Facebreaker features multiple colorful characters, such as a beastly Russian called Molotov and Romeo an interesting with a…..bulge. These characters and many others seperate Facebreaker from EA’s other big boxing title Fight Night. 

One of the really quirky and humorous elements of the game is the damage dealt by punches and its effects on your opponent. All real world physics are completely ignored. Maces become hugely bloated, heads spin completely around, and jaws hang dramatically low.

    Quite frankly, Facebreaker looks great. It may not be Punch Out, but its the closest thing we are getting. EA seems determined to make this both a unique and exciting game, that will cross the legendary sport of boxing with the humor of some of the best cartoons. It will be arriving on store shelves in less than two months for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii consoles.

PS3 was a distant third after leading Xbox 360 sales for the first two months this year. Sony PSP sold 297000 units while PS3 sold 257000 units and PS2 sold 216000 units. The PS3 has had a year over year growth of sales of over 98%.Xbox360 finally pulled ahead of PS3 and sold 262000 units. Xbox 360 lagged in terms of sales in the month of January and February against Sony’s PS3 due to supplies problem and with the March sales figure out it looks like the supplies of the retailer is finally being satisfied fully.

Analyst predicts that the sales of PS3 and Xbox360 for the rest of the year would be neck to neck because of the launch of many “exclusive titles” for both the consoles.

The console version was launched last month and has already sold 2 million copies worldwide. The old game followed a story of Las Vegas being captured by terrorists and this one follows on similar lines.

Here are the most violent games of all time!

5. Custer’s Revenge

Platform – Atari 2600

This game is a very unique one. It is one of the oldest game to give on-screen nudity a try. This game uses rape as its gameplay. Quite Violent I will say! Parents should make sure their children stay away from these kinds of games.

4. Night Trap

Platform – PC/Mac/3DO/DS

Night Trap caused controversy in US and Australia primarily. It’s a horror movie copy – a house, girls clad in revealing dress and a group of killers that only you can defeat. Surprisingly the PC and 3DO version did not have any such controversy

3. Carmageddon

Platform - PC

In this racing game you had two ways to win a race. Just reach the finish line or be the first one to kill all the pedestrians on the street. The OFLC passed this game as a “MA15+” rating still the highest for any game!

2. Third Kill

Platform – PS1

It’s totally different when a Government bans a game and when a publisher bans a game. That was the fate of this four player playstation 1 game which was banned by EA saying that this game is “senselessly violent”.

1. Manhunt

Platform – PC

The manufacture of GTA series, Rockstar produced this game which shows the dark side of them. This game was initially passed by OFLC in October 2003 but later on due to government pressure it was refused classification in September 2004

8. Assassin’s Creed
Platform-X360/PS3

Dana Jongewaard of GameTap says “So is Assassin’s Creed as awesome as I wanted it to be? No. But it’s a game that attempts a lot of major development moves and it shows a lot of promise, even if it isn’t always executed well.”
7. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl
Platform- Nintendo DS
Jeremy Parish of 1Up says “Look beyond the cheaply-made anime and the overblown collectible tie-ins, though, and you’ll find that the foundation upon which the whole endeavor has been constructed is an enjoyable and often addictive RPG with a fantastic social element.”
6. Need For Speed:Pro Street
Platform - PS2/PS3/PSP/X360/Wii/DS/PC
Steve Hogarty of CVG- “Sure, there are far worse driving games than this one, but in terms of the Need For Speed series, this is a dud note.”
5. Madden NFL 08
Platform - PS2/PS3/PSP/X360/Wii/GC/DS/PC/XBX

Richard Grisham of GamesRadar says “It may be the only NFL choice once again this season for the PS2, but at least it does the Madden name justice with its smooth play, wide range of features old and new, ridiculously in-depth franchise options, and online games.”

