Time Crisis: Crisis Zone
Great shooter game like it's predecessors Time Crisis 2 & 3. You start of with a machinegun instead of a handgun, (trust me you'll need it). One major drawback however is that it's only a one player game and you cannot use two guns when playing as one player. The instuctions say you can use two GUNCON 2 controllers for portions of the game, however after playing two levels of the game, I have not found a way to activate it. You might have to earn the ability to use two guns. I am very ticked-off about this. Maybe after playing the game more I'll figure it out. I've only played the game for 2 1/2 hours before writing this review. Thought I would warn potential buyers before they purchase it. Still, it's a Kick-B*tt game, but would be much better if you could use 2 guns.

Stingray
Fast paced game with great graphics however, Unlike Time Crises 2 and 3 its somewhat mindless in the sense you point the machine gun in the direction of the bad guys and just shoot.. This game has one gun, at least in the early levels you can use the machine gun only. The bad guys in this game are hard to kill meaning you have to shoot them multiple times to kill them. In Time Crisis 3 some of the bad guys have to be shot up to 5 and 6 times however in this game all but one of the characters require nearly a full clip resulting in multiple reloads. I get the sense I am playing the same screen over and over with the only real change being the back drops. I hope it gets better, I have played through the second level up an to this point. Crisis Missions are near impossible but at least a little different. For more pin point shooting that requires a little skill rather then luck, I would say stick with Time Crisis 2 and 3.
Time crisis extreme
This game is probably my favorite time crisis game. The basic game play is the same with one huge exception, you have unlimited machine gun rounds. Gone is the need to save amunition for a particular time. Once you beat arcade mode you unlock crisis mode and play with every weapon with unlimited ammo. There are also timed modes, special weapons modes and enough other unlockables to keep this game fun longer than most. Even after you beat everything its time to replay it and beat your times and score. My friend ( who hates video games ) played this and time crisis 3 and loved it. she said she actually had dreams about playing it.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011

ditorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is the 2010-2011 version of Konami's long-running, video game soccer franchise. The tenth release in the series overall, Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 refreshes the popular series by merging the best features that earlier iterations have presented to video game footballers worldwide over the years, along with new features that will carry the franchise into the future. Combined features include: 1,000+ new motions available in-game; unprecedented control over every pass, shot, throw-in; drag-and-drop functionality for team management; the ability to map favorite moves to the analog stick; an online Master League and much, much more.

Freedom of Play Lifts the Game to New Levels

Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is here and brings digital soccer to the next level. Central to the heart and soul of PES 2011 is the idea of freedom of play. This freedom invigorates the series with the most advanced set of gameplay improvements ever attempted by the Winning Eleven Production game development team, coupled with the greatest stride in new content. The result is a game that allows total control over every element of play – even online – to give the most lifelike soccer experience next to actually putting on a uniform and taking the field.

Key Game Features

Take total control on the pitch on offense, defense, online or offline.
View larger.

