SOCOM has great online multiplayer witch is its biggest feature. SOCOM also has a campaign to, and it is comprised of 12 missions from different areas of operation. Each mission has you gathering intel or capturing enemies, and using stealth to kill your enemies, or make them surrender.

Kirby'd Dream Land is about a pink ball shaped character. And you go around sucking in your enemies. You then can shoot out the enemies to kill other enemies in your path. This game is a platforming game, and is very fun and good to look at. The control for this game is very well executed, using the d pad to move around, and up to fly, and your jump button, as well as the sucking move. There are four stages…
This game has resembling looks to the earlier DBZ games released for the Super Famicom in Japan. It is a fighting game with 2D character sprites in a 3D backround with almost no detail at all. This game plays very poor and isn't very fun, and will leave very frustrated. The voicing wasn't translated, so it's still in Japanese. The control is very clunky, and the game does not play smoothly what so ever. There are a…
Mortal Kombat is like your typical fighting game, where you go one on one until the timer runs out or the first person to have their health drained. Your attacks are punch, kick, and you can execute special moves for each character by doing a button combination, and/or a sweep of the d pad. On single player you pick your character and go through a battle tower fighting opponents until you reach the top, which can be…
Street Fighter is your basic fighting game, but its the game that pretty much created and set the standard for all fighting games to com. The graphics and look for this game were out right gorgeous. The control has never been more tight in any other game than SF II. The arcade mode is where you pick 1 of 12 characters and battle through all characters, then vs 2 bosses. Secondly, the soundtrack for this game is so…
Call of Duty 4 is an average first person shooter, but executes it extremely well. This campaign is full of action packed modern combat, and engaging missions full of surprises. The situations in each mission, including locations are done very well and keeps me very satisfied. The shooting mechanic works really well, also giving you a button to sprint which was a fairly new concept for the FPS. The guns you use in…

Army Men 3D is a 3rd person shooter, pretty much just running and gunning. Over the course of the game, you complete missions and do various objectives, which can be very challenging and frustrating. the shooting is real stiff, and the character movement is too fast to really have a good complete control over your character. The environments are very bland looking, and the presentation isn't very good. Also the…

You can use many different weapons, with silencers to take out enemies without setting off an alarm. The goal in this game is mainly to get undetected, using stealth techniques get get by enemies in each little area. But you can take out…
This game is like your every average fighting game, 2 vs 2 and using punch and kick buttons, as well as combos to do special moves. You choose from 10 fighters from the Marvel universe, and 2 unlockables. You go through the arcade mode and fight every fighter in random order, then the 2 booses(whom you unlock) Doctor Doom, and Thanos. The game gives some difficulties to choose from. I've enjoyed the game a lot, and…
This game is one of the best 16 bit looking games out there. The level design is very well done and looks fantastic. The backround effects while you are playing are also astounding. On top of all of that is the gameplay, from the smooth control to the very very fast action, with the exception of Marble Zone which I am not a very big fan of. Even with todays standards it is one of the fastest games out there. The…

This game consists of one pinball machine that takes up 2 screens with paddles on each. You start out by shooting a ball and hit the ball with your paddles to hit objects and demons circling pentagrams to gain points and pull off combos. This game has one level, but bosses will occur when you hit the ball into a hole and can be very challenging. Also, you can hit the ball into other holes to cause others things…
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is probably the best game to hit the Playstation 3 (exclusive) since Metal Gear Solid 4. The visuals are excellent in 720p, and the gameplay mechanics work very well, with a few exceptions (sometimes can be a little struggle when wanting to climb or jump). The campaign is varied in difficulties, going from pretty darn easy, to probably going to make you throw your controller a few times…
