Uncharted 3- The trailer showed Sullivan and sounds like then game will have more of him so SOLD! Demo happen on a old cruise ship. The water looked great, it had volume and flowed nicely. Cant wait to play the beta later this year.
Sly Cooper: Thieves in time- Never played any Sly but I did pick up Sly cooper 1 and 2 a month ago and have not played them yet.
Resistance 3- looks the same as 1 and 2, I dont care for this game.
God of War: Origins Collection- both PSP games coming to the PS3, 2 less reasons I want a PSP.
NBA 2K12- Like the Heat joke at Kobe and that Kobe sucked at the game when they say wasy to pick up and play
Medieval Moves: -deadmens Quest- looks like the move demo we saw last year was turned in to a game.
Showed a InFamous 2 trailer which is out tomorrow, review coming soon.
PlayStation Vita- $250-300 ok good. games look almost like a PS3 game. Showed off Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Ruin, ModNation Racers and Street Fighter X Tekken which Cole from InFamous 2 will be in the game.
Over all alittle boring, no new big titles, PlayStation Vita was linked a few days ago. Most of the show was move and Vita, two things I dont care for. Also no twisted metal?

Quick thoughts on Ubisoft Press Conference 2011
rayman origins- looks artish like Braid. Guessing its a speed run game, the whole demo was them run fast, Looks fun.
Driver: San Francisco- nothing new that I didnt see or hear from last year
Far cry 3- looks alittle better than 2. I hope the guns for break down, I hated that in 2. Watching the trailer on TV most of it was beeeeeeeep.
Tin Tin game really?
Tom Clancy's Future soldier- 4 player co op, seems more Call of duty than Ghost recon. From twitter: hilarygoldstein - "Ghost Recon makes me want to play Modern Warfare 3, which is saying something." and he is right
Just dance 3 WHY!!!!!!!??????
Rocksmith- help you learn to play the guitar, it will fail other games have tried this and none have been good.
Assassin's Creed: Revelations- cant beleve that its coming out with year, demo looks great fire looks nice. Wonder if that will have multiplayer too, Brotherhood multiplay looked fun but its already dead from what I saw on the 360.
Trackmania 2- wanted to hear about shooter mania and quest mania but nothing.
Raving Rabbids: Alive & Kicking- oh god a kinect game, mini game where you fill in the shape looks like a fun party game... for 5 mins.
Over all I wanted this to end I couldnt stand watching this press conference. I hate Mr. Caffeine, all his jokes got dead silence, please bring back Joel. Only two games I enjoyed watching were Far cry 3 and Assassin's Creed: Revelations. This is worst then Konami press conference, that was taped and I could pass the boring parts.

Quick thoughts on Microsoft Press Conference 2011
Modern warfare 3- Looks great, I am guessing that the 1st level was shown, in it get to swim, drive a boat, blow off a tail of a sub then enter the sub. All this happen to a city that under attack, no signs or any idea what city it was. No Price in the demo, hope he is in the game.
Tomb Raider- revamp game? play as a 21 year old Lara Croft. Demo shown had Lara in a tied up in a cave and needed to escape. Music sounded great and went well with the game. Like the camera look, it had parts in 3rd person view and place cam views like in god of war. This look like the best Tomb Raider game i seen.
Mass effect 3- will use Kinect, looks the same as 2. Didn't show much
Tom Clancy's Future soldier- will use Kinect as well, showed off gun customs very detailed and many options. Showed off play with Kinect and it looked dumb, holding out his fist like he was going to fist and opening is hands to shoot. trailer looked boring with the whole Matrixs frozen time this.
Showed off new dash board- I dont like it, just looks like they want to show you what you can waste your points on. Youtube on xbox? I will use that like i do with facebook and twitter and thats never. Xbox is so much full of shit it needs Bing to help you find it, Bing is being added to live. Live TV coming to xbox, didnt say much about it. No price given. If its cheaper then the sitalite I'd which. Smart way to sell more 360s to people who already have 1.
Gears of war 3- Gears added mechs to the game. Ice T making a song for horde mode. Looks a touch better than 2.
