Just finished Spiderman: Web of Shadows a lot sooner than I thought I would. Now I have nothing to play until Friday. I feel like a hopeless addict who needs a gaming fix. x.x
I'm gonna rerent Dead Space tomorrow if I can find it and finish up that campaign mode and see what it has to offer me. If all goes well, I should finish it before Gears 2 comes out and all will be right with the world.
Spiderman sure did make for a fun change of pace. The game is really well made and put together. Sure, it gets repetitive and a bit boring the longer it drags on, but overall never did I think a game could so accurately recreate Spiderman. The game feels very fluid. Definitely recommend playing it somehow. Hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised. The ending(s) really seemed to suck though. I left wanting something more from it. I picked both of the "good" conclusions (there are also two other "evil" ones). They just seemed...really tacked on. Dunno.
Hopefully have a Mass Effect review out soon just for the heck of it. Hopefully some parts of it will be a bit funny :D. Then I'm gonna try and review Mercs 2, Fable II, and Spiderman: WoS in that order. Should be fun.
Can't stop playing Mirror's Edge demo. I think I'm actually looking forward to that game more than Gears. Go ahead, flame me. I dare you.

Yea that was a really lame way of saying this blog includes some brief impressions plus a plug for the review I finally just posted for Castle Crashers.
Anywho, check out the review by clicking the review link to your left on my profile page. Should take you straight there if you're interested. If you aren't, I understand cause this game is pretty old by now. Just wanted to try some more writing out and this was the best way to do it for me.
Anyways, as far as the Impressions go...
I finished up Fable II (got all 1000/1000 achievement points to boot!! Real pumped about that. Just broke 20k gamerscore too...) and had an amazing time with that game. Hopefully I'll get around to some more reviews soon to catch myself up. I know I'm behind the times but whatevers. Not sure what else this year will stack up to that game. I'm still in awe from it and wish I could purchase it. Rental did the trick though.
I picked up Spiderman: Web of Shadows to replace Fable II and do not regret it one bit. Webslinging has never been this much fun or fluid. It's incredibly slick in presentation and makes you really feel like you're controlling Spiderman and not just playing some dumb knock-off videogame. Definite recommendation for a rental for anyone even vaguely interested in Spiderman. Treyarch has finally done it folks! My only major complaints are the forgettableness of the city itself (very bland and no landmarks or any reason to go exploring) and the fact that there is nothing to do but beat things up. Gets kind of repetitive. Also, way to easy to earn "evil" points. If a civilian dies and you don't get to him/her quick enough, you get evil points. To get good points, you have to take the injured person and find a hospital and drop em off. Takes way too long and is just a hastle. Boss fights are also a bit repetitive. They run too much...and of course you have to give chase.
Mirror's Edge Impressions:
Game of the Year. (note the wee bit of sarcasm, but seriously, this may well be my favorite game of all time if the full version is as awesome as the demo). I want to free run. Now.
Banjo: NB:
Hopefully gonna get/rent this for the wife to play. She loves Banjo Kazooie on the N64 so hopefully this will appeal to her. Kinda slow goings at the beginning but I'm sure it's one of those games I'd have to get in the groove for.
In other news, I now am the proud owner of that thing in the picture over there to the right. Just got it yesterday actually and haven't had too much playtime with it. What I have gotten to play, however, is proving to be pretty entertaining. I actually got it for my wife for an early Christmas present. Not cause I think she needs it, mind you, but because she actually has been saying she wants it. If she says she wants a videogame of any sort (that being a very rare ocassion), I oblige.
Anyways, that's about it for now! Sorry for the long post. Tried to keep the impressions as short as possible :D. Heck, I only post once every two or three days anyways, so it's all good.
Thanks for reading :D
