COD Black Ops

I hate and love this game, it really pisses me off how much of a big sucsses it was and I don't blame it. I like every kid in the milky way got this game within the month it came out, I think it starts out in a chair but this game went by far to fast for me. I do however like how they explain no controls or objectives because if you have this game you already now how to play it and could desire the controls faster then you breath. The campain is a stage at best but I think it was just showing off with dramatic plot twists and deaths in every minute.
Zombies, oh my god zombies. This game just shot up 15 marks, wow I can't belive they really hit the nail on th- oh, wait it's full of racist stereotypes and unrealistic hard to follow plots... Yeah. The zombies was a bit of a crowd pleaser but it really dose do what I want in a zombie game.
Multiplayer... No

Characters, OK do you really care? Fine, you play the gritty American Alex maison and I hated him as soon as he opened his pie scoffing American face. Everyone eles was ether Russian or annoying or in quite a lot of cases dead. How do I describe this game... COD

Kill Zone2

Wow this game is bad, I am really going to enjoy reviewing this because reviewing a bad game is amazingly fun, lets keep track of how many problems there are.
Kill Zone2 at a first glance looks like a long planned out,well done game, the graphics are stunning and it looks pretty intense, but this game showed me to never judge a book by its cover as we get a horrible story about some kind of war between your guys and the Helgans, but by what the guy was saying he sounded like some kind of future Hitler which is good because he's the ambassador for the aliens, Problem number 1, the game drags it out for so long it gets dull, showing off its lovely graphics trying to hide the fact that NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR STUPID WAR.Thank god for the skip button
The cut seen finally ends and... Problem number 2, the controls for shooting and aiming, why is it so hard to just (PS3 controls) have L1 to aim, L2 to shoot. No, this game feels it has to be original and makes you (still PS3 controls) press down on the right analog stick to aim and R1 to shoot and you have to move your camera with the right analog stick and ARGHHHH, I think your purposely trying to annoy me. You do play as Sev, the game assumes you played the first game and makes references. problem number 3, They make everyone in this game annoying and ether black or a red neck. All of them clearly love Their America loads an...Problem number 4 WHERE DO THEY COME FROM. The game just forgets what planet they're from never mind country, I'm going to assume your human. So we fight the infamous Helgans and realise that all your comrades are made of paper-mache, not the annoying main characters though, no, they're far to annoying to die( notice that I haven't put this as a problem because I expected nothing else from an awful FPS)  You kill a few guys and blow up some bridges but... The final Problem, It all feels quit unreal, everything has a small delaying time which gives a sticky feel to the game, like your not really controlling 
Sev but the guy giving orders to him which ruins the First Person effect quit a bit.

There are probably quit a lot more things wrong with this game but I stopped playing after the first mission, all these problems came from the first 5 MINUTES of the game, that is an all time low for gaming except for maybe Eye pets but I'm just glad I don't have to review that. NO. NO. NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Saints Row2

OK let me get this out of the way before I start my review, Gamer Kid is every THURSDAY evening. As you might have noticed today is not Thursday, I'm posting this today because I'm going to be away for Thursday. Now we can get on with the review.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I still don't know if I like this game or not, I've come to the conclusion that this game is like a knitted sweater brought to you in bubble wrap, you play with the bubble wrap and at first it's fun but then you're going to realise that all you've got is an itchy sweater. So you start off the game in jail, talk about missing the action. I never played the first game but every one reminds you that at the end of that game you are cooked to perfection in a boat. Because of this you get plastic surgery in jail and get to choose what you look like. Of course, I made mine a obese black man with a cockney accent. Oh and theirs this long running joke where your old friends will say you look different and ask's if you did something with your hair.A ha ha ha oh dear. The game then pushes you on Wherevervilll and reveals its sandbox nature. Now if your new to the concept of gaming then you probably don't know what a Sandbox game is so here is a brief history of sandbox's. The first sandbox and the most famous is Grand Theft Auto where you go wild in a city, they do have a story and a set mission to do but you will probably not do them and instead just muck around. Think of a sand pit, it doesn't tell you what to do just lets you do it yourself. Their is a big difference between this and Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row is more fun. Its silly and, like bubble wrapper, fun. Until later. I get this with most sandbox's, they become mundane and dull. I think that this game has a grudge against bikers because if you hit a step at 10mph you might as well write your will which is really annoying, so I immediately bought a motorcycle to show the game who's boss and quit frankly it was awesome, you could turn speed bumps into ramps and pop wheelies. This dose however bring me onto my final complaint and it is a big one. the vehicles, not the cars and motorbikes but any other one, the boats in particularly, I HATED THEM, and it wouldn't be such a big complainant if they didn't constantly make you use them. its like riding a cat having a fit on roller blades. I wouldn't say that this is a bad game but its not exactly on the list, its just really dumb. That sums it up.

Top 10 Games

Why hello there, welcome to the very first instalment of Gamer Kid. I'm going to start off with my Top ten games, so you know what I'm into.

10:GUITAR HERO 1-3

I've only put up to 3 because in my mind there are only 3. I like these games because I like rock, but there is something fun about being rewarded for hitting the right buttons in order. But as you can see it's only 9 because there is something degrading about it, like it's saying " Oh I'm sorry, you're not good enough to play a real guitar, here, have this thing that looks like a guitar but is actually nothing like a guitar." Still I recommend this game to any one who wishes they could play the guitar, but can't because they suck. i'd say its like drinking, sad on your own but great fun with a friend.

