The Cop or Flop Weekly 2/22/10

Written by Fergus Mills

What’s up everyone. It’s time for another long week of work, school, etc. It’s also time for another Cop or Flop Weekly. Let me just say this. For the next five or so weeks, expect to be playing a lot of good games. You might find yourself having the urge to choose gaming over eating and sleeping, but be strong. Just remember to play in moderation. Take a 15 minute break after every hour of playing, Turn in your homework in on time, and don’t forget to post on the Koalition… My bad, I’m talking to myself. Let’s get right into this week’s game releases

Heavy Rain … PS3

Cop or Flop?… Cop
There are certain games that I shouldn’t have to tell you to cop. It’s just understood that if you consider yourself any kind of respectable gamer, certain games must be played. Heavy Rain is one of those games. If you have a PS3 its simple. Get this game. Heavy Rain is set to deliver an unforgettable, unique gaming experience that blurs the lines between gaming and movies. Don’t let this generation pass you by without playing one of the game will represent this gaming gen five years from now.

Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing … 360, PS3, Wii, DS

Cop or Flop?… Cop
I might be putting too much personal bias in my recommendation that you buy this game, but who doesn’t love a fun racer? Mario Kart gave me so many hours of play back in the the day, that any excuses to play a game like it is fine by me. Sonic Racing can be played heavily when families get together and for random nights of gaming with friends… and the ladies. A great selection of characters and online play also adds to the replayability of SSASR. I suggest picking this one up to diversify your gaming catalog. It’s time to take a break from playing the homies in NBA 2K10 and Call of Duty. Play some Sonic All Star Racing until Battlefield Bad Company 2 comes out.

Metal Slug XX … PSP

Cop or Flop?… Flop
Metal Slug has been doing its thing for a while now. The thing about Metal Slug games though is that they all feel the same.You could buy any version and be just as happy. Sorta like how Koei keeps putting out those wack titles know as Dynasty Warriors. Trying to tell the difference between each game is like trying to solve the pictures that have minor differences in them. For $19.99 this does have some value if you play the PSP that much. Be warned though, Metal Slug XX only has 7 levels and a few bonuses in it. Don’t expect too much replay value.
