Singularity | £17.99 | HMV | XBox 360

Singularity | £17.99 | HMV | XBox 360

  • What: Singularity
  • Current Price: £17.99
  • Where: HMV
  • Platform & Price Comparisons: XBox 360
  • Our Review: Singularity

The level of exposure that Singularity has received simply doesn’t match up to how fun it is. With a fairly derivative but entertaining plot and gameplay elements pinched from all over the gaming world, you are bound to have a good time with this game. It’s a bit disappointing visually and liberally sprinkled with glitches but the combat makes up for this. It’s very entertaining and solid and certainly appealing to gore porn fans like myself. Considering how new this game is, it’s impressive to see it available at this price already and well worth grabbing before HMV change their minds. Thanks to scott_w_1981 at Hotukdeals!

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition £27.93 @ The Hut [PS3 & XBox 360 Games]

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition £27.93 @ The Hut [PS3 & XBox 360 Games]

Until the end of tomorrow, you can grab a copy of the Ultimate Edition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for only £27.93 (usual price £29.93) from The Hut, using their August promotional code. This undercuts the next best price for either console (£29.89 from Send It) by just under £2.

Don’t forget to enter the following voucher code to get the game for the reduced price of £27.93: AUG20

In addition to the game itself, the Ultimate Edition includes the following: Battlefield 1943 — a full WW2 online shooter, Onslaught Mode expansion which allows you to play 4 player co-op in an attempt to thrust your squad to the top of the leader board, and four vehicle and two weapon unlocks.

This sequel to the excellent Battlefield: Bad Company builds up the successes of its predecessor to offer an experience which is even more fun and satisfying.  It’s a more focused and taut outing but it certainly doesn’t scrimp on opportunties for the player to go wild with anarchic glee and a reckless disregard for personal property.

There’s plenty of humour in the excellent single player campaign but, as is often the case with such titles, it is the multiplayer action which really shines here. It’s almost a physical impossibility to play on these massive maps, filled with well designed, powerful vehicles, where everything is wonderfully destructible, and not have a fantastic time.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – Game of the Year Edition £9.99 @ Amazon [Xbox 360 Games]

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Game of the Year Edition £9.99 @ Amazon [Xbox 360 Games]

With the release of Black Ops a mere three months away, the Call of Duty series edges ever closer to a ten-game milestone. Which, when you think about it, is impressive considering how shooter-saturated the market is, and how little an improvement can be made in less than a year. But if you fancy revisiting the series’ fourth and, in my opinion, finest entry, Modern Warfare, it’s going for just £9.99 on Amazon. And it’s the Game of the Year Edition, too.

Early copies of Modern Warfare’s Game of the Year Edition came with a voucher-code for downloading the ‘Variety Map-Pack’ off Xbox Live. Subsequent copies have since removed this incentive, resulting in the only difference between the standard and Game of the Year edition being another multi-syllable title underneath.

Modern Warfare brought the CoD series to a contemporary setting, shaking off the shackles of pre-determined WW2 conflicts. A terrorist organization has staged a coup in a fictional Middle Eastern country, threatening nuclear war. As such, the US Military deploy their troops to restore democracy and a rightfully appointed leader. The British are involved, too, although on a far shadier operation, as the S.A.S. follow the trail of a stolen nuclear warhead.

It’s a cracking story with what was at the time phenomenal visuals. The raid on an oil tanker in the midst of a tumultuous sea, lit up with lightning strikes, was amazing to behold, let alone play. The sense of being in the middle of a war-zone, as bullets fly, spark off the fiery corpses of cars, friend and foe alike falling in the maelstrom of gunfire and screams. The controls, as you’d expect, were pitch-perfect, zero-lag, and the guns felt perfect to handle, the sub-machine guns nice and light, the bigger rifles heavy but powerful.

