This is going to be shorter than I'd like because the biggest issues I have is HOW the story is told not the content itself but how it's written. I can't go into it without spoilers which is a major problem when reviewing this game. Let's start with gameplay. The controls are very fluid and they make combat easy. Sony has also included options to make it even easier. For example you can disable weapon away or change…
On PC or Xbox you can modify the game to see the original kill scenes. They had to be edited because the ESRB gave the game an AO rating. Overall the game is a good time. Without the mod it's less violent but it's still a good 3rd person shooter for it's time. In fact I remember it being one of my favorite games for quite a while. It's not often we see a comic book character done right in a game but the developers…
I loved the original Red Faction on the PS2. Geomod was mind blowing at time. You could spend hours just tunneling through the map. Modern day Red Faction is a bit different. It still uses Geomod technology but the days of tunneling through a map are long gone. Now you use the physics based destruction to take down buildings and bridges. Im going to keep this one short and sweet. The game is fun. Blowing up things…
First off 90% of the graphical issues are due to drivers. They will be fixed** so don't worry about that. I'm playing on a laptop which I hook up to my TV via HDMI. I run the game at 1080p with vsync on and 16x anti aliasing. It runs so smooth and overall looks really good. Towns and zones look a lot better than the wasteland overworld. Character models are incredible and so is the animation. They have some of the…
Ive put about 7 hours into Dead Space 2 so far and I've loved every second of it. Im glad they moved the game to a setting that allows a larger variety in level design. The first game was really good but everything looked the same which is the reason I never beat it. I never felt like I was going anywhere. Like I said that isnt an issue in Dead Space 2. There are plenty of areas to the game and all of them have…
Short and sweet here. This DLC is worth the 400 points it cost. Its not incredibly long but the content within is well made and fills in some nice backstory. Its also cool to go back to the Spencer Mansion even if it has been changed around. If you were a fan of RE5 in anyway check this out you wont be let down. The graphics are great, the story is decent and the gameplay is tried and true. By the time you're done…
The Force Unleashed was heralded as the next coming in not only Star Wars games but also action games in general. 3 Complex middleware engines tied together for the first time would bring on an experience like none other. The game doesnt live up to its own vision but it's one hell of a first step. The Euphoria engine is what runs the animation and AI in the game and for the most part it works quite well. Your…
The Legacy of Kain series has always had one of the BEST storylines in the history of gaming, no other series has sucked me into its world like LOK games have, with a rich plot and loads of twists and turns I expected nothing but the best in Blood Omen 2 (xbox). Graphics -7 This is an obvious PS2 Port, and no IM not poking at the PS2's lack of pinash in the graphics dept., They are good, but not xbox good, textures…
I have never been a fan of RTS games in any way, whether it on console or PC. The pacing just never did it for me. Im more of an action game or racing game kinda guy. I ended up buying this game mainly for my Girlfriend who I have yet to let play. Never has a RTS made me want to keep playing but I just couldnt stop. The controls are simple to use and the interface is quick and clean which is not something we see…
