Game Previews-Assassin’s Creed, Dragon Blade:Wrath of Fire, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2
Assassin’s Creed-One of the most hyped games at both last year’s and
this years E3 was Assassin’s Creed. Fortunately, we received a demo at this past year’s E3, and it showed it off like a model on the runway. You play as Altair, a trained Assassin doing various tasks in the year 1191 during the Crusades. The storyline looks like something out of a deep, deep movie, and the main character looks engaging. This game kinda reminds me of Splinter Cell with its deep gameplay. You’ll be manuevering you
r way through huge, interactive crowds, trying to get to your goalpoint, and, if need be, cause some distractions like, say, pushing a guard off a building to dstract the guards. There are several ways to get through a crowd, although most of the time you’ll probably be wanting to make the least noise and ruckus. Look forward to this ne when it comes out on the PS3, 360, and PC this November.
Dragon Blade:Wrath of Fire-I remember I previewed this game a couple of weeks ago, just basically as a first glimpse and I just got to look at some concept art, but now we have more, much more! In this game you’ll play as a hero on a quest to take down a king who has taken over your land, and along the way you will gain 6 different dragon powers-wings, one/two-arm swinging, and more including your basic fire sword. Swinging the Wiimote to swing your sword, and the with hte two-arm thing actually
using your respective hands to clap, or slam your enemies. The game has a very unique art style , kinda like older Asian. The boss battles have proven to be long and epic, something I am definitely looking forward to. This game really kinda reminds me of something like Heavenly Sword meets Lair. Overall, all Wiiowners should at least check out this game when it comes out later this year.Â
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2-The bunnies are coming! The bunnies are coming! Rayman Raving Rabbids 1 was one of the most fun and funny games I’ve ever played, and I am definitely looking forward to this next one. This time the bunnies are trying to take over the world, and thus they’re trying to be accepted by us humans by dressing up like pop culture icons like Harry Potter, Jack Sparrow, and more. This time Ubisoft wanted to put more emphasis on multiplayer, so they put in 60 new minigames, and for multiplayer, a Bunny customization mode. Yea. The fun never stops. There will be all kinds of new minigames, including football, swimming, a Rock Band knockoff, and more. I’ll make sure I pick this one up when it comes out on the Wii and DS on November 15, 2007. This game is so special that it deserves a picture avalanche!

Come on James, you can’t tell me you’re not excited about customizing your own bunny and hitting it in the head with a shovel and making it create its own band!
You can’t tell me your not excited about clapping your enemies with your own hands!
You can’t tell me your not excited about that, Super Mario Galaxy (2 Player), Brawl (You can play with the Wiimote/Nunchuk, VC Controller, or Gamecube controller), or Mariokart (Wheel!)!