Modern Warfare is perhaps best remembered for its now oft-copied online multiplayer. A handful of game-modes exist, from all-out Team Deathmatch to the more tactical Search and Destroy, but it’s the persistent online upgrading that kept bringing fans back, long after release. Every act, from killing an enemy to shooting down a called-in helicopter, earns you points, which fill your meter. Once the meter is full, you upgrade to the next level, which brings new weapons and perks. You can attach red-dot sights and grenade-launchers to your weapons, equip yourself with perks that dampen bullet-damage or allow your bullets to pass through walls, resulting in an organic, free-form approach to traditional ‘classes’.

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter £1.84 @ ShopTo [PC Games]

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter £1.84 @ ShopTo [PC Games]

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter was one of the first games I bought on the 360 that truly felt like a next-gen experience. The sun-baked and exposed cities of Mexico, overrun with rebels highlighted with glowing red diamonds. If you missed out on this game, or would like to relive it, then why not pick it up from ShopTo for just £1.84 on the PC?

It’s a smashing price, and on the PC you’ll get the best performance out of it. It’s a fairly dated game on the 360 and PS3, but on a good rig, I don’t doubt you’ll be able to pump out some decent results. Averaging an 80 on MetaCritic, critics cited the improved AI and authentic sense of realism as highlights, lamenting the short campaign and shallow squad-commands.

It’s 2013, and there’s an uprising bubbling in Mexico City. The U.S. army decides to send its most elite troops into this war-zone, the ‘Ghosts’. Equipped with the most cutting-edge technology, like Cross-Com and guns that can shoot around walls, the Ghosts infiltrate Mexico, crawling with hostile infantry, and set about destabilising the new regime and returning law and order to the city.

The campaign is fun, but largely forgettable. It’s the multiplayer where Advanced Warfighter succeeds. A burgeoning community still plays it to this day, thanks to the finely balanced weapons and class-system. It’s a team-focused game where co-operation is key. Co-ordinate your attack, support and help teammates in trouble. It’s a tense but very rewarding experience.

Aliens Vs Predator £9.93 @ The Hut [PS3 & Xbox 360 Games]

Aliens Vs Predator £9.93 @ The Hut [PS3 & Xbox 360 Games]

Forget the awful films, the real Aliens Vs Predator experience has always been on videogames. The most recent addition to the long-running series has now seen its price plummet to a mere £9.93 at The Hut. And if you’re any sort of Aliens or Predator fan, you’ll buy this game!

At a sub-tenner price, I really don’t think you can miss out on this if you’re a fan of the two series or simply an FPS fan in general. While it received a fairly mediocre reception, AVP is a rare thing, in that it’s an FPS that takes risks. It’s told from three perspectives, with vastly different mechanics and goals, all interwoven and integral to each other.

The story is simple. Aliens are on the loose, menacing Marines, and Predators are around hoping to off both sides. It’s standard fare, and the story’s not very important. After all, we’re talking about penile-headed aliens with mouths inside their mouths, dread-locked galactic game-hunters with mandibles, and Marines that are surprisingly incompetent at their job.

AVP is played from three perspectives. At one end, we’ve got the Marines. It’s familiar territory, pistols, rifles, shotguns. Marines lack the special abilities of their foes, and as such they’re missions play out like horror levels, tense and dripping with dread. Then, we’ve got the Aliens. Almost like vehicles instead of characters, Aliens can climb walls and sprint ceilings, upside down. It’s hectic, strange and wonderfully mad. Finally, meet the Predator. He’s like a murderous Sam Fisher, keeping out of sight, bristling with weaponry like his shoulder-mounted cannon, wrist-blades and disc. He’s huge fun, as are his trophy kills, where sneaking up on a hapless Marine results in his head being torn off, spine in tow. Wonderful.

Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising £7 @ Play [PS3 Games]

Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising £7 @ Play [PS3 Games]

If the likes of Cod and Halo put you off with their blatant disregard for reality, then Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising might be just your type of game, as but one bullet can end the game. And for just £7, it’s a steal at Play!

