Uncharted 2:Among Theives

Overall 9/10: Hands down, this is one of the best PS3 games. If you loved the first one, you’ll easily be blown away by this one. Everything that made the original so great has returned. Great gameplay, epic story. Even though the game didnt need multiplayer, it got it.

Gameplay 9/10: Not much has changed, still good solid gameplay. Puzzles, action, collecting, the game

Single Player 10/10: The story was good, I like the one from Drake’s Fortune more though. There were so many OMG moments. I loved the train level, its something you dont see to often. I only wish it would of had ACTUAL co-op. I think they attempted it, but couldn’t get it to work.(If you notice Drake is almost always with someone and you need their help for some puzzles.) Anyways, this game was epic. Nuff said.

Multiplayer 7/10: It’s fun, but I think the games lack of weapons hurt multiplayer. There is a decent amount, just not enough. There is nice variety of game types. The mini co-op mode was kinda fun, nothing I’d play after I beat it though.

My Road to Recon

At long last I haz recon.

Vidmaster Annual: This was the hardest one on Halo 3. Getting up the tower wasnt really the hard part, it was the part with the ghosts because people kept falling off. It ended up being a follow the leader game. Took me a couple tries because the first time I flipped my ghost at the very last second and I wasnt on it.

Vidmaster Lightswitch: Not really hard, just needed to earn 50 XP in one playlist. Unfortunatly I was XP banned so I had to wait.

Vidmaster 7 on 7: Once again not hard, but my dumb ass was XP banned during the first 7 on 7 so I had to wait a month to get it.

Vidmaster Brainpan: The easiest one out of all of the vidmasters, finding and getting the skulls on each mythic map was easy. Except Citidel because it was jammed up in there. lol

Vidmaster Classic: At first it seemed overly intimidating, but ended up taking less then 10 min. Just jack a ghost at the begining of Uplift Reserve and boost your way to the end.

Vidmaster Endure: By far the hardest one to get without a doubt. Taking nearly 2 hours to complete and 3 tries. First time some got dropped from the game in the third set. So that was an hour and a half wasted. Second game we ran out of lives on the third set. Finally made it with 25 lves left to spare on the final attempt.

Vidmaster Deja Vu: So here I was, one step away from Recon. Started off easy, went up and got our 1000 shot rocket launchers and slowly inched our way. Took us a good hour and half, but finally got it.

So then i went to bungie.net, unlocked my armor, went on Halo killed and teabag and lived happily ever afer. The end.

Halo 3: ODST Review

So here we are, another Halo game. But this time no Master Chief. Where do I want to start? Guess I’ll drop into hell.

Gameplay 8/10: Overall it is the same basic thing as Halo 3 with a few exceptions. Though there was no duel weilding, it didnt dissapoint me because what else do I need beside the pistol? Though I liked the VISOR, i felt i spent more time with it turned on then anything. The game was to dark.

Campaign 7/10: Overall I thought the story filled in a nice gap. Unfortunatly it didnt tell us anything we didnt already know. I thought the flashback idea turned out pretty good. Only real problems was it was to short and the Rookie didnt really serve a purpose. He was just some random ODST.

Firefight 10/10: Halo’s Horde mode. I thought it turned out very well. Wave after wave of covenant. The skulls switch up every round. Nothing bad to say about this.

Mythic Disc 10/10: The entire Halo 3 Multiplayer experiance. This am win. The new maps are the best yet. Longshore is a nice asymetrical map for 1 flag/1 bomb. Where as Citidel is a good symetrical indoor map that is open and pretty good for sniping. Then there is Heritic. It’s Midship, nuf said.

Overall 8/10: Graphics are lovely. Story fills in a small spot. Firefight is fun as hell. All of Halo 3 multiplayer, plus a Halo: Reach beta. Definate must buy, only wish campaign was longer and they did more with the Rookie.

History cant repeat itself!

Last year there were so many games and I had a hard time keeping up with them. At first I did good. Getting a game fully completed before the next one came out. Started in September when Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise came out. Got that done before the next game came out. Once Far Cry 2 came out in October, all hell broke loss and I couldnt keep up. I had to deal with Fable 2, Fallout 3, Farcry 2, Call of Duty World at War, Prince of Persia, Mirro’s Edge, LittleBigPlanet, Gears of War 2, Tom Clancy’s End War, Rock Band 2, Tomb Raider Underworld, Left 4 Dead, and a few others that I cant think of at the moment.

