Medal of Honor

Its a bit late but I just got Medal of Honor for Christmas and so far its really fun. The campaign so far ( I haven't beaten it) is very well made and alot of fun. One of my favorite mission is when your on the helicopter destroying a small village I believe. As for the multiplayer it looks alot like Battlefield Bad Company 2, you may have heard its like BFBC2 and Call of Duty put together, well I'd say thats pretty accurate. Its more fast paced and the BFBC2 and has that free for all feeling of Call of Duty where you won't have to worry about team work. Something I've noticed though is that sniping feels harder then Call of Duty and BFBC2. I think its because the game feels more close quarters and sniping is harder to do because of it. Other then that the multiplayer is very fun unlike what I've heard. It was much harder starting the game, if you came from BFBC2 you might have thrown a few grenades trying to melee someone, the controls are different and I had a bit of a hard time getting used to them but it worked out later you just have to keep playing.

One of the things I've had alot of fun with is using the c4 or the IED and putting them on cars and setting it off when someone walks by. Play as the Taliban you might as fight like one right?

Gun Bros

Sorry its been so long since I made a post, You know the holiday season just takes p all your time. Well anyways I'm reviewing Gun Bros today.

Gun Bros is a "two stick" shooter for the itouch/iphone/ipad. Gun Bros like many other games is a free to play game but has many items where you can use real money to buy. This is something I have always hated since most of the time the prices for the in-game money are too high, but by far, Gun Bros is the most expensive of them all. You get much to little "War Bucks" (which is the form of currency) for the money you paid for them.You get 5 War bucks for $0.99 and to get any good weapons or armor you need at least 40 War Bucks. Other then the big rip-off Gun Bros is an extremely fun game, there are so many different weapons and armor to choose from you'll be trying to decide whether you want to save for the next one or buy the one you can get now. The "Bro" system allows you to change your second Bro to someone elses on your Game Center friends list so you can have two power houses taking down the room. Something I'd like to see in the next update though is having at least two players, because so far the only thing you can do is play with another persons Bro which is fun but multiplayer would be great.

Gun Bros is free in the app store but if you actually want some really good stuff you might find yourself buying more then you would have paid for the app itself. But its stiff free and its a great game I would recommend it to anyone.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 -Vietnam review

The Vietnam expansion for Battlefield Bad Company was just released yesterday and its going strong so far. There is alot to love about the Vietnam expansion. For one, the music in the game really takes you back in time if you've been there. The maps all look great with alot of detail and are very well made, for example half of "Hill 137" is completely destroyed by what looks like fires and bombings. All the burning embers flying around make it really something to look at and it brings you in the world. The weapons are also well made, both looks and firing seem to fit the guns perfectly and the vehicles especially the HUEY are very fun to drive. Only one day out though and there are already a ton of glitches in the game. When I first started playing I had unlocked all the weapons already and was disappointed because I though you weren't going to earn them-you just got them. But I played again today and all of the unlocked weapons were gone and its back to stage one. This would be good if the XP you earn actually contributed to your level because as of now whenever you finish a game you start out in negative XP. The same amount you just earned so when it adds up its just a big fat ZERO. One last thing I have a problem with is that it seems like no map is good for sniping, its either to close quarters to snipe in or theres too much obstacles in the way.

Other then those problems the game is still great and I definitely recommend it. Its well worth your money and you'll have a great time playing it. 

Battlefield Play 4 Free UPDATE

Ok so I finally got the Beta key for Battlefield Play 4 Free and its very laggy and buggy at the moment. Starting the game in full screen won't show the cursor and gets very frustrating. A simple solution for this problem is to start the game in windowed mode and when your in-game press Alt-Enter and you'll be brought to full screen. Other then that its just laggy sometimes but the game looks great and it really does feel like your playing a Battlefield game.  

Black Ops "First Strike"

Call of Duty Black Ops is going to have their first map pack "First Strike" on February 1, 2011. The new maps include:


Discovery - Antarctic German research station, abandoned from World War II. 

Kowloon – Inspired from the single-player campaign based off of Kowloon city in China. It's a rooftop map. 

Stadium – Hockey rink in northeastern United States. 

