the first lost planet game was ok . it was like a arcade game with lots and lots of giant aliens to shoot ...but was lacking in some things. now capcom says people where begging for the next one...really??? who??? i didnt know any one who wanted another lost planet game . thats not to say they made some improvements cause they have but they screwed the pooch on one major one. remember how the first one you where fighting lots and lots of giant aliens ... well now you are very rarely fighting them . you are plowing through tons of really bad AI human's . where are the waves of aliens hordeing around you like in the first one? thats what i felt was the best part of the game . it has 4 player co-op which i love in games and feels great in thoose giant boss fights but the rest of the game feels so ho hum fightin through lame human drones. the story was dull and i just started skipping it . alot of the missions are really short some only like 2-3 min long. over all the game is about 4-5 hours so it is very short. the wepon selection is pretty much the same from the first one they didn't add any thing new . the graphics do look great and the explosions do as well. the online didn't do any thing for me and is on its last legs now adays . i got this game on clearence for only $8 new so i dont feel ripped off but i feel bad for any one who payed more then $15 for this game .if your looking for a game to kill aliens in go play the first lost planet game or get earth defense force incect armagedon much better games then this.… Expand

F.E.A.R. 3

Average User Score: 7.6

User Score 7

the first 2 fear games are decent FPS game and the 3rd is the same . its improved in some ways and disappointing in others. for starters fear tries not only to be a FPS game but a horror game as well and failed at it in the first one and got better in the second and now its pretty much about as scary as the first one again. which is a shame because this game series has alot of potential to be a great horror FPS franchise but never does get it right. that not to ay FEAR 3 is a bad FPS game because it is fun and the addition of co-op play is great . the missions though very scripted are pretty fun and the game is a fair challange and enimy AI is pretty good. the slow-mo shooting is still fun to do and you can now level up which will unlock new things like a slide attack ,more ammo , more health , ect. . i wouldnt want to have paid $60 for this game and thankfully i didnt i manage to get it on sale on amazon for $18 new. id say any thing around $20 for this game is worth a purchase or atleast a rental.… Expand

Portal 2

Average User Score: 8.0

User Score 9

i loved the first portal and that says alot mainly because im not big into puzzle solving games but i had alot of fun with it when i picked up the orange box years ago. when portal 2 came out i heard many people complain it was to short to justify its $60 price tag and after being burned by valve on left for dead i waited to pick it up new for $24.99. which after playing through it any thing under $30 for this game is just about right . it is to short to justify a $60 price tag and even though it has co-op which is kinda neat this game doesnt really need it thats not to say it was tacked on in any sense. its pretty solid its just that i didnt feel a huge disire to play it . what this game should have had and would have justified a $60 price tag at its release would have been creat your own maps and share them with people like Little big planet. now that would have been awsome and ive heard they are working on that but its not due out till mid 2012 aover a year since the game came out... too long of a wait for some thing like that i think. moving on to the single player... its great the script and humor is fantastic and even better then the first for sure . many new additions to how you can solve puzzles . they are just hard enough to where you will have to some times sit for a few minuites and think on the real hard ones but never frustrating to where you wana just give up i felt which is just perfect. the game took me about 6-7 hours to complete so yes it isnt very long . though if you enjoy puzzle games or liked the first Portal it is worth picking up and by now you can get it cheap.… Expand

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2011

Average User Score: 5.5

User Score 5

being a sorta deer hunter (havent gone in 10 years) i still enjoy the games and one of my favorites was Deer Hunter 2 on the PC, very realistic . the cabela's hunting games have always been a mixed bag for me . this one just feels so ho hum and nothing like real hunting . you get a decent amount of guns and animals to hunt but you will just breeze through this game like nothing. it is basically 12 stages with 5-6 hunts per stage and each stage takes about 10-15 min to complete . so this game is by no means gona be a time suck unless you want to gold medal every hunt which i just about did my first run through .i picked the game up for about $17 new on sale and it feels like more of a $9.99 game after playing through it.… Expand

Split/Second

Average User Score: 8.3

User Score 6

i like racing games but im more in the Gran Turismo catagory of my style of racing games i like to play but i like arcadey ones like motor storm and love Daytona USA. i picked up split second cause it was used at my local pawn shop for $12 . the game is very simplistic with its only real key feature being you can activate theese special attacks that will knock the other cars out which is cool. unfortunitly the racing physics and just about every thing els eather kinda sucks or feels mdiocore . this isnt a bad game but probubly more in line for kids to play as it will be easy for them to get the hang of. i just like alot of depth or at the very least some challange and split second has neather.… Expand

