Fracture, Mercs 2 Demo impressions...

by kilzombie

I downloaded the Fracture and Mercs 2 demos yesterday, and here's my impressions: Fracture: The game looks pretty, but feels average, the terraforming stuff looks cool at first, but then just gets boring-imo- some of the weapons were cool, but felt kinda weak. My biggest gripe was the controls, they're just a tad overwhelming at first, and since I'm used to pressing R1 instead of R2 to fire, so...

I downloaded the Fracture and Mercs 2 demos yesterday, and here's my impressions:

Fracture:
The game looks pretty, but feels average,  the terraforming stuff looks cool at first, but then just gets boring-imo- some of the weapons were cool, but felt kinda weak.  My biggest gripe was the controls, they're just a tad overwhelming at first, and since I'm used to pressing R1 instead of R2 to fire, so it was annoying at first. Overall, I'll probably give this a miss.

Mercs 2:
The game felt "meh" to me, blowing stuff up was cool and the explosions were impressive, but ultimately it  doesn't live up to the hype.

Anyways, other than those two games, nothing much has been going on, a friend came over yesterday, we played through the resistance campaign in Co-Op. That was pretty fun, we got upto the big fight in manchester(i think) before he had to leave.
On a sadder note, another friend of mine has been in hospital for the past week, I just found out yesterday that he has a brain tumour, we're all going to visit him today though. :(

I also downloaded the Burnout Bikes update, and so far I really like the bikes, they're fast and really fun, I also LOVE the day/night cycle, I currently have mine set on sunset, it makes the game that much prettier. I haven't gone online yet, so I don't know about the freeburn challenges.
I guess that's it for today's blog, so until next time!
