Well, it seems that it has been a while since I've been on this site. I've noted this by my last post being a review of the Heroic Map Pack for Halo 3. Does that clear things up? As I said, it has been a while.
Anyways... gaming has been as good as ever, with lots and lots of things on the table. The Wii has the big dog on the table right now with Super Smash Bros Brawl available. Needless to say, it's one of the most fun games I've had the ability to play in a long time. Simply, it's just a game you can pick up after months without playing and have a blast with your friends. There's something about the game that does that (Melee did the same thing).
The Nintendo DS hasn't done a whole lot lately for me. I've just been playing my edutainment and puzzle games more than anything. THAT will soon change with Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword coming out tomorrow.
The PSP has had TWO major winners! God of War: Chains of Olympus and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII are both phenomenal games, especially for the platform they are on. The PSP hasn't really satisfied me much (at all), but God of War won my heart over and Crisis Core is currently sucking a lot of my time away. Surprisingly as well, Patapon is a fun game. I haven't had a chance to fully get into it (Reasons already listed), but the initial gameplay I invested was entertaining to say the least. Sony, keep working at it. You might actually give the DS some hefty competition.
Lastly, the 360 (I don't have a PS3. Sorry.). I haven't been too impressed with much lately. Halo 3 is taking forever to come out with there new maps, despite needing to really step it up a notch (Since Call of Duty 4 is competing with there online stats). Games like Army of Two, although not bad, were just slightly disappointing. I guess "missing the mark" is a good way to summarize it. Call of Duty 4 was fun for about a week, and I got bored of it. First-person shooters have just been too repetitive lately. I'm playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 now, and it's good. I don't have too much else to say, since it's pretty much identical to it's first, except that the online is buggy. Honestly, the only thing I've REALLY enjoyed on my 360 over the past couple months is Rock Band. Normally, I despise music-simulations, but something about Rock Band hooked me. Even my friend who is a professional guitarist got suckered in and couldn't stop playing. I guess it's just one of those "Lets pretend to be a rock band and tour the world"-fantasy games, and everyone that ever thought it to be cool to be a rock star just had their fantasy somewhat dreamt for them. hahaha. I guess that's a good way to put it.
Anyways... that's about all I got. Games are good. ![]()
