Nuage Impressions

The title screen of Nuage featured menus of Play, Directions, Options, Credits and Exit. The button layout via the Xbox 360 gamepad: LS-to move and collect clouds, RT-to use rain (5 clouds needed), LT-to use lightning. Lightning gives you extra rain time. The controls are good in Nuage. The controls were good in that they caused no stress which is Nuage's presentation's angle. Judging from the buttons you can probably put together some of Nuage's gameplay. Your goal is to change the landscape by growing plants, flowers and bushes through the use...

We begin our story with a petty fisher. Your typical nobody main character whose village is attacked by a murderous dragon.

Resistance 3 Review

Release Date: September 6, 2011Publisher: SonyMPAA Rating: MatureHaving very few friends, I hadn't really been impressed with the recent rash of video games boasting cooperative play or multiplayer features. If I were more popular, I thought, maybe I'd like them. But for all the multiplayer action I usually get I might as well have just one PS3 controller.
