Portal 2 End Song “Want You Gone”
Still love the song from the first one, but I am starting to like this one.
The New American Crisis: Public Drunken Babies
This is the third case of a restaurant serving a small child some sort of alcoholic drink. I hope this is a case of “things coming in three” and not some long running problem that is just now coming to the surface. But really how much training can it take to teach a server to tell the difference between alcohol and a non alcoholic drink like apple juice or even better maybe how to card a toddler before serving them a drink

Man, I Am Glad That Look Didn’t Last
He looks like either like a 70s Porn Star or a Pedophile, maybe that is why they changed it after the first episode.
Homefront Is No Home Run
Homefront is a standard FPS wrapped around a unique story; in the year 2027 a unified Korea has taken over mainland America. While the premise does sound fucking awesome, it’s truly the only bright part of the game.
Single Player:
The single player campaign is just too short. Shooters tend to run on the short side (10-20 max), but Homefront is ridiculously short clocking in at 9 hours of game time. Not only is it short, but it’s buggy: sluggish cameras that take precious time to move, running feeling like Bill Clinton on a jaunty jog in sweats, and squatting for cover behind objects that provides little or no cover. Many times I had to restart from a checkpoint because the A.I. wasn’t following along or worse it would trap me between it and an object. I can’t begin to count the number of times that I was gunned down because an enemy A.I decided I was the last thing left on earth; when this happened friendly NPCs wouldn’t be able to hit the broad side of a barn, much less the enemy.
Multiplayer:
It took me two days to finally find a multi-player match, there just weren’t enough servers available to handle all the users. I’m not sure if they thought no one would be buying their game, or if they just didn’t think far enough ahead, but this is pretty damn problematic.
I played skirmish, with switches between death match and Homefront’s version of capture the flag. You can choose between several styles, including vehicles, and playing the matches will earn you Battle Points that you can spend to buy upgrades and other snazzy in game stuff.
Rating: 6/10
Overall, I would say that if you’re interested in playing this game, think about renting it and see if it holds replay value for you. The story is truly unique among FPS, and despite its bugs, it does keep you busy for a few hours.
