Scratch

Demo of the week:
Euro Truck Simulator 2
Demo available from Steam

Though it seems like an ordinary simulator, it is much more. You can actually enjoy driving around Europe, trying not to crash mainly, and getting money. You build up your empire of truckers and become Europe's leading haulage company! You can listen to radio stations or your own music, which is a nice touch.

The demo includes a lot of the features of the full game, but has a few missions to select. You can decide to mess around and not do anything as well.

It is good to play, especially if you don't feel you will play it enough to buy the full game.

Mega man 2 review:

After the first game took a hit, Capcom decided to make the next game, Mega Man 2. The game had some minor changes to this game, such as having 8 robot masters instead of 6, and removing the points score as it was not necessary. I also thought that the game had more of a challenge, such as Quick Man's stage, where you had to fall to the very bottom of the level while avoiding light beams(or what ever they are) then battling the boss himself, who has a lot of speed and constantly jumps. Also in Air Man's stage, you must jump across platforms that have spikes coming out of them, then a enemy waiting at the end of each platform. When you get to the boss, Air Man hurls small tornados at you, and if you are not prepared, you will die pretty fast.


For a NES game, the game has improved graphics and sound, making the gameplay experience a lot better for players. Although the difficulty can get intense at times, it is a great game, worth playing.

9/10

I already done this game,  but becuase we don't have much this week I'll put it in anyway.

Okay, lets start getting ready for next week. I need Rik408 and YMIBANWAH to be more active and submit articles/reviews. If I don't get one this week, you will be taken off the active members list until you do.

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two Review

Epic Mickey 2 brings you through a second jouny in Wasteland, a world of Disney's forgotten creations from over 80 years in the past. Now let's start with controls... the controls are all comfortable, all but spraying paint and thinner. To spray paint or thinner, you must hold ZR or ZL and move the right control stick. It is very hard to aim. The art and graphics are pretty good... just like in the first game but HD. The art is pretty good but a little poor quality. Like if you're zooming in on a bush, you can tell that the art might have been enlarged a bit. Now the big dent... the 2nd player AI. In the game, there is drop in, drop out co-op. When the 2nd player is AI controlled, he doesn't always do what you want him to do. He will run around you while you're standing still and play "ring-a-round a rosie" when you're running. The only good part about the AI is that you don't have to control the pannels. (he can control stuff with his remote) This could be a bad thing if you're not lazy. Now about directions... it's hard to know what the heck you're supposed to do sometimes. You could be sitting there fighting a boss for over an hour. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm not too good at it or what. Voice acting and musical numbers is the best part of the game to me. The songs are well writtend as well as the diolauge which suits the characters very well. If you didn't know, Oswald never talked in anything before this. He is voiced by Frank Welker and it for sure suits the character's personalities.

Although this game has it's problems and such... it's a good game really. If you liked the first one, this is the game for you.

Overall rating:
7.5/10.0

Have you been let on the forums now? Cool! I'll have that for next issue.

Cool, your in. What do you want to review first.

I can only post every couple issues for my own personal reasons. Did anyone do a review for Trine 2: Director's Cut yet?

I'm not the best at reviewing, but can I write about:

The PS4 event
Destiny, Bungie's new game
And a preview of The Last Of Us?

I'm already doing the Playstation event ;D

I think every couple of issues is fine, and no one has done Trine 2 yet.

Someone else can write this but I've got a story for you. Angry Birds is coming to Wii and Wii U. SOURCE: http://wiiudaily.com/2013/02/angry-bird … this-year/
