Online Video Game Reviews

Many gaming websites that are on the internet are all pretty much the same. On every front page they have the newest and more anticipated games that are going to be released as well as the latest news in the gaming world. They all pretty much score their games out of 10, they all have cheats and walk-throughs. Plus they all have reviews. I'm sure many of us are all familiar with gaming reviews, and many of us have been to some form of gaming website in the last little bit. Now here's my question, is it just me or do many of the video games reviews on every gaming site seem. . . the same?

Actually I think I like the idea of that, a video games reviews website that has actual game reviews written by actual gamers. You know, the gamers who know these games completely inside and out and can tell you everything that is totally wrong or right with the game, easily at the drop of a hat. These gamers love these games and play them all of the time, what better way to find out a certain game, then through these people? They are the ones who spend their hard earned cash on the games and use their free time to play them.

As was mentioned before, many of the reviews from all of the well known gaming sites, all seem the same and it seems to me anyway, that they are all written by the exact same people. I'm not sure about many gamers, I can only talk about myself. However when I'm interested in a video game I'm the type of person that I will go to a video gaming website and just check out the score out of 10. However once I've done that, I'll go read all of the gamers reviews about the game to find out how they feel about it, and I'll talk to my gaming friends about the game as well.

Personally I think it would be cool to have a website that has video games reviews written by the actual gamers who love the game. To me, there's no other way to find out about a game then by somebody who loves to play it in their spare time for hours. I'm not the type of person who is really interested in reading a review by somebody who may or may not be a gamer, or by somebody who has only played the game through maybe once or twice. I'd rather read it from the true gamers, who are playing each and every day. Who knows better about the games then them?

Ninja Gaiden 2 Review - Xbox 360

Being a fan of the original Ninja Gaiden series, you could have imagined my excitement when NG was released for the Xbox. The game was non stop action and a difficulty level great enough to challenge even us hardcore gamers.

The main story in the game is that a woman representing the CIA is looking for Ryu, and in doing so, she gets captured in the process. After saving her, you find out that the enemies are after the demon statue that's hidden away in the Hayabusa Village. The statue has the power to awaken greater fiends that are slumbering throughout the world. This game is a supposed prequel or takes place before the events in Ninja Gaiden 1 for the NES.

Ninja Gaiden 2 follows the tradition of "No way this game is that hard" difficulty. The enemies in the game have been given a higher difficulty level and they always attack you in groups greater than 3. On screen, I have encountered at least 8 active enemies thirsting for my blood and didn't encounter any slow down.

The new feature of being able to chop off your enemies limbs is a great new addition. It makes things a little more interesting because some enemies become more dangerous when their trying to kill you with one arm. Example, in the first couple of levels there will be an enemy that unless you finish them off will kamikaze himself and take a huge amount of health from you. Let's not forget to mention that the level of gore in the game is pretty high.

Speaking of finishing enemies off, the new obliteration moves are not only bloody, but extremely useful. These moves can be done when an enemy is hopping around on one leg. There are also new moves, new ninpo and new weapons. Just to name a few, a sickle with a weight at the end, Tonfa's and my favorite, claws.

Wall running and other jumping puzzles are still pretty much the same. There really isn't any new moves that Ryu has acquired. Guess he just trained in the ancient art of I'm going to chop your head off for looking at me the wrong way.

To end it all, I would give this game a 8.9 which is a really good score. So, whether your a fan of the series or your looking for a hella good Hack and Slash, this game should be one you add to your collection.

Call of Duty 4 - Review

When I began playing COD 4, I was skeptical due to its lack-luster predecessor. Those doubts were very short-lived. When the game begins, you are given an obstacle course of sorts, like all COD games. Afterwards, you are treated to a training mission that takes place in Tanker. This is what truly made me realize how powerful the Unreal 3 Engine truly is.

The graphics, mechanics, sound effects and just overall feeling sucks you into the game very quickly. Not to ruin the game for anybody, but like all COD games, you play as different soldiers, each from their respective Countries. You start as a S.A.S officer, than as the game progresses, you play as a U.S. Marine Core Officer.

