Cheap Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Stand Alone Software

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 15:43:00 +0000

Brought this game to play with my kids. I liked this better because the song choices are more pop and more familiar with my kids. It has an option to import songs for Guitar Hero World Tour and Guitar Hero 5. Most songs are easier than the Guitar Hero which is a plus if you are a casual player of the game.Get more detail about Band Hero featuring Taylor Swift - Stand Alone Software.

Purchase F.E.A.R.

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 01:34:00 +0000

This was the 2nd game that I finished on my PS3--the first being Half Life 2 on the Orange Box. This is a great game for FPS fans and delivers plenty of scares and jumps. Like Half Life 2, you have to deal with a flashlight that only lasts about 20 seconds or so. Although this is gimicky, it adds an intensity to the game as you don't want to use the flashlight unless you absolutely have to as you don't want to find yourself getting attacked in the dark. They took this part out of F.E.A.R. 2 which I was grateful for at first and then kind of missed as a lot of the suspense gets taken out once the flashlight works all the time. Admittedly, the graphics of this game cannot be compared to the sequel. Not even in the same category but perfectly adequate when combined with great shooting mechanics. There are a variety of cool high tech guns(that nail gun is still one of my favorite guns all time and that sniping laser gun--WOW!!) Also the slow-mo function never gets old. Blasting through 5 guys in 6 seconds and watching them slowly fall to the ground as their limbs fly off just never gets old. The only real negative is the loading times and the fact you are fighting the same enemies through the entire game. If you die, you literally wait close to 30 to 40 seconds to respawn. YOu get to hate the waits so much that you will change the difficulty down to easy just so you don't get killed!! (BTW, every game should let you change the difficulty on the fly) Overall, for what this game is selling for right now, I can still recommend it highly. Also pick up the sequel as it fixes nearly every problem with this game and has a larger variety of enemies. Plus you get to drive Mech!! Nuff said.Get more detail about F.E.A.R..

The rooms you go through are very detailed and dark. There is a flashlight you can get that really helps a lot, I found it to be a lot of fun to play and challenging, I wasn't sure how it was going be since it was based on a movie but you will enjoy it.Get more detail about SAW.

Shop For Marvel vs. Capcom 2 [Online Game Code]

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 05:34:00 +0000

Just Purchased the game today. Took a while to download, but it was worth it. Its not the greatest game ever, but its a good way to pass the time on a boring day. Everyone's story outcome is the same, and the graphics are pretty good. A nice amount of characters (56), half I don't even know, but thats ok. Overall a good fighting game, but nothing special. 4/5.Get more detail about Marvel vs. Capcom 2 [Online Game Code].

PS3 Shadow Wireless Controller with Rumble

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 23:19:00 +0000

I saw this controller on amazon while searching for a controller that would satisfy my needs of a Xbox360 stick layout but for the PS3 because I changed to the PS3. : ) I have had this controller for about 2 months and I'm very happy with it. Some of the complaints people make is about the L1 and R1 triggers at the top, they say that there mashy felling and I could see why they would feel that but I think their better then the Sony controller because the buttons are bigger and you won't miss them. Another complaint is about the sticks, I have not experienced any lag or zero effects as people say but the pointed up motion on the left stick does seem like a sloppy position and sounds like it overlaps the controller to much, but it has not effected my gameplay at all. Overall this controller is awesome for the people that come from a crapbox (Xbox360) and switch to a PS3 and are looking for that xbox controller feel. Thanks and I hope this helps you choose this awesome controller!!! : ) 10/10Get more detail about PS3 Shadow Wireless Controller with Rumble.

Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII Review

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:19:00 +0000

I'm not going to say the game is bad; it is good. A lot of work went into this game. I like the controls, graphics, etc. However, I just find myself going to one mission to the next (not without dieing many times, of course) with no feeling of accomplishment. Worth getting for a cheap price.Get more detail about Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of WWII.

Dark Void Top Quality

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 11:19:00 +0000

The flight aspect of the game is extremely cool! :D It takes some getting used to, and the initial awkwardness in taking off gets old quickly. (note to developers: there should be at least 3 different takeoff postures where the character becomes more proficient as the gamers become more adept fliers), I hope the full game version features this nuance. The "special maneuvers" were cool but limited in the demo, though I can't imagine there are more that 6 in the game...so that gets a big yawn for lack of imagination, as you've got at least 16 stick combinations on the ps3 controller!!

