Game related STUFF

Hey guys, how's it all going?

I've been really, really shit about keeping up to date on here recently, even though I still visit many times a day, read blogs, and all that.

So I went and splashed out £40 for Resi 5 a few days after its release (because it was my birthday, and sod it). As someone who wasn't HUGE on Resi 4, i was a bit concerned as to how much I would enjoy 5, but the demo had impressed me so i went with it.
Jesus Christ it is an amazing game. Whilst it doesn't have the same impact as 4 did, for obvious reasons, I think it's a much better game, despite the complete removal of any traces of "survival horror". The shooting is the most satisfying since Dead Space, the game is the perfect length, the co-op works amazingly well at most times (although tbh i played it mostly with a friend), and the replayability is incredible.

But yeh, i'll stop boring everyone by saying the same things about Resi 5 they all said a month ago.

In other news i bought Mirrors Edge and Prince of Persia for £10 each the other week. Annoyingly i seem to hold the same opinions as everyone else when it comes to these games aswell;

Mirrors Edge = a fun platforming mechanic which stays fun for the length of the game, but the action/shooting bits are dire and the story is pretty awful really.

Prince of Persia = Beatiful game, love the artstyle and platforming gameplay. The combat's fluid and enjoyable but gets frustrating at times due restrictions, and the        lack of any kind of death makes the game a little dull at times.

I'm gonna go and buy Fallout 3 and The Orange Box once my exams are done, so I'll try to post reviews or at least detailed blogs about those.

In a bit!