This is the cheapest deal around at the moment, and for quite a recent game that was rather well-received in the hardcore community, it’s a very good price. Delivery, as per usual, is free, and it’s in stock, so hurry before supplies deplete!

The Operation Flashpoint series champion a realistic approach to FPS gaming. A single bullet can kill you, and your health won’t simply recover over time. They’ve spent a lot of time and finessing the AI, ensuring they act and attack like real soldiers. Dragon Rising, which, sadly, has no real dragons in it, is the first OF game to take the next-gen step, and as such has been bolstered with a vast viewing-distance, realistic bullet-penetration, and a huge island to explore at your leisure.

Dragon Rising isn’t for everybody. You’ll have to plan your approach, stage your attacks with squad-commands and fire at the enemy as a real soldier would. No charging in, gung ho. Burst fire, from cover, and only progressing forward with the enemy flanked or under fire. If you can learn to shed your old FPS ways, then Dragon Rising is a hugely rewarding game. It’s got a vast, lush island to explore, and a palpable sense of atmosphere that shouldn’t be missed.

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles – Bundle £14.99 @ Amazon [Wii Games]

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Bundle £14.99 @ Amazon [Wii Games]

It’s nice to see developers actually attempt to make good games on the Wii. Too often we’re seeing half-assed ports of PS360 titles or rubbish party games where waggling the Wiimote amounts to a gameplay mechanic. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, a sort of mix-tape to the best moments in RE history, is a genuinely good game, and at £15 on Amazon, it’s not to be missed!

If you’re seeing a different price on the site, simply cast your eyes to the right, and the “More Buying Options” box, where Amazon’s cut-price is listed. This deal not only comes with The Darkside Chronicles game, but the Wiimote Zapper, the Wii’s lightgun peripheral, which by itself can be rather expensive. So finding it bundled with a game, all for the cost of fifteen bob, isn’t bad.

RE: The Darkside Chronicles is essentially a montage of the best bits in RE2 and Code: Veronica, my personal fave. It’s a co-operative game at heart, with up to two players taking control of Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield. It’s an on-the-rails shooter, with the actual movement of characters and pacing of the scenes determined by how quickly you can shoot all the enemies without dying. Whilst it might sound restrictive and also somewhat heretical, robbing the series’ of its trademark creeping dread, it’s still a very scary experience, albeit in a more hectic fashion. Bullets fly, monstrous snakes slither around bookshelves, and incredibly bad dialogue is thrown around with aplomb.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Bundle £6.24 @ Steam

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Bundle £6.24 @ Steam

It’s Stalker, OK? Not S.T.A.L.K.E.R. That’s far too many full-stops for one name. But if this clunky title doesn’t put you off, you can grab the original Stalker, and the follow up, Call of Pripyat, for just £6.24 at Steam!

You’re saving 75% with this deal, as opposed to buying each game seperately. Stalker is something of a cult-classic on the PC, averaging an 82 on MetaCritic, with Call of Pripyat close behind with 80. This particular deal expires on August 23rd, when both games will return to their individual prices when bought together, so hurry if you’re interested.

Set in the near-future, where the already irradiated Chernobyl suffers a second nuclear catastrophe, resulting in all manner of strange things, from mutants to changes in gravity, Stalker follows one of the eponymous wanderers of the waste, who, in traditional videogame form, is suffering from amnesia. Stalker’s search the ruins of Chernobyl for lost treasures, but with our Stalker’s mind off someplace else, he’s forced to discover how he lost his memory, in the process delving deeper into the mystery that is Chernobyl.

Call of Pripyat is a direct sequel to the original, picking up where events left off. The government ordered troops into the zone, but their fleet of helicopters mysteriously disappeared. Alexander Degtyarev, a Ukrainian Security Service agent, is sent into the zone to find their crash-site and uncover what happened. CoP, like the original, allows Degtyarev to determine the course and conclusion of the story, via events and choices made.

