Oh, school. Thanks a lot. Really, I love all the work you're piling on me and free time you're sucking from me. I do!
/sarcasm
School is at full speed now, and work and projects are being thrown at me like tomatoes from a displeased crowd. I feel as though I'm never going to get anywhere on VGF #3, but I'll do it eventually. What? What's that? What have I been playing? Oh, well since you want to know so badly, here you go!
Halo: Reach
Minecraft
DJ Hero 2 Demo
There. That's it. No, I'm serious. Nothing else. You'd think I'd play more games while it's raining buckets outside, but Reach's multiplayer is so, so good. Anyway, at about - oh, I don't know - 5 PM on Friday, I sat down with a friend to finish the Campaign. What can I say? It's fantastic. Bungie has crafted a fantastic Halo game, complete with all the things you love about Halo. Congrats, guys. You went out with a bang. We finished the Campaign, and jumped straight into multiplayer. We pretty much just played Team Slayer. Wow. Again, Bungie knows how to make a Halo multiplayer experience. Absolutely incredible.
So Minecraft. Yeah, that game that everyone's talking about? I caved in (Hah!) and played it. If you want to know my feelings on it, read the Penny Arcade comic titled "Mine All Mine, Part One." Yeah. If you don't see the appeal and you've played it, there's nothing I can say to convince you. It's a game that you either embrace for what it is, or you don't like it. If you're into Minecraft, however, the Tested server is still up, go play on it!
Freestyle scratches. Freestyle crossfading. DJ battles. Singing? These are all things you can do in the DJ Hero 2 demo. I was skeptical when I downloaded the demo and saw the song "Just Dance vs Ghosts N' Stuff." I am a fan of deadmau5, but not so much a fan of Lady Gaga (Don't get me wrong, her songs are catchy as hell, I just don't listen to them). I shouldn't have worried, though. DJ Hero 2 does what the first game did: Take two songs (Doesn't matter which ones), mix them, and they are instantly good. This game is a buy for me.
EDIT: Who am I kidding? Lady Gaga rocks.
This month I'll be (hopefully) purchasing the aforementioned DJ Hero 2, and Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2. Sequels, woo! More mixes and more characters. That's what's up.
That's it, Ladies and Gents. Now, if you don't mind me asking, what have you been playing? Back to Minecraft...
