182w ago - Rogue Warrior for PS3 and XBox 360 is one of those video games where the cover looks really good, but the storyline and gameplay is fairly mediocre and repetitive.

In every single mission you basically either track down or blow something up. There's really no point in this nor any real value or advancement in the game unfortunately.

The Controls are similar to nearly every other shooter, and the weapons are the same in every level.. there's never anything that changes other than the levels themselves.

You are basically a US Black-OPs solidier in the cold war and you do top secret missions in the Soviet Union and gather Intel.. other than that, it's run and gun.

This game is short and very easy. The enemy AI is the same everytime: shoot, duck, shoot, duck.. there's no other movement based on what the player does, so in turn that cause repetative AI too.

One can only hope that the next one, if it is made, improves upon this along with better AI and unique weapons.

Name of Game: Rogue Warrior
Publisher: Bethesda
Release Date: 11/30/2008
Platforms: PS3, 360
Genre: Shooter
Player: 1 in single player

Overall Rating: 3 out of 10

196w ago - Bethesda's Pete Hines has clarified Internet speculation about the future of the Elder Scrolls franchise.

Hines has said that Bethesda' producer Todd Howard was misquoted at QuakeCon last week, when he refused to give any details on a possible fifth title in the series, leading some to assume a new single-player game was not in development.

To quote: "Of course, we're going to do another Elder Scrolls game. The last one was enormously popular," wrote Hines on the publisher's official blog.

"Todd and Bethesda Game Studios are hard at work on their next big game, and we're not ready to discuss it. As always, we prefer to have something amazing to show when we talk about it.

We aren't going to confirm or deny or comment on speculation, nor are we going to give hints about anything. If you know us by now, you know we don't really do that," he added.