• Total Control - PES Productions has enhanced the 360-degree passing ratio, offering unprecedented levels of control over every pass, shot, throw-in, through ball and lofted through balls. Users can pass the ball into space, and move their play with total freedom. Players must precisely weight their passes and second-guess the runs of their teammates and exploit their movement. Players even can apply pressure on opponents to force them off the ball.
• Shot and Stamina Gauge - In addition to the generic power gauge, the Shot and Stamina meter details the player's exact level of fitness. Constantly sprinting will have an adverse affect on performance and statistics.
• New Defender AI - Defenders now hold their positions naturally, instead of chasing balls that enter their area and work to close down the attacker to force mistakes.
• Animation and Player Physics - PES Productions has totally reworked every element of in-game animation. These additions will become clear before even kickoff, with the players enjoying fluid, natural movements, with more realistic acceleration and inertia than ever before. The physicality between players is also improved, which was a priority requested in PES forums. Jostling and blocking now looks stunning, while there is a larger variety of convincing tackling styles. Ambient animation also adds immensely to the in-game atmosphere, as players behave realistically when off the ball, and walk and run with a variety of individual styles.
• Speed of Play - The new level of control means that PES 2011 enjoys a more varied pace of play, which depends on the situation at hand. The game will burst into life as counterattacks come into play, but players can dictate the pace via slow build up or exploiting available space to surge forward. It is harder to make long runs from midfield, and successful play will depend on making quick passes to create space.
• Aesthetics - PES 2010 showcased the best likeness' in a football game, and PES 2011 ups the ante further. Facial animation has been enhanced, but the key advances are over 1000 all-new animations which have been recreated from the ground up using over 100 hours of motion captured footage yielding more organic runs, turns, throw-ins, tackles, and interaction.
• Tactical and Strategy - The PES Productions team has implemented an all new 'Drag and Drop' mechanism that can be used in every aspect of team management. These settings are also animated to promote better understanding of the plays that have been altered.
• Feint settings - PES has always offered a wide range of subtle skills, feints and turns, but PES 2011 allows users to map their favorite move sequences to the right stick, making them more accessible than ever before.
• Master League Online - PES 2011 marks the online debut for its much-loved Master League element, with players bidding against each other for the world's best players, and attempting to build a squad that can compete with the best against online peers all over the globe.

Evasive dribbling techniques. Customer Reviews A step in right direction - New kind of PES altogether First, let me start by providing my experiences with FIFA 2011. After reading rave reviews on FIFA 2011, I decided to give it a try after skipping FIFA 2010 (also had glaring reviews) and going with PES 2010. You can read my review on FIFA 2011, but bottom line is I ended up selling it mainly due to unrealistic and indistinguishable gameplay despite FIFA touting the "realistic" gameplay. Unrealistic because you can never execute a deadly thru-pass with a top player with just one lowly defender who stood between you and the forwards running/waiting for that thru-pass. A defender would always intercept the pass unless you direct the pass to a completely open area which defeats the purpose. In real life, playmakers like Gerrard, Iniesta, Xavi, etc provide deadly thru-passes toward inside the box past 2-3 top defenders. Indistinguishable because no matter which team you play or who you're controlling, they all have the same characteristics and speed. Messi or Ronaldo can't out run a lowly defender. The game was boring and tedious. I loved FIFA's clean presentation, soundtracks, editing capabilities, even down to customizing the chants, but it failed to deliver in gameplay and fun factor which is the core of any video games. So I went back to PES series and my experiences have been mostly positive. PES 2011 have a much more streamlined and clean interface. You still don't have all the licenses or real stadiums but the game play is so much better and exciting compared to FIFA. First and foremost, you can forget about all your previous skills that you may have acquired from previous PES series. The new gameplay takes some getting used to, especially the new camera angle. There is no tele angle which showed most of the playing field panning side to side following the controlling player/ball. It is now been replaced with "wide" angle with options to follow the ball or the players. When you're deep inside the opponent's half trying to provide crosses, the angle is skewed much like the "broadcast" angle that you really can't see your players waiting inside the box with a quick glance, so you really have to rely on radar. However, with practice and some getting used to, it quickly became a non-issue. The gameplay is much more realistic and fluid with no "ball sticking" that plagued previous PES series. Passing now requires well timed direction and control with power gauge indicator. But most importantly, thru-passes work in PES unlike FIFA. I can pin point and execute thru passes between defenders and experience the gratification of forwards receiving them leading to a potential goal. There are definite differences on players' mobility and skills when you're controlling a top player as opposed to other players. Messi can out run and execute some deadly feints to get past a defender, Drogba can bully couple of defenders with his size and strength, and other players' real life skills are accurately portrayed in PES 2011. Online play is more accessible now with instant game matching within Exhibition menu as opposed to drilling down inside Online menu. I did not experience any noticeable lags even with subpar network connections. The new game plan (tactics/strategy) with drag-and-drop interface is so easy and intuitive that I find myself tinkering with different settings - something that I haven't done often in previous PES. Feint settings where you can combo series of feint moves with the right stick is also a welcome addition and fun to watch. Sadly, this game isn't perfect. There are some glitches or short-comings: - I lost control of my players when I accidentally pressed series of buttons on my controller. CPU took over and was controlling both teams as if the game is running in demo mode. I regained full control after a dead ball. Fortunately, I've only experienced this once. - There are some graphic "tearing" when players are near or inside the goal. They go through the goal net with some eerie effects. - Penalty kick system should be completely gutted and reworked. I really liked FIFA's "metered" or "gauged" controlled penalty kick system. Minor issues aside, I'm enjoying PES 2011 more than FIFA 2011 and I think it's unfortunate that PES 2011 don't get the credit or fair reviews that it deserves from the game review community. You could find a number of high reviews for FIFA but only a handful of lukewarm reviews on PES. Not that I rely on these so called professional game reviewers' verdicts dictate my purchasing decisions but still, I think it's a shame. Pros: 1. Realistic gameplay and physics without sacrificing fun factor in soccer simulation game 2. Ease of menu navigation and game plan (tactics) settings 3. Reliable, quick and fun online gameplay 4. Does not require online access code you have to enter like FIFA Cons: 1. The new gameplay and camera angles take some time getting used to 2. Some graphic glitches but this could be ironed out on future updates 3. Bad, inconsistent penalty shootout system Overall, PES 2011 is a step in right direction and despite some minor issues, it's still a fun game that you should definitely experience. Great game, but still have some flaws I just got the game yesterday and only played one game under Professional difficulty with RM vs Milan. I won 4-2. I felt the control is much different from the previous versions, which need some time to get used to. The only complain that I have is the camera angle, which, sometimes, is hard to identify the right direction to pass and shoot, especially under the new passing system. Also, the strategy setting is a little to complicated to me. End of the day, we are just trying to play some soccer, not trying to play the Football Manager game. Other than that, the game looks great to me. PS. I have been a PES and WE fan for over 10 years. No matter how good people say FIFA is, I aint to touch it.

