I was unfamiliar with the character of Deadpool before I played this. He is a newer Marvel comic book character first appearing in 1991 known as the 'Merc with a Mouth.' Although somewhat lowbrow, this makes for a humorous game with it being one of the more straight comedic games I've played. At its heart it is a slash 'em up/third person shooter, with the former being what you will probably choose to do more of, however different situations require different strategies. There are also some platforming and a couple of minor puzzle aspects to the game as well. There is also some stealth implemented, although not perfectly constructed, that I would have liked to see more of, particularly the choice to get through parts of levels this way. The graphics aren't brilliant, but for a comic book game like this they suit the game and are aesthetically pleasing. The voice acting of Deadpool and co-that include appearances from Wolverine, Rogue, Death, Cable-and references to other X-Men-are excellent as we come to expect from video games these days. I played this on the medium difficulty, and by the end I was more so playing it to finish it rather than for enjoyment, as the final battles take forever and were quite difficult requiring a number of retries and computer mouses being smashed. The problem is, that Deadpool's health regenerates after a short time of not being damaged, but this becomes part of the gameplay. When you take some damage you will end up attempting to run away from the action for a while waiting for the health to fill up. This becomes particularly annoying when battling numerous enemies at once. Health-regeneration isn't uncommon in games but with no where to duck and hide I spent too much time sprinting away from enemies for my liking. If you like the genre I've described and are in for some laughs you could do worse than play this. The humour and plot no doubt kept me interested longer than the gameplay itself.

This was hated on by many, and I can understand why for a game that was 14 years in the making, but at the same time could anything live up to that? The graphics are fine but are not by any means pushing the envelope, and it doesn't offer much new in the gameplay department. However, it's a fairly enjoyable FPS, and as you'd expect from Duke has some humor that normally hits the mark. Worth checking out if you like FPSs.

This game does well to feel like the film, Terminator Salvation, visually, in terms of the plot and the characters. It's fairly fun to play without a huge amount of frustration, and if you enjoy the Terminator franchise you should get something out of it. However, it is short, probably took under 6 hours to complete, has too many cutscenes, sometimes not being necessary and nothing is anything too brilliant. In mentioning its short length, if it was to be much longer it would have had to start changing the enemy cyborgs up, and the environment as it was about to be repetitive. A fun romp through post-apocalyptic L.A., but for its short length and lack of other game modes, it should have been released at half of what most games go for.

I bought this sequel to 'Hydro Thunder' for a fiver when it was on sale and didn't expect a lot but I couldn't stop playing it. The upgrade system makes you want another race, then one more, then another to modify your rocket-powered hydro jet and get closer to being able to compete for 1st place. The racing is quick and exciting with tricks being able to be pulled off with the analog sticks to earn boost that is imperative to winning. The main flaws I think of when I play this is just that there aren't enough tracks for the amount of races you're asked to do in career mode, while the music goes hard, there aren't anywhere near enough songs either, and you can't look behind you as you race. The inclusion of online modes or even online leaderboards would've been great additions as well. If you enjoyed games like '[Game3337]' back in the day, the aforementioned game or any trick racer this should please. Gameplay 3.5/5 Graphics 4/5 Sound 4/5 Difficulty 4/5 Originality 3.5/5

I played one campaign here, being Leon's, and as I said with RE5, there are few if any moments of being frightened here unlike the early games in the series, and this is probably the case more so here. The gameplay is fairly similar to RE5, although it feels more like a third person shooter and with that familiarly is less enjoyable to play. However, the plot and environment is less like RE4 and RE5 were, being based more so in urban environments. One thing I dislike is QTE when it's not implemented well. With this game, and even previous RE games, I don't think it is. There are also times where one little chair will stop you from going in that direction. I don't think that should happen in video games these days. Lastly, the graphics were more groundbreaking in RE4 and RE5 I'd say than here. Not a bad game, and it has probably been hated on too much by some, but if you have played the previous RE games this won't blow you away.
