the features of army of two

Advantages: a very violent and enjoyable game with great coop gameplay
Disadvantages: it is shorter than expected

...Army of two is about two rangers, who after their first mission of watching a mercenary in action are offered a job as one. they decide to join and become mercenaries too. This game is inventive in the way that you can customise your weapons and armour. This varies from the size of the barrel to pimping your gun to make it look cool (make it gold!). But each one of these add-on's affects your damage, range, magazine cap. and aggro. This brings me too the most important feature of the game which makes it stand out from most other games. Aggro: this is where the focus of fire is concentrated more on one person. This means they have the "aggro". The reason aggro is important for this game is that your strategy in the game is based mainly around it. For example, if one person takes the "aggro" then the other player can sneak round...

British Army - sorts the men from the boys

Advantages: Good Experience
Disadvantages: Often Dangerous, Underpaid for half the work !

...The British Army provides a real way out for many people, it gives morales and standards to many young people, who otherwise wouldnt have a chance of survival in their home environment. As an employer, it often neglects its duty of care, and the work environments can be exceptionally challenging, the day to day life often crosses the thin line of ridiculousness, and again, as an employer, the Ministry of Defence fails to protect its employees from several areas of harm that should not be found in the Army. The Recruitment process usually starts in the Recruiting Station, where a potential recruit will make several visits to discuss their options. After a few tests, they can choose a trade, in which the Army will train them to be proficient in their undertakings. As time continues the Soldier will gain valuable experience in his...

Aldershot Army Show

Advantages: Children are free to enter, gives the public an insight into army life past and present
Disadvantages: Foul toilets, dusty sight, no shade.

...Aldershot Army Show: On the 16th July, my family and I attended the Aldershot Army Show. This was the second time we had attended and as previously, had a fantastic day out. I would like to share with you some of our experiences and some photographs of the 2006 show. ****** HISTORY OF THE SHOW ****** Aldershot is a military area. In 1918 a horse show was staged here for the first time which saw both officers and civilians compete in certain events. This was known as "The Horse and Hound Show". By 1930, the show was growing in popularity and it was renamed "The Aldershot Show". In 1961 the Army introduced a new variety of displays. However due to heavy usage of Rushmoor Arena in world war two, it was decided to use Queens Parade as its venue. The event was known as the KAPE campaign, which means, Keep...

Review of Aldershot Army Show

A is for Army of Two, its also for Average

Advantages: Good fun for a night, best played with a friend
Disadvantages: Poor online, repetitive and no gore!

...Army of Two When I first heard about Army of Two I was so excited, me and my friends would download as many trailers as we could and discuss it quite frequently, then when the game actually came out only one of us got it and said the game was not worth buying, well a few weeks ago I came across it in the pre-owned section with a 2 for £30 sticker on, so I picked Circle of Doom up and Army of Two to try them out for myself and when I got home that was the first thing I did. Story In the very beginning you make your character selection of either Salem of Rios, on both times I have chosen Salem as he seems more like the cute and friendly and some how quite good looking for someone who has worked in the army for a long time, whilst Rios is the tough brute who looks like a marine and has a few scars, your typical solider...

Army of Two - Join Blockbuster

Advantages: Good fun with a mate
Disadvantages: Its a little too shallow to last long

...Army of Two... weeks playing time Army of Two provides an intense co-operative experience, and at first glance seems like a very solid game. It incorporates plenty of tactics and co-op brutality and the graphics looks sharp. Unfortunately, that is expected of any decent contender in the next-genration first person shooter genre nowadays. The game does hold the player's imagination and attention throughout the first play, but at six missions it is a little on the short side. The game also struggles from a few minor control issues which slightly limit the experience, but its so vivid and hectic that the initial panic an shellshock should distract you long enough for you not to notice to much. The ragdoll physics on your enemies add to the realism, but are fast becoming a standard feature in the new releases in this field. The only...

Review of Army of Two (Xbox 360)

Army Of Two

Advantages: Good split screen fun.
Disadvantages: Poor online, poor storyline.

...Don't get me wrong, Army of Two has it's moments but it's just not a great game. This was for a while one of PlayStation 3's great hypes and unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. We have a water weak story line about power and corruption seen from the perspective of two guys that we really don't care to much about. Put it this way, if this was a teen slasher, these lads would be the first to get the chop. The system of using the two characters works ok, but i felt that my AI controlled assistant was pretty much there to take the heat off of me whenever i got into hot water. He'd run off at times leaving me with a shower of bullets and nothing but disgruntlement at his shortcomings. Stick another controller in however and you can have great fun playing this on split screen Co-op as you and your buddies sink some beers and laugh at each...

BARMY ARMY

Advantages: Funny as ever
Disadvantages: None

...Dads army?.Dad's barmy more like . This grand old classic is back on our screens on a Saturday night BB2, 7.30pm. It is a perennial repeat favourite, which blossoms every couple of years and never seems to loose it's appeal. It's the story of the home guard in England, during World War 2, and is a gentle and nostalgic look at the misadventures of a Home Guard platoon in the fictional South Coast town of Walmington-on-Sea , and features many favourite comedy actors of all time. Arthur Lowe (captain Mainwearing) , John le Mesurier (sergeant Wilson), Clive Dunn, (corporal Jones), Ian Lavender (private Pike) to mention but a few. It was made between1968 and 1977, and you could argue it is a little dated, but like many classic comedies it has a timeless element because although it is set over 50 years a go now much of he comedy is drawn...

Review of BBC1 - Dad's Army

Don't Panic!! Dad's Army Has Arrived

Advantages: Loveable characters that remain with you
Disadvantages: Shame there are still episodes missing

...Dad?s Army is a British comedy series that was broadcast between 1968 and 1977. In a BBC poll in 2004 to find Britain?s best sitcom the show was voted number 4 ? just ahead of Fawlty Towers and Yes Minister but below The Vicar of Dibley, Blackadder and Only Fools and Horse, which topped the list. What is Dads Army? The premise for Dad?s Army is very simple indeed. The show follows the men of the home guard of Walmington-on-Sea on the south coast of England during World War 2. The series is based around their antics as they try to become a force fit to withstand anything thrown at them by the Nazis, or the Wardens or the Church Verger. The series as a whole is technically told as a series of flashback stories as the first episode begins in the ?present day? at a dinner as Captain Mainwaring addresses his old platoon...

Review of Dad's Army - Series 1/Lost Episodes Of Series 2 (DVD)

Army of Two Review

Advantages: Passes the time, Easy Achievements
Disadvantages: Boring gameplay, Short Story, Horrible multiplayer

...Great game that can be a lot of fun when played with a friend, but otherwise the game really isn't worth your time or money. I purchased Army of Two as a bridge between becoming bored of Call Of Duty 4, and awaiting Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 and Grand Theft Auto 4. In the week in which I owned the game I had a lot of fun completing the game on all of its difficulty settings with a friend. This is however what the game comes down to, If you have nobody to play it with, its not worth a rent. If you do, it is worth a rent only. This game shouldn't be bought like I stupidly did. The reason behind this is simple, the game is incredibly linear, even to today's standards. It is very easy, even on the harder settings, thanks to the games Artificial Intelligence being embarrassingly stupid. The level design in this game is below par, with repeat...
