Join The Faction! Save Mars!

Congratulations to Volition for taking a first person shooter from the PS2 era and going with a third person action game perspective. Not only is this one of the best transitions between genres, it brings a whole new meaning the destructive environments. When you look at Red Faction: Guerrilla for the first time, it might not seem any different from your generic third person shooters out there..and you would be right but only to a certain point. There is depth to this game that does make it stand out from the crowd. One thing you will notice right away is the ability to destroy anything and everything that you come across. If there is a wall in your way, just bust it down with your sledgehammer, EDF (Earth Defense Force) barracks ruining your day? Just set some charges to it and watch it crumble while you giggle like a little school girl.

The story is one of slavery, rebellions, saving miners from the EDF, and taking back Mars. You are Alec Mason who is basically tricked by his brother to come help fight for the rebellion on Mars. What ensues is total chaos across all of Mars. If you have played any of the Grand Theft Autos you will know what to expect when it comes to the game play. It is an open world game so you can go anywhere and do anything. The world is broken down into zones which have their own missions, side missions, EDF control, and miner morale. Your job is to liberate each zone from the EDF and gain miner support. Some of the side missions do tend to get repetitive but they at least help weaken the EDF in the area. The main story is great although it felt like some of the side mission stories were just thrown in to give you a reason for doing it. The place where RF: Guerrilla really shines is the multiplayer.

In terms of the modes, it offers the usual CTF, deathmatch, large battles, Headquarters mode called damage control, and the two exceptions; siege and demolition. In siege you have attackers and defenders. The attackers are trying to destroy certain buildings and the defenders must stop them from reaching that objective. Demolition has a demolisher on each team trying to cause more destruction than the other team while his/her teammates try to keep them alive. These modes added in with a great assortment of backpacks to level the playing field as well as secret challenges, badges, sledgehammers, characters, and different ranks to unlock make this multiplayer more than just an afterthought. When it comes down to it, nothing beats watching a giant building come crashing down on your enemies and hearing them scream while they are being crushed....yea...now that would put a smile and any wannabe rebel's face.

The Conduit

Let me start off by saying I own all the systems, PC, MAC Ect. So when it comes to playing games I buy certain games for different systems, and I take the systems for what their worth, nothing more nothing less. Now with that out of the way... The Conduit, I have been following this game for the past two years. What attracted me to this game first of all was High Voltage saying they are doing things with the WII others can't or are to lazy to do. We all know the WII is underpowered compared to the PS3 and 360 but I think High Voltage has done a fantastic job bringing a First Class, First Rate FPS to the WII System. The Controls as all of you know by now is completely customizable, you WILL find the perfect control scheme if you try, SHOOT it took me an Hour, but after I got the Controls down, it was on. Also for a WII game the graphics are easy on the eyes and nice to look at not reveloutionary by Nex Gen standards but nice for a WII game(and I take the systems for what their worth, nothing more nothing less). Story could have been a little more involved it felt broken at times but not bad, also the computer A.I. seems to have been left on the drawing board. There were times I ran through a door and completely mowed down the whole room and their movements were memorizable, so I peep out their pattern . But as far as that an outstanding WII game I think WII owners need this game in their Lib.

amazing!

This game totally lives up to expectations, its bloody and satisfying. It has everything imaginable; vehicles, guns, powers, etc. It is defintely worth the money and i highly reccomend this game for ps3, it shines on that console. I know what ur thinking about infamous, but they are both unique and incompareable.

Famous

inFamous is a new game out from Sucker Punch. I can not say that I am familiar with their work in the past. I did get the chance to play through inFamous in the last week. I have to point out that my Pros and Cons might look like they contradict themselves, but I believe that is how the game is like.

The game was repetitive to say the least. I found the best way to do anything in the game was the regular lightning bolt attack. These adds to the repetitiveness of it. The combat in the game felt almost tacked on. The enemies were different but the same. The developers took the same concept for the enemies and applied it to every enemy in the game.

I found the game addicting. The minor flaws do not outweigh the big picture in any game. I found myself coming back to this game many times a day. I do not know what else to say about it besides that. A game that can keep me coming back many times a day is worth it.

I didn't feel like going through the game like most reviewers do. I figure if you wan't to read something like that. You would rather read it from a person who actually gets paid to do it.

I hope this brief thing about the game helps anyone with choosing whether you play it or not.

The Conduit Review

Single Player: Is not long and you should be able beat it in less than seven hours. I have to admit something though I didn't have much fun with the single player. It was okay but i didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would when I didn't have it. 7/10

Just Another Bargin Bin Movie Game.

I am somewhat upset with the outcome of this game and at the same time I'm not surprised at all. Transformers: ROTF is your typical movie tie-in game. It doesn't bring anything new to the table; however, what it does bring is void of any creativity or substance.

The story loosely follows the new movie that released today. It tells this "story" through horrible "cut scenes" of transformers standing around talking using in game graphics which don't do it any justice. If you are buying this game you won't be buying it for the story. You love Transformers and you want to play as them. This is where the game shines. You really feel like you are playing as your favorite autobot or decepticon. The ability to morph into certain modes definitely is a treat for core gamers and fans alike. It did; however, feel very awkward in how you switched between modes and use the abilities of each one. It does take time to feel comfortable with the button layout but once you figure it out you'll be riding in vehicle form, super jump and flip into your robot mode, grab onto a building, and jump up to the roof to survey your immediate surroundings. It is here that makes trying this game worth it. You will be flipping in and out of modes destroying your enemies with ease and a smile on your face. That is until you notice one of the bugs in the game. In the copy I played i couldn't help but find random bugs that interfered with my play time. Some of the noticeable ones were getting stuck on buildings in car form, enemies running into walls for minutes on end, and one that sold it for me was the first "boss" you fight in Shanghai. A friend told me about their fight with him and how he was tough to fight being the enemies flying above you and the boss always on you made it semi-challenging. When I got to the same boss he just sat in one corner and spun around not moving at all while all the helicopters in the sky just circled me and didn't shoot at me once no matter what I did. Not sure if this was just a fluke with my copy but I tried it twice and the same scenario took place. Even in a movie game things like these should not happen if even a drop of quality testing is done.

Aside from a barely average multiplayer mode that will keep your attention for about an hour this game is a huge let down. From the bland graphics to the uninspiring story, this game is exactly what it's supposed to be...a way to cash in more on the Transformer's name. Play it because you are a fan of the Transformers not because you are looking for a great "mech" game.

One of the best action Games out there

Prototype is an unbelievable, dystroy-anything game. Just think Die Hard, The Incredible Hulk, and that guy who can turn into anything from Terminator all fused into a game. With amazing weaponry and abilities in your arsenal, power is at you're fingertips. Not only can you tear apart anything that you touch, but you can use weapons dropped by the military and hijack their vehicles. If you want a game that makes you feel like you are an indistructable killing machine, this is the game for you.

There are only a couple of flaws in this game though. The graphics are not really up to par and the camera around the character is a little too close.

But these are only minor issues. This game is a must get and must be a part of your collection.
