Video Game Reviews

(Still the best FPS of 2010. most of the 2010 games were sh**.)

I disagree,

I repeat, most.
and toiy soldiers was beatsly.

@Madman , Some beastly piles of sh** won awards this year aswell not always games either. take a look at avatar. NEARLY 3 HOURS OF OVERSIZED PONYTAILED SMURFS KIGHTING EACHOTHER. they won loads of crap. so did 'the kings speech' WAT IS THIS CRAP, SOME DUDE TALKING ABOUT sh** FOR 2 HOURS. see where i'm comings from? its a very sketchy opinion, but it proves my point.

And ME2 is a decent game, i would just be dissapointed by it,.

Both of those films are opposite sides of extremes. Avatar is more about the visual experience. It sucked plot wise but it looked great. King's Speech is good for a different reason. It is a matter of opinion.

ME2 is not for mainstream shooter fans, but if you've played Dragon Age Origins or KotOR it will blow your balls off.

You're not doing it right- having an opinion is fine, but you've got to provide reasons and justification why.

Explain why it got approx. 82% from game critics then. Also, explain how you give it 0% when a TRIANGULAR WHITE TRIANGLE GOT 3%

megabump, I actually did a review for a reviewer contest a while back.  The proprietor's computer broke, so it'll be a long time before he judges my video.  If I win this contest I stand to gain some unsaleable fanart from his wife. 

If you've ever wanted to hear my lovely voice for approx 10 minutes straight, this is your chance.  The review may come across as quirky, that's because he made us follow his rules to the letter, which were:

-Review an RPG
-Say your favorite element of the game
-Talk about what would make a good sequel
-10 minute time limit
-No excessive cursing
-No text reviews or text-to-speech programs


And some silly rules, think of it as a scavenger hunt; can you find...
-An apple
-A line from either Shakespeare or Spinal Tap
-A subliminal ad for a made-up soft drink

Also I don't give the game a number score at the end, I thought I should alert you to that since that seems to be a trend here.  Enjoy, wish me luck in the contest:

That's a great review, covers all the main points, makes me wanna play it now!

How about Mother 3? That game is quite long, but underrated. I might do a review of that later, might.

Sorry for the useless post. xD

Ok, so the results of the reviewer contest are in.  Out of 21 reviewers, I took 4th place.  Would have loved first place, but the three guys that beat me were all full-time game reviewers, and I concede that their videos were more engaging than mine.  Even so, I did the best out of all 18 people who didn't show their face, I'll happily accept first place in the "didn't show face on camera" division.  I also got voted #1 by one of the eight judges (ballots were anonymous so I don't know which), that made me happy. 


All in all, I'm happy with this little venture, and will definitely be twisting the proprietor's arm until he agrees to a seventh review contest.  Not sure if I'll do more reviews just for fun, let me know if you'd watch that kind of thing on my channel.

[DigiWolfeh]

Well, nice try at least. I should probably do a review of something,considering IGN are biased.

*=GRAN TURISMO 5=*
Gran Turismo 5 is the BIGGEST of the Gran Turismos, and possibly the BIGGEST videogame ever made.

GRAPHICS=10/10-- It will only get better! Gran Turismo 5's graphics have been proven to be duller than Forza Motorsport 4's, but they SUPERIOR to most-other sim racers. Please just L@@k @ this:

*image courtesy of IGN.com*

SOUND=8/10-- The soundtrack consists of rock, alternate, and dance/electronic(YAY no pop music) for races. For menus is jazz, lounge and classical(You feel nostalagic listens to that.) The dance/eltronic music is actauly of electronica, basically techno'd jazz.

GAMEPLAY=10/10-- IT HAZ 1072 CARZ!1!1!1!1!11!!, but most of it is just Nissan Skylines. 5 tiers of carrer mode and 3 dealerships.

STORY=9/10= NO story and that's how racing games SHOULD be.

FINAL VERDICT= Superb game. If you have a PS3 and in to sim games, this is DEFINATE buy. Hard Bot's grade: A

Well, it's been a long time since I've done one of these. And, since I'm feeling nostalgic, I'm playing something from the 90's. So, bust out your Palm Pilots and get out your indoor sunglasses, 'cause we're gonna play...



Ah yes, Tomb Raider. The theme alone make me feel nostalgic. The sheer atmosphere created when playing this game is incomparable to any other franchise. The original 4, Plus Legend on the PS2, remain a solid benchmark in my childhood.

Graphics - 8/10 - this game's graphics were jaw-dropping when it came out in 1996. The areas are detailed and atmospheric, with the music (or sometimes lack of) simply adding to the game's style. There are a few places where the graphics can be a bit skew-whiff, but it's a very well built game.

Sound - 7/10 - The soundtrack for this game is something of admiration to me. From the Opening Song to the final battle, the soundtrack doesn't accompany your emotions, but rather accompanies the character's emotions, making a more solid bond with said character. There are places where the music feels out of place, and at that point is where the game falls short; but, when the music does fit, it leads for an either chilling or high-octane experience.

Gameplay - 4/10 - The gameplay in this game is where the game falls a bit short, for me at least. The controls are clunky and the hard to get accustomed to. But, I can't really hold any grudges; this game was made before Dualshock came out, so you can expect the clunkiness that usually comes with analog play. Like I said, the controls and finnicky, but after a few minutes of play, you adapt to them, and begin to learn the intricacies of the game not via tutorial, but via simple human discovery, much like how Lara Croft discovers the Scion. The gameplay and difficulty of this game can be punishing at times, and melodic at others; there is no set-out difficulty curve, and that can lead to some finnicky moments, plus with the controls... Ehh, I'm don't really like it.

Story - 10/10 - The story is amazing. It's no cardboard cut-out 'Hurr stop a villian' either. It has a deep, engaging storyline that has Lara Croft traveling around the world to stop an immortal Atlantean demon, named Natla, from taking over existence. Not just the world, but existence. The storyline has you going through countless goons of Natla, but with each one having their own distinct reasons, and each one being kind of connectable with. It's like the Hunger Games; when the hero kills somebody in the Hunger Games, you don't feel a sense of accomplishment, you feel a sense of sadness for the simple fact that he had to such a thing, and Tomb Raider had that 16 years prior. The storyline is perfect, and I can't think of any way to improve it.

FINAL SCORE:

Graphics: 8
Sound: 7
Gameplay: 4
Story: 10

OVERALL SCORE: 7/10 (A-)

Does this count? I've been reviewing games for about eight years now on my site.

Yeah, that counts. Actually, that's not a half bad review you've got there. That Portal 2 is so relateable.