PlayStation 3 Vs Xbox 360 The Long Battle Continues By Hugo Roger and Roger R. Lima

Today the video game industry is dominated by three huge companies that seem to dominate the video gaming market completely, these companies are Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. The battles really goes way back, from a long time ago, when the available video games consoles were nothing but simple heavy boxes, with low graphics quality, but still they were the ones dominating the gaming market back then. But from the many video game companies that came out other than Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo, the time that has passed has placed a lot of the weaker ones out of business leaving today the three biggest video game companies of all time which are Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, but the battle just never ends between Sony and Microsoft, both fighting for the spotlight and also to lead and dominate this industry. It seems like the battle just begun.
Sony has held the tittle of the best video game maker for many years consecutively, while comparing to Microsoft. A few years ago we had PlayStation 2 already out in a battle against Microsoft's original console the Xbox. Only a few would dare to mention that Xbox was better than PlayStation 2, but a few years later when Microsoft released the amazing Xbox 360 all eyes were amazed and Xbox 360 held the attention of the media and gamers for more than a year. Xbox 360 came out with all the power that a new generation console could handle, beautiful graphics and just a super fast processor, among many other great features..
As time passed by after the release of the Xbox 360 millions of people worldwide, both media and gamers were already expecting the arrival of the new PlayStation 3, many gamers already knew what were some of the features of the new machine but no one had had a first up close view of the console until it finally came out, been released in Japan on November 11, 2006 around 07:00am and reaching it's release in the United States on November 17, 2006.
When Microsoft was faced with Sony's latest video game console, their whole comparison chart was simply destroyed, PS3 came out with features that Xbox 360 couldn't even come close, and some of these features were a beautiful top of the line built-in Blu-ray player, a fast Wifi built-in networking card and an amazing backwards compatibility. Sony had invested so much on their console that they were selling their units below cost price. Meaning the were loosing hundreds of dollars on every sale! But thankfully after this though time passed Sony was able to withstand the barriers created and have prosperity coming their way.
Just as the years passed so did the age of both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, allowing each company to deliver improvements and new features in their consoles. Xbox 360 was upgraded to the new Xbox 360 Slim, which includes many of the powerful features that PS3 carries, but it includes a faster built in Wifi card, way faster than PS3's original wifi card. PlayStation's latest model is also a Slim version, but includes basically the same features, but PS3 today is still considered more powerful and better than Xbox 360.

