Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village


The success of the Nintendo DS has produced a completely new player base: Casual Gamers. Meaning the players that their console and its handheld only now and then dig out and knit with simple, usually employ less demanding games. Of course there was this before, but they used to play most of their PC (MINE SWEEPER anyone?). With the DS and the Wii, however, the field has shifted increasingly to the video game world. Much to Missfalen the so-called core gamers who consider playing more as a sport, where high levels, realistic graphics, bombastic sound and a sophisticated game play are important. As it stands, but do not have the big money, since DS-logic-games such as Dr Kawashima's BRAIN JOGGING FOR YOUR dominated since almost three years, the international sales charts. to bring

casual and core gamers under one roof, is a task which apparently took the Japanese software company "Level 5". After fantasy epics like Dragon Quest VII one seemed willing to it with an interesting experiment to To venture which offered an accessible gameplay that could capture even Grandma and Grandpa in front of the DS, but also a demanding technology had to offer real challenges and a thrilling story. Was born PROFESSOR LAYTON AND THE MYSTERIOUS VILLAGE. The game burst into Japan charts. After over a year lasted until LAYTON also reached the American shore, and was in this country still appeared on any list announcement, fans have already buried the hope for an official EU events (and possibly attacked on U.S. imports). But in the late autumn of last year it was in Europe so far, and PROFESSOR LAYTON creamed off us with very good sales figures.

It looks simple, but one should not underestimate the difficulty of the puzzle ...

Professor Layton is an interesting fellow. He sees himself primarily as a mystery crackers, which it extends everywhere unsolved mysteries waiting to be solved. He has already unraveled many a criminal case and those responsible brought to the track. However, he does not like it when he is called a private detective. His young assistant Luke sees something different, but in his Layton shows you some leniency. One day be called the Professor and Luke in the village of St. Mystere. On behalf of Lady Dahlia, the two are the secret of the Golden Apple . Solve No one knows what it is for this artifact of the late Baron Reinhold is. But it is clear that Dahlia may take up the legacy of her dead husband's only when the golden apple falls into their hands. And then make Layton and Luke in embracing the mysterious village under the microscope. Quickly notice that its people behave very strangely. But since they are all challenging puzzles for the professor to keep at hand, they grow fond of him quickly. Then, when suddenly a murder, but shows that St. Mystere has a really dark secret. Layton is confident that this is related to the dark tower, which extends in the heart of the village in the sky ...

Sounds like a classic adventure game, right? PROFESSOR LAYTON AND THE MYSTERIOUS VILLAGE but can not easily submit to a genre. While exploring the village in Adventuremarnier, chatting with residents and sometimes even collecting items, the core of the game of solving seemingly simple mental exercises. But precisely here lies the real requirement: The logic puzzles are all quite challenging and can not be resolved, especially later in the game "just". Here is a real brain acrobatics. Only through the successful completion of certain UpDown progressing the game. Coming next time do not, up to three hints per puzzle activate - if you have enough coins unearthed in the village to pay it. Again and again there are situations where you realize how stupid it actually was, and that the solution was obvious and simple. I can say that I felt throughout the game like a little idiot ...

And there lies the "problem" of the game. If you are blessed not just with a big brain, PROFESSOR LAYTON will offer many frustrating moments, not enough where even the tips, and they will resort to a walkthrough to get ahead - because mindless trial and error helps only in few cases. Fortunately, the story is gripping, so that the player despite thinking dead ends not the fun of it loses. You have to deal with the MYSTERIOUS VILLAGE so with patience and time. People who want to tear down the game in four hours, quickly realize that you brühtet sometimes twenty minutes or longer on a task. The LAYTON makes one of the most demanding games that you can currently get on the DS.

"Gaaaaah!" - "I know Luke video players have never seen a beautiful sight ...."

PROFESSOR LAYTON it belongs to the best that the DS has to offer. While the game is completely controlled by touch screen, there is a video of beautiful, hand-painted backgrounds. The figures are painted in a charming anime style, reminiscent of Heidi and Co.. The back story is told in great animated sequences that could then also run the children's program / should. The speech output is achieved not through the entire game, but is pleasantly free of noise and filled with excellent speakers. The melancholy, slightly French music is engaging and beautifully composed, in the long run but maybe a tad monotonous.

