So yeah... I wrote this about 9 months ago... it was full of impressions and upcoming hopes... I thought I might publish it (incomplete) for the fact that I actually wrote alot... anyways I may go back to this one and comments on my comments 9 months later...
======================================================================================
Soooo.... its that time of the year... time to finish up all those games you didn't finish from last years gaming season and start gathering the ones from this year.... and man is it a big year.... Although the season is already kind of a disappointment in that some of the major titles that were supposed to be holiday titles were pushed to 08' ... but I guess at least the have learned not to rush it...
Puzzle Quest:
yeah I beat this one just yesterday... It was alot of work for just 200 achievement points... but it was soooooo worth it... This game has alot of content for being such a simple concept. If you like puzzle games, and you like simple RPG games... this is a must have on your Xbox, PSP, DS, or PC.
Halo 3:
I don't really have much to say about this game... it was kind of a walk in the park but it did a good job making you feel like you are fighting some battle on a much grander scale. It was fun for the 4 player co-op but I am not really one for pvp since I don't want to devote my life to being good. So if you like pvp then this is where it is at but if you are a FPS story player you might want to go check out....
Orange Box:
I was never that big of a Half Life fan but I must say portal caught my attention. I met the guys behind Portal when I was up in Redmond Washington at DiGiPen looking at going to grad school there. I thought it was a good idea then. Also Team Fortress 2 look hilarious, the little meet the blank spots they did cracked me up. Anyways Phil called me up one day and was like I am going to go buy Orange Box after work so it was the last little nudge to go buy it. After I got bored with TF2 and beat Portal (only about 4 hours) I was like man now that was a lot of money for just those two games... I booted up Half Life 2 (The first one not the eps) and started playing it... I must say it is actualy alot of fun... now I feel like danm I got 5 high quality games for only 60 bucks... thats a deal.
Skate:
While I was out buying Orange Box I decide to splurge and pick up this little gem. I had tried the demo on Xbox Live and was amazed at how easy it was to pick up and play. the controls actually feel right and the whole movement of the game is so fluid that its actually easy to chain tricks together and make some pretty cool stuff happen. I finished up this game the same day as puzzle quest... and would recommend anyone who things that Tony Hawk is a little on the rediculus side to pick this up and try it.
Hellgate London:
So this one is kind of weird... I got it a day early because of some weird shipping issue from gamestop... I loaded it up and started playing it with some lack luster results... The game was buggy and had memory issues and alot of info seemed missing from like the tool tips... When the servers went live there was a patch waiting for me and when loaded it seem to fix some minor glitches but not take away any of the major issues that were plaging the game... about 2 weeks later and about 5 bizzlion patachs the game is actualy turning out alot better... they have alot better explanation of things... the major memory problems are gone... the lag has been resolved... and the games challenge has been stepped up... I guess when all is said and done the game is shapping up well... If you loved Diablo 2 then I deff recommend picking this up... it plays and feels just like it only with guns and a different setting...
From this point on are games I am looking forward to.
Rock Band & Guitar Heroes 3:
So I preordered my mega pack of Rock Band... I must say I belive all the hype is deserved this game has a great selection of songs with a bit of innovation and a dash of online play could be awesome... I hope they roll out some good DLC as the have planned.... I must say that the one thing I like in rock band over guitar heroes 3 is that the difficulty is truly scalable... Guitar Heroes 3 is just out of controle and really only playable if you have like devoted the last 20 years of your life to playing the game.... and at that point.... dude.... pickup a guitar....
