Five year ago Epic Games release Gears of war and now after three games closes the book and answers all the question finally, or does it? you play as Marcus Fenix a leader of a group that is trying to stop the Locust in an all out war. Marcus finds out the where about of his father that he thought was died and he has a way to finish the Locust one and for all. The story is thrilling and some what sad, it is a great…
Every year Activision puts Spider-man game and with each game I feel that this game franchise will end up like Tony Hawk, wont take a break, comes out with a peripheral and die a slow death. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is not helping the franchise become like Tony Hawk. This game is missing one key element, story. Spider-man trying to stop Mysterio from stealing a tablet.Spider-man punches it, breaking it…
In my last review I mentioned a game called Call of Juarez: The Cartel a few times. Well After writing that review I had the dumb idea to why not rent it and review it. From everything I heard about this game when it came out, nothing has been fixed. I never played a Call of Juarez game and you don't need to because all this game has to do with the other games is that Ben McCall is descendant of Ray McCall. You play…
When I first heard about Dead island I thought it sounded new and fun, then I hear that it is from the makers of Call of Juarez: The Cartel . Check out this review to see to see how bad the game is . Lucky Dead island doesn't have as many problems with it then The Cartel does. You play as one of four people who is vacationing on the island, the happen out break happens and you are knocked out. You awake and find out…
With all the detective shows on TV I have seen I thought I would be a good detective, boy was I wrong . LA Noire showed me that I am the worst at it. You play as Cole Phelps a war vet that starts out a street cop and works his way up. The story in-game is great but needed more back story on Cole family life, there a twist in the game that involves Cole's family. When this happen I didn't know that Cole was married…
The Summer of arcade on Xbox 360 start off with a bang with the game Bastion. I wont Talk about the story of the game at all, I feel that saying anything about it is spoiling the story. I will just say that it is a good story. The game play is easy and fun, you have a melee attack and a shooting attack. Along the way you gain more weapons and you can upgrade these weapons to be more powerful, have more chance of a…
These days when a retail game comes out for twenty dollars, odds are it is not a good game. Deadly Premonition is a diamond in the rough, it may look like shit but man it is a great game. You play as Francis York Morgan but you can call him york because everyone does. He is on the FBI and on his way to Greenville for a lead to a murder case he is on. Greenville is a small town and this help with the game because…
Lets get this out of the way now, it's not an open world sandbox like Guerrilla . The game gives you a piss poor reason why it's not at the start of the game. You play as Darius Mason , grandson of Alec Mason from Guerrilla. Darius and the Red faction are trying to stop Adam Hale (cult leader) from destroying Terraformer, with out this sand storms will pop up and will make it impossible to live on the surface.…
The game been in development for 14 years and 4 developer companies worked on, the game that could have full-blown documentary be made for, Duke Nukem Forever has finally come out. Some people had big expectations for this game, I don't. I expected Duke and that's what I got. The game play feels like Duke nukem 3D, go around killing aliens, picking up their weapons along the way and a boss here and there. The game…
Duke nukem 64 is the 3rd game from 3D Realms. If you are wondering what the story about go look somewhere else. I could not read the story that was played in the begin of the game, it was going to fast. There are 29 levels and 3 bosses in the game. The aliens are spread out so you wont be over whelmed by them. A lot of the enemies will go down with a few shoots but there are mini bosses in some level and take a bit…
Disclamer I dont remember the begain of the game very well, it was 7 months ago when I started this game. Sorry if I am wrong with anything, let me know and I will change it. Almost two years after the first Dark Cloud Level 5 releast Dark cloud 2. When I found this out after playing through the first game I had my douts that they improved the game in any way, boy was I wrong. They have fixed every that (I can think…
