Mlb07 is a realistic baseball game that focuses more on pitching and batting than anything else.
At first the game might be complicated, I have had it for about a month and still am confused about certain parts. Swinging at the right time is hard to master, but by the middle of the game you get the hang of it.
Graphics 4/5
Graphics are very good. You feel as if you are really at the game. The stadiums look just like the real ones. They probably could have used a few more different crowd characters it is funny when a majority of the crowd is wearing the same color shirt and stands and cheers at the same time.
There are a lot of nice and realistic features such as: your bat randomly breaking on a swing or even the bat flying out of your hands.
Each character seems to have their own batting style and animations.
All the way from disagreeing with the umpire to a crotch fix, this game has it all.
Its fun if you hit the batter too many times in a row, the pitcher gets kicked out and the batter gets quite angry.
Sounds 5/5
Not only does the game have great sounds (even has a cool sound if you hit the batter with a pitch) but there are also halrious commentaries.
The commentators are a strong point in the game. Although there arent many different jokes and insults, they’re still great and takes awhile for them to get old.
Game play 4/5
Although it may be fun to play with a friend the single player game can get a bit boring after a few strikes.
The camera angle is from the catchers eyeview, which makes pitches look even nicer. The pitcher picks a pitch and the batter has an option to guess the pitch, and if he guesses correctly, a red crosshair will appear where the pitch is going to go. Guessing the pitch is quite fun and is almost a game on its own.
A “quick game” lasts about an hour, so by then it can get repetitive.
Multi-player 4/5
Multi-player is exactly like the main game except instead of a computer pitching or batting against you, the other player is.
Just like with 1 player, you can play either a quick match or play the career mode.
Although I’m not a big baseball fan, I must say this is a really fun game. I have had a lot of laughs and hours of fun.

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is a first person shooter sequal to Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas, which was released 2 years prior (November 2006). As with the first version you are a member of the Team Rainbow, a counter-terrorist military group ridding Las Vegas of those evil terrorists who are taking hostages and causing all kinds of mayhem.
My favorite part of this game is the Co-Op abilities. You and a friend, or even that random person that wandered into your house, can play the full campaign. As you complete missions you unlock items such as, weapons, weapon accessories, clothes, and armor.
Because the game is still fairly new there are currently a few glitches, but I am sure in time, all the issues will be resolved.
Graphics 4/5
There is definitely no slacking on the graphics. Each mission takes place in a detailed world around you. The extreme detail definitely helps with the overall realism. The graphics are sharper than ever.
Sound 4/5
The sounds is a very strong point. Ubisoft did a great job with realistic sounds. I was impressed with the the sound variations depending on what you shoot and where you shoot it. Throwing a grenade behind a door sounds different than tossing one in front of you. The sounds combined with the realistic animations of the characters and guns, I have to say it’s some of the greatest I have heard.
Story 3/5
The story is much like the first version, but in Vegas 2, you play as Bishop instead of Logan Keller. The overall story isn’t extremely exciting and is often confusing at times, but the gameplay definitely makes up for that. In the game there are events that take place before, during, and after the first version.
The game begins 5 years ago, Bishop, the lead character, is deployed in France for an operation where you must rescue hostages. After the mission the game jumps ahead to 2010 and you are now saving Las Vegas from a terrorist attack. Terrorists have taken control of Las Vegas and has created a lot of mayhem and panic from both civilians and the law enforcement agencies. As you go throughout the game you move away from Las Vegas and into small towns in Navada.
Your mission is to elimiate the terrorists and rescue many hostages.
Game-play 4/5
The game play has the option of either co-op or single player. I would definitely recommend co-op play, as it adds a sense of realism, and it can become a bit overwhelming having to control your team and fight off terrorists.
The gameplay combines the style and feel of a Rainbow Six game plus a whole lot of realistic movements. From opening a window before climbing over it, to hopping over a ledge designers put a lot of time into making everything perfect.
There are three difficulty levels instead of the two in the previous version.
The controls are very easy to remember, as there are not a lot of different controls, other than your squad leader commands. You can have your team breach rooms, hold the position, move, and regroup. Aiming and maneuvering is spot-on.
Multi-player 4/5
I really enjoy playing multiplayer, especially Co-Op, and this game brings that. You are not limited to just the campaign, but you can also take the game online for endless enjoyment playing against your own friends via LAN or against the rest of the world on the internet. I recommend having a headset or some way to communicate with your buddies or else it may get a little wild.
If you liked Army Of Two, you will definitely enjoy playing Vegas 2.

