Warp Trailer

Warp is the first of the XBLA House Party games and looks like it can get the party off to a good start

Warp hits the XBLA February 15

With all the recent hacking and cheating that has been happening through Fifa 12 EA has been forced into banning yet more Fifa 12 accounts, specifically 2000+ plus. EA have started to become more pro-active in their security after months of problems on Fifa 12 that have gone unpunished, it started a couple of months back where someone from EA said that they had taken notice and where going to do something about it.

This particular bout of hacking in centred on hacking your virtual pro (which essentially is the character you create in Fifa 12) the result of the hacking would mean that your character would have maxed out stats instantly and would offer a huge advantage online but would severely punish people who played the game normally and fairly.

It will come has a huge relief for online players of this game, I don't play this game online but I can still respect how big of a problem this is, and I know there has been an outcry for EA to start doing something about it and it looks like they have obliged, a post on the EA said that, “We’re acutely aware of the damage cheats can do to the rest of the fair-playing Clubs community. For that reason, we spent a lot of time addressing the issue for FIFA 12. It’s disappointing that it has now re-emerged, but an additional function we included in the game was the means to automatically identify and report anyone using such methods. That system has identified those now banned, and will identify anyone who does so from now on. We urge any Clubs players who might be tempted to cheat to think again – the result will be the same.”

It has also been hinted that EA don't plan to stop banning so all you cheaters out there expect your days of having a active Fifa 12 account to be numbered.

X-Men Destiny Mini Review

X-Men Destiny is one of them low budget games that comes out under the radar and has almost no marketing, I only stumbled across this game because it was on my LoveFilm list from last year, so as you would expect I didn't hold much hope for this game, but as always I gave it a chance, and I was pleasantly surprised.

I'm not trying to kid everyone here, this game does have its problems and is in no way an excellent game but I think that it has something to offer on a basic level. I am a massive Marvel fan therefore I play all these Marvel releases and admittedly some of them are god awful, Thor springs to mind, but every now and then there is a little gem of a game that no one will here about but has good things to offer, such as the Captain America game, and this is one of them games.

The brightness of the colour pallet is a welcome change

The amount of cameos in this game is definite fan service to any fan of superheroes, you have the big names like Wolverine but you also have less iconic heroes such as Nightcrawler or my person favourite Gambit. The RPG elements to the game are simply but still add extra depth to the game. There are many problems with this game, the repetitive combat for a start and the shortness of the game but if you are the sort of gamer that can appreciate pure fun then you will be able to get some enjoyment out if this little title, I would compare this to Dead Island, that game had so many problems but the core elements of the game where fun and you enjoyed playing it for reasons not obviously clear and this game is very much the same, I'm not saying buy this game but as a rental it will give you a quick blast of superhero fun

6.4/10 Buy or Rent .... Rent
