Yu-GI-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5.

Yu-Gi-Oh, the world where card game is serious effing business. Yerp, that's right folk; where a simple card game can determine your fate. Whether you kill a person or not, kick your neighbor pet, thrash your friends toy, or even whether your are a semi-divine being in your past life can be determine by a simple card game. However we're not talking about that today k? Today we're (or rather I) gonna talk about the latest addition to the Yu-Gi-Oh! PSP game titled Yu-GI-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5.

The story is quite simple in this game, set in the time where Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's series happen; you are a simple no name red hat (until you enter his name that is) interacting and befriending with various character from 5D's to save the world, or just couple with the mook to win a card game tournament. Simple right?

However to meaty point of this game is the shear amount of card it offer. There are 4,727 cards, including cards from Starstrike Blast, Duel Terminal 10 -Raid of the Inverz!!-, Structure Deck 19 -Dragunity Drive-, and Extra Pack Volume 3 and game exclusive card to be collect and utilize to completely decimate your opponent! (Note: No actual character were killed in the game). For Yu-Gi-Oh! fan this is a good chance to create and test your RL deck. For those who can't afford to by those physical card, now its time to try the virtual one and battle with your friends thru ad-hoc!

The control is quite simple (Hey, its a card game. How hard can it be?). Basically your will be pressing the X button to interact with different command. The sound is fine. Although there is no voice-over..and I think they re-use some of the sound from last Tag Force. The graphic however is beautiful. The picture on the card can be clearly seen. The character portrait/profile is superb. And I must say, as usual for Yu-Gi-Oh! game, there ton of re-playability. There are tons of card to be collected, and each main character storyline is different from one another.

Well the flaw is there is quite a lag in this game. For one in battle, the AI will really take their time setting their card and all. And another is when your accessing your card collection. There are really noticeable lag.

My 2 cent? I'd say this is a must for Yu-Gi-Oh! fan. The number of the card available alone is  a big plus. You may even learn some new trick for your game.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Review

Now.for all those FPS who love war theme. you sure know this game. and for those who havn't.make sure you dont miss this one. Yes. the game that even if it keep getting violence and violence yet still manage to make a major hit. Call of Duty. and its newest series, Call of Duty: Black Ops.

First of its kind, set in the time of the cold war. You play as Special forces agent, Alex Mason who is being interrogate to as the goverment need infomation. from here you play trough flashbacks. the storyline is great. duh. they been game of the year since its first game. they pick well their voiceover, Sam Worthington, Ed Harris, Gary Oldman, Topher Grace and many more.

The graphic is done perfectly. you visit from The Bay of Pig, Cuba, to The Gulag in Russia. You get to use new weapons such as a crossbow, dragonbreath and a ballistic knife (multiplayer Only). They took their violance up a notch. How? Instead of blowing them to pieces, you actually get to see them in shock when you blow thier limbs off.

The multiplayer got itself a new system which they threw out the leveling/gaining experience and focus alot more on socialization and customization. You get to customize your weapon not just its equipment, but also its style suiting to the player taste. for example, you can add clan tag on you weapon or even customize the color of your reticle in scoop such as red dot. so no more easy kill streak for the level 99 and no more getting owned for the newbies.

how should i conclude this? the game been a mojar hit from its first edition. its a game you knew its going to be a great game before its even coming out. with the new timeline, equipment, gameplay its a 4 out of 5 game you dont want to miss.

God Of War: Ghost Of Sparta

Fighting mythical creature, slaying gods, chaining atlas. yup, there no other than the one and only brutal badass Kratos. and back for another round in new game, God Of War: Ghost Of Sparta for the PSP.

Set between God of war 1 and God of war 2 Kratos is still haunted by his vision of his past. and is set a quest to save his brother Deimos. pretty much like that. from here he encounter Scylla, callisto, titan Thera, and even the god of death Thanatos.

The graphic is better than the previous PS2 game, which is amazing for a hand held game. you get to travel trough a lot of places from Atlantis, to his home town, Sparta. the campaign is a bit short. i finish it in one night. but the storyline is perfect. this time its involve a lot more of Kratos mortal side and get to see how it was that created Kratos signature scar and tattoo.

for its gameplay, not much difference from its previous game.you hack and slash brutally. having quick time event. puzzles and boss fight. you can obtain other special weapon and magic along the way and upgrade it to increase Kratos demolitions. its still the same as before but not a bad thing, since its that that made Kratos one of the most badass anti hero of all time.

Simply saying. God of War: Ghost of Sparta is a must play game for those who wish finally wish to see Kratos past. of those just hungry for he distructive act. trust me you be impress. i give it a 5/5

Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2

ever felt playing a game but you know how it already end before even starting the game? That how i felt when i played Star Wars series. You fight darth vadar in the end of the game but you know he will still be one of the villain till Star Wars final movie Return of the jedi. yet you still play it. now its newest action games, Star Wars: The Force unleashed 2.

Set seven month after the Star Wars the force unleashed. you play as starkiller clone, who escape from darth vadar cloning facilities and in search of himself. On his quest he met most of the characters from the previous game. Still hillarous when he met General Kota.

The storyline is less impressive as before which is too light and there not much of a character developement. even the minor character is minor in it. They improve the graphic while lowering some specs, the game is not as heavy as the previous one. the enviroment is also improve alot. but theres only 9 level to it. and only when to 3-4 places. which is the downside of it. there not alot of enemies and boss fight.

the gameplay is pretty much the same as before. Heavy combo. mix with force. cinematic battle. but now Starkiller(?) can use to light saber instead of one and a saber is no longer a baseball bat.it can actually dismember and decapitate enemies. what new to the system is that starkiller(?) can use "mind trick" which can control enemy to either suicide or attack its own member and "force Fury" which put Starkiller in a force frenzy.

In conclusion, the game is have not much improve from its previous game. You can easily die alot in the game and still manage to finish it in a day. it only earn a 3/5