Ryse- 1st person fighting game in Romen times using Kinect, this is what the hardcore gamers need.
Halo 1 being remade for 360, will have online co op and multiplayer. Hope they are not asking for full price.
Forza 4- I think they should slow down on making these alittle. uses kinect, didnt show much of it.
Fable the journey or the on rail shooter, mah. uses Kinect, on rails and you shoot magic zzz. Wonder how broken with game will be like Fable 3 was.
Minecraft coming to the 360 woo? online?
Disney mini game collection with a virtual disneyland in it. Sorry kids we cant go to real Disneyland so here play this. The first 2 kid actors were good and the next 2 one I think was saying the others lines.
Kinect star wars more then lightsaber, has driving in it too. Looks great aother game thats needed for hardcore gamers
Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster - kinect game getting bored with all the kinect games now next. The kid who was saying the other kids lines returns and reads the lines for dad now.
Kinect labs- FUCK, get to play with tools out now
Kinect sports 2- wii sports > this
Dance central 2- now 2 people can dance at once. online?
Halo 4 the fight continues starts where Halo 3 left off
Over all a lot of kinect like last year but most of the games and normal games with kinect suport. No price drop, cheap ass gamer kept guessing at a $50 drop due to $50 gift cards system packs always on sale. Would of like to have a drop on the price of Kinect. do I want a kinect now, alittle before it was a no.
Tomb Raider- revamp game? play as a 21 year old Lara Croft. Demo shown had Lara in a tied up in a cave and needed to escape. Music sounded great and went well with the game.

Quick thoughts on EA Press Conference 2011
Mass effect 3- melee attack added to the game, grenades are back from one I will hate that it may have less RPG is it but if the story and action is good I will look passed it.
Need for speed: the run- not just racing cars also be on foot. looks like Need for speed meets mirrors edge. looks greats like the last need for speed game.
SSX- never played a snowboarding game, may rent it when it comes out. uses satellite pic to form the maps, cool.
FIFA12- boring break time
Star Wars: The Old Republic- Trailer and no game play again come on two years now with no game play.
Madden 12- at the start of the press conference it was said that they didnt need celebs for the press conference but three football players, that count as celeb?
Sims social- Sims facebook game that people will spam invite to me and make me hate facebook even more.
Overstrike- class base shooter, looks nice, trailer is funny hope the game is too.
Battlefield 3- Beta finally happening in September. Frostbite 2 was shown, the engine for the game. levels are more bigger due to it. Looks and sounds so real. Cant wait to play the beta.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning- Looks like Dragon age but you get to fight not just press a button and wait while the game fights for you. Even though a pitcher of the Red Sox Curt Schilling is the owner of the Studio I still want to get this game.
Over all quite a few jokes about paid membership and what other press conferences do. Wish to see more Over strike 9, want to see some game play of The Old Republic and learn more about the on foot parts on the new Need for speed game.

My thoughts and prediction on Playstation network
I decided to throw my two cents in about the Playstation network being hacked. First of all, I am one of the 75 million that were hacked, after hearing this yesterday I change the email and passwords to most of the other accounts I made using the email I used for PSN. Early this year GeoHot Hotz hacked the PS3, early this month Anonymous hacked PSN and last week was hacked again. I would like to know did Playstation after being hacked for the first time change anything to make sure it wont happen again? Did they find out how GeoHot Hotz did it and made it so it wont happen again? My guesses are that they didn't, after something like that would happen I would be hiring ether him or other hackers to help improve PSN so it couldn't be hacked. Now I don't know if anyone in the real world has ever done that before, that would never work in real life or I'm watch to much TV. Last night when the story broke I was watching a live stream of Lordkat. He was explaining how the information for credit cards and personal information were stored, both need to be stored separate and credit card information on the hard drives are stored like money in a vault. So if the hacker/s have the credit card information Playstation didn't find him and stop him fast or the information was not locked up tight. Lordkat did said on Saturday that PSN is down due to hackers and that they must have done something bad for it to still be down. Now for what I think will happen to Playstation after this. It is now 8am, when the NY stock exchange opens today Sony stock with fall and will close at a price around $13. Yesterday it closed at $29.70. PSN store will lose a huge (50% to 60% guess) of sells for full games add ons and everything. Yes you can buy pre-paid cards and the sell of those will go up a little but some like myself wont fell safe with Playstation ever again. Trade in and used sell of PS3 will go up a bit, out of the 75 million there will be a few that will sell/trade their PS3 in for a 360. Sells of 360 will go up and sells of PS3 will go down. I am also guessing that we wont see many or no PSN only games, companies wouldn't want to make a game on a console where most of the users don't feel safe on buying it with out a pre-paid card r not at all. During the E3 sony press conference for this year I wont be surprised if a few or most of the people boo Sony and I feel that they may not even show up at TGS or E3 next year if things don't get better. If they had plans for a new PSP or tablet they should just can it. Would you buy any system or tablet from a company that was hacked three time in a few months and one of the hackers has info on all its users? My guess is that Sony wont recover from this and will leave the gaming business.

