COD 4 is such an overrated game, the graphics are really good but the facial animations and explosions are outdated. The gameplay is fast and fluid. The multiplayer is still going strong and it is very fun, but the story mode is really boring, if it wasnt for the multiplayer and the gameplay being fun this game would have been a 5. Overall Score= 60/100

Beyond: Two Souls is a very unique game, the graphics and facial design are quite impressive. The gameplay really puts you in the game and what is annoying at first becomes really fun. This game really focuses on story and gameplay instead of multiplayer and all the social crap that other games use. Ellen Page, Willem Dafoe and the rest of the voice actors where great at delivering outstanding performances, some of my favorite characters where Jodie, Stan, Tuesday(Elisa), Ryan, Nathan, Walter, Jimmy, Cole, an obviously Aiden. Beyond: Two Souls has a really immersive world and was fun to get the platinum after four playthroughs. Overall Score= 83/100

Battlefield 4 is a much better game than BF3. The graphics are great and the character models look amazingly realistic. The multiplayer is also better than BF3, with the addition of levolution. I think the best part about this game is the single player campaign, their are some sad and touching moments during he story. BF4 has a great and memorable cast of characters like Recker, Irish, Hannah, and Pac. Theirs a lot of things to do after you finish the campaign, you could complete it at a higher difficulty, you can collect all the guns/collectibles and complete all the assignments. This is a solid shooter, with an underrated campaign, and also this games graphics/story/gameplay are way better than COD: Ghosts. Overall Score= 78/100

Binary Domain is a very unique game with an interesting premise. The gameplay isint anything special, its a third person shooter with some rpg elements like choosing who will be on your squad or what you want to tell your teammates to do. The graphics are solid, the cutscenes look great. Their is some re-playability to this game like leveling up your weapons and the muliplayer, but by now theirs hardly anyone online. Binary Domain has a decent story mode that can get cheesy at times but it manages to pull through. Hopefully Sega makes a sequel to this game, i really want to see where the Dan and Faye relationship goes. Overall Score= 75/100

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a really fun game and a fresh take on the wild west. The story starts out kinda boring but gets way better, it also has a really good ending. The graphics are amazing, the shading looks great. The gameplay is phenomenal, one of the funnest games of the year. I got this game with a Playstation Plus discount, originally it is $14.99 but on sale it was $3.75, quite a steel. If you have Playstation Plus than go buy this game right now. Hopefully this game comes to retail. Overall Score= 80/100

Call of Duty: Ghosts was a huge disappointment. The multiplayer is the same with a few tweaks, the Squads mode is fun but it gets boring after a while. The campaign is okay, their are some good parts like when you play as the dog Ryley and the ending is great, but the rest of the game feels rushed and boring. The Extinction mode really surprised me, it is the best thing about this game, in my opinion it is better than the zombies mode in the Treyarch games. The thing that really bothered me about this game is that the graphics dont even look improved, even Black Ops 2 looks better than this game, it looks the same as Modern Warfare 3 and that game came out in 2011. I wouldint recommend buying this game at full price, but if you do buy it on the Playstation 4 or Xbox One. Overall Score 68/100

This DLC is really good, its awesome playing as Jetstream Sam. The graphics and gameplay are great, especially with Sams red sword, you also fight the govenor at the end. Since its free everyone should download it. Overall Score= 78/100

This DLC is about 40 minutes to an hour long. It is so much fun playing as Blade Wolf, the combat and graphics are amazing. The boss fight at the end is almost as phenominal as the original games last boss battle. This DLC is great and adds a little more to the story, plus both dlcs for Rising are free now so go and dowload them. Overall Score= 85/100

Metal Gear Rising is a refreshing entry into the Metal Gear franchise. MGR has some of the best graphics ive seen on a Playstation 3 to date. The combat is addicting, fast and fluid and is the best thing about this game. The beginning of the game is really good, during the middle the action does slow down at times and the story can sometimes seem crazy, but this wouldn't be a Metal Gear game without a little craziness. The ending is quite amazing, and the last boss battle is one of the best boss battles ive ever played in any game. I cant wait until Platinum Games make a sequel for this great entry into the Metal Gear franchise. Overall Score= 83/100

Red Faction: Guerilla is a really fun game, the gameplay is the best thing about this game, oh how joyful it was to destroy every building in sight. The driving missions and side missions where quite fun. The shooting mechanics where okay, but using the hammer is way more effective and fun. The Story Mode is decent, but their is one horrible dealbreaker about this game, in this game you unlock story missions by completing side missions, well unfortunately when time comes to unlock the last story mission it turns out that i had to complete every side mission in the game to unlock the last story mission, so i never finished the game. Overall this is a really fun game that forces side missions on you. Overall Score= 78/100

King Kong is one of the best licensed videogames out their. The graphics are some of the best on the Xbox Console. The gameplay is actually pretty good, this games enemy A.I actually makes you think before you act, because one mistake could mean death. The T-Rex battles are awesome, playing as kong is a lot of fun. The story is pretty much the same as the movie, but this game adds a lot of more missions and scenes that are not in the movie which is great. I love the King Kong movie its one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time, and i also love this amazing licensed videogame.

