Tom Clancy's End War has been eagerly anticipated by fans of the series and RTS's in general. I hate to break it to you but End War is not what we had hoped for. The game offers a bad storyline, typical of Tom Clancy games, and an above average multiplayer experience.
The controls in the game are above average with great voice controls and Dualshock controll input. Unfortunately that is not enough to save the game from a dismal experience sure to dissapoint.
The graphics in the game are average, but I had expectd more from the developer that is bringing us Hawx very soon. Bland textures and terrible lighting effects destroy the viseral experience of being a commander that I had expected. The game is very jagged too, these graphics could be outpreformed by a good wii game (Galaxy, or SSBB) which made me want to cry out loud like a little baby who just lost Mr. Doopleginkins who happend to be their favorite stuffed rabbit in the world.
The audio makes me want to vomit. It is so bad in fact that I wanted to throw away my surround sound so that it wouldn't be all around me. The effects are cheesy, voice over is like a japanese RPG, and the music is like something out of sleeping beauty rather than a action/RTS game.
The singleplayer is medium length which prolonged my misery with the game until I could review it. I am not even going to talk about the story because I could fill an entire review with how bad it was.
The Multiplayer is the best part of this terrible package providing an intense ongoing theater of war, in which players can choose a side and fight battles fo territory. At the end of the day the computer calculates who won each territory during the day.
In the end I would never again play a game this bad. The voice commands (contrary to everything else in the game) is quite good. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!! I would give this game a 4.3 out of 10. Please leave feedback. BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Street Fighter has returned from the land of the dead and thank god, and if you don't believe in god then thank your savior, and if you don't have a savior... well thank capcom.
For those who know Street Fighter is the best fighting game ever, and thankfully the fourth installment is no different. You can play as 20 some characters each with distinctly different styles of playing.
The graphics in the game are top notch. Tthe painted art style really grasps you and pulls you into the action. The animation is smooth and running at a great 60 frames it is amazing. Every animation of every move is beautiful and graceful. The genre-defining 2-D gameplay returns brilliantly. The detail in each of the stages is great too, there is constantly something happening in the backround of the stage.
The audio is typicall of most games at this point. It runs in Dolby Digital 5.1 and maybe DTS, I am not sure. The sound of flesh hitting flesh is very satisfying when pulling off an ultra combo against a tough foe.
The Singleplayer is a solid experience. You fight round after round against characters selected at random. The final Boss, Seth, is a complete maniac with a cheap set of moves that you can counter after learning his timing. You will learn his timing though because the campign is so repetetive you will be able to blaze through Seth time after time. The campaign has several difficulties that you can set depending on whether you are a rookie or a seasoned veteran.
The multiplayer mode is great, with both local and online multiplayer modes it will keep you coming back for more.
Each of the characters have unique playing style with different combos. The unlockables will keep you playing the campaign to achieve them all. The game will keep you playing for roughly 100 hours before you get tired of it. I am going to tell you right now that it is most fun to play local multiplayer with family and friends. The game is easily worth 60 bucks. Out of 10 I would give Street Fighter IV an 8.9 out of 10. The game is amazing but not exceptionaly amazing. Please leave feedback. Thanks for reading, BEYOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SynopsisA band of renegade soldiers prowls through a dangerous landscape, risking everything in a quest for personal gain. The battlefield around them looms with violence. The air is thick with danger and the possibilities for destruction are immense. And the fun is just getting started. Take the battlefield by land, air or sea with dozens of new vehicles, weapons and toys and get ready for explosive experimentation. Battlefield: Bad Company bursts with excitement from the moment you set foot on the battlefield. With environments that are nearly 100 percent destructible, the possibilities are endless. Shape the battlefield to suit your playing style. Demolish structures down to their foundations. Stunning graphics bring the scope of the destruction to vivid life before your eyes, while dozens of subtle changes to the first-person shooter formula provide a true "through the gun" experience as you fire your weapon. With every shot and explosion, Bad Company immerses you in a hail of intense action.

Battlefield Bad Company is an Amazing immersive experience that introduces a new strategy to FPS's thanks to the frostbite engine. The Single player campaign has gotten a lot of bad response because it is short. However I found that the games Single player will keep you entertained for a good 10-12 hours if you ramp up the diffaculty to hard.
The game features stunning sound effects in suuround sound or non surround sound. The graphics are good on every aspect. The new feature That Bad Company offers is destructable evironments and cover. this introduces a new strategy that makes the game feel even more intense and crazy than (in my mind) Call of Duty 4.
The Online is Amazing on every aspect, there is little lag and the one game mode is spectacular and will keep you entertained for many a late night.
The Bottom line is this game is the best "T" rated shooter for the PS3, and in the top 5 for all ratings. Id give this game a 8.9... out of 10

Brace yourself for a new set of tricks, tracks and ways to race. The included Wii Wheel transforms your Wii Remote into a steering wheel that feels great in your hands, while the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controller supply a classic control style for veterans of this racing series. Either way, you'll be able to perform impressive speed-boosting tricks, such as jumps, flips and wheelies.You can zip through brand-new tracks and arenas, and also tour classic courses from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash and Mario Kart DS. There are even options for trying all-new motorbikes that have their own special tricks and techniques. The action gets fast, furious and funny when you race in Mario Kart Wii.

