I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip!! I don't mind playing it that way!!!

You know you can game the system in Crayon Physics Deluxe by forcing the ball into the goal with random shapes/lines, right? That's how I cheesed my way through too many of the puzzles to admit.

Crayon Physics Deluxe

Crayon Physics Deluxe came included with a humble bundle. I played this a few years ago on my iPhone. You would draw a shape to help solve the puzzle. The look of the game was great. It looked like a child’s drawing come to life. I didn’t play much of it but I think I got tired of it. Looking forward to giving it another shot.

Hate to say it but wasn’t really a fan. I enjoyed scribblenauts more because picking the right word was more fun than drawing the right piece. Does this mean I’ll never be a famous painter, guess so. The look and music were everything I remember. It’s a wonderful game don’t get me wrong, just not my cup of tea. I can see why this was such a popular game. I had fun trying to draw the right pieces but in the end I got stuck and didn’t really want to figure it out. It’s ok to call it quits on a game…right?? Even though I thought it felt a little off playing it on my phone playing it with a mouse was worse. If you want to play this game get it for IOS or android, if its there.

Darwinia

You guessed it, humble bundle. I really have no idea what this game is. The picture background in the steam library doesn’t really give any hints. So I guess I go into this knowing nothing. Darwinia wasn’t for me. They can’t all be winners in the humble bundle.

Dead Rising 2

Now we’ve come to a first in the backlog. I bought Dead Rising 2 on steam during the holiday sale. I think it was Twenty bucks. Now this game is different from most of the backlog games because this was a full game release, not an indie game. I really loved the first Dead Rising, it was one of the first 360 games I ever bought. Truth is I bought Dead Rising 2 for 360…but never played it. I think I heard somewhere that you can get achievement points from the PC version so when I saw it on sale I bought it. I also remember hearing the PC version was really well done so another reason to pick it up but mostly the reason was points.

I decided to write a little bit about it today because I make take a little longer then the hour to two hours I’ve put into games up to this point. I might try to play the whole thing or at least half. I’ll play tonight and tomorrow until I get bored and maybe check a FAQ to see how far into I am. Like I said I played the heck out of the first one. I enjoyed the leveling system, even though I was beyond weak when you start out but I released it was a game that you had to start again sometimes. I played the 360 arcade game that introduced you to the new character so I know Frank isn’t in this one. My PC isn’t the highest end rig but it should run this fine.

* Slight little update on the Dead Rising front. I went to play the game and and it went to verify my game was legit through GFW Live and and sat verifying for 20 minutes. A look on the steam forums say I might have to install the game again and run it right away. It's been having some issues with Windows 7 64-bit. The upgrade to 64-bit works wonders with Civ 5 though. So I deleted it and am installing it once more. If this doesn't work I will play it on the 360...since it's on that backlog!