All in all, PROFESSOR LAYTON AND THE MYSTERIOUS VILLAGE a beautiful symbiosis of different game genres, a crisp problem (where you really can learn something) and a technical (DS) feat. Nevertheless, one must say clearly that not every gamer will be happy. First-person shooter fans, which it is already too much if you occasionally have to solve small puzzles switch should make PROFESSOR LAYTON a wide berth. All others had said that they have available for a game that will surely go down as a classic in the software history.

Fire Emblem - Shadow Dragon


When American and European players SUPER SMASH BROS. MELEE played on the Gamecube, they quickly realized that there join in two characters from which they never had heard - even if they may have each in their Home continents obtainable Nintendo game had Roy and Marth were two medieval knight-inspired men who knew well how to deal with their swords. Those who read through with the trophies, the back stories of the two characters, found out quickly that they were dealing here with figures from the Fire Emblem series. This had so far not released outside of Japan. This changed in 2003 and 2004, when the Game Boy Advance spin-Fire Emblem: Rekka No Ken has been published under the simple title FIRE EMBLEM in the U.S. and Europe. Since then, the latest part of the series published worldwide. The previously released on the NES and SNES episodes were non-Japanese players, but only once denied.

This changed in 2008 when, under the title Fire Emblem - Shadow Dragon is a DS remake of the very first part of NES in Japan and Europe, came a short time later in the U.S. market. In Fire Emblem is a mix of strategy and role-playing: some way out to an army of various units of different species over a card. To the obstinate opponents, on the death of the hero character - "Marth" in the case of SHADOW DRAGON - are made to resist, one must employ certain combat skills of his troops. In addition to attacking properties, there are also units that heal steal, and spells. Each unit, which has defeated an enemy, receives experience points. If one has collected enough, increasing the unit referred to an experience level, providing for certain properties such as life energy, strength, magic resistance, etc. are improved. When you reach the goal of a map (which is usually associated with the defeat of the leader of the opposing army), puts it before the next board. Between levels, you have the possibility to equip the units with new weapons and set up his army for the next task. Moreover, here the story in the form of still images is presented in dialogues and retold both screens sized paintings.

The background is told as a fully playable tutorial.

way: The young warrior Marth is apparently the last survivor of the royal house of Altea. Once, when the shadow dragon Medeus Akeinia the continents with the evil ruler Gharnef conquered the Alteaner were by their neighbors who had joined Medeus betrayed and overwhelmed. Marth years later, an army of resistance fighters. With her he wants to rid the continent, the throne of Altea and punish the murderers of his family. To achieve this he has the sacred sword of his father and the mysterious find Fire Emblem . Is the only way he gets the power that is necessary to Gharnef both the evil and destroy Medeus.

The original FIRE EMBLEM SHADOW DRAGON been replaced with his second remake, since Japan in 1994 exclusively on the SNES, such a landing. The DS version, however, can boast one more reamed technique side. Although the graphics win any beauty prizes, but it is always appropriate and clear (which can not be said of other strategy games like Age of Empires on the DS). Although the cutscenes are kept rather simple, they manage to spread a nice mix of Japanese manga and European flair of the Middle Ages. The sound effects are rather spartan, a voice you search in vain. For , the ears of beautifully orchestrated music, which have nothing but catchy melodies, exposed. Although you can play the game via keyboard, is useful to use SHADOW DRAGON complete with stylus.

self flying horses against our hero Marth (what's this for ever in a name?) No chance.

Although I have thanks to the GBA, Gamecube and Wii parts already read much good about the series, SHADOW DRAGON is the first time that I even dare to approach FIRE EMBLEM. And I was impressed right: apart from the clean technology and superior control of the game has a high addiction factor. After each Round says: "Just one more round!", After each level: "Just one more level!" And again a few hours have passed. That it is each unit to an individual with the background, you are highly motivated to get through every card possible without loss. Unfortunately, save only at certain save points, so there must often be restarted once, wants to save as many units. A better storage option would be have been preferable. Also is associated with the individual units that you can not foresee exactly when you can do what character in the game to attract a major new addition for my Army. In such cases helps then only a complete restart of the game. It's annoying especially at the end of the game when the difficulty attracting. If one much less perfection of the day, these criticisms are less significant.

