Bad Company starts takes place with a company that suddenly stumbles on something big on a military mission. With all the different personalities and actually a fun and good story spent on the singleplayer it makes for a great singleplayer story. The multiplayer doesn't lack anything either with a progression system and a lot of destructable enviroments that makes for dynamic gameplay.

The bad:
The graphic does take a hit in this game and does have framerate issues. If you don't care for the greatest graphics this won't be something to take notice of. But some may take notice.
Some of singleplayer events might be annoying with smaller glitches and sometimes quick time/live scenes events taking you out of the experience.
The multiplayer might feel a little familiar to most. The multiplayer does offer detructable enviroment, but doesn't really have anything new than any other shooter when it comes to multiplayer.

The Good:
The singleplayer really gives you a lot of options to approach the situation. Not forcing the player to choose just some random weapon the character is assigned. But actually choosing a weapons the level and what the player wants. The levels are linear, but don't feel linear as it actually might be.
The gameplay itself is really solid and does give the player enough to choose from in multiplayer and singleplayer.
The story is really solid in singleplayer and gives the player a story full of action story. With funny one liners and some great voice acting, it gives the story depth and purpose.
The level design is well done and never feels forced and gives the player enough variety to actually be a good change of pace instead of the constant gun shooting.

Overall:
It's a great shooter with really great singleplayer with humor and depth and a multiplayer that is solid but doesn't really add whole lot to formula, but is still fun to play. I would recomend this to anyone that is a fan of shooters to explore and some that haven't really tried the genre out yet.

sing along if u will,,tf1-classic shares the same name as coca-cola,,classic,,called rc-cola,,mm,,yummy,,but only shares the name classic,,how funny is that?;p,,,


anyway;p ;


taking gameplay elements from



hl1 and turning it into a multiplayer much like hl1 multiplayer,,



but with a diff--style of play,,weapons,,arenas,,sounds,,classes instead,,



tf1 classic may look like hl1's multiplayer,,but not completely,,it plays different has a different,,feel,,float and spinn on it,,while well just enough manages to feel widely unqiue and set them apart from hl1's weapons in multiplayer,,just enough;),,.


furtermore this is where tf1-classic goes further apart from hl1 multiplayer,,this is by adding like a new mode if u will,,,with classes and so on;),,alongside,,some new coridors,,and arenas,,


noly negative thing is that graphics wise it is frightening the same as hl1,,same with weapons,,but classes and these weapons,,capture the falg and so on,,makes this game unqie,,this is how it too ka drastic turn from the basic hl1-multiplayer,,aftr u just finished hl1,,singelplayer,,story;p

everythign runs smooth,,,,weapons,,how they fire,,the float of the game,,sounds,,optons,,menues,,camera ,,screen all nice,,


back then tf1-classic actually managed to take some ram of my computer,,

which i later found out,,when there are many ppl on the map,,speed of computer turns up,,how funny is that;p,,


any tf1--classic is a great game and gem,,tasty action sequense uwont ever forget;),,with twist u have never seen before in a hl-mod,,because this was a great hl1,,mod,,from the Hl,,universe,,great fun,,thumbs up and have fun,.-

The game Fall of Cybertron takes place after the first game that tells the ending of the war between the Autobots and Decipticons. You take control of both sides and getting a deeper perspective from both sides.
There is a multiplayer in this game that has a progression system. There are also several classes to choose from enabling the player to explore more than one way to play.

The Bad:
There is a certain level that totally has a harder difficulty then the others. This is totally different then any of the other levels. The enemies are way harder, and more then the other levels. It also gives you little oppertunity to get more health and ammo. Making it hard even on normal and easy diffuculty. This is something the developer should have taken notice before launching it or fixing it after release.
The campaign is also a little on the short side. There is also little replaybility to the campaign other than trying to get achievments or trying to do it on harder difficulty. It is a shame it is so short, because the story is actually pretty good. Feeling they could have explored the game more with characters. The characters have little screen time other than the many known ones.

