Video Game Review Thread!

Ok, so here you can write reviews about games, read reviews about games, talk about gaming consoles, link to cool computer games, talk about games, and more. One game that I've been playing a lot is Viva Pinata. It is a fun game where you garden, buy stuff, tame pinatas, and more.

So, Discuss

Re: Video Game Review Thread!

I've been playing the Ocarina of Time remake.
It's pretty good gameplay, although I liked Twilight Princess's better. The graphics are amazing and the cutscenes are well animated, especially in 3D. The storyline is great, and I especially love how you can speed through the night/day by playing your ocarina. The only real problem I have with it is traveling long distances with Young Link. With no Epona at your side, it's hard to get around quickly.
All in all, I rate it an 8/10.

Sorry if that was long.  tongue

Trackmania: Unlimited Review

Platform: PC
Rating: 92%

Trackmania is always a fun series, from the start you could create crazy tracks and drive to your heart's content. In fact, Trackmania's track editor was probably the first I ever tried. This time, there are some revamped graphics which look awesome on even my old Vista computer. The music fits the different areas well and there seems no barrier to your creativity when making a track (other than the fact that you can only build in a suitable area). The premade tracks are all different in their own way. Each of the three modes has up to 75 tracks each! That's around 24 hours of gameplay. The customization though is limited to changing the colour of your car - and it's quite hard to find.

The editor has hundreds of options to choose from and you can build in any of the 8 areas, each with their own track options. You could build the tracks for a Trackmania tour or just create an expansive track that goes in the air to underground, which reminds me. You can build underground and it's absolutely no hassle! You can create twirling tunnels or a twisting underground path through a mountain. The possibilites are endless. However, we get to the bad things. The physics are fun and bouncy but they do get quite annoying and unrealistic at some parts in the preset tracks, plus as I said before, Need For Speed-customization would be great and the option should be easier to find.

Great game, as long as you don't mind bouncing around the place and preset designs for cars.

Sounds like a pretty cool game, I'll have to try it out.
