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?

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.

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.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game

Ghostbusters: The Video Game plays out as if its the third film, and really makes you feel as if your a part of the team. The cut-scenes are nice and fun with the original cast of the movies adding there humor. Fans of the movie will love it while non-fans will see a pretty good game.

Red Faction: Guerrilla

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
