You guessed it. The Steam Holiday Sale made me buy about 30 games. 20 being the Eidos Pack. Only had an interest in like half of them, but for €45.99, whatcha gonna do. That's €14 less than Modern Warfare 2, FYI. So far I've mostly been playing GTA IV. Feels good to be able to play around with the good old handling.dat again. Hasn't changed a bit since GTA 3. I don't know how that's even possib...
After (I think) three years I finally put the internet on my old Sony Ericsson to download some free games. It is not possible to make a game control well with a keypad. Or in some cases, at all. Battery drains in like 30 minutes too. So I kind of stopped caring again. But this is the most time I've spent thinking about mobile games in years. So I guess I do care more.
I try not to play my worst game of the year, but year after year I fail. This year I have two candidates, that I can remember. The Godfather II I absolutely hated the first one but thought I'd give this a chance anyway, because that's what I'm like. It is a vast improvement over its predecessor, meaning it's garbage. Basically it has evolved into Saints Row 2, but without the fun, as the fierce...
Return of J Allard postponed yet another year. :(
Critics didn't appreciate this game as they simply didn't realize what it was. It was wrongfully marketed as a WW2 FPS when it in fact is one of the few comedy games. For proof, see what happens when you replace the r's in the title with l's. Hour of Victory - Houl of Victloly - Howl of Victloly. Or you can watch this.
I'm getting a bunch of games. Like three. People say Street Fighter IV is the shit, but this will be the first fighting game I've bought since like... DOA3 , and that sure was a mistake. Killzone 2 demo is ok. Nothing super-interesting going on here it seems, but the AI makes things fun. Have hopes for the multiplayer. F.E.A.R.2 . The one I'm looking forward to the most. Because combat in this...
I remember the developers used to talk up the fact that in Turning Point you were playing as a relatable, regular guy just like you and me, getting caught up in this situation which forced him into joining the resistance to fight in this alternate history WW2, where Winston Churchill was killed before the war broke out ???? and then Germany invades America with giant assault blimps which the US...
I've been all antsy-pantsy about this thing called Fragile ever since I first laid eyes on the first screenshots, and even more so when hearing one of the tunes. And the concept. Post-apocalyptic settings always gets me. Typically means you're on your own, wandering through a deserted landscape. I just like that feeling of being alone in peaceful nature, exploring and taking it all in. Particul...
Creating your own weird creatures and discovering those created by others is a fair bit of fun and is where the strength of Spore lies. But as a game Spore mostly just fails. The introductory Cell stage is reminiscent of something like Pac-Man or Flow and is entertaining in all its arcadey simplicity. The following Creature stage was epic disappointmenton however. I was curious and spiritful. T...
What's a "mythic"? What's a "Halo 3"? What's going on?
SIREN: Blood Curse utterly fails in the way it's delivered. I don't mind how it's split up in 12 parts, that's sort of what this whole episodic gaming thing is about, I mind how it doesn't automatically download and install all parts. You have to sit there and micromanage the whole thing. It's stupid. If you purchase the full game you have to go through your download list and manually, one by o...