The Good:
Even though the story is short and not fully using the potential some of the stories could have had, it is by no chance bad. The story is really well paced and has enough actions and cutscenes to immerse the player in the experience.
The characters are colorful and well written. You never feel dull in the singleplayer experience. With funny and serious moments through the whole campaign makes it a really great game. Great characters and great story.
The gameplay itself is really solid. With a heavy gun and light gun and special abilities for each of the characaters. Examples are Stealth that gives you the ability to actually sneak up on enemies. The really great thing about this is that the level design actually makes you benefit when you use the ablities and it doesn't feel forced in any of them and go with them without any problem. This makes the gameplay even more diverse and giving players more variation. The player can also transform into a vehicle that makes the gameplay even greater, leaving the player to choose either form and playing as you see fit. Some stages in each level might be better to use in one or the other form. They never feel forced and gives the player the option to play how they want. The player also gets to upgrade weapons, perks, abilities, buying perks, etc. And gives a sense of depth to game.
The multiplayer is really good and gives the player the choice of making the robots to look how they want, giving them different weapons and in the end a lot of choice how they want to play it. There was no issue with lag when i played this.
The graphics has its own style and does stand out to the eye. It really is amazing at times. Especially when looking at cities and the horizon of large buildings. Just showing how great the world looks like.
The voice acting is really good. They really bring the characters to life and brining old actors back from the animated series is also a great plus for fans of the series. The guns sound also really authentic and makes you want to shoot a robot right in the face with great results.
Overall
With players given the choice between abilities, lots of weapons, transforming, great story and just a lot of choice for the player. The story might be linear, but they player gets to choose how they want to play. It never truly feels like you are just passing through and actually experiencing a greay game. If you can look past a few flaws, it is a really great game to have in your library

Modern Warfare 2 continues the campaign and the pushes the franchise forward in the modern setting even further. The multiplayer returns as we are used to in the series.
Spec Ops is a nice change of pace making Co-Op avaliable over internet and locally. This mode contains of waves of enemies coming against you and trying to survive with a friend on your side. There are three difficulties for each map, and you are able to test your skills how much you can plan and use skills to get through the waves of enemies.
The multiplayer is also back with new perks, weapons, and levels. This time around there are 10 prestiges to do. If someone wants a real challenge and try to level up again 10 times with all the challenges and weapons, it's a nice change of pace.
The Bad:
The singleplayer is as forgetable as ever. The player takes control over several persons through the campaign and gets you a perspective of things. This had worked, if the story had some sort of depth. But all it really is, is a shallow attempt at an action movie. Some might also be shocked from the infamous airport level, but this game is also labeled as mature. The plot tries to take itself seriously, but when you eventually see plot twists coming from a mile away and all of the levels being very linear. When i mean linear, it's basicly either a stand off trying to survive enemies, escort missions, corridor shooting or simple running from A to B. There are no alternative ways to actually engage the enemy when the actual fire begins. Everything is control with smaller quick time events and very scripted events through the whole story. There are no alternate ways to play the levels. There are intel packs to be collected in each level, but there is barely any exploring. It does not give the player any creativity when it comes to the gameplay itself. The whole singleplayer is basicly just point and shoot with cinematics explosions with forgetable dialogue and characters.

The graphics on the console aren't as good as the pc counterpart, and it shows if you have seen the pc version. Some framerate issues can be seen on the console version.

The Good:
The gameplay is very solid, making tweaks to make it more solid. The gameplay mechanics really shine through in the multiplayer where you can choose your own weapons and perks to your liking and play the way you really want to. The multiplayer has enough depth and options to give the players of this game a good reason to play it.

The sound of the gun mechanics and the game itself are solid, and don't have any real flaws. The guns sound good enough to make the player believe the gun sounds coming out of the actual guns when shooting them.

Spec Ops gives the player also a reason to try out the Co-Op part of the game with several difficulties. Makes it possible to have a friend locally or over internet to play with you. These levels are well designed and could give players that want to explore this part of the game much fun to be had.

Even though most of the singleplayer is plain, the voice actors make it relevant to even take notice of these shallow characters. Making them believable and humane. If there is anything that is good about the singleplayer it would be the voice acting, even though the story and the way the character progress is really shallow.

