Horrible first person shooter.

This is one of the worse games I have ever played. I watched the video online and thought I would give it a shot since it was pretty cheap. The graphics are dull and cartoonish. The game at times makes a weird audio noise that it shouldn't. What makes the game so hard to get into is the fact that it is the same thing over and over. You pretty much fight the same 3 insects through the whole game. At the later levels they add armor to make them tougher to beat. The worse part about the game was spinning in a circle shooting the wasps in the air. I wish I could be refunded for the time I wasted playing this game.

One of the best games out there
on April 14, 2012
Posted by: Rahl
from Grand Rapids
This is by far one of the best games out right now. You can spend so much time doing random stuff. The graphics are great. The detail is extensive. There have been a few times during my game play that I had to stop and look around to enjoy the scenery. There is always something to do and you can easily get side tracked doing one thing and wind-up several hours into the game and not made an progress to your original objective. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys RPG's or any of the Bethesda games. The only down side I had with this game was that after a long term play it started to lag out and freeze. But I hear that has been fixed with the newer patch. Other than that its a huge time sink. Its hard to just get on for a few mins without mins turning to hours. I can guarantee you get your moneys worth via the time ratio. I spent more than 100 hours playing this game.
What's great about it: Almost everything
What's not so great: Time consuming

Great for the Kids

My kids like this game. Its not as great as Little Big Planet but its entertaining. Its great that its a 1 to 4 player so we can play it with the kids. The few things that do bother me is that you can not drop out in the middle of a game. When attacking you can damage your team mates.
What's great about it: game play, not too challenging
What's not so great: not enough character customization

SynopsisYou've received your assignment, hustled into a helicopter and skillfully maneuvered into the murky abyss of a mysterious land — with one deadly mission on your mind. You slip and sneak through dangerous territory. You spot an enemy in the distance and raise your rifle as you aim with precision. With a nearly silent pop, he drops lifelessly from view, as you press on, planting explosives to carve your way through secured fortresses, removing classified information and leaving only a trail of smoke in your wake. Welcome to a new kind of war. Tomorrow, the government will deny that your operation ever occurred. Your location will be obscured. Your alibi will be written. The war will be erased from history. But today, you bask in the glory of a perfect kill.Call of Duty: Black Ops is the latest installment in the Call of Duty franchise and the follow-up to last year's blockbuster Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The Cold War has ended — or at least, it appears that it has. You are one of the few to know the secrets of the deadly conflicts that persist and to complete the classified operations that quietly protect the nation. You are Black Ops. Descend into the explosive combat with all-new force and all-new technologies to destroy the enemy, including new Killstreaks like Napalm Strikes, a remote-controlled explosive device and controllable helicopters. A deadlier mission than ever requires the most intensive Combat Training yet — hone your tactics offline against A.I. bots in both Free-For-All and Team Deathmatch modes and earn COD Points to purchase equipment, attachments, perks and new customization options. Further test your nerves and weapon skills in point-gambling Wager Matches, and celebrate each epic kill in Theater Mode. You are being summoned — do you have the courage to answer a grave new Call of Duty?

Not as good as COD: MWF2
on November 16, 2010
Posted by: Rahl
from Grand Rapids
I was real disapointed in this game. I played MWF2 and loved it, great story line but this was not all that great. It seems like they were just in a hurry to rush out a new game so the COD followers will dish out more money. The graphics were poor and the game was real glitchy at times. The online play was fun and it had some good changes but other than that there was nothing else all that great.
What's great about it: Online play has a better set up with more options
What's not so great: Biggist problem is the graphics
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

One of the best films I have seen in a long time
on September 30, 2010
Posted by: Rahl
from Grand Rapids
This film was well directed and had several great actors in it. It’s one of those films that suck you into it right from the get go. It makes you feel for the main character and when things don’t go his way you feel for him and when things go good you get excited. The only bad part of this film was that it ended. I can’t wait for the sequel to come out. The interaction between actors was great. The story line was well put together. And it was not one of those perfect movies where everything works out in the end; instead it followed the real life of khan. I would recommend this film to anyone interested in a great film.

In the golden age of the 1950s, the American Dream seems closer for some than for others. Vito, the son of a poor Italian immigrant, longs to throw off the shackles of poverty that have held him down his entire life. Already well practiced in petty crime, he begins to aspire to a higher criminal art: organized crime. Lured by the wealth and power that come with Mob ties, Vito and his childhood friend Joe will find themselves spiraling ever deeper into the hold of the Mafia as they struggle to make their names in the streets of an unforgiving city — or die trying.Mafia II thrusts you into a world bullet-riddled with violence and intrigue. In this follow-up to the intense Mafia, the dark and unforgiving world of the Mob comes alive with gangster movie-style narrative power. Claw your way to the top of the criminal underworld as you engage in stunning car-to-car gunfights, white-knuckled hand-to-hand combat and intense gunplay. With a script from the writing team of the original Mafia and a soundtrack rich with music that evokes the game's 1950s setting, Mafia II immerses you fully in the Mob experience in all its brutality and inescapability.

Not as great as everyone says it is
on August 30, 2010
Posted by: Rahl
from Grand Rapids
I was told this game was going to be better than GTA4 and Saints Row 2. It was not. The game was just a huge rip off of all the mafia movies like Godfather and Goodfellas. Very little in the game was original. I beat the game in about 4 hours. Once I finished the game I could not continue to play my saved file. There is no freedom in the game, your stuck doing the main story line and thats it. There was almost no challenge in the game. I was not happy with this game at all, if your looking to buy it, just wait till they drop the price. I am sure that wont be to long.
What's great about it: Nothing really comes to mind
What's not so great: Stuck following story, no freedom

Not worth the money
on August 11, 2008
Posted by: Rahl
from Grand Rapids
This game was one of the best games I ever played... when if first came out. Now that this game came out I was not going to buy it, then after I read the back and it talked about all new content and the thought about traveling to space and beyond I bought it. There is nothing in this game that is new but the hall of fame and thats not worth the money to buy the game. Its the same thing over and over. Once you beat it its not real fun to play again since its all the same. After so many years the game ends itself, and if you win it one of the 4 ways then it ends and they dont let you continue to play like the older games. I wish I would have rented it before wasting my money.
What's great about it: nothing if you played any of the first ones
What's not so great: same thing as the first civilizations

Best MGS game ever

I was not to sure about buying this game. I liked the first one and the second one was not as fun. So I never bought the third one. After playing this game I fell in love with the story all over again and had so much fun beatting it several times just to try different things. If you like military games with a little twist then this game is for you.

What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past.

In a city that worships money and status, life is heaven for those who prosper and a living nightmare for those who don't. Developed by the superstar designers at Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto IV continues the exciting legacy of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
