Bad Company 2 takes the single player in the wrong direction, but it's a small price to pay considering the improvements made to the multiplayer.

The setting of a game world can have a personality much like a character, but only if the developer is willing to flesh it out. Unfortunately, not every game that's released is able to successfully pull off this narrative technique, but when done right it can really enhance the experience for the player.

Just Cause 2 features enough non stop insanity to make it one of this year's best games so far.

It may not be a stunning shooter, but compared to the first game Bound In Blood is a big success.

Virtual gore is not excessive and just mirrors the progression of the technology used to make video games.
