Now playing- Enslaved. I think I got it for $15 and it's good fun. A bit simple and overly scripted, with a camera that really really really wants you to look at what it tells you, but sometimes (more rarely for me lately) that's a nice break.

Serious Sam DD- Side-scrolling shooty mad goodness. It's pleasantly mad and oozing testosterone.



Trackmania 2: Canyon- Only played a bit of it so far, just because it's not really out yet and the online multiplayer is all that's available. Stunt-track racing doesn't get any better, period.



I also beat Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet a week or two ago. Here's a link to the review I wrote, if anyone wants to give it a read.

Tons of great stuff on the way for September- The Binding of Isaac, Dead Island, Hard Reset, Ico/Shadow of Colossus, maybe Warhammer: Space Marine. And the Minecraft 1.8 update is going to kill me, I can tell. :)

So what are you obsessing over, or planning to lose a significant chunk of your life to?

Spending weeks+ on RPGs levelling up til I was the meanest
S.O.B to grind my way through hobbit land.

Scaring the shit out of meself playing jap zombie games like Forbidden Siren.

It became all I ever wanted to do..food,sex and even drugs where secondary to me. I will never forget being focused using dexamfetamine(speed) to complete final boss fights on Metal Gear etc.

I've got an XBOX 360 yet hardly ever use it now.It's not that i don't want to..since stopping using the dex i've got the attention span of a kid in school who evil teachers decide to put in the special class.They did that to me in infant school.Fuck,I really enjoyed it too...I felt like The Joker having the time of his life in Arkham.

For me gaming is cool.But if you get to the state I did then it is definitely time to take stock and say "What the fuck!!!".

Tried out the multiplayer online version of 'Resistance 3'. Only a couple of maps available, but it's fun. There are lots of glitches still.

'Assassin's Creed: Revelations' online multiplayer is still sitting waiting to be tried. Not holding out much hope it'll be any better than the 'Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood' online experience.

I've found that the enjoyment of an MMO depends upon how they cater to which camp you fall into: The "MMOs are less boring versions of Second Life" camp, or the "MMOs are bigger versions of what's on my Nintendo" camp.

CO doesn't seem to cater to the first group as much as other MMOs. You can do 99% of the missions without being in a group just fine, and you're not grubbing around killing random bad guys for resources to build some actually useful armor for your character. I mean, you can do it, but it doesn't seem to be too important to the game and really is optional unlike the fake-optional of games like LoTRO.

Since you're Gold, the whole game is available to you. I say give it a spin if you got the free time.

Unless, you know, you prefer mining. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10196&Focus=308328#Comment_308328 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10196&Focus=308328#Comment_308328 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 03:00:03 -0700 Jamie Heron (It does make me wonder how I could enjoy Mass Effect 1 and 2 so much, yet despise Dragon Age: Origins as much as I do.

Been playing Borderlands GOTY (it was ridiculously cheap on Steam a week or so ago), League of Legends (I really just need to uninstall it until I have no other games to play because it is fucking addictive and at the same time it feels like a waste because there is so little progress to be made), and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

I'm not sure how I feel about DE:HR yet. It's like the game doesn't want me to play it, because every time I get really stuck into it and start enjoying it it crashes on me (black screen cutscene crash for those playing at home). Got so pissed off with the first boss battle (it's 2011, can't we just get rid of boss battles in any non-arcade-style game?), and with the fact that the game crashed when I finally beat him, that I took two days off from the game and haven't really been feeling it since then. I've played a few more hours, but more because I spent good money on it and I should play it, rather than because I want to.

I'm not really interested in any of the upcoming titles (no new release I'm waiting on until ME3 I think), so I'm sure I'll have time to get into it and enjoy it before something else starts vying for my attention. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10196&Focus=308412#Comment_308412 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10196&Focus=308412#Comment_308412 Sun, 04 Sep 2011 23:18:23 -0700 andycon

Also, apparently the PC version (which I'm playing due to an unbreakable preference for anything FPS to be on PC, where my trackball and keyboard provide perfect controls) had a dev version released with all sorts of probelms, most of which got patched out after a very rocky start. So despite some initial launch-day problems it's working fine now.

And I beat Enslaved before starting, so now I can feel good about not adding another mostly-done game to my giant pile of unfinished shame. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10196&Focus=308735#Comment_308735 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10196&Focus=308735#Comment_308735 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 16:57:45 -0700 William George

I'm currently in the middle of Deus Ex :HR, enjoying the shit out of the stealth and combat sections, but the bosses are pissing me off. For those in the industry, remember game design 101: unskippable sections that do not allow the use of most of your abilities fall under the category of "Not Fun".

Also just returned to WoW. I know, I know, its a time-suck, but I've got several friends playing with me in a guild, and the low level experience has been VASTLY improved from last time (four years ago). ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10196&Focus=308945#Comment_308945 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10196&Focus=308945#Comment_308945 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 19:37:52 -0700 Lazarus99 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10196&Focus=308958#Comment_308958 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10196&Focus=308958#Comment_308958 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 22:17:09 -0700 James Cunningham Rengoku 2 on PSP.

THIS GAME IS CALLED GOAT UP:


You are a boy goat. If you kiss a girl goat you will have a baby a few platforms later who will help you collect keyboards out of the grass.



When you die, it is Goat Over, man

But yeah, anyone who's spent more than five bucks on the game is apparently entitled to the second tier. I'm guessing that counts for those who bought the game and used their free month, too.

Sweet, sweet masochism. Comes with a guide too, since it's the collector's edition, but I'll try to ignore that as much as I can. Maybe just read the weapons section, if the weapon upgrade system is as opaque as it was in Demon's Souls. ]]>