Sonic the hedgehog is a game that can hold the test of time. This Sonic game is good but not the best. If you have no clue what Sonic the hedgehog then where have you been? You are a fast hedgehog and you run around collecting rings and defeating a evil doctor. The graphics are a little fuzzy but great. With the music you won't get it out of your head. And the game play, well I miss not be able to do a speedy spin…
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is more fast pas game with the 1st Sonic. What makes it more fast pas is the speedy spin dash (sorry if that not the name of that move). This game also introduces us to Tails, a hedgehog with 2 tails that can spin fast and he can fly for around 10 to 15 seconds. The bonus levels got moved from the end of the level where you get a certain number of rings there would be a huge ring. Now the bonus…
Sonic the hedgehog 3 is the best of the 3. Not only you can play as Sonic but as Tails as well. You get 2x more game play, Tail can fly to places Sonic cant and Sonic and use special attacks when he has 1 of the fore fields on him. The evil villain is his game is a different hedgehog name Knuckles. He is super fast as Sonic and he has the ability to fly. The graphs are great just as in 2 but the bonus levels have…
Glover really doesn’t have a story. A wizard is making a potion and it go wrong and his 2 gloves fly off and come alive, one good (that you) and 1 bad. You need to 6 worlds and get a ball and roll it though the levels and battle a boss at the end of the world. When you have all 6 balls the game is over, which I thought it would continue. This game is short; I finish the game in 3 hours. The graphs are good; there…
Grand theft auto: San Andreas is a game where there’s always something to do. In the game you play as Carl Johnson; five years ago Carl abandoned Los Santos after a gang killed his brother. Recently gang member toke the life of his mother and Carl returns for the funeral and to avenge her death. In the Mean mission Carl go around trying to get his hood back but forget about it and tries to make a better life for him…
Mario kart 64 is a remake of the classic Super Mario kart for the SNES. This game plays up to 4 players. There are 8 characters to choose from. Mario, Luigi, Princess, Toad, Yoshi, Donkey, Wario, and Brower. There are 16 tracks spit in to 4 cups. The graphs are great. I like the different colors that are is the grass. In the rainbow track there are great looking neon stars and mushrooms. The sound is also great, the…
Grand theft auto: Vice City has very great 1980’s felt to it. Vice City took the look of popular TV and movies like Scarface and Miami Vice. This GTA is short there are only 21 mean missions in this. Then there are a few side mission, jumps, and hidden packages. This game introduces bike and chopper for the first time. It is hard to find a chopper but easy to fly. There is not much roads in the game. The land is 2…
Spiderman 2 is an easy game, I finish it in 3 in a half hours. In the game you run around beating up evil villains like Rhino, Mysterio, and Dr. Oct. The bad guys that follow the villains some have guns the shot these power ball that are slow. Some of the bad guys go down with three hit. One type of bad guy you had to web them in the face and hit them quick before a force field comes up, this bad guy I like because…
The Ooze was only released in Japan but you can find it in Sonic mega collect plus. The story to the game is Dr. Caine, an excellent scientist who invented achromatic, odorless toxic gas and its antidote, sneaked into the research lab he worked for in order to find evidence those crimes were being conducted by using the toxic gas he created. He was discovered by his colleagues and done away with by his own toxic…

Belze wants the god hand, with the help of Arel, Elvis, Shannon, and their minions go after Gene for the god hand. In the game you have 114 techniques to use and buy and you can make up combos with them. There are 29 roulette moves; you must have orbs to use this. Some take 1 other that are stronger take 2 or 3. And there’s…

In each level there are 20 Kraby patties and if you collect them all you get a bonus level. The first few levels are too easy but then…

X-Men: Mutant academy just looks good. That’s it the graphs are the best thing in game because everything else sucks. Story mode in the game has no story. It shows the Professor looking at a monitor and then the fighting begins, that’s a story? The fight is just kicking and some punch and some use their power and there are 1 or 2 special moves. There is this rage gauge it doesn't do anything. I push every button and…
In Diddy Kong racing you race around collect balloons to get to the other tracks. There are 5 areas to find tracks. Each area has four normal tracks, a bonus level where you collect coins and a boss track that’s where you race against a big animal. After you win the four normal tracks you race the boss and when you beat him is where the game takes a bad turn. The boss challenges you to race the four tracks again and…
