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.