Games I beat Q1 of 2011
Math Blaster: Episode 1 - In Search of Spot
A fun educational game, got alittle lost where you flying with a jetpack on what to do.
Castlevania
This game is hard until you use the holy water, it is so over powered. Holy water pwns all
Dragon Age: Origins
This game needs a arrow, most of the time in the game I was lost. I did enjoy it and want to play it again as a different class. Still need to play some of the DLC.
The Simpsons Arcade
Game I think I may beaten this in the arcades. Its a fun game and if it came out on the xbla I would get it.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
This game is so much fun but also hard at times. Love all the new things they added like yoshi. I do wish there was more voice acting in the game.
Mega Man X
I had with as a kid but never beat it, never wrote down the passwords. This game feels very easy, I did get most of the power ups.(no Hadouken)
Mega Man
I dont think I played this as a kid. The robot masters are not hard but Dr. Willie my god. The first boss you fight the one eye that break in to pieces and goes side to side, I hate that boss, in the anniversary collection you cant do the pause glitch so I did it on rom. At first I thought I couldnt do it on the rom too but found out that I have to hit select button not the start which I was hitting. Derp
3D dot game hero
I would say I enjoy this more than Link to the past but then I enter the flame temple. In the flame temple if you die you have to do almost every thing you just did again due to the walls raising up, because of this I dead... a lot. This temple took me two days to complete. It feel just like Link to the past but the game tells and shows you where to go so you will never get lost.
Dead to Rights: Retribution
This feels like a cookie cutter game, mostly everything feels like it's from a other great game. The only thing that feel different is when your playing as a dog, and it is boring. All you do is run at someone hit the attack button and the dog kills him. The story feels like I heard this over and over again from other games and movies. The game feels like Max Payne also looks like a last gen game with touched up graphs. The game only 6-7 hours long and I dont see why anyone would have paid the full $60 for it, there is no multiplayer just single player.
Super Mario Bros.
I may have beaten this as a kid but I dont remember ever beaten this game.
Dark Cloud 2
http://www.giantbomb.com/dark-cloud-2/61-10007/user-reviews/?review_id=18830
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
I got half way through the last level, restarted with cheat and beat it. How can anyone beat this without cheating? The last level has non stop barrels and bomber guys, it is insane.
Super Mario Bros. 3
I know that I never beat this game as a kid. I would always get the the 8th world and give up after a few deaths.
Killzone 2
I found this game so boring, with one i found it boring at first then enjoyed it at the end. With this one I didnt like it. What I hate about this game the most is cant use L2 to aim, I'm use to using the left trigger to aim. Most of the time I go to aim I would melee. I just found shooting hard in this game, at the end of the game I was just running at everyone and knifing them. Im passing on killzone 3.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Never knew of a power rangers game until a year ago where I saw a video about it. Everything is great but Zack in the game I mean wtf?
