Every time you would beat a team you would pick up there star player that would like to help you on your journey on beating the bullies that live in your city. after beating all of the kids in your neighborhood you will face the bullies, The only things up for grabs with the new baseball stadium that the bullies will not let "little kids" play on.

Graphics
For a 2010 game these graphics would be amazing but now that we are in 2012, Standards have changed and same with the thoughts of people i would give the graphics a 4/10.
Controls:
The controls are basic, If you have ever player a MLB the show game without the swing stick these controls are exactly the same which gives the user prior knowledge of all the controls and how simple they are

This game relaxes you and brings out the best in many people, I enjoyed my time playing this game until I've beaten this game, Once you beat the game it's boring. but still lets you just sit back and have fun while trying to earn your way up to play the bullies of the neighorhood

Story
This Burnout game is much different to the rest. It is an Open- Sand box type game.
It is set in the fictional called Paradise City, where players can drive around, look at the scenery, or look for races and eliminations.
Or the elusive take down cars.
No matter what you do the game will take you anywhere.
Also unlike the other Burnout Games, there is no real story, you just have to level up from a learner driver to an A level.

Gameplay
Players of Burnout paradise can drive around and do what they please, they rece when they want, they level up when they want. Missions aren't forced on you, this is perfect for the type of person who just likes to enjoy the cars and drive around exploring. They have gametypes like "Showbiz", were you have to crash stylishly, drift and jump insane rapms to earn points. You also have regular races and other events, all of which are located at random traffic lights around the cty.
They also have a new crash system, now you can actually survive.
"Driveaways" and "Wrecked" to be exact, Driveaways are when you have retained your tyres and chassis, whereas Wrecked is when you haven't.
Multiplayer has also been brought in, the online system has a simple Menu in the Main Menu called "Easy Drive", for X360 players you have to hit up on the D-Pad to open it and then choose what you want.
Once you have started a party you can invite friends and race them.
They also implemented Leaderboards into single-player, say if you have 20 seconds around a certain corner, your friends can see that and try to beat it.

Graphics.
I can only say good things about the Graphics, the sun has a glint on the screen as if you were looking out a window, the sunset has the proper colours and feel.
But also the cars and windows of other cars aswell as your own have realistic dents and shattered windows, glass and debris stays on the ground for awhile, and can be lethal in races.

Gameplay: The gameplay is great, i could not of asked for a better story line throughout the game. It was very creative throughout and I enjoyed the experience playing it. You could not predict what would happen next as the story was created so carefully and precise it was hard to tell honestly. Its a shame there was no multiplayer because it would of made the game even better and I loved playing it.

Plot:
Civilians flocked to be "Chipped" and enjoy all that their selected syndicate has to offer: housing, medical, banking, insurance, education, entertainment and jobs. One complete package. Because of this and little Government planning, business is war.
Each Syndicate will stop at nothing for complete dominance. At the frontline, are each Syndicate's agents. The perfect soldier, aiming to take down rival syndicates.
You take on the role of Miles Kilo, the Euro Corp's Agent.
You embbark on a Adventure, through hostile territory to take down their rivals.
Graphics:
The graphics are amazing, there is weapon bounce, rain drips down the screen.
Much like BF3.
They would be great on PS3 or Xbox with a HDMI cable, and only a high end PC!
Controls:
The controls are much the same as many other FPS games.
Some are different, Holding Y takes out grenades, Running and holding A slides.
You will get the hang of it very quickly.

Synopsis:
Shinra, a greedy corporation with a stranglehold on the world's power supply, threatens to destroy the planet with its insatiable harvest of Mako energy. From deep within the slums of the techno-metropolis of Midgar, a scant but determined resistance faction called AVALANCHE is desperate in their bid to stop Shinra at any cost. Enlisting the services of a young mercenary named Cloud, a former member of Shinra's elite paramilitary force SOLDIER, these eco-terrorists aim to prevent a disaster of global proportions. Meanwhile, the reckless exploits of renegade Shinra scientists have exposed the planet to a danger more sinister than anyone could have imagined.