Overall:
It's a good multiplayer game for those that want either a Co-Op experience or a massive online expeience, then this should be in your collection. But if you want to get this game for it's singleplayer, you should stay away from it. Because it has nothing of depth in there or even worth exploring.

]]> http://www.gamespot.com/team-fortress-2/user-reviews/811179/platform/pc/ Tue, 07 May 2013 08:26:26 -0700 The_Last_Ride reviewed Assassin's Creed III for the Xbox 360... http://www.gamespot.com/assassins-creed-iii/user-reviews/811091/platform/xbox360/ ...and gave it a 8.0.

In this sequel to the Assassin's Creed games, we visit early colonial America. It starts with Haytham Kenway and him making his way to the new America to search for where his relics may be of use. He is also searching for clues left behind by Minerva and Juno that both Assassin's and Templars are looking for. This part of the story is very linear and serves as an origin story. There is a little plot twist after you are done with his story. After a few hours in you take over Connor, Kenway's son and continue the story from there.
There is a new setting setting in this game never shown before with the forest and animals being a part of the game. Hunting and skinning animals are also part of the game. This game does not have any upgrades when it comes to the home where the character is settled.
The whole setting takes the whole american revolution and takes the fictional characters such as Haytham and Connor and puts them right in the middle of them. They also have real characters such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and other known persons from that era.
The gameplay and combat itself has been changed a little bit. The counter system has been worked on and needs more timing than before. This can make confronting larger more challenging

The bad:
Something that sticks out right away after the beginning is that guards recognize you immediately if you just have one on your notorious level. You get recognized faster when you are on rooftops, it does not give you any incentive to actually climb the houses in the cities of New York and Boston. The posters for you to get noticed less is even removed from your map entirely making it harder for you to lose your character getting noticed by guards.

The modern part of the story also has a bigger role in this, which isn't bad. But the sour note the game. With the game ending on the biggest cliffhanger in the entire Assassin's Creed series. The other ones in the series, might not have a a real ending except for Revelations ending Ezio's and Altairs story. They just leave one big question mark and break the entire series with such a an ending. It will be a big dissapointment for those that have played all of the games and might even anger some.

The new homestead isn't upgradable and doesn't really give you any incentive to go deeper. It gives you more story to some characters if you are invested in the game and want a little more story to it. Some are interesting, but they consist mostly of fetch quests and mostly consist you doing the same with helping them with something they can't do themselves. They can be really tedious to do if you can't get invested in the characters. The upgrades and shipments you do with the homestead are pretty much useless and doesn't really give any depth to the game. Looking at the result of this design decision it is not clear what was suppose to be the meaning of this whole system.

The counter system doesn't always respond the way you want it to, and get often hit even though the timing is good.

The good:
The graphics of this game are a really big upgrade to the previous games in the series, and it is really stunning to watch, wether it is the cutscenes or exploring the world. It is truly beautiful to look at.

The characters of this story are strong, some might be used to the idea of a character of the likes of Ezio and Altair. They have to keep in mind that this is a whole new character, with his own story and problems. The voice acting is great, and give depth to the characters and the story itself. Even though that i have mentioned that the "modern" ending for the game ends on a big cliffhanger, doesn't mean that this game doesn't have a good story. Connors and Haytham's story through this game is really good and worth experiencing.

The audio and sound effects are well made and the mood it sets when traveling in the forest is really important, could have felt really empty if this wasn't case.

The gameplay has also improved. The climbing has never been this fun, even though the game does not give you any real incentive to actually climb and explore the rooftops because of troops, doesn't mean the mechanics for it are bad. Far from it, it's never been this much fun to actually climb which is really sad when the notorious system undermines this mostly.
The combat is more realistic and requires the user to time the counters more, it can be really fun when have a few opponents and really dominate them, but when you have several enemies against you it can work against you.

