Quick reviews of Duke Nukem: Forever (360) and Brink (360)

DUKE NUKEM: FOREVER

Pros:

Fast paced action.nice range of unique guns.

duke's one liners and other pop culture references.

sections of the game when you shrink are fun to play.

plays like a classic shooter rather then a modern shooter.

Cons:

Long load times.

some have mentioned framrate issues but i didn't come across it.

2007 graphics if you care so much about them.

SCORE - 6.5/10

BRINK

Pros:

Surprisingly well balanced ****s and body types.

promotes teamwork without making it a chore.

Decent amount of customizability.

Free-running is great once you've gotten used to it.

All game modes can be done cooperatively.

Cons:

Story line is sub-par at best.

twitchy AI bots - switches from docile cow to rampaging bull.

Poor party management issues – no in-game lobbies, randomly denying players to join (my level 20 character couldn't join my friends level 16 but he could join me).

Engineer turrets are hit and miss – will randomly ignore enemies.

Sessions go from no lag to game crippling lag (when it rains, it pours).

SCORE - 8/10
