Damnation

What's good to be said about Damnation? That's a tough question. Well, the name is pretty cool. Okay, you obviously know the game is crappy when my only compliment about it is that I like the name. For a game that sounds cool, it sure plays like sh**. The shooting is terrible, I aim for the enemy's head and I end up shooting them in the foot. The story is a load of bs. The game was so bad, I couldn't bring myself to play the 2nd level. Waste of a rental. Speaking of money, the retail price for this game is like $50. This should be one of the games that cub scouts hand out if you support their cause. The sound sucks and the multiplayer sucks because the game sucks so much that nobody has bought this suckish game and therefore there is no multiplayer to speak of. This is one of those games that should be burned to prevent people from getting their money robbed. They paid for entertainment not crap on a disc. 1/10, that's all I have to say.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

This was easily the most anticipated and fastest selling game of all time. Why? Because it's awesome! The story is set a few years after the first Modern Warfare that was left with a cliffhanger ending about what happened to Soap. Well he survived. But you'll be playing as Roach. The single player campaign in this game by many is said to yet to be desired and over-the-top unrealistic. For example, in like one of the first levels you do a 100 ft jump on a snowmobile. The campaign is pretty short but I don't know why people are complaining about that, because the first Modern Warfare had a short campaign as well. The graphics have definitely improved and the sound is good. Hans Zimmer recorded the score and the Voice acting is good. Some lines are a little overused, so "stay frosty" for my next segment of the review. The multiplayer is the main attraction of this game. There are so many challenges and different ways you can customize your gun classes. It's just pure fun. The only downside is that the maps are designed for camping and you'll keep dying by the same bee-otch. Other than that, great game. "Stay frosty" because this scored a 9.2/10.

Fallout 3

When someone mentions Fallout 3, most people think, "Hell of a game". They would think that because is flipping amazing and the setting of the game might as well be hell. The game takes place about 200 years in the future and is set in Washington DC about 70 years into the aftermath of a nuclear war. Even though the bombs dropped a long time ago, there are still things mutated and f***ed up beyond belief trying to kill you.
This RPG has released from the vault and places you in the expansive universe of the wasteland. While the whole thing may be open world, the question how far while you make it in the world without getting killed. Even on the easy difficulty I found this game very difficult and long to complete. I had a blast (pun) playing this game, though. The graphics are very good escpecially when you have a "bloody mess" perk on and everything you kill ends up being, well... a bloody mess. The sound is excellent, I loved the voiceovers. The music from the 50s I didn't love so much but they fit the setting of the game. The story was kind of hazy at first but once you got into the game it was quite amazing. The VATS shooting is also very cool. VATS allows you to stop time and pinpoint a specific place to shoot.
Overall this game is definitely a must play. But if you don't own it and just rent it, you probably won't see it's full potential. There is also DLC, (unless you buy the GoTY edition) so there is tons of lasting appeal. This game scores a lucrative score of 9.6/10.
