Ghost Recon Future Soldier Review.

Posted by Achievement Hoarders on May 23, 2012 at 9:15 PM Comments comments (0)

Ghost Recon is back and better than ever in the new installment, Future Soldier. The game has some intense moments that are loads of fun to play...and the best part is that you can take on the challenge with up to 4 players. The co-op experience is a blast, as long as you communicate with one another. Communication is important because the game focuses on stealth combat, even though it can be played guns blazing if the the player reall wants too. The new survival mode is a great co-op mode that remains fun for a good amount of time. I did however get bored of it after a fairly long session. There is 2 notable problems in terms of gameplay. The first one being some questionable level design choices here and there, and sub par enemy A.I. The game looks great. What was cool to me was the X ray vision look, I think it is awesome. The amount of content in the game will keep players coming back. The co-op is fantastic, in both campaign and survival, even if survival can get boring...its fun for a good amount of time. The multiplayer has a lot to it, which it good...but I don't know if players will stick around that long. Not saying that multiplayer isn't a blast though, cause it is. Another replay factor is the gun customization, loads of fun. Future Soldier's achievements are diverse and I like most of them, but there is a good amount of multiplayer cheevos. The game's story is fairly standard, gameplay and replay are the true stars in Future Soldier. Last but not least, the audio. Sound effects sound great and the voice acting is good, thumbs up from me. Future Soldier is a great game with tons of replay value. Even if it has some flaws..pick it up, you will have fun.

MW3 Collection 2 Review.

Posted by Achievement Hoarders on May 21, 2012 at 2:10 PM Comments comments (0)

I like Call of Duty, I like MW3. Many people don't, and that is okay. However, millions of people including myself still have fun with CoD. The newest DLC is a great expansion worth the $15 price tag. It still plays like MW3 which is great because each new map plays fast and smooth. The Spec Ops levels are two of the best I have played in the series. All of the new content looks great. The new multiplayer maps are the best looking ones in the game so far. They are designed very well, and are exciting to look at. The replay on the new maps is very good, and you may see yourself heading back to the new Spec Ops a few times. The achievements are standard, they are very similar to the first DLC. All Spec Ops related, the good part is no multiplayer achievements. There is no real story for the DLC, but the fact that Spec Ops takes the player back to campaign is very cool. The new gametype "Face off" is great fun. It's good for trying hard, friendly fights, or trolling. There are hours of fun to be had in the DLC as a whole. The audio sounds great, just as the rest of the game does. Overall, this content drop is worth the price tag.

My Top 5 Summer Games!

Posted by Achievement Hoarders on May 18, 2012 at 11:20 PM Comments comments (0)

( Confirmed ones only, Summer...June 1st through September 30th ) ( Retail Only )

5. Sleeping Dogs. After being cancelled and revived under a new name, Sleeping Dogs looks to be a strong game based on the awesome trailers and screenshots.

4. LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. I'm a huge sucker for LEGO, and superheroes. I want to play as each different character and see what gameplay functions they have to offer. Except Aqua Man...he's a pussy.

3. Spec Ops: The Line. The demoI played was quite good. It looked great, had the right mix of serious attitude and comedy, and had some hyper/fun gameplay. I can say that I really enjoyed it, and want to play the full game.

2. Lollipop Chainsaw. The Suda 51 title looks crazy awesome. The pure insanity of it really draws me in. Plus...Juliet is hot.

1. Borderlands 2. The first one was fantastic, I have logged so many hours into Borderlands...and it still remains fun. Borderlands 2 looks bigger and better, with a ton of new features to fool around with. I can't wait until this one hits stores.

Loot, here I come!

Dragon's Lair Review.

Posted by Achievement Hoarders on May 18, 2012 at 10:40 PM Comments comments (0)

Dragon's Lair gets to be on yet another platform, the Xbox 360 version is an 80s classic that may need to throw in the towel. The gameplay is as simple as the original arcade version, but it feels odd when using Kinect to play it. Good thing it is controller compatible, it plays much better that way. There is a nostalgic feeling in the gameplay, but it doesn't meet up to today's standards in the least. The art style is a huge nostalgia trip, and is a true feat. It really reminds the player of 1980s animation. There is almost no replay value. The game will take around 30 minutes to beat, maybe a bit longer on harder difficulties. It was a good deal when it was a quarter to play, but $10 for that short amount of playtime does not cut it. The game's achievements work very well with what they have to offer. The game's story is simpl, because it was an arcade game. Simple...that is all it needs to be. The audio is along with the art, a nostalgia trip. Dragon's Lair has had one of the longest runs in video game history. It's a great source of nostalgia and a classic, but doesn't meet up with today's standards. Let's not ruin it's reputation by keeping it around, let's remember it as the gem it used to be.

JAM Live Music Arcade Review.

Posted by Achievement Hoarders on May 16, 2012 at 9:55 PM Comments comments (0)

The game has an good idea, but a lot of flaws that go along with that idea. The gameplay is hit and miss, creating Jams is fun for a certain amount of time...but they can't be shared with anybody online. That would have been a great feature. The game is made to be played with a guitar controller, which might be a bad idea due to the music game decline. I used the controller, and the controls were awkward and difficult. Holding down 5 buttons at once isn't fun when trying to make beats, and the strum key is the d-pad instead of an analog stick. Arcade mode is awful, by the way. The graphics, if you wanna call them graphics...are fairly generic, but don't look bad. JAM doesn't have much replay to offer. Making music will get boring after a bit due to the annoying controls. The achievements are simple, nothing too creative. There of course, is no story. Now a huge part for a game like this, the audio. A very mixed list, but a lot of music that really depends on taste. Some of it wasn't that bad to me, but it wasn't very good in my opinion. The tracks that players create are the true stars of the audio, unless of course the player makes crappy songs. Overall, JAM Live Music Arcade is a boring game. It may be fun at first, but loses it's appeal much too soon.

Game of Thrones Review.

Posted by Achievement Hoarders on May 15, 2012 at 7:40 PM Comments comments (0)

Game of Thrones is a royal dissapointment...see what I did there? Enough with the bad puns, the game is a true let down. When gameplay manages to succeed, it also fails. You could make a decision that impacts your adventure, and that is good gameplay. However, soon after you are met with some very lackluster combat that is not just hard to control...it's very repetitive. The graphics are meh at best. The characters look very good, but surrounding areas lack emotion...which makes them look quite generic. They of course aren't too bad though. The replay value in this game is a major gamble. The game itself lasts about 17-18 hours. Which isn't too bad, but coming back for another run will be quite boring. So around 20 hours of game time, it's up to the player if that amount of playtime matches the price tag. The achievements are boring, too many secret ones...nuff said. The storyline is the star of the show, and still isn't great. There are a good amount of twists and turns which will make the player want to finish this otherwise average experience. The voice acting is pretty poor here, but the music from the show fits well. However, sound cut out is annoying and is almost bound to happen sometimes. In the end, Game of Thrones isn't a game that will win any awards, it's average...at best.

Gameplay...5/ Graphics...5/ Replay...6/ Achievements...4/ Story...7.5/ Audio...6.5/ 56% F

 Average Game of Thrones. (more puns...sorry)