When it comes to action adventure games they are generally far and wide between. Luckily most of them tend to be pretty good. You have your classic ps2 Indiana Jones all the way to the PS3’s upcoming release of Indian Jones the game. Between the two you really only have one stand out, that stand out is “Uncharted Drakes Fortune” to say the least this game is above all else “Exciting, Awesome & Fun To Play!”
Story 5/5
What more needs to be said, this game is truly a great game to play. The cut scenes are just as nice as the game-play, but what really drives this game to the edge is the deep story behind it. Yes, they do leave you with a cliff hanger ending for future games, which would be great for this franchise.
The story takes place in multiple places, mainly rain-forest island type of places and a few indoor levels. You get to drive vehicles such as a jeep and a jet ski, there is even a level where you get to shoot the enemy pirates while your right hand girl is driving. She almost gets you killed… But her great looks make up for it!
The game starts you out on a ship as a basic level to teach you the mechanics you will use throughout the game such as shooting and hand to hand combat. On this ship you have discovered the great Eldorado’s coffin, but to your surprise all that’s in the coffin is a diary. Drakes diary to be exact, drake was a discoverer and was seeking the treasure above all other treasures the “Eldorado’s”. I don’t want to give away to many details as to the story line as I want to keep you intrigued to play the game fully as its well worth the 8-10 hours of game-play you get.
Graphics 5/5
Like the story in this game nothing less then the best would do when it comes to graphics. The weapons are decent looking, the character models are decent and the environments are stunning! I have never seen a rain-forest look so real, in-fact while playing I at times thought to myself whoa that had to be real! It truly is an amazing game that looks and acts great with a awesome frame-rate. I never had one slow-up while playing through the game.
A interesting feature the game brought into the mix was wetting of clothes, when you would jump into a lake or whatever when you come out your clothes are wet for some time till you dry or get to a new level. Very realistic looking water also presents itself in fashion in this game!
Game-play 5/5
The game-play of the game is decent, its a COD4 and Gears Of War Style combo, they took the best of these top games and made an awesome point and shoot system that works well. Likewise the hand to hand combat is easy to do and necessary in some parts of the game if you run out of ammo (happened to me 4 times) which is good in a way as it makes the game seem even more real.
They also brought some interesting puzzles into the game that made you think, however I would have liked to see a few more and a little less pirate shooting action which can get a bit repetitive as you only have maybe 5-7 different pirate characters that keep popping out with different clothes on.
Sound 5/5
Like the rest of this game the sound is excellent, when you shoot something you know it was shot with power. If your driving a vehicle you know what it sounds like and in great detail. They also have some subtle music playing throughout the game that leaves the player with suspense after each mission!
Multi-player 0/5
There is no MP to speak of in this game, but it doesn’t matter as the single-player campaign is worth way more then $60.00!

If your like us you have been waiting patiently for someone to release a FPS shooter that you can play for months on the PS3. COD4 is simply put “That Game!” with awesome game-play, great sound and effects you will be left fulfilled with all the shooting and running you will be doing. You can probably play the full single-player mode between 6-12 hours depending on the difficulty level. Although the single-player campaign is a bit short the graphics, game-play and multi-player make up the difference by giving you a game that you will play over at-least a couple times and multi-player matches for years to come! It truly is the best FPS COD game to date!
Graphics 4/5
Like most of the games on the PS3 the graphics are simply stunning! Very realistic environments and characters compliment the amazing looking weapons and explosions happening all around you. Our only complaint with the game is the fact that some textures stretch a bit weird in corners of buildings. But this is easily overlooked by all of the beauty the game has to offer. The textures alone are worth a thousand words and they really bring you to life! Everything from the ground to the vehicle models and more look stunning in every regard!
Sound 5/5
The sound in COD4 is simply breathtaking, you can hear the bullets whiz past you. Just as convincing is the massive explosion sounds you will hear throughout the game, along with the explosions and bullets flying all around making great sound you have the cut-scenes. While the cut-scense sound is not up-to par with that of some games it is easy to overlook that as the look and feel is simply amazing!
Story 2/5
To say the least the story in COD4 is weak, you are after one or two bad guys the alleged “Head Honchos” that need to be taken out. You take them out in the story, but both times you take them out are in a cut scene game-play combo which is very weak.
Game-play 5/5
If your like us you have been waiting for a killer FPS game to blow your socks off and make you a true PS3 lover! COD4 does this with flying colors making it simply the best FPS game to date on the PS3. The attention to details is what makes this Call Of Duty 4 game so great. Every weapon and explosive feels just as it should in this war shooter that is simply a must have for everyone with a PS3!
Multi-player 4/5
The multi-player of COD4 is one of the best multi-player experiences you will ever have. It rivals games like halo and gears of war with ease. You will find yourself coming back just for the MP experience for years to come!
