Ape Escape On The Loose

 



Game: Ape Escape On The Loose
Platform: PSP
Genre: Platformer
First 3 Hours: This is basically Ape Escape 1 on the PSX but they remade i for the psp. I can't say the remade does not hold well. The reason is because of the psp one thumbstick configuration. It makes the game a bit unplayable

Status: Did even past the 3 world due to frustration in the controllers.
Score: 2/5 monkeys

Resident Evil 6

 






Game: Resident Evil 6

Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom

 \






Game: Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom
Platform: Xbox 360

Tekken Tag Tournament 2

 



Game: Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Platform: Xbox 360
Genre: Fighting
First 3 Hours: Tekken is pretty much the same formula ever since the first tekken. I've played TTT for the ps3 before. This game is about the same. The roster is crazy huge. This is more a multiplayer game rather than a single player one

Status: Played it a while but since there is no apparent storyline I just stop playing
Score: 4/5 KO's

Gears of War 3

 



Game: Gears of War 3
Platform: Xbox 360
Genre: Shooter
