Hey there I used to work for my schools newspaper rating video games and well it was an awsome job got to play games all I wanted and got to give them a modest and good review.
Well here is my rating on my top game that was supposed to rock, but when I played it through it turned out to be glitchy, bad frame rates, subpar voice animation, GRAPHICS!!!!!, and the game play.
Lets start with the worst of the lot.
Coming in at number one in my Good games gone bad list is..
1) MASS EFFECT: This game was one that i looked forward to playing for a while. I just got my hands on a really good condition rental from Rogers Video and already played through the story once just completting the main objective missions. What i noticed about the game right off the bat was the voices in the game seemed to be from esteemed actors in the movie industry. From the pilot of your ship The Normandy called Joker, who i believe played that guy from Without a Paddle. To i think another great black actor who i can't put my finger on his name who plays Captain Anderson. The voice cast was amazing and the dialgue in the game was anything but subpar. It was the character speech animations that left my jaw dropped to the floor. It looked like one of those really old and cheesy Kung Fu flicks witht the voice overs. The mother wouldn't be moving for about half of the speech and it would kick in near the end. And sometimes during chat scenes the person that the character was talking to would have there eyes closed the entire time as if glitched closed. Another problem that I found with it was your allies. If you had just finished a fire fight and you have to go and get something done they stay where they are even if you hit the regroup command. I spent many a time using the go here command to keep my squad with me. This happened to me so many times it got really frustrating when in a fire fight when one ally is half way across the map away from where you and the other ally are:mad:. Another thing with the combat was that if an enemy gets up close to your ally they seem to freeze together and even if you shoot the enemy it stays standing for about thirty seconds then somehow your ally and the enemy die symoltaniously. This gets VERY frustrating when you are fighting a horde of Geth troopers and both your allies die this way.
