Shooting Gamess - Call Of Duty 3 - My Video Game Reviews

Similar to another reviewer, this (the Wii) is the first console since the original Nintendo that I was ever excited about. I generally avoided the consoles, especially FPS games for them, due to my reliance on Keyboard+Mouse control.

Gameplay: I'm very pleased with the aiming and control you have with the guns. While I seem to have a 50/50 chance of losing a fight over a gun struggle, it's still a very exciting event. Early on, it was a little dizzying due to my lack of control, and that relaxed state of my arms seemed to point the wii-remote downward, which resulted in me looking at the ground. After about 20-30 mins of play games ,(probably quicker for some others not so reliant on the Keyboard+Mouse combo), the aiming controls felt quite natural, and my focus during play was strictly on the game itself and not the controls.

Like some other games, (Halo if I remember correctly) you(your character) doesn't have hitpoints so to speak, but works off of a sustained damage idea. You won't die unless you take a lot of damage very quickly. This is enjoyable during the free games because it keeps the action going, and has less of a "Rainbow Six" feel where all the Terrorists were headhunters and 1-shot killed you.

Display: First off, I don't own a HDTV. It's an old 1993 25" tube TV. The graphics for this game look excellent on this TV. I've been very impressed with overall look and feel. There have been several times, when looking through my weapon's sights that I felt like I was watching scenes out of "Saving Private Ryan". The movement and body motions of humanoids look very natural and don't draw your attention for un-natural deformations or robotic movements.

Pros: I love the wii-remote aiming. Driving is a lot of FUN!!!

Cons: Some of the gestures with the remote, at least in the beginning for me, felt awkward or left me looking around wildly with the remote. This will probably get better as I get better with the controls, but I thought I'd mention it. AI: The AI of the enemy is Ok. It suffers from the usual AI problems such as: You've mowed down 6 Nazis running through a doorway, and they just keep coming. Because they are not affected by the loss of their comrades, they'll keep strolling through the door instead of tossing a grenade in first. As said, this is a standard problem with most FPS games.


Overall: I'm very pleased with this shooting games and would highly recommend it to FPS lovers. Especially PC gamers looking to take the plunge with a console. (Wii specific)

Tekken Fighting Games Dark Resurrection

I've recently purchased Tekken: Dark Resurrection for my PSP. I have to say if you want extreme fun and entertainment on the go, buy this game as soon as you can! Easy to pick up and play, and if you know someone else who has the game, battle them and prove who's the better fighter!


It's hard to believe that more than a decade has passed since Tekken premiered in the arcades. It's even harder to believe that we have a portable Tekken fighting games on the Playstation Portable that we can play games on the go but we do. While I'll admit that my interest wained after Tekken 3(even though I've played them all), my interest and fever for the series is back in full force with this installment.

Except for the Devil Within & Arcade History modes, everything from Tekken 5 made it over to the PSP. Several things were improved upon, like the character customization mode as well as the adding of two new characters. Mini-games like Gold rush, Tekken Bowling and Dojo Mode are extremely cool. Tekken: Dark Resurrection will surely be the game all other PSP fighters will be judged by from now on.


Gameplay: 5 out of 5
Graphics: 7 out of 5
Sound: 4 out of 5
Replay Value: 4 out of 5
Price: 5 out of 5 (It's worth 50 dollars)
Final: 5(5 stars out of 5) - 100%


One thing that Tekken: Dark Resurrection proves, most of all, is that great console fighters can be brought to the PSP with no problems. That's really promising for fans of such technical fighters such as Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter and Dead or Alive. Their dreams of portable versions of these classics could actually come true if developers were inclined to do so. Personally; I'd love to see portable versions of my favorite console fighters myself (like Street Fighter EX, Project Justice, Bloody Roar, Naruto, and Super Dragonball Z).

In conclusion, if you're looking for a tremendous 3-D fighter that can show what the Playstation Portable is capable of graphically and otherwise, look no further than Tekken: Dark Resurrection.