66% off Everything Borderlands @ Steam [PC Downloads]

66% off Everything Borderlands @ Steam [PC Downloads]

Right now Steam are doing a special deal whereby you can get 66% off all their Borderlands stock.

You can pick Borderlands itself up for just £6.79, £6 less than the best price of £12.93 for a boxed version from The Hut or Lovefilm. Meanwhile the next best price for a downloadable version is over £18 more at £24.95 from Direct2Drive. Alternatively Steam are offering four copies for £20.38, so if you’ve got friends to team up with then you can each grab the game for just over £5 each.

All the DLC is also available with 66% off so you can pick up The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot and The Secret Armory of General Knoxx for £2.14 each.

Set on the hostile and unforgiving planet of Pandora, Borderlands places you into the shoes of one of four mercenary bounty hunters who have planted themselves onto this cruel wasteland in search of the legendary alien treasure hoarde, The Vault. There’s very little more to the plot than this which largely serves as just a backdrop to the gameplay.

Borderlands is a first person shooter with rpg elements which developers Gearbox like to call a role-play-shooter. You get the format of a shooter, blended with elements like levelling up and upgradeable stats and skills, and an open world to have your wicked way with. It’s likely that you’ll spend a lot of time wandering Pandora looking for components and tweaking your weapons; there’s an estimated 17 million variations available to you!

Borderlands is an original, stylish and very fun game and if you’ve not tried it yet then it’s well worth a go at this bargain price.

James Bond: Quantum of Solace £5.85 @ ShopTo [DS Games]

James Bond: Quantum of Solace £5.85 @ ShopTo [DS Games]

With MGM’s dire finance woes preventing the 007 series from completing their ‘Craig’ trilogy, why not relive the Quantum of Solace portable tie-in on DS, available now from ShopTo for just £5.85?

Averaging a 65 on MetaCritic, Quantum of Solace on the DS enjoyed the same sort of reception as the film. It’s not bad, by any means. Most critics agree this is a fairly well put together game. But, considering the potential in the subject material, it’s disappointing to see such a by-the-numbers result.

I haven’t played Quantum of Solace on the DS. I can see that particular Nintendo portable device sitting on my coffee table, gathering a fine coat of dust on its lacquered black shell, a Gameboy Advance version of Pokemon Emerald wedged in its bottom. However, I have seen the film, which sees Bond on the trail of the elusive members of Quantum, a clandestine cabal plotting all manner of devious mischief. It’s essentially a chase film, the story an excuse to fill the empty spaces between action scenes with something more than thin air. But the set-pieces are something special, and if the DS version is anything like the film on a portable level, then it might be quite a fun little game to play whilst bored.

QoS is, mostly, an FPS, but at key moments it’ll pull back so you can witness Bond kick an enemy’s feet from under him and slam him bodily to the floor. The DS version utilizes the system’s touch-screen to aim, although exactly how precise or well-implemented this particular mechanic is remains a mystery to me. I played QoS on the 360, and it was a fairly average experience, although it has more to atone for as replicating a film on a portable gaming device is far harder than on the relatively powerful home consoles.

Left 4 Dead 2 £12.95 @ Zavvi [Xbox 360 Games]

Left 4 Dead 2 £12.95 @ Zavvi [Xbox 360 Games]Don’t let the above picture fool you. Left 4 Dead 2 isn’t a violent revenge policy on Australian cricket, courtesy of disgruntled England fans. It’s actually a fantastic zombie survival romp, which you can now pick up for a mere £12.95 at Zavvi!

While it doesn’t build on the formula the original concocted with as much effort and flair as you’d expect from a sequel, Left 4 Dead 2 does add plenty of new features and toys to muck around with, and a fair few new foes to scamper away from. For twelve quid, it’s a pretty good deal, and if you have a few friends willing to partner up, either off or online, it’s a blast.

