In the Prologue of this fascinating memoir, Barbara Walters explains that one of her motivations for writing about her life was that young people starting out in television sometimes said to her: "I want to be you." Barbara's stock reply was: "Then you have to take the whole package."

I bought this item based on the reviews here on Amazon.com from other HDTV users and after trying every possible antenna angle and every possible configuration it WEAKENED my signal strength by half! What a waste of money. I bought the Antenna Direct DB-2 and it works remarkably well especially cons

I have a Canon Powershot (this works in both SD1000 & SD1100) and this works like a charm in there. At standard 640x480 it says it registers more than 9,999 shots...

Didn't work with my older laptop's SD card reader, but a $6 USB card reader adaptor solved that (definately recommended)

Very Good
9/28/2008
I rented this game, came home and played it. I loved it. I am a kid and haven't played many M games. I played it for a few minutes and you could already tell there where bad words in the game. The graphics are great. One of the other great things about the game is that you can earn money and use it to buy more guns and armor. I would recomend this game to anyone who likes 3rd person shooters. Another great thing about the game is that you can be ducking behind a barrier and just put your hand up and shoot which I haven't seen in any other game. The last great thing is that if you're next to your partner and press A they will interact with you, but if you press the Right Trigger you will wack,headbut,and hit each other in fun! Overall I think this is ok for kids over 11 only if you're not afraid of trash talk.

bad language
9/19/2008
The game is awesome. THe coop gameplay takes the game to a whole new level i played it and beat it several times with my friends. The Single player game is same a coop but it just isn't as fun.

Although I loved the game the language was over the top. It totally ruined the game having that much cursing... i mean i can handle a little her and there but i think every cut scene had one curse word or another. I was unnessicary and took away from the game. I don't care what anyone else says there is no need to put anything like that in a video game. If I had know it was going to be like that I would not have purchasing the game.

Overall the gameplay was good so if you aren't afriad of offensive language I reccomend you buy the game. I would not have bought this game for my kids given what i know now though.

Probably would be better with two
9/13/2008
I finally got around to renting Army of Two, and will definitely recommend a rent instead of a buy. While the game is enjoyable, there are some things that hold it back. Your AI partner leaves much to be desired; there are times when you'll tell him to hold aggro, only to find out that he doesn't really feel like it. This is a pain later on when you've got a ton of enemies shooting at you, and a dumb computer doing it's own thing, causing you to restart countless times at the last checkpoint. I imagine that this wouldn't be an issue in co-op, since you and your buddy could talk it out (I didn't play co-op, so I can't say for sure). Along those lines, I had to shoot the computer at 3-4 different spot because he kept getting stuck on the level. That leads to another issue; getting stuck. There were a few times in the game (most noticeably the monorail level) where I myself would get stuck. I would move the stick, and the camera would shake like I was moving, but I was not moving at all. It fixed itself eventually, but it was a huge inconvenience.

If you're expecting a long, engaging game, look somewhere else. It took me five days to beat (due to other responsibilities), with a total of maybe 6-7 hours game time. It probably wouldn't have even taken that long had I actually had a human partner. The story is a little thin, and I felt like it was trying to make a moral point (private military companies = evil corporations). Sometimes the objectives aren't always made clear on your GPS. If you look to far right or left, the red arrow guiding you will disappear...and sometimes there's not even a red arrow to guide you.

At times, the weaponry feels a little weak, and this leads to another of my issues: you knock someone down with a shot (say a sniper round or rifle shell), but you can't kill them until they're going through their get back up animation. If someone's on the ground, and I'm shooting them, they shouldn't be able to get back up.

For parents, you need to know there is a LOT of cursing. I know the game takes place with two ex-Army guys (and I know how Army guys are, being a former one myself) put into some overwhelming firefights. So, like a good soldier, they're gonna curse...a lot, and then some. It's not a problem for me now, but being a new father I'm sure in the near future it will become one. As for the violence, I think it's fairly tame compared to some games (namely Gears where you can chainsaw the locust with blood spattering on the screen)...there's blood, but not an overabundance of it.

I think my final gripe with the game is the menu screens/load and wait times. Just to start playing, you have to go through 4 (if I remember correctly) menu screens. Then you need to wait for the game to load. If it's your first time, you'll have to watch a cut scene (which you'd probably do anyways). If it's your second time, you have to watch the same cut scene...that's right, there's no skipping ahead to the fun parts you sneaky tricksters! During the mission, you can go "mid-mission" shopping, which is a neat idea...only it takes a while to load the screen, then you need to go through even more menu options to get what you want.

Overall, I had an alright time with the game. If not for trying to get the achievements, I wouldn't play through the game again. It's good for a run through, but after that there's not really much to bring you back (unless you're after achievements like myself).

A solid co-op FPS, but only after you get the free DLC.
9/9/2008
This title initially came across as just another mediocre FPS. However, after I played through the additional down-loadable content it improved it's status markedly. The two highlights of the game are:
The gun customization system that emulates RPG like leveling elements through financial resource management.
Strategic use of the "aggro" system- combining suppressing fire techniques, distraction and flanking.

Whole story line maybe seen as telegraphed the game features a narrative does create a set of final bosses you genuinely want to "eliminate with extreme prejudice." However, the first few bosses are merely cliched munition fodder.

Combat sequences are well paced and unfold in an intuitive manner.

Vehicle (hovercraft specifically) combat and parachuting sequences have a good feel to them and excellent physics but they are so easy they become quickly forgotten.

One other thing of note is that this game does a good job of creating an immersive atmosphere for the Blackwater-esque corporate mercenary that is lacking in other titles of this genre.

While it's no COD4 or Gears of War it is definitely exceeds the benchmarks of the average FPS titles that feature tacked-on co-op. It becomes readily apparent the this game was designed around the co-op experience and that's where it shines brightest.

I would put the total experience somewhere between 3&1/2 and 4 stars.

Lucky to get 2 stars
9/9/2008
I absolutely love first person shooter games. I've been an avid fan of them since the early days of Doom. And I usually play them all.

I was excited when this game came out, it sounded really interesting because of the Co-op. Well, save your money.

While the graphics are not too bad, and the storyline is at least average if not better, the controls are absolutely horrible. In my opinion the thing that makes or breaks a FPS is the ability to control your character's movement *intuitively*. Having to snap back to back to keep a circle cleared may work really well in real life, but it is so confusing in a game that I literally sold the game after playing it for 2 hours. I tried really hard to get into the controller and get used to it, and I'm a pretty patient person, but try as I did, I just couldn't get good at the controls.

My advice is to rent this game first! Try it out, see if you are okay with the control layout BEFORE you invest your money.

I hope this was helpful.
