is going to wait to get resistance 2 for christmas

Ok so Mercenaries 2 is a sandbox action actventure game and is the sequal to the first game Mercenaries Playground of Destruction. You can play as either of the 3 mercenaries each with their own special ability. the story has you chasing a guy named Roman who screwed you over and didnt pay you and you have to work for a varity of actions to get info on him. So here's a breakdown.
Graphics: Some people say there not next gen and GS says they have their ups and downs well i can tell you now there are braillant. Whats not to like about them great looking explosions and fires tress look great and ooooooo that water NICE! the merc models look good but could have been better and the AI seem to be the same but the beatufiul envirnments make up for that. Sound: The sound is also great from the LOADS of vehicles in the game to the voice acting. Yeah so the AI can say the same stuff again but then you just blow em up with a air strike. Gameplay: Again whats not to like its a sandbox game where you (or even a friend) can do whatever you want and go wherever you want blowing everything and everyone up you see fit. GS mentions the missions are repetive NO THERE NOT i didnt find any missions repetivite since you can apprach them in different ways (blow everything up, sneak around ect.) Coop: This game lets two people play the entire game together isnt that great! You don't have to do missions you can just free roam (but you have to stay close to each other) you could go around collecting all the extras or just do your own thing its never gets old (stupid GS). You can also do some weapon challenges at the PMC to unlock costumes if there too hard to do by yourself Value: WTF GS 'huge world without much to do' what is wrong with this reviewer?!?!? Theres endless side missions to do 100 spare parts to collect and loads more. Glitches/Bugs: i think when GS says 'dozens' thats going a bit far. theres not that many and can be easily overlooked. OK thats the main things mentioned but here's the lowdown Good =) . Got to love that great looking water (good graphics) . Lots of different vehicles to choose from and order including civilan ones (bikes, pick ups junkers ect.) . Most things you can blow up . funny at times . great use of the menu system . Surprisenly steady frame rate . Fun co op play . Lots of stuff to do (unlike what GS says) Bad =( . yeah a few gltiches nothing majour . Could have been a better story . No online deathmatch . AI could have been improved slighty

Uncharted drakes fortune is properly the best exclusive PS3 exclusive game yet. You are Nate Drake a modern day treasure hunter and are trying to hunt down the treasure of El Dorado. You start by finding Sir francis drake's coffin and find his diary. You end up on an island and your search starts there.... Uncharted story is great as you progress through the game constant twists in the story keep you wanting for more. Is the treasure all that it seems.... The story is told by colourful cut scenes which work well and have great voice acting. Graphics - WOW. This game looks amazing. the jungles you are in look real with real colours, trees, leaves ground, sky there is even one bit where you see a sunset and I have never seen so good graphics on any game. 10/10 for graphics. The people are well textured and all look different from each other. A thing what did amaze me was when Nate goes in water he actually gets wet and you can clearly see it. Sound is great. Firstly the voice acting is good even if your enjoying it from cut scenes or just when wondering around. Another I loved in this game is the ramdom comments Nate makes during his adventure like 'What more, where do they keep coming from??' and 'Woah' and 'you have got to be kidding me' just things like that add to a game a great deal. You can hear all the usual jungle sounds and footsteps. The guns also sound good but could have been better. Gameplay. The gameplay is awsome and one of the best I have ever seen. Two main parts of it are puzzling and combat. Firstly puzzling. Way better then anything you have seen in tomb raider or anything like that. You can climb, jump and hand from a lot of objects and you have to find new ways round to reach different areas. secondly combat. The combat in uncharted is very unique. HUD is kept to a minemum with no health bar or rader which i guess is good and bad, however it works well. You can use almost anything as cover and shoot out at all the mercs after you. The AI is actually really good with them throwing grenades and flanking you if you stay in one area for too long. Uncharted is a game with great reply value. Once you complete it there are a whole bunch of reasons to play through it again. You may want to play it through again on a higher difficultly or to do things you didn't do the first time round. The reason i played it through agian and again is to get/unlock everything. There are 60 treasures to collect and medals and rewards to unlock which will keep you going for a while. Overall if you have a PS3 get this game, you can show it to your friends who have a 360 and go 'HA'. You won't be dissapointed. I think the only bad thing about this game is the gameplay is slightly uneven as it sort of goes: Combat, puzzling, conbat, puzzling, combat ect. and the game itslef could have been longer but other then that great!!

