Game reviews.
Burnout: Paradise City (Xbox 360) - Fun, can be a bit repetitive when unable to win the needed race to advance in the game. Great graphics and crash physics. Cool cars to earn and win. The paint shops can put out some really excellent color schemes. Overall a great time killer.
Army of Two (Xbox 360) - A cool 3rd person shooter game meant to be played with a gaming buddy. Interesting missions, sweet weapon upgrades and cool puzzles that require you and your partner to work together. I liked the Arrgo feature and we used it...a lot. I liked the .50 caliber sniper rifle, it came in way handy at one part or we probably would have gotten our asses handed to us. The control scheme could use some work, especially when it comes to switching between weapons. We played it for 2 days straight and finished it off on easy. I can see it being way tougher when you increase the difficulty. The sequal is supposed to come out the end of the year and sport some fixes to the control layout plus some new features, so we'll probably be playing it at some point after it's released.
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (Wii) - Just plain fun. Period. Building required objects out of LEGO blocks? And then smashing them? Reminds me of being a kid. The puzzles aren't too complicated and needing different characters to completely access the items in each level gives it good replay value. Plus who wouldn't want to be Indy with his trusty whip? The graphics make the LEGO characters come to life and I totally dig how they break apart when they "die".
