We grabbed this game from a bargain bin on the day we brought home our Xbox and were expecting disappointing shovelware: Not at all. We had so much fun with this game, and are still quoting lines from it to this day. It's a game that looked at the original movie, saw its humour and the neat spins it gave to fairytales and really took it to heart. There is a LOT of heart and energy put into this game. The controls really keep shrek being an ogre in mind (you can grab, fart and burp) but are dropping him into mostly bright nursery rhyme and fairytale environments, creating a great contrast. The game rewards you for exploring each world, too. While the controls could be a tad floaty, it almost added to it? It suited Shrek. I'd love to play this again, the writers' freedom shined through to me as a kid so I bet I'd appreciate it on another level now

Metal Slug 6Metal Slug 6 returns to the Rebel-Martian alliance featured in Metal Slugs 2, X, and 3, but on a much broader scale. Rather than repeating the previous games' events of the Martians breaking the alliance and the Rebels assisting the player in turn, the player now teams up with the Rebels and Martians to combat an even greater threat.
Metal Slug 6 introduces a new play mechanic dubbed the 'Weapon Stock System'. Two gun power-ups can now be carried at the same time. Players can switch between the two weapons, or simply put them both away in favor of the default weapon. When obtaining a new weapon power-up, it will automatically occupy the inactive slot, or, if both are holstered, replace the less recent weapon of the two.
The score is now multiplied by powers of 2. The faster the speed at which enemies are killed, the higher the power, as a meter at the bottom of the screen shows. When it says "Max" enemies and destructible objects will drop coins for an extra high score.Action Warfare