Tony hawk underground 2 is a great skateboarding game which anyone can enjoy. There is a lot to do on it to keep you busy for a while like completing both story and classic mode on all difficulties and finding all those pesky gaps. There is a lot of ways to customize the game to make it how you want, for example you can create your own skater and even download you image to make it so its like you in the game then there's lots of other stuff like make your own park, tricks, goals and even your own graffic which you can spary at anytime in the game. A good fun addition through the game is you get to ride all sorts of different vehicles ranging from a wheelchair to a bull. All in all THUG 2 is a most enjoying, challenging and fun game to play.

Black looks and plays good from the moment you turn it on.
The story is told out well you are a solider named Keller and each conversion he has refers to a mission which is then flashbacked so you get to play that mission. The first mission you play through is great which excellent graphics, glass breaking everywhere and intense shooting. At the end of each mission you get a stats screen the best feature on it I think is how many enemies you killed, did you get them all.....? The only two bad things about this game is towards the end you start to get a bit bored as it repeats itself and also the whole game itself doesn't last very long. If it wasn't for these it would have got a perfect 10.

Metal Gear Solid is an excellent game for anyone. If you have never played the series then it doesn't matter you can pick up and play this game easily. The way the game combines stealth with action is amazing. Instead of going in, guns blazing you have to actually avoid enemies if you don't want a hard time. It is not a good thing if you are caught as enemies just keep coming and coming soon you will run out of ammo or die so it is best to keep your head down on this game. The gameplay is great but so is the storyline. It is told very well with the use of cut-scenes which offer a nice break from gameplay and to follow the actual story. There is some simple puzzles to work out such as working out secret codec calls and avoiding lasers. Sound is great with the guns sounding great and the added effect of them sounsing differently depending on where you are (for example in an air duct or out in open space). The music for certain areas also changes. You could properly complete the game within a few hours if you rushed through it and skipped the cut scenes, but u'll properly want to play it through properly finding all the weapons and follow the story. You may also want to play it through again to see the added extras after completeing the game once. There is nothing particually bad about this game and that why it gets a perfect 10 out of 10!

I don't really see why so many people dislike this game. The game is great in every sense. Its story is not dull and boring its is told especically well. No other game has a unique story like this one. You start out young and hook up with a gang with a killer plan but then get turned on. During this part of the game you play 1978 where the cars buildings ect. look like they would in that era even the HUD is appropriate. Then you get thrown in jail and 28 years later get released and are out for your old gang members. During this time you character looks different there are different cars and the HUD has changed this is what makes it so great. No other game has achieved this. The cars handle realisticly and fell like proper cars. Free roaming around new york is great there is 260km of road to explore and along with the main missions there are side missions to do which makes the game last for ages (sure this is like GTA but who cares it works). You can now also shoot out of your car whilst driving which is a great new addidtion. Speaking of cars there are almost endless numbers you can drive (80+). A really cool part of this game is fully collecting and customizing the vehicle's you come across. Overall sure it may be similar to GTA but there is so much to do in this game and a good veriety of things to do.

Ok here's the thing you either love this game or not and I would think most people love it. The game has two games in one, one you play as solid snake on a tanker mission and raiden on the plant mission. The story line is excellent and told with the use of lenthy cut scenes which work really well and look amazing. The graphics are fantastic from the detail of the guns you aim to the cloths that you where and the detail of the tanker and the big shell. When you are high up on the plant chapter (strut E heliport is a good place) I would highly advice that you just look through your scope to see the detail of everything. The sound is excellent which each weapon making a different and unique noice, there is different themed music for sneaking around different areas and getting caught. Voice acting is great (and it should be for all the talking in this game). The gameplay for MGS2 is amazing you do a veriety of things such as bomb disposel, using disguises, swim, hang of ledges and much more. The game itself will last for a long time if you take in the story, but even then you will want to play it again and again to seek out things you may have missed, collect all weapons and items and play on different difficultly settings. The main reason to keep at the game however is dog tags. There is lots to collect, basically they are name tags on the soliders which you can collect and they are different on all of the difficulties. All in all i got this game when it first came out and still play on it to this game, in my thought I think it will remain one of the greatest games of all time.