My personal introduction to the world of Fire Emblem would not thrilling to fail. While there are some flaws here and there, and also in terms of tactics, there's certainly some room for improvement, but that does nothing more than to the otherwise successful overall package. Who exciting and atmospheric Fantasy investigated for its DS should access here. Countless hours finest game fun are guaranteed. I will for my part, I now look after the most recent Wii episode.

Resident Evil: Degeneration


There is nothing good, unless you do it. The thought is probably the game forge Capcom, after they had seen in the Japanese headquarters with, such as Sony Pictures among zealous use of trash-director Paul WAS Anderson, the movie adaption of the successful video game series, RESIDENT EVIL three times maintained in the sand began. Oh, of course, the films played a lot of money. But at the same time they entered the continuity of the games with their feet and were what made RESIDENT EVIL on consoles so successful horror and sheer dread. This fell flat Shocks, bad special effects and a banal story about the victims. prove

To the millions of fans that Resident Evil could work beautifully in film form, it makes you look at Capcom to work together with Sony Pictures on a fully computer animated strips. With the biohazard developed for amusement parks: 4D EXECUTER (the series in Japan with the title BIOHAZARD) had finally been already gained experience in the sector. DEGENERATION: But should RESIDENT EVIL (Biohazard: Degeneration, 2008) to be held in photorealistic quality - like FINAL FANTASY VII: ADVENT CHILDREN from rival Square / Enyx. The story of the adventure is divided it is directly between the parts 4 and 5 (available in a few weeks) and is a kind of bridge that shows what you have left traces of the destruction of Raccoon City and the destruction of the Umbrella Corporation.

"Wow, I can see better than in CODE: Veronica!"

since then the United States been forced, had to be destroyed by the T-Virus into a city of living dead mutant Raccoon City with a nuclear bomb and has dissolved the experimenting with biological weapons pharmaceutical company Umbrella, the world hangs in constant danger: A terrorist attack in India has shown recently that terrorists in the seemingly Possession of the Umbrella's legacy have come. Various citizens' groups protesting against several chemical companies who work on to Biological Weapons and alleged vaccines. Their lobbyist Senator Davis (Michael Sorich) is particularly in the crossfire. As luck wishes to keep the working for the UN Claire Redfield (Alyson Court) at Harvard Ville airport, on which lingers even Davis and is upset about the protesters in front of the railing. Claire is one of the few survivors of the Raccoon City incident and fought as a UN officer at the political level of the intellectual heirs of Umbrellas. Suddenly, the unbelievable happens: At the airport there is an outbreak of the T-Virus! Zombies fall over the present ago. A terrorist attack? Claire can be some of the survivors - hide - including Davis. Soon appeared her old companion Leon S. Kennedy (Paul Mercier) and saves the group using the soldier Angela (Laura Bailey). While the military tries to contain the virus outbreak, investigate Claire, Leon, and Angela, who was behind the attack. They are a terrible truth on the track ...

Wow. One has to be said definitely: We are dealing with the so far best RESIDENT EVIL film. However, the means for the dubious quality of the films is not much real. Indeed, in the first place offers a pleasant DEGENERATION patronizing Schlachtplatte for fans. As already mentioned, the strip is nestled perfectly into the storyline of the games. It is noted also positive that there are all sorts of allusions to the series. The fact that already were known speakers from the players committed to play their roles again, one should mention positive. The writer proposes an addition, an action sequence after another around the ears. Hats off!

