A Great Sequel to the Series


This new chapter in the series takes a whole new turn as you play Dante and Nero along with all new characters that will prove to be fun battling. As you progress through the storyline you learn that Nero contains demonic power where his arm also know as devil bringer has the ability to grab enemies from a distance and crush them to the ground with a devastating blow. You get to use a revolver also known as the Blue Rose and a sword mainly named Red Queen which was customized by Nero himself. Nero sets out to save the one he loves called Kyrie who was taken by demons in order to lure him in and to use them to their advantage if they are ever to gain absolute power and to rule the world.

The graphics in this game are greatly improved with stunning visuals and the uniqueness that will want to bring the gamers to play this game over and over again. In this game you get a new array of moves and abilities that will allow you to fight enemies with mindblowing style. You also get new weapons throughout that will prove to be very useful as you unlock higher levels for that specific weapon. Later in the game you play as Dante with four fighting styles similiar to that in Devil May Cry 3 which are royal guard, sword master, gunslinger , and trickster. Each one with its own advantage when fighting the enemy.

This game has also many puzzles that might take time considering if you know where to go. The down side to this though is that the ending will disappoint you and there aren't really that many weapons when playing as Nero. As for Dante thought that's another story as depending what character you play really differs. This fourth istallment will however surprise gamers at the fact that it's actually easier than part three which will prove to be most satisying. Once you finish the game there are bonus content and new difficulties that can be unlocked depending on what mode you're on.

DMC4 also has online capabilities but it's the kind that you would expect. There's no online gaming but rather more of a point sytem to see what rank you are in the game that will push you to try harder and to do your best if you ever want to get more points. The storyline is pretty short and should not take more than a minimum of eight hours to finish unless you like to take your time looking for red orbs that can be used to purchase items. It's a great game but not better than it's predecessor because of its repetetiveness and the fact that it lacks what it has to feature which makes DMC3 more outstanding than this. If you're thinking about this game I suggest that you rent it first to see if it really meets up to your expectations. Overall, it's great and fun to play.

Not very immersive but just enough to keep you playing.


One of the first games to come out for the ps3 truly shows what it's capabilities with it's graphics and physics. Motorstorm includes vehicles of all types that ranges from atvs to mud pluggers and includes various amounts of vehicles to unlock along with new tickets that gain you access to new races. Game gets a little repetetive when you find yourself playing the same tracks over and over again but are rewarding in the end. The terrain is a little tricky to maneuver through but it all depends on the vehicle you're driving. Each vehicle can go through certain parts of the map with ease while others can't giving you an advantage in specific areas. The vehicles are equiped with boosts which are very satisfying when you need it most, the only consequence is that if you overheat it by using it over an extended period of time then you result in your vehicle getting blown up. Each vehicle also has different customizations and it's driver but it's pretty much limited to that point. The game has an interesting soundtrack to offer like Woman from Wolfmother and many more. It includes online capabilities so you can play with your friends and other people. If you're looking for an excuse to get a racing game then this would be a chance to get Motorstorm.

One of the 1st FPS that defines next-gen consoles capabilities.


One of the best FPS I've played in years. It has a great storyline with great graphics that are a sight to see. The storyline may be short but has more to offer online with it's customizable weapons and perks. The storyline consists of playing a variety of  mission that leave you on the edge of your seat along with breath-taking cutscenes. Once you finish the game you can go back and play it again and look for intel that enable you to unlock cheats such as infinite ammo depending on how many you find. There's also different difficulty settings to set your need of having a challenging campaign. Online play works with a ranking system that as you go online you unlock new features that make you playing this game a little easier. The perks in this game are really helpful which includes from shooting through walls to martyrdom which allows you to drop a grenade when you die allowing you to get some kills just before you spawn.

