Semptember hates us all. Games, games, games and games september is when they all  pile up and my "catch up" on ps2 games never comes about (persona 3, odinsphere, killer 7.. possibly finish psychonauts & beyond good and evil) So friday Mercs 2 is out me and my friend are really quite excited about blowing shit up, I have read the many many issues from the IGN review and they all seem overcomeable.. a bit like how Army of two is a lot more fun than it should be if youre playing it in co-op, The exact same day VIVA PINATA is out... i fucking LOVE viva pinata but I think its going to have to wait  for me to flush whatever gun-nutish game im interested in at the time (probably still cod4) out of my system... The Badgesicles and Limenocerouses and fudgehogs and tafly's will have to wait.

Dude, how dare i leave out Profitamoles!

So yes.. september, the month of game-hate... In that it hates us because there is too many games released...
 I think i will just type a list.

mercenaries 2
viva pinata: trouble in paradise
force unleashed
lego batman.

Now this list isnt very huge , but paired with what is coming up in later months It seems a little overwhelming
I cannot see any other way but to get all of these games being a huge batman, star wars and explosion geek (with an unhealthy love for paper-animals)
maybe the batman one has y'know batman in it unlike the batman film that didnt y'know have batman in it.

BULLY!

fuck you bully scholarship edition.... I cannot get past the first "mission" in the game because the sound always drops out and then the game freezes.. This isnt a random occurance but an inevitability when starting the game. The annoying thing is that i waited so, so long for the game, refusing to pay £30 for what is essentially  a ps2 game and for the update that apparenty fixes all the games issues..and then i start it and its still broken... the game runs fine even without the update on my friends newer gen 360 (has hdmi and all that). The best thing about this is my searching for forum advice... I should KNOW by now that forums are not the place to go looking for answers, What i learnt is... "my one works fine, fuck you" AWESOME!

"MY ART WILL BE YOUR DEMISE!"
Castle crashers is awe to the some!

There was a tiny article in the newspaper about Braid ... i was seriously shocked  about this..i may scan it in , it didnt go into much depth but it does bring up the games  validity as art... I am firmly in the games CAN be art camp, and yes i DO understand the difference between Artistic aspects and  something just being Art... for all the praise okami gets about being art I am not convinced  the game it is (ZELDA !)  can really be classed as art... its a beautiful and truly awesome game but it doesnt really have any emotional depth.

But thats a much, much longer rant i will most likely leave for my livejournal, because kidssss into games tend to be full of a little too much self importance
and thats another rant for lj ....i'm not so sure this is the place for that rant.