I can't think of anything really wrong with this game. firstly its graphics are amazing and so is the gameplay. The story may be short but then the replay value kicks in because you will want to play through it over and over again to beat the game on all difficultly levels, then you will want to do all the challenges and unlock all characters and complete the game 100%. The story mode itself is funny and has great character models and voice acting. The game even opens itself up more when you play all the crazy game modes with a friend or bots. the weapons on the game range from revolvers to heatseeking rockets. they is a lot to choose from all from different time zones. The game lets YOU the player choose the game. You can choose which bots to play against create your own unquie weapon sets and more, yu can even create your own map to play on. overall this game is great fun with great graphics, gameplay, sound and replayability and should not be missed. fans of previous timesplitter games won't be disappointed and if you like any first person shooters try this one out!

Vice city stories on the psp what more could you want?
This game takes place before the events of the first vice city which already makes it have an interesting storyline. It tells the story of Lance's brother Vic who doesn't like dealing drugs but needs the money for his family. Vice city stories see's the return of many characters including Diaz, Lance and even Umberto who lives in his own house. Graphically it looks good for a psp game, although there may be some texture popping now and again but you can easily over look that. Sound wise again Rockstar have managed to keep cars and guns sounds to a great level and we also see the return of the 80's radio stations which provides songs for you to listen to wherever. Like other GTA games this will take a while to complete 100%, heck even the story missions are quite long compared to other GTA games. If you have anyone to play with the multiplayer modes are fun even with just two people. There are a lot of modes to choose from so there will be something for everyone. Overall this is a must for psp owners and provides a lost chapter in the GTA series!

Ok assassins creed is one a game which will be remembered for a long time. Firsly the graphics are amazing, I think its the best graphical game to date, everything from Altair to the massive environment with leaves growing from trees tall buildings which dont lose texture and the many people populating the holy land not many of them copies of each other. The sound in assassins creed is excellent. great voice acting by all the characters, sword fights sound great and realistic, and one cool feature of the game is ramdom people say stuff when they see you running and climbling. Storyline wise is awsome. You actually play as two people, the game is actually set in the future and you are Desmond who is really an assassin 9he doesnt know it) and the main doctor who is experimentinng on him is a templer (the assassins arch rivels). Desmond can go back to his ancester memories which is where most of the game takes place. Gameplay of assassins creed is good. Basically you undergo a mission which turns out badly and you get stripped of your rank and all throughtout the game you are trying to restore it by doing other assassinations throught 3 cities in the holy land. Right the bit why people dont like this game is they say it is repetitive. well it is to some extend but you will want to play the game anyway to see how all the story pans out. The map is HUGE on assassins creed which provides awsome free roming experience where you can just kill guards for fun (which is one of the best features of the game). It doesnt really have any reply value but there is a ton of flags (420) to collect and templers to kill (60). Control wise is does it good job. you can easily climb any climbable surface at will just by holding down one button and the controls used for combat worked well too. Overall assassins creed is the best graphical game to date and it just proves how good next gen consoles are. I would recommand it to anyone. Seriously get this game!!

Resistance was one of the lauch titles for the PS3 in 2006, and a great title it is. Resistance is all about 'aliens' called chimera. they were humans but have been infected and have been muted into chimera using conversion centres. In just two months the chimera took over all of Europe and have arrived at England. Which is where the game kicks of... You play as Hale a solider who is trying to defeat the chimera with the rest of humanity. Right at the beginning of the game he gets infected but nothing happens... So this makes you want to play the game through to see how that works out.... Resistance has good graphics for a first person shooter but considering its on a PS3 i cant shake the feeling that they could have been better (even some PS2 shooters look better). However graphics are still great from the AI teamates and all the different types of chimera and the environment and explosions look cool too. Sound is great with each gun making a different sound and the growls of the chimera and shouting and footsteps ect. What doesnt impress me however is the storyline and voice acting as Hale never says anything and there is proper cool lenghly cut scenes just a crappy (most of the time) black and white image or map with that woman talking. Gamplay is the best part of reistance, wherever you are in the game you will always be in an intence shootout with very good AI (which use cover and flank you). Resistance also has brillant online play which when played you can unlock loads of goodies (which i love) including ribbons, medals and even go up ranks and customise what your online character looks like. Replay value is here as hidden weapons can be found when you play the game through again and you can play through it again anyway to get even more goodies (skill points). There is a co op mode which is fun but isnt online which is kinds disappointing. resistance at times can be quite a scary game (i know i jumped when i was in a tight corrider and chimera jump out right in front of you and respawn behind you!!!) Overall reistance is a good quality game but it would have scored higher only if the story was more developed, if it had online co op and lastly i just cant shake the feeling more could be improved in this game...