4. FIFA Soccer 08

Platform - PS2/PS3/PSP/X360/Wii/DS/PC
Dan Leahy of GameSpy says“Looks, as they say, aren’t everything and FIFA 08 on the PS2 demonstrates this perfectly. Spot-on control, great atmosphere, more features than ever and balanced gameplay should send this one to the back of any soccer fan’s net.”
3. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
Platform - PS2/PS3/X360/Wii/PC

Justin Leeper of GamesRadar says “Guitar Hero is still the best of the best when it comes to music and party games.”
2. Halo 3
Platform - X360 Exclusive

Gus Mastrapa of The Onion A.V. Club says “Nobody does this kind of online gaming better. The sheer variety of play offered out of the box is staggering.”

1. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Platform – Nintendo DS/X360/PS3/PC

Steve Hogarty of CVG says “…Call of Duty 4 expands on the series mightily. Its Middle Eastern and Russian locales, while still linear, feel far more open than the ruined streets of Occupied France ever were, and every mission contains at least one sweet chunk of surprise and delight.”

The CEO of Epic games, Tim Sweeny has revealed that a small team of developers has already started working on the Unreal Engine 4 and that it will be more focussed for the Console platform and will not be just tied to the PC platform. The Unreal Engine 4 won’t be exclusively for Consoles only though, a PC version will be there as well.
This may be good news for Console owners after the troublesome Unreal 3 Engine for PS3 but it will all depend on how quickly the Unreal 4 Engine can be optimized for future consoles which are likely to be quite different from each other. No Doubt that Valve and Blizzard make the PC gaming platform unique but consoles are looking quite hard to be stopped with their online gaming and high resolution capabilities

What needs to stay:

• Basic “gods and goddesses” world
• Main character Pit
• Cool creatures
• Awesome Music

What needs to change:

• Horrible exploration
• Sloppy movement
• Cheesy dialog

What needs to be added:

• Better exploration
• The new, updated Pit
• Epic boss battles

With these changes, a new Kid Icarus game could prove to be a great new franchise for Nintendo. Imagine the cool environments and Greek Pantheon storyline, but with a child like quality that only Nintendo could supply. Now is the perfect time for this game, both with Pit’s first role in years and with the popularity of “swords and sandals” epics. Add some awesome Wii remote flight controls, and voila! A winning combination to be sure.

For the curious, here’s a look at the original Kid Icarus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSfS9w9_0kg

And here’s a look at Pit in Super Smash Bros. Brawl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EoJhfmVPZk

Sonic is prolly the Worlds most loved(and only 1) Game Hedgehog Character. We’ve played the game since we were kids and enjoyed everybit of it ! There hasn’t been any recent release of a game based on him. But now it seems that SEGA’s working on a new Sonic game titled “Sonic Unleashed“.

Some leaked ScreenShots surfaced some days back. You can check them here : sonicstadium.org

And now even a supposedly leaked Video appeared on YouTube ! Check the Video Below :

THE GOOD:

• Blades of Steel- The classic hockey game that established hockey as a sport well fit for video game treatment. This game is still a blast to play, and remains one of the best sports games for the NES.
• Adventure Island- An excellent example of why old school sidescrollers ruled in the early days of gaming. This game features colorful environments and a cool protagonist called Master Higgins.
• Super Mario Bros. 2- Often ridiculed for being too far different from its popular predecessor, this game really isn’t a bad game. It just suffers from too many changes in formula.
• Donkey Kong- The arcade classic that so many lost their change to.
• Super Mario Bros. and SMB: Lost Levels- The original and its Japan only predecessor, both of which are well worth playing.

THE BAD:

• Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link- While Super Mario Bros. 2 doesn’t quite deserve all of the flack it gets, this game does. A true disappointment if you enjoyed the first.
• Zanac- The gameplay is very dated, as is the horrible Engrish text.
• Castlevania 2: Simon’s Quest- A terrible sequel to the awesome original.

THE MUST HAVE:

• The Legend of Zelda- The incredible original Zelda title that launched one of the best series of all time.
• Super Mario Bros. 3- Quite possibly the best Mario game ever.
• Metroid- Incredible environments (for the time) and awesome gameplay.
• Kirby’s Adventure- An excellent platformer starring Kirby.
• Punch Out!!!- The awesome boxing game featuring protagonist Little Mac against a cadre of goofy bosses.
