Hunter: The Reckoning - Xbox

What happens when Resident Evil meets Gauntlet?

Finally a hack and slash game done right. From the minute you boot this game up you know your in for non stop action. Some many not like it's style or presentation but for what its worth(hack and slash fun) it delievers big time. There are some minor problems with the camera at times but nothing that will ruin the gameplay. The graphics are slightly above average for this type of game but they(developers) could of done alot more with it. The gameplay is tight though I hear its short(still playing it). The best thingabout this game is the control instead of cycling though 6 or 7 weapons while fighting zombies there are 3 buttons that control certain weapons. This was a great move, I can't remember how many times I ended up getting killed cause I was cycling through my weapons trying to find the right one. With this setup you know your special weapons are on this button, your stand weapons are on this button and your other weapons(guns and flame throwers) are on that button. If your looking for non stop fun without the thinking of stragedy get Hunter, its worth the money.

Halo: Combat Evolved - Xbox

Just a great game and one of the best of the year.

I am not going to go off and say this game is a gift from God or that it is perfect. In my opinion there is no perfect game and never will be but Halo is not too far from it. Everything from the graphics to gameplay to the music and sound is great. Yeah the enemies sound funny when you shoot them but its not annoying enough to hurt the game. Also controlling some of the vehicles is a pain at first but once you get use to it is pretty fun. What makes this game so good is its not just a game were you blast the bad guys and run and shoot at everything(although at times it is). There is alot of thinking in some levels and takes different approaches to getting by as well. And everytime you try to tackle the same area its always different because the enemies just don't do the samething everytime. This is what makes the game so great, the AI on both sides adjust rapidly and during the battles to what you do. If you run and shoot your buddies will try to cover you and go in right with you. The enemies will hide and shoot at you as well. If you decide to shoot and cover then your buddies will do the same and the enemies will adjust to it and try to counter attack you. This is the beauty of Halo. Also multiplayer games are worth the price of this game alone. There's so much to do with your friends here and it reminds me of my friends having Goldeneye parties and playing that game till dawn. Xbox needed a game to show it means business and nothing shows this better than Halo. I gave it a 4.5 but I really give it a 4.8 its that good.

Dead or Alive 3 - Xbox

So close but..

I will keep this short and sweet get up and get this game. If you love fighting games don't even bother reading this go buy..NOW!! Okay you decided to stay, well this game is pretty close to a 5.0 but one thing held it back. Its pretty much the same as DOA2 and while DOA2 was DOA3 should of been better. The graphics yes look great, the control is top notch also. And it has everything you expect from a fighting game(story, tag team, survivor, 2player, practice and other modes) but there is nothing new here and that (a small problem) is the reson for my 4.5 and not 5.0. Its a great game but not perfect.
