Wait for price drop

Posted by: loper5ricemeal
from St.Louis, MO
This game is much more like a 3rd person shooter, being able to aim down your target. The game has some what of a level type layout instead of the free roam like the 2 previous hp games.
EXCITEMENT: FUN
CHALLENGE: EASY
GRAPHICS: NOT PERFECT BUT AVERAGE
LENGTH: MEDIUM (10-20 hours of gameplay if played on hard)
What's great about it: Magic, cutscenes, gameplay
What's not so great: it isn't open world

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?

Combo of COD 4 and COD 5 and Halo Reach
on January 2, 2011
Posted by: loper5ricemeal
from St.Louis, MO
ONLINE: the online gameplay is very fun, the maps range from large, medium, and small. The kill streaks are more fair than in Warfare 2.
CAMPAIGN: Great, Great, Great campaign! It like a movie that you control.
ZOMBIES: Only 2 real maps, one arcade style map, however much fun! Funny scripts for characters in it, such as Kennedy, Castro, and a few more.
OFFLINE: You dont need a gold membership to have fun, there are computer bots you can play against if you set it up in settings, very fun, especially if you arent very good online, boosts your confidence.
What's great about it: Offline, Online, Campaign, weapons, Zombies
What's not so great: difficulty

Great Plot, Dark Movie

Posted by: loper5ricemeal
from St.Louis, MO
Very good idea for a movie, however if you are not a vampire or sci-fi fan this is not a movie for you. NOT MUCH ACTION, more planning then doing going on, COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.
Buy this if you are looking for a movie that has things to do with vampires, drama, sci-fi, and darkness
What's great about it: The mood is very well done
What's not so great: the pace of the movie

Great Movie for the Family or Couple
on January 2, 2011
Posted by: loper5ricemeal
from St.Louis, MO
The plot for this movie was very simple, however so deep. The way Nolan made this movie blows my mind, it was very good, if you are a person that dreams big you will love this movie, it leaves you with ideas, this movie plants ideas inside your head doubting reality, it is great to watch on blu-ray with all the effects.
Must Purchase!
Best Buy is Awesome <3
What's great about it: Plot, experience, imagination
What's not so great: after affects of the movie:)

Another Great Fallout Game!
on January 2, 2011
Posted by: loper5ricemeal
from St.Louis, MO
The game is great for Fallout fans! The open world of Fallout New Vegas is great, except its more of a waste land than actual vegas which i think is a bummer, however the weapons are great the story is great, but like always the graphics are terrible.
This game is LONG, however it is not worth 60 hard earned dollars! UNLESS YOU ARE A FAN OF THE SERIES!
ALWAYS BUY AT BEST BUY, best service always, and anywhere
What's great about it: Length, weapons, free roaming, many side missions
What's not so great: graphics

Funny script, funny face expressions!

The plot is a bit different, however if you are just in it for the laughs then buy it, Will F. and Mark W. are great together, and the movie has great moments in it that make you laugh out loud!
If you have the intent of watching this with the family, beware of akward moments about adult themes....
What's great about it: the script is hilarious
What's not so great: adult themed jokes

Short but DELICIOUS!
on January 2, 2011
Posted by: loper5ricemeal
from St.Louis, MO
This game is about 9 levels so it's fairly short. However each level is pretty fun, being able to use the force is great! The "bosses" are quite difficult when playing on hard, take about an hour to 45minutes to beat the "bosses"
DO NOT PURCHASE TILL THE PRICE GOES DOWN NOT WORTH 60 dollars of hard earned money! BUY THIS TITLE WHEN ITS LIKE AROUND 30 dollars!
ACHIEVMENTS; are fairly simple to get, i got 44 of 58 in like 3 days
What's great about it: MIND CONTROL!, the different planets, star wars!
What's not so great: bit short, not too much challenge except for boss fights
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great break off from Assassin's Creed II!
on January 2, 2011
Posted by: loper5ricemeal
from St.Louis, MO
If you have played the 1st 2 assassin's creed games then this is a must to purchase! This game is a combination of both, with many new features,(crossbow, poison darts, and so on) It is set in Rome, in the 1500s or so. You won't regret the free roam/sandbox style gaming, hours of FUN!
Even if you have never played assassin's creed you should probably get the 1st 2 first, then buy this because you might get confused, however this game is great from people with a great imagination.
If i could live in a video game i'd choose this series! Trust me it is amazing!
What's great about it: Free roaming, historic buildings, choice of weapons, etc.
What's not so great: the price, even though it is worth it!:)
