TMNT (360) 6.5/10 - Easy (good and a bad thing), fun, repetitive, super easy achievements, and boarder-line lawsuit material for how badly it copies from current & previous-gen Ninja Gaiden.
Juiced 2 (360) 7.5/10 - Not much to say, but if they give it a good enough budget and enough time and hype Juiced 3 could be a major hit |

It wasn't Ninja Gaiden that it copied, but the Prince of Persia. (They used a very similar formula, just tweaking the combat slightly) |

Gun (360) 8/10 Picked it up at circuit city for $8.96. Very underrated game. Im lovin the game so far. Graphics do suck but story is good so far. |

It feels like Ninja Gaiden to me. That platforming isn't extreme enough to be PoP caliber. Plus they're ninjas with ninja attack moves. |

TMNT was more of a PoP-style game, especially since it was developed by Ubisoft Montreal...the same people who developed the newer PoP games.

AitD sucks, I spent an hour trying to avoid the moving land scars and just gave up on the game  Glad I rented it.
TMNT feels like a mix of PoP and Ninja Gaiden after beating it this morning. The platforming is pretty softcore compared to PoP until you get to the end. I guess you could call it watered down PoP if you want. Either way I got 1000/1000 in under 5 hours lol |

Watered down PoP is a good description. It was halfway enjoyable, though.

For the entire 3 hours it took to get 1000/1000, I enjoyed myself. I promptly saw [and enjoyed] the movie post-haste./ I can't get enough of these kids' games. |

Far Cry - 8/10 - I'm on the level "Boat" now. Jesus. Christ. I said the difficulty was perfect before but I'm starting to think this game is really hard  If you get stuck on a checkpoint without ammo you're freaking screwed. At least there aren't any trigens on this level yet so it's a blast

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (PSP) - 6/10
Terribly disappointed. The controls are horrible even when I customized them. I constantly fought the camera. While I like the idea of "recruiting" enemies, it would be better if they did more than hide in a box, in the single player at least. The graphics were good but I was thrown by the comic style cutscenes after all the cinematics that are normally in MGS games.

Far Cry - 8/10 - "Beat it" ... Ok I beat levels 1-19... Level 20 is ridiculous... I must be a noob but it's about as bad as those Doom joke WADs where the mapper fills up a room with cyberdemons and then gives you a pistol. Trigens are terrible enemies (The Big Boys with the rocket launchers...) I'm not usually one to complain about difficulty but fill a level with those, shield mercs, and an insane boss in a tiny room (all with almost no guns besides what you brought with you to the level... which was crap for me) and it's too damn difficult to bother. I used god mode, something I'm normally totally against and was just blown away by how difficult the level would have been to play through. It would have taken days... days I didn't have the patience for.

Dark Sector (PS3) - 7.5/10 - Mix 1 part Gears of War with 1 part Krull with 1 part Guyver (the anime, not McGuyver) and you have this. I enjoyed myself throughout although this seemed a little long-winded...it could have been cut short sooner. But otherwise it's a really solid game that is quite fun. Not earth-shattering by any means but overall it's fun given the current price range. I would recommend this.  |

Update: Damn, this game DRAGS. I'm half-way through and the battles are too frequent and too easy (fly around, encounter enemies, hit A eight times, fin). I've long accepted that RPGs are made for teenagers and this is no exception; the story is boring, the character's one-dimensional, the dialog either overly trite or overly corny, and the music 100% generic. That the decisions you make, when prompted, affect how you're perceived in the world is neat, but when you have only two options and the choice is plain as day nine times out of 10, has the feature really been utilized well?
Overall, pretty let down with both this and the last "great" Gamecube title I played (Eternal Darkness).

I have a hard time believing this was ever great. Everything this game did has been done - and it had been done for years and years and years.

I think it was the RPG drought on the DC that led people to believe it was so great. I thoroughly enjoyed it back then because it looked so good and the discoveries were something new. I wont ever play it again, mostly for fear of being horribly dissapointed.

Flying around waiting for your compass to spin is not my idea of a good time! But yeah, I would say avoid it.

I played the GC shortly after it came out. Frankly, I didn't like it either.

I've been trying to start Etrian Odyssey for a couple weeks. I make my guild, always named "Lollipop", create my characters, get to Level 1, get destroyed, get frustrated, and quit. I would say I'm nearing 12 official start-n-quits.
Awesome game.

That was pretty much the exact same experience I had with it.
