GREAT!!!
I LUV THIS GAME! IT'S SOOOOO FUN! However, the action is CRAP! I hate it when RPG's try to merge itself with action it creates this giant ball of repetitive, difficult CRAP! However, again, the conversations and RPG elements of this game are incredible! And, if you ask me, wayyyyy better than Mass Effect's! I just finished my first playthrough, and am considering another one. I highly recommend Freelancer with Commando Specialization. Oh, and don't be agggresive to EVERYbody. Hello, love interests! One more thing, It's wayyyyyyyy too short. I feel how I did, when I finished Heavy Rain. What? No, It can't be over! No, Please! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUY THIS GAME NOW!

Don't spend to much!!!
I Have played and loved halo 3's campaign/multi player. So It's no surprise as soon as the next game came out I had to pay 30 to 40$ just to get it. I spent 7 to 8 hours on the campaign and I was not impressed what so ever. The multi player has experienced little to no change which had really upseted me.
As soon as I finished the story and batted around on the multi player I sold it instantly.
My main message here is telling you to rent,buy it from a friend, or to not get at all. Just don't pay full price, you might just be disappointed.

Where to start?
I have to say I was really impressed with Gears Of War 2. I can't say that I'm a gears of war fan but I found this game extremely fun. It has easy to adapt to controls and its one of the greatest 3rd person shooters I've ever played. It gets only 4 stars from me however, it has a blockbuster campaign but a lackluster multi player experience. I always find myself waiting 5 minutes to get paired up with enough to play a simple death match.
If you want a good story that will last you 4 to 6 hours to beat then don't think about it get the game!

its art, its brutal, its halarious and its completely unique. Yes, im talking about no more heros 2.
Suda 51 you sly genious. When i first bought no more heroes (the first one) i remember thinking to myself "i hope this brings somthing new to the board", and so it did. Ovcoarse every game has its flaws, maybe the gameplay was repetetive, and the audio pretty annoying, but no more heroes instantly became a favorite of mine. And the rumor bug came along and started to polinate gaming magazines with its info about no more heroes 2, i remember thinking to myself "please dont flop". But im proud to say that no more heroes 2, is easily one of the best wii games i have ever played. Not only does it live up to excpectations, but it passes those excpectations by a mile. I think my biggest pet peave with the first game is that the gameplay was way to repetetive in terms of "im going to walk into this room, im going to kill about 40 guys" rinse lather repeat. And i think suda realized that when he finished with the first game. And the end result of no more heroes 2 gameplay is fenominal. The shear variety of the game is amazing. You'll fight in a giant robot (reminisent of gundam), and i dont want to give away to much so i'll say youll be doing tons of crazy things like that. Also the mini games have been improved dramaticly. Instead of using the in game graphics, they changed job missions into addictive as hell retro mini games. I think that they really clash with the overall derection the game is set in (retro 8 bit gaming). Also the in game graphics have been improved quite a bit. Lighting effects are just plain amazing, and the shadowing system is much better, also, the game now uses the havok system. The bosses are also much improved (and more numerous). Along with the return of a few old bosses, the boss battles in no more heroes to are just as (or more i should say) epic then the first no more heroes. A great new feature that they added is the ability to weild two beam katanas at once. Also, you can change beam katanas in game via a beam katana menu. And you wont only be playing as travis this time, you'll also be able to play as shinobu and harry, both with there own distinct ability's (shinobu can jump and harry is very agile). The story is actually extremely engaging to the point where its like an "edge of the seat" thriller. All in all no more heroes two is a huge success of a sequal. Fans will not be dissapointed at all. If you were a fan of no more heroes stylish graphics and dark ridiculously halarious humor, than theres only more to love in no more heroes 2.

FFXIII Disappointment
When I first bought this game I was SO excited to finally have it in my grasp. I felt like "it" was finally here, "The Greatest Game To Ever Be Created!" That was the thought I had put in my head...boy, how wrong was I!
Not only was this game a disappointment for the Final Fantasy franchise but it was an even bigger disappointment to every Final Fantasy fan out there. With all the delays and push backs that it went through, I thought for sure this game was going to be incredible. The story never had the feel of a genuine Final Fantasy game and after just a few short hours I could see and feel that something was terribly wrong... it was like they took the Final Fantasy OUT of the Final Fantasy game. I didn't FEEL like I was playing a Final Fantasy.
I kept telling myself, "It's going to get better....it has to." After I beat the game, there were no more excuses. This was just a BAD GAME.
The only things that stood out were the amazing graphics and the innovative fighting could do without the latter of the two though) It didn't feel right and I hope that if they continue with this epic franchise, they put XIII up on the chalk board and do everything...EXACTLY OPPOSITE!

