Now the game has been out a little while so it’s time to tell you what i thought of the game and it isn’t all good news.
To start off with when you play the game for the first time you are in for a little treat as it can be fun to go around with a mate and shot the shit out of the bad guy’s however the cracks begin to show the more you play it.
The games major flaw comes down to the fact that it’s really really short (on the easy difficult setting it can be finished in less that a few hours) and it’s just the same thing over and over again.
The co-op elements just become repetitive and boring as there isn’t any variety to them and this was a very missed opportunity on EA’s part as they could of done so much more to make the game stand out a bit better
I’m not kicking the single player that much as the first play through of this game i enjoyed but i don’t see myself going through it again and again.
Now you might think that the huge saving grace of army of two will come down to the multi player side however this just makes the game worse as there is so much lag most of the time it’s unplayable, the enemy AI is so annoying that they constantly get in the way of you finishing your tasks, your main objectives are the same no matter how many times you play the maps and they stay in the same place and finally the biggest kicker is down to how many multi player maps there are and that’s a huge 4, yes you have read right there are only 4.
So over all the game is a big let down, I’m getting sick of magazines/Internet hyping up a game only for it to be a big let down plus the £40 price tag of it makes it even more hard more me to recommend this game.
Save up your money for either Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 or Condemned 2 Bloodshot.
I thought i would add another feature to VN that every other gaming site does and thats top 10’s.
So to kick off this weekend will be the first one and thats about the top 10 biggest gaming cock-up’s of the last 5 years (catchy title is’nt it).
I want to try and not follow other gaming sites by also doing top 10’s on other subjects apart from the usual 10 best games ever etc (but i will include those in them as well).
If you have any suggestions as to what top 10’s you would like to see let me know and i’ll give them a thought.
I had to post up this trailer as i was a huge fan of the original Starship Troopers but the sequel was a bit pants so i have high hopes for the third one as the character Johnny Rico is back to kick some alien butt (horray).
A quick piece of news here but it seem’s that the big videogames magazine in japan Famitsu has said that Resident Evil 0 will be heading to the Wii sometime this year.
Now this is just a rumor and it’s unknown if this will just be a port of the Gamecube or if this will be a remake like they did with the original Resident Evil.
As soon as more info is released we will let you know.
Well it seems like the next generation movie format award has ended with Toshiba the pioneers of HD DVD decideing to stop make HD DVD players as of this moment and the last shipment of players will reach shops by the end of March.
The news comes after a week of rumors that Toshiba will stop production of the product and it seems that the rumors were true.
There is no news what microsoft will do now with there HD DVD add on but fingers will point at the stopping of the production of it and the rumored Blu-Ray add on getting released sooner that people thought.
It is also a sign that the other two big companies that back HD DVD (Paramount and Universal) will now switch to Blu-Ray.
When there is more news about this story i will lets you know
It finally seems that Activision and Infinity Ward have announced that there will be some new maps for Call of Duty 4 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 released sometime this spring.
On top of the announcement of the new maps they have also told us that there will be some new gameplay elements with fingers pointing to the staple capture the flag scenario that should also feature some new challengers.
Robert Bowling community manage at Infinity Ward said in a statement that “We’re excited about the new maps, and the added gameplay variety, and we can’t wait to wrap things up and get online with everyone.”
As soon as details are announced about the maps i will let you know.
Now i know that this has nothing to do with videogames however i do have a movie blog which i am going to close it and just concerntrate on vagusnet.
With me doing that there is no place for movies so i thought what the hell and bring the movie side over to here, so from now on this will not just be about videogames there will also be a place for movies.
So to kick things off on the movie side i thought i would post a requested trailer i got from the vn forums for hellboy 2.
So enjoy the trailer and pop over to the forum to tell me what you think.
Now before you get your hopes up these are just rumors for the moment but they have been flying around the internet with reports suggesting that Sony is going to be dropping the 80gb PS3 in favour of the 120gb and 160gb.
Another thing to note is the fact that this is only for the American market if it happens as Sony have gone on record today saying that if the 120gb model was to be made real there would be no chance it would come over here instead we just have to have the 40gb model (or 60gb if you can still find one).
While it might sound like a good idea on Sonys part to have such a huge giga bite model of the PS3 in my eyes it’s pointless as this would just be another version of a console that is getting outsold easily by it’s competition.
If there is any more news to erupt from this story i will let you know.
