Uncharted: Among Thevies/PS3

This single game makes me long for a PS3. UAT Is about the Treasure hunter Nathan Drake. He is, once again, looking for riches all over the world. This is the most solid 3rd person game I have ever played. But not only does UAT have great shooting gameplay, It also has great platforming parts. You jump, swing, and blast your way across rooftops and achient ruins. The Graphics are also the best I’ve ever seen. Play it? YES!!! A game that is virtually flawless, excpet 1 thing….. Its a PS3 exclusive! I give this a 95/100. Not suggested for kids under 12.

The Conduit/Wii

A bland shooter with shaky controls. The conduit is about aliens invading earth and you have to kill them all. About the only thing fun about the conduit is that you get to use the Wii gun to shoot aliens. Play it? No, Play COD if you want to play a Wii shooter. I give this a 35/100.

Mini Ninjas/Wii

A very weak platformer for the wii. You play as hikiu, a ninja who runs around and kills red ninjas who turn into animals when defeated. IT was very dull and had no storline from what I could see. It is also very easy, in the 2 hours I played i didnt die once. Play it? Please dont, the only good thing are the Wii good graphics. I give this a 25/100.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2/X360

Forget WAW, on second thought, forget every FPS you own and go get MW2. The best thing about MW2 is the new Special Opps mode. In SO mode you get to due all these awesome missions, such as driving down a mountain on a snowmobile with a full auto pistol, or getting a huge arsenal and just going around beating on a some terrorists. The second best thing about MW2 is the HUGE selection of awesome guns. I have personally tried quite a lot of them and they are all individually fun to shoot, from the full auto shotgun, The striker, to the Infrared sniper rifle, to the P90 machine gun. Play it? YES! I can personally say I expected a lot of this game and it didnt fall short on anything! I give this a 110/100. Not suggested for kids under then 14, in MW2 there is no gore, but still a lot of blood and no reduced version. Continue reading ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2/X360′

Skate 2/X360

A sequel to my favorite sports game. S2 has a lot of new features, such as a much, much better crash system, you can get off your skateboard, and there is a ton more security. The disappointment with this game is the graphics. Skate had exceptional graphics, so i expected S2 to have a even ones. The problem was the Graphics have not improved whatsoever, yea, there still great, but they should have improved. I have mixed feelings about S2, I cant really say that this game is better then Skate, but it is very fun game that any skateboard fan should own. Play it? Yes, please BUY both Skate and Skate 2. I give this a 80/100. Not suggested for kids under 12, due to language and the difficulty.

Speed racer/wii

This game has some fun stuff, but the bare thin gameplay and terrible graphics. There is no story, you pick 1 of 4 people to play as, you then race on tracks to try and win. It’s very bland, with only the slight fun of beating your friend. Play it? no, much better racing games. I give this a 30/100.

Star wars the clone wars: lightsaber duels/ wii

A very shallow beat em up arena style game. This game is an epic fail. Ya, you can swing the Wii remote accurately and try and rack up combos, or you can swing the Wii remote wildly and beat any opponent in the game. STCWLD requires 0 skill, a 10 year old could beat a sponsored gamer if he can shake the Wii remote faster. Play it? No, Tekken, Virtue fighter, and mortal kombat are examples of much better brawler’s. I give this a 35/100.

Trama Center: New blood/Wii

A very unique doctor sim. This game pits you in a manga style world where your the best doctor in the world. You have a mystical power called the healing tough that lets you slow down time and save people from the brink of death. Sound cheesy? But actually most of TCNB is very serious, adrenaline pumping, life and death situations. The game makes you care about your patients, and with a clock and heartbeat monitor always working against you it get’s pretty nerve racking. Play it? Yes, this game sucks you in despite the very hard difficulty. I give this a 65/100. Not suggested for kids under 13, due to intense themes and hard difficulty, the positive is that you learn quite a bit about medical procedure.

Batman: Arkham Asylum/X360

This is not only the best Batman game ever made, it’s the Best platformer on the Xbox 360. This game has a very good plot, despite a few dumb parts. BAA is about batman bringing in the joker. But as soon as The joker is out of Batman’s hands, he breaks free and takes over AA. The boss battles are a bit dull, considering the usually fast paced game. The best parts of BAA are when you are pitted against a dozen or so heavily armed henchmen in a room full of gargoyles. You simply swing from one gargoyle to the next taking foe down by dropping on top of them and knocking them unconscious. This is a stealth game, but there is quite a bit of beat em’ up action too. The biggest surprises are when you face scarecrow, he will pop out at you, sory you in the face with fear gas, and then you must fight him in his world. Trust me this game has pleny of thrills and chills to even give someone like me nightmares. Oh, and the riddles! Throughout AA there are 240 riddles for you to solve. Some are as easy as finding a trophy, some you must find a staue/painting/object, but some are as hard as finding how a ? lines up in a huge area. Play it? Yes, a epic game no gamer should miss completing. I give this a 90/100. Not suggested for kids under 14, much more intense then a lot of M games.

Halo 3: ODST/X360

This game probably has some of the best multi-player out there, even if the campaign is a bit worse then 3. The biggest fault of ODST is the health system, In campaign you actually have health, so if you take damage you have to go around and try and find some health packets. It gets tiresome and you die a lot easier then in 3. The only other problem I have is with Firefight. It seem like they missed the mark a bit with FF ya, its fun, but would I choose it over Horde or Nazi Zombies, no. Play it? Yes, Despite a few flaws its a good game with good multiplayer and a good storyline.
