Under the Radar: Darkwatch
I didn�t attempt the competitive multiplayer because I figured that a) the service wouldn�t be available, or b) nobody would be playing it anymore. The game does have a co-op mode too, but I didn�t have anybody to test it out with. My girlfriend isn�t very big on FPS games.
I can�t help but walk away from Darkwatch feeling unfulfilled. The game is serviceable, and if you�re looking for a quick PS2 era run and gun shooter you could do a lot worse. Darkwatch also did the whole undead West thing before Undead Nightmare so it gets some points there. However the weird controls and constant use of arena sections where you have to fight off waves of enemies really slowed down the game�s flow and sapped its energy. I can�t say I�m truly sad that Darkwatch flew under the radar for me.
Next up on Under the Radar: I had to scratch Dead Space off my list because I wasn�t enjoying it. It felt like a chore to play. C�est la vie right? Instead I�ve been playing Pok�mon HeartGold and I got some things to say about it. Stay tuned!

Hey Dtoid, I'm TriplZer0.
I'm a science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction writer by trade, but aside from writing, video games are my biggest passion. I also write over at Gamer Limit.
The first console my brothers and I ever got was an SNES for Christmas one year. Since then, we've owned an N64, Playstation, PS2, and an Xbox 360. I got a Gameboy Color one year for Christmas, but my brothers are more into handheld gaming than me. Every time they upgrade to the latest system I get their hand-me-downs. That's how I obtained my GBA and my two DS's. Handheld gaming for some reason doesn't interest me even though I know there are great games out there. The first console I've ever been the exclusive owner of is my PS3. The first games I ever played were Super Mario World, F-Zero, 7th Saga (which I've written about), and Out of This World.
My favorite genres are RPGs (Western or Japanese), FPS, action/adventure, and RTS (even though I suck at them).