The answer to all them questions is yes!
Burnout paradise is the first burnout game for next gen consoles. It goes in a different direction to the series because unlike the other arcade racing burnouts this has gone for the free roaming part. You are in paradise city which has tons to do in it, you start of as a rubbish driver which a learners permit and must win events to get better driving liences. Paradise city itself is huge with 250 miles of road to drive on (don't know why some people complain about its size?!) and at each junction with traffic lights you can start an event by doing a burnout in total there are 120 events to try and complete, event types include race. Now at first i found the races REALLY hard to do compared to other burnout games coz there is only a brief street sign flash when you must turn a corner and i always missed it but you do get used to it. There is the return of road rage where you must takedown other drivers. burnout routes are where you go from point a to b in a certain amount of time and win an upgrade for the car you do it in (ecah burning route requires a different car). Marked man which is where you must get from point a to b without getting wrecked, and finally stunt run where you do awsome stunts to score points!. Dont think it stops at events though ooooo no no no they is a whole bunch of stuff to do in paradise city. Every road in paradise city has to be 'ruled' which means betting its time and crashing on it which is done by steering your wreck into cars to get more boost which allows you to carry on rolling (this is an attempy to replace the much loved crash mode but ts still good) Then there are 50 jumps to jump, 120 billbords to smash and 400 smashes to smash, each rewarding a car for your hard efforts, they are drivethroughs to find, rewards to earn and more! you gotta work hard to get 100%! Graphically the game is amazing and shows why we all love next gen consoles. You can see shadopws of trees and mountains in the background and all the cars look and sound great which brings me too... Sound! The games sound is amazing which each car making their engine roar! ..... right now we get the vice acting, The DJ in the game is VERY GOOD! No one likes him (not even gamespot) but i do his voice acting is great and he always talks to you giving you hints and tips or other ramdom cool info. Now the music which EA has put in is again great (even though i seem to be the only one who thinks so...) There are quality tracks from burnout 1,2 and 3 how cool is that (ahh burnout 1 memory lane) and other tracks which are great. Gamplay does kinda get boring sometimes when you are far into the game (same type of events to do to get that elite licence), but is still great, As getting confused at the beginning of the game, this is true... but you soon get the hang of it. Online play... WOW. It is great no more lobbies just instanly freeburn with people and friends with no load times!!! You can compete to try and get the best drifts, oncoming, near misses ect, race and the best bit team up to complete 350 online challenges! This game is by far THE BEST RACING GAME EVER and is well worth racing fans money, heck even if you dont like racing games you will like this one! Only bad thing is it will get boring and hard when you have spent a LONG time on it. Dont let that put you of though, EXCELLENT GAME!!

Metal gear solid portable ops for the PSP is one of the greatest psp games available, its a must have for any PSP owner or any MGS fan.
The story of portable ops follows the events of MGS3: snake eater where you play as naked snake AKA Big Boss where you must dismantle a nuclear threat ignited by his former unit FOX. It helps if you have followed the MGS storyline up to now but newcomers will fit in here to. The gameplay of MGS PO is amazing considering its on the PSP. You can bult up your own army from getting rival soliders to join your side you can then use them in various Units such as Medical, technical and more. The main units are the sneaking ones who are the ones who actually carry out the mission. You can have spy units whihc you place on various places they then collect info for your squard such as a weapon may be discovered at that location then you can go and get it. Technical unit lets you devlop gadgets such as thermal googles NVG, mine detecors and a load of other stuff and the medical staff help you to heal faster. Your army can be as big as 100 soliders! As well as that you must work together with Roy Campball (should seem familar) whom you meet at the beginning of the game. you can do all the stuff you could on other MGS games like wall hug, jump out shots, crawl, aim and shoot in first person mode, hold up and much more. The famous CQC returns from MGS3 however is a bit tricky to master considering the controls. The gaphics are great for a portable game from the characters to the buildings and environment. Sanke still looks great and still has his eye patch... The levels could have been a bit bigger but considering who many different ones there are doesnt pose too much of a porblem. Now then sound... this is the reasons it didn't get a 10. Although the sound is great from footsteps to gun sounds and the good voice acting in the cut scenes, there are places its just doesnt exsist. firstly in the famous CODEC scenes n all other MGS games you can hear the voices now theres dead silence and you have to read everything, thihs is the same for the briefing screen with Roy 'talking' but you actually having to read the text again. Other little bits include when you have someone and are intergating them snake just always says 'talk' and then the hostage scream, but at the bottom of the screen its actually tells you what they meant to says such as 'don't kill me..' instead of them actually saying it. If the sound was more worked on this game would have been excellent. The PSP game comes with online play! A feature which most PSP games don't have i was looking forward to playing MGS online.... it didn't dissapoint with a varity of modes and the works including personal scores and ranking online is very fun and can kill a lot of time, unfortunatly nowa days the servers don't seem very crowed..... Overall this game is great for well anybody, its way better then the other crappy MGS acid games for the psp. If you can afford it get it! The story is very deep and last a while and with reply value for side missions and excellent gameplay it just says 'pick me up before you go go'.

