Golden Eye: Rogue Agent (2004) Video Game Review

This guy may not have made it in MI6 but he is gonna kick some ass for the bad guys! 

007... Those movies have been entertaining audiences all over the world for literally generations, with there non-stop thrills technology, and what not!

But it wasn't until the late 1990s that I was able to partake in a side of the series that I didn't know existed... That is the games that were based on the series!

And you know what? Golden Eye: Rogue Agent (2004) is one of the few games that I know of that is based on this series, but doesn't have much of Bond in it!

The box art for: Golden Eye: Rogue Agent (2004)!

 Published by: Electronic Arts for the: PlayStation 2, XBox, Nintendo GameCube & Nintendo DS. This game told the story of a former MI6 spy known as "GoldenEye", who works for Auric Goldfinger against Dr. Julius No.

Protected or not... This guy is gonna kick all of their asses!

Now considering when this game was released, the graphics were pretty outstanding, (honestly though, they are still good, but I have seen better at this point...)

The effects though are still pretty excellent... The game is really hard, (which is always fun!)

The only problem though that I had with the game is that it didn't have the staying power to maintain being fun often and for long periods of time!

In the end though, it is worth trying out at least once!

Star Wars: The Force Unleased (2008) - Video Game Review

I will admit that I spent some time away from the video game world... So coming back in to the world of video games I found that I was a little bit of a novice, but I got to say that I was really quite impressed! The X-Box 360 is an amazing system that has taken video  games to that point where it has come very close to being a sort of controlled movie! And one of the first Video Games that I played as a novice to the X-Box 360 Was the video game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (2008)

Based on the Star Wars movie saga, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a video game that was released by LucasArts for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 consoles and on the iOS, second-generation N-Gage, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, and Java-equipped mobile phone handhelds, and told the story of how just after the Emperor betrays the Jedi, Darth Vader decides to take on his first apprentice in the child of another Jedi...

Now this child's name is, 'Stakiller' and at first would ultimately do anything that his Sith master, 'Darth Vader' asked him to do, including infiltrate the newly formed Rebel Alliance... But while on this mission, the light side of the force so to speak begins to take hold and the longer he spends with the rebels, the more and more he ends up defecting to help the Rebellion... (You could almost say that he did what Luke could never do for Anakin in the movies! )

And in the end, Starkiller will end up going after the man who was his father and trying his best to destroy him!

In the end I played this game on X-Box 360, and so I can't really  say how the game was for the other systems, but I can say this about the X-Box 360, it took me a little while to figure out the controls on this one. As for the story, it was pretty awesome... (Although if we consider the fact that the whole reason that Anakin Skywalker went over to the dark side was to protect his family... Then why through out this video game did they not get mentioned?

As for the special effects, they were obviously pretty awesome! And as for the music... Well what can I say... They did a pretty amazing job!

In the end, the only other thing that I don't really understand is why non of the characters from the prequel trilogy were not more predominantly displayed?

This video game is a hard one to get used to, but if you really work on it, trust  me when I say that it is worth the effort!
