A gorgeous game that is all frosting with no cake! The games mesmerizing graphics hide a plethora of problems for a MMORPG, as Bungie claims this game is. Once you get past the gorgeous graphics, your left with a repetitive, boring, barebones game, that is nothing more then a MP shooter with a handful of maps. There are no pets in-game like other MMO's offer! There are no spaces to call your own and decorate. You don't even get to see the inside of your spaceship like in Mass Effect! There is no true free-roam like in Skyrim. There is no wildlife that attacks the good guys and the bad guys like in Farcry! There is no dynamic enemy spawning! Enemies literally spawn in the exact same spot, non-stop, as long as you are not standing directly under enemy spawn points! All you can do is grind for hours to get better armor, emblems, and weapons that are often worse then what you already have, and that is it! The only story options force you out of the game, and require you to go Bungie's website to get backstory, and that is not done in MMO's! All backstory should be done in game by NPC's! The NPC's are cardboard and boring! The game ends by saying there are more bad guys in the universe to beat! This game has much more to prove its moniker of a MMORPG! Maybe in 2-5 years this game will earn the title Bungie gave to it!

This is a great looking game with one huge glaring flaw, your AI team-mates! If only Dragon Age could have looked this good! Everything about this game is your typical quest, so I won't bore you with what works, and will only highlight what will make your crack your teeth and pull out your hair, your AI team-mates! The AI team-mates are absolutely horrible. 1. They run ahead yelling for you to follow constantly! Capcom hid items all around a level, behind walls, down cliffs, so they knew people would take time looking for items, yet your AI team-mates just won't shut up, telling you to come this way. I would use the help button to bring them back only to have them come, turn around and run ahead, shouting. 2. One area the AI team-mates instruct you to be quiet, all the while they are yelling "GOBLINS" 3. They don't wait at all! They will rush ahead killing everything before you even get a chance to see the enemy, affecting how you level up. 4. They will pick up items without telling you they got an item. The screen is so busy, good luck knowing what the AI picked up for you, without pausing the game. 5. Collision detection is HORRIBLE! Your AI will run through you, themselves, boulders, and enemies. I stood in the middle of a Belly of a Boss, while it spun around trying to figure out where I was, and all I had to do was stand in the middle of the Boss and Hack and Slash till it fell! 6. Sometimes when you do want to go exploring, your AI will jump around like a Mexican Hopping Beans. I walked down a cliff to look for treasure, and here came those irritating AI Pawns! Oh how I wanted them to just jump off the cliff and die! 7. Did I mention your AI team-mates are HORRIBLE! If there was only someway to play through the game by yourself or a "STAY" command like there was in Dragon Age. Sadly the AI Pawns, ie..Team Mates, take a gorgeous fun to play game, and turn it into back seat drivers constantly saying "Are we there **** we there **** we there **** we there yet??"

Extremely Boring Quick Time Event Game! Sadly as with Jurassic Park, all you get here is some Quick Time Events, that leave you wishing you really controlled your character. You also have to choose your responses in a timely manner before the timer runs out, as well as mash the button repeatedly to fight, and then to deliver a final blow, hit the right button just once! This is not L4D at all! You really have no control, other then predetermined walking, and picking some predetermined comments to characters. Players, these days, really do prefer to control their characters and have real options when in battle, sadly this is not the case with this game. It is a throw back to the 80's when we had point and click adventures, such as "Leisure Suit Larry". So you will find yourself clicking and watching, clicking and watching, and really nothing more. No Camera Control can lead you into blind spots. It also may appear you have a sandbox to play in, but sadly movement truly is really right to left or left to right. Artwork, comes off very comic book which is nice for this type of game, and the music is moody enough. Facial Animations can be a bit strange at time, and responses to questions don't always make sense, and leave you wondering what just happened. Also you may think you have a Sandbox, but you don't. Sadly this game could have been a nice tie in to the Comic, if it would have allowed for true openness as well as true control of your Character, but it does not. If you are in the mood for more of a Click the Comic Book kind of game then you may enjoy this, Sadly for the rest of us, the flaws and lack of true control make this a game to pass on, certainly at a price of $5.00 a chapter, or even the discounted price for a season pass is not enough! Pass

A game for last Gen that puts some of this Gen games to shame! A game that was just as great when I played in on Xbox, is still all I remember on the PS3! I highly recommend this game, if you enjoy platformers! There are some standard platforming issues that still plague it, such as camera issues that you tend to see in all platforming games, but should not keep you from buying this game and don't get in the way of the enjoyment of the game. The weapons are fun and quirky, using live critters as ammo. The graphics hold up very well on the PS3 and in fact make some of this Gen games look poor! If you didn't own a 360 or missed it when it came out, or just want to enjoy it again, then don't pass this one up. It is rare to find a PSN game worth its full price but this one is! This is a Don't Miss! 8/10

This game is for those who hated (like me) the whole "Timed" levels of the game! The first game was all about Rush, Rush, and more Rush. The New Sandbox mode gives you the opportunity to play the game in a whole new way! In Sandbox mode, you can take your time and eliminate every Zombie on every level. You will actually have time, to put together all those special weapons and find all the hidden secrets. You will also have time, to level up and do all those special Zombie Killing moves. You will also Enjoy using the Camera to take, Horror, Brutality, Drama, and yes even those Erotic Shots, to help you level your "PP" up! If you quit DR2 because you didn't enjoy the Timed Levels, but loved the whole Zombie concept and every thing else about DR2, or just want to be a Photo journalist who specializes in getting those great Zombie Shots, or just want to enjoy the Uranus Level , or Shop at the Erotic Shop, then this game is for you, and at a great price point!

