So a couple of hours ago I decided to check out the PSN store and found out that BC2 Demo was out...So I decided to download it and try,I was not expecting much and it was only a multiplayer demo but it really surprised me.I played it for like 2 hours and I really started liking it.The Battles are rather long and from the Demo you can only play one match time,or so it seemed,A search and destory game but when some targetsget blown up the battle continues,you have to destroy or defend about 8 spots in total but not at the same time,After some get destroyed,new ones are brought up and defenders just have to survive the waive of attacks and the attackers need to ambush and plant the bombs.One game can be up to 30 minutes long.

The Good:

Weapons feel great
In-Game Vehicles (Choppers,Tanks,water scooters and such)
old school Battlefield Multiplayer setup with Medics,engineers and more.
New weapons can be unlocked with an ease.
Weapons actally feel different.
Realistic gameplay
Everything can be destroyed,Even buildings and trees.
No stupid red dots appear when enemies are near.Which is good cuz I hated that feature.
Trophy badge system.
Tactical shooter

The Bad:

Some weapons feel overpowered,some underpowered.
Knife attacks are rather slow but realistic.
Some framerate issues.
Graphic glitches can be seen on some place.
Connection might be a bit slow.
Hard to throw grenades





Now those Good and Bad things are just my quick thoughts on how the game was while I was playing it and I have to say that this game seems to be like my cup of tea.I mean this game actually takes skill to play,it isnt just an ordinary shooter like MW2 or MAG,This game actually feels differently from all the rest and the feeling is quite nice if you ask me.

Now a bit of MW2....What makes me get pissed off while playing MW2 is that nothing is realistic,I mean you shoot someone in the face with a shotgun and you can see that you hit them but someway they can still pull out a knife and kill you,and sometimes when you try to shoot someone who is running around knifing everybody,when the guy is running at you,you shoot like 5 bullets into the guys forehead but the guy is still able to survive and knife you....Sniping is a joke,you get a headshot from shooting a guy in the shoulder....Like I have said before,this game has a huge problem with Hit detection and always has had.

Nonetheless,Its nice to see something a bit new and refreshing,altough Battlefield:Bad Company 2 is not Socom 2 ,it is still a very fun game and I truly must say I enjoyed it.

For now I suggest everybody to get live and DL this Demo because it is very fun and is worth it....It might not be the best Tactical shooter out there but it definetly is a good one.

For now I give the multiplayer a rating of 8.0/10...Altough that might change.

The Final part of my 5 part Video Game awards is here,So lets get it started.


Cooperative Game of the Year Nominees are:

Borderlands
Resident Evil 5
Uncharted 2
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
Ghostbusters


And the WINNER IS: Resident Evil 5



Resident Evil 5 might have fallen short on the survival/horror factor but it definetly had the co-op component that we all wanted to get from a Resident Evil game.The cooperative gameplay works well with A.I side by side you but to really get the cooperative feel,you need to play it hot-seat split-screenoffline with a friend or online,either way the game works well both ways.It provides well thought out co-op moves like helping each other and doing things together to progress throughout the story,it makes the gameplay that much better to actually have something you can do together in the game.

Xbox 360 Game of the Year Nominees are:

Forza Motorsport 3
Halo 3:ODST
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Left 4 Dead 2
Assassins Creed 2


And the WINNER IS: Assassins Creed II



This has been a great year for the 360 with games like Forza Motorsport 3 and Left 4 Dead 2 making a lot of noise but even with those twogreat games,Assassins Creed II takes the award for the Best Xbox360 Game of the Year.Assassins Creed II is a rock solid game and has perfected something many games have tried to do.Infamous,Prototype.GTA IV and Assassins Creed 1 have one mayor thing in common and that is that they are all sandbox games,Not only that but 3 of those 4 are parkour/Free-running games...Where those games have succeeded or failed,Assassins Creed II has perfected it in every way imaginable,Excellent parkour and probably the best Sandbox game world ever created.







Playstation 3 Game Of the Year Nominees are:

Killzone 2
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Infamous
Assassins Creed 2
Demons Souls


And the WINNER IS: Assassins Creed II



Uncharted 2 and Demons Souls really put the PS3 out there together with Killzone 2 and Dragon Age:Origins this year.Assassins Creed II beats them all without a doubt,Even if Uncharted 2 was a close second,it just did not cut it for me and Assassins Creed II wins this award for the best PS3 game of the Year.Assassins Creed II had tough competition but made it stand out was the superb story,incredible free world,Great dialog and fantastic gameplay,it has something to offer that other games just cannot come close to.Assassins Creed II is lead well by Desmond Miles and the Animus but the show is stolen by the Italian Ezio Auditore da Firenze!

Dantes Inferno
God of War 3
Army of Two: 40th Day

This is a Game that I know Im not alone waiting anxiously for,It is a game that is believed to change the future of Action/Adventure forever.Kratos returns to whoop some ass and really show us all he can do.God Of War 3 is a game we all got hooked after the first 2 or like me,after seeing E3 trailer of it.The Game seems to be of EPIC proportions and thats a fact,It is coming out in March and March cannot get here slower.It is not only a game that we all expect to blow all other titles out of the water but it is a game that I Personally expect to be the Game of the century.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Not only does it surpass the first installment by a landslide but it surpasses it in every each way possible.All these components put together make one hell of a game and I am proud to call Assassins Creed II the Game of the Year 2009 and one of my personal Favorites!

Award for Best Boss Battles in a Video game Nominees are:

Borderlands
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Resident Evil 5
Dragon Age: Origins
Demons Souls


And the WINNER IS: Batman:Arkham Asylum



Batman:Arkham Asylum is fully packed with spectacular boss fights,from Bane to Joker this game has the Best Boss Battles hands down as it is able to pull you in and give you the Boss Battles we all have been looking for years.




Surprisingly Good Game of the Year Nominees are:

UFC Undisputed 2009
Resident Evil 5
Resistance: Retribution
WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010
Batman:Arkham Asylum


And the WINNER IS: WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010



WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 surprised me this year as every other year it has been mediocre but this time I can truly say that SvR 2010 is a great game.You can create your own wrestler,Entrance,move-set,finisher and you can even customize the WWE roster.The Gameplay is very well done altough some glitches still remain,it has been able to come away from that old boring game mechanic that really pulled the game down from what it could have been but not this time.SvR 2010 brings back what we liked from the previous games such as new character models,career mode and the Road to Wrestlemania,There is no question that the game has been done well this year and hopefully will grow even better with the years ahead.

Story of the Year Nominees are:

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Assassins Creed 2
Batman: Arkham Asylum


And the WINNER IS: Uncharted 2:Among Thieves



There is no question that Uncharted 2:Among Thieves is a good game but what makes this game stand out besides the incredible visuals is the story.The Story is a little bit predictable but which story isnt,It is very well put together and is a vast improvement over the first installment of Uncharted.Nathan Drake is like the Indiana Jones of gaming and does well to live up to all of our expectations whether its good or bad.This year the competition for best story was fierce but Uncharted 2:Among Thieves just stands out with spectacular dialog and a fantastic story to go with it.Not only is it a Great Game with a great story but it captures our attention ina way many other games can not.



Part 5 will be up in about 20 hours to reveal the last 4 WINNERS,the Best Xbox360 and PS3 game,Most anticipated game of 2010 and The Game of the Year from ErkiB.

I hope you enjoyed this part and please give me your comments and as always feel free to tell me how you truly feel over my picks.