"...' cause this is Thriller! Thriller Night ... "

But it will take the story too, because they do not own for 92 minutes, but offers a lot of content and up to the successful airport sequence at the beginning only of quotations from the Play is. Another - LARGE - criticism is the animation. True that the background of super, and the figures can convince on still images or less ... But when it comes to the movement, the whole is very, very artificial, stiff and emotionless few. The fact is, unfortunately, only reinforced that the speaker - at least in the original - may seem quite dull and somehow do not fit the action on the screen. Degeneration is therefore one of the few cases where I recommend the German Synchro. But even as it becomes clear how the dialogue is trivial - but it fits so perfectly to the series, because even the games spread in the field a certain charm. One more word about the video: Why does Leon so nasty from now and until the hair no resemblance to his appearance in Resident Evil IV?

good. Okay. Who is on zombie action (the Gore-factor was compared to the games but scaled down sensitive) and a fan of the series may, with RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION start quite a bit. Entertaining, the movies, despite its failings, in any case, and in between is even something like voltage (horror should not be expected however). Most movie fans will be after a few minutes but with no appreciation shake off his head and. Therefore: For Fans! Since I am one of the uninitiated or Resident Evil should abstainer from my rating nor a few percentage points of disconnect.

My Period Is Late, But I Have Had The Flue

Marvel's Man-Thing


In Germany, comics are not as popular as in the U.S.. This also applies to such major masters of the medium, such as Marvel. SPIDER-MAN knows that, yes. The X-MEN or THE AVENGER, which will come in a few years in the cinema. Iron Man, Hulk and the Fantastic Four surely. But MAN-THING? No, this creature who was born in 1971 the light of day and even more obscure in the States is likely to know and just real comic book fans. This may not be particularly surprising: MAN-THING is similar in its origins and its striking appearance the SWAMP THING, which when Competitor DC Comics although only a year later in series went, but especially by two movies (I have which I first the discussion on this already) and a television series was not equal in popularity, and known here as THE THING FROM THE SWAMP is.

The thought at Marvel and Lions Gate Films, which had acquired the film rights to the MAN-THING, probably. In contrast to such comic epics as SPIDER-MAN, which were pulled up with a big budget, a star-studded and expensive special effects to summer blockbusters, we turned to our friend the bottom on the back burner. TV and B-movie actors were involved, and the filming moved to Australia cheap (although the movie is playing in Louisiana). As a director, they chose Brett Leonard, whose greatest success - the very detached from its original Stephen King The Lawnmower Man - already dated back several years. Actually we had planned to strip the right to publish on DVD, but then it radiated from at least on the American Sci-Fi Channel after interim plans a limited theatrical release had been re-dropped.

"Can Aaaaah! You Your Miracoli not eat well?"

Sheriff Kyle Williams (Matthew Le Nevez) has had to move to Louisiana to find some peace. But it is nothing. Right on his first day is found in the swamps of the terrible dressed corpse of a teenager. In addition, Williams may have with a group of environmental activists - led by the beautiful teacher Teri (Rachael Taylor) - grapple, which protest against the desecration of the industrial nature Schist (Jack Thompson). They believed that the Indians, whom he seems not to have the land abgeschwatzt quite fair stuck behind the attacks on its machines. Teri Williams learns of the Shaman and Pete (Rawiri Paratene), that is a terrible forest spirit who lives in the swamps, responsible for the deaths and the attacks on schist country. Of course Williams believes this nonsense - but soon more murders happen ...

Just like the original comic is MARVEL'S MAN-THING (Man-Thing, 2005) are more horror story as a super hero story. Here, the background of the character is, however, watered down, or simply - probably in the attempt, not as SWAMP THING imprints come over. But it does not really scary, because the film from beginning to end as the tired B-movie looks, he's also. Second-rate actors (the attractive Rachael Taylor landed later in the least disappointing but successful TRANSFORMERS) act under one director sought (extreme annoy the fast-sectional images) and can not be compared phanatasielose the writer and his nasty fight dialogues. If you know the name "Marvel" reads one expects a certain quality that is associated with the brand. And which one gets here is not easy.

"Do not be hasty, little hobbit ..."

have even to large ones like those FANTASTIC FOUR this problem. And when to scale back their expectations properly, you will be after all that MAN-THING is no worse than the usual action and SF scrap second vote, which runs in the evening on RTL2. Surprisingly, the special effects even halfway convincing - albeit for a film this class - and thus create a certain entertainment value. MAN-THING

is a wasted opportunity. The attempt to equip successful with Marvel goods and the B-movie industry has so far failed, that you have created here simply nothing special. MAN-THING is irrelevant and unnecessary, but can score points so that, for a Marvel film, at least to be "different". Fans, therefore, should access, and if it is only necessary to keep the collection complete. All others should ignore this film, which is like lead in the DVD shelves of the retailer, complete.