Not this year, I haz plans. It’s starting off slow, just like before. Right now I’m working on Batman: Arkham Asylum and Dissidia: Final Fantasy. I’ve got most of the achievements in Batman, once I do that and finish the story in Dissidia, I’m good to go until late September. Here is what I is getting and when it comes out.

Sept 16    Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story
Sept 22    Halo 3: ODST
Oct 13      Uncharted 2: Among Theives
Oct 27     Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time
Nov 10    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Nov 17    Assassin’s Creed 2

Aside from a couple of games that I plan on renting, my list is fairly spread out. I have enough time to finish a game off before the next one comes out. But I still need to take into consideration the games that I’ll be renting instead of buying. DAMN GOOD GAMES! lol

Gears of War 2 multiplayer and the garbage it is.

*Note: This is multiplayer only, not campaign or horde(Incase you were to stupid to read the titlte)

I loved Gears 1 Multiplayer(gotz me 10,000 kills achievement) and I expected to love Gears 2 multiplayer. At first I liked it, but I wasnt addicted to it like Gears 1. All these people that kept saying it sucked, I figured they were retards and I ignored them. But the more I continued to play, the more I’ve realized, I was the retard for not listening. Almost every aspect of multiplayer is an annoyance.

Smoke/Stun grenades – Good Idea, but it takes forever to get up and get moving and slows down the pace of gameplay.

Grenades proximity mine – Every time you spawn you get a new stun grenade. THAT YOU CAN PLANT. You cant go around a corner without getting blown up or knocked down.

Shotgun – No more host shotgun, my ASS. It’s more overpowered then in the first gears. Constant one hit kills are no fun.

Bots – When a player leaves, a bot replaces the empty spot. Good, yes. But they dont comprehend OBJECTIVES.

Ranking System – Better then what they had? No, basically the same, they just show your progress towards the last rank. An average player can obtain 500-1000 XP per match. 6.8 million XP for rank 100. If you leave, you lose 1500. What the hell?

Uneven Teams – Sometimes the game will start with uneven teams. Bullshit, nuff said.

Annex – No time limit until the round is over. ENDLESS MATCH. This topped it for me. I got an annex match. 5 on 2. The three missing people on my team were replaced with bots.  The other team wouldn’t take the hill and wouldn’t let us. Since the bots dont go for objectives, It was basically an hour of spawn killing for the other team. I left at the middle of round 2 because I was tire of the bullshit.

I can go on, but why waste more time ranting for something that I’m not going to be playing. As far as I’m concerned, I’m pretty much done with that multiplayer garbage. I’ll stick with something better. Like Call of Duty…3. Yeah, the shitty one.

Top 10 Xbox Live Arcade Games

1. Castle Crashers
A no brainer. This game had everything with the exception of the ‘rescue the princess’ storyline. But that really doesn’t matter. You’ll be to busy laughing you ass off. The game was long, had good music, extremely humorous, 4 player co-op. The list can go on and on. The number 1 must own arcade title

2. Braid
The number 2 must own arcade title…lol. Side scrolling puzzle game that lets you control time. The story is to rescue the….princess…AGAIN? Doesn’t matter. Buy the damn game.

3. N+
When I found out my princess was in another castle, I said fuck that and bought N+. One of the better puzzle game. Simple get from point A to point B gameplay.

4. Carcassone
Point A is to start the game. Point B is to KICK ASS. This is a board game kinda like Risk…I said kinda. Just try and control territories.

5. Uno
This game is also kinda like Risk….. 

6. Geometry Wars
You didn’t seriously expect me to say anything more about Uno did you? ITS UNO! What else is there to say. This game is badass. Blowing up squares while avoiding circles. WHATS BETTER THAN THAT? Plus all the flashing colors. I see that when I’m high.

7. Pac-Man C.E.
Damn I must still be high cuz this game has the flashy colors too. This classic game is reborn with a new style of game play. It’s better, faster, and more challenging.

8. Jetpac Refuelled
Speaking of more challenging. This game is good, but get really hard, really fast. But is an excellent remake of a classic. 

9. Aegis Wing
I’m to tired to think of a discription. Figure it out yourself.

10. Assault Heroes
A simple, yet intense topdown shooter. The game is a good length and better yet, it has co-op.

Weekly Top 10 is coming

I haz decided to do something different. When I made my blog I wanted to do game reviews(which I’ll still be doing, just not often). Instead I’m going to be doing a weekly top 10 of something game related. Of course this is(like any other blog) my own personal oppinion. So get readyz.