Overall this is a mixed bag, there is enough though to actually play this game, even though some might be dissapointed with this being the biggest and best in the series, it is far from being a bad game. It is worth a shot if you are an Assassin's Creed fan, but also keep in mind, this might not be the overall best game. I did not encounter many bugs in my Xbox version, but that doesn't mean this is free of bugs and glitches.

most dicciult aspects of this game are the stealth missions and or puzzles,,which also seems t obe the strongest part,,cuz it takes some times to runf fro mA _ B solving puzzles in huge levels,,and shooting way too many dudes at the same time reach the end of the level,,all at once,,this could be a negative thing,but basecally its that what keeps the game not falling too short and the multiplayer,,these two things combined and the locals;));p;p;)

what i did not like,,; too repative and straightforward,,a little linear,,bad extras and the movies,,basecally all extras or unlocks are worth nothing,,art unlockables are just nothing,sketches but bad ones;p,,,sometimes bad camera,,sometimes the shooting just feels wrongs,,like it almost doesnt react ot the graphics or are above it,,pretty easy game if u play it right,,too many persons too shoot,,almost a overflow,,so many guys simply do ont excist at once,,tricky camera,,some glitches soemtimes ,,a few bugs,,weapons could have played off in a better way,,bosses way over the top difficult compared to the regular chines edudes u shoot;psome of the characters or enemies feels laughable too cartoonish and or funny,,some of them;p;),,

all in all,,can be and excisting game ,,stil lis but not too much;p;)) or get ur hopes too much up;p anyway hf;),, i did but not too much;)

Super Mario 3D Land Review for Nintendo 3DS.

At first I was very excited about a new 3D Super Mario game because of how much I have enjoyed all the 3D Mario adventure games over the years, and boy was I right to be excited. This game is just plain fun, and that's it need to be. To the point, simple, and creative. Mario games have the "special" charm included in every game and you are guaranteed to have a blast.

As far as game play goes, it's great! If you've never liked Mario games then you won't like this one, but if you've always loved them then you're absolutely sure to love this one. The game did a great job of having a small sense of exploration along with a simple and fun objective, which is to get to the end of the level and jump to the top of the Mario flag pole.

The goal of the game is simple: Save Peach from Bowser. No originality whatsoever, but none is needed. We don't expect a great story from Mario games, we expect a ton of fun, and this game is a ton of fun. There are fun powers to get like fire Mario, raccoon Mario, and boomerang Mario. My only complaint for this game would have to be how easy it is. I understand that it's aimed toward children AND adults, but you can definitely get through levels with ease.

The graphics and 3D features are nice and very good looking. The fact that it's on the Nintendo 3DS really immerses you within the experience more rather than just a normal screen, so that's always fun.

Don't get me wrong, the game CAN be hard at points, but overall, it's just pure fun you kind of glide and sale through. The levels are well designed and fun to explore, with small side objectives like collecting the 3 special coins in every map, it keeps the game feel less linear, but nothing can over shadow the fact that the game is simple.

Super Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS is a great game, full of fun and memorable moments, but it's way too easy for the majority of the game. I you're looking for a challenge; look elsewhere. If you're looking for fun; look no further!

I give the game an 8.5 Great!

Bioshock Infinite for PlayStation 3 review


Bioshock has been a favorite series of mine especially with the first one, the second one being okay in my opinion. So you could imagine I was pretty excited for this game. When I first started playing the first thing that caught my eye was the absolutely beautiful graphics. As I continued playing I found myself more and more pulled in by the interesting story and fun and addictive game play. Sure, the game IS less RPGish and more Action-oriented, but it's all in good fun. You really begin to fall in love with this Elizabeth character you have with you, the narrative and dialogue amongst her and you is delightful and fresh. Never once in this game was I thinking, "ooh shut up" or "you're annoying". She's actually quite helpful in combat and does just the right amount of help and not too much to annoy you in any way. Not to mention you also DO NOT have to protect her while you fight, which is very nice and doesn't effect game play.

The story gets better and better as you go on and I don't want to spoil anything but this game is definitely on par with epic stories like Half-life and Halo. You don't want to put the game down. Throughout the campaign there are a couple choices that effect you later, which gives you some control of what happens, all in all though it's a linear experience. You have the freedom to kill enemies in unique ways and the freedom to pick what upgrades and what vigors to use, but mostly, the game is pretty straight forward.