Pokemon Fire red and leafy green is basically an improved version of the first Pokemon games for the Gameboy (red and blue version). You start off as a new comer in the world of Pokemon and you go see professor Oak to pick out your 1st Pokemon like in most of the Pokemon games. You can choose three different type of Pokemon; grass, fire or water. Then you are off to battle eight gym leader and lots of Pokemon…
James Bond 007 in Agent under Fire has an original story in the game. The story about stopping an evil organization from cloning world leaders, very good story would like to see it be made in to a movie. The game play is bad at most places, for example the A.I. I could be beside a bad guy and shoot him once he won’t move. The worst thing on the game is the bullet. One problem is the bullet speed just looks to slow.…
Enter the Matrix is a side story to the movies the Matrix reloaded and the Matrix revolutions. The story follows the missions of Niobe and Ghost. You choose one of these two people to play the game as. You get different games with each one but mostly just going a other way to finish the task in hand. Some level are different where you ether drive (play as Niobe) or shoot (play as Ghost). The story doesn’t add too…
The classic card game Uno is on the xbox 360. You can play with computer or with people over xbox live. You can chat and view people who have them xbox cams. You can play a regular game or you can change the rules like draw card until you get a card you can put down or point total for a win. You can also play two on two. The Achievements are easy to get I got all but two in a few hours. The graphs are great, in the…
X men 3 the official game is not like the movie. It’s like a bad side story of x men 2. The gang has to go back to the lake for parts to Cerebro then try to stop these huge robots that hunt mutant. In the game you play as Wolverine, Iceman or Nightcrawler. Playing as Wolverine feels to button masher, it’s mostly fighting a group of bad guys at once. With Nightcrawler it’s just go here and teleport there and fight…
Shadow of the Colossus is a game where you battle 16 huge creatures. You play a young guy that needs to save his wife/girlfriend and needs to kill for all the giant creatures that are in village so some magic force saves her. I got lost in the story and watch others played it a few times and Im still a bit lost. Other than not understanding the story Shadow of the Colossus still a fun unique game. You are armed them…
God of war has it all. A great story, Graphics, and Game play. The story feels like it from a Hollywood movie. It starts at the top of tallest mountain in Greece with Kratos stand at the edge of the cliff. Kratos says “the gods of Olympias has abandoned him. Kratos walked off mountain falling to death. Just before he hit the water the game flashback three weeks earlier and you start the game. That scene makes me…
In the game tanx a deadly virus wipes out most of the female on earth. The few remaining woman left are gathered by marauding gangs who rule this post apocalyptic world. You play as Griffin Spade and your mission is to go across the radioactive wasteland that was American and find your girlfriend. There are 17 levels in single player. The levels are small but filled with enemies. There are small run bots and huge…
Every time a Grand theft auto copy cat game comes out the fans say it’s a rip off of it. Well they are right this about saints row. In saints row you join a gang that is looking to clean the city from the other 3 gangs. The missions in the mean story are too much alike, go here and kill these gang members or pick up this. There are 3 small stories instead of one big one but they all connect at the end. What’s…
Fuzion frenzy 2 is a party game with 40 mini games but most of the games are the same. There are a few fighting games, button matching and coin collecting. Most of the games are button mashers. The games are easy and can master then quick. The graphs are ok but look last gen. There are some problems with the camera; in some games it is hard to tell distances and height. The sound is the worst; I thought the…
Grand theft auto 3 is the first time the series went 3D. One and two were top down 2D. It’s also the First time the game has a story. Some guy (never gives a name is the story) get betrayed by a woman during a bank robbery and goes to jail. When he and a few other prisoners get transferred one of the prisoner’s guys comes and breaks him out and letting you and 8 ball free. 8 ball helps you find work and thus the…