LittleBigPlanet PSP Review
*Modes*
In LittleBigPlanet, there are 3 main modes you can play: LittleBigPlanet (Single Player), My Pod (Your Creations), and Community Moon (Other peoples Creations). I know what most of you LittleBigPlanet PS3 players are saying right now, "This game just ruined the legacy and trilogy of LittleBigPlanet because they did not bring back what was in the previous LittleBigPlanets". Well I got news for you; I am one of those people who said that about the PSP version of LittleBigPlanet because I did play the previous ones on the PS3. But, when I was playing the game and making maps throughout the game, I regret saying that. This game does not disappoint the previous LittleBigPlanets. Once you start playing this game, you will think you are playing your PS3.
*LittleBigPlanet (Story Mode)*
One of the modes out of the 3 that are available is "LittleBigPlanet", or for those who work at McDonalds, Single Player (no offence). The single player mode in LBP is very fun and addicting. If you ever played the game locoroco, this is basically the same idea, but so much more fun. People who have played the old LBP's have said "Why doesn't this game have coop or multiplayer, I'm not buying it". That indeed is a major problem they have took out, but once you play LBP, it will feel like you're playing the exact same maps as in the old LBP's story mode. What I mean by this is that the design of the story missions and structures will make you feel like you're playing your PS3 because they are amazing! Also, throughout the campaign, you will encounter keys. These keys are hard to get, but once achieved, you will unlock mini games that are pretty fun. And the best thing about this game is the fact that a man called Stephen Fry is the narrator who talks in the tutorials for people who haven't played the previous LBP's before, and everyone who has this game agrees that his voice is like being in heaven. Anyways, this game does not disappoint, in single player, its other predecessors.
*My Pod (Map Editor Mode)*
The second mode in LBP is My Pod. If you have played the previous LittleBigPlanets, then you are familiar with this mode and are very use to how to make maps. But for those who haven't played the previous LBP's, and then this mode will be a little hard to learn, but no need to fear, Stephen Fry is here! He (as I said before), will assist you on all the tools on how to make a map, with hundreds of tutorials that will help you A LOT on making a good map for others to download and play.
*Community Moon (Place to download and play other peoples maps)*
The last mode out of the three playable modes is Community Moon, or a place where you can download and play user created maps and levels. After you finish making a map in "My Pod", you can submit it here so people can download and try it out. This mode makes the game never end with funny and entertaining maps that other people make. And if you ever played the game Syphon Filter: Combat Ops, and try its map editor mode, it is very dull and stupid unless you make a hacked map. LBP's map editor is much more complex and fun to do and play, and when you submit it, you get rating on how your map is doing. You can download, share, and play maps through infrastructure networks or adhoc networks with friends. And whats cool is, they will have constant updates on this game with new stickers, maps, creations, charactors, everything!

Good game based off a classic
Pokemon soulsilver is desirving of a Seven out of ten
the newest instalment of pokemon is based off of the classic silver and gold versions from the gbc. Everybody pretty much gets the gist of pokemon; start off in small town- become a pokemon trainer with asperations to catch em all while becoming league champ- team (insert name here) tries to take over the pokemon world- foil there plans. Now dont get me wrong i love pokemon and dont mind the repetive story too much seeing that this is a remake but it becomes too boring after playing virtually every pokemon game. My only other beef is that it lacks in inovation. Nintendo is making a fortune re selling the same game in a different skin with little changes year after year.
Now its time to note the food things about this game. I enjoyed the world of johto very much. It has great graphics and the layout is just superior to any othe pokemon region. The new pokemon stadium is agreat addition. It allows you to use your pokemon to comete in suprisingly addictive minigames. Another food addition is the pokewalker. The little device that comes wth the game translates the steps you take into points to use to catch pokemon and items all the while leveling up your pokemon you decide to use. The gameplay remains the same were you stratigically use a pokemons various moves ro battle other pokemon. There is nothing to really improve on in the battle system providing fun fast rpg-like battles. But, by far the greatest treat in the game is thinking your queat is drawing to an end but getting to revisit the original kanto region.
Overall, this is a good game. For newcomers to the series i think its the best pokemon game out ther. But for weathered vets its just same-old same-old.
