i thoroughly enjoyed dark sector as well, yet i can't help but give it a mediocre score since i acknowledge the game's flaws, mainly it's repetitivenss. your semi review though is more of a summary on what the game is, not your honest opinion of what you thought of the game.

My thoughts on the game...Some aspects of it I was very impressed by, some were lacking but overall it's worth playing. Especially since its very cheap. I never heard of the game's previous development history so the changes obviously didn't bother me. The guns taken from enemies exploding after like 30 seconds was a bit annoying but as you progress and buy your own guns that becomes less of a problem. I thought the use of the glaive and the many abilities that come with it made for interesting gameplay. The graphics were extremely impressive and the environments were also constructed well. The idea of the protagonist gradually turning into one of the infected was also a very cool idea. Yes the gameplay can be repetitive at times but there are few games that aren't guilty of that and it wasn't enough to really put me off. After I played the Gears games Dark Sector made a great supplement as well. Despite the elements taken from previous games I thought they managed to produce a refreshing and original game, even the borrowed elements were made their own. I'd give it like an 8.5, not the best game I've ever played but still plenty of fun to be had for fans of survival horror/shooters.

I bought Dark Sector for 9 bucks at a blockbuster near me and I was actually really impressed with it. It's gotten mostly negative reviews and lots of people are calling it a blatant rip off of Gears, which I disagree with. Yes the control scheme and camera viewpoint are similar but that's really where the similarities end. I've had a lot of fun playing it on campaign as well as online, it's graphics are extremely impressive, and its got some really cool abilities for your character as well as a solid survival horror influence. You play as a special forces agent who gets infected with a disease that turn humans into monstrous zombie like mutants with metallic skin. As you progress through the story the infection progresses and as a result you are given different abilities. It's a third person shooter but like Gears the shooting is done from a first person perspective. Once you are infected a glaive (basically a three pronged boomerang with blades) forms out of your hand. A decent amount of the gameplay is centered on the use of the glaive to solve puzzles, pick up items, and attack enemies. It does base itself on many games to come before it, but it manages to balance those clear influences with its own original elements and it is definitely an impressive and fun game. What do you guys think?

The zombies in Dead Space are technically the reanimated corpses of the ship's crew after being infected by an alien life form. That being said Dead Space is a must own game for any fan of horror games, its absolutely incredible and its pretty god damn scary.

I love Left 4 Dead. I don't love Left 4 Dead when I get matched up with little kids and complete morons that suck as it makes for a very frustrating experience. Such is the curse of cooperative shooters. This has become increasingly problematic as I've begun playing on expert. So, if any of you play L4D and are halfway decent at it send a friend request my way my gamertag is NapalmBrain420 .
