Batman Arkham Asylum begins with Joker being brought to Arkham Asylum. Batman starts thinking that something's not right because Joker would never let him catch him that easily. It's obvious from the start that Joker has something up his sleeve. He starts controlling the Asylum freeing some of the greatest criminals locked up in the Asylum.
The controls of this game are perfect. Once you start playing you automatically get used to kickin' everyone's butts. There are a lot of combos you can use to easily defeat your enemies and it's really fun to try out different things everytime you attack someone.
There is a lot of platforming aswell as stealth action on this game which is something that I personally love. You feel that you're in control of everything even though you're actually not.
When there's a room full of guards and you're hidden in the dark without anyone seeing you, you can hear them calling you out. But, as soon as you kill someone, they start getting scared of you and you know that they know the end is coming for them.
The game features a beat em' up mode where you basically just fight a bunch of enemies and you try to do as many combos as possible.
The story of this game is basically like this: Joker takes control of the Asylum freeing a lot of Batman's enemies. You have to fight your way through the Asylum, knocking out guards, figuring out puzzles, killing bosses until you reach Joker.
Throughout the way, you'll find Bane, Scarecrow, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and, at the end, Joker, obviously.
The game is pretty good and, even though one of batman's arms is shorter than the other one, I still manage to give it a 10/10. If you never played this game I recommend you do because it's a really entertaining and fun game.
Uncharted Drake's Fortune is a third person shooting game similar to the Tomb Raider games. The game is about a guy named Nathan Drake that is searching for hidden treasures in an island full of mercenaries that want the same thing. The graphics in this game are pretty nice and smooth and the game is played mostly in the jungle and you have to play with the environment in order to sucessfully get out alive of a certain situation.
Throughout the game, you'll have to keep protecting yourself from those mercenaries by using obstacles you'll find almost anywhere. You will find yourself out-numbered almost everytime but there's always a way to kill everyone except you.
There's also a lot of platforming in this game which is good so it's not always shooting stuff and hiding. Sometimes, you'll have to figure out a puzzle to move on and sometimes those puzzles are really confusing. At least for the average gamer like me. Or maybe just for me.
You'll find that the controls are really easy to get used to and running out of bullets almost never happens in this game which is a very good thing because there are games, like Resident Evil 4, where you're always praying for more ammo and that's something that a lot of people dislike, obviously.
You have a wide selection of weapons at your disposal. You have Assault Rifles, Shotguns, Handguns (which you'll be using a lot so you don't waste a lot of bullets on your other guns), Sniper Rifles and grenade launchers. You also have grenades obviously. You can only carry a handgun and an assault rifle/sniper rifle/grenade launcher/shotgun.
You can also kill your enemies using your hands. You have two types of combos. You can mash the square button to beat up your opponent, but sometimes he'll dodge you and he'll be the one beating you up. So, the best combo is, pressing square, triangle and square and if you did it correctly, you'll beat him up pretty nicely with an attack, a dodge and a counter-attack.
The game is pretty good overall and I recommend you try it out if you haven't already. I give it a 10/10.
Splinter Cell used to be a tactical espionage action game, kinda like the Metal Gear franchise, but they changed it in this new Splinter Cell game: Splinter Cell Conviction. This time, Sam Fisher doesn't work for anyone and he doesn't necessarily need to hide in the shadows in order to beat a mission (there's an exception in one of the missions where you just can't get caught or the guards will close the building and you'll fail).
Sam Fisher is furious. He's daughter is dead, he had to kill his best friend and Third Echelon is now a thing of the past. In this game, Sam Fisher is now a fast and violent predator that hunts like there's no tomorrow. Basically, the new Sam Fisher is now a very powerful enemy to his own enemies.
If you play this game on your PC, you'll find the controls really easy to get used to even if you're playing with a keyboard. Some people might not like the look of this game because it lacks the stealth action the other games had, but, even though that may be correct, the game is still very good and challenging in its own way.
There's also a "Mark and Execute" ability you have. It basically works like this: you hand to hand kill a guard and you unlock the "Execute" ability. Once you have the "Execute" ability, you can mark the enemies (you can mark up to 4 enemies if you're using a fully upgraded Five-Seven) and then click "Execute" and you'll automatically headshot the selected guards. This ability comes in handy a lot of times during gameplay and it's sometimes a life saver.
The "Mark and Execute" ability also comes in handy when you need to eliminate a set of guards fast. Before you start shooting the guards, you should always have a strategy ready so you can kill them without getting shot once.
The game is pretty short but also pretty hard if played in the last difficulty (Realistic) and it gets really challenging once you get to the last stage: The White House.
If you never played this game, I recommend you get it for the PC or the 360 (whichever you prefer) and try it out. You won't be disappointed. I give it a 8/10.
Resident Evil 4 is a third person shooter action game. This game changed the way Resident Evil games looked and, even though it's probably less scary, it still has the Resident Evil feel in it and it's one of the best Resident Evil games

Hitman Blood Money is one of the best Hitman games. The storyline is superb and the missions have "infinite" ways to complete. The graphics are pretty good if you're playing on your PC or XBox 360. There's a lot of weapons and ways you can use to kill your targets for example: throwing a knife to the back of their head, pushing them over a rail or plain shoot them in the face

Since Pokemon Red and Blue, Pokemon has been one of the best franchises ever. Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green are the remakes to the games that started it all. When I first got Pokemon Fire Red, I thought it would be like those remakes that change a lot of the original history. Little did I know that I was wrong. The game is an exact replica of the original only with a few minor changes that makes the game even more enjoyable