Surely the comparison between PlayStation 3 vs Xbox 360 can go deeper in many ways, forms and specifications in much more detail to define which console is better and which is not. But in the end it will be you the gamer or fan deciding which console is the best choice for your self. The pleasures will always be the same, and the long endless battle between PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 will continue.
I started writing when I was about 12 years old, on my little journals, after so many years I still enjoy writing about all sorts of topics, related to computers, games, internet, IT, animals and many others. Writing is something I have great passion on doing it. The era of technology came by to make it more simple and more easy to get my writings done faster and looking way better as well. I hope you have enjoyed the above article as much as I did writing it.

Editorial Reviews

GameSpot Review
Army Men 3D is a three-dimensional war game wherein you act as a commando-like soldier in a world gone completely Saving Private Ryan, plastic, and lilliputian. It's a world with some narrative behind it, so a history lesson is necessary before we proceed. After shifting solely to software development awhile back, 3DO introduced a lighthearted real-time strategy game to the PC revolving around little plastic army men named... Army Men, and since it sold well, the company developed the concept into a franchise. To date, another PC strategy game as well as this one (a third-person shooter) has been released, while a third-person N64 adventure game (Army Men: Sarge's Heroes) and a PlayStation helicopter game (Army Men: Air Attack) have been announced.
Army Men 3D places you as Sarge, a lone soldier whose missions involve rescuing captured troops and returning them across a minefield, taking on an enemy fortress unaided, retrieving sensitive documents from spies in the field, sabotaging bridges and radar dishes, and the like. You're in the Green army, which is at war with the Tan, and you've got an arsenal ranging from machine guns and bazookas to flame throwers and grenades - all of which you use to fight the good fight. There are even jeeps and tanks for you to drive around and over people.
Sound like a good concept? It is. There are a few really neat things about the game. Sneaking around as a commando and ducking behind rocks to avoid enemy fire can be very fun, and a number of the missions present some enjoyable challenges. Likewise, the mechanics behind the grenades and mortars is great. When you press the fire button, a square-shaped target moves away from you to the maximum distance the mortar or grenade can be shot or thrown and continues back and forth until you let go of the button to launch the shot. However, there are a number of factors that pile up and drag Army Men 3D way down.
The graphics are the main offender here; they are muddy beyond even those in Sega's House of the Dead on the Saturn. This is less an aesthetic complaint than a practical one, because you'll often not be able to distinguish an enemy soldier from a cactus or brush, and the terrain often has inexplicable sticky spots, both of which can get you shot. The later levels in the bayou look better than the desert stages (where pop-up runs rampant) and save the game from getting an even lower graphical score. There are some control and gameplay problems at work, as well. The control set-up feels somewhat incomplete because of the lack of a gun sight in the look mode and no strafe button at all. The gun sight is substituted by a computer-controlled intelligent aiming function that hones in on foes in the area toward which you've pointed your muzzle, but sometimes it gets confused when enemies are clustered together. If an enemy is farther away and not shooting at you, you might choose to ignore him for a moment, but the aiming function won't always let you. The prerequisite strafe button is replaced by the ability to roll left and right, which is probably a bit more realistic, but the need for more precise control becomes apparent the first time you get caught in a crossfire.
As it might sound, it's very easy to get killed in Army Men 3D. You can be right near the end of a level, walk around a corner, and get eaten right up by a machine gunner. It actually happens a lot, so it makes you start wishing for less powerful bullets or mid-level save spots. The way it stands, there are a lot of instances when you'll quit the game out of frustration, only to continue later out of stubbornness - meaning that the game is often maddening, but at least it does provide compelling enough reasons to continue.
Other items worth mentioning: The music and sound aren't very strong, and the game is a little bit on the short side. The game camera is near perfect in the single-player mode because it sticks right behind your back, but since it's trimmed back toward the horizon in the two-play capture-the-flag game, it's too hard to see around. Beyond all that, the only thing left uncovered is probably the enemy AI, which alternately seems either too smart or not smart enough.
It's obvious that there is a good game buried under all this, but it just seems to be down a little too deep to get any sort of recommendation. With some major spit and polish, plus several more months of development time, Army Men 3D could've turned out a lot better. Still, we haven't seen enough commando-type war games like this, and it leaves me wanting more. Let's hope a superior sequel will come along or that another company will build upon what we've seen here. --Joe Fielder

