Heavy Rain, WOW, and Firefight; My Week in Gaming

  

Hello, I think I would like to start a little week in gaming segment where I discuss what I’ve played and also talk about what else I’ve been up to.

The week really started out with me buying my first one month of WOW. I really wanted to try it and figured now that my PC is decently running I would give it a shot. I can easily see why people would get addicted to this game as it is not only massive but more customizable than what I thought it would be. I like WOW and plan on raiding many nights for the month but already know I will not be resubscribing next month since it will be close to Final Famtasy XIV; the MMO I really want to get into. *side note, giantbomb is not picking up on my WOW character; any reason why?

Saturday was spent trying out Firefight on ODST. *Sidenote I’m the gamer that is always late to the party; anybody want to play some 50 cent BOTS? It was me and one other guy on legendary; died around 9,000 points. Then tried it with a step down in difficulty, got around 14,000. Normal we hit around 50,000 but know now if we want the achievements we need 4 people. I would like to get them along with the playthrough on Legendary with co-op but everybody that gives a shit had more than likely done it by now.

Heavy Rain was the last game I played; woke up early Sunday and finished the remainder of it in about five hours. That game was really fun and I’ve already purchased Indigo Prophecy on Steam to give it a shot as well. Two things I really didn’t care for; the glitches and the ending. Heavy Rain spazzed out on me like three times; I even got a picture of the clown head rotating around it’s body (not a spoiler in anyway.) Also I was really upset with my ending and how everything unfolded. I understand it has around twenty endings but I’m only playing it through the one time as to not dilute my actual experience with it. Overall though, Heavy Rain was great and the action segments are intense enough to make me nervous as they are unfolding. I would recommend the game to anyone that like stories in games, suspense, and trying out new game types.  

That’s about it for me. I tried audiosurf but need to figure out how to play the game better. This week will be more WOW (character is maup) probably some Muramasa since that’s what gamefly decided I wanted, more Super Mario Galaxy 2 (40 stars in), and maybe more Firefight if I can round some people up.
