Oh god, I have never laughed so hard before...

ME2

I blew through the first one with ease just to see how the decisions made make difference in game play only to find that it's not a huge difference. Which means nothing considering ME3 will lead to more what I myself sought from the game, Although I found the battle mechanics to be top shelf the level 30 cap is not cool for such a game with extreme replay value. If they did allow you to "Max out" your character as they did in the first, I do not believe it would make it any easier considering all the DLCs not to mention Insanity mode being a large portion of achievement in the game, it's good to see actually insane AI's the tactics they use amaze me at times making me want to kick in my TV and say "Who's dead now?" (in a good way). Being able to tolerate replay on a 20-40+ hour game makes this title a great value!

Hum-de-dum, Dragon Age 2, oh boy

>"A stunning experience"
>Dragon Age 2 is not your standard "Hero against the world" or "Hero slays a dragon" story. This is a story about conflict, politics, oppression and personal drama. Unlike most games, it offers no "good" or "evil" way out. That alone is one of its strongest points. I'll list my personal pros and cons first:

+ Breaks out of the stale "Hero defeats an ancient evil" formula.
+ Companions are all well defined, plot heavy and not just people with ten dialogue options
+ The combat system is fast and furious, it feels involved and largely improved
+ No more "You gave me 5 gifts. I wuv you" = "Romance" nonsense. Romances take time, feel real and are part of the drama
+ Side quests and Companion Quests are woven into the main story
+ It no longer takes "approval" to get to know your companions. Friendship and rivalry offer different paths, you are no longer punished for disagreeing with your companions
+ Importing DAO saves add wonderful touches and REAL cameos, unlike the hack job called Awakening
+ Gorgeous graphics
+ I encountered only two quests I could not finish
+ No hours of sludging aimlessly through the Deep Roads or the Fade, killing everything in sight

- Re-used enviroments. While the enviroments they DID create are gorgeous in color and finely drawn, there are too few. Hopefully this will be fixed via a patch.
- Much as I like the companion interaction being spread out, I'd have liked to see more and I'd have liked to customize them fully. But worry not, the modders are already at work

skate:

>Without a doubt this is the most realistic bad-a$$ skating game out there. I could go on and on about how realistic this is in style, sound and intuition, but you'll just have to see it for yourselves. I am 31, and this had me so pumped up I actually busted out my old skateboard I hadn't been on in 4 years and hit the local skatepark, it's that good. If you were like me and were restricted to curb grinding and sluggish rail slides on wooden park benches, but always wanted to do the big boy stuff... buy this game. It will bring back great memories. Absolutely outstanding!

>This game is not was not meant to be a direct sequel to DAO. They tried going down that road with Awakening and we know that was a disaster. It is a bold, new way of picking up a conflict that was already hinted at in the original. Also, it was bound to happen sooner or later. The tragedies unfolding in this game cannot be blamed on an antagonist or an ancient evil but on, pardon the RPG pun, human nature. There were so many moments in this game when I was teary eyed or yelling "No, no, NO!" at my screen. I don't want to spoil anything however. Is it a perfect game? No. Was DAO a perfect game? Hell, no. DAO was horribly bugged, the last third of the game was badly written and rushed and never mind its formulaic nature and cliché ending. I love both games though. DA2 represents change and many do not like change. I happen to love it. I cannot wait for the newest DLCs and expansion and DA3 can't come soon enough either. I know the haters will pounce down on my review. It'll be an honor though, because I don't care what they think.

...da fuck?

I hate amazon reviewers.

Call of Duty Black Ops

>I love this game becuase it not only has black ops but also you get to freakin kill zombies! hours on end of fun! i give this 5 stars!

He is happy cause not only does the game come with the game, but zombies also. What a deal!

MG: sons of liberty

>Pop in "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty," sit back and watch the intro. With intense music composed by "Harry Gregson-Williams [Composer for popular movies Enemy of the State, Armageddon and The Rock]" there is no question to the cinematic feel of this game. The visuals of the game display the PS2's power not to mention the stunning detail of bodily and facial movements of characters and environments with steam, water and we can fire--Ahhh--yes--Explosions GALORE. Once the cinemas finish you become the director of the movie. Are you good enough to give yourself a show? Run, tiptoe past sleeping guards, dodge, hide, swim, crawl, dive, flip, climb, hang on the side of the rail, shimey from side to side, duck, shoot, snipe, spy with microphone, interact with environments, talk with realistic team members, and watch more cinemas. The stuff I just mentioned is only 50% of what happens. Care to find out the other 50%? Go buy it, play it, feel it and watch it.

