This bug is pretty huge (probably the biggest in a list of issues with multiplayer). In Grand Theft Auto IV, the co-op mode called Bomb the Base II is basically unplayable (Xbox 360 version, not sure about PS3). If you have more than one person playing (say, you and a friend), each of you get a limited...
Here are my top 5 original Xbox games that can be played on the 360. Some people may not have had the original Xbox and may have missed out on these beauties. Some may poo poo these older games as relics and not worthy of the mighty 360, but I fully disagree. These games are great and worth a second...
After spending more time with Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 , it is becoming apparent that the multiplayer aspect of the game is somewhat broken. Many of these problems were already addressed in our full review of the title, but it is now clearer where the pain points are and how Ubisoft can address them. It...
I have a lot of old skool PC gaming friends who refuse to make the leap into consoles, even though consoles are currently eclipsing PC gaming in popularity at the moment. These guys are the first person shooter (FPS), Counter-Strike playing types, and the #1 reason they site for not making the switch...
To rate sequels is always a bit difficult. Sequel games have to stand on their own, yet since they have a proven platform with which they are built on, you have to be a bit tougher on them as well. Otherwise, it is just a re-hash of the same game. Does the same game deserve the same scores as the original...
To be honest, I'm not sure this game warrants a full review, so this may be all you see of this game here at TrustyGamer. Here is a quick rundown. Summary: You play a blatantly mal-adjusted teen entering a somewhat rundown private school of misfits. As you go about each day, attending class or resting...
Summary: Army of Two centers around a fictional depiction of a not-to-distant future where the U.S. is debating the effectiveness, benefits, and drawbacks of the privatization of military and armed forces services. A few of these private Blackwater-type companies have earned more and more business from...
Summary: Let me first say that I like the TV show Lost, but sadly I have not followed it the past 2 years. This may be a good thing as far as reviewing this game. It’s fresh all over again with just enough familiarity. Lost is an adventure game based on the hit ABC television show of the same name...
Smakus's take: The Fifa Street series of games have a somewhat interesting history. The original title was one of the first high definition games ever made for a console (on the original Xbox, no less). With arcade gameplay that generally mimics indoor soccer, the earlier titles found some success and...
I have 30+ Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) games on my Xbox 360 system. For whatever reason, whenever I go to the XBLA blade of the Xbox 360's interface, I'm now treated to the longest and most frustrating load time in history. It seems as though when you view this blade, the Xbox has to parse a really long...
Smakus's take: N+ is a game I had never heard of before the XBLA release. It was getting a lot of buzz so I knew this title would be something worth checking out. After trying out the training levels, I knew there was enough substance to justify a full purchase. I'm glad I bought it... in a nutshell...
There is no doubt that Halo 3 for the Xbox 360 is a masterpiece. Bungie really really really put in a lot of time and effort. 90% of this effort was put into the Forge system, and the Theater, where you can view the complete battle for the last 25 games you've played, in real-time, from any angle you...
Smakus's take: This game is hella fun. It is like Ninja Gaiden, Mario, and Prince of Persia all rolled into one. The movement of the character feels good, and the gameplay is simple and fun. At 1200 points, it would be worth it, but at 800, this game is a STEAL. Great longevity, as it has a built-in...
The Xbox 360 is a juggernaut that Sony never expected - or I should say, Xbox Live is. Xbox Live became the premiere example of how multiplayer gaming in the 21 st century should be – easy, fun, and something for everyone. Whether you want to play a quick game of chess with your friend across the...
The first gears was an amazing game… the single player experience was great, with enough variety and story elements to satisfy almost anyone. Yeah, it was short, but it was very sweet, like a rich dessert. Epic also nailed how a co-op experience should be… jump right in to your buddy’s...
The first Rainbow Six to appear on a next-generation platform was a nearly perfect single player experience, but let’s face it… You play the single player once, maybe twice (or 5 times, if you are User X), and then it is really up to the multiplayer features of a game to give it any kind...
