I have a love/hate relationship with this game. There's plenty of stuff I do like about it. But there's also major problems I always had with the game. I always liked the cover myself since Sweet Tooth my favorite Twisted Metal character. The soundtrack can differ in people's taste. I do like some Rob Zombie songs gotten into the game. Usually they don't use licensed music in Twisted Metal games. Sadly it's virtually the same plot as Twisted Metal 2 in a nut shell. Calypso wants to extend the competition to the world. They even brought back the same voice actor to reprise the role. Speaking of Calypso, every ending is borderline terrible. The stages just felt unbalanced as a whole. Plus having some of them with stuff to destroy to stop respawning opponents doesn't help things. They even made both Sweet Tooth and Minion hidden characters once again. Geez I wondered which TM game done that before coughs TM2. The new engine with the physics just doesn't work well. Twisted Metal 4 ended up being a much better usage of the same engine. I do like the intro especially one of the best aspects of the game. It's a bit weird from Twisted Metal 2 to 4. The franchise released games right on Halloween. Which I do like being a huge fan of Halloween the holiday for a long time. To me playing TM III felt like a bad TM 2 port. Maybe that's a bit harsh I know. I strongly felt a lot of major changes could go a long way. I'm not even a fan of the roster at all. I always disliked this version of Sweet Tooth with a huge passion. In all honestly that's not Sweet Tooth!!! Sure I could see people enjoying the hell out of this TM game. I may consider getting it if people made mods for it.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the follow up to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is the first prequel in the series, taking the series to the year 1964. The player takes the role as the series' original antagonist, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake.
MGS3 is the first game in the series to take place in a jungle. This unique setting created an opportunity for new mechanics. The player can adapt to the environment by swapping Snake's camouflage, hunt animals and gather plants for food. This iteration in the series introduced a new feature in which the player must apply medicine and perform medical procedures on Snake if he is damaged in combat. Apart from the survival themed features, the controls and gameplay of the game are very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2. Like other Metal Gear games, the focus is on stealth, but the player can go through the entire game like a shooter if they choose to. Throughout the game Snake acquires weapons of all types; non-lethal firearms, handguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and explosives.
Metal Gear Solid 3 was the first game to implement the CQC (close quarters combat) system. CQC allowed Snake to beat enemies down to knock them out, or put them in a chokehold to knock them out, kill them, or and/or question them.
Metal Gear Solid 3's health system required the player to occasionally pause the game and treat Snake's ailments. When Snake is shot, there is a chance that the bullet didn't pass through him, requiring the player to use a knife to remove the bullet, apply disinfectant, apply styptic and bandage the wound. This was done through a submenu in the pause screen. Other ailments the player must treat Snake for include: leeches, broken bones, burns, cut, arrow/bolts/needles, stomach sickness, colds, and food/venom poisoning.
Adding to the survival elements of the game, Snake Eater lives up to its name by requiring the player to scavenge food for Snake. Under the life bar there is stamina bar. If Snake does not eat any food the bar depletes, causing various effects. When the stamina bar is low, the player's ability to aim is severely handicapped, Snake's hands will shake in the first person aiming mode. Just like real life, Snake's stomach can also rumble, enemy soldiers can hear this, and will be alerted to Snake's presence.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth Survival Drama

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe: Kollector's EditionThe game takes place after Raiden, Earthrealm's god of thunder, and Superman, protector of Earth, repel invasions from both their worlds. An attack by both Raiden and Superman simultaneously in their separate universes causes the merging of the Mortal Kombat and DC villains, Shao Kahn and Darkseid, resulting in the creation of Dark Kahn, whose mere existence causes the two universes to begin merging; if allowed to continue, it would result in the destruction of both. Characters from both universes begin to fluctuate in power, becoming stronger or weaker.
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was developed using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 and is available for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. It is the first Mortal Kombat title developed solely for seventh generation video game consoles. Most reviewers agreed that Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was entertaining and made good use of its DC Universe license, but the game's lack of unlockable features as opposed to past installments of Mortal Kombat and toned-down finishing moves garnered some criticism.