Mario Kart Wii was another greatly looked forward to game. The main attraction being the wii wheel and online play. Does Mario Kart Wii live up to the hype... read on to find out.
The first thing I'm going to talk about is new tracks and racers. Many people were dissapointed in Mario Kart Double Dash because there were only 16 tracks, In MK (Mario Kart) Wii that is not a problem. The 32 tracks will impress you, but 16 of the 32 are retro. Some of the retro courses are good but some are completely random.
New items are introduced but they aren't that good. In MK Double Dash there were items unique to characters that no other racer could obtain, unfortunately these were not included in MK Wii.
There are new racers which are nice. The inclusion of bikes are nice and offer a different style of racing.
Now Grand Prix is only single player which is a dissapointment. It is basically the same idea with 4 races and best out of the four wins. There is frusterating AI that will go from being in 12th place to 1st in 10 seconds. There is also now 12 racers per game which (for me) makes the game more frantic and annoying.
Battle mode is now also 12 player. A dissapointment is that all battle modes are team based, there is no every man for himself anymore. Battle mode is now singleplayer (Where you play against AI) as well as multi-player.
In time trials you compete for the fastest time possible.
Versus mode is still fun but the since the tracks were built for 12 people they seem really big when you're just playing with just 2 people.
There are frame-rate drops when playing with people in splitscreen.
Online play in Mario Kart Wii is amazing. There is pretty much no lag what so ever. Every regular multi-player mode is there online. You can play against friends or random people(up to 12). There are also tournaments where you race for best time on tracks that may have twists & turns, such as chain chomps running loose in Mario Circuit.
Everybody has been wondering about the wii wheel. The wii wheel is great and responds really quickly on screen. The wheel is small, only a little bit larger than the remote itself. The wheel is a little uncomfortable to start but you will get used to it and become a racing pro.
Mario Kart Wii didn't live up to all of its hype, but the online play blew me away. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys online play or racing. I give this game on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest) a 8.2 out of 10.

They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

Now that the long awaited Super Smash Brothers Brawl has been out for awhile, I can give it a fair review.
The first thing I noticed when playing the game was that there were four different control options. Since I played Super Smash Brothers Melee for about 200 hours I have been using the gamecube controller. The controls haven't changed a bit which (for me) is great, I loved melee's controls. If you don't like the default controls you can create a nickname and customize the controls so that whenever you play with that nickname your customized controls are in effect.
The graphics are spectacular for the wii, there just downright amazing. The only complaint I have is that when you aren't up close to your character they can look a little jagged, but that is a total nitpick.
The music in Brawl is also amazing featuring basically every theme song as well as backround noises that you can imagine. There are mainly songs from the characters actual games but even that is an enormous selection. There are even a few original and modified songs.
The character selection is immense with a total of 37 characters each requiring different skills and strategy.
There is a total of 38 stages each with unique twists and turns.
There is a shallow stage editor with few parts to start with but you can unlock others. Even after you have unlocked all the parts there are still not very many parts. You can build a variety of stages however. There is a learning curve, you won't actually build a good stage until you've built about 5 stages.
The local multiplayer is as fun as ever with timed, stock, coin, and bonus brawl. There is also a custom brawl that is wacky but fun with many options.
The online play was probably the most looked forward-to part of brawl. When you play with a friend the connection is fairly good, but there is occaisional lag. Random online play has lots of lag. The lag really destroys the experience because lag can give other players a chance to see what you are doing and give them time to dodge a oncoming attack.
There are two singleplayer modes this time around Classic and The Subspace Emissary.
Classic is basically the same as in Super Smash Brothers Melee and just as fun.
The Subspace Emissary however is a modified Adventure Mode. The TSE (The Subspace Emissary) is a story about how all the characters meet up and fight this big bad guy to save the world from turning into subspace. You play through a series of boring and repitive missions throughout. The good part of TSE is how the story moves forward, which is by amazing cut-scenes. The animation in the cut-scenes are the best I've seen on the wii and sets the bar for future cut-scenes on the wii.
Super Smash Brothers Brawl offers great graphics, music, controls, character selection, & stage selection. Super Smash Brothers Brawl has great multi-player action offline and some online. The single-player isn't great but can give you something to do when your friends can't play you online or offline. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being perfect and 1 being horrible) Super Smash Brothers Brawl gets a 9.3 out of 10.
