Ch-ch-ch-changes!

  Man it's been awhile since i've written here, i've neglected you for too long little bloggy blog. Heck i've been severely lacking in my social networking obligations, even if no one reads this stuff.  Well as part of my plan to get back into the things I love and improve myself I am going to start updating here again. Gonna keep it weekly, Sunday is pretty much bloggidy day for all the different blogs that I have.  As far as video games go I just finished Enslaved on PS3 and man that game is amazing.  Probably one of the best new IP's to come out in awhile (though the best still belongs to Bayonetta sorry). The controls can be a bit sluggish at spots but once you get used to the feel you barely notice except for a few pathfinding issues when doing the traversal stuff. Honestly though the gameplay takes a backseat to the real reason you play this game which is the story and visuals.  First off this game is gorgeous, the world they have created is an interesting mix of clockwork destruction and lush new growth coming together to form Earth after a devastating war. The story itself is very well written especially the dialogue and the mo-cap acting is top notch with Andy Sirkis leading the show.  The relationship between Trip and Monkey is very believable and the game touches on some pretty heavy subjects, plus the ending is pretty crazy and I definitely did not see that coming.  I highly recommend the game as it's pretty solid and I managed to snag it from Amazon on their day sale where it was only $25 dollars.  Between this and Heavenly Sword I am actually really interested to see what Ninja Theory will do with the new DMC game. If they can bring they excellent story telling to that series and keep the over the top action while making it accessible (i.e. cribbing from Bayonetta) I think it will help revitalize that series.  Enslaved at least has me willing to see what these guys can do for old Dante and the gang.
  Other than that been working my way through Batman: Arkham Asylum on 360  again, which was one of the best games of last year. With it's metroid/vania gameplay, authentic Batman feel, and a story as good as anything in the old animated series or comic book the game is solid from top to bottom.  I am stoked for the sequel and can't wait to see if lightning strikes twice for Rocksteady.  Playing through the first game again i am definitely on board for the sequel. 
  Other than that just been thinking about my person GOTY as i've played enough games this year to make a qualified decision this year. Though i still need to get the money together to build a PC just to play Starcraft 2, Civ 5, and get prepared for Diablo 3 when it comes out in the far flung post apocalyptic future.  Well that's all for this week, until Sunday adios!
