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.

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VIIDirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is an action role-playing third-person shooter. As the first shooter game in the Final Fantasy series, the action is viewed from an over-the-shoulder perspective similar to Resident Evil 4, although players can switch to a first-person perspective if they wish. Defeating enemies yields EXP, and at the end of each stage, the player can either use that EXP to level up, increasing Vincent's stats, or convert it to Gil (the in-game currency), which can then be used to purchase items and equipment upgrades.Action Fantasy Science fiction

Nuclear StrikeNuclear Strike is a shooter video game developed and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation in 1997. The game is the sequel to Soviet Strike and the fifth instalment in the Strike series, which began with Desert Strike on the Sega Genesis. The Soviet Strike development team also created Nuclear Strike. EA released a PC port the same year; THQ developed and in 1999 published a Nintendo 64 version called Nuclear Strike 64.
Nuclear Strike is a helicopter-based game, with strategy elements added to the action gameplay. The plot concerns an elite special force - the player's allies - pursuing a nuclear-armed rogue spy through a fictionalised Asian setting. It retained the earlier game's engine but added several modifications to improve graphical performance and make the game more accessible. The game features 15 playable vehicles, a large increase from previous games. In addition to the main fictionalised Apache, there are secondary helicopters, jets, armour and a hovercraft. The player also commands ground troops in occasional real-time strategy sections.
The game received positive, negative and mixed reviews. Critics noted a weak storyline, though GameSpot dismissed this is as unimportant in an action game. GameSpot called the graphics - which made use of specialised hardware such as 3Dfx Voodoo video cards and the N64 Expansion Pak - "about as good as it gets", while Allgame said they are "decent" and Daily Radar called them "horrible". Critics praised the full motion video as well as the music and sound effects. Reviewers enjoyed the straightforward gameplay but several complained of a close similarity to its predecessor Soviet Strike and questioned the game's value as a result.Action
