Need For Speed: SHIFT

Need For Speed Shift is the latest iteration in the Need For Speed series, it's a complete overhaul trying to win its fans back. If you don't already know, this game is meant to be a sim (Simulation) so you'll be racing on tracks not streets. Well the good news is that it isn't doing a terrible job at it. The games visuals are beautiful and the RPG (Role-Playing Game) like gameplay truly make this a fun game. You get rewarded for pretty much anything you do. You can then use what you've earned to upgrade your car, unlock more races, better cars, etc. This gameplay really drives you to keep on playing, trying to get further and further.

The Beatles: Rock Band

The Beatles: Rock Band is a good game with some things that a few might wish were different. The game only has 45 songs which kinda sucks, though not as much as the fact that none of the Rock Band DLC (Downloadable Content) songs are playable. One thing to note is that the entire set list is comprised of only The Beatles songs. There are also no customizations to be made, you play as The Beatles and that's it, though they do change depending on the venue in which your playing. There is also the ability to use up to 3 mics while singing which is something new to Rock Band. In the end the games story mode is what fans will look forward to the most as you follow the career of The Beatles from the beginning to the end, any fan will enjoy watching them grow throughout the years. Much like Guitar Hero's band iterations, there are unlockable photographs and videos. It is obvious it's targeted towards true fans of the band, and true fans will have a great time.

Guitar Hero 5

Guitar Hero 5 is the best guitar hero yet. The amount of additions this game has are amazing. By far the greatest addition to the game is party play mode. Once the game is turned on it will start playing through the library of songs that are available, at any time if you hear a song that you like all you have to do is press one button on your instrument of choice and you'll start playing it. You can add other players, get rid of players, change the difficulty, or change the song, all without the trouble of quitting that the past games have had. This is the most accessible music game to date.

Batman: Arkham Asylum

The games story is about Batman returning The Joker to Arkham Asylum. When things suddenly take a twist as he arrives, the Bat soon realizes that it was all a setup. The Joker intended to go back to what he calls "home" so he can release all the criminals Batman has put away, to destroy him. It's story is basically you being in what would be considered Batman's hell. When it comes to gameplay, it's awesome, the fighting style is crisp and unique along with its graphics. The story is also sharp and exciting, as you encounter some of Batman's greatest foes. There is lots of fun to be had with this game that's for sure. This is as close as you will ever get to feeling like Batman, the developers took there time to give you a truly awesome experience. If there was one thing I'd complain about it would just be that the game isn't long enough. It is with out a doubt the best Batman game ever created.

Wolfenstein

You play as B.J. Blazkowicz an agent who discovers an artifact that the enemy can use as a weapon. You get missions from contacts and then decide which ones you want to do, giving you a feeling of freedom. Your weapons are upgradeable, and your weapon range is quite nice, you can go from standard realistic weapons to more sci-fi type weapons. There's also special powers given to you from an amulet that allows you to see things otherwise unnoticed, along with other features. The multiplayer component isn't all that great though, offering a discouraging three modes compared to what us FPS (First-Person Shooter) fans are used to with games like Call of Duty and Killzone.

Madden 10

Madden 10 emulates the real feel of a football game and looks beautiful while doing it. Though of course as any other game it has a few hiccups. We all know its going to appeal to football fans either way but at least its worth noting that it really is a good game from its presentation to its controls.

G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra

As most movie tie-in games, it sucks, plain and simple, its one of those games that was probably rushed and made in a year, the ones made just to milk people for some more money. The controls suck, it has co-op, what more can I say?

Fat Princess

Released on the PSN (PlayStation Network), Fat Princess costs $15 and contains multiple modes along with support for up to 32 players. The game's main mode involves you trying to return your princess home from the enemy and protect her until the time is up while the enemy tries to do the same. You basically have to get the princess from one end to another and keep her there, the problem is the enemy will feed her if they get the chance which in turn makes her fatter, thus making it hard to move her as fast as you'd like. Fat Princess offers hours of fun and excitement for everyone.

The King Of Fighters 12

It was meant to put The King Of Fighters series back on the map but completely failed in that attempt. The game lacks in many aspects, from characters and stages to story and modes. It is not worth the full retail price of $60 with all of its limited content though true fans of the series may still find enjoyment playing against a friend.

