Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to the highly anticipated, and highly praised, Batman: Arkham Asylum. Batman: Arkham City builds off its predecessor in ways no one could ever imagine. Every tiny little flaw was sorted out in this game. Perhaps the most significant change to the game is that it now fits under the genre of "sandbox". Rocksteady has blessed us with an extremely large world to explore and has included tons of content within that world, as well as free roam, even after completing the game. Along with the massive single player are many challenge maps and tons of collectables. With over 400 Riddler Challenges and over 50 challenge maps with 4 playable characters (3 DLC), Arkham City is absolutely jam packed with content that will make you never want to put the controller down. Perhaps this game's greatest strength is its combat. Being an action game, combat should be the primary focus, which it clearly was with this excellent title. New combo moves and gadgets have been added to spice up the gameplay, a large improvement from Arkham City. The combat is smooth and the controls are flawlessly accurate and responsive. The player has full control over Batman in any situation. This game also implements breathtaking stealth which includes many unique features, one being fear levels for individual enemies. When playing it sneaky, the player is required to truly think about their actions, are they'll be swiss cheese. The game does not hold your hand, but the difficulty isn't too hard so that you can't enjoy it by any means. Yet another standout attribute of Arkham City is the spectacular voice acting. Many voice actors from the animated series return as the voices of the characters in Arkham City including the beloved Mark Hamill. All the voice acting stays true to the personality of the characters and implements tons of emotion as well. Lastly, the story stays true to the Batman comics, much more so than the Christopher Nolan movies, however it takes its own twist on things in a subtle way, but just enough to make its story new and refreshing. This is not only a must buy for ANYONE, it is Game of the Year.

Mortal Kombat 9 can be compared to Duke Nukem Forever. 2 series that spawned great games from Midway, but went on to fall from their thrones. Now reboots are in order. While Duke Nukem Forever failed, Mortal Kombat succeeded. The question is, how does it hold up against other current gen fighters? To start, the story mode is surprisingly immersive and the cinematic cutscenes look fantastic and do a great job of telling the tale of Mortal Kombat. In fact, everything looks great about this game, including the return of the ever so popular gore that the series is famous for. So along with looks and story, it also does a great job staying true to the roots of the series. Where it slips is controls. The controls are unresponsive and stiff. Also, most of the combos are too complex for casual fans to memorize. If you really want to be good at this game, you'll need to play it at least once a week. I find this to be a problem considering that after you finish the story the game can get repetitive, unless you are playing with a friend. The multiplayer is a lot of fun, and the new tag team system works as it should. Really the biggest flaw with this game is the controls. Also, it would have been nice to see more playable characters. Some characters make playable appearances in the challenge tower but are not usable in multiplayer, such as cyber reptile, who I would love to be able to play as whenever I would like. I'll never understand why the developers made this decision. Nonetheless, this game is a solid reboot that hardcore fans of the series will adore, while casual fans will still enjoy. Are there better fighters out there? Yes. But are there better Mortal Kombats? That's a maybe. I'd recommend this game only for hardcore fans.

Super Mario World was an early title for the SNES, and quickly showed the world why the SNES beats blast processing. Brilliant level design, colorful environments, many different kinds of enemies, and the game still stays true to what Super Mario is all about. Following Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World had huge expectations, and it didn't disappoint at all. Flawless controls made it so every single death felt fair. The level design is vibrant and varied. No level ever feels the same, one of the big problems with Super Mario Bros. 3. (I'm looking at YOU, world 3!) The difficulty is just right so newbies and veterans to the platform genre will share an equal experience. There are a fair amount of powerups that keep the experience fresh. The music is excellent, arguably better than SMB 3. The game also has a unique addition to the series, this being Yoshi. This is the first game in which Yoshi is a playable character in a platforming experience. Along with great levels, there are many secrets in this game to keep you entertained for a very long time, especially if you go about finding them without the use of the internet. Super Mario World is not only a must buy for the SNES, but it's safe to say, if you don't own Super Mario World, you don't own a SNES.

