Good old platforming fans rejoice! Banjo-Tooie, the second game in the Banjo Kazooie franchise was released today on xbox live marketplace! It costs 1200 points which may be expensive but the fact that it will take us back to the time we were sitting hours in front of the nintendo 64 seems to be priceless to me!
The second one is my favorite of the Banjo Kazooie universe. Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, the new game for the xbox 360 has its good parts but in another hand it has nothing to do with the old games. Only the characters and the humour stay the same. It was a nice try but it should show the producers to stick to the old gameplay that was fantastic and not completely change everything.
And even newcomers will have fun playing the old ones while the new one is more difficult to handle with and can get really annoying!
So I can only recommend buying this game or the first one if you haven't played any!

The Secret World Trailer

So this teaser trailer is really looking good and very promising!!
The only reason that may keep me from playing the game is that it is a MMORPG.
For those of you who don't know, a MMORPG is a 'massively multiplayer online role-playing game' so I would say the best example for this might be World of Warcraft.
I love RPGs, they are really fantastic and leading us to other worlds but playing them online with other people is not really that what I am looking for.
But how would french people say: 'Les goûts et les couleurs ne se discutent pas.' which means tastes and colours are not argued over!
And I might still take a look at it when it comes out ;)

Handheld Day

So today I've spent time with a very good friend of mine! She is a big gamer too and we love spending time playing various video games.
And this afternoon we decided to have fun with some games for the nintendo ds and the psp.
See for yourself.

And excuse the funny faces!

Bioshock 2 News

The sequel of Bioshock which was previously named 'Sea of Dreams' is now reduced to simply 'Bioshock 2'. Some informations have popped up on the internet about the main character being a Big Daddy and facing the 'Big Sister'. This 'Big Sister' is a grown-up version of the 'Little Sisters' and will hunt you through the game.



I haven't played much of the first one, so I am not in a good position to say much about the new one but as much as I can say is that I don't like the idea of playing a big daddy. Simply because in the first one, you played as a human being and you had a certain fear towards those terrifying creatures. But now if you play as one, it will be a different feeling because you are more like hiding in a shell.
Of course this doesn't mean that the game will be bad or anything and I am very excited to hear more about it.

Gaming News

So today I got 2 new games: Wanted: Weapons of Fate and Left 4 Dead.

I am a big Wanted fan, I really enjoyed the movie and I hope that the game will be good! Yes it is a movie game, but I think that the developers made the right step to take their time to produce the game and release it even after the movie and dvd came out!
That's a first good point. Another one is that the game takes place after the movie so they had more freedom for the storyline. They even tried to include scenes out of the comic book so that both, the movie and comic book fans would be satisfied with the result. I just hope that it won't be too repetitive because I played the demo and that's one point that made me doubt about it.

I know Left 4 Dead has been released some time ago but I never felt the urge to play it. Until I saw the intro of the game which is totally amazing!! I love the humour and action in this apocalyptic zombie game. The focus is on teamwork and playing in coop is certainly a lot of fun! And isn't it made as if you would be the star of a movie? I like that idea!
So I hope that I will love that game as much as I love Portal!

For those of you who haven't played the game yet or for those who want to rewatch this amazing intro, here it is:
