Napoleon Total War is the next chapter in the critically acclaimed Total War series from The Creative Assembly. In a vividly detailed, war-torn world, players assume the role of Napoleon during his extraordinary rise to power. This epic RTS adventure follows Napoleons devastating path of conquest and victory through nearly two decades of warfare from the early Italian campaign to the Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon: Total War also marks the single biggest innovation in the history of the franchise with an integrated multiplayer campaign that allows two players to fight for control of the campaign map.

  • Stand-alone chapter brings Napoleon to life. Completely separate from Empire: Total War, Napoleon immerses players in a concentrated, gripping wartime experience with exciting battles, memorable characters and Total Wars award winning signature mix.
  • Three new episodic campaigns. Players can alter the course of history in objective-based missions across Europe. How they manage their troops across both land and sea can change the outcome of the war.
  • Cutting-edge multiplayer modes. For the first time, two players battle head-to-head online utilizing three new main campaign maps.
  • Enhanced units, graphics and deeper customization. A 19th Century technology tree and units created with extensive detail, animations and functionality gives players elaborate tactical options in epic-scale, real-time battles.

Xbox 360 Indie Game Review : Metronome HD

Xbox 360 Indie Game Review : Metronome HD

Metronome HD
Publisher: Yaystuff
Developer: Yaystuff
Platforms: Xbox 360 
Release Date: February 19th, 2010

Quote:

GamePlay:
Metronome HD is a metronome simulator for your TV. By moving the Joystick you can adjust the BPM (Beats per Minute) and set the rhythm that you want. You can also use the directional pad to get a more precise BPM. Up and down on the directional pad changes the BPM by 1, and left and right changes the BPM by 10. You can choose a BPM between 60 and 800, enabling a rhythm for any type of song you want to play.

I don’t usually play my guitar, but I pulled it out just so I can play a bit on different metronomes. I have to admit, that I couldn’t tell a difference between using my actual metronome and the one on Metronome HD. The only real downside is that I don’t make it a habit of practicing in front of my Xbox 360, but now that I have Metronome HD this could change. I can talk to my friends over Xbox live while practicing.

Metronome HD offers something that a normal metronome would never give you. At 666BPM the entire background bursts into flames. This little addition made me laugh really hard when I first discovered it. At first when I was scrolling through all the BPM I thought there was a graphic bug, but I slowly pin pointed the location of the graphic change. When the background burst into flames I started laughing.

Overview:
As a game I can only give Metronome HD 1 capsule out of 10; however, since metronome HD was never meant to be a game, but rather a simulator, I must rate it according to how well it succeeds in its goal. Metronome HD recreates a very helpful metronome that keeps rhythm just like a normal metronome, and for only 80MSP ($1) it is much cheaper than a real one. So the final score for Metronome HD is 9 capsules out of 10, based entirely on the game replacing a normal metronome. If you are looking for a metronome, I would suggest to pick up Metronome HD. Classic metronomes are outdated, virtual metronomes are the new big thing!

9-0-capsules-out-of-10

Pros
• Metronome HD is cheap replacement for a real metronome.
• It keeps accurate rhythm between 60BPM and 800BPM.
• 666BPM can replace the fireplace indie game.

Cons
• It is simply just a metronome simulator.
• Not everyone practices their instruments in the same room as their Xbox360.
• 666BPM, although funny, is very distracting.

What do you think of this cool little simulator.  Indi games are very handy and here at Capsule Computers we would like to see and share out more great little games/simulators like this.

If your an indie developer and would like to have your game reviewed on Capsule Computers.  Drop us an email at [email protected] and we will be more than happy to help.
