Red Faction Guerilla For The PS3 Game Review

Taking up on the Original Red Faction and set 50 years after the events of that game, Guerrilla is a TPS that does not fail to impress. As an insurgent in the reestablished guerrilla group called Red Faction, rebels on Mars battle for freedom from the Earth Defense Force. Destruction is a keyword in the gameplay and the combat is fast and furious.

The Ultor Corporation had been oppressing people for years. The Red Faction overthrows it. A distress signals sends the Earth Defense Force to Mars. With a fleet of warships they aim to bring justice and normalcy back to Mars. They do succeed in establishing justice. However when the colonists have to leave their homes due to greedy corporations from planet earth, the EDF adopts the same tactics it once was against.

Alec Mason who has paid the price of the EDF’s high handedness bands together with other revolutionaries to bring freedom to Mars once again. Think of this as a great revolutionary saga, like the French Revolution, perhaps, except that it is set in the future.

There are some features of this game that stand out more than others. These are the open world guerrilla warfare, geo-mod technology, the gameplay, the sci-fi setting and more. Enjoy guerrilla warfare at its best. The cost of this game is $56.99 on Amazon.

Bionic Commando For the PS3 Game Review

Bionic Commando from Capcom isn’t the most exciting game around though it has a few moments of it’s own. This Third Person Action game puts so many possibilities before you. In a minute they are replaced by others – like a tease. The gunplay is limp and aside from a few good moments this game is the average of average games…nothing special really.

There are ideational errors in the creation of this game. The good aspects are eclipsed by other ideas…like a group project gone wrong. Although the bionic arm is fun, it can’t carry the game to the level of real enjoyment.

The encounters with enemies are lifeless because of the crummy weapons. You can die quick. Mediocre entertainment at its mediocre best is all I can say for this game. Apart from bare hand/leg maneouvres this game is no fun.

Nathan Spencer is not a highly likeable protagonist. He is a stumbling block of the story instead. There is multiplayer support for up to 10 people. Bionic Commando from Capcom costts $56.99. If you are a die hard fan of the original game go for it. Otherwise there are many other great games out there.
