Eternal Sonata

Overall an excellent game. The maps tend to tedium, but I like the combat system, and the acting in the cutscenes is top notch. No, I don’t think I’ll ever do the 2nd playthrough.

Verdict:
Rent it. Most RPGs will fall under this category simply because they often lack replay value.

Flatout: Ultimate Carnage

Imagine that RC Pro-Am wasn’t fun. That’s the game in a nutshell. It’s basically a really lame driving game with floaty controls that tease you into thinking they work properly. It has a lame ‘break things’ gimmick, and it’s not even fun enough to make it worth playing to buy upgrades and new cars.

The only decent thing about it is the car damage model, which lets you screw up a car pretty nicely… it’s not a save grace tho. It’s like a fat chick with a nice watch, or something.

Verdict:
Play with mercury instead.

Gears of War

It’s not a bad game, but it has in it some bad descisions. Some of the objectives can be a bit obtuse, some of the bosses can be just plain annoying. Some checkpoints are put in STUPID places. PUT THE CHECKPOINTS AFTER THE FMV SO I DON’T HAVE TO WATCH IT ALL THE TIME.

Verdict:
Rent it.

Need For Speed: Prostreet is kind of meh. The graphics are alright, but I see jaggies. The driving physics are wierd, even for a more arcady racer. There’s no point to having more than one car of each race type. The story is kinda crap. The game mechanic is kinda monotonous. I can’t see playing this with anyone else. Most of the reason I’m still playing it it for the achievements.

Right, achievements don’t make bad (or meh) games better, but they give them a bit more play-value.

Verdict:
Definitely Rent it.

Mass Effect is a great game. The story is great, the technology and setting are great, the acting is great, the side quests are great, everything is great. Unreal engine is not great. I like textures.

Verdict:
Buy it.

God Plays DDR

I’ve beat The Simpsons Game, and I hereby recommend this game to others.

One of the highlights of the game is where you play DDR against God and the song is Rock You Like A Hurricane by The Scorpions, followed by a video of God singing along to it.

Tee hee!
