Oh man, this thing is still here? Not quite sure why I neglected it for so long. I think I'll get back into the swing of things by talking about some of the games I've gotten recently. Just like the good old days.
Fable 2Fable 2
Of all the games I've gotten recently, this is the one that's gotten the most love. I thought the original Fable was ok, but there wasn't enough there to make me see it though to the end. The sequel, however, is shaping up to be a different story. It feels like the game has taken the best parts of MMOs and third person action games and made a game that has solid story and combat but also gives you things to do out side of the story and the ability to interact with other players. My second night with the game, all I did was chop wood and buy up property and I had a blast. In what other game world can you go from lowly wood cutter to real estate mogul in an afternoon? I know I usually say this in my other posts months ago, but I do plan to do a review of this one.
Dead Space

This one kind of got pushed to the side when Fable 2 came out but I've enjoyed it none the less. I'm only on chapter 4 so far and the game really hasn't got a good scare out of me, but it does have one hell of a creepy vibe. I'd say the game plays like Resident Evil 4 with one HUGE improvement; you can move while aiming. Revolutionary, I know. Now I'm not one to nit-pick and maybe this is explained later in the game, but why is it that a headshot does jack shit but if I shoot the things arms off it drops like a rock? Loose a head, not a big deal. Get your arms cut off, however, and it's instadeath. What the crap? Also Firefox isn't correcting me on "instadeath" so I guess that's acually a word. Weird. Here's another one I hope to review. In fact, if I talk about a game, let's just assume I'm going to review it at some point in the future.
Saints Row 2
Saints Row 2
I was a huge fan of the original Saints Row and this definatly feels like more of the same. I like that it's trying to pull away from it's GTA comparisons and go it's own direction. I've had my crime drama quota filled for the year, now I just want some silly gang violence. Not much more to say about this one as I haven't played a lot of it due to Fable 2 being so awesome.
