A FPS...on a Grand Scale...*Valor Squad* all day.!

from BK All Day
MAG is a FPS that is on a level like no other FPS. What sets it apart...#1; it's strictly online. No offline campaign/story. Your only objective is to pick your affiliation, gear up, and wreck shop on every other faction. #2; it really focuses on "Squad" Combat. I put it in quotes because if you venture off 2 far on your own, you will have minimal success. You may be able 2 get a kill or two but you will soon be overwhelmed by 5 to 6 other player or taken out by a sniper with a good eye. #3; NO LAG. I've played other games online from fighting games to other FPS's and have had more lag problems than i've had with MAG.
They have a decent selection of weapons and "perks," although they could have used a little more. Leveling up is a grind but it feels very rewarding whenever you do. I will say this though, i have had more fun playing this FPS online more than any other FPS, and i own MW2 and Battlefield: Bad Co.2. Not taking anything away from these 2 great titles at all, i'm just saying. Anyway all FPS lovers should definitely pick this up...you wont be disappointed, trust. VALOR SQUAD BABY.!!

What's great about it: The "Squad" based gameplay, no lag, the sheer number of players
What's not so great: Don't really care for the sniper rifles

P.O.P is a decent title...that could have pushed the envelope a bit further, but for what it was...it passes. This P.O.P is very reminiscent of the earlier P.O.P titles. Combat is familiar with few tweaks here and there. The Prince is given new powers that are incorporated in his fighting, like stone skin 4 added defense, trails of fire, ice blast from your sword, and a giant whirlwind 2 suck up enemies. These are a nice touch but weren't really awe inspireing enough 4 me. They could have done more in this area (My opinion). The 1 aspect of this game that i did like was the movement of the Prince. As a BIG fan of Parkour Free Running (if you don't know what that is...look it up, it's dope) i loved how the Prince got around. All the precision jumps, cat to lache grabs, wall runs, bar work...were done well. Other than that the game didn't do muich else for me...i would only recommend this game if you really have nothing else to play and just want to kill time b4 a big title drops...

Alpha Protocol was another 1 of those games that i was waiting on to be released but just kept being pushed back. Now that it's here i muist say...it hasn't dissapointed. You play as Michael Thornton...cue song Secret Agent Man...lol. Your job is to find the men behind the bombing of a commercial airlines flight, and this is where the fun begins. The first thing you get to do is choose what type of operative you want 2 be and run though a couple training courses, which serve as a tutorial of sorts, then its, off to your 1st mission.
Aside from all the good action, and great story, 2 things really sold me on this game. 1st, it's an RPG at its core, so the character progression is wonderful. For every tactical, sneaky, super spy thing you do, you earn exp which in turn earns you points that you can allocate to Secret Agent Man, so your agent actually plays the way you want him to. 2nd is the "Choice Factor." As you go through the game you encounter many different people, so friend, some foe and some indefferent. When you talk to these characters, dialogue options pop up. Depending on how u answer them you can actually make them like you, or not. You can turn potential enemies to mutual friends and vice versa. Doing so can earn you perks for your character, extra missions, money, weapons etc., so mind your tounge...lol.
So pick this one up...trust me it will be worth...

What's not so great: The boss fight with the guy in the disco...lol, some graphical glitches here-n-there

Split Second is a solid (Arcade) racing title. It's full of speed, excitement, and mayhem. Now i've heard this game being compared to the likes of Burnout, and how people are just calling it a clone. But when you look at it, it is in it's own category. I say this because Burnout's mayhem is caused through vehicular conflict...bumping cars into traffic, slamming them into walls etc. Split Second's mayhem is caused through environmental destruction caused by the driver. As u drive, drift, and draft your way through the course you fill a meter that you can use 2 trigger these race changing environmental explosions, to stop the other drivers. This is 1 racer that it's safe 2 say you are not safe out in front because just like you, the other drivers can trigger explosions that can knock you right out of the lead.
I haven't gone online yet...but i can guess with seven other live drivers with different driving stylez blowin stuff up...it should be a blast.
Bottom line...this is a good soild racer with lots of potential. It's fun, fast, and oh such a blast, literally...BOOM.!!!
What's great about it: It's fun, It's fast and it reminds me of 1 of my favorite movies, "Death Race"
What's not so great: No real cars, but that's real minor...

Red Dead is a great fit for the sandbox game genre. It's right up there with GTA4, & Just Cause2, just to name a few. It may take a step back in time but not in gameplay. Who knew they had bullet time back in the dayz...eat your heart out Neo...lol. Anyway, the story is great and presented well. You play as John Marston a former Bad@$$, who has to catch his former running mate in exchange for his family's life. All the characters are memorable, in true Rockstar fashion, and all the western accents are done very very well. People were so polite back then...lol. The gun fights are good as well. Shooting people on horseback has never been so fun. U can do all the small things that make western life fun...horse wrangling, games of horseshoes, etc.
Bottom line...pick up this gun slinging, horseback riding masterpiece and get your Yeee Haaa on.
What's great about it: 1). It's Rockstar Baby, 2).The western feel is real genuine, 3).Another good quality sandbox title
What's not so great: If I had 2 pick something right now it would be that the horses are a little stiff but thats really minor.

