"From the moment I saw this game I knew it was gonna be a fun one. After playing it, I find I was right. Although not the greatest game ever, it is definitely a game you can pick up and just have fun. From blowing up any building or vehicle you see, to the funny remarks exchanged by your allies. Just imagine driving a armored vehicle on a golf course with surf music on the radio while at the same time fighting off countless enemies. That is, in a nut shell, Battlefield:Bad Company."
What's great about it: You get to blow up everything, good humor, guns
What's not so great: Weak multiplayer, poor vehicle handling

"If you like WWII, aliens and cool weapons, then Resistance: Fall of Man is for you. On a plot standpoint, Resistance brings a unique and interesting storyline that will keep you captivated for hours. As far a First Person Shooter goes it doesn't bring a whole lot new to the table. It felt like your average shooter only very well put together. Its nice to pick up a shooter and just have fun with it instead of wrestling with shoddy controls and second rate graphics. With a great multi-player to boot, its worth your time.If you haven't tried Resistance yet your missing out."
What's great about it: Great plot, good graphics, fun multiplayer