Gameplay:
Final Fantasy x (X = 10 ) is just like many other final fantasys in terms of gameplay but it was the first too play with the type of 3D turn based game style it introduced. It was and is still considered to be the game that started it all in terms of PlayStation turn based RPGs. In the game you can use either melee type attacks, damage of those attacks are determined by your characters strength and your weapon. Or you can use magic. Magic is split up into two groups, Black magic and White magic. Black magic is magic used for attacking and destruction, and White magic is magic that is used to heal or cure your allies. This was the first final fantasy to allow only 3 charters participate in a battle at one time. For its time the graphics were top notch and it played like no other RPG and in its prime was the most popular RPG game along with Final Fantasy being and still is the most popular RPG franchise in history.
Story:
The game starts out with Cloud (Main Character) joining the AVALANCHE group to attack some reactors surrounding Midgar. During one of the attacks Cloud is caught in an explosion and launched to the lower levels of Midgar. Fighting his way out with his new companion he meets, he comes to find out that the Shinra Corporation (enemy) have discovered the AVALANCHE groups base and have demolished it but killed many civilians in the process. The remaining members of AVALANCHE infiltrate the enemy headquarters to rescue Aerith (Clouds new companion). They are successful in rescuing Aerith, because a man named Sephiroth killed most of the guards and the company president. Fearing the intentions of Sephiroth the Shinra corporation hunt him down across the globe. Cloud and his allies have no choice but to stop Sephiroth who wants to use a spell on the earth to merge his energy with the planet, transforming himself into a god.

Like always this game is amazing, square enix is amazing at their job. Making an RPG that you can sit down and play for days on end. The gameplay is standard but still not stale, and the story is simply amazing. Something you don't get from games anymore is an amazing story, or characters that you get attached to. Anyone who likes RPGs and hasn't played this needs to go buy it!

Synopsis:
Fruit Ninja 2 (known as Fruit Ninja HD on the iPad and Fruit Ninja THD for Nvidia Tegra 2-based Android devices) is a video game developed by Halfbrick Studios. It was released April 21, 2010 for iPod Touch and iPhone devices, July 12, 2010 for the iPad, September 17, 2010 for Android OS devices. It was released for Windows Phone 7 on December 22, 2010. Also, in March 2011, versions for Samsung's Bada and Nokia's Symbian began to be distributed on their respective official application channels. Just prior to E3 2011 Fruit Ninja Kinect was released for the Xbox 360 on August 10, 2011 and utilizes the Kinect peripheral. In the game the player must slice fruit that is thrown into the air by swiping the device's touch screen with their finger or in the case of the Xbox 360 version, the player's arms and hands. It features multiple gameplay modes, leaderboards and multiplayer.
The game was well received by critics and consumers alike; as of September 2010 sales have exceeded three million downloads, with the total reaching four million in December 2010. Total sales across all platforms totaled over 20 million in March 2011. Reviewers felt that the low cost of the game combined with addictive gameplay yielded an excellent value. They further lauded the support and updates provided by Halfbrick, who brought online multiplayer, achievements and leaderboards to the game. Some critics felt the game's difficulty curve was uneven.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gameplay:
I have always loved taking up all my space on my phone and iPod with games. Games help me in class, in the airport, and even when I stuck with lame family. This game was an exceptionally fast download and highly rated when I downloaded it. I saw all the different knock offs, that looked the same; but I knew I had to get the original. The game was a quick download which I was surprised, usually the more popular games take awhile to download, well I mean faster than any computer or xbox download. I started off the game pretty happy, the menu was user friendly, and it was colorful. Not boring like some low budget games. I quickly started off, not reading the instructions (of course), and got the hang of it. I swiped and the fruit with amazing reflexes (that anyone can have). I've had the app over a year and I still enjoy playing it. I still haven't quite mastered all the modes; but I have shared it with friends and everyone I know enjoys it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics:
Cartoony. They are perfect for the game though, and they are HD for sure, no pixelization (that's not a word) that I notice right off hand.

It was released April 21, 2010 for iPod Touch and iPhone devices, July 12, 2010 for the iPad, September 17, 2010 for Android OS devices. It was released for Windows Phone 7 on December 22, 2010. Also, in March 2011, versions for Samsung's Bada and Nokia's Symbian began to be distributed on their respective official application channels. Just prior to E3 2011 Fruit Ninja Kinect was released for the Xbox 360 on August 10, 2011 and utilizes the Kinect peripheral. In the game the player must slice fruit that is thrown into the air by swiping the device's touch screen with their finger or in the case of the Xbox 360 version, the player's arms and hands. It features multiple gameplay modes, leaderboards and multiplayer.
The game was well received by critics and consumers alike; as of September 2010 sales have exceeded three million downloads, with the total reaching four million in December 2010. Total sales across all platforms totaled over 20 million in March 2011. Reviewers felt that the low cost of the game combined with addictive gameplay yielded an excellent value. They further lauded the support and updates provided by Halfbrick, who brought online multiplayer, achievements and leaderboards to the game. Some critics felt the game's difficulty curve was uneven.