Lost Planet 2 (LP2), is a decent shooter that immerses you in intense battles situations against both human and biological threats. These battles are best handled with at least 1 live partner because the game when played alone is harder than a turtle's shell. The A.I. is absolutely useless in important situations. Another downside is that the controls are a little stiff especially in the mechs. The campaign mode is lenghty...and that's a good thing. Just make sure. like i said, you have some live players.
Multiplayer is fun as well. It's no Modern Warfare, but it is still fun. I like it because of the third person view instead of first person, ala Metal Gear's, and Drakes multiplayer. They have the usual deathmatch, team deatmatch, capture the flag-ish types, etc. Bottom line the game is centered around co-op play, so if u dont mind playing with others online then pick this up. Tell ur best bud 2 get it so at least you have that very important live player. If you choose to go it alone you will be in for a long, long night.
What's great about it: Great graphics, Great co-op experience, Ok character progression
What's not so great: Controls feels a little stiff at times

Nier...i didn't know what to expect when in opened the game 3 days ago. Right from the opening movie, i was "shocked." All i heard was this potty mouthed lady talkin 2 something or someone. I never heard words like this come out of a Square-Enix title. Needless 2 say i was intrigued. Nier to me remindes me of an old Square title...Vagrant Story..(hope you guys have played that 1.) The combat, magic..(done by a talking book)...etc., are all done in real time. 1 issue i have with this is the camera can get you in trouble during combat...due to the lack of a lock on feature..(in my opinion.) You might end up gettin hit from your blindside a time or 2. The game also switches from the 3D open style to a traditional 2D side scrolling platformer, i think that's kinda cool. Another thing which adds 2 the "Dark"ness of the game is all the blood that spews from all the enemies. It's just something i never witnessed from a Square title...(i know, broken record right...lol.) The potty mouth girl i mentioned b4...is actually your partner. She travels the world with you helping you out in ballte...and she can hold her own. You dont have to worry about keeping her alive, because if she dies she revives herself after a while. I know i've said alot but bottom line...it's a great game. Fans of Vagrant Story will appreciate this 1...and so will the people that just love [Square-Enix] games like this.
What's great about it: Great voice acting, Cool magic attacks, Overall good experience
What's not so great: No lock on for combat, Camera can be a pain in the @$$...

It's time 2 get your hadoken on once again, but this time it's with a little added flair. I picked up SSF4 on Fri..yeah i got another one early...lol, and it is absolutely bananas. SSF4 is packed with new content. 8 new characters (all available from jump street), new online modes, and the classic wreck the car and break the barrels bonus stages...THROWBACK...lol. The balance between the fighters has seemed to be fixed as well so some of the stronger players have been toned down a bit and vice versa. The addition of another 1 new ultra combo for every character is nice 2, so you can pick 1 that fits your fighting style. Bottom line...if you own the old version of this game, dump it and pick up a copy of SSF4...ASAP. HADOKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's great about it: Ibuki, Dudley, Cody, And Dee Jay...Better online 2...
What's not so great: That this wasn't the first version released...lol.!!

Strikeforce is a decent title. It has it's ups and downs. For starters the game is still fun to play. Typical Dynasty Warriors action...hack-n-slash through waves of enemies. It's no GTA or G.O.W but it a nice way 2 release the anger after a long day at work. New twist in gameplay is the addition of air combat...it add a sense of "depth" to the combat. The new transformations are cool 2...makes me feel like a super sayian...lol. Although the combat has a few new additions, the controls don't seem as fluid as past title. Also the camera is a pain sometimes. The graphics aren't gonna knock your socks off either but they are ok...(The opening movie is nice 2) All in all if you are a fan of the series or just looking 4 a fun hack-n-slash to kill time with, pick it up...if not you won't miss much...
What's great about it: Loads of characters...Good Character progression..!!
What's not so great: Camera is a pain in the @$$ sometimes...controls dont seem as fluid as Dynasty Warriors of old

GTA: Episodes is a nice addition to the GTA4 story. I just bought it and started with The Ballad of Gay Tony...(its the 1 i really wanted 2 play 1st.) I love the way it starts w/Luis, your character, walking through liberty city and Niko passes in a car and u see the Lost and Damned guys ride pass on their bikes. I just thought it was a nice touch. Anyway, the game so far is typical GTA. The character are memorable...so far at least, and the voice acting is top notch. Idk what else 2 say right now...its still early, but, for this price who wouldn't want a GTA 2 for 1...pick it up.
What's great about it: 2 games 4 a great price
What's not so great: IDK yet...only purchased it yesterday...
