Madden NFL 09

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > All Games
from: Electronic Arts

August 12, 2008
Madden development has been coasting ever since EA bought the rights to the NFL - that's pretty much understood at this point. But they've now been coasting long enough that the cumulative effect is it is a better game than it was three years ago. The presentation quality is still not as polished or deep as NFL 2K5, but it's gotten better. There are definitely some critical gameplay issues, some of which are new.

PROS:
* Nicer graphics and more variety in the animations
* Much more interesting camera angles both during plays and in between
* Resuming a franchise is a single menu option rather than a manual file loading process
* Finally have gotten back real play by play commentary

CONS:

Grand Theft Auto IV

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > All Games
from: Rockstar Games

April 29, 2008
Well, I was excited for GTA4 to come out and couldn't wait to play it. But as the game progressed I have to say I actually got bored. The storyline didn't grab me as much as other GTA's. The graphics were nice, and it was a fun at first just exploring, but I guess I miss the variety of San Andreas with its forests, deserts, mountains, small villages and big cities. To be totally honest I actually stopped playing GTA4 and went on to other games. It's now sitting on my shelf collecting dust for now. Maybe in the future I will play it again, but for now I got other games to play.

Metal Gear Solid 4

I didn't play Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, or 3. I just bought a PS3 and heard this game was amazing, so i took a chance and bought it. For the first 5 hours, this game is difficult to understand, and to be honest, not a lot of fun. But once you get the hang of the controls, and the weapon customization and item usage, it becomes a breeze. The plot line is fairly easy to follow, as the games developers explain everything to you as you go along. Therefor people that don't know any of the story lines have a pretty good idea of what's going on in this game. The second i finished this game, i immediately started it up again on a higher difficulty level. its' that good. you'll want to play it over and over. a must buy.

Soul Calibur IV

I have played all the past soul cailbur games and they always have really good modes like weapon master in two and many other modes in three but in four they removed all those modes and all they added was a tower mode that was alright and online which is alright. so i would recommend this game but you just have to know ahead of time that it is not as good as the other soul cailbur games.

Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > All Games
from: Atlus

August 26, 2008
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness and Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories are Japanese strategy RPGs originally available on the Playstation 2. The original Disgaea has been ported to the PSP with upgrades and improvements. There will be a Nintendo DS port later this year. The original Disgaea is also being resurrected as a "Greatest Hits", somewhat of a milestone for a series like this.

Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice is the story of the demon Mao in the Netherworld and his quest to become a hero and overthrow his father, the Overlord while he attends the Evil Academy.

The story throws snorts, snickers and outright laughs at you from the moment you boot the disk in your Playstation 3. Wry, tongue-in-cheek humor is de rigeour for this series.

Resistance: Fall Of Man

from: Sony Computer Entertainment

This is really a breakout game, the only reason I knock off one star is because it can be very frustrating at times. The AI is very good and the enemies can make you want to slam down the controller often. The game itself is 5 stars easily due to the large variety of weapons, intensity, large maps, and great storyline. It's very enjoyable to not simply fight the same monsters on every board, each level expands to include more powerful and more intelligent adversaries. The various grenades and rockets are a ball to blow things up with and the gore/violence is intense. Can't wait for Resistance II

Very good game. As I bought it together with GTA, GRID, MGS4 and other 3 excelent game, I am not playing much Assassins, because as you can see I bought TOP games and it is hard to choose which one to play in my short available time.
But I can see that it has excelent graphics, gameplay and lots of fun stuff to do. I recommend.
