    [title] Story

    After the player creates a crew of characters, The Sims 2: Castaway begins on a boat. The crew can be made up of one to six Sims. Following the creation of the crew, a slide show of mobile phone pictures of the trip and the storm that wrecks the ship begins. The player’s first Sim awakens on Shipwreck Island’s First Beach. The Sim discovers books that detail the goals the Sim must achieve in order to survive on the islands and escape. Soon after exploring Shipwreck Island, the Sim discovers a second island, Airplane Island, which is much larger and more interesting than the first and constructs a raft to reach the new location. The Sim is reunited with some of their lost crew after arriving on the island. If the relationship is strong enough, the player can form a tribe of Sims. While exploring Airplane Island, the player discovers radio parts that are needed to complete a later-game goal. Volcano Island can be reached after the player finds the second beach on Airplane Island and constructs a canoe. The player will discover the remains of the llama people on Volcano Island. They have the option of building a boat or traveling to the volcano’s summit and using the radio parts to send an SOS signal to a nearby ship. The player can also repair a broken ceremonial forge on Volcano Island, causing a fourth island, Crystal Island, to rise from the sea, but this is optional and is not required for the player to escape the island. There are numerous discoverable secrets in The Sims 2: Castaway, including secret areas such as the Hidden Lagoon and the Secret Pirate’s Cove. These areas can only be accessed after the player has collected objects such as hieroglyphics and treasure map pieces, which is a lengthy process.

  • True Crime New York City

    True Crime New York City

    Game Description

    True Crime New York City is an open world action-adventure video game released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube by Luxoflux. Aspyr ported it to Microsoft Windows, and Hands-On Mobile ported it to mobile. Activision released it on all platforms. The PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube versions debuted in November 2005, followed by the PC version in March 2006 and the mobile version in March 2007. After True Crime: Streets of LA in 2003, this is the second and final installment in the True Crime franchise.

    Marcus Reed, a former New York City gang member turned police officer, is the protagonist of True Crime New York CityTrue Crime New York City. Reed witnesses the death of his mentor on his first night on the job after being promoted to detective in the Organized Crime Unit. Reed sets out to find out who killed his friend and bring down the mole, with the help of an FBI agent investigating a mole in the OCU. True Crime: New York City includes a 25-square-mile (65-square-kilometer) recreation of Manhattan, with GPS accuracy for most street names, major landmarks, and highways.

    New York City received mixed reviews from critics and overwhelmingly negative reviews from gamers, with critics and gamer reviewers citing numerous technical and graphical glitches, leading many to speculate that the game’s final stages of development were rushed in order for it to be released in time for Christmas. True Crime: New York City was also a commercial failure, selling only 72,000 units across all platforms in North America in its first two weeks of release, far less than Streets of LA. Its underwhelming critical reception and poor sales figures contributed to the True Crime franchise’s demise. Originally planned as the first of a two-part series set in New York and starring Marcus Reed, Activision scrapped the direct sequel and put future True Crime games on hold due to the game’s poor performance. They hired United Front Games in 2007 to create an open-world game set in Hong Kong. By 2009, True Crime New York City had evolved into True Crime: Hong Kong. However, True Crime New York City was canceled in 2011. Square Enix acquired the publishing rights several months later, and True Crime: Hong Kong was eventually renamed Sleeping Dogs, with no ties to the True Crime series. Activision dropped the True Crime trademark entirely in 2014.

    Gearhead Garage

    Game Description

    Snap-On Gearhead Garage: The Virtual Mechanic is a PC game in which players repair and customize late-model automobiles and trucks. Mikado created it, Snap-on Tools endorsed it, and Head Games published it in 1999. (subsequently acquired by Activision). There is no driving feature, but Gearhead Garage introduced a completely new “bolt-em-up” paradigm. The appeal is similar to taking things apart in real life—players can completely disassemble the engine, repair individual parts, reassemble them, and then display the finished product in their 3D “car lot.” The game also includes a series of “jobs” in which the player must repair vehicles owned by fictional characters. This enables them to earn money in order to purchase custom items from a catalog, auction, or junkyard.

  • Bratz: Rock Angelz

    Bratz: Rock Angelz

    Game Description

    Bratz: Rock Angelz is an adventure video game released in 2005 based on the Bratz fashion doll line. Blitz Games created it, and THQ published it. It is based on the direct-to-video film Bratz Rock Angelz as well as the toyline of the same name. The game was released for the PlayStation 2 and GameCube, as well as the Game Boy Advance and Microsoft Windows.

