Hello yet again everyone, I recently bought Crackdown 2 for my birthday and here's my review!
In Crackdown 2 you are an agent recruited by the agency to stop and destroy 2 major threats. First is Cell, a rebellious terrorist group determined to abolish the agency, your second enemy are "Freaks" a mutated life-form who only come out at night and reek havoc around Pacific City. This sounds like a pretty basic story-line and if you read that in a professional review that would instantly put you off the whole game, but it's quite a bit more complicated than that. Your agent has to activate "Absorption Units" which when you activate all "AU's" in one area you deploy 1 of 9 beacons which you must protect from aggravated Freaks who will attempt to stop you from activating the beacons. That's pretty much the story-line, there is also 5 skills for you to train to a maximum of 6 levels. These skills are Agility (Climbing buildings and collecting agility orbs etc.), Strength, Driving, Demolition (Destroying enemies with grenades/explosives). As you progress through these skills you unlock special armour, abilities, weapons and explosives. To achieve these levels are simple for agility you collect agility orbs that are usually on buildings, towers or collecting Renegade Agility orbs which you chase, to level up in Strength you basically just melee attack Cell units or Freaks, Demolition is just killing enemies with explosives and finally to level up in Driving you must either run over Cell units and Freaks or you can catch Renegade Driving Orbs. There is extra objectives in this game such as Freak Breaches and Cell Strongholds which can help you level up in some skills. The actual gameplay aspect in this game is fantastic! The 3rd person is really easy to use along with the automatic aiming system. Now for the multiplayer mode of the game which is quite disappointing, you can play with 4 players around Pacific City in free roam and complete the hosts campaign with them which is really fun with friends but sometimes you get immature little kids. The other multiplayer games are arenas which you can play Rocket Tag, Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch which are the hardest and therefore the worst aspects of Crackdown 2. I highly reccomend this game to all gamers no matter what your gaming style is! I give Crackdown 2 a 9/10! I hope this review has helped you decide whether you should or shold not purchase Crackdown 2 either way thank you for raking your time to read my Crackdown 2 review.
Badger.

My Naughty Bear Review!
Hello again everyone and I was thinking about writing a review and well here it is! It would mean it to me if you could please read my review and possibly give some feedback of it.
Naughty Bear was released around a month ago and has had mixed reviews from sites such as IGN and eurogamer.com. Some gamers have called Naughty Bear a "marmite" game (You either hate it or love it) and I have to say that I am inbetween these two opinions. The basic plot of Naughty Bear is about a bear called Naughty Bear (Coincidence!) who is such a naughty bear that all the other bears on Paradise island never invite him to any of their parties and eventually they attempt to get rid of Naughty thus he seeks more revenge. The plot would make you think the game is quite sick and twisted right? Wrong, the game has no feel of evilness to it. Now, I'm not saying it sucks or anything but I think many people will agree that it would've been much better as an Xbox Live arcade game. The points system in Naughty Bear is by far the best I've ever seen in any game, it's just so simple to understand it's brilliant! You kill a bear normally with a weapon that gets you some points, you kill them with the weapon's "special attack" (As I call them) you get even more points, you kill them by a sabotaged object you get around the same amount of points as the special attack and finally if you drive a bear insane it "puts them over the edge" they commit suicide (If they have a weapon they use that). The last part of the game I'm going to mention is the graphics, now I understand and I hope you will also that you purchase the game to play it not look at the graphics, but Naughty Bear's graphics are quite different to other games. The textures of the bears, plants, houses etc. to me look rather smooth and fine but with a game like Naughty Bear I would rather have cell shaded graphics similar to Crackdown 2. The multiplayer aspect of this game just feels like a wasted part of the game. There are 4 gametypes in Naughty Bear with a maximum of 4 players a game with no split-screen or System Link which is a big let down. Another problem with the multiplayer is that it is usually difficult to connect to a friend. In a nutshell Naughty Bear is a marmite game and is something different to the games world and I give it a 7/10!
Thank you for taking your time for reading this review and please provide feedback which would be very appreciated!
