Review: Battlefield: Bad Company

Bad Company is one of those games you could take a good five minutes looking at someone else play and actually be satisfied and happy that you did. The way the game presents everything to you during the course of both the single player and multiplayer, it will most likely make your jaw drop. DICE did a great job of you actually feeling the game while actually playing it. They used several new technologies in the game that definitely help make the game have that difference as to not be too closely compared to the other big online FPS (Halo 3, COD4) out there. Most of the menus and things of that nature are simplistic but in a good way as to not over complicate things that might have some gamers weary of continuing to play but they do a good job so that it does not happen. The story is basically some army outcasts who are labeled as ‘Bad Company’ who are all put together to do a job that no other group would even want to. During the course of the game and cut scenes you will find light humor sprinkled throughout all the characters and might give you a chuckle or two. To me the story wasn’t the bread or butter of the game but it did have one and was something fun to do when not playing online.

Fable II Pub Games Pre-Review

This is my second segment of pre-reviews on the blog but I have played a couple hrs of the Pub Games and I have to say that they are a pretty good time waster. You basically create a character in the game which acts pretty much as your bank and you can go ahead and play different games with him. Now the interesting aspect is that once the game comes out in October you will be able to take any gold and items you have acquired in the Pub Games and ‘merge’ them with your in-game hero which is a nifty little feature.

The review should be out sometime before Sunday not exactly sure when but it will be up this weekend. Go check it out on XBLM.
