honestly i dont know why im waisting my time on this game, i got it only because they didnt have dead rising, which was the game i WANTED to see, but sadly it got stole from rogers, and they cant keep track of their crap so,
the one thing that pissed me off SEVERLY is the character setup. they make this big fuss when you make the character your going to play with, neato graphics, this amaaaaazing animation of a robot being fused together, and then it lets you pick your gender, and im thinking GREAT! im gonna be able to custamize this guy wayyyy to the max, and hes going to look cool and everythings going to be happy, pick my gender, then i pick my color, then im done....---------------->>>>what?
done already? i didnt even get to name him!!!! i cant imagine what online would be like. 4 to 8 people on hundreds of servers, and theyre all either blakc or white, (because those are the COOL colors) and all named PLAYER. great. this game could have been done in flash, and that says it all, i give this game a 3/10!!!
3/10!

3/10!
a lot of stuff has turned up but lets start with gears of war.
6/10
sorry i had to. gears of war is the next halo, and you all should know how much i despise halo. you see what happens is people find somthing that works and they stick with, they dont think to change they just do it, most of the time without thinking and thats what gears of war is, they said "look at halo its making money, wed like to make some money to, oh i know lets make a game" "good idea george, lets make a game, but what kind of game should we make" "weeell halo's making money maybe we should make a game like halo!" "good idea goerge"
ya i know its a cheap shot, but it bugs me when people are looking to make a game for the sheer profit and not to be creative.
lets look at gear more indepthly shall we? "yes"
ok the controls, i can deal with in fact i like the controls, except for the fact that it doesnt seem to matter what kind of cover you have, your always taking hits, you use the y button for just about everything, and there is no jump key except on the full moon on the second tuesday of november when the sun had bloomed the iris flower that is in the soil of NATURUALLY fermented nutrients instead of the kind you get at dominion... you get my point.
also there is no health bar! i know its novil but jeeze! i cant really tell when im dead or dying most of the time. and if that werent enough! they add an unkillable boss (BAD IDEA) what kind of person comes up with idea that an unkillable big hunking boos, that kills you with one punch and runs at about 20 klks per second would be a good idea. im sorry, but it sucks, that is exactly what killed it for me with the game blasto. remember that game? anyone? that game was for the first PS and it was with this guy with an abnormally large chest going around shooting green aliens heads off. it was pretty good, until you came across tiny, who couldnt be killed and killed you instantly, it wasnt fun then and its not fun now.
also the envirnment get pretty borring, since there are no actual level structure, and its one loooong session you cant tell when its the next part, or area, partly because the area around you doesnt seem to change, you seen the trailer yet? with madworld in the background, great trailer but that little city street that the guy walks down is practically the entire game.
on the upside, it killed time, and it vagued entertaining, and you know what? the graphics were nice, so its not a bad little game, and hey the online could be good i havent tried it yet.

half-life 2: iris
an experimental mod done for half-life 2 by some students. for an experiment its pretty good, and i understand it was just an experiment and it wasnt meant to be taken seriously...yet.
well youl see in my video what i did and didnt like, i dint want to take too much time on this, i didnt want to look like i was terring it to shreds, believe me i think it has a lot of ptential, but there were things i tought could have some touching up on.
for people who want to try it get it here... http://www.cnet.com.au/downloads/0,239030384,10581379s,00.htm
for people interested in seeing what it looks like, and my full review go here...

snoopy versus the red baron
hey i know it sounds like a little kiddy game, but dont underestimate the power of snoopy and his sopwith camel. overall i thought this was a good little game. if your bored, and want to have fun for like half an hour before you have to do something important, this game is perfect for filling in the cracks of your day.
to speak about ina more detailed way though lets look at it more closely.
the thing i have to say i LOVED about this game was the force feedback. when your so used to no force feedback with game like battlefield, it is sooo refreshing to play a game like this. some weapons effect force-feedback such as the lighting bolt canon, and some dont of course, when your plane is damaged you get little jolts as though your going down at any moment, honestly, i didnt think much of this game either but when you play it with force-feedback you really start to like it more.
what i was kind of disspointed was the first thing you do in the game is lose snoopy's doghouse and trade it in for a real sopwith camel, i can see why they did it, but i still would have liked to play at least one level with his old red house. =*(
ah well. another thing i liked was the music. usually i turn off music in games because its pretty distracting and repetative, but the music in this game made it feel like a movie, like you were in one of those old world war I movies. i dont know. i liked the handeling of the plane although sometimes your plane dodges out of the camera and you cant see what your doing, this doesnt ditract much because it doesnt happen often and when it does, for a short time, but i thought id just mention it. i liked the little rambling snoopy shouts when you finish a mission and i even liked the little peanuts characters telling you what to do, at least they got voice acotrs for ... most of the characters, and the cinematics werent too annoying. they follow the peanuts way of thinking pretty good, and there isnt TOO much of woodstock to speak of, although you still get his cute little chirps from time to time, and he is a buyable character.
the weapons were cool although not too true to the old peanut stlye, and the envirornments were well done. id have to say this was a well done little game for what its worth, but id advise you buy it for the pc, since it has no harmful copyprotection and the forcefeedback triples the value of this game.
to buy it on the console is very wasteful.
also for people playing on the pc, dont use the keyboard if you have a joystick with forcefeedback, the forcefeedback actually affects the game if yor not holding on to your stick.
overall i give this game an 8/10
and if you want to see some footage that i took of the games highlights i woudl suggest following this link....
