Battlefield 3

Average User Score: 7.5

User Score 10

I have been a fan of the Battlefield series since Battlefield 2 for then PC. I have been anticipating Battlefield 3 since I played Battlefield 2. Bad Company were great games, but I wanted to play a sequel to the orginal series. Battlefield 3 is a great game that should not be missed. The multiplayer is some of the best to ever exist on any video game. Battlefield has always been about teamwork and this game is no different. The maps are huge with so many ways to flank the enemy and so many weapons to choose from and customise. If you want real multiplayer this is the game for you. This game is truly amazing.… Expand

The ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection

Average User Score: 8.1

User Score 10

When the game Shadow of the Colossus came out I never bought the game, but I played the demo. By just playing the demo I was blown away by how amazing it was. I never bought the game though (I do not even know why myself). Right after shadow of the Colossus came out people were mentioning about the game ICO that was from the same developers of SotC. I never got around to playing the game ICO. Finally after 6 to 10 years both games have been released on the PS3 as a collection. So I made sure I went out and bought the games and I am not disappointed. ICO is a game about a boy with horn born in some village and appearently the village uses kids who are born with horn as sacrifices to keep the village safe. The boy is taken to a temple and put in a stone tomb. When the boy is trying to get out there is a little bit of shaking and the tomb comes loose releasing the boy. Soon after the boy finds a girl and tries to escape the temple with the girl. Playing ICO feels different than most games. The flow of the game is very slow and quite, which might turn of players that get bored easily. The relationship between the boy and girl is very heart warming and helps make the game engrossing. The soundtrack to the game is also a very strong point of the game intense at times and calm in others and also creepy when it needs to be. Shadow of the Colossus is the other game in the collection. The story to SotC is a young man's girlfriend is dead so he takes her into the forbidden land, which legend has it can bring people back to life. When the man gets to a temple and lays the body on the alter a spirit tells the man that he must kill 16 Colossi that roam the land in order to bring the woman back to life. The battles in SotC are intense, but also very fun. Using your sword on the game you will climb the colossi and find their weak spots. The colossi are huge some are almost the size of skyscrapers. When you enter a battle the music becomes intense. I love the music on this game, it has a feel to it that is rare in most soundtracks. When the player defeats a colossus, you actually start to feel sorry for the colossi. You do not know if the colossi are good or bad. Most do not even attack you on site. So you actually start to question the acts you are commiting. The colossi are the only creature on the game that you fight. So much of the time you are traveling to the next colossus. It takes a while and it is very quite, but the land is amazing to look at. It is truly art. I am a believer that video games can be art. If you thought about playing these game, but never bought them on their release now is the time to play them.… Expand

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Average User Score: 8.6

User Score 9

Battlefield Bad Company 2 has some of the best multiplayer of any game within the last generation. When firing a weapon on BF:BC2 the weapons feel like they have weight to them. Compared to CoD where the weapons have barely any recoil and and are to accurate for real weapons. Damage on BF:BC2 is also more realistic than most shooters on the market. When firing at an enemy it will only take a couple bullets to take them down, so you do not have the problem where you are shooting someone and all of a sudden they turn around and kill you with a shotgun blast. Another advantage that this game has over CoD is that there are tanks and and hum-Vs to drive. Maps on BF:BC2 are larger than any shooter out. BC2 also has destructible building and enviroments, which is helpful against campers. Camping is a huge issue in the CoD series, but BC2 discourages camping. For instance if an enemy is hide behind a window of a house and is not going anywhere else the player can just get into a safe area and fire a grenade launcher at the wall and it will destroy the wall and most likely that enemy behind it. BC2 is a great shooter for people who are tired of the arcadish feel of CoD and all the other copycats.… Expand
