Some gaming updates

As usual, this'll be a bit of a  free-form expression of some of the games I've been playing.  I've been too scatter-shot (as always) to really focus on any one thing.
 
1.  Bayonetta  --  kind of dumb, but pretty decent.  It's interesting how sexualized the character appears to be, but none of that actually occurs in the game (so far, anyway.  I'm on Chapter 9)  I did some of the "farming 1,000,000 Halo's" trick on the Chapter 7 boss, but I'm not great at it, only getting around 600,000 per try.  I bought everything I could via the normal store, but now I'm gonna hit chapter 2 up, and buy everything else via the secret telephone shop.  For as crazy as the game appears, it's very....docile, in a way.  I expected like huge action set pieces, non-stop battles, etc.  You don't really get that, everything is kind of linear, and you never get overwhelmed or anything.
 
2.  Forza 3  --  still great.  I hit a temporary block by picking the wrong race type (one of those 3 heat races).  I might just simulate that, to get by it.  I'm somewhere in the 5th year I think.  I'd like to finish that game (or beat 6th year, reach level 50) before Forza 4 comes out, just so I can import more theoretical crap into it.
 
3.  I beat Eternal Sonata like 4 weeks ago.  Yeah, I liked it a lot.  It's a trifle too easy (even though I did the optional hard dungeon), but the battle system was fun all the way through.  I had started work on going through a New Game +, and trying to 100%, but didn't get too far.  I'll probably go back to it, once I settle down some.
 
4.  Won a THQ/Space Marine Avatar item.  The floating tech-skull thing.  So...neat?
 
5.  Been playing a few Wii games lately.  Mario Galaxy is FANTASTIC.  I like Mario Sunshine (or at least don't hate it as much as others), but man, Galaxy blows it out of the water.
 
6.  Smash Bros Brawl is also interesting.  I love that I can use a GameCube controller for it.  Some characters seem dumb (ROB, Game & Watch), but some of the others are fun still, Fox, Pit, Marth.
 
7.  Bulletstorm is really....REALLY goddamn stupid.  It's not good, or bad either way, just really dumb.  I hit chapter 5 tonight, and I'm mainly playing it now, just to finish it, so I can finally un-install it from my computer.
 
8.  Gonna game that stupid Sonic 2 "Win 10 matches on Xbox Live" with a friend in a few days.  I hate multiplayer achievements.
 
9.  I still can't get into Deus Ex: HR.  I hit the television station, and just have this resounding feeling of "who cares?"  Also, like Jeff said, the ammo system in the game is retarded.  I've done this test:  I've stealth-killed a guy, and he was carrying 7 bullets for the machine pistol.  I reloaded, and then alerted him to my presence, and killed him, and he was still carrying 7 bullets (despite him firing 20 shots at me)  It's just a terrible ammo system, that makes the game harder than it needs to be.  Also, I feel as I never have enough energy to do what I want.  I wish more of your bars refilled, instead of only one of them.
 
10.  I really wanna try the new Fallout: New Vegas DLC.  I expect it'll be busted to shit like the other one (Old World Blues), but I just want the Fallout saga to stop.
 
11.  And finally, I might be buying a cheap (25$) copy of Halo: Reach soon.  I know that's the price on Amazon, but this is one of those Games on Demand codes.  I like the idea of those a lot, and I'll snatch it up.
 
Oh also, I plan on buying Forza 4 next month, and possibly Mortal Kombat.  The month after that, Assassin Creed: Revelation, and maybe Batman.  We'll see I guess.  
 
In any event, catch everyone later.