The weapons and different things available in this game are unbelievable. Everything from the M920 to the Javelin truly make it an enjoyable experience. Environment also comes into effect, as exploding cars and what seems at times, an endless barrage of grenades can seem to kill you. Enemies have gone to school and now don't just randomly pop out to get shot at. Lucky for you, your squad is a grade higher. Sometimes just when you think its over, your squad mate will take out the enemy that got you pinned. Needless to say, you start thanking your squad.

What makes a great game even better? Great replay value and this games multi-player adds this without effort. The different modes available provide such a great online experience. There is no one guy that takes out a whole team with a pistol and a melee. Every kill here you work for it, and just as it is a bit easy to kill, being killed is also just as easy. Don't fret though, as the kill cam allows you to see how you got killed. Like all games, you win by getting points, either by killing enemy's, or holding a base, or calling in an air strike. Yes, air strikes, choppers and radar are all gained by consecutive kills. Great little reward system.

How does COD4 compare to the monster that is Halo 3? Simple, they are 2 different games that in ways compliment eachother and use what works. The online community in COD 4 is excellent and people really know what they are doing. Halo has the same thing, but we get treated to the oh so often 11 year old who thinks he is Master Chief and that every kill we "cheated."

Overall, this is one fabulous game that deserves every good score it has received.

The Best Lineage 2 Bots - L2Walker and L2Superman

Botting is something that many people have already discovered and do in many popular games, including Lineage 2. If you are familiar with the game Lineage 2, you know that Lineage 2 adena can be hard to get. That becomes a whole lot easier when you use a Lineage 2 bot. There are two popular bots for the MMORPG Lineage 2. One is L2Walker. It is a simpler to use program and great for someone getting started. Another bot that is more complex but offers al ot more control over your character is L2Superman. You can use either on of these bots with your Lineage 2 account to get lots of levels for your character and lots of adena so you can buy just about anything in the game that you want to. If you have ever tried to use a macro before for Lineage 2, L2Walker and L2Superman are much better. They are easier to setup because you don't have to script them if you don't want to and they bypass the protection software that tries to catch you cheating in Lineage 2. With L2Walker and L2Superman, you can spend a few minutes setting up the bots and then sit back and relax, not having to mess with macros, Lineage 2 cheats, or scripting, unless you want to.

If you are like me, you like the idea of doing less to get more. You can buy Lineage 2 accounts and run many of them from the same computer with either of the two Lineage 2 bots. L2Walker is usually better for smaller groups of two or three characters while L2Superman is better for use with larger groups. With the ability to put up to nine character in the same group in Lineage 2, having all those character running by themselves while you eat, work, sleep, or play something else, all from one computer, is wonderful. I personally love to run a full group of nine Lineage 2 accounts, gaining adena and levels, all while playing World of Warcraft on the same computer. I get to play two games I love and only really put time into the one. Since Lineage 2 can be boring when you are lower level, having a Lineage 2 bot like L2Walker or L2Superman can be a great thing.

Many professional Chinese farmers who spend their days gaining Lineage 2 adena use L2Superman or L2Walker. They are professionals, doing this for a living, so you know that L2Superman and L2Walker must be the best programs for automating your Lineage 2 accounts and the characters on them. I even met a person at gogygo.com who runs three computers with twenty-seven Lineage 2 accounts all on L2Superman. He makes a living letting the bots do the work for him, selling the Lineage 2 adena that he has extra and even selling the accounts for hundreds of dollars more than he paid for them. Last time I talked to him a few weeks ago, he had just bought a fourth computer, a new Alienware. He wanted to see how it compared to the Dell XPS that he bought with the money from selling his extra Lineage 2 adena before. I can't wait until I get good enough at running L2Superman to be able to have enough adena to sell to buy a new computer with the cash I get from selling it. I could go out and buy a computer anyways from my job, but that just isn't as much fun as letting a Lineage 2 bot do the work and make the money for me.

