Dead Rising 2: Case West Review

Frank West and photography are back, but is it for the better?

Dead Rising 2, though similar to Dead Rising, changed up the formula and improved upon the gameplay elements set forth in the original. Case West, the latest expansion for Dead Rising 2, makes further changes to that core formula in its short two and half hour quest. True co-op play featuring Frank West, a new rescue and objective system, and the ability to take photographs distinguish this experience from the main quest.

Medal of Honor Review

If you haven’t purchased this game yet, good choice – if you have, you probably should’ve just waited for Black Ops.

It’s been awhile since the Medal of Honor series has had any amount of relevance. Unfortunately for fans, even with the release of the latest in this series, it remains irrelevant. Medal of Honor is, for lack of a nicer term, a Call of Duty rip-off. It borrows the same style of quest, features similar controls, and even bares semblance to the multiplayer mode. You would expect that if EA was to borrow all of these elements it would at least do them better, but what we are presented with is a game that doesn’t match up to that series at all. Without question, players would be better off checking out any of the past three games in the Call of Duty series instead.
