The Medal of Honor series rebooted in 2010 and I really enjoyed the game giving it a high review score.  The direct sequel was released this October titled Medal of Honor: Warfighter.  Will it live up to it’s predecessor? Warfighter’s campaign mode picks up right after the original game as you continue to fight the terrorist’s to prevent them from using the PETN weapon.  You will travel to Bosnia, Somalia, Pakistan and the Philippines. The story features two soldiers as you jump back and forth between their tales.  Stump who is a Recon Marine turned Navy SEAL and Preacher who you will remember from the first game.  The game also features Dusty as he operates from a command center for most of the game. I really wanted to enjoy this game and even pre-ordered it however the campaign was a ... Read More »

One of my favorite video game genres is Real Time Strategy and these games are primarily available for PC’s. With me being a console gamer most of the time,  I don’t get to enjoy the RTS games like I want to.  I was searching around for a decent RTS console game and came across R.U.S.E.  The game received some decent reviews and recommendations and I decided to snag a copy off eBay. R.U.S.E. is set during WWII and features a wide variety of game modes.  Before I discuss the modes and story in detail,  I want to cover my favorite part about the game,  the zoom in/out battlefield.  Zoom all the way out and you see a table top map with blue and red markings for troops.  Zoom all the way in and you see actual soldiers, tanks, artillery,  buildings, ...

I’ve been a die hard Call of Duty fan for the last several years.  I’ve heard the rumblings that Battlefield was a superior game however I’ve always viewed it as more of a PC game.  In 2011,  Battlefield 3 was released shortly before the annual CoD game.  Many gamers decided that they had to have both,  while some chose one or the other.  Looking at sales,  I was in the majority and chose just one title and that was CoD. Fast forward to Spring of 2012,  Battlefield 3 was on sale and I decided to pull the trigger and see what the fuss is about.  The first thing I noticed was the stunning graphics.  Visually the game is top notch.  DICE did a great job getting the most out of the Frostbite 2 engine.  The lights and darks really stand ...

When Killzone 3 was announced,  Sony fan boys from around the world were ecstatic.  I was no different,  I placed my pre order right away,  went back and played some more KZ2 and watched the net for every piece of news and videos that came out. Finally in early 2011,  Killzone 3 was released on the Playstation 3.  The buzz around this “Halo Killer” was tremendous.  I purchased my copy at midnight and immediately started the Campaign. This First Person Shooter picks up right after the previous title as the Helghast and ISA are still at war.  The first mission has you playing as a Helghast guard as you walk through a weapons factory until you end up at the execution room.  You start to participate in the live execution of a captured ISA Captain until it’s revealed that you ...

I remember like it was yesterday,  it was 2005 at E3. One of the most fascinating video clips in modern gaming history was shown.  The graphics were the best I’ve seen.  The action was incredible.  It was being called the “Halo Killer” and a “System Seller”.  The game that was shown was Killzone 2. I didn’t know much about Killzone.  I knew it was a First Person Shooter and it was a Sony Exclusive and that was about it.  After seeing the epic footage of Killzone 2,  I decided 2 things.  Number 1,  I must get this game the day it comes out and number 2,  I must find some info on Killzone. The footage that was shown at the 2005 E3 received much hype.  Sony gamers were in awe.  Microsoft gamers were immediately saying that it wasn’t actual game ... Read More »

Medal of Honor is one of the most famous and successful video game franchises of all time.  When you think of MoH,  you think World War 2.  For the 13th edition in the long running series,  you experience for the first time a non WW2 setting.  Simply titled Medal of Honor,  this title is a reboot and takes place during the War in Afghanistan. MoH was released in October 2010 by Danger Close who are affiliated with Electronics Arts and DICE who are famous for Battlefield.  The title is the first in the series to feature a Mature rating.  I originally passed on the game as I was too focused on Call of Duty at the time.  After picking the title up for $20,  I was pleasantly surprised. The single player campaign mode takes place in 2002 in Afghanistan.  You ... Read More »