Rygar: The Legendary Adventure
Rented this after watching someone play the NES Rygar and they said that there was a PS2 version. It like a god of war game years before god of war came out. The camera sucks at times and there are not that many types of enemies. Got lost a few times but after looking at a walk through alway felt dumb that I didnt see the way to go. The story is weird,
Milon's Secret Castle
This is one of those game I played as a kid and liked it, now I dont like it but I dont hate it as well. I cant believe how far I got in this game when I was a kid. On 1 life due to the fact I didnt know how to countiue got to the 3rd level of the castle, almost beaten the game. Plus I did this with out any help like Nintendo power.
Where's Waldo?
Who thought to make a video game about the where's Waldo books? Played it on easy and beat it in 30 mins only hard part to the game is the slot machine where you need to get 3 Waldo heads to launch a rocketship to the moon.
Barbie
I played and beat this all beacause Craig ( http://twitter.com/TheHeroOfGaming ) said he beat this game. yeah that is why I beat it. The jumping in the game sucks and that is all that sucks with the game. You play as Barbie in her dreams, you use bows and gems to solve puzzles to go foward in the level.
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
I was going for 100k gamerscore and this game is easy points. Game is boring, Ben Stiller didn't do voice work for the game but why cant the person look like him more, I don't know why but to me that didn't look like Ben Stiller.
Singularity
This is a ok game, besides getting lost a few times there are no problems with this game. The story is ok but lost my interst after some time. The multiplayer is fun but dead, takes 8 people to start a game and no one ever on. After playing this makes me want to try time shift.
Mass Effect 2
My new pick for best game in 2010. It feels less RPGish that one and one is the game that got me in to RPGs. Even though it took me 60+ hours I feel that I still missed some things and want to play through it again. One part of the game where you meet up with Ashley kinda bugs me, SPOILERS! when the mission starts you see Ashley and people running from the hive. Ashley gets caught by the hive and shes a goner right? well at the end of the mission Ashley shows up fine and we get no explanation on how she is fine or what happened.
Sesame Street: Countdown
I was bored and half a sleep when I wonder how clear was the voice in this game was. That night I was watching Angry video game nerd videos. I cant believe how crasp and clear the voice is in it.You play as the count finding number or objects of the number you are searching for in 8, 8 level ah ah ah.
Mario is Missing!
Luigi has not had any good games with just him in it and this started it. I do remember renting this as a kid and not knowing that its a edution game.
Tiny Toon Adventures
This game is great but switch to a other person like dizzy is hard you need to find this ball with a star on it. It plays mostly like SMB 3. Out of the other Tiny toon games I seen and played this one the best.
Sonic Blast
Sonic on the Game gear doesnt work sonic is slow on them. With this sonic game sonic take up half the screen and its hard to see whats coming up. This game does have good graphs and a good legth.
Bible Buffet
Board game with no real bible game feel to it. You can play alone but its boring to do so, it would have been nice if there was a AI player.
Anticipation
Boring board game cant remember that much about it.
A fun educational game, got alittle lost where you flying with a jetpack on what to do.

Best RPG I have played on the PS2
Disclamer I dont remember the begain of the game very well, it was 7 months ago when I started this game. Sorry if I am wrong with anything, let me know and I will change it.
Almost two years after the first Dark Cloud Level 5 releast Dark cloud 2. When I found this out after playing through the first game I had my douts that they improved the game in any way, boy was I wrong. They have fixed every that (I can think of) was problem of Dark cloud, fix and inproved it in two. One of the big problems in the first game was weapons breaking and losing them, weapons still break but you do not lose them when you do. So that weapon that you been using for the whole game if it broke in one it was gone forever and you would break the game in half but in two after a weapon break at stay. You dont lose it, you dont even lose any stats or EXP that the weapon has. Now I know what your saying "well if your weapon is about to break fix it" well to do that you need repair powder. In one you need to hopefully find everything you need, food, other weapons, and repair powder. If you could not find any repair powder before your weapon broke your screwed. In 2 you can buy repair powder in shops, you can buy almost everything in a shop and money is not hard to come by. One other problem they fix was in the game you have to rebuild the towns, in one everything had to be a the right place. I found myself looking at walkthoughs that the maps people made to get through these parts. In two for most of the game you can place anything anywhere in the town and it will counts, I say most times because there are a few spots where a house need this near it and one part of the game has you build a place with everything in the right place but they give you photos of what it should look like making it easy. Now that I talk about what they fixed let get to the rest.