Well of course it is!. So GTA IV is properly the most hyped game ever but has it lived up to it? Well i can easily answer that with yes. This game is amaing in every way and has successfully done things which other games haven't even tried or been successful at doing. Im not just talking about one thing im talking about a lot things so....
GTA IV story. Thats a 10/10. The story is this one is better then other GTA games. You begin as Niko Bellic just coming from easten Europe to America to live the 'Amercian dream' like his cousin Roman. Howveer when he arrives his cousin turns out to be not rich and Niko comes to a grotty apartment. So form here your first few missions are from your cousin seeing as he's the only person you know but then you meet new people and we learn more about why Niko has come to liberty city.... the missions in this game are more varied given mutiple options as to whether you kill someone or not which affects the story later on, the actual missions are longer and more challenging as well. the main part will last you way longer then in other GTA games. One of the biggest additions is the mobile phone which Niko has this can be used to access mutiplayer and call contatcs to get work, whether that be main missions or side missions you can recive texts and even customise your ring tone and other cool stuff. You can also play through a SIXAXIS tutorial which lets you use the control to drive and reload (ha ha 360). the gameplay in GTAIV is amazing. Its like other GTA games except with a hell of a lot of additions which just make it so much better. The mian one been the cover system, which lets Niko blind fire jump put and shoot a bit like Uncharted drakes fortune, howver this can be a bit glitchy at times, keep playing around with it ull see what i mean. on this game you can still have girlfriends and buy new clothes although not as many available in san andreas theres still enough. You can also use internet cafes to go on the internet and check e-mails. Ammunation and pay n sprays are still present but arent as easy to use on this game becuase you can't enter ammunation with a wanted level and to use pay n sprays you have to go in without been spotted by the police. in ammunation instead of side scorlling and aselcting the weapon like in previous games you can walk up to the model and examine it before decing to buy it. The graphics in GTA IV are amaing and look great compared to previous games. liberty city really feels alive with dust bins out on the streets to tramps in allayways. The game looks great close up and far away objects thanks to the PS3 hardware. The NPC's look great with none of them looking similar and all do realistic things such as talk on mobiles eat, and use cash machines. One bad thing about graphics though is the trees. everything looks great excpet the trees they look like rubbish PS1 style graphics. Next time your on the game go up to one and look at one you will see what i mean. The sound on GTA IV again is supurb with the radio stations making a return. There are 14 in this game filled with great and modern tracks, if you listen carefully you can even hear Queen!! The voice acting is brillant and it should be with the amount of dialogue in the game, although one guy (little jacob) i can't actually never understand him. guns and cars sound great just like they should do. sound gets 10/10 as there is nothing wrong with it. The car handling is much more realistic in this game (as are a lot of things) and at first takes some getting used to but when you do its great. the drive by shooting has been imporvbed so instead of shooting directly left or right you can now shoot 360 degrees. You can do various activites such as bowling, pool, and darts which is great to kill some time and fun. GTAIV will last you a heck of a time. The story lasts for ages but if you want to go for 100% well thats even better. there a lot of side missions to do like with previous games Unquie jumps make a return and as for hidden packages there are now 200 pigeons (or 'flying rats') to shoot. Mutiplayer in GTAIV is amazing and can be up to 16 players. the city still looks the same and the gameplay is the same the only thing thats changed it that you in liberty city causing havok with 15 other people. The variety of modes and ranking system make it addictive, you don't have to be blowing the hell out of each other as there are co op style modes as well. To sum up here are the bad points about the game and why it didnt get a perfect 10. The tree graphics just spoils it sometimes. the fact that there are no planes it a letdown. In mutiplayer sometimes there are animation issues. These small things are nothing to the amount of goodness in thsi game but it does stop it from been perfect. Basically though if you do have a next gen console then get this game, you won't be dissappointed trust me...
