LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4

Finally it's here, LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, and as all the lego games, they work out of the box for the logitech rumblepad 2 and dual action game pads. And just as the others this will be a enjoyment to complete, it's a great game for your kids, and it supports multi-player as well. The LEGO series are always A++ and a solid buy if you enjoyed one of these...

Off to enjoy this amazing game...

Tales of Monkey Island - Collectors Edition

Since I played the first two episodes, I decided to wait for the rest and play the full game when It came out, I forgot it a bit, but now I finally picked it up, since nothing else have been released lately that would be of interest, and anything worth playing I've already completed by now... This game is sure worth a go.

You can use "xpadder" to map your mouse to your controller, suitable for this game is to use the right stick and R1 to click with.

If you manage to get completely stuck (sometime the logic is just a bit strange), check out :

ok, off to enjoy the great story.

The Whispered World

This is an adventure game, point and click, xpadder will do the trick for you as there is no native pad support. with xpadder you can map your mouse to your game pad, it works great with the Logitech Rumblepad 2, and Dual Action Game Pad.

This is quite a good game, it's a bit trick so a Walkthrough is a great help, I got stuck a few times, and it managed to keep my interest with some of the tricky bits to solve.

Enjoy this great and cute adventure.

Prison Break: The Conspiracy

Since I've always been a big fan of the series, watched them all since I heard about the first season. I'll probably enjoy this game more than the average gamer would do.

I was easy enough to get the logitech rumblepad 2 working using the x360ce vibmod 3.1.4.0 emulation.

Just put the files :

x360ce.ini
xinput1_3.dll

in folder :

\Program Files\Deep Silver\Prison Break

And off you go on an adventure exploring fox river. Edit: after completing this game, it might not be as exiting for all us who already watched the tv series, as this game pretty much follows the first season. And there is not much surprises, I think I might have enjoyed it more, if I did not know the story. It'll take you about 6-8 hours to complete. Mostly walking around hiding from guards, picking up stuff. I think picking it up on sale would be good...

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

Another release that I will play whenever I get it going. After two minutes of messing around, I gave up on this quite crappy game, It works with the emulation files copied into the game directory, but the game itself is just pure garbage. It's a bit sad on good animation titles, getting this kind of reputation. I like some of these games, like "mosters vs aliens", "bolt" & even "up" was quite nice.

Mini Ninjas

Another awaited title this week is mini ninjas, as I am a bit fan of the adventure platform type of games, and since it's being delivered by eidos, I got high hopes on this title, let's hope it wont disapoint, will get back with more info as soon I get a chance to test this one out.

I'm sure it will work fine with the xbox 360 emulation.

We'll it sure did disapoint, now way to get the xbox360 joypad emulation to work, and keymapping sux. looks like a good game, but can't play it, I'll return this asap. But before I got a chance to return it, I got this :

1. Find out the name of your gamepad in the control panel (Game Controllers), for me it was "Logitech RumblePad 2 USB".
2. Open Regedit, hit CTRL-F and type the name of your gamepad. It should find something like :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_046D&PID_C218
OEMName REG_SZ Logitech RumblePad 2 USB

3. Select Modify and enter "XBOX 360 Controller for Windows" (without the ").

4. Download and Install the files :

http://rapidshare.com/files/249164419/xinputemu3.0.zip

Program Files\Eidos\Mini Ninjas

xbox360cemu.ini
xinput1_3.dll
xinput9_1_0.dll
XInputTest.exe

5. The game should work now.

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition

Never had played this in the past, and just having completed the first chapter of the newer "Tales of Monkey Island", I must say, even if the graphics looks ok on my HD (1360 x 768). It's still not what games today are supposed to look like, I would love a good remake, but hey, make it 100% 3D, just like "Tales of Monkey Island". If it's such a good story, it needs to be told by todays standards, not yesterdays. Todays games wont spend time on these type of try to make more money on a old game without giving it a complete makeover. Give us some value for the money, any old game that got a great story can be re-made up to todays standards, and sell great. Remember there is a new audience out there who are used to a certain way that games looks today. They will be very dissapointed when they see this, hell even I was, and I used to be amazed by these type of adventures. I'll give it 3 out of 10.

I would love to see and play it when they get it redone with todays standards.

Prince of Persia

I'm yet to test this game out, it's been stuck on my shelf for a while now.

Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed is a pure pleasure to play, it's one of these really rare gems that just have to be played over and over.

It's fully supporting the logitech rumblepad 2.

Don't miss this game.

Silent Hill Homecoming

Another great game in the silent hill series, I've so far not been able to play this. But it do look good, and I've enjoyed the others.
