True Crime: Streets of LA
GTA Double Pack
Rainbow 6: 3


True Crimes:
This one is a love it or hate it.  I picked it up yesterday as it sounded bad ass, well it was a little bad ass, or at least the concept behind it is cool but fails in the end.

The fighting is highly touted as being a Tekken like system but it basically a three button mash fest and isn\'t very fun.  I would say that it\'s a shade better than the GTA system, and that ain\'t good.

The driving and catching of thieves is pretty great, I love shooting out tires and blowing cars up by shooting their gas tanks.  And this IMO is the only reason to buy the game (well not the only reason)  There is great fun in chasing down a perp, shotting out his tires, having him bail out of the car, chase him on foot then he jacks another car and it starts all over again.

The story is weak, sorry but it is.  The story missions are unfun and frustrating.  If they aren\'t frustrating then they become boring.  And once you get to the part with zombies, the story is a freak\'n joke.

The gameplay has some screwed up things with it.  If you kill good guys you get bad cop points, if you arrest people you get good cop points.  But if someone shoots at you and you shoot them, you\'re a bad cop...freak\'n rediculous.

Overall score is a C+.  A decent game if you need to buy one.

GTA Double Pack:
I\'ve never played Vice City, love 80\'s music and am a HUGE Scarface fan so this is a must buy for me.

Well we all know what GTA is about and how great it is, so I won\'t get into it.  But the graphics have been upgraded and the controls have been remapped.

Score A+ (So far, top 3 favorite game of all time)

Ghost Recon 6: 3

Beautiful game, with beautiful gameplay.  Only played about an hour so far, but I really like this game.  The Zulu codes are great, with the Zulu code I can set up my men at one entry  point, go to the other and when I hit the Zulu button the enter.  This way you get simultanious entry from two points, great.

Overall score: B+/A- (only played an hour)

I want PGR2, even though it probably won\'t be that great.

Is True Crimes very long?

It seemed pretty short to me, I\'d guess it\'s around 20 hours if you don\'t rush.

How far have you gotten?  I personally got really pissed when I reached the part with the [sp]zombies[/sp] it was just weird for that to be in this type of game.

You\'re pretty much at the begining.  Word of advice, make sure you level up your character, as fights get tough later on.

Yeah, I got it too. I like it. Its not an incredible game but it is fun. The zombie thing was definately weird as hell; but that whole level was odd. Demon-heads? WTF.

The controls took a bit to get used to at first but they were okay. My main problem was with the camera. There were times when I would be sneaking around a corner and I couldn\'t get the camera to turn so I could see around it without going to far around the corner and being stuck against the wall while getting shot by enemies I couldn\'t see.

If I had to rate the game I would give it an 8 or a 7.5 out of 10.

The city is HUGE. I remember when I had to drive the length of the map to get to the airport and it actually took a long ass time to get there. I can\'t think of any other game where the game area felt as massive as this does.