Story
You play as Max (Maximillian) a kid that lives with his father and your mother left some time ago. The town is under lockdown and has been since Max's mom has left due to the dangers of the outside world. One day some men are looking for the gem that Max wears around his neck. He runs off to the sewers, the town is opened and Max leave is search of his mother. Soon after you meet Monica who is from the future and need to fix the past to save her future. That is the mean story. With each new chapter you do to a new town to restore and a new short story starts. The short stories give a reason besides saving the future to restore the town. For exmaple a little kid is sick and no medison from curent time can help him but there something in the future that can. So basicly it a problem and the only way to solve it is to rebuild the town and go in to the future.
Game play
Game play is very much the same from 1. Max has a robot his can ride on (Ridepod) called Steve. The robot can be upgraded with different weapons, body and feet. Monica can tranform in to monsters, I didnt use this at all and only tranform in to a plant monster but I believe she can tranform in to others. With rebuilding towns there is a list of what the town needs. Finding people and getting them to live in the restored town I found it hard and a headache.
Graphs & sound
The game looks more coloriful and briter than 1. Few of the monsters that were in 1 look the same and the new monsters looks great and detailed. I'm glad that voice acting has been added to this game. One didnt have much talking in it and was all text to tell the story. The voice acting is great and matches every person. Max and Monica sound like real kids not adults trying to sound like kids. Also the translation is good, I didnt see any Engrish in the game.
Overall
This is a great RPG and I wish that the Dark cloud franchise comes back. I want to try Rogue Galaxy and White Knight Chronicles, both from Level 5. If you love RPG or just getting in to them Dark cloud 2 is a great game to pick up. The game is easy for new comers to RPG's, there may be a few spots where you may get lost but the internet can help you with that.
Almost two years after the first Dark Cloud Level 5 releast Dark cloud 2. When I found this out after playing through the first game I had my douts that they improved the game in any way, boy was I wrong. They have fixed every that (I can think of) was problem of Dark cloud, fix and inproved it in two. One of the big problems in the first game was weapons breaking and losing them, weapons still break but you do not lose them when you do. So that weapon that you been using for the whole game if it broke in one it was gone forever and you would break the game in half but in two after a weapon break at stay. You dont lose it, you dont even lose any stats or EXP that the weapon has. Now I know what your saying "well if your weapon is about to break fix it" well to do that you need repair powder. In one you need to hopefully find everything you need, food, other weapons, and repair powder. If you could not find any repair powder before your weapon broke your screwed. In 2 you can buy repair powder in shops, you can buy almost everything in a shop and money is not hard to come by. One other problem they fix was in the game you have to rebuild the towns, in one everything had to be a the right place. I found myself looking at walkthoughs that the maps people made to get through these parts. In two for most of the game you can place anything anywhere in the town and it will counts, I say most times because there are a few spots where a house need this near it and one part of the game has you build a place with everything in the right place but they give you photos of what it should look like making it easy. Now that I talk about what they fixed let get to the rest.

Games I beat in 2010: 2009 or older
Before I get to those games I beat that didnt come out 2010 I forgot about one.
BioShock 2
I forgot this came out 2010. The story is ok but weird at the end. Multiplayer is good but laggy for me.
Now here are the games I beat in 2010 that didnt come out last year.
Condemned 2: Bloodshot
People say this is better than 1 but I didnt enjoy it. Most of the time I was lost and confused with the story. Will play though the game again hope that helps.
Real Heroes: Firefighter
This game surprised me its not that bad. The game also surprised me by having a boss at the end of the game. Graphs are ok but the fire looks bland, you can see it in squared off. There is no story your just a rookie, there is some small chat during missions and going to the fire.
