Medal of Honor: Warfighter Review

The Medal of Honor series rebooted in 2010 and I really enjoyed the game giving it a high review score.  The direct sequel was released this October titled Medal of Honor: Warfighter.  Will it live up to it’s predecessor? Warfighter’s campaign mode picks up right after the original game as you continue to fight the terrorist’s to prevent them from using the PETN weapon.  You will travel to Bosnia, Somalia, Pakistan and the Philippines. The story features two soldiers as you jump back and forth between their tales.  Stump who is a Recon Marine turned Navy SEAL and Preacher who you will remember from the first game.  The game also features Dusty as he operates from a command center for most of the game. I really wanted to enjoy this game and even pre-ordered it however the campaign was a ... Read More »

SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs Review

I have been a Sony loyalist for a long time now.  The major attraction that continues to draw me to Sony is the huge selection of Sony exclusive titles.  Somehow over the years I’ve continued to pass on a very successful series titled SOCOM.  A few months back that all changed. I was able to purchase SOCOM 4: US Navy SEALs at a discount price for $10.  I couldn’t pass this opportunity to finally experience a shooter that has a cult like following.  For those that aren’t familiar,  SOCOM 4 is a 3rd person tactical shooter. The single player campaign has you playing as Cullen Gray,  a NATO Ops Commander.  You lead a team of 5 soldiers against a entire army trying to take over a country in Southeast Asia.  At times in the campaign you switch to Forty-Five,  a Female Lieutenant in the ...

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Review

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is the sequel to one of my most enjoyable gaming experiences in recent years. Can the title live up to the first game? The short answer is yes the game lives up to the expectations and exceeds it.  The game picks up right after the first title.  The Autobots are trying to leave Cybertron in desperation as Megatron and the Decepticons are controlling the planet. You will play as Autobots and Decepticons over a 6 day period during a epic story with 13 chapters of play.  Fall of Cybertron does a great job informing you of the story so it’s not necessary for you to play War for Cybertron however I highly recommend it. The first mission starts with a bang as the Ark is being ambushed by Megatron.  This mission has you playing Bumblebee and ... Read More »

Duke Nukem Forever Review

Back in 1997 Duke Nukem was on top of the Gaming World.  Duke Nukem 3D was one of the most popular games of all time and it’s sequel was in development.  What turned out to be one of the most bizarre developments of all time across every media platform,  Duke Nukem Forever didn’t get released until June 2011. That’s right folks,  this game was 15 years in the making.  For 15 years fans of the series went through a roller coaster of ups and downs.  This game suffered through lawsuits,  company changes,  system generation changes and 4 Presidential terms before it was finally released. Duke Nukem Forever became a joke amongst the gaming community and the game went through one more final delay in the months before it was officially released.  The question that everyone had on their mind after ...

Resistance: Fall of Man Review

November 2006,  the Playstation 3 was released and a “system seller” came out along with it.  The first must have game for the new system,  Resistance: Fall of Man.  Resistance is a first person shooter that takes place in 1951. Glancing at the game,  you might expect this to be a World War 2 game but it’s so much more.  The setting and story is what attracted me to the game so many years ago.  In the 1930’s a alien race known as the Chimera land and take over Russia. By 1949 the Chimera have conquered Europe and are ready to completely take over the United Kingdom thus causing WWII to never happen.  Even though WWII never took place,  the setting is still relevant to world history. We were still focused on War and weapons during the 1940’s.  Only now ... Read More »

Transformers: War for Cybertron Review

I’ve always been a Transformers fan.  I enjoyed the cartoons as a child,  played with the toys,  and I’ve watched the live action movies several times.  The one thing that I’ve always wanted from Transformers,  was a good video game.  When I first heard that High Moon Studios had begun work on a Transformers game,  I had low expectations. My first concern was that the game would be a movie based game.  As most gamers know,  almost all movie based games suffer from low budgets,  rushed deadlines and horrible results.  Once I learned that the game was going to have it’s own story and not be tied to any movie,  I was relieved. Transformers: War for Cybertron was released in June 2010.  I purchased the game the week it came out and couldn’t wait to play it.  WFC is an ... Read More »

Killzone 2 Review

I remember like it was yesterday,  it was 2005 at E3. One of the most fascinating video clips in modern gaming history was shown.  The graphics were the best I’ve seen.  The action was incredible.  It was being called the “Halo Killer” and a “System Seller”.  The game that was shown was Killzone 2. I didn’t know much about Killzone.  I knew it was a First Person Shooter and it was a Sony Exclusive and that was about it.  After seeing the epic footage of Killzone 2,  I decided 2 things.  Number 1,  I must get this game the day it comes out and number 2,  I must find some info on Killzone. The footage that was shown at the 2005 E3 received much hype.  Sony gamers were in awe.  Microsoft gamers were immediately saying that it wasn’t actual game ... Read More »

Medal of Honor Review

Medal of Honor is one of the most famous and successful video game franchises of all time.  When you think of MoH,  you think World War 2.  For the 13th edition in the long running series,  you experience for the first time a non WW2 setting.  Simply titled Medal of Honor,  this title is a reboot and takes place during the War in Afghanistan. MoH was released in October 2010 by Danger Close who are affiliated with Electronics Arts and DICE who are famous for Battlefield.  The title is the first in the series to feature a Mature rating.  I originally passed on the game as I was too focused on Call of Duty at the time.  After picking the title up for $20,  I was pleasantly surprised. The single player campaign mode takes place in 2002 in Afghanistan.  You ... Read More »

MAG Review

I remember when news first broke on MAG,  It was during E3 08.  I like many gamers were very excited.  It promised big things and a game on epic proportions.  When the game was released in early 2010,  it received decent reviews and had strong sales.  I was let down. Before MAG was released,  it went through several name changes.  One in particular was called Massive Action Game.  The game eventually just went with the MAG title.  Massive is a good word to describe the game.  It allows up to 256 online players at one time. MAG is unique in the way that you have no option for a single player experience.  This First Person Shooter is a online only game.  No Campaign,  no co op campaign,  just online fun.  I often think and feel like many other FPS games ...