G-Force

G-Force is generally a pretty fun game. Though its primarily for kids you'll find yourself having a good time fighting toasters and mice amongst other enemies. As with most games you'll be able to upgrade the variety of weapons from which you have. Though this is a movie tie in game it doesn't do much to tell you the story, maybe they were expecting people to see the movie then play the game?, I don't know. Something that's unique is how the game comes with 2 3D glasses for you to use if the option is turned on, just don't go expecting something extravagant though. At times the game can feel somewhat long. Seeing as how it is directed towards children the game is not hard and provides help at any time with the press of a button.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger is a 2D fighting game filled with fast paced action, beautiful design, a bunch of unlockables, great characters, etc. BlazBlue will probably appeal to most fighting fans and maybe even those somewhat interested in fighting games. The controls are fluid and accessible but at the same time can be used for some sick fighting skills. Match replays from online multiplayer can be saved and viewed later in the games replay theater. One thing that makes this game different from most fighting games is how the story mode offers 3 different pathways for each fighter.

Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood

It's the prequel to the original Call of Juarez. The game is about Ray and Thomas McCall, two brothers who left the army to save there family. When there town gets destroyed they vow to restore it which then leads them west on the search for gold. Due to there absence from the army, they are set to be hunted down. At some point while on the run you meet someone who gives you information about a treasure. Throughout the game you'll have the option of playing as either Ray or Thomas. Each brother has there own style and unique attributes, whether it's being strong or agile, you choose. Some side missions are offered to you but for the most part you'll find yourself just traveling and killing people which for some can seem repetitive and others just plain fun. You'll also be able to duel which is really cool and tests your reflexes.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen

Your given the choice of playing as either the Autobots or the Decepticons. Like the movie, its about figuring out who or what The Fallen is. One really awesome thing is the ability to switch between each transformation on the fly, its really fun jumping as you transform from a car to a robot. The controls aren't well thought out though, which sucks. The developers should have chosen better controls instead of having one button do three different things. At times it tends to seem somewhat repetitive considering the majority of the game consists of "kill everything", but for those of you who enjoy that this wont be a problem. You'll find fun in the multiplayer due to being able to play against real people instead of the computer, along with its different modes.

Guitar Hero: Smash Hits

Guitar Hero: Smash Hits is a compilation of what are considered the best songs from Guitar Hero 1, 2, 3, Rock the 80's, and Aerosmith. What makes this game fun is the fact that now you'll be able to play all the songs you love from those games with the whole band!. This is a real plus for those of us with a love for singing or drumming seeing as how the Guitar Hero franchise has had some truly awesome songs in there older iterations. The only thing that I don't understand is why this wasn't made as DLC (Downloadable Content). The game has nearly 50 songs in total so don't expect anything more. Another not welcomed addition is the fact that now songs that used to be hard aren't as hard which takes away from the competitiveness.

Prototype

Think of this game as The Hulk Ultimate Destruction with some new paint and added work. Prototype is one of the most fun games you'll find today.

Virtua Tennis 2009

Virtua Tennis 2009 does not improve much over its predecessor and feels like more of a minor upgrade then a new experience. For those looking for something new, you'll be disappointed seeing as how the game doesn't offer much as far as "New" goes. Amongst everything that is new the one thing that seems worth mentioning is the fact that now the game can be played online which is new to the series. What does make this game fun though is the amount of effort it takes to get to the top, you must go through practice matches, mini-games (that are a little out of the ordinary), and of course tournaments if you want to be among the best. Seeing as how the game offers so little over its last installment leaves me to feel that if you own Virtua Tennis 3 your not missing out on much.

Red Faction: Guerrilla offers a ton of destruction and fun. The games main premise involves you freeing zones from the EDF (Earth Defense Force). It takes place on Mars and is more fun then interesting. You pretty much get to destroy anything, the explosions are just great. Depending on how you decide to destroy a structure dictates how it crumbles to the ground. While trying to free zones players have access to story and side missions. You can even purchase and upgrade your weapons and tools. There are a variety of online modes that include the same level of destruction and the different types of weapons / tools, whether it be a gun, hammer, or backpack, etc, either way your bound to enjoy yourself with up to 15 other players.

Fuel

Fuel is a racing game that that involves you racing on rough terrain along its map which is with out a doubt massive. It offers the ability to switch in and out of free-ride mode at any time. Fuel is what the games money is known as, so every time you win a race you get fuel which can then be used to purchase vehicles and other camps to get more races from. Races can be accessed by driving around and finding them or through your menu. One fun thing about fuel are the races and the fact that you can take any means to get to a check point so if you don't like staying on the road then you'll enjoy yourself except its usually harder when not sticking to the main route and as we all know you gotta be number 1 to win. Fuel gives you a lot to explore but some may not find that as exciting as others and just wanna get into a race. One major flaw is how the game reloads every time you crash. It makes no sense why this should happen, we all wanna see awesome crashes like we do in burnout. The A.I. can be hard or really easy at times which isn't necessarily a fun thing.

