People, what’s good. School been abusing me lately so I apologize for the Cop or Flop being late, but the wait is over. A good amount of video games are coming out this week if you looking for something new to play. A few of them should been on your radar and a few of them should not exist. I could run through all of them, but I don’t feel like giving out a million flops. Just sit back, relax, and checkout what gets the Cop or Flop this week.

Cop or Flop: Cop
I don’t have a DS, but if i did this would be a game that I would play during car rides and airplane trips. This game has a very unique concept. Type or write a word and that noun or object appears in the game. Simple gameplay yet genius at the same time. Someone with this game type in F. Mills marrying Alicia Keys and tell me what happens.

Cop or Flop: Flop
I was on the fence about this one. First I want to say that this game is completely cop worthy if you like the first game or need a beat em up game in your library. With that being said I personally was disappointed. While playing the game I was constantly thinking about how ugly some of these costumes look on my TV. Could they not hire better voice actors? Why do all these fusion attacks do the same moves with different colors? None of the stuff above didn’t bother mean on the gameplay end, but what killed my experience for me was the manipulation of the Civil War storyline. You only get a couple of stages of the greatness that the Civil War was before you get hit with a video game friendly alternative to the situation and play through that story most of the game. The new story add on isn’t bad, not that great either, but my personal bias is coming into play with this flop. If they stuck to the Civil War storyline this game had the potential to be a classic in my eyes. However, after playing for about 4 hours and realized the changes and that the game really wasn’t getting funner as I played it, I continued to play it with resentment. Most people might put decision to flop in the category of lame with this decision, but anyone copping this expecting it to be anywhere near as hot as the real Civil War storyline might have their experience altered as well.

Games like this is the reason to have Gamefly. Price alone warrants a flop for this game. It just isn’t long enough and lacks replay value. A $60 price point would make anyone skip over this game. I like the demo though. WET is constantly being compared to Stranglehold and I like that game. WET seems like the perfect game to stay up on late night and play it until its beat. You also can’t go wrong by naming the game WET either.