The hijacking was actually quite fun. . The button mashing is not confusing, just tedious. And the piloting of the vehicles is just like the jet pack, so it is very easy to pilot the various craft. The hijacking scenes were repetitive, but in the demo there is only one flying opponent vehicle (for survival it's easier to hijack opponents and eject than it is to chase them down exposed, as ONLY the enemy you're hijacking shoots at you during a hijack!).

The melee feature is rudimentary, and preferable to gunning targets when there is only one adversary remaining.
There is likely very little replay value, since the game is straightforward, and the controls will be patterned throughout the game. I'm looking forward to what more the full version offers in regard to flight and difficulty.

I logged a couple of hours on the demo version of the game before calling my local video store to ask about availability. The story is decent, but I'm not playing games to learn or be immersed in someone's contrived drama, I want to forget about my drama!Get more detail about Dark Void.

Karaoke Revolution: Presents American Idol Encore 2 with Microphone This instant

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 05:19:00 +0000

I like this game a lot. I purchased this because of the ones from ps2. The song selection isn't of my selection but i bought some from the ps site, making it even more fun to sing. I make everyone sing that comes over when we have a get together and even tho someone might not want to sing, they still enjoy it tho. Overall, it still doesn't beat the ones for ps2. I love this one too.Get more detail about Karaoke Revolution: Presents American Idol Encore 2 with Microphone.

Afro Samurai Immediately

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 23:19:00 +0000

What an odd game this is, first the cons:
It is a button masher no doubt about it
Regular enemies get repetitive fast and they are little more than zombies
There's lags everywhere
Camera is just a paint in the rear
Platforming is just another pain
There is no HUD
Little replay value
You have no real incentive to learn combos o exp up
Bosses can be really cheap
There is no clear way to know where you have a check point
As far as I have seen you have infinite lives
Image clipping everywhere specially with hair

And still I feel this is such a great game I have been enjoying so much and I'll tell you why:
Awesome aesthetics and graphics, cool music, awesome animations, specially when you slice and opponent, $15, topless yakuza tattooed chics trying to kill you and voices by bad@$$ Samuel L. Jackson.

I have never enjoyed so much such a deeply flawed game. This is the ultimate case of style over substance, but I still love it.Get more detail about Afro Samurai.

Kung Fu Panda Best Quality

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:19:00 +0000

First, a disclaimer: I really, really love the movie. Have watched it about a dozen times in just a month and it is fantastic in blu-ray on my PS3. So naturally, I got the PS3 version of this game, rather than on Wii, which I also have. Despite having 2 gaming systems, I am not a great or hard-core gamer. The Kung Fu Panda game has 3 levels: student; master; and Dragon Warrior, which correspond to easy, intermediate and hard. I don't know, I'm still playing the first time through on student mode. Some of it on this mode is too easy--but not for children; but some of the battles take quick reflexes which are quite challenging for the not-so-young. I think this game would be good for all ages, especially if you liked the movie.

And speaking of the movie, the directors' commentary said that ideas they left out of the movie--backstory, adventures, characters--are developed in the game. For example, Po is unable to watch the Furious Five competing to be chosen as Dragon Warrior and has to take drastic means to get into the stadium. In the game, you not only get to see Tigress fight the enormous wooden monster, you get to play as her for that event. Throughout the game you get to temporarily play as the other members of the Five and even as Master Shifu. Really fun, imaginative, and not boring or repetitive as many "based on a movie" games often are.

I will update my review after/if I finish the game but at this point, I highly recommend.Get more detail about Kung Fu Panda.

Warhawk (No Headset) Decide Now

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:19:00 +0000

This game is alot of fun. I have had it since it came out and I'm writing my first review for it now 3 years later in 2010.

Its an online only game and you can grab it at such a bargain for a mere $20. Warhawk has a following only compared to SOCOM. Plenty of people play online still and theres no problem finding a game 3 years from its release. The graphics arent Uncharted 2 amazing but they look great.

