High Velocity Bowling Reveiw

Review incoming for High Velocity Bowling!!!! First thoughts, very good!

Review: High Velocity Bowling is a very well done bowling simulator. The highest score I ever got in real bowling was a 153 and in this game my highest I got was a 158. I'm not much of a good bowler so the game is a bit tough, not much tougher than regular bowling. High Velocity Bowling uses the Sixaxis to move your guy and through the ball etc... You hold the controller vertically placing your index finger and middle finger in between R1 and L1, and with your thumb in between the analog sticks. You tilt the Sixaxis right or left to move your guy, then you press X to keep him there, next you will see an arrow showing what angle you want, then press X to keep that angle, finally you pull the controller back and swing it forward to through the ball. Just like a real bowling. This game is one of the first, if not the first to support in game soundtracks. you just press select and you can access all of the music on your Playstation 3. High Velocity Bowling can output a resolution of 1080p and as far as I can tell has no multiplayer, it has leader boards which is nice to have. High Velocity Bowling is $10. For $10 you would think there would at least be splitscreen multiplayer but there isn't. They have mny characters to unlock some of them are very annoying, like Berry who always says "Hurry up I gotta pick up the mini-van from the shop" well thats great I really don't care. while there is 4 modes ( Practice, Head 2 Head, Tournament, and Trick Shots). By completing theses you unlock Characters, Bowling balls, and cloths. The game is very good even though its missing multiplayer and your custom soundtrack music isn't very loud, its still a solid BUY.

Will you feel the the Pain? (Review)

Last Thursday I bought a couple things from the Playstation Store. One of them being PAiN. PAiN is basically Burnouts Crash Mode where you have to cause as much damage as possible, except with a person. The game costs $10 and comes with 1 level and two playable characters, one is a guy named Jarvis with 3 costumes, "Regular", "Gangster", and "Hippie". PAiN uses the HAVOK physics engine for realistic rag doll and environment physics. Also the game supports DualShock 3, so you can experience PAiN in its full glory. The game gets kinda boring luckily the multiplayer and heavy downloadable content support keeps the game fresh. PAiN has two downloadable characters right off the bat a Santa Clause and a sexy Elf (?) type lady. Both are $1 which isn't bad but makes you wonder why they couldn't include them with the game. I would buy the game again since Idol Minds (developer) says to expect downloadable content monthly.
8/10

Fall Update! Be Easy....

Tomorrow the Xbox Live fall update goes live, you should be able to get it at 3:00a.m. est. The update doesnt really do to much except for enable DivX support, make the Dashboard/Guide (2x) faster and allow people under 18 to use Windows Live Messenger, and allows your friends to see your other friends. You can see the full list at xbox.com. Now a few reminders; make sure your not playing an online game around 3:00am est or you'll get kicked off and be asked to update. Another this is the update may not go live right away or you might have problems connecting to Live. If anything we've learned from past updates is they don't (always) go as planed. So chill out and everything will work its self out!