Left 4 Dead 2 ditches the urban sprawl of the original for something a little more… rustic. Set in the deep South, a new band of survivors must traverse a deadly gauntlet of swamps, circus fairs and farmland, all crawling with zombies, to reach safe-houses and, eventually, rescue. It’s standard Left 4 Dead fare, as you scatter around, looking for more weapons and ammo, keeping the hoard at bay and avoiding any mistakes that might attract more of the undead to your imminent surroundings.

What sets Left 4 Dead apart from most shooters is what Valve dubs the ‘AI Director’. Instead of a pre-determined series of events, the AI Director monitors your progress on every playthrough, and determines what obstacles you must overcome. It’s entirely procedural, meaning you won’t see the same set-piece twice. Also new for the sequel is the inclusion of melee weapons, from clubs and baseball bats, all the way to katanas, which you can use to slice your foes up, severing arms from torsos, heads from necks.

QuakeCon 2010 Pack – 27 Games £50 @ Steam

QuakeCon 2010 Pack 27 Games £50 @ Steam

In celebration of this year’s annual QuakeCon event, Steam has compiled a bundle so amazing, I can barely believe my eyes. 27 id and Bethesda games for just £50! And when some of those games are Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, it’s a steal! Don’t hesitate.

It’s a truly extraordinary deal, as the cost of this bundle at the individual price of each game would in fact be £174.42, which means you save £124.43. Now I’m no mathematician. Far from it, in fact. I’m never trusted with duties that include numbers. But I know, with my numerically-challenged brain, that this is some deal!

It’s enough to last you for a life time. Seriously, if I were to be stranded on a desert island, and yet, for some inexplicable reason, was given the choice to bring something with me, I’d choose a PC and purchase this deal, pronto. Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls Oblivion alone have sucked hundreds of hours from millions of fans. You could relive the entire Doom and Quake series, or dabble in some obscure titles, like Call of Cthulu or Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders. Great name, by the way.

Whenever I write a deal, I’m often positive about it because it’s cheap and in this current climate of ever-increasing prices, it’s nice to find cheap games and good to buy them. But I couldn’t be more effusive about this deal. 27 games for 50 pounds? The list is incredible varied, too, with old-school and new-school FPS’, groundbreaking RPGs and quirky indies. Forgot parting with 50 bob for a full-price game. Buy 27, yes, 27 for the same damn price!

Bioshock Infinite Preview: Up, Up And Away?

Bioshock Infinite Preview: Up, Up And Away?

On their website, Irrational Games, developers of the first Bioshock and cult-classics such as System Shock and Tribes, has been teasing fans with drips of information on their new game, known only as ‘Project Icarus’. Speculation was rampant. A new IP? A System Shock remake? A revival of the Left 4 Dead-style title they released snippets of video from? Nope. Not even close. Irrational’s next game is Bioshock Infinite, the third entry in the series, and promises to be like no Bioshock you’ve seen before.

Columbia

Bioshock Infinite Preview: Up, Up And Away?

Whereas Bioshock 1 was based in an underwater dystopia, Infinite ditches the aquatic realm for something new entirely; the sky. Set aboard the floating metropolis of Columbia, Bioshock Infinite is an altogether different visual experience. Colossal chunks of Victorian masonry, adorned with American flags and kept afloat by an undercarriage of hot-air balloons, interlinked by ‘Skylines’, an almost roller coaster-like network of tracks and trams, suspended above clouds and thin air.

The story behind Columbia is relatively thin. It embarked on its sky-bound voyage in the early 20th Century, on a wave of optimism concerning new technologies. It was a roaming World’s Fair, a testament to America’s greatness. Until an international incident resulted in Columbia’s hasty departure, but not before it revealed it was heavily armed and not fond of following orders.