The successor to Kirby Super Star on the SNES, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is a colorful 1st party platformer developed by Nintendo for the wonderful Nintendo 64. With competition from other successful Nintendo franchises such as Mario, Star Fox, Pokemon, and Golden Eye, Kirby was sadly overshadowed. The question I had from the beginning was, why? Nintendo certainly hyped the franchises mentioned earlier much more than Kirby was hyped during the SNES days. So, people may have not been familiar with Kirby when the game came out. But this is not Kirby's fault, and I don't think anyone will really know why Nintendo still to this day leaves Kirby in the dust, because he makes one hell of a game. Kirby 64's best feature is combining powerups. Along with this is great level design, beautiful graphics, and so many different kinds of enemies. Combining powerups was something new to the Kirby franchise, and it worked. It's worth buying this game just to see what all the possible combinations do. Level design is perfect. Nothing is too hard, but nothing is too easy. The levels are themed accordingly to the world you are in. Along with perfect gameplay design, the attention to detail is brilliant. The scenes happening in the background are sometimes so cool looking they distract you from the actual game. The boss battles are also all very memorable and a blast of fun. All the bosses have different ways in which they are defeated. Also, there are mini bosses within each level. The difficulty is only slightly harder than your average platformer, but I find that a good thing. You can't just breeze through the game, you need to use all the skills you acquire as you play through it. The one problem I found is that the game used no 3D gameplay whatsoever, yet it was on a system known for pretty much creating the 3D platformer. I actually prefer 2D platforming, but it would've been nice to see some innovation in this game. In the end, Kirby 64 is a must buy for fans of 2D platformers.

It blows my mind that Activision has managed to publish 9 Call of Duty games and counting. It just doesn't feel like anythings changed since the start. To be honest, not even the graphics have improved much. What Call of Duty Black Ops brings to the table is what every CoD has already. A solid but frustrating multiplayer, a campaign with one of the weakest plots in the history of mankind, and a difficulty both online and offline that a 5 year old could adjust to after playing a couple hours. First let's talk about the campaign. The plot is dull and the voice acting isn't that great either. However, I did have a lot of fun with the actual gameplay. It's by far the most action packed and intense campaign for a CoD game to date. Now onto the multiplayer. The multiplayer is solid, but doesn't stand out from other FPS games. There are a few bugs, but so far Treyarch has been doing a good job consistently patching the game. Combat training introduces some extra hours of fun, but it's a little pointless because you need online to play it. The multiplayer does have some weapon and spawn balance issues, and the maps lack color and flanking routes. It feels very plain, and at times can be quite frustrating. Overall, I think it's safe to say the series needs to end, or at least take a break.

Remember back in the day when you would just get done Super Mario World, and not to long after you finish it Nintendo makes that sequel everyone was waiting for? Well I'm sure we can all agree that it Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was a fantastic sequel, but also an innovative one. The crayon drawn graphics were extraordinary, especially for that time period, and it was a blast to play as Yoshi all the way through, instead of having designated levels where Yoshi can be used. The reason I brought up Yoshi's Island was because it was the inspiration for Yoshi's Story. Some may even argue Yoshi's story is a sequel. Nonetheless, Yoshi's Story was also very innovative, creative, and everything in between. Not only that, but it was one of the few side-scrolling platformers the N64 had to offer. It even introduced some new concepts, but not quite enough to really stand out from Yoshi's Island. It did also tweak all the old elements from the SNES hit, but in the end, it feels like Yoshi's Story is a storybook with a few pages torn out of it. While it's gameplay was fun, it seemed a bit standard and repetitive. Hard levels would usually bring some more enjoyment out of the game, but at the same time there were too many easy levels. I haven't spent a great deal of time on the game, in fact I haven't even gotten around to beating it, and honestly, I don't think I ever will. It has the "been there, done that" feeling to it. Put that together with fun but lacking gameplay, and you have a decent platformer that I suggest you rent first to see if you like it. Yoshi's story simply isn't an eye popping stand out game like Yoshi's Island for the SNES.