Infamous offers upgrades to your powers that truly make you feel powerful, from lightning bolts to lightning grenades along with a karma system that is amazingly fun. The controls are as fluid and simple as anyone can ask for. This game is just pure fun to play through, especially more then once.

Damnation

Oh man, I don't know where to start, this is going to be a very short review considering there is only but so many ways you can say something sucks. Everything that you can think of pretty much sucks in this game, from frame-rate, loading, controls, graphics, multiplayer, and story (seeing as how you wont play long enough to figure it out). To put it simply this game is better served as a paper weight or some money back from Gamestop. The one thing that is nice is the games cover, other then that some of the environments might look nice but that's it.

UFC 2009: Undisputed

UFC 2009: Undisputed graphics are amazing and it truly captures the real feel of a UFC fight. The roster for this game is incredible, featuring 80 fighters.

Bionic Commando

Bionic Commando takes place several years after the original. Like it's predecessor the game revolves around the main character Nathan's bionic arm. The controls are difficult at first and will take time and patience before you find yourself swinging around wildly. How the gameplay works around the arm is really fun, you have the ability to grab enemies, launch cars, and grapple onto pretty much anything. You'll be able to travel large distances once you get the hang of it. One frustrating thing about the game is collecting items, items will not be counted as collected until you reach a checkpoint whilst having it, if you happen to die before a checkpoint it is no longer collected and you must get it again. It's multiplayer doesn't do justice either seeing as how it's pitted more towards run and gun combat though as mentioned earlier the games emphasis is on the bionic arm.

Terminator Salvation

Terminator Salvation does too many things wrong. For starters Christian Bale didn't lend his likeness nor his voice to the main character which makes the game seem kinda stupid considering he is the main star. I personally feel it takes away from the authenticity of what movie games are supposed to be. Next comes the fact that the game can be completed within 4 hours, now the average game nowadays is already short being about 12 hours long so just imagine what 4 hours is like. On top of the game being short it gives players no incentive to go back by offering no replay value. I mean we can deal with short games as long as they have some type of replay value, but this game doesn't. The game does offer co-op, but not online just split-screen so you be the judge of that.

Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic

Rag Doll  Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic was released on the PSN (PlayStation Network) for $10. This game is weird and funny, but then gets boring and doesn't really make you want to play more then a few times. The song that plays over and over again while in the menu gets really annoying real fast. It's gameplay is different and fun but can also be very frustrating when trying to get a high score considering its not that easy for some of the challenges. It has multiplayer but not online which is a draw back. Just as its name suggests it's gameplay uses rag doll physics. It also offers a create a player system which is amusing and fun just don't go expecting your character to look anything like you. When you beat the challenges and get certain scores you'll unlock more items for your created character to wear such as boxing gloves, bear ears, etc.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena

Assault on Dark Athena comes with an updated version of Escape From Butcher Bay. Due to this being something more along the lines of two games this review will be a bit longer. It's sad that the best thing about Assault on Dark Athena is the updated Escape From Butcher Bay. Though its a FPS (First-Person Shooter) the game is more of a stealth action game. You can obviously go in guns blazing, just don't expect to live very long or get very far seeing as how it only takes a few shots to kill you. You are given some side missions and time to talk to prisoners about how to escape seeing as how that is the general purpose, hence its title.

Guitar Hero: Metallica

Guitar Hero: Metallica is filled with Metallicas most loved songs and venues along with the music that influenced them. It supports all Guitar Hero instruments from the mic to the drums. It even has added support for an extra pedal to make drummers feel like Lars Ulrich himself playing double pedal. There's cool on-stage effects to truly make it feel like a Metallica concert. The game doesn't have a huge tack list like the regular Guitar Hero (49 songs) and does not support most DLC (Downloadable Content) but still easily rocks.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate

Wanted: Weapons of Fate is an ok game overall. The game focuses a lot around a cover system that is exciting and unique as it helps bring the fast paced action that you'd want from a game like this to life. Like the movie you'll be able to curve bullets and perform other actions, just make sure you pay attention to your adrenaline bar because if you don't have any adrenaline then your out of luck. Though the cover system works out perfect its flaw lies in how much the game relies on it, you'll find that the game is very repetitive. You pretty much follow the same plan, go from cover to cover and shoot until you get to the end. As if this wasn't bad enough you will only be doing this for about 5 hours long considering that's how long it will take you to complete it. Even with all this, what truly makes a game like this no more then a rental is the fact that it gives you no reason to ever go back and play it again as it offers nothing more, not even multiplayer.

