Titanfall (2014 Video Game)
7/10
Superb online shooter
24 March 2014
This is no call of duty clone... This is a adrenaline fuelled, fast paced, extremely well balanced multi-player experience! For every attack there is a defence. Playing as a pilot (on foot) may seem underpowered compared to the giant robots roaming the cities and deserts, however you do stand a fighting chance... From rockets and grenades to even jumping onto a titan and shooting out its internal systems, there are multiple different methods to bringing one down. It is immensely satisfying when David beats Goliath. All of this said, the game does still suffer in some places. Campaign doesn't really exist. There are 9 select multi-player maps with a voice-over fitted in before each game when your waiting in the pre-game lobby. Its just background noise. Also no character development. When one of my teammates mas sacrificing his life for me, all that was going through my mind was: 'what's his name again'. All this aside Titanfall is still a superb game that succeeds at making you feel like a total badass. Worth buying at full price!

Why... Why did they do this? Unlike its predecessor, this game is complete disaster. They have removed everything good about the old game (e.g co-op mock surrenders, morality choices)and replaced it with 'overkill mode'... wow.

First off the 'story'. Basically non existent, you play as two new characters; Alpha and Bravo, two mind numbingly uninteresting characters that are painfully cheesy. Rios and Salem are also tag along for about 10 minutes. That reminds me, I was given a MORALITY CHOICE in the 40th day where I killed Rios but yet somehow he magically reappears. This game also features one of the most predictable plot twists of all time.

Gameplay is boring, you take cover and gun down some of the worst AI I have ever seen. They will unnecessarily run at you, allowing you to blow them away without even thinking. As far as co-op game play goes the most intense it will get is covering a friend or friendly AI with a machine gun, the odd split pathway is also thrown in. There is no multi-player as the developers said they wanted to focus on a intense CO-OP campaign when really all they have created is a tedious mess. Some minor customisation is featured: different outfits and masks, guns and attachments.

I would not suggest this game to anybody, pick up Army of TWO: the 40th day for half the price if your looking for a decent co-op game. Wasted of money.

Best to ignore the critics on this one!

To start off with I was reluctant to see this film due to the negative reviews it had received from critics, it was only after seeing the film that I realised how wrong they were. It is an absolute blast from start to finish. Johnny Depp nails the character of Tonto and Armie Hammer portrays the 'Lone Ranger' brilliantly. The films characters occasionally had me laughing out loud in the cinema but not to the point that I lost interest in the story, which also is engaging and interesting. One problem that I did encounter with the film was that we are constantly taken to a older Tonto telling the story to a young boy. I kept forgetting that this was happening and it bugged me that the main story was interrupted every now and again. Nevertheless, this is still a fantastic family film that shouldn't be missed.