Street Fighter is back with the Super Street Fighter IV. not only are all the characters from Street Fighter IV back, but new characters are aslo in this game.
favorites like T-Hawk, Dee-Jay, Guy, Cody and others from Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter III and Super Street Fighter II Turbo are in the game along with two brand new never before seen characters. Hakan and Juki.
what is nice is that Super Street Fighter IV does not feel like an add-on like some games and the new modes are nice, some things like the ability ot watch eneding movies are missing but Capcom always seem to make sure that if one thing is missing, they make sure to add a ton more to the Street Fighter games.
also characters now have 2 new Ultra Moves instead of one. they still have one Super Move still. the moves can be easy to hard depending on character your using. also online modes are new and improved, Ranked Matches are back and the new modes like Endless Battle and Team Battle add excitement to an already flawless game.
the game does a nice job of allowing all the outfits fron Street Fighter IV to work with the game and new costumes keep coming out for the game adding to already awesome set of colors and outfits that are already out.
all in all Super Street Fighter IV is worth the money and fun to play.
the review says i gave it a 5.0 but that is not correct, i give this game a 9.5.

Fallout New Vegas has been highly anticipated since the release of its vague teaser trailer back in February. However, has that excitement depleted after witnessing the actual game? More or less, yes. That being said Fallout New Vegas is still a massive and enjoyable RPG, but its multiple bugs, weak story, and repetition weaken this game immensely. The game starts you off right in the middle of a chaotic scene between a corrupt government that claims to be a democracy and an army of savage slavers fighting to take control of the Mojave Wasteland, primarily its most noticeable landmark, New Vegas. To top it all off, you are a courier delivering arguably the most important piece of technology the post apocalyptic world has ever seen. Because of this you are shot in the head and buried alive in a shallow grave only to be saved by a creepy robot and an elderly doctor with an over the top western accent. When the actual gameplay begins the game couldn't possibly be more boring. You'll find yourself frustrated simply by the fact their is practically nothing to do until you manage to travel far north to New Vegas. The multiple bugs make the trip all the more repetitive and aggravating, but it is quite rewarding when you have finally reached pre-war oasis which is New Vegas. In New Vegas you'll find there is much more to do, most importantly the new features such as playing cards and gambling. Not only that but the bustling city also houses the man who had attempted to kill you. As you go farther into the story, you'll find the quests are more and more enjoyable, although they still don't live up to their potential because of the vast sea of glitches FNV has to offer. The new features give you something to do, but had little effort put into them and seem extremely repetitive, giving very little enjoyment after the first or second time you take part in them. Despite the massive amount of glitches and repetition, Fallout New Vegas is still a good RPG. Fallout 3 fans will have no problem adjusting to the minor changes in gameplay, and the wasteland is the largest of any Fallout game. This game will keep any RPG fan entertained for a good bit of time, but it's a shame that the game does not live up to its potential.

The critics have severely underrated this game for the mere fact that is different and creative. These attributes seem to be overlooked in modern day gaming, and critics expect all shooting games to be similar to the best sellers such as Call of Duty or Gears of War. I, however, am a huge fan of games that like to mix things up a bit. Blacklight: Tango Down is a downloadable game released July 7, 2010 on the Xbox Live Marketplace, and is expected to later release as a downloadable game on PC and PS3. It's honestly impossible to compare this game to any other shooting game on the market, which may be good or bad depending on who the gamer playing it is. This isn't a game that everyone will like, but if you like games that are very different from others, I would suggest this game. The maps and gametypes are great, and the controls are the exact same as Call of Duty, so it should be easy for everyone to adjust. The controls aren't quite as smooth and instantly responsive as the top selling shooters, but they are completely manageable to say the least. For all of you who love weapon customization, that is also included in this game. The basis of the game is that you are some kind of super soldier from the future, although it's not very clear what time period it is set in, and why there is a war, simply because this is a multiplayer only game, no story mode / campaign. Honestly, the game doesn't need a single player mode because the gameplay is so engaging. The only problems I can find with this game is that the controls don't run as smoothly as I would like, and the spawn system is only mediocre. But for the low price of $15 without needing to go to the store, I give the game a major thumbs up!

