Blood 2: The Chosen Review Blood 2: The Chosen Review

Final Verdict

Thresh's comments in BLACK

Kenn's comments in BLUE

Thresh:3 Stars
While Blood II generally doesn't break much ground, it remains focused on providing a solid foundation for a good FPS game. It does take some chances, and being able to select a different player attributes is a nifty idea, but I'm not so certain about the final benefit in this case. Multiplayer action remained the best part, and you've got to admit these boys know how to throw a party.

Kenn:3 1/2 Stars
I found Blood II to excel in certain aspects, boosting up what would otherwise have been an average game. Very few games had the perfect soundtrack (and yes I love Doom's original soundtrack as well); Blood II does. Its eerie tunes add to gameplay by "epic proportions." I wasn't too crazy about the ammo-only model, but I think that being able to skillfully adjust player attributes can add spice to Bloodbath; couple this with strategic weapon selection, and you've got the potential for something big!

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. Review
With DirectX 10.1 graphics, and over 50 real-world aircraft and terrain supplied by GeoEye, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. has the basic ingredients needed for a fun flight sim experience. But is it really a sim, or more of a flying shooter like you'd find in arcades? Tom attempts to sort it all out in this review!

Mirror's Edge PC Review
Mirror's Edge PC Review
With its emphasis on parkour, Mirror's Edge plays differently than your traditional FPS. In fact to call it a shooter would be a misnomer as the game plays like no other FPS on the market. But is different necessarily better? Find out in our review of Mirror's Edge PC!
