I got taken in by the title. Then I played it. WTF! This is the hardest game I have ever had the misfortune of playing. Now you try. Left 4k Dead Good Luck! Image Source: wrhowell [Read more]

What do you call a stealth game that incorporates an FPS combat system? Metal Gear solid 4. I will tell you about it in detail when I have finished playing it. Image Source:furryscaly [Read more]

I hate fishing games, but I would play a FPS Fishing game.  Something like Super Eagle Black Bass.  What? FPS Fishing sounds dumb.  I beg to differ. OK, this is a “First Person Shooter”.  Notice the first person view, and shooting. This is also a first person shooter. The only difference is that in this one you are not killing humans.  So, even if you are killing other types of animals in a game, it can still be called an fps.  (I know another difference is that you are on a different planet. Give me a break!) This “hunting” game is in the first person and you are killing an animal by shooting it.  So, it can technically be called a “First Person Shooter”. Following that logic, if this game involved... [Read more]

Well, I continued playing Gears, and I was mildly impressed. The action was smooth, the story line was entertaining, and the difficulty curve kept me engaged. So even with its gore, it is still a solid game. The multiplayer however was less appealing.  The maps as beautiful as they are, feel cluttered and confined.

Are you kidding me?  I was playing Gears of War 2 with my brother in law today and watched as an alien invader was chainsawed in half. I almost lost my lunch. I am not a prude or old woman, but this is too much for me.  I won’t play COD4 in front of my daughter, and it has a tame gore rating compared to most other games. Now, I watch Tom and Jerry and the Looney Toons gang with her.  The act of a cat getting his head slammed in a door is violent, but it is not graphic, and that is the big difference. My generation was raised on cartoon violence and most of us are fine; we are not crazy psycho killers.  I am not say in that graphic violence will make you a psycho, but I do believe that it does desensitizes people. Like all of us, my... [Read more]
