Beijing 2008

finally on August 01, 2008

Since Beijing 2008 is such a control-centric game (if a sports game doesn't feel right, it's no fun), it's worth taking time to describe areas where it excels and falters. Most of the race-based events – such as cycling, the 50m freestyle, the 100m breaststroke, and 100m track – rely on how fast you can alternately mash two buttons back-and-forth. This may initially seem like a fun mechanic, but on longer races it can get tiring quickly, and since there's no other way to build speed or maintain power, the fun factor drops quickly. Also, the power meter seems to fluctuate randomly. Sometimes you'll barely be tapping the buttons to maintain (or increase) your speed, while other times you're nearly breaking your controller to stay out of last place. Cycling mixes things up by allowing you to have multiple team members and swap them out based on a fatigue level, but since the game does this automatically, the idea seems wasted. Longer track races also utilize a fatigue meter, but it's just for show. You can't really slow down to rest, so you just keep hammering away on the same two buttons until your fatigue meter refills.
Here we are, 25 years later, and many Olympic-based video games have come and gone, but has there really been any real evolution of the gameplay? Developer Eurocom acquired an official license for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and has secured it again for this year's host city – Beijing. Beijing 2008 forgets to nail the one area it needs to most – controls – and this results in a lackluster experience.

Devil May Cry 4

devil on August 01, 2008
Alternate ending sequence Successfully complete the game. Then during the credits mini-game, protect Kyrie for over 90 seconds to view the rest of the ending sequence featuring Dante, Trish, and Lady. Keeping Dreadnaught armor This trick requires a fully leveled-up Royal Guard style. You must posses the "Dreadnaught" ability. Dreadnaught is performed by holding R1 + Left Analog-stick Away + Circle. This ability encases you in invulnerable armor, based upon how full your Royal gauge is. You can still perform Dreadnaught with an empty Royal gauge and get about five seconds of invulnerability. You will also suffer limited movement during a Dreadnaught. Perform Dreadnaught, and at the precise moment it runs out, switch your melee weapon (R2). If done quickly enough, you will keep the Dreadnaught armor and be able to move normally. Note: You will still be able to fully take damage. Easy Red Orbs in Mission 7: The She-Viper Use the following trick to get approximately 4,300 Red Orbs in about twenty seconds. At the start of the mission, destroy the rocks to your left. Enter the tunnel, and destroy the rocks. You will see the big red crystal near the Secret Mission. In order to get the most Orbs, start with the Stinger, then immediately activate Devil Trigger mode, and quickly mash away. Then, press Start, select "Systems", and choose "Retry Mission". This is the easiest way to get a lot of Red Orbs in a short amount of time.
