The First 45 - Fracture
When King Of The Hill Is Taken Too Seriously
A change in format - we've done away with catagorizing and went with a straight recap of our thoughts on the first 45 minutes of play. What do you think?

At heart, The First 45 is a first impressions video. There's a catch, the impressions we offer are taken solely from the first 45 minutes that we spend playing a game. They say first impressions are the most important, and we feel it is the same with games. If you really aren't pulled into a game within the initial hour, chances are good you won't dig it after that.
There are no exceptions, this is exactly the beginning 45 minutes, from the time we boot up the game. What if the game pulls an MGS and starts with a 30 minute cutscene? That's too bad. We live in a fast pace society, and we don't have time to waste. We just want to play games.

GREAT!
I'm all for interesting kinds of weapons and stuff to spice up shooter, but this one just felt gimmicy to me, the demo was enough. At least LA made a non-Start Wars/Indy game.
Ya know, I hate to say this but the Unreal Tournament Armor is being way beyond over-used. I wish these companies could be a little more inventive when it comes to armor. It kinda takes away from these newer titles.
