Man, I think some of the moderation really needs to be tightened up around here. Last night I wrote the whole plot section for God of War on the Psp, plus added a concept to it. And how many points do they give me? ONE DAMN POINT! Godammit I am mad.

Okay I originally was going to write a review instead of a blog first, but there are a couple reasons why I didn't. I was going to review Alone in The Dark for the 360, but I could not for two reasons

1. I haven't finished it lol
2. I have mixed feelings about this particular game

So, instead I just decided I would share my opinions,

The thing is, this game isn't as bad as people make it out to be, and think it really fell by the wayside. However that's not to say that there are a couple of things that prevent it from reaching it's full potential.
I think this game actually has a fairly decent story that can be gripping at times, and some of the concepts introduced are pretty cool. For example, to permanently kill a hell-tainted beast,  you have to use fire in some way, shape, or form. Now, I know this isn't particularly original, but the ways in which you can implement fire as a weapon are actually very fun gameplay mechanics. Use a spray can with a lighter, molotov cocktail, etc etc.  And the interesting thing is, you have to hand make these weapons.  I found it  very entertaining to combine double sided tape with a  explosive plastic bottle, and stick a rag in it to make a make-shift sticky bomb, chuck it at a demon, and watch the fireworks.

Now, for the gripes...
This game can be VERY VERY VERY(do I need to emphasize this more?) FRUSTRATING! Seriously, there is this sequence where you must drive a car( which controls like total crap) through central park. The only problem is that there are blood sucking flying hell-bats called Vampirz(imaginative name I know) trying to pick up your car and drop you straight on your ass, which by coincidence kills you by the way. These damn things attach on to your car and won't come off unless you go at a breakneck pace or get in a life threatening crash. Doesn't sound too bad you say? Try it out for yourself. I wanted to rip my controller in half, and i was spewing vulgarity like an Irish firehose. Maybe I just wasn't very good at it, but any sequence that makes me want to punch a hole in my new LCD HDTV can;t be of quality. There are many other sequences like this throughout, and they almost, just almost ruin the game. As well, in 3rd person view, Edward controls like a wet RC car. Also the voice acting leaves much to be desired.

Well, there you go, my first GB blog. I don't know if anyone will read this, but I felt a need to voice an opinion.

By the way, Jeff, Ryan, Brad, Vinny and Co., you guys are doing a kick-ass job on the site. Keep it up fellas!
