Mass Effect 2 Ps3 Review

Hello all for a while now i have head alot about this Scifi RPg mass effect now first off let me say that i am not an RPG fan, when i think RPg's i think of spells and sorcery, and swords and that aint my thing i like, action, shooting, and explosions. Well let me say after playing ME2 i was glad to be surprised. This game is a work of art and very rarely do i play a game that can hook me in like this and keep me hooked. The games has both elements of shooters and rpg's. It has quests, but plenty of weapons. This is a game that both shooter fans and RPG fans alike can appreciate. First off what is so great about this game is the customization. You can make you character male or female, an orphan or a rich anything you want. You have multiple classes to choose from and unlike most shooters you know who you are playing as intimately instead of as casually. Secondly is the cast of characters you meet along the way, these different beings from around the galaxy are very diverse in how they do things and many of the side quests you take are to earn their loyalty and respect. Another thing that is really good about it is that your actions have consequences for you character in how the universe treats you. Make to many evil choices and you will be a renegade make many good choices and you are a paradigm. finally the story all of the above would be meaningless if the story did not hook you in and make you want to play, and let me say this story ranks up there with some of the best scifi i have seen in a long while. The story has, mystery, intrigue, love, hope, anger, friendship, enemies, this story has all of the elements to hook anyone whether they are a RPG fan or shooter fan this story will hook them. Also another thing is that this game is LONG. which is a good thing in my book, this game can hook you and keep you hooked for a while and with all the customazation options available it will keep you wanting to come back for more yet not all is right on ME2 first off it is very difficult to see your choices screen in the dialogue, and if you have never played a RPG before the learning curve can be a bit steep but other than that this is a great game and on that should not be missed. 9.5 out of ten

Homefront Ps3 Review

the following does not include the multiplayer portion of the game only the single player portion
Hello all
every now and then you see and play a game that has so much promise and is not particularly bad but it does not live up to what it could have been, Homefront is one of these games. First off the story is very good, i really did enjoy the story in this game and it does bring forth a very rich history and environment that you can get lost in. Secondly the characters are very believable and make the situations they are in more believable they add flair, humor, seriousness, and sadness to the game. The gameplay is one area it does fall short on, it is standard shooter flair and with game like Call of duty Modern Warfare 3 and battlefield 3 taking things up a notch, standard is not good enough any longer, another area where this game falls flat is the length, i finished this game in 2 days, most games now days last longer, another area is the ending, i really hate it where the ending seems rushed, and this is one game that does it. While it was good it was still rushed and left alot open. In closing this game is not necessarily bad but the length, the fact that they played it safe and the ending left alot to be desire, but this is a game that has much promise, and with a sequel being developed by Crytek the people behind far cray, i believe this is only the beginning.

Assassins Creed 2 Ps3 Review

hello all
for a while now all i have heard about is this game series called Assassins Creed well i went out and bought AC2 and let me say i am impressed, the people ay Ubisoft know how to make games and they did a good one with this game and if this is any indication then the rest of the series should be great also.
First off the good, this is an open world game similar to GTA or Infamous whee you have the main quest and several side quest you can perform. That brings us to one of the biggest advantages of this game, is variety. There is so much to do that you will rarely have to guess what you are going to do next. Secondly the story is very well done, with alot of history mixed with a little science fiction. The characters and the settings all impressive and so alot of forethought and research into the era as will as the politics of the time frame it takes place in as well as the people who appear in the game. the fighting is well done and the action keeps you into the games and makes it hard to put the controller done, and also it take a little while to finish the game which is always a good thing.
However, not all is good on the AC2 first off the lock on system used for fighting takes some getting used too, secondly the games take a little bit to get going good, and finally at times there can be too much to do in the game especially towards the end of the game. yet these are minor complaints for a game that definitely worth at least a rental but for people who enjoy good stories and definite buy
