Too Human - Xbox 360

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals Lousy camera/viewpoint
Engaging story  
Intense action  
Addictive gameplay  
Innovative concepts  
Bow down to your cybernetic God

This game kicks Norse ass, but it can be a little frustrating untill you get used to the controls. The contols are very intuitive and well thought out, but they are definitely not traditional, so it does take some time to get accustomed to them. Unfortunately, I think that a lot of critics (a.k.a. - Gamepro) did not take the time or effort to even attempt to learn the control scheme, and thus scored the game harshly. Also, if you don't employ some strategy and use all of the tools that are at your disposal, you'll be sitting thru a lot of slooow death scenes. But once you grasp the controls, learn to mix your melee and ranged attacks, and wisely deploy your spider and "Ruiner" attacks, you'll be kicking some Norse ass. This game also includes an awsome assortment of weapons and upgrades for you character. But be aware, that the skill tree and the inventory and weapons systems are soo vast that they to will require a bit of learning curve. I thought that the story was very compelling and engaging and cut scenes were excellent. The graphics and art direction are fantatic. The only thing that really bugged me about the game was the automatic camera, which could use some work, but at least you have the option to center the camera and change the camera angle. If you're an action RPG fan, and willing to dedicate a little time to learn the control scheme and required stategy, you'll be well rewarded! I will anxiously be awaiting the next two installments or this epic action RPG!

Warhawk - PS3

Lots of Fun

This game is a lot of fun. The graphics are nothing to write home to mom about, but they did do an excellent job with the cloud effects. This game definitely excels when you're in vehicles. No single player mode is pretty lame.

Halo 3 - Xbox 360

Great Fun

This game is a blast. It might not have stellar graphics, but overall the imagery comes together very well, and lighting effects are excellent. The story does enough to keep you involved. Gameplay is outstanding and a lot of fun. The campaign is on the short side, but is still one of the best for any FPS, and co-op is awsome. Online play, I give the edge to GOW, but Halo 3 is still outstanding.
