What is Knack?

News

Knack is certainly not a game with a strong storyline, or superb graphics; it’s a game that’s there to provide family fun, and it does just that.

With Knack it’s up to you to escape the goblin army and save humanity. It’s based around a very odd hero called… Yep you guessed it, Knack. He is extremely small and not very significant to look at, but he can transform into a colossal giant.

The world it is set in is unique and it turns into a classic adventure with various powers.

Games to Films

Games

We often hear about game adaptations from films, but there are beginning to be more and more cases of film adaptations from games. Prince of Persia was a big hit in the gaming world, but it did well in cinemas too.

There was also Lara Croft films after the game, while Need for Speed is to be released in cinemas soon, and that made its name as a game. It goes to chow that some games do have some very strong storylines, and even those that don’t like Need for Speed, there’s still the popularity to turn it into a film that people love.

One game that could certainly have a life in a film series is Grand Theft Auto and there are so many different storylines to follow. Yet it is important not make sure the storyline for the film has what it takes to be a big hit, and you still need a good scriptwriters and directors.

Why Grand Theft Auto V is Still Going Strong

Games

GTA 5 also known as Grand Theft Auto V was a huge boost for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. It was released on the ‘old’ consoles just before the release of next gen consoles, and the game will not be out for quite some time on the new consoles.

It may be noted as the game that kept people clinging on to their old consoles rather than buying the PS4 and the XBOX 360, and it’s certainly proved to be the biggest selling game of the last decade. It’s a clever release because when the game does come out on next gen consoles the creators will make money all over again.

GTA is essentially a game that’s competing with newer games on the newest consoles, as it stands, and it’s still making strong sales. It will be important to see whether people buy the game over again when it’s released on new consoles, but it’s unlikely to beat the sale sit has made on the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 4.

Preowned Games set to Continue

Games

Many people opt to buy preowned games to cut down costs and that trend is set to continue with both Microsoft and Sony stating that games for their consoles can be resold. It is understandable that people seek ways to cut down the prices of games, and if you’re more than happy to buy a used game then you may find you’ve saved heaps of cash.

There was talk before the consoles came out that Sony and Microsoft may prevent preowned games, but that’s not proved to be the case and its great news for companies selling games. Prices for preowned next gen games can vary, and there are now many websites selling preowned games online, while others are selling their own used games through various ecommerce websites such as eBay and Amazon.

If you’re looking to cut down cost then we recommend you buy used games, but that’s not always possible with the latest releases, and you should always look into the reputation of the company or person selling you the game.

Dusting off the Vintage Games

Games

Every once in a while it can be good to make a switch from next gen gaming back to retro gaming. The old games like Mario, Rayman and Sonic were all big hits back in the day and they’re still surviving today.

We feel as though it’s important to remember where these good games came from in the first place, and by dusting off your old consoles and vintage games you’ll be able to step back into your childhood.

There are so many titles out there and if you have been a massive gamer for years then there’s a good chance you’ve kept your old consoles. You can by versions of old games, but it’s not the same as playing on the old consoles with the scart lead, game cartridge and the old controller design. If you’re looking to have evenings of gaming then don’t forget the old games because it can be fun to go back to the games you used to play every now and then.
