I figured that in all my spare time I would review not only console games , but also I-Pad games. [ I would do android apps too if any one wants to contribute an android tablet] . Zombie Burbz is the lucky first contestant I chose. At first glance the game really does not look like much. Average game play average graphics the game is free...... wait the game is free? Yes the game is FREE so you down load it and Shit you have to have the little figures to play the game. so for ten buck-a-roos i got me a sent of zombie figures. I thought they would be fun to look at if nothing else. in each set you get one game piece and three figures to look at.
As you can see I got this hot babe in a smart red swimming suit, a mail zombie, a zombie dog and a middle age zombie in a yellow shirt. It is the last little zombie that is our game piece. So off comes his little protective ring to, ..... well protect his base. Once the game is fired up you will find crates locked up you must find the crate with his face on it to unlock that level. Once unlocked you find that you get 16 levels for you 10 dollars. First strike. The game is played by placing the zombie game piece on the screen. Press an arrgh button or a blech button will send out your attacks to kill the on coming hordes in a plants vrs zombies esq fashion. The game play is nothing special. Strike 2 . As you play the game the onscreen counter part to you player figure will disconnect and and leave you with a shitty game play Stike three and it out.
With the problems unimaginative game play added to the 10 cost for each set of zombies I not going to bother buying the other sets. I would strongly suggest you avoid this title too.

This one will be a quick one not even a full review of sorts. Let me start out by saying that I love Lego games I have bought and beaten most of them got 100% on most too. So when I heard that the LOTR was on its way I was pleased to say the least. But as I began to play it my joy slowly ebbed away. poor controls and glitches are abound in this game. Travelers tales usually hits a home run with there games leave my to wonder WTF. I sit poised to grasped yet another 100% and cannot not because of my ability but because of the games glitches not letting me bet the last mythril blocks I need. Most people would say who cares but I want my 100% damn it. I have gone as far as contacting the company to see wth is going on to get a e-mail back saying they are look into it and working on a patch. I should not complain but it raises the old question of why don't these people beta test more??
Being late to every party seems to be a trend with me. Showing up this late for the PSP party is not a shock. However I do know that there are others like me that enjoy buying systems late because you can but the games fer really freaking cheap. Silent Hill Shattered Memories is not only cheap it is also a game series that I love so a double win. How ever once the game is started the win is not so great. One of the great aspects of the Silent Hill franchise is beating the snot out creepy crawlies. And that is the big change with this title. No fighting at all. When the monsters come out to play you run away. I cannot believe that we have been reduced to little running babies like this. All is not lost the protagonist of the game has a smart phone that he carries around. This smart phone has his map all messages that are give to you . If any phone numbers are found you can call them and some puzzles require you to make these calls. The camera feature of the smart phone reveals things that cannot be seen with the naked eye. The options save feature and logs ( calls made photos taken ) are also found on this smart phone. Where all the new features so not hit it out of the park the interactions with certain objects most certainly does. Object that have a small white arrow pointing at them can be interacted with. When you look closely at them a small hand appears on the screen. This hand can grab object and twist off lids, turn things over and manipulate them in a plethora of ways. This opens the doors to man new ways to challenge the players intellect with puzzles. The puzzles themselves in the game are neither tough nor easy just kind of in the middle. The Story of the game leaves a lot to be desired. As the game is played it seems that the story is handed out is small fragmented chunks leaving me wondering what the hell happened. Since I am bitching let me add this what the hell is going on with the monsters in this version that look like Disney took the reigns on this one. I know this is a hand held but the psp has the same power as the PSX so What the hell is this crap. So all in all why should you play this game? Honestly the only reason that I can give s if your a huge fan of the franchise other than that????? Run RUN AWAY.
