Assassin's Creed 2 Review Ezio StabbyMcDoubleBladedJazzHands has just left the building. The Good: Occasional moments of brilliance/awesome, free roaming, graphics The Bad: Accuracy, the parts where you aren't killing someone, glitches Pre Review warning: This contains minor AC1...

Again, Gormourn, this was without the Mines of Moria expansion pack :P Yeah, Wardens can tank and RK's fix a DPS/Healing standpoint. However, if you're not going to get the MoM expansion pack, there are some class gaps. As for class balance, I agree that there are several classes who can do...

Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar Review "Protect the Halflings! And, while you're out, please kill 20 rats, 40 birds, 30 wolves, 16 bears, and get me a Partridge in a Pear Tree. Thanks!" The Good: Graphics, Story, Epic Quest. The Bad: Class diversity, Soloability, Other Quests...

Quite possibly one of the best ones. Also, I'll second that Steven Blum should get an Unskippable metal or some such. Also, if he could riff along with them in a scene, that would be exceptionally *awesome*.

With the NDA lifted, I can finally say what's been bugging me about the game: It's not the micro transactions, or the buying weapons for a limited time. It's the class system. Say you drop in with 2 Commandos, 4 Soldiers, and 1 Gunner. Sounds great! Until the enemy realizes that you've only...

Because it bears repeating: You're taking a five year old game and expecting it to stand toe to toe with modern day FPS's. HL2 was ground breaking in story telling, facial features, weapons, AI, physics engine, and distribution. Of course it feels same-y now; that's because everyone copied it's...

-edit2- Bullet For My Valenite, Tears Don't Fall. Woo hoo iTunes. Poor old Johnny Ray Sounded sad upon the radio But he moved a million hearts in mono

Nice review! A few paragraphs might of been squished together a bit so that each two to three sentences aren't there own paragraph, and, as always, pichars prz, but other than that, I saw how you go to your conclusion and your points were well made.

Maet: I had some trouble finding a match, but my internet was somewhat on the fritz at the time, so constantly being DC'd from WiFi probably wasn't helping a large amount. Also, the add/add sentence was one I tried to express another way, but ended up writing a paragraph of a sentence. I'll try...

I'm not talking in particular about the super armor suit, but rather about the attitude. And yeah, in the Conduit they stick your rear end into a suit of armor pretty quick. I will give you the fact that it's not as bulky as Gears of War and Halo's power armor, however, so if that's the...

The Conduit, Wanted (To a degree), Fear series. -edit- This: A super powered space marine a la Warhammer 40K is fine. The grunting one line quoting badass in a suit, however, is getting really, really, really, really, really, really, REALLY old.

Railway Rifle. "You mean I have to go collect specific ammo that can't be used anywhere else? Pfft. Eh, one sh OH MY GOD I JUST STUCK HIS HEAD TO A WALL!" It's my go to gun now. If we're not going with FPS's, Deadpool's MP7 attack from M:UA1. SMGs in a world of magic and brawlers? Get someone...

You Have To Burn The Rope. More seriously, I'll second Shift Heads. It's a pretty nice game.

Oh, it's 100% Halo with a Wii Mote. Over charging plasma weapons! Suicidal Little Grunts! A handful of grenade types! My Halo comment was in reference to the sales of Halo, and, consequently, the sales of the oXbox. It's not going to do that to the Wii.

The Conduit Review Four out of Five Generic Government Agents agree, Generic Alien Invasions is the best tooth whitening out there! The Good: Graphics, Multiplayer, Controls, Weapon Feel The Bad: Single Player, Plot, Gimmicks, Difficulty (The Difficulty Curve! AGAIN!), My Formulaic Reviews...