Gameplay:
I have always loved taking up all my space on my phone and iPod with games. Games help me in class, in the airport, and even when I stuck with lame family. This game was an exceptionally fast download and highly rated when I downloaded it. I saw all the different knock offs, that looked the same; but I knew I had to get the original. The game was a quick download which I was surprised, usually the more popular games take awhile to download, well I mean faster than any computer or xbox download. I started off the game pretty happy, the menu was user friendly, and it was colorful. Not boring like some low budget games. I quickly started off, not reading the instructions (of course), and got the hang of it. I swiped and the fruit with amazing reflexes (that anyone can have). I've had the app over a year and I still enjoy playing it. I still haven't quite mastered all the modes; but I have shared it with friends and everyone I know enjoys it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics:
Cartoony. They are perfect for the game though, and they are HD for sure, no pixelization (that's not a word) that I notice right off hand.

Game Info:
Released Date: October 4, 2011
Published by: Bethesda Softworks
Developed by: Id Software
Genre: Action
Number of Players: 1-6
M for Mature: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language
Platforms: iPhone, Macintosh, PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Synopsis:
Rage is a groundbreaking first-person shooter set in the not-too-distant future after an asteroid impacts Earth, leaving a ravaged world behind. You emerge into this vast wasteland to discover humanity working to rebuild itself against such forces as raider gangs, mutants, and the Authority -- an oppressive government regime that has a special interest in you in particular.
Featuring intense first-person action, vehicle combat, an expansive world and jaw-dropping graphics powered by id's revolutionary idTech 5 technology, Rage continues the legacy of design studio Id Software in delivering an experience like no other.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Story:
You are the survivor of a government project to save the human race after an asteroid devastates the earth. You wake up 140 years later in your ark as the only survivor in your ark. You progress through the game by talking to people and doing missions. Meeting up with a group that wants to take down the Authority will be the main part of the game, and is introduced fairly early.
8.5/10 - Great
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gameplay:
In Rage it is strictly a first person shooter with no dialog options or RPG elements in it at all. Thus limiting the experience to just doing missions over and over again the entire time. It seems like you're just doing the same thing over and over again. Which really leaves you playing the game for an hour, taking a break for an hour, picking it back up for another hour, and you just repeat the cycle. You can't play this whole game thru in one sitting. It's way too repetitive and too unrewarding to just power through.
The game certainly does have a somewhat horror feel to it that will make you jump time to time. The mutants look crisp and freaky. Especially when the boss mutants come out of no where. Make you jump out of your seat. The fact that you're alone also intensifies the experience.
Dune buggies play a big part in this game. It is your main way of traveling and part of the game's main quest as well as some side quests. To id I give them props for utilizing something that has been done so many times to make it feel new and smooth. This does not make up for the awful main part of the game itself.
There are also a VERY limited amount of weapons. I believe in all you have 10 guns and only 10 other types of weaponry. The guns do feel very powerful but with such a limited amount of them they too get repetitive.
4/10 - Terrible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics:
As far as graphics, this game has one of the best I have ever seen. id Softwares has set the bar for future games - graphics-wise. The characters look extremely life-like and the overall feel of the dark game makes you feel like you're there. The only thing I have to complain about here is the occasional texture pop-ins. Still amazing graphics.
9.5/10 - Superb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sound:
The sound is exceptional. The boom from the grenades, the pow from your assault rifle makes it really seem like you're pulling the trigger or throwing the grenade. You can hear the enemies from a distance making you extra cautious about where you go. And once the enemies come and pop out at you it makes you jump. Excellent sound. Couldn't be better.
10/10 - Perfect
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Controls:
The controls flow extremely well. As usual you have the left trigger for aim and the right to pull the trigger. But the thing that makes Rage special is that it has so many options for you without you having to go a menu that pauses the game. It's all real time: switching weapons, types of ammo, and secondary weapons (grenades, wingsticks,etc.). Wonderful controls.
9.5/10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Closing Comments
Rage has so much potential. But just doesn't get it done. It could honestly be an amazing game, but it just fails to be that. The repetitiveness of the game just makes it lose it's appeal so quickly it's not even worth playing through. The only place where it needs to improve is the gameplay. The graphics, sound, controls, story are all great but it just isn't what it could be.
