Prototype 2
Now if your like me your a fan of the first Prototype. We all here at the O.R.G love it. So we were very excited to see the second one was coming up.
To begin this review you have to start with the pre-order bonus. The bonus was that you would get the Bio Bomb Butt Kicker. Seeing the commercials it looks sweet. But really its just a waste. Theres really no need for it. However, with the Radnet edition. Thats a great deal! 55 pieces of DLC for free?! I think so. They said that it was going to be only a select few of them for sale, but they didn't realize that Wal-mart doesn't sell that much games. So of course they would have more of the Radnet edition than Gamestop or Amazon. Also at Wal-mart you can get Prototype for free. The bad thing is a lot of the codes for it don't work.
As for the game it has its good points and its bad. The storyline seems to be like it would be great, but they fall flat in this. The story of James Heller losing his wife and daughter. They didn't carry this on. The story gets lost as you start killing everything and James throwing down more F-bombs than Joe Biden.
The gameplay is where this game shines. Tearing apart humans and monsters is very entertaining. How you evolve from the begnning to the end is shown well. Jumping higher and farther. It is great how you get your powers from consuming creatures or humans. The only bad thing would be that your strongest power will be placed as the X button. This can be very annonying cause in this game you can have two powers as your primary on the X and Y buttons. If you upgraded your Y power then sometimes it might switch it to X.
Over all this game shouldnt be passed up. Due to its lack of story it will fall short of a perfect score. The final verdict is...Rent/buy 4/5!

Batman: Arkham City
Let me start off by saying that this game is one of the best Batman games ever made.
You can tell already by the above statement that this game is better than Arkham Asylum. It goes much more than that. This is one of the best games ever. The people making the game have boosted up everything. Graphics are better. Gameplay is better (I didn't know it could get better!). The fighting has gotten better some how. They even took time to put in new animations when Batman fights. He doesn't use the same moves as he did in Arkham Asylum. This to me shows dedication to a game and to how Batman is the best hand to hand figher ever!
You will see in the first couple mintues of playing that you have your same tools as you did at the end of Arkham Asylum. That is sweet! It helps so much to have all of your gadets to begin with. Makes you feel more like Batman cause you are prepared this time for Joker and all of the vilians that await.
The fact that they have more than one vilian in this game made me super happy. When I found out that Penguin was one...I shit in my pants. Each zone of the city belongs to a vilian. The difference between them is good. It really shows how it goes with that vilian.
The combat system is amazing. You can use almost every gadet you have to deal damage or to drag someone to you. My favorite would be the Batclaw and the clothesline he does...makes me smile every time! The fact that you can know "fly" or glide around the whole city is amazing. I can't tell you how many times I dive bombed into eneimes below. Makes me laugh as I collide into them and I take them out. Everything just makes you feel like a bad-ass!
The Riddler challenges in this game are harder! They are also more fun! The Riddler is a main character know and it feels important to do his quests. They are also a lot of fun!
Over all Arkham City is perfect. I have yet to find anything wrong with it. It is harder. Better in every way possible. You would have to be insane to not get this game. The verdict (if you couldn't already tell) is...BUY IT!!!! 6/5

Dark Souls
A word to describe Dark Souls would be...HARD! If you played Demon's Souls then you know what I'm talking about. This game will kick your ass in more ways then one.
The game itself is amazing. The combat is great and realistic. The weapons do the damage you expect them to do. The main that makes this game so hard is cause you can die by everything! You can die by falling, by arrows, by poison, swords, fire, rats! I have yet to find something that couldn't kill me!
The game as you can tell is hard. But don't let that make you stop from buying it. Just be ready to die. As you know it is an RPG. The game does very well in this feild. Choosing what class you want to be is very important. From there you can choose what you want to level up and what weapons you want to use. With my nature I choose the Warrior class. But what I didn't know is that since the armour he wears is heavy I can't roll well :(. Rolling in the game is very important. So its best to choose a light class then bump up his strength defence.
There is little to no story in this game. Yes I know what your thinking. An RPG with no story?! That doesn't matter in this game though. With everything else in it you won't be focused on the game. You will be focused on the sweet ass levels and freaking awesom monsters that will kill you!
This game over all is bad ass. It will kick your ass so learn to be ok with dying. The final verdic is...BUY IT! 5/5

Rage
Rage is a first person shooter at heart. Yea sure there is RPG elements, but its mainly a shooter. If your looking for leveling up a character or having a moral system then go play Fallout. Rage is for the fans of shooters. You do go on missons and trust me, there are a lot of missions. You can find missons on job boards our by talking to people in the various towns. There is no shortage of things for you to do. Honestly even if you just do the main quest line it will be at least 8 hours of play.
There are a few weapons in the game, but once you use them you will see why there is no need for more. My personal favorite would have to be the Authority machine gun. Just love the scope and blasting people away with it. All of the weapons have a maxium load of 1000 bullets. Which if you use all of that in a sniper...lets just say choose a different weapon. The weapons are great. They are very balanced and you will find yourself switching which one you use. You won't be stuck just to one weapon.
The vehciles in this game really shine. The combat is pretty good. Although you will find that sometimes you think you did a good amount of damage but it turns out you barley did anything. Those times aren't always happening though which is good. The races in the game are pretty fun. Im not a race fan and yet I like it. It will take sometime to get use to the weapons races though.
Over all the game is great. This is what I have been waiting for in a first person shooter. Great enviroment and great gameplay. There are tons of easter eggs in the game. You will find them easily. Some of them are really hard though. Just keep your eyes open. The final verdict would be to...BUY IT! 5/5
