Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

 The year was 1864, several years after the McCall Brothers Ray and Thomas abandoned the army during the civil war to go protect home to their family farm from the North. But they soon learn that their mother has died. Now they must go to Mexico with their younger brother William, to search for a legendary treasure that may or may not exist, so that they may build a new home for their family. But along the way you will be faced against gangs, Indians, and a small army of Confederate soldiers, led by your former general that promised to kill any abandoners of the Confederacy.

  Gameplay was pretty basic and you'll learn how to do just about everything in the first chapter, so you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. Aiming is easy, even without the aim bot, but aim bot can be turned on at any time. The game was like a mix of Army of Two and Red Dead Redemption. The game is like Red Dead Redemption because it is a very Western based game and continues on into Mexico. But also because of the looks towns, buildings, and characters are all good examples. The game also includes horseback riding, but does not have a wide variety of horses. but one thing that's similar are the side missions. Both games have wanted posters or one thing that's similar is a protection job. Although in Red Dead Redemption they aren't exactly side missions they are more of just bonuses. The game is also similar to Army of Two because it gives you the option to choose between two characters. And both characters have their own specialties. For example Ray uses a lasso to get to places Thomas can't, and Ray uses dynamite to blow down doors that Ray can't open.

  Details in this game were really good including characters, backgrounds, buildings, horses, and weapons. There was a wide variety of background characters and enemies, and all of the looked great. Like I mentioned earlier, there was not a wide variety of horses in the game but they were all great. Backgrounds and building also looked great, but some textures on things like wooden stairs weren't as good. There also was a wide variety of guns, each one was different. From Throwing Knives to Crossbows this game gives you a wave of weapons to use to help combat you in your quest to find the Aztec gold. Guns are a big part of this, all of the weapons look very realistic, and you can really tell the difference between a Rusty Rifle and a Superb Rifle, even shotgun shells and bullets look good.

  The voice-overs were probably the some of the best I've seen, all the actors did a great job of portraying all the accents for the characters. The voice actors for Ray and Thomas did a great job of sounding very South Western.

  There weren't many dislikes except for two things. One thing was that there was no co-op campaign. And the second thing I didn't like was that it takes to many bullets to kill an enemy.

  There is Online Mutiplayer, where you can do several different missions with friends at numerous places. There is also DLC's for Call of Juarez to unlock Secret Missions.

  But overall the game was good, but it was not the best western game I've ever played, but it would belong on my Top Ten best western games. It had good graphics, story, and sound and I think it deserves a 4 out of 5.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2

 Starkiller is dead, and Darth Vader has had many tries, and many failed attempts to clone him. But finally he thought he had perfected it, but then he escaped. Now you must lay as Starkiller's clone once again, find Juno Eclipse and learn your real name. The has changed quite a bit, but it's still the same person, and the same motivation, Juno. the actor that portrays Starkiller is a really good actor and has also done some work on Star Wars: The Clone Wars as Darth Maul.
 The game does come with a new feature which allows you to have 2 lightsabers which can be customised in their own unique way.

 I rate this game a 4 out of 5 because the graphics have gotten a lot better, and the game is pretty good.

Batman: Arkham City ~ Harley Quinn's Revenge

 After the tragic death of The Joker, Harley Quinn goes into a deep depression, and becomes even crazier than she was. She then came up with a plan to Batman hostage, and get her revenge. But there's one thing she didn't take into account for, Robin. Now you get the chance to play as Robin, stop Haley Quinn, and save Batman.
 Personally this is one DLC I'm really glad came came out, because it finally gives you the chance to play as Robin in story mode. But there's a catch you can't really free roam around Arkham City, and you only get to play as Robin for some parts, but you do get to pick between one of the 3 downloadable costumes only if you've downloaded them, and you can only wear one of the outfits after you've started the game.
 The DLC comes with 3 new character trophies, Mourning Harley, Harley's Goon's, and Harley's Titan Thug.

 I rate this DLC a 4.5 out of 5, because this DLC makes it so Batman doesn't become another dusty game on your shelf. It only got a 4.5 because it didn't give me the option to free roam, in this it's like one big unending mission, because even after you beat the game you can't just free roam, you have to start the entire thing over again. But just like the other Batman games all the details and everything else is great.
