All praise for XBLA Perfect Dark

Perfect Dark was one of the best classical shooter games coming out on the Nintendo 64 console. It was released in 2000, and developed by Rare, one of the best development companies back in the day. It received very strong positive reviews from magazines and websites, achieving nearly full scores. In 2002, Microsoft was wise enough to buy out Rare (for whooping US$377 million) and have it developing exclusively for the Xbox. Today, a revamped version of Perfect Dark was released on Xbox Live Arcade, showing updated graphics and HD texture, while sporting a silkier framerate than ever before.

[Review] Aliens vs Predator تقرير لعبة إلينز فرسس بريدتر

Aliens vs Predator (AvP) is a game that combines two of the greatest movie icons from the last two decades.  This franchise reboot maintains the formula of being part stealth, part horror and part shooter. Aliens, Predators and Colonial Marines clash together on a planet that has set pieces from the past few films, such as the ancient temples from the first Alien vs Predator movie, and the jungles from the original Predator. While the story is not ground breaking, it does hold your attention until the end. Each species have their own short campaigns that overlap each other throughout the main storyline. This offers a different perspective on the same situation, while offering a unique experience for each side with vastly different gameplay mechanics. The Colonial Marine campaign is the most polished and the longest, while the Alien and Predator campaigns feel somewhat rushed.
