Video Games You Play Reviews

I thought Id make this thread like the one in the movies topic, for video games. Just name the last video game you have played and offer your review and opinion on it, and what can make it better for a possible sequel or redo.

Also, you can add any games you are looking forward to and why

Im getting ready to play DiRT 3 and Assassins Creed 1 (I know Im behind on this one), so Ill offer my thoughts a little later....

We could also make this into a thread for games you're looking into buying as well. Maybe add that to your post.

Right now, I am playing NCAA. We already have a thread for it so I am not going to get much into depth but, Great game. A couple glitches, including an annoying Defensive Secondary system but, it's far from a game killer. Also can be patched until next year where they can really upgrade it.

I am going to pass on Madden this year, and probably get FIFA in late September. Maybe early October depending on how I am doing with NCAA. Fifa is going to be great since I passed on it last year, and I am actually getting kinda hungry to play it.

Currently playing NCAA 12 and WWE All Stars on the PS3.

On the Wii, I play NHL Slapshot and Just Dance 2 with my kids.

All of them are fun.

Good idea, I added it. Thanks

Dirt 3

I'll start by saying this is a great game. The level of realism has def improved from DiRT 2. While you race you now have your wiper blades that move when stuff gets on your windows (incl when snow, rain, etc). Spectators now run onto and off of the roads in front of you off into the distance. Your avatar (if on the 360) hangs as a rear mirror ornament. The eviroments are much more lush and realistic. Theres now snow, rain, etc. basically alot more weather effects. New locations. I didnt notice a big diff in the way it drives compared to DiRT 2, but it felt more realistic and improved. You can connect to your You Tube account and upload replays of your races. As for car variety I havent gotten far enough to unlock alot of cars, as I go along I'll comment on that later, but you dont start out with a whole lot of options, I picked a peugeot.

What I do wish is that they would have taken a page out of PGR4 in that I think snow and rain should cling to the car. Now I have only played a little so it may happen, but I didnt realy see it. I think the snow could have been down a bt more realistically. Such as snow humps and deeper snow in the roads.

Granted so far, I really like this alot over DiRT 2. I'll give it a 8/10. I'll also recommend it to anyone here thats into rally or offroad racing. Overall good game.