I Am Alive is a very interesting survival game. The story is decent, but the story is not what makes this game good its actually the gameplay that kept me playing. The other thing that was awesome about this game was that if you ran out of bullets or supplies you would have to find more if not it could mean death. I Am Alive gave me a certain feeling that a game has not made me experience in years and that is surviving and feeling like i could die even if i made a small mistake, and that is why this game kept me hooked until the end.

This is the first Hitman game that i have played and to be honest i was really impressed by Hitman: Absolution. The shooting mechanics and combat are great, the graphics/art style is really good. The story is really good, the voice acting is outstanding along with the amaing looking cutscenes. This is truly a sleeper hit for the year 2012 and i cant wait to see a sequel. Hitman: Absolution is what the Batman Arkham series should have been.

Let me start off by saying i have never played War for Cybertron, but i still managed to really like Fall of Cybertron. The first few chapters are decent at best, at first i was not intrigued at all, but after chapter four is when the game starts getting really good. In FoC you switch between the Autobots and Decepticons, sometimes in between missions which is awesome. FoC has a really great ending and is one of the funnest games ive played this year. I did not play the Escalation or Multiplayer modes. The graphics are solid, and their are some funny comments here and there. Some of my favorite characters in the game are Grimlock, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Slug, Metroplex, The Combaticons, and the Dino Robots. This is a great game by High Moon Studios and im actually going to buy War for Cybertron because of its sequel.

Metal Slug Anthology on the PSP is a perfect port from the PS2 version. Seven games all bundled in on one ultimate Metal Slug collection. The best part of this version is that you get to take it on the go and play it everywhere.

To be honest i was expecting a lot more from KoA: Reckoning, that being said i dont like RPGs at all, but this one seemed to hook me like no other rpg's have. I only played it for 12 hours, the game starts really good and gets boring the more you play it. KoA: Reckoning has the best gameplay for an rpg. I never finished the game so it might have gotten better later on, but as it stands this game is good and id recommend it to any rpg fan or newcomers to the genre.

Dark Void is a very underrated game. The shooting and flying mechanics are solid, the graphics are average. The story is really good during the first 65% of the game, the second half of the game is okay. I love Dark Void and i think more people should try it, you just might end up liking it.

Metal Slug X is one of the many PSOne classics, it is such an addicting and awesome game. The artstyle is arcady and some parts in the game are really funny. The shooting mechanics and side-scrolling action is better than its ever been. Metal Slug X is like a combination of Metal Slug One and Two, it combines boss fights and it makes the experience longer and better. Metal Slug X is truly a classic.

Metal Slug XX is a decent game, the gameplay is the same as The Metal Slug Anthology. The graphics are a little improved. The game feels too easy and its also to short. Their are 6 playable characters and 7 playable missions, but the design of the levels feels like they rushed them and in return they made an okay game, it could've been much better.

Dead Space: Extraction is a good addition to the Dead Space franchise. During the first four chapters the story lacks and is boring, but during chapter 5 the game gets more intriguing and fast paced and thats when this game really shines, plus Extraction has some badass boss battles. Extraction is not an ordinary Dead Space, it is an On-Rails-Shooter, which means the game walks for you, all you have to do is shoot. I played Dead Space: Extraction with the DualShock 3, the controls where a bit clunky and hard to learn at first but once you master the gameplay it becomes very fun shooting off the limbs from the Necromorphes. The graphics are better than the original Wii version and it has a full list of trophies even a platinum. The characters are really memorable, especially since Gabe Weller and Lexie are in Dead Space 2: Severed the DLC. This game keeps you on the edge of your seat until the games conclusion.

SunFlowers is a great and really addicting game. The colorful style of the game really pops out at you. The idea is to drop rays from the sun onto the clouds and then onto the flowers for them to be able to grow. Their are tons of collectibles, for the low price of $4.00 you cant go wrong with buying this game. In fact i would even pay $9.99 if i had to, thats how great this game is.

WWE 12 feels more like a step back than one forward. The grappling system is easy to learn but is frustrating at times, the gameplay overall feels a bit gimmicky. The graphics are solid, The multiplayer is okay. WWE Universe mode (2.0) is improved but gets boring after a **** Road to Wrestlemania seems complicated now, the villains story (Sheamus) is good but it takes control away from you. The outsider story (Triple H) is okay but once again it takes control away from you and makes you press an unbelievably amount of button prompts to end the match. The hero story (Jacob Cass) is quite good and gives you more control over how you win than the other two storylines. WWE 12 is a good wrestling game but it does have its many flaws.

