The happenings of efrucht (AMAZING READ!)

By efrucht August 4, 2008 6 Comments

This will be my first general purpose blog! HOW EXCITING!

Soul Calibur IV

That Kilik is a pretty cool guy, he brakes ppl with his staff and doesn't afraid of anything.

I have been having a blast with SCIV for the PS3. What an awesome fighting game! It has a decent amount of characters, most of which are pretty fun to use. The visuals are the best I have ever seen in a game, and that is no exaggeration! Overall, a thrilling experience and well worth my hard earned cash. Online play is my favorite part of the new deal, providing my character with lots of fresh meat to smack about with his Bo staff (that's right, Kilik owns all). My ranked match record is pretty good, but not great. My win percentage is almost 60%. Like I said, not great, but not bad either. I am a poor blocker, but I'm training myself to respond faster, so I can whoop my smug little brother.

Upcoming PS3 Games

Soon those jaws will be gnawing away at my social life!

I can't wait until October! The PS3 will get 3 outstanding games: Little Big Planet, Project Origin, and Resistance 2. I will rent them all first, because frankly video games are way to expensive to make impulse buys. I hope to beat Project Origin via rental, because in all honesty LBP and R2 will probably have much better multplayer, and that is the only reason to buy a game (unless the SP is really long, like in Oblivion). R2 is a big "maybe" for me. I'm not too interested in it, but if it turns out to be pretty good I'll check it out. LBP is my favorite of the bunch.
On a side note, Fallout 3 looks to be pretty good, but I don't think I'll pick it up. Rental, most likely. Games like this, I'm worried about relying on hype, because MGS4 was supposed to be great, but after buying it I felt it was underwhelming and ultimately a waste of my $60. I don't want to make that mistake again. If I had rented it like I usually do, things would have worked out much better. I am also excited about Killzone 2, but I think that the hype surrounding the game is ultimately detrimental. People will begin to get unrealistic expectations, and when the game is finally released, people will be dissatisfied no matter how good it actually is!

Upcoming 360 Games

Looking forward to Gears of War 2, and playing it at my friend's house when it launches. That's really all I can say about it.

Upcoming Wii Games

Hopefully the game is more exciting than the song :P

Madworld seems to be shaping up quite nicely. I think that violence and mayhem will be a breath of fresh air for most Wii owners that are craving a more adult experience, but can't afford a PS3 or 360. I'm keeping my eye on this one!

Life in General

As much as I hate to admit it, summer is almost over. As school approaches, I need to devote more time to brushing up on my studies, and finishing my summer work. So, it with great pain and sorrow that I will force myself to not play video games until all my work is complete. It's not as bad as it sounds, and I have to do the work anyway so why wait until the last minute and drive myself crazy?
