Grid released by CodeMasters is a stylish version of the racing game and has got enough to be admired by the gamers. Besides PC, PS3 and Xbox Grid was also released for Nintendo DS controls. The game faced a stiff competition with ‘Need For Speed:Pro Street’ but has outmatched it in every possible aspect of racing.

The best feature of this racing game is the ability to rewind the time as in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. However there is a limit on the number of times it can be dome. The game also holds an instant replay feature that permits to look back at what has happened for the past 10 seconds.

The race types include open ones, GT races and another special one named ‘demolition derbies’. The game is definitely fast paced and offers enough to keep the racers stuck to their consoles. The simulation of real time racing is very successful and the sound effects adds much more originality. As said million times the damage being done to cars is very unrealistic in NFS racing series and you would find the straight opposite in Grid. Better concentrate on the road or you will be finding your ride is nothing but colorfully painted trash.

The multiplayer mode is superb and so are the visual and graphic standards. Special effort has been given to add a stylish touch to the game. The difficulty is realistic and need some substance to get through the challenges. Though it is attempted to simulate racing it has become some sort of arcade game. Yet it never fails to deliver the intended fun. The controls are way too sensitive compared to other racing games and can make or break the game. If you are looking for a realistic version of racing simulation ‘Grid’ is probably waiting for you at the stores.

Prototype is yet another action packed game giving the player to complete the objectives roaming freely through the city ofManhattan. No one what is so special aboutManhattanthat it is being targeted in so many fiction-based movies and games.

The game begins inManhattanwhere the people are affected by a potentially dangerous viral outbreak and the military are trying their best to put an end to it. You play the game as a protagonist Alex Mercer who has more-than-human powers and special enemy absorbing skills to take on enemies easily. You can take the physical forms of your enemies by absorbing them thus providing multiple ways to complete the game’s objectives.

Alex can perform superman kind of stunts like jumping hundreds of metres high into the sky, run through buildings fighting against gravity and so on. A notable move in combating technique is sliding through the ground using your enemy’s body as surfboard. Alex is gifted with a wide variety of melee attacks and ground fighting techniques that adds variety to the game. This keeps the gamers from feeling bored due to same fighting moves. Also the enemies aren’t easy to kill as in major action games and that makes it more challenging.

Alex’s major power lies in shape transformation. Believe me he can transform himself into a machine of modern weapons as you see in cartoons. The more bio mass Alex uses the more deadly are his attacks. The highest level of attack is called “devastator” which kills an enemy in a single attack by using maximum amounts of bio mass.

The game’s positive is its not-so-complex story line in spite of having very complex logic behind it, variety of missions that need not be accomplished in fixed manner, breath taking combat moves and added additional challenge modes. Though the game is difficult for normal gamers it never irritates as the missions can be accomplished after repeated gaming and trying out different strategies. Except for its dull scenery the game is a must for all PC gamers!
