"Believable story" Hahahahaha, oh wow. South Korea peacefully agreeing to be ruled by the North, and various convenient disasters to bring the US down a bit. And China somehow not caring that the nation it has under its wing is growing more powerful than they can benefit from. Or any other non-NK power for that matter. |

Bulletstorm (Xbox 360): Bulletstorm review |

This review sounds very sycophantic. While I could appreciate the possible replay value and interesting gameplay, some of the things you talk about aren't as good as they actually are. Smartly written scenes? I guess just randomly sticking a vulnerable little girl in is enough to build sympathy from you. Not to mention a revelation that they've been doing not-so-innocent killings out of nowhere. And that on-rails thing looks like it has way too many things going on. It's not well-constructed, it's cluttered. But I can agree with the rest of the review, in a different tone. This probably should be on anyone's buy list. |

#7 can be sort of ignored with Suppressors and Sleight of Hand. As for #2, some of the assault rifles are good at everything. If you know how to shoot, you could even snipe with them. With #1, assaulting an enemy spawn point will be as hard as assaulting the middle point anyway. |

Some of this advice isn't so enlightening. The Nova Gas may be good, but you only get one of those. Better to get the drop on 2 enemies with the Concussion grenades. And I'll have to express my disapproval at encouraging the purchase and usage of the annoying RC-XD. Far better to help the team and yourself by sticking with the Spy Plane. Instead of sitting in a corner, more points can be had by going around and shooting people with foreknowledge of their location. |

Meh, I'd have genuine emotions if the concept wasn't so ridiculous. Sure, the DPRK has a blue-water navy capable of an amphibious assault of the continental United States. Sure, they have the resources and manpower to occupy and control the hundreds of millions of square kilometers and current inhabitants of the country. |
