Eh, wanted to blog

Feeling kind of in a blogging mood (more so than Twitter), so I might as well talk about a few things:

1. I reviewed Torchlight 2 here and Dark Souls (PC Version) and Inquisitor here . Short versions: I loved Torchlight 2, reasonably enjoyed Dark Souls on PC, and think that Inquisitor is one of the worst games ever made.

2. My new laptop is still going strong, and can play anything I can throw at it. LA Noire looks great on it, (as in actually playable), which is a far cry from my previous laptop. The game is just not grabbing me though, although there are elements I enjoy. I love the look of it, the characters, voice acting and such, but the basic gameplay feels too plodding at times. And it never meshes very well between looking for clues, questioning people, then chasing baddies or shooting them.

3. I've been playing some of The Secret World MMO, and it's odd. They don't really explain anything to you, in the game. You're just kind of expected to go look everything up on Google, be it what you should spec in, to where quests are and such. I do kind of like the idea of it, but there just isn't enough to help you to get going. WoW succeeded because it was *very* dumb (but intelligently so), so it eased you in very gradually to play mechanics and such.

4. Doctor Who was very good today.

5. I was trying to get all the trophies in a PC playthough of Arkham City, but I abandoned that after my fight with Ra's. That game has entirely too much dumb shit for you to find. Riddles are cool, collecting crap isn't.

6. Playing Prototype 2 again, on a New Game + file, on hard mode. Even on hard, that game is fairly easy, which I actually kind of enjoy. I only need 2 more achievements to get the full 1,000, so that's my goal.

7. I'm still enjoying Pinball FX2, but I only have like 2 people to play it with. That's kind of a bummer.

8. At some point I need to get back into Lego Batman 2. A great friend of mine bought it for me, and I played up to the first Superman level, but then my old laptop took a dive, and the save didn't backup (so I lost it). Since then, I've had no incentive to replay the first few levels to get back there. It's still fun, but frustrating as always, and flawed (as all the Lego Games seem to be).

Eh...I guess that's about it, maybe? Yeah, that seems about it for me.