Another person that I talk to started up his own power leveling website for Lineage 2. He has people pay him hundreds of dollars to level their Lineage 2 characters on their accounts and he doesn't have to do it himself. He just sets up L2Walker because it is so fast and easy to setup and then lets the L2Walker bot do the work for him, leveling their Lineage 2 account characters. He makes hundreds of dollars per account and runs up to fifteen at a time from the same computer. He is the wealthiest person I know who sits at home and plays games all day. He always seems to have the best new computer and never has to complain about his day at work, because all he does is spend a little time setting up a bot and then just waits until it is done leveling the character so he can go spend his money.

If you want to know more about Lineage 2, L2Superman, L2Walker, Lineage 2 botting, and how you can get your Lineage 2 accounts more level and more adena, make sure to check out the site I joined, gogygo.com. They sell the activation codes you need for L2Superman and L2Walker, plus have a forum with lots of information and cool people who are fun to talk to about botting in Lineage 2. There are even some really good guides posted as stickies in the forum that make it easy for some new to Lineage 2 botting to get started get level for their Lineage 2 characters and making more adena than they could before. It is risky, but there are even a few people who discuss strategies for botting all day and all night for maximum level and adena gains. I hope you check out gogygo.com and like it as much as I did. It completely changed the way that I played the game, or rather don't play the game, because the bots do it for me. Do not to forget to look through the forum when you go there for the great Lineage 2 guides for botting that they have at gogygo.com. They are some of the best Lineage 2 bot guides I have found, even better than the sites that try to charge you money for information about the bots.

If you play Lineage 2 and aren't botting it already, or are looking for an easy way to make money while you play other games, make sure to check out www.gogygo.com and read though more information on Lineage 2 bots and how to use them to make money or just have more fun with the game.

With PS2 games now essentially being the legacy Sony console - now that the PS3 is released, PS2 games have begun to become both more available and more affordable. Not only have many gamers been cashing in on their old PS2 titles, whereby making a flood of used PS2 games hit the market, but publishers have also dropped the price of newly released PS2 games given the preference of many gamers to reach for the PS3 alternative.

The smart PS2 owners out there however have cashed in their PS2 games and signed up for one of the many PS2 download services available.

A good service will provide everything from the latest PS2 releases all the way back to the original PS2 titles.

Download PS2 Games - How to Download PS2 Games Online

What would you say if I told you, you can now download PS2 games online? Not only has the newly arrived PS3 been out for quite a while now...but the previous systems games (the PS2) are still costing almost as much as they did when released. These days it now a lot more convenient and practical to be able to download PS2 games online and transfer to DVD through the power of the internet.

When downloading any software program or game from the internet it is always good to know the risks and issues involved. There has been much publicity in recent times on people using illegal peer-to-peer applications to enable free downloads. This is where you really benefit from using one of the paid services online for peace of mind when do download PS2 games. For a one time fee, not only do you get peace of mind any files downloaded are legal, safe and virus free, but also many of the better download sites will offer a comprehensive library of PS2 games.

Having the service archive a list of games and provide both the games, software and licensing required is generally well worth what is typically a once off nominal fee.
So, Are these sites user friendly and easy to use? Well, from the investigation I have done most seem to be. Of the 3 sites tested the process generally involves logging onto the website, performing a search for the games title, then clicking the 'download PS2 game' button. The game will generally take around 2 hours to download, (although this may change depending upon the speed of your internet connection).

Upon downloading the games will need to be transferred to DVD before they can be played on your PS2. Thankfully each of the services I subscribed to had their own DVD burning software, and as I have a DVD burner in my laptop is was no issue transferring the games onto disk.

Which are the best sites to use? There are quite a few sites available; many may be specific to a certain platform of console. Generally speaking the services that offer a large collection of games and downloads (think 10,000+) are reliable platforms that will offer both a good service and solid support and tools for the user should you encounter any problems.

I am an avid PS2 gaming Fan and crazy about console gaming in general. Check out my full PS2 Download review on how to download PS2 games
