If you're wondering why this is up so early it's because I'm going on vacation with the family tomorrow and wouldn't have time to write it. Also, reasons I won't be grading Glee and Modern family this week is because I totally forgot about them Wednesday. Will update next week with this weeks episodes scores.
I went into M.U.A. 2 with only about 20 minutes of previous M.U.A. knowledge, I thought the first was decent I just couldn't get through it. So it's weird that I was so excited to pop in M.U.A 2 and I actually quite enjoyed it. The civil war aspect was very good, although close to the end, the civil war story kind of drifts away and another story takes over, that is around the time when I got bored with it. It just really confused me, the civil war aspect was so good but you turned it into some other thing where I'm constantly saying "What the hell is going on" and I don't mean that in a good way. The combat was surprisingly not just oh there's a guy, lets press X until he dies. They throw in some nice special powers that each superhero has, all specific to that one character. Then you can perform a "fusion" attack which is when two characters combine their powers together and do 1 of the 4 or 5 set types of fusions. These are all really powerful and some look great but it gets repetitive after a while performing the same kinds over and over again. Although it sounds like I strongly disliked the game, I actually enjoyed the first 4-5 hours of it, but was sorely disappointed that the longer it went on, the worse it got. Verdict: Rent for all.
Majesty 2
I really haven't played too much of Majesty too give a final verdict but since this blog is gonna be short anyways, I figured why not throw it and Lucidity in. Majesty is just a game where you control pretty much this entire city area and explore new territories whilst killing things and earning more moola. This is actually very well done, where even the tedious things like upgrading buildings is made fun by choosing what you want your vendor to sell, etc. The real selling point of the game is the look. It looks really good. I love the cartoony but not really cartoony at all art style. And seeing those trees fall down is quite satifying. Again, I haven't played very much of this so I can't give a verdict (or write decent impressions) but so far, I'm really liking Majesty 2.
Lucidity
What Lucidity is, is a very cute game in which you don't really control your character but instead place little pieces in the spots you
NHL 10
Finally, the main finale. The NHL series is widely known for being vastly superior to the 2K hockey series in every single shape, way, and form and, although I haven't played 2K10, I'm pretty sure this year is no different. I really haven't noticed any major differences from 09 to 10 besides the graphics being a bit sharper but that isn't really a problem, especially if you don't own 09. NHL 10 still has the normal dynasty options but Be a Pro mode will probably be the place you dig in most of your time. You create your character, play in a recruiting game, get drafted, then your career as an NHL'er begins. I said that. The mode is still incredibly in depth and challenging while still being fun. All around NHL 10 is a damn good game and still features the time sucking modes that was in 09. Verdict: If you have 09- Rent Everyone else- Buy.
