Ok here we go…

Polish. Is it always needed? You could hand in your homework with a straight face, gentlemanly, or you could hand it in on a dirt bike, popping a cap in your teachers ass with a muthaluvin Uzi as you do. The homework is still handed in. What I'm trying to say is that in some special, very rare cases, imperfection can be ignored, like when you're dropping a nuke on a shanty town, to kill one guy.
Folks, if you're gonna get this game, you need to be prepared to put aside your beliefs on texture pop, strong storylines, goldfish lip sync, so you can rekindle your love for RPG's, nuclear weapons, and black humour.
One thing you're gonna take note of whether I tell you to or not, is the graphics. While the have their moments of glory, close ups on faces in cut scenes, amazing looking explosions I mean seriously, especially with a dual shock 3 controller or 360 controller buzzing in your hand to every explosion, you are gonna love blowing stuff up. This game is fun, and that is it's selling point. You've got to hand it to Pandemic for never taking this game seriously, because the only thing worse than this game being buggy, would be this game being a serious affair.
Plot time "don't go near that man Jimmy, he has spoilers!"
You have the choice between three lead characters, an anarchistic Viking, a black guy who constantly smokes cigars, and this chick, I dunno. Anyway, all this choice changes are the cut scenes, and how fast you can move or regenerate health, well come to that later. The plot will essentially always go in the same direction, everyone wants to kill Solano, the villain, because all three get shot in the ass, and all three are pissed. The story couldn't have been anything other than a joke, which is what it is, and it isn't memorable, so just forget it.
Yes you regenerate health. Yes it does make it too easy, and that brings me to a fatal flaw, the game needs different difficulty settings. You can actually drop a carpet bomb on your own head and you will not die, because you cannot die from any one thing, it has to be an extreme combination of a tank, guys with RPG's, and an APC, to even begin to take down your chosen John Rambo; (that comparison was way too easy).
Its glitchy, it's ridiculous, it's beautiful, its too much fun, it's mercenaries.
There are oh, so many sequels in video games these days. We've got eight games that we wish would get a follow up.
I cant agree with a lot of games on this list. Far, far more deserving entries - which I wont go into now. All I will say is Blast Corps U...I can dream, cant I?
The Darkness games are among my favorite games of last gen. Both were very unique in their own ways. I'd love to see a third iteration though I doubt it'll happen.
Folklore 2 would be nice as well.
Folklore was great! Great mechanics and atmosphere. Shame it never got too much notice
Yeah. If I hadn't played the demo I would've probably missed out on it as well.
Well apart from Jak and Daxter the rest are total crap and I for 1 are glad there was no more of that crap, now if you want to talk about Heavenly sword and Medievil now thats 2 that should have another go at this gen
All publicity is good, right? Well, not always. Here's a look at a few of the best (and worst) publicity stunts for games.
With Leviathan: Warship's brilliant 'jazzy trailer' giving the game its 15 minutes of internet fame, Callum takes a look at other viral successes in gaming.
Commendable review. I agree with just about every point. I was leery of other reviews, but I loved the original and had to have this game. I am really not disappointed at all. Some missions can be frustrating, but I usually find a way around it.
'a black guy who constantly smokes cigars'
Does he ever! If you chose this guy, you might notice that he actually has the cigar in his mouth when he is under water!
Good review.I still may plan to buy this game however
