I've been playing one RE game - Umbrella Chronicles - and one Silent Hill game - 0rigins - these past days and I've recently finished Siren 2 (I've also written a review if you wanna know more about it).
Every time I finish a horror game I'm filled with a slight sense of sadness, the same experience that have when I finish a book. A part of me is glad I've been able to finish the game etc but I do miss the experience of turning the console on and playing that game. This feeling is specially strong when there are no games of that given series or genre on my shelf.
But, this time, even though I've been playing horror games of 3 different series, they all already have a sequel to be released this year (Siren 3 has already been released, I know).
The horror releases on the new consoles do not limit themselves to SH5, RE5 and Siren 3. There's also Dead Space, Dead Rising, Condemned, Fatal Frame 4, Alone in the Dark, not to mention some titles that do not come up in my mind right now.
So, with that many games to play, it's hard to be taken by that sad feeling of having done or seen it all.
I also look forward to Left4Dead!
What about you guys? What horror or non horror games are you looking forward to? Excited about the new consoles? Do you feel slightly sad after finishing a game as well?
Last night I decided to join PSN and buy me a digital copy of Siren 3.
Before joining PSN I was prompted to uptade my system. Ok, no problem. I found the don't power off or your system will be gone for good! message a bit too frightening but I moved on.
Next, I had to enter personal information such as name, ok, address... oops... only North America, Asian and European countries on the list... man, I live in South America and this place doesn't exist in PSN...
Ok, I decided to enter bogus information and proceed but I could not. Once I entered USA the PS3 carefully analysed my zip and said my address was not valid... lol! OMG! I'm just signing up for a game network, what's the fuss with zip codes?
Anyways, I used my friends address in the US and PSN allowed me in. After so much pain to enter my address, I was sure I would not be able to actually buy anything on the store. Dude, I could not even enter my credit card number. I always got the invalid information, please check carefully message. After the 10th attempt I just gave up...
It's sad because I have my correct address on the Wii, they have my credit card number validated and I was never prompted to correct accurate information.
I don't have any issues with Brazil being out of the country list - PS3 hasn't ben released here after all - but not being able to buy, actually spending money on an on line transaction is laughable. I almost dialed them to say hey guys, I wanna buy not sell. I'm not trying to push a second hand car to you guys, I'm not an Amway salesman.
I guess Siren 3 will have to wait... sucks to be me
Oh, I've uploaded three Siren 2 movies if anyone's interested. They're complete game scenarios that depict stealth, firearm and melee combat. Hope you enjoy.
P.S. I'm Akhorahill in PSN as well.
I did!
A co-worker had bought a 40 GB version only to find out he could not play his beloved PS2 games on it. He was trying to sell it for a month without success so we agreed on a nice price.
The PS3 was honestly out of my plans, I did not even know that the 40 GB version could not play PS2 games and had to do a fast research to find out if it was crippled in any other way. It seems to be your friendly neighborhood PS3 with less HD space and no backward compatibility.
I hooked it up on my TV and I gotta say the Blue Ray thing impressed me. The image is sharp. No, don't take it for granted, it's really, really sharp.
I still do not own any games and haven't created my PSN account but I'm looking forward to Siren 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4.
I'm currently playing Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles on the Wii. Playing short versions of previous RE games light gun styl3 can be entertaining. Wesker himself offers a brief description of what's going on before and after each scenario - it's a solid thing for me because details vanish from my mind quite fast - and there's plenty of reading material.
It's not your state of the art horror game but I would not dismiss it as garbage.
I've finished and reviewed Disaster Report 2. It has lots of potential and good ideas for a game even it somehow did not manage to fulfill most of those. It can't help thinking that I'm Alive might be a western version of the Japanese game with more re$ource$.
I'm still enjoying Siren 2. It does have a slow start but now the scenarios are quite interesting for one who followed the story from the start. I've already made a movie and will upload it soon!