The game is not particularly long and to me, it wasn't very hard either. If you consider yourself good at first-person shooters then you should pick Hard difficulty. I found myself killing enemies way too quickly once I got the weapons I wanted and upgraded my guy the way I wanted to. Bioshock Infinite truly has new experiences and original, refreshing ideas throughout the game that will entice you and really draw you in. It's just plain fun, and it was well worth the wait. Re-playability? Yes. Lasting value? Yes. Lots of customization? No. Very good story? Yes. Amazing graphics? Yes. Difficulty? Try hard.

In this game we catch up with Ezio where he travels to the east and explore new area of the world. We see a very mature Ezio compared to the others, and we notice he is more patient and he has become older. In this new game he starts with basicly new sleight and leaves everyone from Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood. New characters and targets are the focus to refuse the templars to take over this beautiful new city and kingdom. The mechanics are what you are used to in earlier games of the earlier games. It has more upgrades as found in the two earlier games and you are still able to conquer areas and buy shops to upgrade the gear and get more money. This game also introduces bombs which you can use as decoys, distractions and as weapons.

The Bad:
The bad thing that sticks out, is that this game is more of the same and doesn't really have any big new update avaliable for it. There is no graphics update for it, it looks a little better than the others, but doesn't have any real new update. It also lacks in variety when it comes to new missions, they will seem familiar to old players

The Good:
The gameplay has been refined and his better than ever with. New animations and better combat gives it the best combat system to date in the series. The upgrades for the weapon is just as good as the previous game, and doesn't ruin it, but introdouces some new weapons in it instead of just copy and pasting.

The underground puzzles are actually more fun and very well done this time around. They have a total new feel and it's not the same slow paced platform puzzles as the last ones in the series. These are more fun in the sense that you just run through them as fast as possible trying to reach your targets in some of them. The bombs also make for a nice new addition to make the gameplay more dynamic and trying to do something new.

The story starts with a bang, but goes slowly after the first sequence and slowly builds up. This game may lack supporting characters that Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood, but having Altair and fewer stronger characters in this game is refreshing. This game is probably the most heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time in the series. It's a really well told story of both Ezio and the flashbacks of Altair. It's a worthy ending to both Ezio and Altair, and it truly shows us how great of characters those two are.

The setting doesn't have the same flair as the two earlier games in the series, but it's beautiful to look at. It has also challenges for the player to explore as much as the earlier games.

DC 2 is slighlty worse than its predecessor ,,but ,,



now : i liked the dino crisis games ;p



they where most fun and scary-fun and intense,,not as good as the re-evil games though but not very far from it,,



dino crisis is not drasticly different from re-evil Or its own Predecessor ,,in terms of gameplay how the specifiic char moves and control and plays o nscreen,,and well as the cheesy dialog as well as akward moments,,intense music,,options and menu screens,,and so on;p ,,



just wish that dino crisis 2 where as superior and superb as the first dino crisis game;p,,but its not better,,here's whats wrong with dino crisis 2,,


--story is weaker,,locations are less intersting,,camera is weaker,,glitches and weaknesses in the graphics,,graphical problems,,dino crisis 2 simply do not play as good as the first one or looks,,textures looks worse and so on;),,

dino crisis 2 dont really offer something very new since dino crisis 1,,but makes the game slighlty worse than D-C number 1,,

story is not the best,,worse than the first pne


but for me i often play games for the story anyway,,and the story in dino crisis 2,,delivers but are far weaker than that one found in the first one,,and makes less sense ,,if this actually happened after the first one,,i scratch my head,,..


--anyway DC 2 is still likeable and a very good game,,and a good enough follow up to DC 1 on some levels,,but far from all,,


i would or can still recommend this game for the hardcore fans out there;),,and play it after the first one Dc1,,but do not have too much high expectations or get your high hopes too high ;p

,,still,,..

graphics are enjoyable but worse;),, locations are still enjoayable but less intersting than the first one;p


music is as always pretty intense ,,


still clever art though,,but the textures,,and the graphics looks and seems more weaker and also some graphical performances and or glitches;p,,

animations is good but not great,,also compared when looking back to the first dino crisis game;p,.-

also the camera is weaker somehow;p,,

options,,menues screen are just right an dsomewhat excations,,


also there are new things i nthe game but not too much,,like weapons and so on,,new enemies,,char and so on;p


--++puzzles are as always nice,,maybe standard here,,i dont know;p


still though ..


