Homefront
About
Name - Homefront
Publisher - THQ
Developer - Kaos Studios
Release Date - March 15, 2011
Game Type - Shooter
Platform(s) - Xbox360, Playstation3, Microsoft Windows
Synopsis
In 2013, one year after the death of North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il (which, incidentally, came in December 2011, several months after the game's release), his son and successor, Kim Jong-un, reunites North and South Korea to form the Greater Korean Republic (GKR), a technological and economic global power. By 2015, a war between Iran and Saudi Arabia, both now nuclear-armed states, has devastated the global oil supply, causing prices to skyrocket. This precipitates extreme economic turmoil and massive social unrest in the U.S. Subsequently, in 2017, the U.S. military recalls much of its overseas presence, particularly in the Pacific. A year later, Japan is easily conquered by the GKR.
Gameplay
The point of Homefront is that you are in the resistance and you have to fight your way through the corrupt military and gain your freedom.
Graphics
The graphics aren't up to standard for the year of it's release but in my opinion the developers have put alot more detail into the gameplay and plot.
Controls

The controls are similar as most FPS so if you have any experience with First person shooters you will have no problem getting used to these controls.
Characters
Robert Jacobs
Robert Jacobs is the main character in Homefront. He is a former Marine helicopter pilot recruited by the American Resistance.
Connor Morgan
Connor Morgan was a former soldier, and a key combat figure for the American Resistance.
Rianna
Rianna is a woman from northern Colorado. She is an expert hunter, who answered the call to join the American Resistance.
Kim Jong-un
Kim Jong-un is the leader of the Greater Korean Republic and the main antagonist of the Homefront franchise.
Final Score
My final score is 8/10.
The Gameplay is good, and so is so story line but I think the graphics could be more up to date as the game was released in 2011 and the graphics are rather poor.

Synopsis
Pong is a two-dimensional sports game that simulates table tennis. The player controls an in-game paddle by moving it vertically across the left side of the screen, and can compete against either a computer controlled opponent or another player controlling a second paddle on the opposing side. Players use the paddles to hit a ball back and forth. The aim is for a player to earn more points than the opponent; points are earned when one fails to return the ball to the other.
Story
The story of Pong is as told: you are a little block figure in a little block world where you must not allow the little block ball get past your sneaky block ways. Very difficult after the opponent and you hit the ball back in forth for quite some time, which is very hard to do as the little ball gets pretty fast, and the paddle movement is pretty slow.
Gameplay [Single & Multiplayer]
The Gameplay is very simple, you must not allow the little ball get past your paddle, or the opponent gets a point. You can play up to certain points: 1, 5, 10, and 20 point games, I usually play 5 point games because they're nice and fast.
You can also play with a friend, which is much more fun then splitscreening Call of Duty games as there aren't any screen-looking being done!
Graphics
The graphics, in my opinion are great. The retro feeling makes them much better then they actually are, and on the Xbox Indie version it actually looks a little bit more modern then the original Atari version.
Controls
I played this on xbox, and the controls are simple. You use the LS to move your paddle up and down, although it's pretty slow, which can get a bit tricky if you and the opponent are hitting the ball back and forth for a while.
Rating
Gameplay 10/10

Controls 10/10

I have updated this post a little bit, made it a bit more longer then i could.

I am hoping my topic will replace this other review for "The Impossible Game". There is an image in the review below but I couldn't copy it, sorry.
The Impossible Game
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Game Information
Name: The Impossible Game
Type: Platformer
Release date: 23rd November 2009
Publisher: Xbox Live indie games.
Price: 80 MSP, $2
Console: Xbox360, Playstation 3, Psp, Iphone/Ipods, Android phones & online game.
Creator: FlukeDude
Synopsis
Jump over spikes and jump on blocks to get to the end. Sounds easy? It's quite possibly the world's hardest game.
Game play
The game objective is very simple. Tap one button (A) and jump over spikes and onto blocks till the end of the track avoiding black bold areas on the ground. As the game gets further in the jumps get faster and faster and your reactions have to speed up. This game is extremely addictive. It takes the average person over 5000 attempts to complete the game. It has very catchy, techno music that is played during the survival mode and suits the jump times perfectly. However there is another game mode called practise mode where the player can place markers/flags as to where they re-spawn and can practise the part of the course over and over without having to start from the beginning. The game is based on the timing of every jump. There are unlockable achievements but they do not count towards your Gamerscore. Sadly this game is one-player only.
Controls
On the Xbox 360 the controls are very simple. Use the A button to jump, the Y button to enter practice mode, the Back button to enter survival mode and the RT button to swap between flags. Once in practice mode, every time the Y button is pressed another flag pops up. For the Playstation 3, the controls are the equivalent to Xbox. On the iPad/iPhone/iPod all the player has to do it tap the screen to make the box jump.
Graphics
The graphics are nothing to worry about on this game as they do not affect game play. You are a orange box which glides over a black line which is the floor. The game consists of blue triangles with a white outline, coloured black boxes which can be jumped on but not touched at the side and thicker parts of the ground which cannot be touched, else its game over. The background is all blue slowly changing from a lighter blue at the top to nearly black at the bottom. Overall the graphics are really clear and there are no problems.
Levels
-Fire Aura (Bought separately)
-Chaoz Fantasy
-Heaven
-Phazd
All of the levels have a different song playing in the background and the levels are named after the songs names.
Evaluation
This game is one of the most addictive games I have ever played and it was also quite cheap to buy. It is definitely worth every Microsoft Point I spent on it. This game never gets old. A great feature is that once you buy the level pack they add others into it for free. I am very happy I bought it two years ago now and still play it quite often trying to get further than before. If you like a challenge, then this is the game for you.