    PublishersTHQ
    DevelopersBlitz Games
    Release date2005
    GenreAdventure

    Gameplay

    PlayStation 2 and GameCube

    This version of Bratz Rock Angelz is a free-roaming adventure. The player takes control of one of four Bratz girls (Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha, and Jade) who are attempting to start their own teen magazine.

    The player can travel to four different locations: Stylesville (home of the Bratz), London, Paris, and the mansion. When the player moves the correct Bratz girl to a speech bubble, the game’s objectives are activated. During Bratz Rock Angelz, blings, which are coins for the Bratz girls, appear. Each girl carries a cell phone, which she uses to send messages between characters, check the number of blings she owns, and find out where the next objective is. The phone’s cover and ringtone can both be customized. The player can also collect character token coins, which can be used to purchase movie clips. Each Bratz girl has a total of 25 available. Players can also take pictures and play minigames for extra money in Bratz Rock Angelz. The player can apply make-up to the girls as he or she sees fit. The Bratz can be led to stores to purchase the latest trends to complement their bling collection.

    Minigames are activated by going to certain locations or talking to non-player characters. They include:

    Game Boy Advance

    The Game Boy Advance version follows the same plot as the console version but has its own set of tasks. Completing tasks in Stylesville, where you live, allows you to make progress. The girls travel to London halfway through the story to prepare for a London show.

    Microsoft Windows

    The game’s Microsoft Windows version differs from the console version. It is based on the plot of the film.

    Bratz Rock Angelz has a total of nine objectives. The odd-numbered objectives (chapters 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are mini-games in which the player must complete tasks in order to earn points. Each mini-game consists of four rounds. When a player takes or misses apart, he or she receives fewer points. After three misses, the player must repeat the round, losing a number of points. Except for the final objective, the player can use points to unlock fashions for the Bratz girls.

    The even-numbered objectives (chapters 2, 4, 6, 8) are adventure games with puzzle elements. The player must interact with a specific Bratz character and collect items in order to solve a puzzle (for example give a camera to a colleague). The player can photograph the objectives in order to print them from the “Secrets” menu. To complete a part of an adventure objective, the player must create an article, logo, flyer, or poster. The player can even create and print their own design. This section is accessible via the “Secrets” menu.

    When the player completes Bratz Rock Angelz, they will be able to play Top Trumps, a card game similar to war. Each turn, the player is dealt a card with a number total on it. The player must guess which number on the card is greater than the number on the opponent’s card. If they are correct, they will win the card. They continue to play until one of the players has all 28 cards in his or her possession.

    After Jade is turned down by Your Thing magazine, the girls decide to launch their own publication to compete with Your Thing.

    Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3

    Game Description

    Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, also known as Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Meteor in Japan is the third and final installment of the Budokai Tenkaichi series to be released on consoles. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was released in Japan on October 4, 2007, for the PlayStation 2 and Wii, in North America on November 13, 2007, and in Europe on November 9, 2007, for the PlayStation 2. (the Wii version was released in Japan on October 4, 2007, in North America on December 3, 2007, in Europe and Australasia on February 15, 2008).

    Tenkaichi 3 has 98 characters in 161 different forms, making it the largest roster in a fighting game at the time. Ryo Mito previously stated that Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 would include never-before-seen characters created specifically for Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3.

    Several new notable features include Battle Replay, which allows players to record fights and save them to an SD card; Night and day stages, which allow certain characters to transform; and online multiplayer capability, which is the first game in the series. Players can compete against anyone from all over the world, with a ranking system that shows the player’s current standing in comparison to everyone else who has played online. The PlayStation 2 version includes the “Disc Fusion System,” which allows you to unlock the “Ultimate Battle” or “Ultimate Battle Z” modes by inserting a Tenkaichi 1 or Tenkaichi 2 disc. Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 also supports 480p for both the Wii and the PlayStation 2 versions.

    More combo attacks or character-specific combos, Blast Combos, and the Z Burst Dash are also included. The additional combo attacks will be able to aid in the chaining of more attacks for increased damage and longer combos. Blast Combos are regular combos in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3, but by inputting another button into the attack, the player can use a blast attack for extra damage. Depending on the character’s moves, the player may be unable to use this feat, such as Videl or Hercule. The Z Burst Dash is a much faster and nimbler version of the Dragon Dash. It enables the user to get behind the opponent at high speeds in order to strike or avoid a blast 2 attack. The disadvantage of this technique is that it rapidly depletes the player’s energy. In order to charge up all of their energy, the player must have one blast one stock filled up.
