Lost Planet 2 Review

Feature-for-feature, Lost Planet 2 should be an improvement over the original. It sports four-player online co-op, a robust multiplayer mode complete with unlockable goodies, and impressive visual design with lots of variety and artistic flair. Yet amazingly, this third-person sci-fi shooter represents a major step backward for one important reason: It isn't much fun. Not only did developer Capcom not address the problems of the original, but it exacerbated them. Fundamental design flaws inhabit almost every gameplay mechanism. Awful mission design leaves you wondering how to proceed; abysmal AI makes playing on your own an exercise in masochism; and an overreliance on knockback attacks and other bizarre design choices are sure to inspire worldwide epidemics of controller-throwing rage. Not even replacing your three useless AI companions with real-life buddies alleviates all of the pain because the frustrations are woven into the very fabric of the experience. Entertaining multiplayer modes and some enjoyable, larger-than-life battles against looming insectoids lift Lost Planet 2 out of the abyss, though even those aspects aren't without their problems. This is a beautiful game you desperately want to like, yet it goes out of its way to punish you for it.

After the nuclear holocaust the humanity is extinct. Only few survivors found a shelter in the Moscow subway system. About 100 stations became each one a city-state,with their own ideology, alliances and wars. In the dark tunnel terrible forces are mortifying the humans. On the surface mutants took over. A peripheral station suffers an invasion of horrible black beings. 24 years old Artiom, a citizen of this station, has the mission to take the information about this invasion to the central stations, where lies the political power of the dying human civilization. Artiom has to cross over hostile stations and deadly tunnels. At the end he manages to get the message and helps to destroy the source of the black beings. But at the end he realizes that all this was a terrible mistake.

Dragon Age - Origins Review

After pushing into more action-oriented fare with "Mass Effect" and "Jade Empire," BioWare returns to the fantastic RPG formula laid out in "Knights of the Old Republic." Combat is perhaps a bit more active, though it can be paused at any time by opening up an easy-to-navigate radial menu, which provides quick access to all spells, talents, inventory items and so on. Console versions of the game allow up to six quick use talents/spells/items to be mapped to face buttons (X/Y/B on the 360, Square/Triangle/Circle on the PS3), with the right trigger used to switch between the two sets. Perhaps not as adaptable as the controls afforded by a QWERTY keyboard, but functional nonetheless.

Borderlands Review

On the Xbox360 platform there is no other game like it! It has cartoon graphics with a touch of Fallout and Mad Max feel to it.

This game playing on your own or with others will take you around 17 hours to complete, it has a massive collection of weapons to choose from and depending on if you are playing on your own or with another 3 friends the gameplay style will change!

I recommend this game to anyone who has Xbox Live as it is extemely fun when your playing with your friends!

Review on Splinter Cell Conviction

Splinter Cell Conviction was overall a good game however it has rolled into the category of alot of recent game releases of a 5 hour completion game..

The gameplay of conviction is indepth aswell and much like the last splinter cell titles you need to plan your actions ahead and think before you attack.

Also has new added features such as the interigation features where the surrounding areas become interactive such as slamming someones head in a fridge freezer!

Overall I would recommend this game however as I mentioned it is reasonably short!
