Album Name: “Darkness in the Light”

Band: “Unearth”

Review: This is a heavy metal band that has a melodic feel to it but is more Americanized by having understandable lyrics that are not screamed throughout parts of the album andhaving a more familiar sound. The lyrics that are screamed can barely be understood if at all, but the instrumentals during the vocal pauses more than make up for that in most cases. This band is not very popular, but may soon have a radio- ready presence, giving them a well- needed push into the spotlight. Based on what I’ve heard from “Darkness in the Light” I really wish Unearth the best in getting the popularity that every band strives for.

Graphics- This game is possibly the first to ever stray from the mainstream high definition, realistic graphics. Instead, they put a certain shadow emphasis on inanimate objects and made muscles and body parts sort of pop. It seems as if the developers decided to skip a step in editing the graphics purposely to make this game unique. The character you play as, as well as your friends character, is very limited in customization. You can change colors  of clothing but that’s all. Also, you can only choose from 6- 10 colors depending on what article of clothing you are editing. Depending on how you feel about the graphics, good or bad, can effect whether or not you will like this game. Personally, I enjoyed the games uniqueness, so I played it through for a bit.

Buy, Rent, Pass- Rent. I can’t really say whether or not certain people will like this game because it is a new series without any background (game, movie, book, etc.). I can say that if you need a change of pace from “Left for Dead 2″, “Modern Warfare 2″, or any newly released game, then you probably should rent this one. Chances are that you will not beat this game in the time that you are able to rent it unless you don’t need to sleep or eat to function. If after you return the game from renting and you want to buy it, then go ahead. This game may or may not be worth the $60 to every gamer, I would wait for a price drop or buy it used if considering to buy this rpg/shooter.