The rest of Columbia’s history is being closely guarded, and rightfully so. Rapture was a wonderful place to explore and discover, and Columbia should be, too. It promises to be an intriguing place, a floating, segmented world of new technology, hidden secrets and, in Bioshock tradition, feuding politics and philosophies. Already we’ve seen thugs dressed like Uncle Sam, enormous statues of maidens hoisting American flags. Not to mention the robots.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition £31.85 @ ShopTo [Xbox 360 Games]

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition £31.85 @ ShopTo [Xbox 360 Games]

Bad Company is the Three Kings to Call of Duty’s Saving Private Bond, and both titles continue to enjoy a healthy rivalry that might be upstaged by the imminent arrival of Medal of Honour. If you’re more of a Bad Company man, or girl, then this pre-order deal may interest you. Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition, the definitive version of the game, bundled with all the DLC including Onslaught Mode and exclusive unlocks, as well as a copy of Battlefield 1943, available now from ShopTo for just £31.85.

Averaging an 88 on MetaCritic, Bad Company 2 continued to demonstrate developers Dice’s expertise in the FPS genre. Whereas the likes of Call of Duty favour fast-paced, in some cases mindless action, Bad Company 2 is a tad more cerebral, or at least more cerebral than most games about shooting guys in the head. This Ultimate Edition packs a hell of a lot into one box, so if you missed out on BC2 when it dropped, don’t miss out on this.

The titular Bad Company are at it again, duking it out in tropical jungles and atop snow-capped mountains to prevent a shady chap from finding a potentially catastrophic super-weapon. BC2 differentiates itself from most FPS’ with the implementation of its trademark destruction tech, which allows you to bite chunks from the scenery. Got an enemy holed up in a building? Simply pump a grenade into the wall, toppling it and prying your foe from his shelter like a crab from under a rock!

Singularity £22.10 @ Tesco Entertainment [XBox 360 & PS3 Games]

Singularity £22.10 @ Tesco Entertainment [XBox 360 & PS3 Games]

You probably don’t own Singularity, in fact you’d be forgiven if you’d never even heard of the game considering the pathetic level of exposure it has received. This is a shame as it’s a decent title and a hell of a lot of fun and considering how cheaply it is available already, certainly worth picking up.

This is yet another deal that relies on the Tesco Entertainment 15% off promotional code (will it ever expire?!) but even before that is added, Tesco are boasting the best price of £26 for either console version. If you were to buy without the code then you’d stand to save £1 against the next best price (£26.99 from Gameplay), include it and you can save yourself nearly a fiver!

To chop the price down to £22.10 just enter the following voucher code at checkout: FTSL15-1

Singularity’s plot sure aint the most original of narratives but it is nonetheless engrossing. On the allegedly deserted Katorga-12 a team of Black Ops soldiers, headed by protagonist Nate Renko, are investigating the discovery of some highly abnormal radiation levels. Or at least that’s the plan; things go dreadfully awry when the plane gets hit by an EMP en route and the landing becomes a crash. From this point things take a turn for the decidedly bizarre as Renko discovers that those pesky Russians have discovered a way to time travel & transformed everybody on Katorga into cannibalistic monsters, all thanks to an incredibly radioactive new element that they have discovered.

The fact that the gameplay hooks are even less original than the premise, with elements nabbed from all over the gaming shop, is actually, in many ways, a very positive thing as it adds up to a conglomeration of awesomely fun gameplay pick and mix. Combat is robust, very enjoyable and never gets tedious. It’s even fun just to watch, regularly drenching the screen in satisfying globs of gore. There’s also a few clever puzzles thrown into the mix to keep you on your toes.  It’s certainly far from profound but it doesn’t really matter; Singularity is a riot from start to finish.

It’s not all good news of course. There’s a number of glitches sprinkled throughout proceedings and, visually speaking, Singularity is a bit behind the times and certainly nothing special. Furthermore its lack of originality means, that while fun, little of the game will stay with you after you have finished.

While I would say it is a real shame that the game has been so under-exposed and it is definitely worth giving Singularity a try, you might feel a little put out spending nearly £30 on it, so it’s probably worth waiting for the price to drop some more. After all at the rate it is sliding at the moment, it probably won’t be long before you can get it for a tenner!

Thanks to Sharky Rocks at Hotukdeals!
