Duke Nukem Forever, well what can we say, here at the Supa Swap office we found this one a real dissapointment to play and will not be rushing out to buy this one. Thats not to say you will not like this one, but I will have to rate this one 1/10.

The Best Points

It is funny to be able to shrink your enemies and Stomp on them! that is the highlight of this game.

The Bad Points

Where do I start? Long, this game seems to go on and on but not in a good way, the scenes are very boring even in the driving sections this game does not seem to perform the way it should. When you shoot the enemy there is a lack of impact, as if the game lacks excitement which makes it actually funny to play. Each level is short and empty of things to do and search for and the loading between games are too long, which I cant understand why when the levels are so simple.

This is suppose to be an exciting Sci-Fi shooting game but really it is an embarrassment to the gaming world. It is as if these levels were just thrown together in an attempt to release as quick as possible.


If you are a fan then we apologise, but this one really did not do it for us here at Supa Swap.

The First Templar, by Supa Swap.

The Holy Grail is such a sacred object that many films and games are based around the supposed powers it holds. The First Templar does just that and takes you into this action packed exciting game using the unimaginable delights and powers that is promised to us all by The Holy Grail.

The Knights Templar are the sworn protectors of this ancient prize, but they too are put into temptation like every other human being, and you  find yourself in the middle of a battle over who will hold this sacred object. This game is full of twists and goals to achieve along the way with its pleasing graphics and action packed levels truly keep you wanting more as you make your way through this 13th Century journey.

The First Templar is truly amazing, always throwing new directions and objects in your path, the game can be very long but time certainly does not stand still in this magical adventure.

Some downsides are that some of the collisions are a little basic and some levels lack in objects to collect and use. On the plus side the characters are very well developed with thought put into every detail, even down to the comments they sometimes come out with. Full of alternate routes and caves to keep you occupied for hours and truly excellent battle moves.

This scores high in the Supa Swap rating of 9/10 for its pure adventure adrenaline. This game is worth the time if you are looking for a completely different adventure.

Lara Croft is back acording to Simon Bramble, the writer of Lara Croft.

 

Here at Supa Swap we discover that the latest of the Tomb Raider games is to be released this month and it is called "Searching For Lara Croft"  but where has she been all this time?

The first series of the Tomb Raider games were very popular in the late 90's but became dated when a few better rivals were released, with the likes of Spiderman and Transformers taking front row, giving this amateur game a very dated look.

New Design

The latest Tomb Raider has come back with a bang! The graphics are second to none and the storyline is much more life like than the basic first edition. Lara will take a whole new direction in this amazing adventure, with endless new toys and the journey will just keep you wanting more whilst keeping most of the favourite elements from the former game which gave this it a very special feel.

Same Lara Croft

Lara Croft is the same character we all grew to love and respect, only this time she is much more grown up and sharper in her apearence. Lara gives a whole new edge to this adventure, almost like she acts like she has more experience to deal with situations and trials thrown in her way. This adventure beats the former game hands down, making this one a 9/10 on the Supa Swap game rating.

 

Transformers, Dark Of The Moon is in theory and according to the film suppose to be out of this world, but whether they have tried too hard to make this a big hit or simply not bothered at all, Supa Swap feel this one is lacking in something.

 

The Good

This one is packed with fighting and watching enemies fly can be fun, all of the Transformers have their own unique abilities and strengths.

The Bad

Very dated graphics and visual content, like as if it was made in the 80's. Short scenes,some of the Transformers are a bit simple how they change from a vehicle to a robot as if they ran out of ideas.

The Ugly

Every time there is a new Transformer movie there has to be a new Transformer game, the trouble is that where as in the film a lot can be changed, different characters and actors to different towns and even countries that in the game version there is not much that can be changed apart from improving in graphic and character quality.

"Dark of the moon" seems to  lack in both of these which is a shame considering how much money is put into delivering one of the most advanced films or our time.

Overall

Transformers did not do it for us here at Supa Swap therefore rating this a 3/10.
Sorry to all you Transformers fans.

The original Playstation  was released in 1994, and  Sony said that it will last for 10 years the Playstation 2 was released in 2000, but even though Sony said once again it will last for 10 years in 2006 the Playstation 3 was born.

Playstation 4

When you look at the trends of releases, can the PS4 be just around the corner? Will it be next year?

Supa Swap are not certain and so many rumours are going around the net it is difficult to know who to believe.

One thing we know for sure is that is will be released as a PS4 video was leaked onto the net.

Nobody is sure what it will look like but we are sure it will be futuristic looking.

We know that it will have a combination of shock and motion controlers, 3D gaming and second to none HD graphics so it will be like a film.

The game play is said to be "Awesome" almost like you are in the game yourself, but this will come at a very high price tag and allowing people to pre order them and sell them back for twice the price, so get yours ordered early.

Playstation 3

The other upside to the release of the PS4 will be the huge price drop in the PS3, speculations saying that the PS3 will be at least half  price. Great news for all you PS2 users, and remember to keep a watch on www.supaswap.com if the PS3 console comes up at a bargain price second hand.

PlayStation 3 owners are about to get yet another option when it comes to online entertainment and Supa Swap think its totally amazing!

As of November 23, the Vudu pay-per-view movie service will arrive on Sony's gaming console with an updated user interface.

Vudu offers more than 4,000 HD movies for rental and purchase, and the PS3 will offer Vudu's optimal 1080p HD resolution and 5.1 surround sound on supported titles.

To sweeten the deal, Vudu will be offering new customers a $5.99 credit--effectively giving users a free movie to try out the service, Supa Swap will totally be getting Vudu!
