So Much For That

By breadfan February 7, 2009 15 Comments

Recently I have not been playing any new games, well except for one bad exception.  About two weeks ago my friend and I both bought Lord of the Rings Conquest and boy are we regretting that purchase after about an hour.  First of all, both of us are pretty big Lord of the Rings fans and we thought that we would love this game.  I mean Star Wars Battlefront + Lord of the Rings, what could go wrong?  Well a lot actually.

For one the game's two campaigns only last about an hour a piece and they do not offer much individually.  The evil campaign is mostly the same levels and concepts as the good campaign with different outcomes and missions to kill the heroes of the books and films.  So after about two hours of playing through the campaigns on co-op we jumped into the online.  That lasted about five minutes.

I could rant on about Conquest for pages, but I will end it there.  I will mention quickly that I only bought the game to play with my friend and his 360 decided to red ring the day after we played, so now I have no use for the game.

As for good games, I have been playing some more Left 4 Dead which I still find amazing.  I have not played it in a month or so and I played some of Death Toll on expert which did not end in our favor.  That new content that is coming soon will definitely be a welcomed addition to the game that will keep me playing even more.  After all zombies will always need to be killed in many ways.

My zombie kills stack up to about 13,500 so the Zombie Genocidest achievement is pretty far off
