Game plot :...... well its the same as halo CE

Whats new: first 343i solo release of halo upgraded graphics way point, fire fight and remastered maps for multilayer and the ability to switch between mastered and original graphics ( this is only available in campaign) and they have also added a few skulls. So all together they have taken the best of the best from all halo games and combined them in to one game. So you would expect it to have sold lots and lots of copies but the last number I saw was around 1.2 million copies which is a respectable number but no where near Halo one's 5 million copies sold. And i cant see it getting there with halo one's price down to $5.00 and anniversary being near the same game I don’t think Microsoft is going to anywhere near the projected profits from the game.

What I liked and disliked about the game

PROS

• you can see the difference between it and the original
• you can turn most of the new things off
• some of the new lines
• fire fight is decently hard and fun
• load times are fast

CONS

• they changed sarges look too much and toned him down a lot
• the game doesn’t pause while switching modes
• the “upgraded” graphics are not that much better
• the game mechanics are the same
• too many achievement (one for every level)
• reach controls while playing the original halo ?

I would suggest this game for a halo one player who only has a 360 other than that I would only buy this game on sale. 

This game gets 4 of 7 WASD controllers

As a gamer my main focus has been on RPG's and RTS's    but that's not the background that I came from. what I started on was a Sega Genesis with only a few cartridges (and Sega CD's) and one of those cartridges was super street fighter 2, and its because of this I have been slowly buying all the fighter games that I can get my hands on. The latest addition to the collection (and the topic of this post) is the latest instalment in the Marvel vs Cappcom series  Ultimate Marvel vs Cappcom 3

I started this game the way that any one would I challenged my older brother in versus mode looking for revenge for all those times that he beat at...... well almost every other fighting game I've ever played with him. As we started the game we both chose random I got She Hulk Aurthur and Wolverine he got Ryu, X-25 and Deadpool. This time the win belonged to me. That was probably the first time I have ever beat him on a first play. He seemed rather miffed that I beat him so I offered him a rematch I won this as well and then we descended into 2 hours of him killing me with Amaterasu after all this I still hadn't figured out how to block so when he left to go do homework I quickly went to google this (and the combos for the Hulk) so when we played next I could easily win and next time we played... well he still won so that has led me to conclude that Amaterasu is the most overpowered character but that's not what this post is about. its about game play

here are some of the things  I found with the game starting with the positives


1. The arcade mode I found that it was placed together well and that there were nothing restricting me to charters  and you can actually tell the difference between all the AI (this makes me particularly happy as a guy who has to beat a game on all difficulty's

2. Load times from start to finish the load times are quick and not boring.

3. Each character has their own endings

Now for the negatives

1. Graphics aren't the best (but acceptable )

2. Not the best button configuration for the 360 you can customize the controller layout but this takes a long amount of time to set up

3. Voice acting is a Little Iffy

That's it for this review  if there is something I left out tell me what it is in comments !!!!!

by the way this game will be coming out the psp vita witch I think will be the best platform for it ... what do you think comment and share plz

Portal 2 Review

To start off with Portal 2 is a muticonsole game which I've played on both PC and Xbox 360 and I would say that its most definitely better on the PC. This is basically due to the slightly better graphics you can have and you can tune the controls to where your comfortable with them, and as we all know a game where the controls are not where you want will always lead to poor game play. This game seems to have paid a great attention to detail, in a lot of games you have to make a journey but don't remember the trip at all, but with Portal 2 you get a memorable trip and a great connecting of levels. Now some of the load times aren't that good and the load screen is rather boring but its loading  rather complex levels, not even talking about the graphics it has to load. Anyway I think that this is a very good sequel to the original portal which is a hard game to follow, but portal 2 took it all in stride. Now I am not really going to go into detail as to do that you have to give the game away. But I will say that the storyline gives you lots of options as to what to do, and it has a multilayer mode which is one of the best Ive played in a long while. And G.L.A.D.O.S. is still awesome and evil.

This Years Most Popular Games

Here we go  the following list and descriptions are, in my opinion, the most awaited games of
this year. 


EA will have Need for Speed The Run, out this year The Run will be the 19th game in the
continuing Need for Speed saga it is available November 15 on all the newer consoles and the 3DS

Bio ware will have the newest Star Wars game out this year it will be called The Old Republic

One of the most awaited games this year Battle Field 3 will be out at some point this year

What I think to be the best game out yet this year- Dead Space 2- came out earlier this
year

In a tie for best game, well in my mind, Mass Effect 2 was also out this year and the 3rd part of this game saga
will be out in the holiday season in the form of Mass Effect 3

The Elder Scrolls Skyrim will be out this year on  November 11 this is basically the only
offering from Bethesda this year 

Atari's big game this year is Test Drive Unlimited 2 which is all ready out

Capcom has the 3rd Marvel vs Capcom scheduled to come out in November

Capcom's other big game was Dead Rising 2

Square Enix has one of the coolest looking games coming out in September this of course is                     Dead Island there are definitely a lot of people waiting for this game. This going to be a big  one

Its Nintendo time, Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword is set to release in November around the 20th

The new Kirby will be out in October and will be titled Kirby"s Return to Dreamland 
Driver San Fransisco will be out October 8th
Star fox 64 3D will be out on the 3DS on October 9



That's my idea of a best games in 2011 list, if you think I forgot a game leave a comment telling me what it is.

what i think of dead rising 2

OK here it is. this is my opinion about Dead Rising 2, for those not familiar with this game i will include a wiki link in the links bar. This game was good but not worth the 60 bucks you're going to have to spend to it,  my rating for it is wait for a sale, here is my reasoning ...



     Now the first thing I have to write about has very little to do with the game itself but rather with windows LIVE which for those of you who don't know- you must have a live profile to save the game- and that right there is my first problem because this means that you must have access to the internet to be able to save the game. After that massive hassle, you're finally able to play the game with full features.  Next issue... to be able to properly move the camera you must have very good mouse skills as its a manual camera movement (this can be changed in the options menu). The next thing that you will really notice are the graphics which are not the best out there but they do get the job done. The largest problem I have with this game is that you can not change the controls at all. This means you are stuck with the standard WASD-E set up-- now for me personally this doesn't work well as it feels awkward and uncomfortable for my hand thus leading to many mistakes making the game harder and less fun. This game has two things going for it and they are storyline and that its really fun to kill zombies with random objects.

So that is what i thought of Dead Rising 2----  leave a comment telling me if you agree with me or why you disagree with me.
