Review
Future Soldier does something what recent
versions of Call of Duty and Battlefield
have failed to do. It mixes the experience
of a war shooter with stealth thus creating
a great game. The futuristic gadgets and
weapons can be used to create absolute
carnage or do stealth with fun. Whether you
like to destroy everything in your way or
like to be more of a tactician, game will
suit both types of gamer. Graphics are
amazing though you won't get much time to
admire it.

Review
Pros
1. If you like challenge, this is what you
need. Your health won't replenish and there
is no magic pocket like in traditional
shooters where you can carry 8-10 weapons, 3
guns at max and if you want to go double
uzi/handgun then you need to drop your
machine gun. Play it at hard and you got
something really challenging (and fun). One
bad move and you will pay for the rest of
the mission. Rockstar has shown us that open
world is not only where they excel. Next
time RPG please?
2. Rockstar also knows how to use music in a
shooter, full marks.
3. Good length, not like ritual 6 hour
campaign these days.
Cons
1. Max is old now, his dodge abilities are
gone. Shootdodge is now simple slow-mo, this
is not what Max was like. Max Payne was to
bring pain to his enemies. Jump in the
middle of battle, shootdodge to left, right,
forward or backward and take out your
enemies. Instead now you remain in the cover
for most of the time, pain is on you now.
However there are some points where Max will
pull some move of his own and 6-8 enemies
will be ready for you to take out. If you
are going for old time's sake you will be
disappointed as lot has changed but at it's
own it's a very good game.

Review
V2 is a classic world war based game
where your objective is to use stealth and
skill to accomplish your objectives. The
game is a good and slightly different
experience but requires your patience and
thus becomes boring a lot of times, though
you can go on rampage style and kill
everyone on your way but you should not do
that as that will beat the purpose of the
game. Your objective is to stay hidden as
much as possible and kill your enemies one
by one, killing is what increases your score
in the game. Despite being a re-release and
the updated graphics you can totally get the
feel of playing an old game, it never feels
like a 2012 game (This is not a con, it is
very well playable). Also there are few bugs
still unfixed, e.g. Tanks killing their own
soldier who came in front of it's patrol.
The guards also for some reason ignore their
own snipers. If an enemy sniper spots you or
even fires at you, the guards remain unmoved
like nothing happened. The background audio,
gunshots etc can sometime confuse you as
they are quite loud and don't seem like
coming from some distant area. Checkpoint
can pop up any time in between, the problem
is that your previous point is overwritten.
It was hard to play V2 for longer durations,
I had to complete it in 30 minute sessions
only. Despite these flaws I am sure that
stealth game fans will still love this game.
Improvisation is very important in V2,
guards can change their routes randomly or
stop to talk or new guards may pop out from
nowhere. Your activity can also bring change
to them, killing one of the guard may change
other guards patrol route. All this really
adds to the game.

Review
Prototype 2 doesn't bring much changes
when compared to it's prequel. Gameplay is
quite repetive and most of the missions are
quite similar. Your tasks are usually the
same, Consume a person - Enter some premises
- Again consume someone - Leave the
premises. It is fun tearing apart everything
with the powers you have but the fun part
doesn't lasts very long even though the game
is not lengthy. One of the few additions
that game makes is that now you can stealth
consume also. Graphics are really good full
marks, no deduction possible in that.
Storyline is actually the main focus of the
game unlike the previous game. The Prototype
series has really a great potential but it
needs some better direction in future.

Review
The epic trilogy, a sci fi storyline
which no other game may ever be able to
narrate. Mass Effect 3 builds on the
strength of previous 2 games and concludes
it remarkeably. This is not just a review of
this game but of the all 3 games. It is the
combined experience of the triology which
takes it to the hieghts. Game has improved a
lot in it's combat, new enemies are
introduced which means different challenges.
The ending did disappointed the taste to
some extent, there should have been
different possible outcomes. Some of us were
all paragon, few went all renegade and the
other were mixed with both. All these three
categories should have different possible
endings to them or may be based on some
different criteria. Extended cut doesn't
make much of a difference. But still above
all it's a one damn good experience where
the options we took and the decisions we
made had so much impact on what goes arround
us. The only sad part is that it is finished
now, I hope future Mass Effect titles (if
any) will be equally good enough.

Review
A shooter game you will play for few
hours, finish it and then forget. It's the
storyline that needs to be blamed more then
it's gameplay. Story of the game really
matters a lot in a shooter game. It needs to
be good enough to bring some purpose to the
game. Graphics are good and so is game's
length which is little more than what is
usually found in a fps. If you haven't
played it yet then I suggest you wait for
the price to drop and play it when you have
no other game left.

Review
Pros
1. Not just another shooter - Darkness 2
constantly forces you to use demon arms.
Ammo is limited, though it can be found
easily but you are not allowed to carry much
for 3 guns you have. It's very easy to run
out of it forcing you to rely on arms more
than often.
2. You can't purchase all upgrades in one
playthrough, only half or little more than
that. You need to decide what to take and
what to ignore.
Cons
1. Storyline has lot of focus in D2 but same
is uninteresting and predictable.
2. Graphics don't belong to a 2012 game.
3. Hardly 5 hours.
Other
You have 4 arms, two normal and other two
are demon arms. With left demon arm you can
grab things which can be used as
projectiles, it can also grab your enemies
if they are stunned. The right arm is like a
melee weapon.