Duke Nukem Forever

Average User Score: 4.5

User Score 5

i never played duke back in the 90s . even though i heard alot of great things about the game i just never got around to it. i did get a chance a few years ago when they released it to the XBL arcade and it was kinda fun. now wehave a new duke game and it feels pretty much the same with just updated graphics . when in today with so many FPS games out there doing some thing old just doesnt really cut it . the graphics look like they are some thing we would see on a release game for a new console they sure dont impress. i also feel like i am doing more platforming and puzzle solving then i am doing any killing . the gun selection is ok but you can carry only 2 guns at a time and to me if they where gona keep any thing from the old FPS games why not let u carry as many guns as you want. dukes sexest charm and all the one liners he steals from The Army of Darkness is still there and some people complained about that but honestly thats what gives the game its only real charm and seperates it from every thing els . i dont know what els you would expect from this game in that area.the game probubly would have felt great 7-9 years ago but in todays FPS market you got to be kinda new . over all not a highly recomended game unless you can get it cheap which you should be able to now adays . i got my copy for $15 new .… Expand

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Average User Score: 5.3

User Score 9

after almost 6 years we finally get the next elder scrolls game and after much hype does it live uo to what i had hoped it would be? for the most part yes the game looks amazing in the graphics department , there is a ungodly amount of stuff to do , the game now feels more of a challange unlike oblivion did , fighting dragons is awsome the charcter models look great unlike oblivions and the creat a charicter has been streamlined . the game has a new level up system which is simaler to the old elder scrolls games but is differnt and took it awhile to grow on me as you no longer have a set of prefered skills that level you up faster. the games story isnt bad but like most ES games it doesnt stand out as most people just get sucked into all the extra stuff there is to do. there has been alot of raging on the games frame rate slowing down to near unplayable levels and ive had a friend tell me the same others have as well. i my self have over 120 hours into the game did pretty much almost every thing there is to do and have only encountered that slow down a few times and only lasted 1-2 minuites and went away so i cant complain about it personally.. but i can understand people raging against this game over it if they have gotten it alot. other then that one of my gripes is you still can not fly... well why the hell not? i miss that from morrowind. also the load times are abit long and i would think with the install to the ps3 you could speed that up alot more. over all i loved skyrim i put a 120 hours into it and had alot of fun and the game had me hooked from the first hour to the last.… Expand

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Average User Score: 8.2

User Score 9

one of the better RPG's ive played in awhile . a solid story and it plays abit like metal Gear Solid except in first person view . the game rewards you for being stealthy but if you want to just go in guns a blazin you can do that too. so you can play the game how you want too. there is also some really well done side quest that are actaully pretty long. there is also a good amount of guns to use . upgrading your character is very deep and you can unlock all kinds of cool stuff like invisability , punch through weak walls , and all kinds of other stuff. the game has a decent length to it to finish it . around 20-30 hours depending on if you take on alot of side quests or not or if you just blaze through shooting every thing. the game also has 4 differnt endings so there is replay value. the visauls are alittle mixed . the back ground graphics look pretty good and some of the charicter models look ok but alot of them just look bland . if you want a fun stealth based RPG then deus EX is surely worth getting.… Expand

Battlefield 3

Average User Score: 7.5

User Score 8

BF3 had some massive hype on it mainly due to the new Frostbite engine being used. unfortunitly all thoose amazing screen shots and video's we saw of BF3 where not for the consoles but the PC version. thats not to say the game doesnt look damn good cause it sure does. graphics in the game look fantastic every thing is very detailed . the sounds in the game are also very well done and help give the feeling of more realism. well lets get on with the story mode . the last 2 BF games had a decent story mode you and your team all had some personality and the story was so so i thought . just enough there to barely hold your intrest. BF3 has taken a major down turn in this area . the story mode pretty much just sucks . you pretty much just live through flash backs of the main character as he tells his story to two guys .the story mode almost feels like its trying to be more like COD MW ... dull , boring and void of fun . the bright spot is the online mode . if you liked BF1 and 2 online you will have no problem getting into BF3 . its a very team based . the maps are huge and look great and are alot of fun . people like to complain this is such a massive Camping game . well its focus is on realism , sorry to disappoint you but the military soldiers dont run out all over the place and shoot like a bunch of morons . if you want to run around like a chicken with your head cut off shooting every thing that moves go play COD. down sides of the online would be that when you first start the game you feel way under powered compared to higher level players . which feels like BS and probubly wouldnt be a major issue if you didnt level up so damn slow. over all though the online is alot of fun .… Expand
