It was quite a pleasure surprise too see that a new trailer for Alan Wake has surfaced. Its been quite some time since the last update. But about the trailer...
This new trailer gives a little more idea of what this game really is. It shows Alan Wake arriving at some small town and shows some towns people and scenery. And somehow as I understood everything that Alan writes comes true. Still...this game is really strange. It seems very constrained and very psychological. Dont know how they can make a fun game out of it. Maybe its kinda like Indigo Prophecy that I recently finished. Im really interested to know how the gameplay is gonna work out. I just hope the action wont revolve around quick time events like in that game.
So yeah...still dont know pretty much nothing about the game but its good to see some proof of it still existing and yes...Im intrigued.
So 5 months...5 months since I last updated my blog. Whats up with that ??
The main reason is that I havent been around a computer very often. And also there hasnt been any game related (or otherwise for that matter) news to report.
During the whole summer I finished only one game - Dracula Origin. Nothing really to say about that. It was an Ok adventure game which means there is not much reason to play it. Good atmosphere and solid cutscenes. But Yeah...falls a little flat. I only picked it up because its from Frogwares, the same company that makes the Sherlock Holmes games (which I like quite a lot especially Awakened). So there´s that.
So now when I am more at home I can finally start playing some games. First up is Bionic Commando Rearmed. I have never played the original so it´s all new for me. To make it short: It is really fun...and Hard. I havent played a 2D era game like this for a long time. And it feels very different from modern games. I missed the frustration and commitment that these games take to play through. And I really like it. Nowadays you just hit a quicksave or the checkpoints are really close together. Here you just play and play repeatedly the same level and when you finally defeat the end boss it feels like you have achieved something big. Just before I started to write this blog I finished a level which I had been trying to finish for two days. Yeah...it reminds me the good old days when you didnt blow through a game in 5-10 hours...I remember playing DuckTales for about a month and I never beat the last level in the original Mario. So...really liking this thus far.
Just wanted to mention the new GameSpot design which came to me as a surprise when I came back after a month. I really like it. Its much more cleaner and it is just easier to navigate. Although I wish that all my emblems were shown right away.
Ok...thats it for now. Hope to write more from here on out (although I said the same thing in one of my previous blog entries but this time Im going to keep it).
RIDDLER !??!?