This is a awesone game
This game is a total BLAST!! Shoot some Tan's, lay some mines, squish 'em with your tank, chuck a few gernades, play sevaral differnt terrains, and just have fun. Army Men 3D has great animation. You have a awesome 3rd person view with great grahics and lot of weapons. Mutiplayer is so much fun. I don't think that there is a downside to any part of the game. If you have Playsation this sould be the first game you buy!! Have fun.
INCREDIBLE
Army Men 3D has to be the best game I own. As soon as I bought it I was instantly absessed! It has over 15 missions which are all cool and interesting. Whether its rescueing men or blowing up towers, some times just plain out wiping out armies, its all out fun. fire rifles, mortars, bazookas, or throw grenades. Sometimes when feeling frustrated you can always lay down some explosives! Drive 4 different vehicles including jeeps or tanks!
The only downside to this game is the graphics. they sure aint perfect but they are not as bad as some people would say. You can always easily make out your charachter but some times the tean enemy can camoflauge with the terrain.
This shouldnt be enough to keep you from buying this nearly perfect game!

Best two player military game
This game is one of the best head to head military games out there. The animated player movement is smooth and the topographic/graphics are good. Weapons available include M-16, M-60, Tank (great for grinding your screaming opponent into pulp), jeep mounted 50 cal., flamethrower, bazooka, mortar, grenades, and landmines. This version is far superior to the later versions. The aiming reticule for the mortar and grenades is smoother and easier to use and the damage inflicted seems more realistic than the later versions. I would like to see a couple of weapons added (posion gas [delivered by artillery], bayonet, garrot, command detonated claymores). The only real complaint about this game is the lack of different scenarios in the head to head mode. It would be nice to see 3DO add some scenarios depicting Urban/Jungle/Mountain warfare to the two player mode. Those complaints aside, this game is one of the best, it allows for some rudimentary strategy and tactial planning, then compells the players to resort to brute force to wear your opponent down.

Awesome Racing Game This game was really fun. There are several levels, and you must collect money by winning races so you can purchase a better, nicer bike to race with. There's lots of cool roads and settings you can race in. There are about 15 other computer-operated bikers that you are racing against, and if you are in last, there is afew places where you can cheat and take shortcuts, and it puts you in first place! I also liked this game because there are cops in it and they try to chase you down. You can ram them and other bikers with your motorcycle to make them crash, or you can hit them with one of the many weapons you acquire over time.(Like a 2 by 4, chain, mace, stun gun, cattle prod, baseball bat....) Oh, and one more thing: I wouldn't recommend it to anyone under 12 or anyone that can't interpret the difference between fake violence and real violence. But this game is really alot of fun! Is a classic to have I like motorcycles, I used to play this game back in the days, now i play it in my PS3 is a classic you should have. Awesome concept! awesome style! awesome music! This is one of the most memorable games of my old times with my PS1, and what I love of it, is the concept, the fights in the road, the open city(kind of, if you get out of track you won't win but you can explore), the cops, the music is awesome, the cut scenes, the menus and the art has an amazing style that blends perfectly, did I mention the music? It's pretty cool for just a game where you road on bike trying to win races beating your opponent with chains just to get money to buy better bikes :) If you see it someday around some store(like me) or online... take it! you won't regret it, of course have in mind that this game is almost 10 years old, but I have to say that today's PS3 or 360 doesn't have games with great and diverse concepts like this one.
