Halo 3: ODST Review – Remember True Heroes
Master Chief is no more. Halo 3: ODST is the next title to release from Bungie Software that comes with a significantly impressive atmosphere that is unheralded of any Halo title seen to date. The challenges seem more consequential, the cooperative action more riveting, and the storyline more compelling. Even though Halo 3: ODST comes with its shares of contentions, the action will bring excitement into anyone that has been playing the Halo series the moment it was announced. Halo 3: ODST presents a canvas into the power of a prequel that leads into the storyline of a central iconic figure and the impact that such a story takes.
WET Review: A WET, Tearful and Forgetful Journey
A protagonist who can perform daring acrobatics with a heart-wrenching serenade of gun combat and sword mastery will make anyone not want to put the controller down. Rubi Malone, the lead character in Bethesda Softworks’ latest title – WET, is a girl that knows how to warp and twist an ideal into an ugly truth that is severely disappointing. Even though WET presents a canvas filled with potential of an action shooter, it is far overshadowed by the realities of a humor bent storyline gone awry, bland gameplay mechanics turned frustrating, and mediocre voice actors that are deafening. As the film reel on this ‘70s style influenced shooter continues to play, the monotonous nature of WET is revealed to be more than just a euphemism for blood on the hands but also disappointing tears of blood on the hands for anyone who finds the unremitting and bland sword with gun acrobatics gameplay and a not so enticing storyline a completely frustrating experience.
The Beatles: Rock Band Review: I Don’t Want To Hold Your Hand
The Beatles: Rock Band focuses on the influential British band The Beatles, the primary stars in Harmonix’s highly-loved rhythm-game Rock Band. The game has a pretty self-explanatory title: influential British band The Beatles stars in Harmonix’s popular rhythm-game franchise Rock Band. Rock Band: The Beatles offers rare exclusives such as behind-the-scenes pictures, videos, and audio to give players a taste of The Beatles. More importantly, the game gives players a chance to play the music and experience what it felt like to be a popular band. Unfortunately, a limited setlist, narrow gameplay, and a short length makes The Beatles something just to be heard in the car.
DiRT 2 Review: Lose Control
DiRT 2 is finally out for rallying fanatics that love the only series to ever carry the tradition of being one of the only rallying video games available. While DiRT 2 has been long awaited, part of it ends up on the loose side due to actual limited rallies and A.I. flawlessness. Regardless of these flaws, DiRT 2 remains exciting to anyone that enjoyed GRiD when it came out. Codemasters designed DiRT 2 to provide a lot of action and thrill to players of all skill levels, and still creates a memorable rally racing experience in the part of the new iteration.
