Peecee gaming

 As I type this, the office network has just bit the big one. So while I wait for it to come back up, I figured maybe I'd update the old blog! I'm writing this on notepad, then I'll giv'er the old copy / paste.

So I went ahead and finished off Killzone 2. I pretty much left off at the very end of the game, fighting the mass of enemies right before Radek decides to settle things himself. It was one of those situations when I initially came across that level I must've slogged through it for an hour, over and over (it was 3am) until I finally gave up and went to bed. The next time I picked it up a week later, I managed to clear out the rest of the trash the game threw at me the first time I played it, and finally got a shot at Radek - beat his ass, and got that fancy trophy.

I rented Batman: Arkham Asylum over the weekend, and I'm on the wall about how I feel about it... but then again, I don't think I really gave the game enough of a chance - I was busy as hell this weekend and really didn't give it enough time to completely grab me. The hand to hand combat, I must say, is pretty sweet, well done, and there is a lot of variety in the combat animations, which is nice, and the fact that racheting up combos unlocks even more moves that you can perform - it gives you extra incentive to see what Batman might do to a guy. The riddler puzzles are pretty cool, but a bit frustrating at times, especially trying to firgure one out when you're hammered at 2 in the morning - but that can't be blamed on the game. I'm bringing it back to blockbuster tomorow, but I think I'll have to pick it up again to give it another solid shot.

What I have been doing with most of my time, when not working on my bands infernal album two fucking years in the making, is rekindling my love affair with PC gaming. It seems like when all my new PS3 / Xbox 360 have outlived their shiny new luster, I always keep going back to a good old solid PC game.

Medieval 2: total war (and the kingdoms expansion)

Played this for a few days, started an english, spanish, and Scottish campain - a nice and relaxing game when you just neeed to take a break from ultra fast paced types of game. Then it hit me - shit, I'm playing a PC game, lets check out the forums for a few mods. And came upon this

BEHOLD!

Total War: The Third Age

 Fuck yeah, Total War mods! Somebody has to make a 20th Century: Total War. That would be so fucking awesome. Proxy wars, dummy councils, think tanks, oil exploration, the nuclear bomb, nationalism in the third world... o man! That would kick so much ass!

There are some ridiculously good mods available for MW2.  Some of them seem comparable to or better than full blown expansion packs.
 
Empire didn't really do it for me, I hope they remake Rome next.  Westeros: Total War would have made an awesome mix if the ASOIAF rights hadn't been sold to Cyanide - I think there may be a mod in the works though.

Hurrah! A PC gamer instead of another console tard! Ahem, not that I have anything against consoles. Aye, Medieval Total War was a fantastic game, I still think it looks and plays better than Empire (which I still love). Have you played Rome Total War?
