Well, given that I've been a bit abscent from blogging on Gamespot lately I decided to make a quick post (not that my posts account for anything more than logging my videogame deeds for myself). About a week ago, I played most of BioShock and now that I'm away from the game for a while I can not only say that it is on my "top 5" (the other 4 being DMC3, MGS3, RE4 and FFVII, not in that order, with Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) falling out of the list) but it obtained the top spot. I haven't had the chance to finish it but I already can ask development studios: would you KINDLY make more games like this?
In different news, I finished Sonic 2 (yeah, Genesis Sonic 2) with my girlfriend and a friend last night and although it isn't an accomplishment at all, it was fun as hell. Tomorrow night, we're going on a Snes marathon (which always can end up on a Mario Kart Double Dash!! Bob-omb Blast battle marathon, but that's fun as well).
Nothing else to add, college exams period start soon so I might have to stay away from gaming for a couple of weeks.
PS: Of course, this top 5 is valid for last and this gen, it's unfair when you throw games like Super Mario World, Megaman 2 or Gunstar Heroes to the mix. That said, consider FFVII a wild card.
Ok, I kinda pushed this time on the title. It doesn't matter. I wasn't THAT excited about BioShock after playing the demo, but I read some reviews today and went over the demo again. And you know what? Ken Levine is a genious. I really played in a whole different way and had a pretty different experience as he's been saying all along! I complained about how weapons sound last time and how enemies reacted to taking shots. You know what? Screw that! The few times I needed to rely on weapons was on the very beginning and once near the end when I was getting swarmed by enemies and ran out of eve. Hacking rocks! So does electrocuting your foes! Next playthrough the demo, I'll go with the fire plasmid and see what I can pull off. I also say a very explosive-like tank, but didn't have time to shoot it before it rolled out of my sight since I was attacked from behind.
Anyway, I'm really psyched with BioShock now, can't wait to play the full version! I didn't really mind the weapons this time although there's still something a little weird about the enemies, code-wise (so to speak), but I care about it less and less by the minute!
On a side note, I downloaded Pac Man C.E. Trial and I need it full! There's something very Lumines about it, not to mention that the way Namco tweaked gameplay this time makes up for an unbelievably enjoyable experience. I gotta admit today was a great day in my gaming life!