I personally can't put this game down! It's so awesome! Almost perfect!

Career: That's where the meat of the game is. In this mode, you unlock movies, parks, and tricks. One of the most interesting things about Career is that's where competitions are held. Rio, Skater Island and Tokyo are where they are held.

Single Session: This mode is really lame. It's a timed run, you have two minutes to bust out your moves. This is a letdown you wouldn't expect to be heard from me.

Free Skate: A practice mode with endless possibilites. Impress your friends, annoy innocent bystanders in Los Angeles park, grind down the rails of Tokyo, clear missions from career without earning anything, and, most importantly, practice.

2 Player: Watch your temper! This mode introduces the "Head Smack" trick, allowing players to attack each other and scrape their heads off the pavement. If you have a fear of blood, do not use this move.

Overall: Maybe the PS2 version rocked, but this is not putdownable. Do not play this game if you fear blood, once again.

Now, looking at the game, it is really fun to play and easy to get addicted to.
Good: Boxing makes exercising fun, anime people are awesome, customizable, really good choice of songs, you can quit during play by pressing 1+2, exams to test what level you are, unlockables, the shop, calendar, your journal to keep track of your progress, lots of features to customize your anime exerciser, Wii Balance Board compability is great, lots of modes to keep you busy; some are unlockable.
Bad: No training mode to hone your skills, trainer voice gets on your nerves; luckily you can change that, BGM (music) gets on your nerves; luckily you can change that too, horrible choice of venues, can get really annoying through and through.
Overall: Not what you would expect from an exercising game. The style is sort of DDR style, come to think of it. The game really deserves an 8.5 in my opinion. Congrats, Ubisoft!

WOW! I love the fact this game had a celebration in Japan!
Good: Awesome lock-on feature (put the cartridge in Sonic & Knuckles), high-speed fun, you can play as Tails, Sonic or Knuckles (lock-on), 8 or 9 fun filled zones, can have a 2-player race, can do the Story mode with a friend or sibling.
Bad: The simple CPU processing can kill Tails easily, when in 2-P story mode, the second player has to keep up or else he/she'll die, only gets challenging at zone 7 and up, in race mode the characters are soooo small that you'll probably shrink your eyeballs.
Overall: This is the second-best 2-D Sonic game I have ever played! Letdown: Not challenging at all...
The end.

I dunno why I'm reviewing this, but I'm bored, so...yeah.
Good: High-speed fun, exciting boss fights, unique levels, odd-ball enemies, awesome character designs, cool new characters; like Amy and Metal Sonic, challenging at times.
Bad: Can be extremely frustrating, when you die and in boss fights, it sounds like an evil Santa Claus is laughing at you, is glitchy at times when in really bouncy levels, Amy is really, hugely, insanely annoying in every level.
Overall: This is almost the best Sonic game I've ever played, let alone the almost best game I've ever played! Really enjoyable, and is really fast! Drawback: Annoying sometimes.

Not what you would expect from a manga like Naruto. The Good: Sometimes very addictive, because of the gameplay and cool characters, fun for you and a sibling or friend, inspires you to draw scenes from the game in "ANIME", holla! Great story mode, but doesn't tell the truth. The Bad: Too short of a story mode, barely any characters, gets annoying when you hear the voices too many times; I blame Maile Flanagan, cheesy mouth movement, cheesy attacks, could've had more modes in it.

Overall, this game should keep your attention for a little while, but should've been republished. Rent it first! The end.

I am speechless.
This game proved me wrong as I quit playing it after a couple of missions.
At that time there were other games that got my attention until the end of November; when I read some of the players reviews and realized that I am missing something good and I am glad I did because this is one of the few games out there that offer you the whole package (Story, Gameplay, Graphics, Sound and innovation).

