So, hello again kids. How is life? Poopie as always? Well that's nice to hear. I haven't done anything, my exam isn't worth mentioning either, and I'm on my vacation week and been feeling a little sicklish. So let's get right to the business of Metal

Brütal is not quite done yet, though during these 12 and half hours I've managed to do all available sidequests (at least my map is empty of them, not sure if I'll still get a few in the very end). Still missing 45 bound serpents though, and a few landmarks and light bulp jumps and one last legend, which confuses me a lot since I can't comprehend where on earth they could be. Bugs the hell out of me too. Other than that there's only one thing you really need to know about the game:

Fabulous

I admit, I'm partly biased because a game about heavy metal with Jack Black and Schafer couldn't be bad in my eyes. But that being said, I was still expecting only a mediocre game with some good music and a great attitude. Boy was I wrong! The game includes those two of course, but there's also a good plot, great characters and a fabulous folklore in the whole world. It's amazing how incredibly believable it all is, in it's twisted, distorted metal-infused kind of way. But it really is, the world and everything in it is fantastic. And the whole folklore-thing is just awesome, it's over the top in the perfect way to make it totally believable.

As you can see I'm in love I'm not saying it's a perfect game though, too easy even on Brütal, the gameplay is a little off, and we all know how frustrating RTSs are on consoles. BUT it's not brütal, I've had worse and it works well enough to not annoy me. Besides, all the good it has makes up for the small problems of the gameplay -I really can't remember when was the last time a game got me so worked up about the story and the characters that I didn't want to finish it because I feared it would end badly And only FF titles have made me love their universes as much as Brütal, so I'm pretty impressed.

In other gaming news, I'm getting the new Ratchet and Clank at launch after all -because I can get it 20 euros cheaper and with pre-order bonus I'm very much love to get Demon's Soul, but there's no news whether it's ever coming to Europe or not. Odds being "not" at least for now, so I'm forced to consider Dragon Age: Origins. Problem is I don't want a game with invisible gods playing with dices when it comes to the abilities of my armour and whatnot, and it looks too much like an Oblivion copy slapped over Baldur's Gate. *sigh* I want a JRPG.....

I really didn't have any other stuff for you but my Brütal (pun intended) rant about the goodness of the game. Have fun, I'll see you when I feel sad, lonely and angry again