The weapons also have customizable colors such as digital camoflauge(black white) and red tiger (red and black) . There are many challenges to keep you occupied throughout your day and has a variety of maps to paly over and over again. Once you reach to general you're given an option to do prestige mode which basically means you lose everything, the only difference is your rank but you can always get your weapons back by leveling up all over again. You can do this ten times which can be an annoyance but it gives you to do something on your spare time and a sense of an accomplishment. I suggest you get this game if your a fan of shooting games or plainly the series itself. If you're not big on FPS I suggest youtryit anyways as you get more than what your paying for and you won't regret it.

A game that defines next-gen gaming.


Great game that goes far beyond my expectation of naughty dog graphics. It revolutionizes what the ps3 is capable of doing. Uncharted has that feel of tomb raider but better. Having a variety of weapons and impressing combos that makes you want to play the game again once your done. The gameplay can be a little hard since shooting them in the body more than ten times with a pistol doesn't necessarily kill them . What's great about the game is the graphics and storyline. It's about finding Drakes treasure but along the way you face a rival who's also in the pursuit of Drakes fortune. As you progress through the storyline you find more clues about Drakes past and the mysteries behind the island. A little difficult but can be finished in the mattter of about eight hours. Once your done with the game there are cheats that can be unlocked by finding treaures out in the jungle. The cheats allow you unlimited ammo, slow motion,etc. Sadly, there's no online capability but it is a great game. You could propably play the game over and over again and not get tired of playing it. If you're going to get this game I suggest you do.

You're Altair, and you have only one goal; assassinate.


Assassins Creed takes place in four different cities including Jerusalem where you're an assassin named Altiar who's on a mission to kill those appointed by your leader. In this game your able to do parkour which is a sport kinda like freerunning. You're given a variety of weapons such as a sword to a hidden blade that enables you to stealth assassinate people without getting caught. What stands out in this game is that everything can be reacted to and at the same time still able to make the surrounding area unbelieveably real. Throughout the story you unlock new weapons and moves that can be really helpful throughout the game. As you progress through the storyline you begin to question of what you are doing and the reasoning for it only to find out what is really happening. The time of the place actually takes in the future where you're abducted and given orders to do a series of missions in order to unlock a memory that your abductors want, but in order to do this you have to relive the events of your ancestors memory in order to unlock this memory block. There isn't much to unlock when you go scouting for flags around the city once you finish the game but you can replay the missions. There are downsides to it including some graphical glitches that can be fixed with an upgrade. It may be a great game but there's no online play and tends to get a but repetetive. Overall, its a buyer if you're into those games that has that splinter cell feeling in my opinion.

One of the best games out there for real time strategy.


If you're into setting off nukes and calling in airstrikes and pretty much everything at your disposal then this is the game for you. The game has much to offer with campaign as you take on the role of different people that live out the dreaded war if the Cold War never ended. Although the ending may leave you with many pondering questions, overall it's still a great game. You get to take part on four different roles which include infantry,armor,support,and air. Each category has its own unique advantages and disadvantages which plainly works out like rock-paper-scissors. As you earn more points you get to call in aerial airstrikes and work your way up to stronger attacks that includes a heavy artillery barrage and eventually a carpet bomb.

This game has much to offer online with it's ranking system and many more. As you progress more into online gaming you gain badges and points that are added to your rank. You get to play 3 nations that include U.S.S.R,U.S,and NATO. Some more capabilities that the game has to offer is that you get to have your avatar on your own untis which can be pretty interesting if you're the type of person that wants to be noticed. The game is very addicting and fun to play but can be a turn off with its repeated voice overs and commands which tend to be an annoyance. It includes many maps that can be used to your own advantage to take on the enemy if you want to deal with them directly.

World in Conflict has spectacular graphics and physics depending on what graphics card you have. What works best is DX9 but it isn't needed just to play the game unless you're really into feeling the full experience. I highly recommend that you get this game as it is really addicting and fun to play. If you're into real time strategy pc games then it's a must buy who are thinking about getting it.

