Review of Army of Two The 40th Day

Army of Two the 40th day is a game about two ex-army rangers Tyson Rios and Elliot Salem, who have now become private mercenaries for paramilitary corporation SSC…arrangement that came to a sudden and bloody end. Now Rios and Salem are working for themselves and business is better than ever.



The game is about there latest job where they a meant to meet up with another mercenary in Shanghai to infiltrate a building and plant some electronics and get out of there. But when you finish the job, an all out war brakes out in Shanghai. Rios and Salem must escape the city.



The best features about this game is CO-OP mode and the weapon customisation. In the CO-OP mode either player can make decisions which will have repercussions in the game and both immediate and long-term, but whoever choose first choose for the team.



In Weapon customisation mode you can upgrade your weapons to improve its stats and skinned to suit your style like urban camo or to cool pimped gold guns. It also lets you changed the meg size, different scopes and add additional attachments.



The game is only ok. It wouldn’t have wanting to play it over and over again, once you finish the game you will probably never play it again. Overall the game is filled with action and bloody violence but nothing new really for this type of game. The online mode isn’t the best. Overall I would it a 7 out of 10.

Review of Clive Barker's Jericho

Clive Barker’s Jericho is a game about Jericho squad and their mission to a lost city that mysteriously re-appears in the desert somewhere in the middle east. Jericho squad is a special forces unit that are trained in the conventional warfare but more importantly the arcane art ( aka wizardry ).



The game is not your traditional squad based shoot them up, which is refreshing for once. The game’s storyline is written by Clive barker the creator of Hellraiser and Candyman and has an interesting storyline and is filled with violence , bloody action and crammed with all manner of creatures to battle.



You first start out in the game his CPT. Devin Ross the leader of the squad. You lead the squad into a department of occult warfare facility were the lost city has re-appeared to find out whats going on. You quickly find out a evil organisation has open some interdimentional portal to try to unleash gods first creation who he banished to the abyss because he couldn’t destroy it.



Jericho is a great game, I found fault in the game, its will worth playing and I enjoyed every min of it. The mystical aspect of the game really set it apart from other games in the shoot them up genre and is easy to play without making the gamer feel bored. Over all I would give it a 8 out of 10.

Review of Fallout new Vegas

Fallout New Vegas is the next instalment the fallout series. Set in the Mojave desert and the new Vegas strip and is nothing like fallout 3. It has not a lot of action, is quite boring at times, loads of glitches and the loading time on the Ps3 is quite annoying and frustrating but once you look pass all these problem the game can be very playable.



The game has many new features like a new hardcore mode which you will have to eat, sleep and remain. Also ammunition is given weight in this mode. Another new feature of the game is that you are able to modify weapons such as adding scopes and additional bullets per clip. The hardcore mode is the big new thing about this game, it makes the game more realistic and more enjoyable.




Fallout new Vegas has a lot of new pointless features, such as gambling like blackjack, slot machines, roulette and caravan, a card game created for fallout which the time probably should have been spent on the plot of the game instead of crappy little mini game’s which really doesn’t make a difference to the over all game.



There is plenty of new factions in the game such as fiends, the New California Republic's and Caesar's Legion, the three new Vegas casinos families, And some old one such as Enclave and the Brotherhood of steal and other factions. The game is not great and just does have enough action for me and the long loading time just makes you not wanted to play it after a while .



Overall I would give it a 6 out 10

Review of Fallout 3

Fallout 3 is a RPG game set in the year 2277, in a post-apocalyptic world, two hundred years after a nuclear war. The game is set in the Capital Wasteland as it has come to be known for it nightmare landscape of roving gangs of Raider, Super Mutants, Feral Ghouls, Malfunctioning Robots and weird mutated animals. Fallout 3 comes from the creators of the award-winning game Oblivion.



Fallout 3 starts off with your characters birth and life in Vault 101 an underground facility, free from radiation and the hazards of the wasteland . Everything is fine until your father decides to leave the leave vault unexpectedly, forcing you to leave the safety of the vault to look for him in the wasteland or forget he even exists and destroy anything you feel like, its up to you, and steal and kill anyone you want.



Fallout 3 lets your character make the your own decisions to be good and bad in the game or neutral, the best of both worlds. Depending on your decision in the game to be good or bad the game will play out in different way so the game can be played a number of times with different endings.



Fallout 3 has an assortment of weapons and armour such as big guns, laser guns, melee weapons and armour like power armour, leather armour and combat armour which you can find, steal, pickpocket or buy in the game. Weapons and armour also can be repaired. This is important because armour of lower condition will offer less damage resistance and weapons of lower condition will do less damage and jam more frequently.



In the game you also can picklock and hack computers, steal pretty much anything you can see. This game will keep you playing for hours on end and is highly addictive. There is so much to do in this game, sometimes it seems vast and pointless, that’s its only flaw and that the map is so huge and end of the game is disappointing because once you finish the main storyline you cannot explore the wasteland anymore. This game is one of the best RPGs I have played all year.



I would give it a 9 out of 10