Still I Liked the game,,but slightly dissapointed;;);pp,,


dino crisis is a good follow up,,not a great follow up;p


we can discuss Later --
why DC 2 is not better than the first one

A great technical racing game with the F1 licence. This game is an excellent example of how you use your licence exactly how it is suppose to be used. The Formula 1 has several modes where you can get a challenge out of the game. There is the Proving Grounds, Champions Mode and the Career modes to explore.
Proving grounds is a good way to casual players to be introduced to the game. Championship Mode gives the player a challenge by going against the biggest stars in challenges to beat them. Career mode has the regular mode to be expected out of a career mode. Where the player progresses and gets contracted to the bigger teams and trying to get to the top.
The bad:
The presentation of the game seems generic and has no personality to it. There is a certain slick look to it, but it doesn't really say a lot about the game.
The game can be very punishing for those that aren't very experienced with the game. If you make a mistake it can cost you dearly if you aren't careful. The tutorial does introduce you to the game and what is in it, but it is very short and doesn't have a lot of depth for new players in the series. There is also not a lot of help for newcomers how to tune the car or go deeper. But that can be explored if you have patience and play the game a lot. Experienced players won't have a hard time here.
The Good:
The racing experience might be the most technical in the racing genre to date. If you handle the car right and know what to do with it, then there is a lot of reward for the player and the game will become just plain fun to play.
All of the modes can give you enough challenge for some time, and if you don't find that challenging enough, there is always the option to turn assists off.
The online part of the game is really strong, and can be quite fun. There is no issue with lag spikes in the game, unless the player has a shady internet connection.
The gameplay is solid in every way, though it can take time to get quite the hang of things. It will be fun when you can master tracks and corners on tracks like the stars.
The sound is also magnificent to hear when you play. The roar of the engine is magnificent to hear and really gives life to the game
It's a great game overall, might be a little tough for newcomers. But if you spend some time with the game it is a game to be enjoted for racing lovers.

Tomb Raider has a whole new take on Lara Croft and her adventures.It starts with a young version of Lara Croft shipwrecked on a mysterious island and she finds herself lost and captured by a bunch of mystics that worships an ancient goddess.
The Bad:
If there is anything bad about it it would be that the multiplayer seems tacked on and isn't really necessary for the game. Even though the multiplayer has some potential it has too few modes and variety to make it compete with other multiplayer games in the action genre.
The Good:
The story is great, it's not over the top, but has some sci-fi elements to it. It's a perfect balance and make Lara really stand out. The other characters are great and support Lara making this a strong story. But in the end it is Lara's story, she really stands out and it shows her struggle and courage through the entire game. The pacing of the game is also really good. You don't start out guns blazing, but has a carefully thought beginning. It starts slowly and then goes deep into what the island is and who Lara really is. She seems scared and vulnerable at first, but her courage is huge and really makes Lara a strong character.
The gameplay is really strong and you can upgrade weapons and skills that make the way you play and your tools more effective as you progress through the game. It is deep enough to explore and have fun with. The puzzles through the game can be very challenging to some, and you might have to search the net for some walkthroughs. In the end they can also be done with patience and a little thought.
The island has really it's own life and brings life to the game with animals and it's own mystisism. The different areas are really well thought out and sometimes just looking at the view of the island can be stunning.
The graphics are really stunning. Just looking at the ocean or hunting deer, it is a really beautiful game and it shines through that the style they went for this game.
The voiceover for all the characters and Lara are top notch and gives more life to Lara and her fellow crew members and the island itself. It also gives all of the characters more credibility and makes the story better overall.
The audio is spot on and doesn't too much and doesn't too little to make anything overly dramatic, but doesn't overlook anything either.
If you like Action games, and a little more adult take on the Tomb Raider series it is a must have.
