G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra

By Tango Cash (Dothan, Alabama) - reviews

I'm suprised that there's only one review for this game. I know that movie-based games have a bad rep, but this one is actually pretty good, even better than Iron Man and Alien vs Predator Requiem. I grew up watching the cartoon and getting the game was a no-brainer, although I pased on the movie for personal reasons. GIJoe RotC is a fast paced shooter, with tons of unlockables. There's no slow-down, and the graphics are pretty cool. There were few instances of clipping, but that didn't hamper the gameplay at all. The only flaw to the game would be the camera. It's horrible and at times can be the cause of you dying (not being able to see whos shooting at you due to the camera angle). But since this game isn't the first to have that flaw and since it definitely won't be the last, don't hold that against the developers. If you're a fan, or just want a fun shooter that'll hold you over til SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 comes out in November, go ahead and pick this up. You'll be glad you did.

>>> PSP God of War Entertainment Pack - Red <<<

By Blu Ray Dad "Blu Ray Dad" - reviews

Picked this bundle up today, comes with 2 games, God of War Chains of Olympus and Syphon Filter combat ops, which is a downloadable game, and UMD of Superbad. The red color on the PSP looks slick, and Kratos is silkscreened on the back on the battery cover. Once I took it out of the box, I immediately put a plastic screen protector on, charged the battery, and off I went. I downloaded Syphon filter with the included code, to my PS3, then used the USB to put it on my PSP. I set up the PSP for remote play through the PS3 so I could watch my videos and listen to music on my PSP. Setup was really easy it took no time at all. The screen is alot clearer than the older PSP I have and is somewhat thinner and lighter. Playing God of War on a handheld I thought would be horrid, to my surprise it was actually very well done, one of the best games I have ever played on PSP. Watching the Superbad UMD, I was trying to figure out why it was included in this great bundle, I liked the movie, I personally think the movie 300 would of fit the whole theme better, for 199. + tax this is a great deal. This pack does not come with a memory stick so if you don't have one, you will need to buy one. The Jack and Daxter bundle has sold over 2 million, I believe this one will outsell that eventually. If you like God of War, and RED, get this.
