Strangers' Abode: LIMBO, RDR, PQ2, Alien Swarm
by twolines
Welcome to Strangers' Abode, my house is my head, so take your shoes off! Don't want you to make a mess! It's just a blog segment in which I talk about the games I've been playing lately. I'm a little late to the party with RDR, but hell, it's still worth mentioning. Between Limbo and Redemption I liked LIMBO. However some puzzles were annoying. The atmosphere is great, the graphics are amazing...
Welcome to Strangers' Abode, my house is my head, so take your shoes off! Don't want you to make a mess!
It's just a blog segment in which I talk about the games I've been playing lately.
I'm a little late to the party with RDR, but hell, it's still worth mentioning.
Between Limbo and Redemption
I liked LIMBO. However some puzzles were annoying.
The atmosphere is great, the graphics are amazing and
MINOR SPOILERS!
The ending is open the interpretation, which I actualy liked.
People talk about that here and there on the forums, which is great, I like reading up on that stuff.
Red Dead is another game with an awesome ending- it was very clever, glad Rockstar didn't dissapoint.
I just finished it, and will probably play some more.
It's a bit dull now though, the story was the main thing that kept me going.
END OF SPOILERS
PQ2 is incredibly long. It's too long.
Especialy if you consider doing all the sidequests and exploring every room.
Man, I'm already tired of puzzling. It's just too much, really.
I miss the story of PQ1, it felt more epic and interesting.
This is just- there's something evil here, kill it.
Whereas in PQ1 you were fighting a war, making alliances..
Maybe that is its biggest flaw.
Summer of Arcade 2010
Been thinking about Summer of Arcade lately..
And the only game I'd buy from the remaining four- is Castlevania.
Yes, it's flawed, but Monday Night Combat is a DOTA meets TF2
both things are not very appealing to me.
There's also Hydro Thunder Hurricane, and from what I've heard
they're just banking on nostalgia with that title.
Since I never played the first game in the 'franchise'
I don't suppose I'd enjoy this one.
Lara Croft looks bad, I don't think I'd enjoy another top down shooter.
That's what I thought, but then..
Valve being Valve
Valve's the only thing (except for Blizzard) that keeps my faith in PC games strong.
I've enjoyed playing Valve's latest free(!) source engine game.
Alien Swarm plays really well, requires tactics, team play
and it's a lot of fun to shoot the aliens in the face.
What more could you want?
Enjoy Alien Swarm? Downloaded it already? If not, do so.
And that's pretty much it for now.
I still have that crazy LIMBO achievement to get.
Oh, anyone reading this can recomend me some good JRPG classics?
SNES era games would be great!
