Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (2010)
I don't care what they say... i like it.
With reading on both of these games on this site and others it really seems that your gonna like this series or your gonna hate it. but for me i love it. i am a pretty big star wars fan i love all the movies and enjoy most of the games (jedi academy and republic commandos being my all time favourites)but the force unleashed is my second fav 1and 2 and i got to say for this one is tones more better then the 1st every gripe i had in the first has been fixed and it was with game play. its so fun and easy to pick this up and just go for it and unlike the first were it was fun in the beginning and just got stupid later on for game play the 2nd has none of that. repetitive? yes but its the fun kind (for me anyway)But the number one thing that I'm sooooo happy for is that in this one the enemy's don't land a cheap shot on you knock you down and you get you and they just keep doing it over and over and over again. this one has none of that. do you get knocked down... duh but does it keep happening over and over no. My second fav thing that i loved and u may too is that lightsabers actually chop body parts off thats awesome. finally! and of course the graphics. the graphics are amazing for the c.g.i cut scenes to the in game cut scenes and in game graphics... WOW. but now for the bad as i have said the game is repetitive and yes i said i like it for others though this may be an issue its much like the first one in that way but there are better boss fights (minus the end boss fight) and the story. this is why for me its not a ten the story in this is kinda flat but does have a few good bumps in it but not like the first but i still found it enjoyable and the last thing is length I'm not usually one to complain about this but i finished this in 4 to 5 hours yeah i know pretty short. But thats why i would recommend borrowing this or renting first then make your choice to buy or not to buy (no pun intended) but i highly recommend that you give it a try if your a fan of this series.
Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009)
The Dark Knight Returns to what he truly is.
YES! batman is back thanks to nolan for the fantastic rebooted batman movies that got the god awful taste of Joel's so called batman movies that just make any real batman fan cringe yes I'm talking about batman forever and batman and robin (yuck) anyway not only is the dark knight getting justice on the big screen but even in the video games now as well (so far) Batman Arkham Asylum is the game that we fanboys or geeks or just the new comers wanted all this time... exploit who he is and all the other characters to what they really are there is no real holding back with in this game there is death at every turn there is the very dark Gothic world that the characters have been pulled away from and there's a goon to always scare or kick the crap out of. the game starts off with bats returning the joker to arkham in what he thought would just be an average night ha wrong with out a word of warning the joker is lose again and now its up to you to put him back behind bars. now this sounds like the average hero story and maybe for some it is but there is a lot more to the story then just that there's twists turns, the whole ten yards. (but i don't want to ruin it). the game play is the greatest I've ever played for any character in 3rd person and i played my share. the game play takes a couple of mechanics that we all have experienced and love. beat em up and stealth. heard it before? yeah well not quite like this just imagine lurking in the shadows from the ground or ceiling you pop on your detective mode (helps batman navigate through anything)see that the thug is terrified his heart is racing shooting into the corners hoping your not there then boom from above u grab him and now hes hanging from a gargoyle. there is so much in "predator mode" that u batman can do to install fear in your enemies. far as the beat em up goes it friggen works its so easy 1 to 2 buttons and u can easily take on 10 to 20 goons with a upgrade system as well you can gain new ability's to fight crime but to fight all u need to do is move your stick toward the goon hit the attack button and watch what you can do. the gadgets in the game. of course baterangs, the grapple, the car (only seen not played with :() remote batarangs, explosive gel,zip line, and more and these items can be upgraded as well. when you gane exp fighting thugs and discovering secretes and finding collectibles from the riddler. as i had said this game is great for new comers to batman with bios that u unlock while playing. the developers really showed love to this character and the gamer that will be playing this.there is just so much to explore to do to see that if u managed to sit and read all this then that you yes you must be interested in this game so get out there and buy it and experience all that Batman Arkham Aslyum has to offer you. you will not be disappointed.
Vanquish (2010)
wow
i have not played a game that has griped me like this in a very long time it will blow you away no lie but having been wowed by this there are some very small things that make it not a perfect score some reasons are that the speeches is a little flat at times the characters are not really developed and if your a person who needs length you wont really find it here but for the 4 to 6 hours of not being able to breath cause of the wild, really wild game play. i can go on forever with this but you need to at least rent it so put down call of duty and try something new.
9.5 out of 10
The Expendables (2010)
A guys movie. (and others)
OK first off i want to get this out of the way if you go into this movie expecting great plot acting drama and a brain tickler then im sorry but you have no idea who any of these guys are i mean come on this is a stallone movie for god sake but if you're a action junky such as myself and just love to be entertained then this is for you. This movie probley one of the best in your face action that I've seen in a long time,and being a stallone fan i got even more then i wanted out of this epic action fun ride. guns, explosions, car chase, one liners you know the 80 action movie feel and the best part almost all the greastest action heros are in this that was my selling point i don't think that there was one time that i got the least bit board at all it slows up a smidge in the middle that is just to give u a breathing brake before the "final" action bits happen and i have never seen a guy reload a hand gun that fast wow that was awesome but in all fareness if your wanting that feeling to be entertained then you need to pick this up even for a rent this is just a great fun ride bravo stallone you keep proving your and action legend.
