Star Trek Online: Uniforms

In Star Trek Online, if you haven't guessed already, it is possible to edit your uniform by visiting a tailor. The tailor allows you to edit the uniform of you and your crew. This is accomplished by picking a template, choosing a colour palette, and swapping the palette, in some cases. Every week, I will post a new canon uniform guide. The uniform guide this week is from the episode All Good Things and Endgame, the last episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager, respectively. That's all for now, folks.

MotorStorm Artic Edge

MotorStorm is a series of aggressive racing games. Since I never played any of the other games for more than an hour this will not be judged against any of the other games. Likely for all you folk, I have played it on PSP andPS2 so I know both sides of the game. The game is like a see saw. The gameplay is great since all vehicles are fun to play and have different attributes. The small vehicles are fast but crash easily. Trucks and snowplows are slow but can run over the small vehicles.

The maps are fairly large but not too large that you drive for minutes before you actually reach the finish. Even if that happens (which it shouldn't) the boost makes forward driving faster. The AI makes the difficulty slope quick for finishing minutes before everyone to finish with nanoseconds ahead. Even the easy AI is hard since you can still crash from the maps. They have cliffs, mud slides, avalanches, ice, random pieces of metal and really bad respawn points. An example of that is I was doing a speed race. I didn't make a turn quick enough and they threw me in front of a jump, I couldn't get enough speed to jump so I hit the edge of the jump, killing my car and I fell into an abyss. This made me rage quit. Back to the subject, there is enough to keep you winning in the maps.

The controls are good. The only problem is looking around, since you can't look back and steer since you either use your steering thumb to look back or your boosting hand which slows you down. This results in them passing you or you crashing. I hope you are too distracted to turn back and look at the on coming wave of things trying to A) run you over B) kick you C) push you to your doom or D) win the race. One problem I noticed on PS2 and not on PSP is the screen shots. I used to get pictures of random things but the PS2 can't do that.

The graphics aren't half bad. Remember, you'll be comparing this to the PS3 if you seen one. This is the PS2 the slower older brother of the PS3. The music is catchy and never gets old. I'll just let it stop there.

I give this game 90/100 flying cyclist