Sadly, The Dragon Age Saga, continues to be downsized into tiny little bits that truly are not worth the amount of money paid. Simply put this DLC should be $5.00, it is nowhere worth the $10.00 price. Legacy will take someone, who even looks into every corner about 1.5 hours. There are Some new enemies, that don't really stand out and are forgettable. The end Boss Battle, is also quite forgettable. Adding this to the Dragon Age Cannon, made me just remember and long for what I hoped Dragon Age 2 would be, instead of a Stripped down version. If you didn't mind the rushed feel of the full game, then you may want to pick this up as a Deal of the Week, but it in no way is worth $10.00. Very Forgettable!

A great looking game that falls short with repetitive game play. For those nostalgic of Wing Commander, FreeSpace, and HomeWorld will find parts of this game enjoyable. The most outstanding part of this game is its gorgeous graphics. The storyline is forgettable, and the game play is fly to a sector, kill all bad guys, resource collect, fly back to base ship, upgrade weapons, then repeat. The story line is written word, and the words are so small on HD you need a magnifying glass to read them. The shallowness of this game and repetitive game play will keep most from liking this game for very long. If your a Wing Commander, FreeSpace or HomeWorld Fan, and have 800 extra MS points, then you may want to pick this game up.

Simply put, this was a game that bragged it would bring back SP to FPS games, and that it would blur the line between MP and FPS. Unfortunately it was all hype! The game is unplayable in SP mode, as some tasks the AI bots should perform, simply are not done. The MP game works great with friends. The Problem is that Splash Damage, didn't really promote this as a MP game, they promoted the "Lengthy, In-Depth Single Player, and how it would Blur the lines!" Well if In-Depth SP is 4 hours long and Blurs the line because you go blind from mad frustration, then they accomplished their goals. Simply put, buy this game for its multi-player component, and stay away from its single-player component.

This is a broken game, that repeats it environments over and over again. This is nothing more then an attempt to make money on the Ghostbuster Franchise. Forget about even trying to play by yourself, and just a few minutes into the game will leaving you wanting to pull out your hair. The collision detection is atrocious, the controls are broken, along with a myriad of other problems that plague this game. Do yourself a favor and send a message to the Developer and Publisher with your pocket book by voting NO, and not buying this game!

A very short chapter that really tells you nothing new, nothing that you didn't already know and expect in the upcoming ME 3 game. Sadly, this feels more like a quick cash-in then a true attempt to add something new to bridge the gap between ME 2 and ME 3. Sadly, Bioware was riding high on its DLC, but to make this the last one, is truly a disappointing way to treat its fans! Passing this up will in no way truly impact you in the story telling. Only, and I mean Only pick this up, if you are a Die-Hard Must have it all, Mass Effect Fan, all others may pass it up!

The Mars Table is another gorgeous, glaring, fireworks in your face pinball table that we all have come to expect from Zen. Unfortunately, that formula is getting a little long in the tooth. The movements of the Shuttle, Shuttles arm, Satellites, and such can be so distracting, at just the wrong moment where you are blocked from seeing the ball until it is way past your flippers. Also, $3.00 for just one table that really introduces us to nothing knew is a little steep in price. If your a Pinball Fan dying for a new table then this is a must, if your getting a little worn out on the flashy tables and bored with the same formula then you may want to pass this up, or pick it up when it goes on sale.

This is a clever Twist on the Bullet Hell Style game with some platforming and puzzles thrown in. Instead of flying a Ship through Bullets of different color and changing your Shields to match so the Bullets don't hurt, you are a person, who can change colors so you won't be hurt by the "bullets". For a XBLA game, it is a gorgeous game with the difficulty ramping up very quickly. The only real downfall is the fact that there is no super easy mode, so you can kick back and enjoy the ride instead of focusing on the difficulty. So if you find puzzle games that get difficult quick, then this game might not be for you. If you love puzzle, platforming, bullet hell, with a twist of gorgeous art thrown in, then this game is for you!

Fun, but unoriginal game. This is a L4D clone meets Diablo clone meets Alien Breed clone. There is nothing new here for players who have played any of the above games that I just mentioned. There are Boomer clones and locales are copied as well, such as an Amusement park with, surprise clowns! The game is gorgeous and well detailed, the only problem? No Zoom Feature. Forget about clicking to zoom in and out, there is no way to do that! The Camera is fixed, and a little too high. There are times you will find yourself wanting to zoom in. Basically a fun game for those who enjoy the Zombie Genre, but totally unoriginal in all aspects. The price is way too steep in the USA at the moment, at $14.99 with no demo offering as of the time of this writing. 6/10â