Fable
I played mostly the mean missions and beating it in less then 10 hours. I enjoyed the story and the game looks great.
Shadow Complex
Great game, love everything about it. Only hate that my game glitched I think, I cant find the last key card or what ever to unlock the boots.
Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle
Rock, paper, scissor the game. If this is the bad Alex the kid game then why is it on the sega collection? It is not very good, hated that there is a boos you have to beat him at rock, paper, scissor. Really?
Final Fantasy X
I started playing this almost 3 years ago and was playing off and on. I would get stuck at a boss and stop playing for a few months. I did enjoy the story, only hate Waka.
Rogue Warrior
Rock and roll mother fucker rock and roll. This game is the worst, the game trys to make this guy look all rogue and tough but it makes him annoying.
Borderlands
My choose for 2010 2009 game of the year. After I beat it the first time I thought I was going to put it on the shelf for a month or two and come back to it but few days later I was playing it again. Dr. Ned zobie island and secret armory are great DLC add ons but Underdome is long and usless really and claptrap's new robot revolution just has too much collecting in it and all the items to collect and random. I was hoping to face the boss at the end of the game again in that DLC, you see and cut out of it and that just let my hope up.
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Never seen the movie and after playing this I dont want to. The graphs are ok but the sound with the mean guy voice would not shut up.
Prototype
Not as good as inFamous, the story was mahh. It is more fun running around in that world then inFamous because of what you can do.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
I love Victor Sullivan. He has that Bruce Campbell fell to him which I love. I love the story and would go to see this if it was a movie.
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
They nailed the game play but the story and voice acting is the worst. Dont kid down the games please.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
I loved everything, the story was great starting with present time then flashing back. The game has less Sullivan and I hope three has way more of him.
Braid
Found this game boring and after 10 mins looked up a video guide just so I could beat it
Assassin's Creed II
I wish I got to finish this the time it came out and my game save and 360 didnt get messed up. They improved everything that was wrong with one, I am so happy that you can swim in the game now and alot less collecting.
Little Red Hood
I was very bored when I played this. What the angry video game nerd says is true the game is so random.
Demon's Souls
What makes this game hard is not the AI enemies but the people who invade. The last level I could not make it up the last stairs so I join others so I can be alive again and have people to join my game so they can pass and kill the dragon so I can get up the stairs. Every minute I or the person I joined would get invade. If you play this play it offline, unhook the internet to the PS3.
Devil May Cry 2
I thought this game was not that bad then I played disk two. Its all the same your just playing the game as Lucia thats all. Disk two is a waste of time
Fable II
Feels like a remake of the 1st game. Online co op sucks your stuck in a the same screen like in a local co op game. I still had fun playing this.
Max Payne
I found the game hard at first due to the fact that its been some time since I played a shooter on the PS2. The story is great and I like the way they do cut scenes. The graphs could have been better for the people, everyone looks blocky.
Comix Zone
This game is hard, I cant even beat the 1st level. I use a cheat to beat this game just like everyone else has and if you beat it without cheats you are a video game god.
The Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout
This game is way to easy, its so easy to beat bosses, earn extra lifes and the level are some what easy. There are a few where you will die a few times but by then you will have lifes to spare.
Altered Beast
The sega version is hard few lifes, at best I would make it to the 2nd level. I beat the arcade version on the Sega collection for the 360, unlimited continues.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2
I didnt care for the story, didnt care for the story in one as well. I like the online co op thats in the game.
Far Cry 2
All the missions in the game start to feel the same and the game is a bit to big takes to long to get from one point the the other just by driving. I hate that you need to get and take pills, at the start of the game if you dont go get the pills you can rome around for hours and you wont need any pills. Also hate the weapons breaking over time. Multiplayer is fun but takes way to long to level up and up lock new weapons.
Dead Space
I really liked this game, even that I saw most of this on a stream the game still scared me. I did find the game easy but the parts where you have to shoot meters I hate that part so much. I dont like the controlls, I am always missing them and I hate that if they go off screen they still hit you. I hope two doesnt have that part, cant wait to play that.
