From this point forth I need to remind myself not to review another first person shooter straight after playing Killzone 2. Following a four hour stint immersed in Guerrilla Game's epic first person shooter, Rebellion's Shellshock 2: Blood Trails is probably the worst game I could have picked up.
The 2009 GameStooge Awards continue with the fifth part of the Awards – the worst games of 2009, as well as the best mobile games.

You will have the normal FPS problems of not knowing about gunfire until it's hitting you, heightened by the fact that zombies often seem to jump out of nowhere in the darker levels if you can't hear their footsteps. All the important dialogue is subtitled though, and while it's clear enough where to go next in most situations, a mini-map would have helped in the rare open-concept levels.
CheatCC says: "With its iffy gunplay, often frustrating gameplay, linear level design, short completion time (four to six hours max), clichéd and uninteresting story, and complete lack of multiplayer, only the most desperate of players should attempt to squeeze any enjoyment out of this lemon."
LOL
kind of funny...as wasn't Shellshock: nam '67 GG's first game?...
whatever...the best part is how everyone an their dentist said killzone 2 would suck mostly because GG 'had never made a great game'...wrong...move along...
Third time I've seen this review posted here in a week.
