Pros

1. A new take on an old genre… Fighting takes place in the States.
2. Most of the battles were pretty epic.
3. Plethora of different firearms.
4. Vehicle/Air missions help add variety.

Cons

1. Performance was inconsistent, I would have random pops and clicks from the audio, and the game would also stutter pretty badly resulting in a few lag deaths.
2. No Demo? There should at least be a MP demo or something… it’s a bit ridiculous not to include one.
3. Single Player was extremely short… took me somewhere between 3-4 hours to beat.
4. Even though there were a lot of weapons to choose from, they didn’t feel or shoot very differently.

Conclusion
It was pretty fun… I love a good FPS and it was nice to see an FPS based in the States where you play a US insurgent. The controls felt pretty good, and the mixture of vehicle and air missions was much needed. However, this is not a $50 dollar game, it was short, glitchy, and there was no demo. I’d say it’s worth somewhere around $30.

Quote – Dynamedion worked with Reakktor in the development of the soundtracks used for Black Prophecy, if you have watched the two official trailers then you will have heard some of Dynamedion’s work. Reakktor also contracted Dynamedion to work on their previous MMO, Neocron 2.

IMHO – The track is awesome, it reminds me of the lord of the rings soundtrack.  I just wish they had given us more than 2 minutes worth.

Terminator Salvation however looks decent, I really hope the gameplay is up to par with games we have today.  It reminds me of Gears of War which I really enjoyed.  The game is set to be released 2 days before the movie on May 19th.

I’m trying to get a copy of this game as you read this, I’m a huge fan of sim games, but I’m not a great fan of the KA-50.  Being an American I really would love to fly the Apache.  I’m sure someone will, if not already, make a Apache mod for it.  Check out the video below, Glowing Amraam could make me want to buy a carebear video game with the way the make their vids.

The next Video is a new fresh rendition of Ghostbusters for the PC, Xbox360, Wii, PS3, PS2, Nintendo DS with a release date of June 16, 2009.  It looks fun, I just hope they throw in some nice old school GB tunes and voices, the gameplay looks enticing enough.  Watch the guy playing the game, he really shakespeares it up for you at the end.

Last but not least, Black Prophecy.  I think this will be one of my most anticipated games of 2009.  The last space flight game I remember playing was Star Wars X Wing on a 486pc.  I am ready for a new one, and with the ability to play online and create teams!! I signed up for the beta so keep your fingers crossed for me. I have yet to ever get accepted for a game beta. Release date is slated for Q1 2009, so by my calculations they’re late.
