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
