Game #2: Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3


1-player (2-4 online)

2MB to save game

Supports 720p/1080i/1080p

Co-op- 2 players

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 brings a reconizeable, yet stunningly diffrent, type of gameplay for all the Red Alert fans. Now, you have the option of naval battles, as well as land battles. The weapons are much the same, although they are more detailed and more evenly balanced.

With an all-star cast including Tim Curry and Jonathan Pryce, this game has raised the bar for the stragity game sector. The cutscenes are awesome, as well is the characters themselves.

Parker's Synopsis

C&C RA3: Again, one of my all time favorite stragity games, this game blends cut-scenes (which I love) with good action, to make it one of my favorite stragity games ever. However, this game does get a bit confusing with the controls and number of units you have under your control once you get into the game a bit. But don't let that fool you. Once you put your full concentration behind the game, it becomes fun.

1-person Shooter/RPG
I will first start off by saying, Fallout 3 does NOT have a multiplayer... at all...
Now, that being said, this may be one of the best games ever.  Fallout 3 won many awards including Best of E3 by both Gamespy AND ign.com. 
Fallout 3 is a sandbox gameplay with many new features that some games just can't give you.  A new battle system (called V.A.T.S) gives you control over what part (or parts) of the enemy you want to hit, as well as giving you real-time data about the health of each body part. 
Another great feature is the realistic damage.  If your right arm is damaged, and you are right handed, you can't shoot your weapons as well as you could at full health. 
You can now talk with people more interactive than ever.  Everyone has a diffrent personality, so you must say what you think they would like to hear... or you may pay with your life...
Fallout 3 takes place in post-apocalyptic Washington, D.C where time is frozen in the 1950's with music, clothing, money, and even buildings that reflect that era.  Although not realistic, it does make you think about how our world would be if an event of this were to happen.

Welcome to Xbox 360 Game Reviews!

Welcome Gamers!
Are you tired of so-called 'experts' telling you what video games you will like? Wouldn't you like a real video gamer to tell you what they like, and not what you like? If you do, then this is your place. Here, we don't tell you what games you should go buy, nor do we push video games upon you, but give you suggestions of what you may want to play. We may feel strongly about specific games, but we encourage you to take what we have to say and combine it with your own feelings. My name is Parker, and I am joined by two of my good friends (who also play Xbox 360 with me), Travis and Dwayne. If you enjoy video games as much as we do, and need some suggestions, you are in the right place! Most of the time, we will have no more than 2 reviews per week, unless it is a special week. This week, we will be having three video game reviews. To start off, lets go over the scoring system and how it works...

0-1: Bad. This game is about as horriable as a video game can get. Bad controls, bad graphics, bad... everything... A very rare ranking.

2-3: Poor. This game needs quite a bit of improvement, but something about it we like. We may like something about it, but it is still quite bad...

4-5: Fair. Not great, but not bad. This game may have some good items mixed with the bad ones. Some die hard fans may like this game, but the others will soon be bored with it.

6-7: Average. This game lacks some key elements, but dosen't deserve a fair rating. The opinions of most gamers will be mixed on this game.

8-9: Excellent. This game has something for everyone. Unless you don't like the game type, this game will please you.

10: Superb. This game is magic. No one can hate this game. This game is like gold and should be treated as such.

The layout of the page will be diffrent, of course, but it will be easy to understand and (I hope) very helpful.

Look for our first reviews soon!
Thanks from all of us,
Parker, Travis, and Dwayne
