Since my last blog I have had the fortunate pleasure of finally get myself a job. Ever since my job I have had this fever dream of buying games new and old. Since my dive into the workplace my collection of games have doubled in half a year. I am to a point in which the rack I keep my games are full and what games cannot fit on it just lay on the TV stand. Some of these games I haven't even played. This is the first time in my life in which I haven't finished a game (or really got started) ever. I have multiple games just sitting there, barely opened just to check disc conditions waiting to be played. The prime example of this is Too Human.
 
Now let me get this off my chest. I bought Too Human for $8. This isn't American dollars either. This is Australian. I bought a game from 2008 for $8. This is a very rare to happen here where games remain at $110 despite the rising dollar or popularity. I played Too Human for about 45 minutes and let me tell you, it did not give me a good first impression.
 
First of all the controls are just bad. The right stick being used as melee is as about as good as precision shooting on the Wii. It just does not work. Flicking the stick in the direction of your enemies has no skill in it whatsoever. You cannot get any better then what you started off with. That's Too Human's first problem. The story is a mess of hard to understand metaphors and talking for minutes with the characters not really saying anything important. Granted I played it for less then an hour but if the story hasn't gripped me by the throat and dragged me under it is not doing it's job. The menu has this animation that takes up about 1.5 seconds but feels like forever and when you have to go to more then one menu (mostly likely it will because everything is split) it will be maddening. The last straw was after a very bad, very boring, very 
frustrating boss fight I took one step off the flying platform thing to find that not only had the game crashed but it gave me a Red Ring. I restarted it and hasn't even flashed it. My console wanted to kill itself over the bad structure and controls over one game and since then it has stayed in it's case and I have never looked back.
 
Too Human is in the company of Lost Odyssey , Viva Pinata, Prince of Persia, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Sonic and the Black Knight.
 
Now is having a back-catalogue of games a good thing? There many games I would love to get my hands on like Borderlands, Final Fantasy XIII, Skate 3, Alan Wake, Slient Hill: Shattered Memories, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and that's only the start. Will I be able to find the time to buy and play all of these games before the Holiday flood? Will my school block me off and will I have a back catalogue of games forever? Will some of these games never get played?
