Super Smash Bros. Choose between dozens of your favorite Nintendo characters as they duke it out to find out who is the strongest once and for all. Featuring a lengthy story mode, which will help you unlock even more characters and stages for use, this game is packed full of content that any die-hard Nintendo fan will enjoy. A trophy, biographies, fun gameplay, this game literally has it all. An absolute must have for your Wii collection.

Cricket Season is Underway

Posted on April 26, 2012 by SportsTicketStore

The domestic cricket season is underway which means it won’t be long until the one day internationals, twenty20 and test matches begin. England are still the world number 1 test playing nation but only just held on to that title during a very disappointing winter. They traveled to the UAE in January to play a three test series against Pakistan but were completely bamboozled by the spin bowling of Saeed Ajmal and lost all three tests. Thankfully they got to grips with the Pakistan bowlers by the time the one day internationals started and managed to exact revenge by winning the series 4-0 with captain Alistair Cook scoring a century in the first two games and Kevin Pietersen hitting hundreds in the third and fourth. Stuart Broad led the Twenty20 side into action and although they lost the first match by eight runs they battled back to win the series 2-1.

The squad then headed to Sri Lanka for a mini two test series but it got off to a bad start as the spin demons undid England once again with Herath ripping through their batting line up twice, taking six wickets in each innings as Sri Lanka won by 75 runs. A brilliant 151 from Kevin Pietersen in Colombo saw England record a fairly comfortable 8 wicket victory that not only leveled the series but kept them number 1 test team in the world.

The England team has a very tough and busy summer ahead as South Africa, Australia and the West Indies all visit to play test, one day and twenty20 cricket matches and you can see them all live when you buy cricket tickets through the sportsticketstore. It all begins on the 17th May when the West Indies start the three test match series at Lords followed by games at Trent Bridge (beginning 25th May) and Edgbaston (starting 7th June). The big test series begins on 19th July at The Kia Oval when the very strong South Africans begin what should be a fantastic three test series. Headingley hosts the second test on 2nd August and Lord’s the last on 16th August.

There is also a very busy Natwest ODI schedule with three games against West Indies, five against the Australians and two versus the South Africans plus four Twenty20 games giving you every opportunity to see some live cricket matches this summer.

It promises to be an exciting but tough year for the England team but one they are more than capable of coming through and maintaining their number one test status. Browse the www.sportsticketstore.co.uk and compare prices from the UK’s leading retailers on a large selection of England cricket tickets and sample the electric atmosphere of a live cricket match.
