Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion

The long wait is over and my copy's finally here. Now get ready for the next battle.

Tekken 6 is the latest installment of the Tekken series. This game features the largest game character roster to date! Master 40 (yes forty) different characters with each of its own unique fighting styles. Out of that massive roster 6 of it are brand new faces. In addition to it are character customization, with every imaginable detail, with endless possibilities.

GAMEPLAY
The gameplay mechanics are still the same as the previous series (I'm glad they stick to the formula). With added features to enhance gameplay experience one of it is the dynamic, interactive and destructible environments wherein stages go through dynamic changes and/or break holes through floors to open new battle area. Secondly, is the rage system which is giving characters more damage per hit when health bar is below a certain point giving them an edge for a comeback and lastly, is the bound system that will cause the opponent to bounce off the floor leaving them open for another juggle or combo (sweet!).

GRAPHICS
The graphics is fine but not that smooth it is only sub-High Definition which is contradictory to ("Advanced high definition graphics and 3D animation technologies create the most impressive HD visuals in Tekken history") what their site told us. I have not seen the arcade versions though, which according to reports is great.

SOUND
The sound is great! Although, I don't really care about the sound unless, it sounded weird and unpleasant.

OVERALL
Of all the fighting games this has the best and enjoyable gameplay mechanic that any fighting fan should get. But due to its major flaws graphically and online playability. it is still not the best fighting game around (which for me is SF4).

I think that Namco's move on going multi-platform have disappointed a lot of Tekken fans around the world due to bad porting between two different consoles. However, in exchange out of it they got more money in their purse.

UPDATE:

Tekken 6 version 1.02 patch is already out which address the online lag issue. The online gameplay has improved from ultimate lag to minimal/lagless but it depends on the distance and connection speed between the two players.

I have tried playing with friends with different ISP's [(Globe to PLDT),(Globe to any ISP)] and lag is still present. However, on the same ISP's (Globe to Globe) is just fine and if lag is present it's tolerable.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Just got myself a copy of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves last October 14, 2009. This game is breathtakingly amazing. Wow! definitely a must buy for all Playstation 3 owners and a must try for those who do not have the console as this is an exclusive Playstation 3 game.

Is there really a need for me to review this game? This is just too obvious! Anyway, watch out for my simple review after I finish this game.

UPDATE:

I have just finished this game and I tell you. This is the best game I ever played in my entire life.
