I had heard the hype surrounding this game at E3 and other game conferences just like anyone else, and, roughly 2... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~485640670852 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:09:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_485640670852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_473612062340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author payback123 - With the huge rise in popularity of the UFC or Ultimate Fighting Championship, it was only a matter of time before a game was released for the next gen consoles.

From the outside I could see why the average person would... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~469919895172 Sun, 10 May 2009 15:30:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_469919895172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_453929569924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author payback123 - Brothers in arms has always been on the top of my list for World War 2 first-person shooters. Ubisofts latest, "Brothers in arms: Hell's Highway" is easily the best in the series, although still not perfect.

The first Mercenaries was a great game but after seeing trailers and gameplay for the sequel, I knew it would be insane. Once again though, a sequel doesn't live up to the hype (God knows it would... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~444857028228 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:21:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_444857028228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_438145552004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author payback123 - Kenny vs Spenny has been one of my favorite shows for a long time now.

That name probably rings a bell for most gamers, it being the most popular online action game in the world. After a while, I decided to try it out to see what the fuss was about.

The reason for this was the faster, more arcade-style gameplay, with great graphics and a nice sense of atmosphere.

Before I played this game, I respected the fact that the developers weren't touting the game as a "GTA killer" (Developers, not the press).