Berlin Wall – Takes place at Checkpoint Charlie. Is a battle between East and West Berlin. 

Ascension - Zombie map.

The "First Strike" map pack will be 1200 micosoft points and probably $15 for the ps3.

Battlefield Bad Company 2

EA Games has just released Battlefield Bad Company 2 on the iTouch, iPhone, and iPad. The graphics are looking pretty good for an itouch game and it even feels like BFBC2 when you play it. There are a bunch of problems so far but I don't know if its just me. When ever I try to play campaign its crashes which is disappointing since I would really love to try it. The multiplayer if far too laggy for me to play well and I get connection errors every once and a while. I'm not sure if its just my itouch or what but I hope it gets fixed if its the game, and its possible since it just got released today. I really hope this is only a temporary problem because the game looks and feels great. Even the menu and music resembles that of the console one except the music is just a little bit different.

Right now the game is only $0.99! Get it while its cheap and you know a mobile version of BFBC2 isn't going to be the cheap forever. Even if it does have problems now I'm sure it'll get fixed ASAP and you can't turn down the price now.

Battlefield Play 4 Free

Battlefield Play 4 Free is a free to play FPS shooter. From what I've seen so far I believe it works like Combat Arms or Crossfire where there are servers to pick from and a store where you can buy weapons. The game is only in its beta stage and I haven't gotta key for it yet but as soon as I do I'll write more about it. The graphics aren't like Battlefield Bad Company but they're pretty good for a free 2 play FPS though. Its being made by EA so it does seem promising and maybe it can even be the next Counter Strike. So far I've seen tanks, helicopters, armored cars, and even a jet but whether thats playable I'm not too sure. Theres only a little bit of gameplay from the trailer in first-person and there isn't any HUD (heads up display) showing so there isn't much too see.

This will hopefully turn out to be a great game and if you want to try it go ahead and click here to sign up for a beta key, your going to have to wait for a while though.

Cut the Rope: Holiday Gift

Cut the Rope looks like the next hottest game for the itouch/iphone platform. This is very channeling but also pretty simple at the same time. You basically have a little cute looking ummm..thing named "Om Nom" that only eats candy. What you have to do is cut ropes, pop bubbles, and blow air to get the candy to your pets mouth. The more challenging part is that there are 3 stars and you don't need the get them but they get harder and harder to get with each level. To get three stars on the level you actually have to collect all 3 stars which is sort of a new concept since most games give you stars based on how you did on the level. Cut the Rope is a great combination of puzzle and...fun, which seems to be lacking in alot of puzzle games.

Right now there is a holiday version of "Cut the rope" and is totally free as the word gift implies. Its a very well made game and if you really enjoy this holiday gift then you should get it for a cheap price of only $0.99 like most of the best apps there are.

Veggie Samurai

Veggie Samurai may at first seem like a cheap knockoff of Fruit Ninja, and well it kinda is. Except its not a cheap one its actually really fun. When I first saw Veggie Samurai I just thought wow just a bad attempt to get money from another popular app. Until today where its free for a limited time and I decided to download it to see what its like. So far I haven't put it down, its extremely addicting and very well made with nice looking graphics it being just food anyways it wouldn't really matter. Veggie Samurai has many different game modes to keep you interested including Samurai, Harmony, Chaos, Sort, Match, and Training each having a different goal to keep you playing. It also has rewards you for doing combos like cutting 3 or more with one cut and others like that.

Over all Veggie Samurai is a great game even though its not exactly original its definitely well made.

If your thinking about getting this then I suggest you get it now because it free right now but not for long so get it while you can.

Ultra Deep

Ultra Deep is a very addictive doodle art styled game. You basically drop down while trying to avoid obstacles that kill you. You goal is to get as deep as possible and collect as much diamonds as you can which you can use to but items and various upgrades. The art style is like the one in the popular games doodle jump, it looks like a piece of paper and someone just drew on it which I think looks great. You will find it very addicting just trying to get as many diamonds as you can and going deep and deeper but that when it starts to get a little bit boring. I went down so deep (hoping the background will change again as it has done before) that I actually wanted to die because its just been so long I didn't even want to play anymore. That is the one big problem, it just doesn't get any harder and once you got it down then it become too easy. One more problem is that it takes forever to collect enough diamonds to get something you like, most things cost 2,500 and you have to collect each individually. At this point you realize its a way they can easily make money. You can get 5,000 for just 99 cents and 15,000 for $1.99. It just takes too much time to collect that much and thats why it seems so cheap for so many diamonds.

