What the hell have I been up to
First of all, Special K, stop rubbing it in. I already mentioned how upset I was about Nintendo launching in NA first. Again. Fuck.
But I've been too busy playing games to get to worked up about it.
What have I been playing?
Not Animal Crossing, I ain't touched that game since before I got wed and now there is just this huge sense of guilt so I may never play it again. And not the new Starfox game that I picked up before I went home to get wed. Haven't gamed much on my DS at all.
I've mainly been PS2ing. I know. I'm a weak man. I caved. There were too many games that I wanted to play and there's no way in hell I'm going to buy a PS3 until it's under 300 bucks. Which is to say not for a long god damn time.
So I bit the bullet and bought a PS2. And a couple handfulls o' games. Didn;t buy as many as I wanted, but the more I buy the more I have to take/bring to Japan and back and I need to start setting aside money for the Wii.
Here's what I've been playing:
God of War: Pretty awesome. The combat is pretty tight, the story is well told and it looks and sounds nice. Plus, y'know, tits and blood! And the extras are a nice touch.
Transformers: My friend's game. He loves them little robot cars. The game is really quite good. Looks, sounds and plays great. It just feels good.
Guitar Hero: I imagine this is what the Wii is going to be like. Enjoyable frustration as you learn how you need to play the game. Awesome game, but I ache after playing it.
Mark of Kri: Rise of the Kasai: The reviews for the original were lackluster but I fucking LOVE that game. So when the sequel got lackluster reviews I figured that I would LOVE it as well. Not the case. Haven't played much of this one at all. Maybe I'll learn to love it.
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door: Cute. Not as compulsively playable as I thought it would be.
Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time: See above.
Mortal Kombat: Hardly played this one either. The Role Playing mode is ridiculous.
Timesplitters: Future Perfect: I love these games. I love the character designs and the character the game exudes. Not afraid to be stupid. Just like me.
Shadow of the Colossus: Love it.
Katamari... I should really write reviews for these things or at least go into more depth. Right. That's what I'll do.
Later.
