Gears of War 3 Review

clipartinc — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 20:29:54 +0000

Gears of War has been a great game since it started and the latest version Gears of War 3 is no exception. The gameplay and graphics are top notch and it’s a blast to play alone and with friends.

I finished the campaign in about 1 week on hardcore (playing a couple hours a day) and enjoyed it greatly. After beating the game on hardcore it unlocks insane mode and I have to say, it’s insanely stupid. In insane mode you can not be revived so once your down, you’re dead. In isane mode the enemy can kill you with one shot, but you can not kill the enemy with one shot, it’s unfairly setup and not even fun. You have to stay in sniper mode and forget about melee, which is not how I like to play.

I would say try insane mode if you want to get frustrated, stick to hardcore for a good (fair) challenge. If they make the enemies have stronger weapons they should let you have stronger weapons too!

The game really shines in horde mode and I love the new ways to earn money for kills in order to fortify your base after each wave. Co-op gameply is awesome in horde mode!

The Game Press Rating

The Good: Gameplay, graphics, and co-op play.

The Bad: Hud display can be in the way during co-op gameplay, insane mode is “insanely stupid”

Dead space 2 review

Dead space 2 is a good third person shooter where you play as a man named Izic who is on a quest to stop an alein race called the Necronorph.

Dead space 2 has really good graphics they’re really bloody and gruesome.The first boss is really brutal if you die he will sometimes rip off your head then stap your body and rip your legs off your body.

The Game Press Rating

Good: That you have the force or something like that and that the game give you a challage with every Necronorph.

Bad: That you cant hold that much ammo.

Crysis 2 by Electronic Arts

Aliens are invading Earth and you are the only hope for humanity. Crysis 2 makes you feel like you are really in the game with it’s amazing graphics! You play as a supersoldier in a modified Nanosuit 2 that increases your strength and armor. The battle takes place in New York City like you have never seen it before. Fight your way through the chaos and save Earth in this enjoyable game!

Fight aliens from vehicles or on foot using the stadard weapons you are used to (sniper, assault, etc…). You can drive some vehicles, but not all, which was a pleasant surprise. I love when a game let’s you drive the vehicles. The environment is slightly destructable, but nothing like Red Faction.

The Game Press Rating

The Good: Drive vehicles, upgradable the nanosuit as you play, customizable weapons, amazing graphics!

The Bad: Only allowed to drive some vehicles. No coop play.

Red Faction: Armageddon by THQ

Think you have what it takes to save Mars? Red Faction take into the action like no other! You can destroy pretty much everything in the game and then recontruct what you destroyed if you need to. It’s an amazing experience to be able to destroy a building and then rebuild it as needed.

Fight aliens from vehicles and on foot using amazing weapons that I’ve never seen before in a game, such as the magnet gun (smash two objects together), singularity cannon (makes a black hole), and the rail driver (shoots through metal). You can destroy buildings and reconstruct them as will, which is very unique and enjoyable to play.

Bonus Gun Alert: If you finish the game you have the option to play a new Game Plus, which unlocks all weapons and a new weapon called the Unicorn Gun. This Unicorn gun is super funny, but extremely deadly. Watch the video below to see for yourself.

The Game Press Rating

The Good: Destroy, rebuild, and then destory again. The best destruction engine and amazing weapons.

The Bad: Shorter then expected.

Kinect for Xbox 360

You really are the controller. No gadgets, no gizmos, just you and it’s so cool!!

The Kinect is such a fun experience that you must try it. I am very excited about where this technology will go. It’s not only fun it will save you hundreds of dollars in controller costs, because you do not need to buy multiple controllers.

Have you tried the Kinect? Share your experience with us.

The Game Press Rating

The Good: The controls are very rewarding and fun to use.

The Bad: None so far.

Burnout Revenge

This is a great racing game that is very unique to other racing games because of the spectacular crashes that you can cause during races and as crash events. I was pleasantly surprised with the way this game was created and the way it played.

When first playing I was expecting just another racing game, but early on I seen it is very different from any other racing game I have ever played. Have you ever wanted to just crash in the back of some stupid driver on the road? Yeah, well in this game you can smash and crash traffic like you dreamed of. It is such a pleasure and fun to play, it also helps get the road rage out for real.

Every aspect of this game is excellent and I definitely would recommend you try this game if you haven’t already. I know it’s been out for a while now, but I felt the need for a review because this one is a classic. I was going to not review this game and just review the new Burnout Paradise, but honestly I do not know what Criterion was thinking when they made Burnout Paradise, they changed the whole game and I want my money back, but I will save that for my next review.

Burnout Revenge is a great game! It’s not co-op but it is still a blast playing with your buddy, taking turns through events building your ranking and unlocking cars is way fun.

Happy Crashing!
