Medal of Honor Reviews Havent Been Exactly Steller
Medal of Honor has been a very hyped game, but at the moment it isnt exactly getting great reviews.
Eurogamer (full review here) thoughtfully strokes its chin while it reflects on the game’s ham-fisted story-telling. Then gives it an eight:
“As a game about the Afghanistan war that does its absolute utmost to avoid being about the Afghanistan war, Medal of Honor is arguably just a shooting gallery spliced with a fairground ride and a solid multiplayer accessory which owes a lot to Bad Company 2. It certainly does little to advance the theory that videogames are responsible enough to tell stories within sensitive contexts.”
8/10
Official Xbox Magazine (full review here) suggests the game is flawed in both singleplayer and multiplayer:
“Medal of Honor fails in making an honourable return to the frontline. It’s an inconsistent package that doesn’t fully deliver on the single-player, nor distinguish itself enough in multiplayer to make it an Xbox Live contender. A real shame.“
7/10
GamingTrend (full review here) gives the game the highest mark I’ve seen so far, with reviewer Ron Burke admitting he was moved to tears by the ending (for the right reasons, I think):
“While there are some graphical issues and multiplayer polish problems, Medal of Honor gets so much right that it’s hard to ignore. While the battle between the two modern warfare juggernauts will be settled in multiplayer, the single player stands well enough on its own to justify your purchase.“

Joystiq’s Andrew Yoon (full review here) says what every EA shareholder will be silently dreading: when it comes to multiplayer, Call of Duty just can’t be beaten:
“In any other genre, a stellar single player experience would be enough to garner a whole-hearted recommendation. But it’s impossible to ignore the importance of multiplayer, especially when Medal of Honor‘s primary competitor tends to excel at both. Medal of Honor‘s campaign is an exceptional experience, but the total package simply doesn’t beat Call of Duty.“
4/5
IGN (full review here) gave it one of the lowest scores around, made extra significant by the fact that IGN is pretty much the most widely read game reviews site out there:
“Medal of Honor’s real problem may be Danger Close’s inability to commit to a particular direction for the game. Swinging wildly between the horrors and danger of war and unrealistic action movie moments and hampered by a surplus of boring scripted sequences, not even DICE’s talented multiplayer designers are able to elevate Medal of Honor to something memorable.”

Fifa 2011 Outselling PES 2011 in the Battle of the Football Video Games
It is the battle of the football gaming heavyweights. For so many years now there has been a huge rivalry between Fifa and PES game series. This time around it looks like Fifa 2011 has been outselling PES 2011.
Pro Evolution Soccer 11 is only one place below FIFA 11 in the UK gaming charts, but the weekend just gone was its opening one, with FIFA already being out for over a week, and Konami would have wanted top spot at the very least.
Instead, it has still failed to outsell its main competitor, despite FIFA 11 already being purchased by over 2.6 million people (worldwide) already.
It is being reported that PES 2011 only sold a tenth of the amount of copies that FIFA 11 managed in its opening week in the UK.
Guitar Hero on iPhone Released
Fans of the music video game genre rejoice, one of the classic games that started it all has finally come to the iPhone/iTouch. After years of playing on consoles, Guitar Hero finally comes to the mobile world. Currently we’ve been occupying our time playing games like Tap Tap Revenge and other similar style games, but nothing brings the feeling of full rockstar status like Guitar Hero.
The app, $3, has been downsized and altered slightly for mobile playing. The interface is simplified to appeal to a much wider audience that would not normally pick up the game on a console. Whether you’re new or a veteran Guitar Hero gamer, you’ll still be able to tap, strum, whammy, and slide to the beat of the songs on the game. The game currently comes with six songs: The Rolling Stones, Weezer, Vampire Weekend, and The White Stripes, just to name a few. If you’re looking to increase your rockstar library you can find more games in app, but it’s going to cost you.
A huge thanks to Activision for making this game a reality. No more air guitar while you listen to your music, now you can really jam out. Still, people might look at you funny…but who cares?
Guitar Hero iPhone App
Classic Nintendo Gaming In Your Hands
There’s a lot to be said of the games from our past. I’m just as big a fan of the modern day gaming systems as anyone else, but sometimes we just want to play the classics and by now some of our older systems have collected too much dust, or they just don’t work like they should. So teaming up for a game of Contra, or picking up a game of Spy Hunter just isn’t feasible.
What if it was possible to dust those cartridges off, pop them into an updated gaming system and pick up where your elementary inner child left off. Check out the Retro Mini X Handheld gaming system that does just that. The site claims it’s the “Gameboy that never was,” for all of us that hold the classics near and dear to our heart. Not into the 2.4 inch LED screen? No worries, the handheld system comes with A/V connectors so that you can play on your TV.
For the small price of $50, you get the handheld system, two controllers, and a zapper for those classics like Hogan’s Alley and the infamous Duck Hunt. While the system does not come with any games, that’s why it’s important to dig out those boxes and get those games ready for the wee hours of the night that you’re sure to spend playing these classics again.