Another sequal to the great series of Hitman as he attempts to go


In this sequel of Hitman you play as Agent 47 that is sent off to do a variety missions each containing its own unique way of completing them. As you continue more along with the storyline you get a better understanding of how Agent 47 became a legend over the years as he continued along with his assasssinations. The game features a variety of weapons that are fully customizable to your liking from a silenced shotgun to a pistol with an equiped scope. How you complete the mission is entirely up to you and how you execute it as you attempt on finishing off an objective. In Hitman Blood Money there are new ways to conceal what you have left behind such as dumping the body into somewhere secluded to actually hiding a weapon behind your back. Each mission take place at different events and places such as Mardi Gra to the White House which is considerably fun infiltrating.

At the end of each mission, how much money you get depends on how well you complete the mission without leaving any casualties. The more money you have the better it is since you can purchase different specific mods for each weapon in your arsenal. The downsides to this game though is that once you finish it, there's nothing that will motivate you to play this game again unless you were to try harder difficulties. The storyline isn't at all that long and should only take a few hours to complete it, but overall it's still great. The game has much to offer in this installment as you go once again as Agent 47 .

A great sequel that comes with great new features that will leave


In this sequel of God War 2 you once again take role as Kratos. Your main weapon is the blades of chaos that can be leveled up to have some devastating combos. Taking place in mythological time, Kratos powers are taken away because the gods have grown afraid of how strong he has become. In this sequel you try to take revenge and try to gain back the powers in order to be the God of War once again. By doing this you travel back in time using your pegasus in order to prevent this event from happening. As you progress more into the storyline you gain new weapons and powers that will quite prove to be very useful throughout the game. As you level up these weapoons become stronger in both combos and attacks.

As you continue along on the journey you meet some new characters that can prove to be somewhat difficult depending on the strategy of your gameplay. Unlike the first game, you're now on the side of Titans and learn how they came to be.The game also has new difficulty modes to unlock that will be useful to get bonus content throughout. Kratos also has a new power which is similiar to that in part one where it allows him to become in a state of being a god, only in this though its different in a way that allows you to do more combos with ease and some awe inspiring moves. Once you finish the game the bonus content includes some unlockable costumes that allow you infinite magic, stronger attacks, etc. and will want you to play it over and over again. This sequel proves to be one of the best game out there that you should definately have in your library for the ps2.

Burnout Paradise Review


In Burnout Paradise you're a lone driver whose goal is to become the best in Paradise City and to use every twist and turn to take you one step closer to reaching the finish line. In this newest installment of Burnout things take a whole new turn as you get to unlock events and a whole variety of different vehicles. Burnout has continued to live up to its name with full-fledged crashes that will leave you on the edge of your seat. In this sequel you begin with a driver license that you must level up in order to gain access to cars and events. What's great about this game is that there are no loading features at all which has truly given next-gen racing a new meaning.

The up side to this is that the soundtrack is really motivating and great to listen to for those who like alternative and punk music like Avril Lavigne and Sugarcult. An addition are the cars that you can unlock that you'll be spending hours to do to so to show them off to other online players. The down side to it though is that there aren't really anything to unlock once you get all the cars and happens to be missing some add-on's from its previous games. Another thing that might make gamers pretty annoyed are the voice overs that the DJ makes during your cruise among the streets of Paradise City. It may be a big city to explore and might be a thrill at times but it doesn'treally have a variety of events to go by.

There are only about five different types of events which can make the game seem pretty repetetive at times but still has its great moments. It can be pretty frusturating though to find that you would once again have to do the same race over and over again whenever you proceed to the next rank. The only difference would be the difficulty and the distance to get to the finish line. You'd expect more from the design of each car but continues to have the same old type of color and Vinyls.

It may not have much to do on single player but could prove to be really fun when you go head-to-head among other players online. There are different array of unlockable features that can be unlocked only by having a certain amount of racers attending that event which can be difficult at times. In this fast pace game you can expect not much but just enough to keep you playing for months online.
