Leveling Down

Amazon’s gaming deal of the day is Fallout 3 – unfortunately, only the PS3 version is on sale. If you haven’t played the game that cmfl3x and I both rate as our game of the year for 2008, you don’t know what you’re missing. Pick it up…now!

Also consider these two recent price drops on EA PS3 games as well:
Mercenaries 2 $19.99 (360 version is still $29.99) [Amazon.com]
Battlefield: Bad Company $19.99 (360 version is still $29.99) [Amazon.com]
Army of Two $19.99 (360 version is also $19.99) [Amazon.com]

Fallout 3 PS3 $34.98 [Amazon.com]

Army of Two, the first shooter to incorporate the concept of aggro

My brother got me this game for my birthday last month, and another friend got it too  so I’ve been playing it here and there this past week. It’s a short game as I’ve already gone through it once, so I figured I might as well write up a review for it since I’ve experienced enough of the game to give an opinion on it. For the curious, here is my quick summary:

Good:
- Co-op play revolving around the management of aggro
- Interesting multiplayer different from typical FPS games
- Plethora of guns and gun customization

Bad:
- Unnecessary co-op gimmicks that don’t add much value
- Short 5 hour campaign
- Poor online infrastructure and 2v2 max multiplayer
