My Game Shelf: Bullestorm (PS3)

If you know me outside of this blog, you know that, when it comes to video games, I'm not a big fan of FPS (first-person shooter) games. It's not that I think the games are bad; aside from crap like Call of Duty and Battlefield (yes, I said it; screw you, I don't like them), I actually think a lot of FPS games are really cool, especially sci-fi story-driven ones. No, the reason I don't like most of these games is because, in all honesty, I really suck at them. I don't know what it is about these games, but I just suck, suck, suck when it comes to playing them. It's because of this that I was hesitant to pick up Bulletstorm, the subject was this review. However, after some pretty high praise from at least two Game Stop employees who happen to share similar game tastes to mine, I decided to pick it up.

I was not disappointed.

My Game Shelf: Red Dead Redemption (PS3)

This one has been put off for too long, as I finished the game a few weeks back (I got the game for Christmas last year, but that's another story for another day). So, now that I've got a another review to write (Bulletstorm), I figured I might as well get this one out of the way so I don't get further behind. This week, we'll be looking at what many called "Game of the Year" last year, and one of the all-around finest pieces of work put together by Rockstar Games, Red Dead Redemption.