5 star Madden 2011 review:

"Faulty disc."
I was sold a faulty disc. Very dissapointed. Everytime I start a game it says the disc is "unreadable" and needs to be cleaned. Ive cleaned it everytime it has said that and nothing happens. It happens only during an actualy football game, not in the menu.

MW2

Been playing this game and can't stop- makes it hard to get to work on time :) Totally worth buying for the team matches.

Force unleashed 2

This is a great game.I played Star wars force unleashed 1 on PS2 system it was a geart game.....SO far this one is better and has alot more abilities and action.I am still playing it.I recommend this game to all Star War fans and those who just like action games, this is a must play game. I am playing it on PS3 console.

>Huh?

>I have three kids.... ages 12, 8 and 5 (boy, girl and boy) and they all LOVE this game! They all fight for turns to play on it and continue to play Spore until I pull them off. They love the fact that your character gets to start from the primordial sludge and evolve all the way to a civilization.... what makes it even more fun is that you encounter other microbes and organisms on your adventure, and you may run into previous characters that YOU created when playing before! It is an extremely creative game, letting you create your character and evolve him/her from a single-cell organism to a walking, talking creature with arms, legs, a mouth, etc. of your choosing. We ALL love this game!

>By Carrie V. ""mommy of 3""

>>107977534
...wut...

>>107978036
that was actually a good review. Spore wasn't really meant to be aimed for 18+ year olds and meant to be GRIMDARK DEEP AS FUCK SPEHSS MARINES.

E.T. is a good game, but sometimes it can be a little frustrating. Its good that it has a saving mode. I recommend it.

Vanquish

>Attitude. This game screams ATIITUDE. I'm a college student, so I obviously don't have a lot of money to blow, but I decided to take a plunge and buy this game Day 1. I was not dissapointed. If you're looking for an engaging storyline with deep characters, look elsewhere. All you'll find here is a big ol' can of whoop ass. This is by no means a bad thing, in fact this is a good thing because this game knows it's an action game and it doesn't pretend to be anything else. Imagine, if you will, the best action movie you've ever seen. Now, multiply that by 10. Add a cigarette smoking badass in a battle suit that enhances his every ability. On top of that, add huge mechs who want your blood. Now add Russians to the mix. That's what Vanquish is in a nut shell. I'm positive that many people will give this game a bad review because it isn't an arty game. This game is unashamed to be ridiculous and over the top. In fact, it revels in it. And to be quite honest, once you start the game you can't help but feel like a badass who's shooting everything in sight. Is this game worth 60 bucks? Hell yes. If you have some extra cash in your bank account, buy this game. You will not regret it.


>$60 for 4 hour game with no coop or multiplayer

>>107978036
That's a good review though.
As an anon has already said, it is meant for children.

>Fallout 3
>"This is one of the best games that I've ever played. It's challenging and the graphics are top notch. I would recommend this to anybody anytime anywhere"

These HAVE to be paid reviews, everyone's going on about how fucking amazing the graphics apparently are.

Catherine:

I bought this game cause I wanted something different, and boy did I get it! This is an amazing game. The art is beautiful and so is the title character. The story is very engaging (like nightmare on elm street mixed with I don't know... but it's really awesome) and has different endings. There are choices that you make and the game compares what you chose with the online community. I found the game addictive and I don't even like puzzle type games.


NIIGGA FUCK YOU

New vegas:

>I bought this game for my boyfriend (age 21) for his birthday, and he loved it! Although I was nervous when I read reports about the loading time, I asked him about it now and he just shrugged it off saying that that was just how wide-open adventure games were so that they could have a lot of good content. He has been playing it for weeks now so I'd say it was a successful birthday buy! Great content although there are a lot of loading screens. If they don't mind waiting for a bit, adventure gamers will love it!