Kingdom Hearts
I kinda wished I played this when I was younger, I would have enjoyed it more. I need to get my hands on KH2 now.
Here is a list of games I started but didnt finish in 2010
Dark Could 2- got to a point in the game where I dont know what to do, the game doesnt give me any clues of what to do and even two guides I looked up say two diffirent things to do and both didnt work.
Final Fantasy X-2 - Opening my god
Fallout: New Vegas- taking my time with it, started after getting guide book and waiting for all the DLC to come out before finishing it.
Metal Gear Solid- I am at Metal Gear, I'm finding it hard to beat it
Ninja Gaiden 2 (360)- at the last boss and damn hard.
There are more but with them I just really didnt like them or just forgot about them.

Games I beat in 2010: 2010 games
Halo: Reach
Story was ok but but you dont get a to know anyone in the game. Multi is the same still get my ass handed to me. Fire fight matchmaking is great but with they had a made with a death limit like in ODST.
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
The story was good but not great. There was very little to do and only a few of the side missions were fun to play. I miss the open world from 1.
Just Cause 2
Besides the story is dumb and boring and the voice acting bad yet funny for a few Just Cause 2 is a fun game. It feels like what Mercenaries 2 should have been with a grapple hook. Feels great to be able to hook on to anything and use the grapple hook on enemies. I wish I could have more cars, boats, planes and choopers to buy from the black market.
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Story was great love the twist ending. Multiplayer i hate I have to unlock it then I have to buy it, just give me my stuff when I unlock it. I know Halo Reach does this but its all arror that just for look not guns and perks you need to get kills. Zombie mode (the reason I rented this) is ok but makes me want to play left 4 dead instead.
Donkey Kong Country Returns
This game is hard, feels like the first Donkey Kong Country game. Controlls were great but shaking the wii mote some times didnt work well. I tryed not to use the super guide alot but I did a few times I dont like that you can let the super guide beat bosses for you even the final boss.
X-Men
I never saw this in the arcades around here. It was fun playing but there is no challenge to the game because there is unless continues. I would have added this to best of 2010 but its not new.
Dead Rising 2
Story was touching gave me a reason to make it to the end. Hope co op got fix, suck getting kicked every time the host saved the game. Terror Is Reality is useless, you dont need money for anything unless you want the cars. It was dead the week it came out, had a hard time finding a game.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The story was great but it was missing the funny small talk between Terrence and George. I know if you wait at points you will hear it but I guess I was waiting at the wrong points because I didn't get any. Multiplayer is better now that I dont have to worry about shooting a teammate killing them and dont have to worry about dicks joining my team and team killing everyone. Its my game of the year.
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero
It does feel like a demo but I enjoyed it. There is very little back story, you just find out who bit Katey.
Crackdown 2
This is one of the three sequels that were a let down. I was hoping that they learn that a game needs a story or then kill these people game over. The game is too easy, there are only a few enemies at the points you need to actavate. A small group of cops could have done this but no they waste money and send you. They did fix the problem of finding orbs where we had to find about 800 of them but what they do next? THEY ADD MORE! WHY? It is fun running around the city when your all leveled up. when crackdown 3 comes out and I pick it up and play it I'm going to hate my self.
Lost Planet 2
This game was also I let down. Story is crap having 4 stories about 4 group of people meeting at the end sucked. Playing co op is fun but it sucks if you are playing on hard and someone sucks at the game. Multiplayer I dont know when the game came out I was ending up 3rd or 4th in kills and points 2 weeks later I cant kill anyone, I dont know why.
Fable III
Flat out the worst game of the year. The story is shit, the main plot is told to us late in the game and rushed. The game is very glitchy, frame rate will drop down to where the game is in slow mo for no reason, the golden path disappears randomly and many others. I had to restart the game after 10 hours due to a mission glitching and would not end. Due to the auto save switch cant be turned off I had to restart. after catching back up to where I was in the game I wanted to make a copy of the save so that if it happen again I could use that save but it would not let me. The only good thing in the game is there is more freedom in co op then in Fable 2.