Players - 1 Player only.
Synopsis.
Jump over spikes and jump on blocks to get to the end. Sounds easy? It's quite possibly the world's hardest game.
Gameplay.
There isn't much to say really about the gameplay of this Indie game. You play as an orange square and have to jump over many obstacles intil you reach the end, but as you progress further the obstacles get harder and require a faster reaction time. You have two game modes for this the Original and "Practise". In the original game mode you continuously play the course and reset from the very beginning if you "die". In practise mode you can repeatedly place flags to reset from when you die. You also have set music for the each mode and while playing this one you have some club Rave/Techno music playing. but while you play practise mode you have a slow, melodic, calming music playing it helps to concentrate more with but alas that too can get boring after a couple hundred games.
Controls.
For the Xbox 360 the controls are simple, enough said. The main button you will be using for this game is the A buttom and that corresponds to jump. But if you wish to enter practise mode feel free at any point to press Y, This automatically enters practise mode and each time Y is pressed and new checkpoint flag will be placed you can change where you start from each of this flags by cycling through them with the left and right triggers. The same controls correspond on the Playstation 3 aswell with X being jump Triangle place flags and left and right triggers to cycle through.
Graphics.
Again not much you can really say about the graphics.. There is an orange/red (depending how you see it) jumping along a thin line with black boxes and spikes as obstacles you also have the occasional Thick black line that if you touch you die. There isn't much else to talk about as the backdrop is a sheet of blue and the boxes and spikes have a outline of white to make them show up more clearly. That's all you can say about this really.
My opinion.
This game being called "The Impossible Game" for me is exactly that but unlike other games that get progressively harder while playing, this one you won't get angry/wound up as easily. So for me this game will live on forever for being the impossible game.
My rating of this, great game, very addictive and also challenging all the aspects I look for in a game so I'll be giving this game a 8/10. Definitely a game to try.

Synopsis:
Borderlands 2 is a space western first-person shooter video game with role-playing elements, that was developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. It is the sequel to 2009's Borderlands and was released for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms.
Story:
The game begins by informing you of your location on the planet of pandora. We are introduced to the four new characters (Axton, Maya, Salvador, and Zero). There is a opening cutscene where you get to see these new characters in action. Early in the game, the vault hunters are leaded by Claptrap. Claptrap arms them with the supplies they need and makes sure the hunters are safe. Later on, the vault hunters are given there main task.The vault hunters must obtain the means to get into the Hyperion base get the vault key and stop Jack from awakening the Warrior.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is completely amazing. The game is knowed for it's great co-op gameplay and it does not disappoint. You can tag along with four of you friends and play for a while with out feeling tired of the game. The game has unique features most other games do not have.For example, you can sell your guns to earn money for new items and over millions of guns.Borderlands 2 is also known for it 's large amount of guns in the game. As most of you may know this game is just co-op so there is no private match or anything else. There is nothing else other than co-op, but you can still challenge a friend to a duel while in co-op.
So as you can tell this game has never ending fun.
So as you can tell this game has never ending fun.
Graphics:
When I first saw a Borderlands gameplay, I was not a fan of the graphics. After playing the game, I can tell you the graphics fit in perfectly and the game has a great feel to it. The game has cartoon graphics which goes great with the game. The graphics is what makes Borderlands unique. If they had better graphics we would think that we are playing Cod or BF3. So to anyone questioning the graphics don't worry it fits the game fine.
Controls:
The controls are very basic and easy to learn. For someone coming to borderlands from a game such as Cod you will catch easy because it has similar controls. The controls are great and not confusing like when you play most new games for the first time. I knew the controls in two minutes after first playing. Overall easy and basic controls
Rating: 9/10
Great game as I stated before. Borderlands would be a lot of fun if you have four friends to play with for the complete co-op experience. Borderlands has over thirty hours of gameplay, but even after that you still find yourself playing the game. There is so many things to keep you busy such as leveling up, getting strong guns, and much much more. Overall I give this game a 9/10 and recommend to everyone who wants a a new first person shooter to play.

