Rocking The Cardboard Armor As I Slay My Foes #InfinityBlade
Infinity Blade II Vault of Tears Picture Teaser
If you have an iPad and you haven’t downloaded Infinity Blade II yet then stop reading and go do that. For those that have and play it regularly most of you know that it recently received an update called the Vault of Tears. The update is far from a slap in the face though as it takes some digging on your part to find the maps, routes and hidden items in this new update. Once you do though you’ll be rewarded with a special surprise and gamers will finally get a glimpse of who Siris is. You’ll need to collect all the pieces of the Vile armor but once you do follow the maps to open the vault and claim your prize.
Infinity Blade II Update:Vault Of Tears (Updated)
Infinity Blade II Update:Vault Of Tears
The Vault Of Tears update for Infinity Blade II came out this morning and I am pretty excited. I could go on and on about how great the Infinity Blade series is but most of you already know that. As of yet I’ve only gotten about fifteen minutes into the update but changes are obvious. The characters now have a more fluid movement and even sound effects have been improved along with color and graphic quality. Their are now maps you can earn or purchase though as of yet I haven’t been able to figure them out. Different pathways are clearly marked but are currently blocked to, so we’ll see where those go. Right after my victory as my character approaches the courtyard I noticed a shifty little character moving about the rafters though who or what that is I’ve yet to find out. As I said I am only 15 minutes into it but will update my review more later. Right now as always expected from Chair the graphics and game play are amazing and only just got better.
(update 5/25)
I got about an hour in last night and uncovered one secret spot where I had to defeat a new titan in a coffin. The trail at the beginning branches off to the right down to gully where you can choose from three different paths, this is where map comes in handy which you can buy in the store. After months of play and having maxed out my equipment I had a nice little stockpile of gold to purchase the maps. Their cryptic but helpful take your time to look around and check things out and you’ll be rather surprised. As far as quality and new content goes its hit and miss so far. The game improvements and graphic fluidness is very obvious but I am still waiting to see where this expanded story leads. With the long weekend coming up hopefully I’ll have more to add to this soon.

The New iPad As The Next Gaming Console
To deny the iPad’s gaming capability would be more than ignorant whether referencing the” New iPad” or the iPad 2. The graphics for games such as Infinity Blade are precise and crisp the latest iPad’s CPU only adds to strengthen that. With graphics processing capabilities to rival that of the current XBOX 360 and PS3 the iPad is both a mobile and console gaming platform to be recon with. At least it could be as it currently stands it’s missing a couple key elements.
The lack of physical controls is a huge one, though Epic Games has done a great job with the Infinity Blade Series and innovative touch controls, it’s still not the same. Now there are a few developers out their working on that, the problems they run into is getting the App programmers to integrate the controller code into their games. Though the codes are often free they require extra programming and the decision of which controller to pick. To get that actual controller in your hands for an iPad is really going to require one of two things. One Apple could make a physical controller and honestly I don’t know if that’s just a dream or not it would at least give game developers one controller platform to work with. The other option is the creation of an app similar to Joypad but done by Apple which would turn your iPhone or iPod into a controller for the iPad. The other key element lacking are console quality games however Mike Capps President of Epic Games said “Apple is definitely building their devices as if they care a lot about ‘triple-A’ games” and if anybody would know he would. If that’s true than drawing game developers or games already in the works to deliver that console quality probably won’t be a problem for Apple.