Story: Very imaginative, innovative and engaging story with the best ending you can wait for. (NO GAME OUT THERE) shocked me with its ending like this one (SORRY ACII). Its just the fact that at first you get lost in this huge world that is totally corrupted and you will become overwhelmed by the number of (PRIMARY) and (SIDE) missions that you have to complete with no obvious improvement and achievement in the story and the world you are suffering to save. But after a certain amount of time and a large number of missions you will be engaged in this game and its world more than anything around you. can't wait for InFamous2 announcement.

Game play: WOW, this game is so hard that sometimes you just want to smash the controller into your TV. Shocked, wait until you try it.
This game is ( UNIQUE ) in every way; the combat system is different from anything I have seen before, the characters movement through the city ( on the streets and roof tops ) is smooth and enjoyable, his unique and wide range of powers and their use in the game, and the huge number of bad guys (Reapers, Dust men and First Sons) is so challenging; which keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Oh I almost forgot, in this game you get to choose between two paths (GOOD and EVIL) and each one affects the story and (TROPHIES) in a different way.

Graphics: Okay this game has some gliches, but other than that this game provides you with a world to explore and save more than any ( SAND BOX ) game ever did in the past (STREETS, BUILDINGS, CIVILIANS, CARS, BOATS, BRIDGES, TRAINS, ELECTRIC CABLES, SEWERS and LAND ZERO!!!!!).
One of the best looking games of all time, especially for a sand box game.

Sound: Not the best aspect of the game, but respectful background music and beautiful sound effects and amazing voice acting, especially ( COLE, ZEKE, SASHA and KESSLER ).

This game is a must buy and for those who don't own a PS3, now you have 6 reasons to buy one:
Metal Gear Solid 4
Uncharted 2
Daemon Souls
Kill Zone 2
Little Big Planet
InFamous.

Okay, let me say that this game is one h@ll of a ride.
WHY? the amount of action and the level of tension that you will feel on your journey is crazy Oh Yeeah.
Its worth your time, its worth your money, its worth all the anticipation and the huge number of reservations.
I am not going to write about MULTIPLAYER part of the game because I play usually offline on single player modes.
Here I will just give my impressions on the single player campaign.

Okay, for the first time in my life I am playing a FPS this fast; shooting bad guys is faster than ever. For the first time I am playing a FPS with very (different environments) nothing looks the same; every mission you are in a different situation and required to perfect a different task.

Story: the story is not strong as many other games are, but it keeps you going back and forth in an interesting and engaging way. In the matter of fact, the only problem is that its too short compared to other FPSs (it will take you less than 6 hours to complete it).

Graphics: Once again not the best in FPSs, but as I mentioned before the different places and environments that you go through and the amount of detail in each one of them is unbelievable.

Game play: There is no FPS out there that gives you this amount of action and fast pace as this game does. smooth movement, smooth and fast shooting, wide range of weapons, excellent application of vehicles and impressive driving style and controls.

Sound: voice acting has never been better, the sound effects in the game give the feel that you are really there in the middle of the conflict, in the middle of war.

Call of Duty has been better than ever in this game.

First of all I have to admit that ACI was one of my top 3 videogames I ever played in my life, but when it comes to this one ACI is no match.
Ubisoft continues to bring great game every year and this year they did a massive job.

ACII is no doubt the (optimal) or (ideal) game of this year. I know some people would argue that there are great games that are even better than ACII, for example: Dragon Age and Uncharted2.
Okay I agree that they are better in some aspects, but when it comes to the game as a whole ACII is the best.
Okay I know that you are annoyed by my long introduction (SORRY), but now I will go through the real stuff so please give me a chance and read this until the end.

Story: the most important aspect of any game and this one is amazing; you start as this young man called Ezio in Italy and he is a son of a wealthy man and the story takes back and forth until he becomes an assassin.
Many things have been added to this game compared to the first AC as you get involved with many other characters whom can help you through the journey. The length of the story is not short and not too long, so it keeps you interested, engaged and never annoyed.