The game play is awesome. Alot of variety. You can drive tanks, jeeps, and airplanes(Warhawks). Its fun grabbing some body on the battle field in your jeep and then plowing through the opponents base,mowing down enemies while you drive and your friend shooting the turret. Did I forget to mention JET PACKS?? Yes this game has jet packs. You can grab a jet pack, fly around maps while sniping, rocket launching, grenade throwing, machine gunning, or flame throwing enemies!!!

Now, this game is an online game so of course theres ranks to move up. All the guns are pick ups in the game, so theres no unlocking guns or different vehicles. You rise through the ranks by meeting requirements. Each rank has a certain amount of points you need to acquire and a specific medal to achieve. You earn points by defeating enemies, capturing flags, capturing bases, repairing vehicles, or what ever your objective is. You earn medals by accomplishing a specific achievement. For instance destroying 5 Warhawks while in a tank, or Capturing the flag 3 times in one Capture The Flag match. Theres about 20 ranks. You unlock new gear to customize your character and new paint jobs to customize your Warhawk when ranking up as well.

Theres plenty of game modes, and the max number of players on a map is 24. I do have some complaints. One major one is Friend inviting or grouping. You cant send game invites, or meet up with your friends in a group then go right into a game and be all together. The only way to do this is one person has to create a room, then your friends have to go to there buddy list and find your name, click on it, then join your game. Its a pain, especially when you have about 5 friends that want to play with you. Plus, if your friends follow you into a game some one else made it balances out the teams. So, if all your friends wound up on the other team you won't be able to switch teams unless the there team is down a man. ANOTHER, issue is the balancing of vehicles. You can blow up a Warhawk with one tank missile, yet you can fire a barrage of missiles at a tank and it wont explode. The game is titled Warhawk yet the weakest vehicle in the game is the Warhawk.

All, in all this game is extreme fun. I refuse to trade this game in 3 years down the line because I keep coming back to it for days at a time. A MUST OWN for a PS3 owner.Get more detail about Warhawk (No Headset).

Lowest Price Sonic the Hedgehog

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 05:19:00 +0000

I remember seeing this game at Gamestop for $20 so I thought I would give it a go. I am a huge fan of Sonic and it looked alot like Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 on Sega Genesis. The game looks great thats the only thing that can be said good about the game is that Sonic Team put alot of work into the graphics department. Everything else about the game is just terrible: the controls will leave you dying alot in this game and the camera is just horrible you'll have lots of death and have to position the camera with the right analog stick just to see where you are going. Its a terrible game and should of been better if Sega didn't rush out of the door with this just in time for it come out on next gen systems. Not worth getting if you want a good Sonic game get Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection instead.Get more detail about Sonic the Hedgehog.

Low Price PlayStation 3 G-pak Console Organizer Case (Colors May Vary)

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 23:19:00 +0000

I bought the G-Pak Console Case soon after I made my Playstation 3 purchase. As a college student that flies often, carrying the original cardboard enclosure the system came with through airport security is a total pain. You would have to open the box, slide out the system in effect removing almost everything that was in the box. This must have been great for the initial unboxing of the system when you first received it. Not so for airport security screenings.

Once this baby came in the mail, I was so happy. Not only does this thing make airport security screenings easier, but travelling with my ps3 has never been easier. There is a pocket in front where you can stash all the cables and controllers with a snug fit. I was able to fit 2 dualshocks, my hdmi cord, ps3 headset and the power cable in their without worry that everything might be crushed. The Velcro for front pouch is pretty strong, so any worries of the contents falling out is very minute.

The system can be fastened with two Velcro straps that wrap around the ps3. I've seen people use a "backpack mount" where the straps are placed vertically around the system. However, being the paranoid travelling gamer that I am, I use a cross mount. This is where the straps are wrapped diagonally on the system. Then everything is fastened by zippers that are, from what I can tell, made from pretty durable material.

One caveat though is the attached game holder. Mine came with a slightly smaller holder and it does not meet the Velcro it is supposed to be attached to quite as well because of the length. This can be remedied by a legit cd case holder.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 G-pak Console Organizer Case (Colors May Vary).

