Same as the other lists on this topic with me. Just a way to keep track of what I've been playing, thoughts and whatnot.

Got curious about how well this one was after all this time & see if I could finish this hobo murder simulator. Couldn't get back into it for very long as I stopped about half way through long time ago. But will definitely go after the sequel in gamefly to see how it's improved with some fresh eyes.
Fun little game to go through on the weekend but I think that they western town quests should have stopped a while back as it wasn't until after going through the bulk of it before remembering that there's the rest of the story mode in addition. Easy to run through & fun in the same way the lego games are.
After playing the beta mutliplayer then waiting until now for gamefly to send it, it was good to dive into the game as the suit mechanics make the game quite interesting though the game did drag a bit near the end where I just wound up trying to stealth my way past everything in the way. Quite fun single player though the power kick of a car often was disappointingly weak (where the car would get caught on something & only go about a foot or two). They picked out a great way of changing out the gun attachments that still should be used in other games. Figured by now the multiplayer wouldn't have changed much & a bit over balanced by now so just left that part of the game alone for now. Always fun in a Crytek game to play cat & mouse with the enemies though here if you max stealth it's easier to save ammo & just stealth kill (or face them & melee them a bunch) your way through sections of the game.
Voice acting is this is kinda bad compared to the show but the game story matches the cinematic style of the show well. Quite strange how the it seems that the forensic doctor is the only one that they could get from the show to provide a voice for this. Rather easy to run through & only got stuck a couple of times at trying to find a few items in a crime scene. Really don't understand the lack of any finesse controls for the gps/satellite minigame as it was the one thing that I had to repeat quite a lot while playing this on the 360. Only a rental for this game as it's quite short & not a lot after finishing it to want to go back & replay any of it.
Thought that the idea of this could be worth something but between fighting the camera in a number of occasions or getting stuck in the first person punching mode in the noir section (better still not finding them any fun) just made me not really want to keep going at seeing the rest of this. Might try it again later but for right now I think I'd be better off trying something else in the meantime.
Well took a while to get to this gem from Monolith & was well worth the delayed trip through it. Still at the end of the game had some issues with some of the combos/triggers not registering on some moves so not sure if it's a timing thing or just the controller being worn out & needing replacing. I do like how they listed out the collectibles on the level select though still a bit fuzzy on the fps mode, tried it out & died a bunch between reloads versus just punching people (though seen them pick up guns off the ground so didn't want to drop something that possibly had infinite ammo on it & me with no upgrades on stopping bullet damage). Highly recommended & once you get used to the odd controls for the combat, it's quite fun & messed up in a story you won't see anywhere else.
Fun though while the game made a few interesting improvements with the characters & gameplay, I had some issue with the fact that the songs didn't have any difficulty in the quest menus, only in quick play. Would have been interesting to see how it ended but couldn't get through the last couple of boss battle songs & had other games to pull me away. The high point in this was the 2112 album from Rush (still a favorite) though it would have been good to have all the songs on this album & not just the future distopia part. Echo is now my favorite character in the GH series (both pre & post transformation).
I really wanted to give this game a chance but between the fact of having to replay the game ? number of times for the 100% synchronization & constantly (as in previous AC games) fighting with the controls where I have the main character going one direction when I'm pointing the controls in another direction I just couldn't find it entertaining enough to want to keep going.
Just as the quick look demonstrates, this game is nothing but punching the accelerator & maybe avoiding the obstacles on the track. After getting through 1+ hours, I'm just not interested enough to want to see more of this. The crazy racing in the game is fun but for me, the constant attempts of flying off a jump then crashing into a tree, helicopter, blimp, rock, another rock, flying off the track completely, yes another rock, saw blade or yes another rock just stopped being fun for me to want to continue playing more.