Hitman - Hitman


I think I have already elsewhere pointed out that it is rare, a computer game properly be brought to the screen. With the exception of Silent Hill has to say simply that no attempt, even the most successful game to film, at least artistically challenging. TOMB RAIDER or the RESIDENT EVIL films could nevertheless won commercial success - but even that is denied most video game adaptations. Nevertheless, there are always clever Hollywood producers who think it's a good idea, mostly using for the youth known substances as a script writer to the task of assessing - shock! - Develop new ideas (This happened a few months ago in the form of MAX PAYNE)

HITMAN is also such a thing. The game was developed by Eidos, which also show up for the adventures of Lara Croft bosomy responsible, and appeared on PC and various consoles. Hitman: Codename 47 was so many fans that is now being crafted on the fifth installment of the series. So no surprise that filmmakers were aware of this success. Since the advent of the rumors about a film was Vin Diesel as a safe candidate for the role of the eponymous anti-hero - while diesel bald seemed well to have been his biggest qualification to the equally bald "47" to embody. In fact, Vin Diesel was definitely planned to give the main character of HITMAN, however, sprang from just before the hot phase of production. He was replaced by Timothy Olyphant, the general public shortly before become known as a villain in the fourth Die Hard. At his side, the producers, the young Ukrainian Olga Kurylenko, which operated here far more revealing than a year later in QUANTUM OF SOLACE. To the film, which for the most part in Eastern Europe and Turkey played to impose an appropriate stamp, they pledged the French Xavier Gens as director.

"Trust me, I know what I do!"

"47" (Timothy Olyphant) is a hitman, a HITMAN. But no "Ordinary". He was brought as a child in the service of the mysterious organization , where he was trained and conditioned it to function as a perfect killing machine. He receives commissions anonymous, works alone and is very well paid for his services. When he receives the order in Russia, off the Russian President Belicoff (Ulrich Thomsen), everything sounds the first time after a routine mission. Even when it is opened, that the attack has to happen in public, that does not change 47's project. In fact, he is able to eliminate Belicoff four miles away with a head shot. Too bad that Belicoff, only a glancing shot will have come on the next day again before the camera. Worse still, a witness will be able to identify 47th The lone killer must respond quickly. Arriving at his destination, he realizes, however, that the lovely Nika (Olga Kurylenko) has never seen him before, and that his colleagues seem to have it aside from now on for him. In the hope that they could still prove useful to make 47 to hunt down the traitors. Here it is Interpol Commissioner Whittier (Dougray Scott), however, hot on the heels ...

One must expect to be the gene and all parties involved: HITMAN - ALL DIE ALONE (Hitman, 2007) makes it quite crash. Particularly bloody issue in the "Extended Edition", which is available on DVD to have her. Baller orgies, hand-to-hand combat and lots of explosions could reduce the inclined action fan in ecstasy. Can. Because, unfortunately, can even the most modest filmmaker not deny that the action sequences are held together only by a meager tired and unimaginative story. A killer who moves against his former client to war? Check out the Bourne trilogy, which succeeds on three films away to develop a much more consistent power curve, as it creates HITMAN in just 90 minutes.

"Honey, you should take necessarily reflect the views Shave legs "

It is made of strips actually not technically bad As I said. The action is plentiful and the battle certainly also choreographed A real nice.." Wow "moment remains Additionally, we are unfortunately out involuntarily. funny moments, terrible dialogue and rather listless acting actors, of which Dougray Scott leaves even the best impression. Yes, Olga Kurylenko is beautiful to look at, but it plays so annoyed and bitchy, that is created for her character no sympathy.'s similar Olyphant, the figure already suffers to be able to show little emotion, but also to fight with thick logic errors in the plot added.

HITMAN bad really is not. Since you've already seen evil. But unfortunately there is not much good, what could be written about the film. He joins the long line of a regular computer game adaptations, you can leave in good conscience left. Action fans should reach for DVD rental. You will know after the end of the movie, why not buy HITMAN imperative.
