Peter Moreland and Rob Davies collaborated on the design of Gangsters 2. The game is a follow-up to Gangsters: Organized Crime, which was also published by Eidos.

    GenreStrategy

    [title] Gameplay

    Gangsters 2 is mostly a strategy game with a point-and-click interface. Each gangster (or “hood”) the player controls as Bane has four subordinates who can help them with jobs and firefights. Hoods can use vehicles to get to their targets faster, try drive-by shootings, and transport illegal goods for sale. Weapons can be upgraded, allowing hoods to outgun their opponents. To bring in money, businesses must be bought, sold, or taken over from rival gangs, and the player must set up their own illegal businesses, such as breweries, gambling dens, and brothels, to maintain control and influence in conquered territories.

    The player is given objectives to complete on a regular basis. They range from simple tasks like establishing new rackets to more difficult missions like seizing rival gangs’ businesses, carrying out kidnappings, and murders. Objectives assigned to seasoned hoods with the proper equipment usually go well, whereas a lack of preparation and proper planning can result in the player losing hoods and attracting unnecessary police attention.

    Players can use money from their rackets and businesses to buy a variety of automobiles and weapons, hire business specialists to help manage their rackets, and hire special hoods such as hitmen for specific objectives.

    There are five different cars to choose from, as well as a variety of guns, including revolvers, dual pistols, rifles, shotguns, and Tommy guns. Bombs can be purchased for attacks and assassinations as well, but only by a hood with the bomb skill. Skills can be leveled up by a limited amount before beginning each mission, ranging from improving hoods’ combat and stealth skills to their special abilities, which are unique to each hood; examples include “bombing,” “bank robbing,” “getaway driving,” or “kidnapping.” You can also improve racket managers’ business skills, increasing their overall profits.

  • The Game of Life

    The Game of Life

    Game Description

    “When you play The Game of LIFE, you can learn about life!” Many (American) readers will recognize this catchy television jingle from about twenty years ago, which promoted the old board game of the same name. While the only thing you might learn was a bizarre caricature of life based on 1950s stereotypes, The Game of LIFE was certainly one of the children’s/family games that most people of my generation will remember having played on at least a few occasions, alongside games like Sorry! and Clue. Of course, it’s 1998, so it seems almost natural that a computer version would be released. Hasbro Interactive is releasing a number of their board game titles on the computer (including the aforementioned Sorry! and Axis & Allies), and as a result, we can now play The Game of LIFE without having to clean up after ourselves.

    PublishersHasbro Interactive
    DevelopersMass Media
    Release date1998
    GenreStrategy

    [title] Gameplay

    The Game of LIFE is an excellent children’s game because there are only a few decisions to make while playing. Simply spin the spinner and move as many spaces as the spinner indicates. As a result, players are not punished for making bad decisions; rather, they are punished for bad luck. As a result, everyone has roughly an equal chance of winning any given game. As a result, this is a game that children will enjoy playing with their friends or that the entire family will enjoy playing. As a result, I’m not sure how useful a computer version of this game would be. If I were a child old enough to play a game like this, I’d probably do far more interesting things on the computer than play The Game of LIFE 2 online. If I really wanted to play a game like this (again, as a child), I’d rather play the board game and interact with the other players directly, as well as move the pieces myself, rather than focusing on the computer screen.

  • Jurassic Park The Game

    Jurassic Park The Game

    Game Description

    Jurassic Park The Game is an episodic graphic adventure video game released for the PlayStation 3, Macintosh, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox 360 based on the 1993 film Jurassic Park. Telltale Games created and published the game as part of a licensing agreement with Universal Partnerships & Licensing.

    The game takes place on the fictional island of Isla Nublar, which is home to the Jurassic Park dinosaur theme park. The game, set during and after the events of the 1993 film, serves as a four-episode miniseries, but the plot also focuses on the retrieval of a canister full of dinosaur embryos that were lost during the film after Dennis Nedry’s failed attempt to deliver them to the docks. The game was announced in June 2010 and was supposed to be released in April 2011, but it was postponed until November. When it was first released, critics gave it mixed reviews.

    Barnyard

    Game Description

    Barnyard is a party-oriented adventure game developed by Blue Tongue Entertainment and published by THQ, based on the same-named film. On August 1, 2006, it was released for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, and Microsoft Windows. On February 22, 2007, a Wii version was released. The Wii version was a launch title in North America.

    PublishersTHQ
    DevelopersBlue Tongue Entertainment, Halfbrick
    Release date2006
    GenreAction, Adventure

    [title] Gameplay

    There are several types of gameplay in Barnyard, ranging from missions to a mini-game system. Players take on the roles of various farm animals as they progress through nine chapters. An extra farm animal may be unlocked if you were playing Nickelodeon games at the time that were part of the ‘Crossover’ event. As players progress through Barnyard chapters, they meet new characters, unlock new areas, gain more in-game currency, and so on. Players move around the back of the Barnyard cast, either exploring the area(s) the Barnyard movie has to offer or following the story and completing the missions by going to the barn animal that sent a text message to the player’s phones. Players can find these characters by looking for the ‘!’ on the map and taking the shortest path to it. The barnyard variety grows as players progress through the chapters. There are numerous references to the back at the Barnyard cast throughout the game, including dialogue from the characters and specific in-game objects. However, as players progress through the game, they lose the same playable character, Ben, that is lost in the film. As players progress through the game, specifically Chapter 8, things only get worse as the back at the Barnyard’s leader, Otis, flees and players are put in charge. However, the tides change abruptly when the player, the other animals, and Otis make one last stand against the final boss. It should be noted that the number of missions available varies depending on the chapter being played.

The PC version was released in March 2003, followed by the Mac version on April 11, 2003.

    The original game’s gameplay, which was primarily a wrestling game, has been expanded. Fighters can select one, two, or three of the five fighting styles available. Streetfighting, Kickboxing, Martial Arts, Wrestling, and Submissions are the fighting styles.

    Furthermore, Def Jam Fight for NY PS4 emphasizes the use of Def Jam Fight for NY’s various environments as well as the surrounding crowd to inflict damage. Tossing the opponent against barriers allows fighters to inflict massive damage on their opponent by slamming them into the wall headfirst, ramming a door or gate in their face, or utilizing other environmental features. If a fighter is thrown into them or gets too close, the crowd will shove him back into combat, sometimes holding a fighter and leaving them open to attack. Some spectators carry weapons and will offer them to the fighters or even attack them if they are being held by a nearby onlooker.

  • Lego Racers

    Lego Racers

    Game Description

    Lego Racers is a racing video game based on the Lego bricks that were created by High Voltage Software and published by Lego Media.

    The single-player mode is set in the fictional “Legoland” universe and follows various Minifigure characters competing in a racing competition created by a fictional racing champion named Rocket Racer. Players take control of a Minifigure and race them in a variety of Lego-built cars against other Minifigure characters. Items can be used by the player to impede the progress of other racers, and the player can build their own cars and characters out of unlocked Lego bricks and race with them. Multiple players can race against each other in a local multiplayer mode.

    Originally conceived by High Voltage founder Kerry J. Janofsky, Lego Racers’ development was aided by The Lego Group’s creative expertise after Lego Media agreed to begin production. Critics were divided on Lego Racers graphics, construction system, driving gameplay, and other design aspects, and it received mixed reviews. Attention to Detail created two sequels, Lego Racers 2 and Drome Racers, which were released in 2001 and 2002, respectively.
