Ya, it's supposed to be the "World of Warcraft" of Star Trek, is the best way to describe it...It would be great to have a look into that...I'm interested to see how it works! I'm so gettin' it when it comes out.

[Jeff Miller]

I just got this game for my birthday I read alot of reviews about this game and almost everyone said they hated it for one reason or another. I personally like this game I didn't have any problems with it. The controls were responsive and the story stayed as close to the movie without ruining anything. In this game you play as the powerfull T-800 once more to take on the latest model that skynet has poped out and sent back to kill John Connor but this time your enemy isn't no X-Files Reject but this time its a lovely and dreamy..... ahem its a woman who has more teeth than you may think. You will go everywhere from the future to the past than back to the future in a memory sequence which shows how John was killed (Which wasn't in the movie but it was a nice add on.) I have played many 1st Person Shooters that were good but this was the first that when I played it I felt like I was a actual war machine with almost no rivals. This game gets a 4 out of 5 because even though the game was good the experemintal fighting rounds could have been better. This game gets a T for Mild Violence and Language.

This is another in a series of games that I got for my birthday I'll admit that I was hesistant on playing this game I didn't see much of any kind of publicity at all for it. But when I put the game into my X-Box I will admit I was wrong this game was about as good as the first two out for this generation of the consoles. In this version you play as our ever loving T-800 this time you play the events leading up to T3 you will go across battle damaged land and you will see alot more storylines prior to the events of T3 but the best thing about this game is your character that you will be playing will be damaged. Thats right he will not be new. You have to keep your power system fully charged and you only have 5 seconds of scanning avaible in your normal terminator mode. But don't worry you will be able to upgrade depending if you can get the points needed to. This game is not in 1st person like the last one was its 2nd and 3rd. so you'll have to adapt to that. This game gets a 4 out of 5 because even though its good I feel that some things could have been inproved upon. This game gets a T for Violence, Partial Nudity and Language.

Have you ever played a game that within the first 5 minutes you could tell this was going to be one of those rare 5 out of 5 games? well that happened to me on my birthday when I got this game. Hell I haven't really been playing my other games I only been playing this game it's storyline and unique playing experience has really pulled me in. In this latest game from LucasArts you play as a officer of the republic who has temporly (SP) lost his or her memory. You will first wake up from a nap to find your ship attacked by the sith, oh just so you know this game takes place 1,000 years before the original triollogy. You will make you way through your crippled ship to a escape pod when you come to you find yourself hidding on the planet Tarris along with a pilot for the Republic Army. Thats all I will say about this game I don't want to spoil too much for anyone. This game gets a T for Violence and it gets the highest score possible from me thats right I give this game a 5 out of 5 if you like star wars and have a PC or a X-Box I suggest you get this game you won't be dissapointed.

This has to be one of the best war games that bare the Star Wars name in some time this game takes place during episode 1-2 and 4-6 you will play all the sides possible everything from the droids to the rebels. you will fight for 12 planets in this game and if you do good you will get rewards such as power ups or Jedi on your team. Dark side will have Vader the Light side will have Luke. When you complete a level for your side you will aqquire new features you can check up at on the special selection screen. If your not sure you want to purches this game I suggest you play the demo level that came with the original trillogy on the bonus disk. This game gets a T for Violence and a 4 out of 5 because I felt it was alittle too short for what it's about. But it is still a very fun game to play.

When Midway did their first attempt at a 3D Mortal Kombat game (MK4) one can say it was less than Stellar that was back in 1998 though well 4 years later they have improved upon that original equation by 100% they have remade their 3D engine with a complete success. In mortal Kombat you will be able to be one of more than 20 characters some are classic such as Johnny Cage or some new characters such as Bo Rai Chu (The Drunk Guy) In this game it is found out that Shang Sthung (SP) and his partner Quan Chi killed Liu Kang outside of Mortal Kombat which is a big No no. Well you will play as a character and fight your way up to the deadly Duo. This game also has several modes in Konquest Mode you will play a storyline of one of the playable characters and learn things along the way. In Krypt Mode you will earn koins througout the game and will be able to buy things everything from concept art to secret characters. I love the character named Frost. I like the idea of a female Sub Zero. The only complaint I have for the game is that the Konquest mode is way too hard that when you start to learn the combos it litterly gets impossible to learn. But since it is a Masterpeice second Attempt at a 3D game I give it a 5 out of 5. This game gets a M for Violence and gore like normal.

New, multiple fatalities and interactive backgrounds. With two fatalities per character, newly instituted death traps, stage fatalities and numerous interactive Kombat backgrounds, this game is looking to take the Mortal Kombat series to an all-new level of pain.
Online for both Xbox and PS2. For the first time ever, Mortal Kombat will be online...and in more ways than one! Mortal Kombat: Deception will support online play for both PS2 and Xbox Live and will feature online matches and tournaments, as well as online gameplay capabilities for both the board game and puzzle modes.
New Konquest mode. A completely redesigned single player Konquest mission will provide an entirely fresh and exciting gameplay experience by adding the likes of Direct Player Control, worlds populated by NPC (Non-Player-Controlled) characters, unique hidden features, a "real time" clock that represents the equivalent of a 24-hour day and a strong RPG gameplay element.
New board game mode. In this all-new feature, players will be able to partake in a game of chess-like strategy, but with a fun (and, of course, bloody) Mortal Kombat twist.
New puzzle game mode. With ties to the likes of your favorite puzzle video games of past, each character in the Mortal Kombat: Deception puzzle mode will have a super-move they can trigger against their opponent. Over 10 MK characters will be represented and there is plenty to both challenge and laugh at in this mode.

Alittle more than 2 years ago was Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance was made and it was a re admergence for Midway well with the success of MK: DA well when I got this game this was one of those rare times that they made a sequal that passed the original. This game will have you able to play one of several characters some of them are classic like before and some are newer characters you will fight you way up the ladder to take on the Dragon King which is to be known as the Ultimate evil. This game has several modes which makes this game so much more of a success this game has puzzle combat if your a a fan of tetrix or Dr. Mario will like this game. It also has Kombat Chess which is like the original version of chess but this one is more violent. This game also now has death traps in each level to kill your opponet more quickly than normal. The only problem I have with this game is the Konquest more once again they want you to do the impossible sometimes. But because this game is so much of a step up for Midway and it is so flawless in its production I give this game a 5 out of 5. It gets a M because it is litterly a blood fest it also has violence and language. But it you liked MK:DA you will like this game.