Dirt 2 has very nice graphics there realistic to a certain point but do not take away from the game as far as gamplay or the story goes. The graphics in Dirt2 are appealing to the eye, the grass and shubs are realistic and smooth as well as the road and dirt transitions and terrains.
Graphics Rating
7.5/10
Examples:
Controls:
The controls are pretty straight forward and simple because its a racing game gas, brake, and steering make it not a hard game to play.
Controls Rating:
10/10
Overall Rating: 8/10/10 Dirt 2 is simply a racing game and is very fun i would recommend to everyone to at least download the demo. overall very fun start to finish

Synopsis: Crysis 2 drops players into a devastated New York in the midst of an attack by a frightening alien species. The alien enemies are armed with deadly weaponry and exceptional sensory abilities that test players skill and push them to the limit. These terrifying invaders stalk the streets of New York, leaving the streets in chaos and the skyline in flaming ruin.
Surrounded by catastrophic destruction, players harness the superhuman abilities of the Nanosuit to level the playing field, becoming the ultimate weapon on a mission to save New York.
Graphics/Sound: The graphics and sound in Crysis 2 are top of the line. While I only played it on the Xbox 360, the graphics were by far the best I had ever seen, and the sound was incredible. All of the voices sounded real, the characters looked alive, and it was all topped off by a musical score composed by Hans Zimmer. The game runs on the powerful CryEngine 3.
Gameplay: The gameplay is great, like a mix of Call of Duty and Halo, taking the best things from each game and combining them. From the CoD side, you have custom classes, killstreaks, and titles that you can customize. From the Halo side, there are futuristic weapons and abilities, the feeling of being a super soldier, and just the slick feel that Halo has. The multiplayer is fun, but the campaign can get a bit boring or annoying at times.

Gears Of War Review
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Release Date : November 07,2006
Genre : Shooter
Style : Third Person Shooter
Multiplayer : 2-8 Players
Rated : Mature(17+)
Developers : Epic
Publishers : Microsoft Game Studios
Systems: Xbox Only
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Synopsis According to Wiki
Gears of War is a military science fiction third-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios. It was initially released as an exclusive title for the Xbox 360 in November 2006 in North America, Australia, and most of Europe and included a "Limited Collector's Edition" with added content and an art book titled Destroyed Beauty that detailed much of the game's back-story. Despite the initial statements of Xbox 360 exclusivity, a Microsoft Windows version of the game was developed in conjunction with People Can Fly and released a year later, featuring new content including additional campaign levels, a new multiplayer game mode, and Games for Windows Live functionality.
The game focuses on the troops of Delta Squad as they fight a desperate, last-ditch attempt to save the remaining human inhabitants of the fictional planet Sera from a relentless and virtually unstoppable subterranean enemy known as the Locust Horde. The player assumes the role of Marcus Fenix (but can also play as Dominic Santiago), a former prisoner and war-hardened soldier. The game is based on the use of cover and strategic fire for the player to advance through the scenarios; a second player can play cooperatively through the main campaign to assist. The game also features several online multiplayer game modes for up to eight players.
Gears of War sold over three million copies in just ten weeks and was the fastest-selling video game of 2006 as well as the second-most played game over Xbox Live during 2007. It currently stands as the 5th best selling Xbox 360 game of all time. The game has since sold over five million copies by September 2008. The game was well received by critics, who praised its gameplay and detailed visuals, and it won several "Game of the Year" awards in 2006. The success of the game has led to the development of the Gears of War franchise, including the 2008 sequel Gears of War 2 and its follow-up, Gears of War 3, which was released on September 20, 2011, after having initially been set to have been released on April 5, 2011,[2] the date upon which Epic Games' Cliff Bleszinski was a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Adaptations to books, comics, as well as a feature film are to be expected.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gears Of War 1 has to be one of the greatest hit games to come out onto the 360.It was released in 2006 and is still one of my top favorites.The game is more of who can get the better shot rather than who sees who first like you see in most games.The games has 5 weapon slots
Lancer - This is an Assault Rifle and is very powerful
Gnasher - This is the shotgun in the series and is the main weapon you see people use
Snub Pistol - A very underrated pistol, it can headshot someone in 6 bullets to the head
There are also weapons you can pick up in this game.I won't go into full detail on these and will just name them
There is the Longshot,Torque Bow,Frag grenades,Boltok Pistol,and The Boomshot
There are some really fun game modes on this game also
There is Execution,Warzone,Assassination,and Annex.
Execution - When you down an enemy you have to go up and do an execution move.(5 rounds )
Warzone - You can stay back and execute them from far away ( 5 rounds )
Assassination - The point in this game mode is to kill the enemy leader.Once you do that you have won that round.
Annex - You have to capture a ring and hold that ring for however many points the host chooses.This ring switches every 30 seconds

Graphics
For a 2006 game i think it is really good graphics.They are pretty simple and that is what i like about them.
Here is a picture to show you guys

I will explain the characters in the picture
The guy on the left is Damon Baird "Baird".He is the under confident guy in the series and has some of the best quotes Like
The guy next to him is Augustus Cole "Cole Train"
He is the confident one in the group and has some great lines as well
Next to him is Marcus Fenix
He is the serious one in the group and he was captured and set into jail for life but he ended up getting out because Dom came in and saved him
Next to Marcus Fenix is Dom
He is the one in the group who is searching for his wife Maria who he ends up finding in GoW2 but he ended up having to kill her.
Dom ends up killing himself in GoW3 to save his team
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Thoughts
If you have an extra $15 and want to have hours and hours of fun i would recommend you go and get this game.It always keeps me coming back for more.
