BEN 10 Omniverse – PS3
So, for a while every
little boy I knew was into Ben 10 but because my son is much older now, I don’t
know if this still rings true. I suspect in some universe or should I say
Omniverse it is –otherwise this game wouldn’t have been released and I wouldn’t
be writing this review.
In this game you play the
hero Ben who, with a new friend Rook and the use of your amazing Omnitrix -
which is a fancy watch to you and me that doesn’t give you the time, but rather
the ability to change into one of thirteen amazing super alien species, you
need to defeat the enemy and save the world.
With each species having unique strengths and
abilities you need to make sure you select the right one for the job. I’ll tell you a little more about the aliens
later in the review, but first the storyline. This takes Ben through his
lifetime, discovering how events from his past have affected his future. You can choose to play as a young, or teen
Ben as you travel through 11 levels of action in your attempts to defeat the
villain that is threatening the world.
What is interesting to see
is that there is a two player mode available on PS3 (not on DS or 3DS), which
enables the player to have a real mate on board playing Rook and using his
powerful, multifunction ProtoTool.
As mentioned there are
thirteen aliens available to Ben including the original StinkFly, HeatBlast and
Four Arms and a few newer ones namely Bloxx, ShockSquatch and GraveAttack - each one as fun as the other!
All boys will love this as
a fun, action game – it’ll hold their attention for quite a while and because
of the two player mode they can play over and over again with different mates.
Every Fan of Ben 10 should
own this on one platform or another.

“Halo 4” Crimson Map Pack Adds Three New War Games Battlefields and
New Game Type on 10th December
First of three “Halo 4” War Games Map Packs delivers all-new competitive multiplayer environments and introduces “Extraction” to Xbox LIVE online matchmaking
Spartans, get ready to take the fight to new frontiers. 343 Industries announced today the “Halo 4” Crimson Map Pack will be available for download starting 10th December, featuring three new environments for you to wage battle on Xbox LIVE with friends. Descriptions of the three maps are as follows:
·Wreckage: Wreckage is the manifestation of the chaos of war. A medium-sized, asymmetrical map great for accommodating a wide range of objective-based game modes including King of the Hill and Capture the Flag. It is a ravaged environment of crashed debris, where the surrounding destruction creates complex paths perfect for throwing off your opponents, or testing the limits of your Warthog. This devastated landscape provides plenty of cover, with tons of nooks and crannies at your disposal while fighting for your turn to become King. Wreckage supports up to 16 players in Infinity Slayer and up to 12 players in a variety of other modes, including Capture the Flag, King of the Hill and Oddball.
·Harvest: Harvest is a canon concept brought to life – the doomed agricultural planet where humans first made contact with the Covenant. A small to mid-size map, Harvest is ideal for Capture the Flag. Here, you’ll need to get creative to effectively use light vehicles which are limited to the exterior pathways and can’t get into the bases, making this map perfect for infantry firefights and face-to-face skirmishes. Snipers will also feel right at home; long sightlines are broken up by great cover and hiding spots. Harvest allows up to 12 players to face off in Capture the Flag, Infinity Slayer, King of the Hill, SWAT and Slayer Pro.
·Shatter: Shatter is themed around natural crystalline surfaces and the huge UNSC factories mining them. This large, symmetrical map is a playground for the Warthog and Mantis - its open pathways make it easy to get around, whether on foot or in vehicles. Shatter is a great fit for Dominion and the new game type Extraction. For some close-quarters face-time, escape the open landscape and duck into a mining facility, or slip through a doorway and hunt unsuspecting Spartans. Shatter enables multiplayer mayhem for up to 16 players in Infinity Slayer and up to 12 players in other modes, such as Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Dominion and Extraction.
Available this December on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft points, the Crimson Map Pack is the first of three upcoming “Halo 4” War Games add-ons, and will include eight all-new Achievements worth a total of 250 Gamerscore. Players who purchase the “Halo 4” War Games Map Pass* or “Halo 4” Limited Edition will receive access to all three map packs as they become available in December, February and April at a 15 percent savings versus purchasing them individually. 1
Crimson Map Pack owners will have exclusive access to a single premium playlist that will only feature the new maps and will be the only place players can enjoy unique 6 vs. 6 matchmaking experiences, the new game type “Extraction,” and a wide range of voting combinations for different maps and modes.
In addition to the Crimson Map Pack, 343 Industries today unveiled “Extraction,” a new game type that will be introduced to “Halo 4” online matchmaking day and date with the map pack on 10th Dec:
·“Extraction”: Extraction is a 5 vs. 5 objective-based game type where opposing Spartan teams are tasked with extracting assets from various sites around the map. Once a team has found a site and is in position, they must plant their beacon and protect it from the opposing team while the extraction process occurs. If the defending team remains in control of the beacon, they receive one point, however if the opposing team overtakes the site before extraction is complete, the point goes to them. Once a site has been extracted, a new site becomes available. The first team to extract five points wins.
