This post relates to: Braid, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Shadow of the Colossus, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

So i've been playing some games lately.

- Finished Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction sometime last week. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I was really in the mood for a platformer and that really hit the spot. It was my first Ratchet and Clank game i've ever played, but i'm definitely planning on playing any future releases of the series. Starting with the Quest for Booty coming out on the 21st. Looking forward to that.

- I realized that I had bought Shadow of the Colossus sometime last year but never opened it so I finally did that and played a bit of it. I beat the first colossus and am really excited to play more. But...

- I got God of War: Chains of Olympus in the mail today, and i'm stoked to dive into that. I'm gonna do that right after this in fact.

- Just before writing this I finished up Braid. And let me tell you. That is one hell of a game. The $15 price tag may look steep but i'm so glad I decided to pony up the money because that is an experience i'm never going to forget. The game is beautiful, artistic, and very challenging at points. It makes you think pretty hard about some of the puzzles. I strongly recommend you don't use any sort of walkthrough too. I didn't and it felt amazing every time I would finally figure out one of the tougher puzzles. Some of them take some time, but just don't give up and keep trying new things. Oh, and on top of all this the story keeps you intrigued the whole time trying to figure out what exactly all of this info being dumped on you means. Even the story is extremely atristic and seems like the developers put a lot of time and thought into it. But that goes for everything in the game. Especially the puzzles. Don't hesitate. Buy this game!!