The Wheelman

It's story is seriously lacking considering it offers no real reason why your doing the things you do throughout the game.From the start your given a very vague explanation of what the game is about and that explanation will be the only one you'll have. As for gameplay, the game can be fun for a few hours if your bored and have nothing better to do, but that's it. The graphics don't do it justice but you have a series of different moves you can do while in a vehicle such as jump from one vehicle into another or spin your car to shoot behind you and some more, because of these fun elements the graphics don't really bother. Though the game is accessible it is stupid and doesn't even offer multiplayer leaving it as nothing more then a weekend rental.

Resident Evil 5

Resident Evil 5 is an action packed game that as in past Resident Evil games has you stuck in the middle of a virus outbreak. The game offers some really fun co-op both offline and online. It's considered by some to be Resident Evil 4 with updated graphics, which it can feel like, the thing is this isn't a bad thing since it was an amazing game, it just makes it feel like nothing new has been added. One major complaint that most people have with this game is the fact that you cannot move and shoot, apparently its to make everything more intense. For some this really sucks considering we all wanna run and shoot but for others it helps it stay true to the series which not much of this game does. You'll find its not the kind of Resident Evil game that your used to, it's more a fun action game then a survival horror one. It doesn't truly scare you like the past games did.

MLB 09: The Show

MLB 09: The Show is as real as a baseball game gets, this is definitely the game for all baseball fans. The game is packed with features. One awesome feature is the sounds of the show feature which allows you to customize your own home run songs, batter walk-ups, etc. from your PS3's hard drive. The game even allows you to record your favorite plays. Even with all this the its the road to the show that is truly fun, you get to create a character and see what it's really like to make it in the big leagues. There's all the fun of a real baseball game just without the people sitting next to you.

Afro Samurai

Afro Samurai is a pure hack and slash game. The story is about Afro trying to avenge his fathers death. The controls are as simple as they get with a button for blocking, light attacks, and heavy attacks. Like the amine this game is gruesome and has limbs being cut off all over the place with blood going everywhere from the screen to the streets. Throughout the game you'll have a pendant that gives you some special abilities, such as the ability to slow down time or go into hyper mode. As much as all of this sounds nice the games camera is horrid. The camera rarely focuses on you, leaving you to repeatedly put it in focus, this is really annoying when fighting a ton of enemies. As if this wasn't bad enough the left/right camera is inverted and cannot be changed, though the up/down camera can be, but as with all the games options they can only be changed from the games main menu which is really annoying and pointless.

Skate 2

As with some sequels it improves over the original. Some new elements have been added while leaving what was good as is. You now have the ability to get off your board and walk around which is nice though feels very uncomfortable in the way its executed, the way you have to control your walking and how the camera angle is some of the worst I've seen, its just plain uncomfortable. One plus from being able to get of your board is that now you can move objects around such as ramps, benches, rails, etc.This makes pulling off some crazy trick lines even more fun now that you have more control on how you pull them off. You now have access to even more tricks which is always a plus, hand plants are no possible along with foot plants, hippy jumps, and more. One major "Why would you do that?" is how the games film element that was present in the first game is now being charged for as DLC (Downloadable Content).

The Lord Of The Rings: Conquest

The Lord Of The Rings: Conquest allows you to play through two campaigns being either the good guys or the bad guys. It is obviously heavily influenced by Star Wars: Battlefront. From the start of the game you will only have access to the good campaign, once done you unlock the bad one. The main gameplay for both is the same, the only thing that changes is the characters in which you will be using. Though your given the option of picking between a mage, warrior, archer, or scout, its exactly the same in both campaigns which doesn't do much for those looking for variety. Throwing combos sucks since pressing buttons doesn't mean you will get the response you want, instead one move must be completely finished until another one is performed, this takes a lot a way from the feeling this game should have. The game does have online, but only has 4 modes and from the matches we've played it was more just war then strategy, and wasn't much fun.

Rock Band 2

Rock Band 2 is a fun exciting party game that makes you feel like your truly a part of a band. When playing on the higher difficulties its as if the notes match the real thing and your really playing the song. This game is definitely addictive along with some great tracks on disc and available to download.

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is surprisingly an ok game. The game features a total of 22 characters from both sides along with some new fighting mechanics. Introduced into the series are free fall fighting (when players fight in the air as both fighters are falling to a lower level in an arena), rage mode (makes you stronger and allows you to break your opponents guard), klose kombat (both fighters exchanging hits for a few as the camera zooms in), and test your might (when a fighter is smashed through a series of walls and both players must repeatedly tap buttons), they are fun but nothing groundbreaking. One thing that is cool is how throughout each fight your character will bruise and their clothes will tear. As for the story mode, both stories are pretty much the same. A portal has somehow been opened that allows both sides to cross each others worlds, you have the option of picking either side, though you play with a specific character depending on the cutscene. All in all, if your looking for a fun fighting game for a few hours then this is might be the game for you.
