Hello all a little before the third game in the series came out Uncharted:Drake Deception, Naughty Dog the developers of the Uncharted series released the first two games in the series Uncharted:Drake Fortune and Uncharted:Among Thieves. Let me say I am very pleased with both game. The first Game Uncharted Drake fortune is a very well wounded game, with lots of humor, and action. More than once did I find myself laughing at the lines and how the characters interacted with each other the game's only problem is that it is a little too difficult to pull off major fighting combo. The cream of this two game set is Uncharted 2 Among thieves The second game of the series is excellent, enhancing all that made the first game so good and adding a few new spins to the mix, the controls are tighter than before and pulling off massive combos, and stealth kills is very easy and fun to do. With the story getting a major boost to length and breath of the overall story.
First off let me say that for 39.99 this is a great deal for two used games, the games are excellent and worth the money you would buy for a new game. Secondly the games themselves are great, enjoyable, and a blast to play, and finally it sets you up for the new Uncharted 3 all in all this is a great set to buy for someone

Ps3 Game Review Medal of Honor Limited Edition
*This deals with the single player component only*
Hello all
I just got through playing a well crafted game, and let me say the people at danger close did a good job with Medal of Honor, while not a call of duty it is still a good game. First off let me say the controls are very familiar to someone who has played shooter before, so learning and getting used to the controls will not be hard for someone who has played Call of duty, or any other shooters. Secondly the attention to detail in terms of military tactics, is very evident and the story shows this as well. Third the graphics and sound make if feel like you are in these environments. From the way the lens flare when you looks at the sun to the way the snow crunches from your foes footsteps is very well dont and really pulls you into the game
However, not all is good there is some bad to this game, for one it is short not very short but two short for me, it took me 3 days to finish the story where as Call of duty took a week or more, secondly, once the single player the only mode is tier one mode which is more like time attack than anything else, and finally the extra game Medal of Honor frontline while a good nostalgia trip is very frustrating and not worth the time to install and play. Still it is a okay buy for the money but I would buy something else also when you buy this as the time it takes to complete does bring down the story a lot.

Infamous Ps3 Game Review
Hello all
I just got through playing the game infamous and let me say I was very impressed with the game. While not giving much of the story away, the game is a open world action adventure. In the game you play a person with super powers and you have to choose his path either hero or villain and throughout this path you have to discover the origin of your powers. Throughout the game your choices determine how the world and espically the people will see you, will they see you are the protector of the city or as it's destroyer. Will the woman you love look at you with pride or disgust, what about your best friend these are all questions that the game poses to you and asks which path will you choose, there also plenty of extras throughout the game that give hints to the event that gave you your powers. There are a couple of bad points, one thing is that the ending boss fight is really easy, secondly the graphics are choppy at times, and if you have never played a game like this the learning curve can be a bit ruff, but if you can overlook this short comings this is a very excellent game

Counterspace book review
Counterspace is written by William b Scott, Michael J. Coumatos, and William J. Birnes.
It is a good novel while not great it is very good with a decent amount of love, war and more importantly a glimpse at what the future of warfare could entail in a more technology based war. The book is the sequel to the book SPACE WARS. The book takes off almost immediately after the first one and continues to shw the ramifications of a degraded space network and also what crazy people with nuclear bombs can do. The book while good is not great and does have some flaws, for one if you have not read the first one you might get lost with the story, secondly there is a lot of military terminology while some is explained a great deal is not and if you are not familiar with it you might get lost in the wording of the different organizations, and finally some of the actions of the characters are suspect and some of the events that propel the story are suspect as well, one of these being a major event at the very beginning of the story. Still the books is a great read and does give insight into what may be the first shots in the next great conflict. Those shots will not be of bullets but of satellites, data, and electrons.

Call of Duty Black ops Ps3 Review
*this review is for the single player and the zombie portions of the game only
When i first bought this game just about a couple of days ago i did not know what i was going to get for one thing it aint made by the same people as the Modern Warfare series, secondly it takes place during the cold war. Let me say this game is just as good as Modern Warfare 2 while not being as a MW3 it is still a great game to play. The story keeps you hooked to the end mixing in a what is real and what is fake thing going, it also feature alot of major plats from the 60's. All The guns are authentic to the time period and keep the story grounded in the 60's. The controls are very solid and react smoothly and quickly to your input on the controller The zombies portion of the game while a survivor mode does feel very different and new and with alot of games doing the horde or survivor mode in games now days that is something to note. also the game takes the series to another dimension with flying levels which are good
There are 2 downsides to this game, first off most of the missions are follow the leader types of missions and i hate those and secondly the flying portions of the game could have used a little tweaking in the shooting department besides those two this is a very good game enjoy

2011 year in review
Well it is now almost time to put 2011 in the rear-view mirror and look ahead to 2012, but before we do let us look back on the year that was 2011 and in this year can be summed up in one word "questioning"
This is the year where people began to question everything and some of the answers they got they didn't like, it started with the tea party, continued through the arab spring and ended with Occupy Wall street. This is the year where people question everything and saw how bad things had got and decided to challenge what was wrong and in some cases they won in others not so much, still this has been a year of questioning and of change, hopefully 2012 will be the year of answers no matter what let us look back on this year as the year questions where asked, and people stood up for change.
Happy new Year everyone

Robin Hood DVD review
*the following is from viewing of the widescreen edition of the film only
He is a symbol of freedom worldwide, there have been many movie adaptations of the famed outlaw Robin Hood, but in this one starring Kate Blanchett as Maid Marion and Russell Crowe as robin hood, this is one of my favorites.
MAIN FEATURE
In the main movie it is not about how Robin Hood stops the sheriff it is how he gets started, from the crusades with Richard the lion heart in the 12th century crusades, to Nottingham. This is the story before the legend, how did maid Marion and robin meet. Where did he get will, john, friar tuck and the merry men, how does the Sherwood forest play into all of this. These questions are brought to light in this movie and are done very well. You can tell Ridley Scott did some research on the background of the times and the people and it shows throughout the entire movie.
SPECIAL FEATURES
the unrated director cut, which is the one I saw, has no features save both the theatrical release and the unrated directors cut which is well done and shows extra scenes.
NEGATIVES
the special features are few is about the only negative I can see about this film.
FINAL THOUGHTS
this movie is a very well done movie and has a very special place in my heart while it updates the legend it also does it justice by not watering it down or trying to make it politically correct which seems to be happening a lot here lately in hollywood. It would make a great gift for any fan of the century films, or of the legend of Robin hood. But the special features being so few may make you want to look for the blu ray edition.