Dead Space 2 is an amazing sequel. The graphics have improved, the sound design is great. The Necromorphes are as scary as ever. The gameplay has also improved, The Plasma Cutter, The Assault Rifle, and The Line Gun are all back as well as a few more weapons. The upgradable suits are now in different colors instead of just one. The added Multiplayer mode is really fun, Ellie is a great edition to the series. Isaac seems much more relatable this time around, but this game is not as scary as the first installment was. Overall this is an amazing sequel but the original is better.

For me Dead Space is one of the best survival horror games that ive played. The tension and darkness in this game is really nerve wrecking, it really has an atmospheric setting, playing the game makes you feel like your actually their. The character Isaac Clark goes through a lot of The sound design and necromorph's are amazing and will make you jump out of your seat. This game was really hard to get the platinum, but i had to get it because i love this game so much. I can honestly say its in my top 10 games of all time, and it has my 3rd place in best survival horror games, right behind Resident Evil 4 and The Last of Us.

Severed is a really good add-on but i just cant hope to think that this could have been Dead Space 3. The campaign is great, the graphics and gameplay are the same as the main game and the characters are interesting. Its just too bad that its only one hour long.

DMC is a great hack and slash game, the art style is amazing and it kind of has a dubstep feel to it. The voice acting is great, the soundtrack is amazing, boss fights are really good. From having all those good things DMC also has its downfalls such as Ninja Theory changing Dantes and Vergils character models. DMC also focuses too much at talking and forcing you into Limbo. During some parts in the game it almost feels like Ninja theory is trying to disrespect the first four games, it just seems like Ninja theory dosint give a crap about the Devil May Cry fanbase. The reason i call the new Devil May Cry DMC is because this is not a Devil May Cry game to me, its just a great knockoff. Th ending is pretty unexpected, although i should've expected what Virgil does. I think Capcom is trying to disrespect Devil May Cry just like they did to Mega Man.

Their are many amazing first person shooters but unfortunately this is not one of them. Dont get me wrong this is not a bad game by any means. The campaign is okay and has some really interesting plot points. The gameplay is amazing and very realistic. The multiplayer is solid but not for me. To tell you the truth i would rather have a Bad Company 3 than a Battlefield 3. Hopefully Battlefield 4 restores my faith in the numbered sequels.

Sleeping Dogs is True Crime: Hong Kong, as you may know it was sold by Activision and Square Enix bought the property, boy was that a mistake by Activision. I loved True Crime: Streets of L.A but i thought that New York City was disappointing. Sleeping Dogs is definitely a great continuation of the series. The Story of Triad/Cop is really good, the combat is amazing and fun as hell. The shooting mechanics are okay, the racing and car control are great, its fun jumping from car to car. I take this game as a reboot to the True Crime series and i cant wait for a sequel.

Spec Ops: The Line is not just another shooter, it tells a deep story and puts you in situations that no human being should endure. The gameplay is some of the best ive ever seen in a 3rd-Person-Shooter. The multiplayer is solid, the graphics are good. This game was really good that i had to get the plantinum for it.

Many people will refer to this game as GTA on steroids. This game is loads of fun, the characters, settings, weapons, and amount of cheat codes are insane. The story is very cheesy but its meant to be. The shooting mechanics feel a little off, and the graphics are okay at best. This is a B- in my book.

Mirrors Edge has a really unique art style. The parkour in this game is really fun, jumping from rooftop to rooftop can really get your blood pumping. The story is kind of cliche, it dosint make sense why you do certain tasks. It combines a first person view with platforming and free-running. It is a really fun game, just dont expect an amazing story.

This is a good game but it could have been great. The shooting and the gameplay are solid, the story is good, with a few jump scares here and their. The graphics are clearly outdated, the slow-motion shooting is great but it seems like you have to depend on it too much, you can hardly hit the enemies without the slow-motion effect.

This game was my Game of the Year for 2012, and their is a reason why. The voice acting is incredible, especially with Dave Fannoy voicing Lee. The soundtrack is the second best soundtrack ive ever heard in my 16 years of gaming. The story is definitely in my top 10, it also has the best ending ive ever seen. The characters are relatable and their is huge character development in this game. This is truly a remarkable game, and will go down in history as one of the most ambitious and best games of all time.

This game is amazing, it was my game of the year in 2012 when it came out on PS3 and 360. This includes all five episodes of the award-winning first season, plus special episode, 400 days. The gameplay, story, and content is all the same. The only bad thing about this port is that sometimes the framerate drops. For the price of $24.99 it is a must own for anyone that owns a Vita.

