  No, this is not a rant, this is just your regularly scheduled update with your old pal Sunny. If you haven't gotten the pattern, every Sunday (or Monday morning, if I'm lazy on Sunday) I will make a blog post talking about games I've been playing. Enough introductions, let's jump to it. 
 
I finished Arkham Asylum on Friday night. If you read my previous blog post on it, you would know that I really like it. Those opinions have not changed. I have to say though, the ending is rather anti-climatic. I won't say anything else about that.
 

SHOW ME YOUR RAGE!! 
SHOW ME YOUR RAGE!! 
Yesterday I rented Mortal Kombat vs. DC. I have never played a game in the series before (sue me) and seeing this game leans towards a more causal audience I decided to check it out. The combat is simple, yet satisfying. During fights, you see the characters get cut up. Cloths get ripped, etc. That's a really nice touch. There is a story more, but the story is less than interesting. It involves characters getting under the influence of "rage". Rage acts as a spreading disease in the game. Every character gets controlled by it, and it makes them...well...rage. (hence the name of the blog) Also, I wanted some extra trophies, but seeing that most of them require doing combo challenges, that won't happen.
 
If you were on the forums at around midnight last night you would probably know that I was looking for PC games that would run on my laptop. I found some. Last night, I played the free version of Peggle Extreme from Steam. I don't want to talk in-depth about a free game, so I'll summarize using an innuendo. Playing with balls have never been so much fun. 
 
Today I bought Plants vs. Zombies. I got it on disk, because I don't have a credit card, and I got home only to find out that you can't register the game on Steam. Damn it! No achievements for me. I played a little of it, because it's Sunday afternoon, I don't play much games now. I really like it. It has a great sense of humor and a ton of charm, and watching the plants slowly kill the aliens is fun to watch. 
 
    
      Giantbomb looks good on my TV screen. You can't see it, but believe me.

I connected my laptop to my TV and played it like that for a bit. I'm used to playing games on big screens, so it only makes sense. It didn't really make much difference, it was just bigger. I also went on Giantbomb (as pictured) and man...does it look sexy on that screen. The black is the perfect shade and whatnot, the colors look good...you have to see it to get what I'm saying. 
 
Well, that's all I've been up to. Tomorrow is school for me, I was out for two days due to being sick, so I expect some make-up work slap me in the face. Until next time, peace out peeps!

I really enjoyed Mortal Kombat vs DC, but then Street Fighter 4 came out.

Hold on: they released Mortal Kombat vs. DC? Fuck, I am REALLY behind.
 
I've been watching somebody play Arkham Asylum for some time, and I have to say that it feels like one of those games you have to play to judge. That may sound weird, but let me put in perspective: we've all judged that Bubsy is crap, but have any of us actually played the game?

@natetodamax: By connecting the computer to the TV using a special wire! At least I think that's how it's done.

You really are behind.  Jeff actually got reamed in some corners of the internet for giving the game a five-star review.

Yup. It's not that it's crap, it's just so MOR average. Also, if I remember rightly, the God of Bundled Ebay Cartridge Purchases has furnished me with two copies of it.

Glad you caught that. And no, because my TV is basically a monitor.

The storyline of MK versus DC was much better than I expected... It is pretty basic but I think the dialogue from various characters is pretty good (Joker, for example). I'm also with you on the combo challenges, I won't be getting those trophies anytime soon (or ever).
