Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

When you hear the fanfare, you know what to expect. The same happens when you hear the musical theme of the Star Wars, although this series has not impressed too much in the last few years. With all these, The force Unleashed seams to detach from this period, offering an interesting story in which you will meet many beloved characters, but will not be saving either in the action and surprise chapters.

In this game you will enter under the skin of Galen “Starkiller” Malek, the secret disciple of Darth Vader. The war of the clones is over, and Vader is ordering you to follow and destroy the last few Jedi alive. Exploring the universe from this dark perspective of the Force will prove to be a very interesting one. The adventure, although it’s not extending too much, is filled of twists, less or more friendly faces, it is very deep and sometimes even explosive. You will interact even with Vader, but most of the story you will be accompanied by an Android named Proxy and the woman who pilots for him, Juno Eclipse. We can not reveal the details of the adventure of this trio, in order not to steal the pleasure to personally discover, but it is enough to say that you will manage to love Starkiller very much and his comrades also, especially because each of their step brings an extraordinary interior moral conflict.

Still, the main attraction of the game is not Starkiller, but the physical engine of the game, which is behind all the spectacular moves which you will see in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Using the Force Jack, you can grab and then throw any object around you, including enemies if that is what you want. Also the Force can help you push different object from your path, including stubborn people.

Hellboy: Science of Evil

At a given moment in Hellboy: Science of Evil you will have to face a monster which was obtained with the hybridization of a gorilla and an octopus. Then the adrenaline in your body will begin to move around as you clinch your stoned fist in order to fight this evil creature. Only in this moment you will realize how much the fighting games have evolved since this genre was very often found in a real gamer’s collection.

Hellboy has a fight with a witch who is referring to herself using the third-person and you will spend half of your adventure trying to shut her mouth. Then the character will realize that his real enemies are the hordes of mechanized gorillas which try to take him down.

The adventure will prove to be a satisfying and full of humor one, with replies like “I don’t think we’re in Kansas, Toto”, especially that Ron Perlman has “borrowed” his voice while creating this game.

It is not something out of ordinary in Science of Evil to be surrounded by a pack of hideous enemies, but, with the help of the super human powers of the character and the weapons the can sometimes use, the pack of enemies can be quickly annihilated, and the character can continue his journey until he will meet the next set of enemies.

Of course, the “rule of the fist” is not the only one you will have to follow in this game. Built like a maze sometimes, you will have to use your brains to go through its levels which are thought as a puzzle, and many times you will have to predict which is the next move and what can help you continue the progress.
