This week I finished my exams for the year and despite making my glider project next week I am done at Uni for the year. With this new free time despite getting needles shoved in my arm I have mainly been playing some video games. First thing is I played a few demo's mainly split second and blur. I wasn't a fan of blur mainly because it seems pretty much like Mario kart which I love but it just doesn't seem as fun with the more gritty realistic feel it doesn't make me smile in the same way the cutesy Mario characters do. Split second seems really cool although I imagine once you know all the power plays it could feel repetitive. My main game is Alan Wake and I am probably about mid way through at the moment and it seems brilliant. The atmosphere is amazing when you wander through the murky woods jumping at shadows and the graphics look great in the dark. I love the gameplay the addition of light really mixes up the standard 3rd person shooter formula and I felt pretty bad ass taking out the taken. Story seems pretty solid although not quite as gripping as I expected either way I am looking forward to continuing the story and expect a review in a few days.