This is a great collection for any Vita owner to have, it contains two great games remastered in HD and with trophie support. The only thing that **** is that MGS: Peace Walker is not included like it was on the PS3 and 360 versions of the game.

This game is not as bad as everyone says it is, the story mode does not make sence but it is fun. Hostiles mode is very fun but once you've played on all the maps it gets boring. The multiplayer is the best thing about this game. Its 4vs4 online with modes like team deathmatch, kill confirmed and two other modes, but once again it gets boring with only 5 maps, they should have atleast added another 4 maps with DLC.

When i played The Darkness i thought it was a descent game. Going into the second one i didint really know what to expect. The Darkness II has amazing voice acting and a killer soundtrack. The graphics in this game make you feel like your in a really violent comic book and its awesome. The Quad-Wielding in this game is addicting and satisfying, the upgrading system helps make your powers and weapons more powerful and make you feel like a total badass. The story is unique and one of the best out their, Jackie Estacado and Jenny are two of my favorite videogame characters of all time. This game also has a co-op campaign, its really good but it would have been better if it let you play two players through split screen but you can only play with people online. Ths is one hell of a sequel, and diserves a sequel of its own.

In Mafia II you are Vito Scaletta, this game takes place during the 1940s, Vito joins the mafia and along with his best friend Joe, they try to make a name for themselves in the big city. The gameplay is solid but the shooting can be a little clunky. The soundtrack is amazing and the envirenments as well. The story is one of the best stories you can find in an open world game. This game is really underrated and diserves a sequel.

If you can play this game with three other friends because if you play it alone it gets old pretty fast, the game-play gets repetitive really fast, their are some really interesting puzzles here an there but not many of them are. The cut-scenes are really good and so is the story but it is quickly undermined by its repetitive gameplay. This is a decent game that shows some potential, especially towards the end of the game, but potential does not make a good game, capitalizing on that potential does and this game does the opposite.

When this game was announced i was really exited, i had to wait 2 years to finally buy it. When i started the game i was ready for a 3rd Person Shooter/COD/fast paced type of game. It turned out to be the opposite, it is a Stealth/fast paced at times/ get cought and your as good as dead kind of game, and i actually liked the way it turned out to be like. It is a hybrid of two different genres, stealth and action.

Max Payne 3 is a really violent game, the visuals are quite impressive, bullet time is the best thing about this game. Th first half of this game is slow and cant seem to find good pacing for the story, but during the second half is when this game really shines. This is a well thought out shooter that could have been a little better.

Two of the most iconic PS2 games combined into one collection. Remastered in high definition with full trophie support how can it get better than that.

This is a great collection of games, two of the best PSP games remastered in high definition and both get trophies with a plantinum. This is the best way to play these two great games

Ascension has breathtaking visuals, the gameplay for the most part has remained the same but is not better than GOW IIIs gameplay. The story is really good and their is some character development throughout the game, this game has one of the best boss battles i have ever seen. Overall this is a solid entry for the franchise.

This game is a marvelous masterpiece, the graphics are the best ive ever seen. The gameplay is better than ever, the new combos and new weapons are awesome. Kratos just brutalises all of the gods, one by one they all fall. This is the most brutal, dark, action packed game youll find in the market and it is one of the best games of all time.

Ghost of Sparda takes place between God of War and God of War II, Kratos is filled with anger because the gods did not rid him of his haunting visions, Kratos finds out that his younger brother is still alive. Kratos embarks on a journey to save his brother. The gameplay is better than Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta is by far the best looking game on the PSP. They added a new tackling button which is awesome. The story is great, in my opinion this is the best game you can find on a portable device.

Chains of Olympus takes place before the original GOW, the gameplay is the same as the first GOW, the graphics are really good for a portable device and although the story is not as great as the other GOWs it is still pretty good.

God of War II is one hell **** its one of the best looking games on the PS2, its gameplay is a bit better than the first game. The story is awesome, this game takes place after Kratos becomes the god of war. Kratos goes on a journey for vengence. Everything about this game is great.

If theirs one word that describes God of War its Epic, the hack and slash gameplay is amazing. GOW has some of the best puzzles ive ever seen. The graphics where great for its time, this game has one of the best stories ever told. Kratos is a gods servant and must do what Ares tells him to do, but Ares takes it to far when he makes Kratos kill his own family, Kratos goes on an epic journey to kill the god of war Ares. If you love greek mythology or anything badass than this is the game for you.

Although this game has framerate problems, the graphics are really good. The story mode is also good and is quite realistic. The multiplayer is empty, no one plays that often. The gameplay feels fast and fluid and work quite well. Overall this is an underrated game and deserves more attention.