Cheap WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009

The main thing about this game that is better are the controls. Anybody can grab the controller and perform suplexes or superstar finishers. WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010 is around the corner so I expect that game to be awesome as well. If you want to get this game for the lower price at this time I highly recommend. You will be amazed by the various match types, numerous superstar selection to choose from, the realistic graphics and great overall gameplay.Get more detail about WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009.

Buying Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 17:19:00 +0000

As a start, this was the first of the Harry Potter games that I have purchased. The free roaming game style was fun and easy to interact with. As a whole, the story mode of the game is short and relatively easy to progress through. The Dueling Club and Potions sections make the game longer and are fun to do. Overall, the game is not challenging but I did not purchase the game to be challenged. It was fun adn simple to play through. I would reccomend this game to any casual gamer that enjoys Harry Potter but not to a serious gamer looking for any type of challenge.Get more detail about Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

Buy Way of the Samurai 3

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 11:19:00 +0000

Way of the Samurai 3 sits on a shelf next to games like MGS4 and Uncharted 2, but won't for long. Some of us would love to see the sort of immense and passionate effort of MGS4 or Uncharted 2 put into a game with a samurai or ninja protagonist. Forums for Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed 2 often suggest this point, and the stealth in MGS4, Uncharted 2, and the Splinter Cell games makes me and others wish someone could manage something similar to reinvent Tenchu. I fondly recall the wicked swordplay in Bushido Blade 2, and look forward to an open-world game on modern systems that allowed such decisive consequence. Of course, GTA4 also shows us what radical possibilities exist for open-world environments on current-gen systems.

Reviews from trusted sites ignored, I jumped on a goldbox copy of Way of the Samurai 3, hoping that the samurai protagonist and the "sandbox" setting would be enough. Short, inane, ugly - Way of the Samurai 3 doesn't capitalize on either its popular protagonist or its popular setting. If you want a game that puts you in samurai shoes and that allows you to choose your development and reputation as a professional, you can craft it in your mind while playing other games, you can wait for a thoughtful and modern game that does just that, or buy this game that is a truly pathetic attempt.

Essentially a waste of money. I'm considering the pizzas and beer I missed in buying this mess.Get more detail about Way of the Samurai 3.

Purchase PS3 Turbo Fire Wireless Controller w/ Rumble

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 05:19:00 +0000

I have had this remote for a while now and I found it great for the price but if you are willing to spend more, don't get this. It is powered by two AA batteries which makes the battery life very short, seeing that you can't charge it with the usb cable.The good things are you can program it to any button by holding the turbo button until it lights up, then choosing the button(s) you want to have turbo( rapidly pressing the button by just holding it is what turbo is)the letting go of the button. You can use either the PS button or the turbo button to set the speeds from fast, medium, or slow. The bad thing is that on the fastest setting, its not the fastest but still good. There are more pricey controllers that go faster but as i said, for the price, its a great deal.One real annoyance is not the sound of the d pad as some people complained, but the shape of the controller. For all those FPS games people play like Mw2 or Battlefield the bottom of the controller or the handles, are very lumpy and make your fingers at an odd position to press the shoot button. My solution was setting the button setting on MW2 to default flipped in the "more..." section of the button setting. Hope it helped. If you have any questions email me @ Yokobird1225@gmail.com.

Pros: Easy to program for any button
Bluetooth
Cheap
Good turbo speed for price

Cons:
Bad controller shape
Turbo could be faster
Short battery life(two AA batteries)Get more detail about PS3 Turbo Fire Wireless Controller w/ Rumble.

Order Far Cry 2

noreply@blogger.com (Charles Russle) — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 23:19:00 +0000

I only bought this game because I had a discount coming, and boy, am I glad I did. It's such a change from the run-of-the-mill shooters, and in a good way. No monsters, no supernatural powers, no burned out cities or faraway planets. It's a good adventure with familiar weapons, vehicles, and a beautiful African landscape.

There's plenty to keep you busy in the game, or the option to roam freely in a very large sandbox and just enjoy the scenery. Take your choice of jeep, truck, car, dune buggy, boat, hang glider, or any other vehicle you find in the game.

I recommend this game to anyone who is tired of being trapped fighting monsters and watching helplessly as endless cut scenes play out a bad movie from a wannabe Hollywood director.Get more detail about Far Cry 2.