Over all its a great game and I really recommend it especially since its free now for a limited time so grab it while you still can.

Total War: Shogun 2

So if you haven't heard already there will be a much need Shogun 2 coming out March 15, 2011. Much needed because if your a Total War fan then you've probably wanted a Shogun 2 or a new Rome for a while and those old graphics just don't cut it these days. Well Shogun 2 has great looking graphics and the animations look better then ever. Just like Empire, Shogun will have navel battles too not sure how that works but I think you'll be seeing some of those giant almost castle like ships on the sea. Something thats missing so far is...Ninjas. Yea they didn't exactly get along too well with the Samurai but wouldn't it be cool to control an elite squad of NINJAS?! Yes, thats the answer. The answer is yes. Oh and if you still don't know by now, noob, the Total War series is an action RTS which is where you control an army usually looking from above them.

Then in the third fight you will face a boss called Hardskin Yasheedees and for the fourth phase you fill fight Crimson Devourer, which is a very hard boss.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 -- Vietnam

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam is a digital expansion pack for BFBC2. This new expansion will bring Vietnam to your screen as 4 new maps are coming along with a whole new set of weapons.

Well thats one of many new, or old, weapons your going to be able to use in this expansion. You will also be getting six new vehicles to shoot, bomb, and run over your enemies including the American Huey helicopter and the Russian T54 tank. There will be a total of 15 Vietnam era weapons to use while your listening to your 60's rock and roll music in the game.

This expansion will be a exciting one and I assure you I will not be missing it.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam will be released in the winter of 2010.

21 Pro: Blackjack

21 Pro Blackjack is available for the itouch/iphone. 21 Pro Blackjack is the most professional and clean looking blackjack game for the itouch I've seen so far. There are 3 different tables to join each getting higher in cash making the game much more fun than alot of the other Blackjack games out there. The game even lets you continue from where you last left off when you closed the app so its like you can actually keep all the cash you made. There is a free version of the game so if your into Blackjack you can't miss this game, there is no better Blackjack app then this one in the app store.

Activision Blizzard in a lawsuit with Axl Rose

The lead singer from Guns N' Roses is suing Activision Blizzard for $20 million after the company's use of their song, "Welcome to the Jungle" in "Guitar Hero III."
He is complaining because the company "fraudulently included" him that they could use the song.

Underworlds

Under worlds is and RPG for the itouch/iphone. This game can be called a portable Diablo or a Diablo clone, whatever you want to call it, its simply amazing. For anyone who likes Diablo or loves, this is a must buy. There are countless amounts of armor and weapons the gain through out the game and different abilities to upgrade. You start the game killing a few rats which seems boring at first but you'll soon find yourself pitting you skills against, to say the least, a very bad person. I found myself playing for hours because there is just so much to do and I especially love the graphics, no they aren't good, there more like...outdated. Which is what makes it so fun, if you've played Diablo you'll feel right at home and probably won't have much trouble falling in love with it. There are some things they should do to maybe a sequel or update however. A 2-4 player co-op would make the game a must buy and hopefully adding a longer story as the you could probably beat the game in a day if you have the time to. One more thing is to make the controls a bit easier to use, I don't have much of a problem with them but a few people here and there feel its a bit clumsy.

There is a free version of the app if you want to try it out and I recommend you do because you will be buying  the full game and luckily its only for 99 cents!

Dragon Age II

Dragon Age II is the second in the Dragon Age series made by BioWare. With a new story there will be plenty more adventures to go through and many gore filled thrills. Hopefully this will follow in the success of  Dragon Age Origins as it was big hit. If you've seen the trailer, you are probably as excited about it as I am and can't wait. I'll write a review when it comes out but as for now you can check out the website for more information about the game. Also if you haven't played the first Dragon Age then you should go ahead and check that out too its a great game and it'll help you understand the story and get you prepared for DAII.
