yeah pay no attention to Mike dude. i love what you do with your reviews. they’re always straight up. Mike just hates everyone and everything especially EA. what a joke.

and this Audio Recap thing is BRILLIANT! (i’m one of those ones who doesn’t read lol)

yeah i have a link in all my reviews to the page that details how i review

and i always give pros and cons. i guess not in specific categories lol. i’m aware people don’t generally read which is the reason for introducing the Audio Recaps.

audio recaps = I LOVE EM. would like to see them as lawlhalla suggested too.

and geez…can you not have your own opinion? not everyone just craps on games because a certain publisher is involved. and as you can see others have enjoyed the game.

great job Deacon. the audio recap makes it unique and even more enjoyable!

great audio addition Deacon! and stfu Mike. can a guy not enjoy games and not be required to shit on them just because it’s an EA game?

and i do believe there’s a link in the review that says HOW I REVIEW GAMES. i don’t know it could just be me that sees it though lol

Thanks for the review. Deac I value player’s reviews much more than online reviews. Can you tell us the scales you use to arrive at the numbers? I also agree, pros and cons would be a cool addition. What if you added, What I like most and what I dislike most abuot the game? Just some thoughts, thanks!

Deac… I really wonder if you are required by EA to never rate their games below a 8.0, or they’ll stop sending you FREE copies. = I do wonder that, & it’s something EA is known for.

Now I just want to make a point, Deac… Is there any chance for you to forego Review Scores in favor of Pro’s & Con’s?

People need to learn it’s what is said in the review, than caring about score points, because there could be a CON in there that may make the game a 5.3 to someone, or a PRO and make someone rush out to buy it… It’s just an issue I’ve always had with reviews.

I too am playing it now (off and on) and have enjoyed it, but for me the original Mercs was so unique that it is tough to ignore the second installment’s shortcomings (very easy to defeat enemy AI, odd reacting AI, subdued targets being found stuck in midair and unable to secure them for extraction, etc…).

i playing right now haha but i’m still hoping my friend gets this game, because co-op in it is definitely a plus. though i dont really like the fact that you can only have 3 support powerups “equiped” at once, and that you have to search for fuel and the strikes themselves.
i liked that in mercs 1 a lot better.
oh and i ripped your audio file to put on my zune lol. you might start another podcast with only the audio reviews?