9:TIME SPLITTERS 3- FUTURE  PERFECT

This game is amazing, I really like it. It really stood out in the Time Splitters series, I really wish I could
put it higher on my list but it could be much better, the reason it stands out is because it's funny , I only played a bit of Time Splitters 2  and it was really dull, just another FPS. The problem is that funny is all it's got. Everything else is just OK. Nothing special. I do however like the story and the puzzles. SPOILER ALERT, SPOILER ALERT there is a great part in it where you encounter a locked door and your past self comes out of a worm hole has a conversation with you, gives you the key and leaves, really later on, you see a worm hole go through it and play the same cut seen. SPOILER ALERT OVER

8.Saints Row 2
This is ridiculously fun, not necessarily a good game but so much fun, its like if grand theft ato was bright colorful and had a hell of alot more freedom, speaking of GTA4, i got this game before GTA4 and it made me want to go and play more saints row, i cant describe to you why this game is more fun so im going to tell you some things you can do (its esier with cheats but that's just me) ride a UFO, gun old people down in a man-kine, kill someone and then press a button that makes him slowly pretend to teabag them while sayin "i brought you a present". OK pretty immature but what did you expect from a game where you can play as an obese man with a Cockney accent and a traffic cone on his head surfing on a car i am not joking.       

7:RESIDENT EVIL 4

There is something about zombies that I love and I have no idea what it is. The resident evil sires is one I have yet to play but I am told that I shouldn't because this is the only good one. In this game you play as Leo, a survivor of the zombie outbreak on a mission to rescue the president s daughter from blah blah blah. Lets just sum it up and say kill all the zombies. this game really shouldn't have a plot. To make a good story for a zombie game you simple say "you good, zombies bad, any questions." e.g Left 4 dead. To sum it up I'd say that this game is some mindless zombie fun.

6:METROID PRIME

This is another example of the old Nintendo. I must admit that I never completed this game but that really doesn't matter, I think games are to easy now anyway. You probably know Samus and if you don't you should be ashamed. Samus is the heroin for Nintendo who tragically  passed away upon the release of Metroid Other M. this however is a great game because it is still one of the most puzzling games I've ever played and I love it. SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT my favourite part is the very first boss which
(I am not joking) is a giant nit. Really, if you can find me a better boss fight than Samus VS A GIANT FLIPPING NIT then please tell me SPOILER ALERT OVER

Hi again, now we're down to the top 5, I'm gunna  recommend all these games to you especially the NO#1

5.Dead Rising 2
now this is near perfection in zombie fun, you got a ridiculous protagonist as in *thats ridiculous, hes taking himself seriously in women's clothes and groucho marks glasses* you got a shopping center bursting with zombies and finaly the best part is the weapons, the game has ridiculus weapons  scattered e.g. a giant statue of liberty torch, but the real fun is in the combinations e.g. knife gloves, boxer gloves with wolverine stile knifes, yet again it has a stupid story line and for some reason you have a time limit t go to the next mission or it tells you that you LITERALLY  FAILD EVERYTHING EVER. its just there to piss me off. still a wonderful way to spend an evening... oh yeah and there is a multiplayer that actually surprised me and... yeah it was utter shit, but it did try. 

4:THE PRINCE OF PERSIA TRILOGY

I am a big fan of Prince Of Persia and can put it at number 3 without a second thought. I refuse to acknowledge the existence of any of the other games. The even made an awful film about it. but I'm not going to dwell on that. The almost got it right with Sands Of Time by giving it amazing puzzles like the original platform game (the first game) but made the combat awful and knocking it down a notch. On the next game, Warrior Within, the did exactly the opposite, I can see there point though so I can't really blame them. On the last game, Two Thrones, they tried to combine the great gameplay  with awesome combat but must of got lost somewhere on the way as it isn't the best game ever created. I cant decide which of the three is better so I'm lucky I bought them as a box set.

3: LEFT 4 DEAD2

As I said earlier, I love zombies, and when it comes to zombies Left 4 Dead2 takes the biscuit. you might of noticed that I haven't put Left 4 Dead on and that is for the simple reason that I haven't played it. The only problem is that it's best played with 4 friends as the title suggests and I'm sure it great with 4 friends but I haven't got 4 friends who want to sit in my room and play Left 4 Dead2. Still, just amazing. I do love the extra thing about special zombies and LOVE the online thing where you can play as a special zombie, but it can't get bonus marks for that because its ONLINE and as you might of guessed, i hate online. Still. Great.

2:Half life
oh this game kicks ASS, you play as everyone's favourite silent protagonist, Gordon freeman, a scientist who while doing an experiment cocks it u big time and unleashes aliens, talk about messing up, you solve puzzles  while shooting aliens and trying to escape the facility, the game is awesome, the sequel is awesome as well, this is defiantly the half life franchise that is awesome and at no.2.

wait a minute, half life is one of the greatest games ever, what could possible be.. ok its bloody obvious.

And Finally...
1:PORTAL

This is the greatest game to this day. I haven't got anything bad to say about this game. Really. I rarely say this but I can't  wait for the sequel to come out. This game reminded me that there is a God and its name is Valve.
Every game they created is just pure win. Win win win win win win win win.  If you haven't heard of portal then here is a quick summery, you play a woman in a weird science lab and you have to complete levels using the magic of portals. you then obtain one of the greatest guns in the world, the portal gun. You are guided by probably one of the best voice actors ever. You might have heard this on the internet and not know en what it is but all the way through the game, the robot voice promises you cake, if you are smart you might find a hidden room where written on the wall in blood is the words "the cake is a lie."
Pure genius 

 Now you know my top 10 favourite games you can go out and buy them, go on, off you pop.
see you later