Graphics: WOW, I can't imagine how these guys managed to simulate the city of Flourence; the amount of details is unbelievable. The great thing is that details are not only displayed in Flourence; wait until you see Venice.
Oh, I almost forgot the character's (Ezio) design is great, his looks and movement are amazing. all this is done in a game that will long and takes through different places and environments and believe when I say that graphics are still in the same level.

Sound: sound design is great; the back ground music is imaginative and engaging. The voices of different crowds and cities. And most importantly the voice acting is perfect.

Gameplay: In this game new things will be added as you can get help from other individuals and groups. The agility of the character is better than ever; its easier now to climb, run and fight. The amazing feature from the first game (the leap of faith) is still there.
More weapons, Armor, secrets and missions (less side missions!!!).
Don't miss the second hidden blade (WOW).

For me, this is the best game released to this date. Wish you enjoy it.
Thank you for reading.

It's safe to say that Call of Duty 4 built a large fraction of the Call of Duty fanbase. Crowds of gamers grew highly addicted to the multiplayer, which is living off its graphics and customization, not its gameplay. The campaign I thought was quite enjoyable. It was very emotional, filled with stealth and intelligent enemies. Call of Duty 4 unfortunatley does a terrible job depicting modern warfare. The unrealistic run-and-gun style of gameplay that this title provides, gives you a feeling of adventure genre, not a first person shooter. I will say the customization in the multiplayer is emense, all though the split screen and system link lack the ability to customize classes, only game modes. The maps in multiplayer, and the environment in the campaign, exceed expectations. What the multiplayer lacks, is any kind of spawn system whatsoever, and unbalanced perks and weapons. The campaign supplies you with many weapons and equipment, but most of these flashy objects have no use in a large fraction of the missions. In the multiplayer, pretty much the only 2 weapons that feel great to use are the AK-47 and the Barret 50 Cal. All around I must say this game only deserves a 7 out of 10.

I'd like to start this review by stating the only good thing in MW2, which is in my opinion custom classes. Everything else is sickeningly horrible, and the staff of game developers have not made a patch that has actually improved any issues for months. Most weapons are completely overpowered, such as the ACR, UMP .45, SCAR-H, TAR-21, P90, etc. 2 bullet kills and absolutely no recoil whatsoever. To top it all off, almost all the weapons are fully automatic with large magazines. Then there are the ridiculous perks that allow the most ridiculous combinations. An example would be One Man Army, Danger Close, "noobtubes", or grenade launchers. Although, I like to call it: unlimited ammunition super explosives. Which is basically what it is. Then Infinity Ward, the game developers, kept going, they decided to add death streaks, which literally REWARD PEOPLE FOR DIEING! This game is absolutely pathetic and I wouldn't even stand near it in whatever game store you go to. DON'T BUY THIS GAME!

One of the games that engages you into the imaginary world and its story.
This game is perfect in every aspect, graphics,animations, cut scenes, story line and gameplay.
I hate the fact that I just completed the game after playing UNCHARTED2, I don't know why, but I didn't have the guts to finish it. But keep this in mind, this game has graphics that are way better than Uncharted2 and the single player campaign is even longer, even though it was released a year earlier.
So if you haven't got this game yet, now its time.
The game can get a little difficult some times, but its worth the thrill.
If you haven't got a PS3 yet and you have the money, don't wait much longer.
This game will take through a journey that you will never forget, the story will take you through different environments with amazing details.
The action in this game is thrilling and so sophisticated that some time you will feel that you are playing a movie not a video game.
Enjoy the graphics, music and action before its too late.
I know, you will think that I am a PLAYSTATION fanboy, but the truth is that Iam an XBOX 360 maniac, but when it comes to amazing games I get them no matter what console they support.
Believe me you should get a PS3 with the following "If YOU hoven't yet" :
Meta Gear Solid 4
Uncharted 2
Little Big Planet
Kill Zone 2

and Thank you for reading, GOOD LUCK