TF2

>The game is very well balanced with 9 classes with unique abilities and weaknesses. Valve continues to update and add more maps all the time. The animation and voice over work will have you chuckling as you intensely battle for intelligence and capture points. Be aware that this game is only for online play, and has no single player. So good luck and have fun.

I dont think so.

>>107978670
Your most hated game ever is seriously New Vegas?

>>107979053
yeah its pretty horrible.

WoW: Cataclysm, Titled,"Everything Old is New Again"

>Yes, many of the old zones are redone, changed both physically by the presence of Deathwing and through the updated game design philosophy of Blizzard. Gone are the days of frustrating fetch and kill quests (though they are still present, much less in abundance) and sketchy zone transitions. No more with the harsh, slow trekking that served only as a timesink in the past. Leveling, talent trees, riding skills, character skills, etc have all been streamlined to allow more of what players actually like to do: progress their character in a fun and entertaining way so that by the time they reach max level, they might actually miss the high quality questing they'd been doing.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles The Crystal Bearers Overly Long Name Electric Boogaloo

Actually, there was only one review for this, and it was a 4 star.

the game itself is good, solid storyline, good gameplay, ect, but since it`s a "crystal chronicles" me and my friend were deceived by the lack of multiplayer gameplay. For solo, it`s a 4 stars. for a multi it`s a 1 star out of 5. I'm happy with my purchase though, since it`s a good game.


Good gameplay? WHERE? WE MUST HAVE PLAYED DIFFERENT GAMES

>>107979196
cata isn't that bad

people who say vanilla wow was better are waring some pretty foggy nostalgia goggles

>>107979191
I agree with this guy. New Vegas' beginning was a snorefest, too long did not play. Might have helped if I had played any previous Fallout games

>The METROID franchise was slowly going astray, falling "victim" to innovations that mostly worked yet, at the same time, were turning METROID games into a typical space shooter. Don't get me wrong, I greatly enjoyed the Metroid Trilogy - it just did not give off the sense of a classic METROID game. Well, NINTENDO made sure to take care of that.

>THE OTHER M is an old-school platform shooter, only equipped with the latest innovations that enhance rather than hinder the true character of the game. Samus Aran can now move in 3D (and not only in a sidescrolling manner), yet this is and feels like a classic platform game. There is some puzzle-solving and expect to spend quite some time in the form of a morphing ball, zipping through pipes, bypassing obstacles, unlocking security doors and finding powerups; and the FirstPerson perspective is still available to deliver devastating missile shots (while keeping Samus stationary and vulnerable to enemy attacks, one cannot play the game as an FPS). Nevertheless, this is an pure action-shooter game that is greatly enjoyable.

>Visually this must be the best game I ever played on Wii, with beautiful and distinct environments than never get boring and never interfere with the gameplay. And, following the tradition of the classic Metroid games, the THE OTHER M experience is enhanced by great orchestral music. Nothing epic, but it sure fits the mood of the scene it accompanies.

>THE OTHER M is a tad story-heavier than I would have liked and the cinematic sequences are unskipable(?) whereas, annoyingly, the story at times throws Samus in the midst of her enemies with minimal firepower and often without her Varia suit. Other than those minor complains (and it being a bit short), this is one of the best games I have ever played on a console.
>I dare say, this is a title that is comparable to the monumental Super Metroid.

>>107979394
Gotta agree. Fetch quests everywhere. Even LESS dungeons to farm for gear, the gear just happened to be green and blue, instead of blue and epic. Had to ask people to form a group for anything. Don't remember forming battle ground raids, and accidentally getting two of them? You don't know shit about wow. The one thing it had going for it was the community. It wasn't so bad to get a group for something because there were dozens of like minded people at all times, and they were more tolerant...Used to be common place to wipe several times in a dungeon, but no one left. Oh, and the fact that there were actually people out in that world.
>You'll never bump into potential bros out in the field, doing quests together and chatting it up
Nowadays, doing quests feels more like some post apocalyptic rpg...You can't even get ganked, there's that few people not just sitting in org/sw

Fable 3. Short but sweet.


When I First Started Playing Fable 3 I immediately realized the drastic changes Lion head Studios had made. Better graphics, gameplay, and connection to the story line. overall great game 5 out of 5.
