Started RE6 last night. It seems like a lot of the reviews are pretty negative, but I've been enjoying it so far. It has that scare factor that RE5 sorely lacked. |

I always say Xbox over PS3 because the 360 controller is perfect, and I've never liked Playstation controllers |

I've been playing Crusader Kings II on PC a lot lately. Pretty addicting game. I really amused myself by starting a line of midgets ruling Ireland like a bunch of leprechauns |

Didnt really have any trouble with the controls, they seemed pretty simple to me. I think the story may be better than the crappy tv show. Actually I'm sure it is. I've heard your choices dont really have as much impact as you think, but even the illusion of it is pretty awesome. The last episode's story kinda drops the ball a little, but it does have a couple of squeal worthy moments. Episodes 2 and 3 are pretty brutal. |

This was basically the entire demo |

This was basically the entire demo thats the first bit of the game, minus a little before hand. He moves faster once his leg gets fixed. I guess maybe he is supposed to be cumbersome with a beat up leg (he's also been unconscious for a couple of days i think). I think it would get too much like an action game if you could just hack and slash or shoot your way through, and ruin the horror vibe. This way its more like you are a regular guy who doesnt really know what he's doing. In most cases you're just running for your life or figuring out puzzles (even much of the combat). The last couple of episodes get a little more open with combat, but its not very good at it. The camera angles are annoying sometimes, but i didnt have much trouble with it. It took me a second to get used to the way the game does things. Make no mistake, though, its a game where you are essentially acting in a scene. |

Traded in Madden 13 and got Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Backbreaker Football on store credit. Haven't played the first one and while Backbreaker kinda sucks too it's at least something different. |

The single player campaign is sorta fun as a cinematic gaming experience goes but the multiplayer is virtually unplayable. The first MW game was great and i logged a lot of time on it, and the second one was decent but MW3 was awful. i bought it on release day and sold it 5 days later. The game focuses too heavily on rewarding players for kills and streaks instead of completing objectives so no matter what kind of game you're in it just turns into a free-for-all deathmatch. there are much better multiplayer FPS's out there...or at least there were a couple years ago before i got bored of the genre. |
