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
