Watched the Legacy walk through today and I have to admit it's winning me over. One of the downfalls of DA2 was the gameplay. The villains phasing into existence out of nowhere was super annoying and did ruin tactical play. I also like that Legacy isn't similar to a ME2 DLC where there's no party interaction. While they could get away with that in ( Read more... )

Beat Portal today. Those first 19 stages were really blah. For some reason I went in thinking it was a complex puzzle game and when I discovered it wasn't I became disappointed. GLaDOS is great. What's odd is when I moved onto Portal 2 I felt more inclined to trust her than I did in Portal 1. She comes off rather pathetic and I can't help but feel ( Read more... )

So my new game is Dragon Age. It has me by the throat and won't let go. It's one of those games I'll be so absorbed in I'll forget to eat, drink, and all those necessary things your body requires you to do. The funny thing--I loath the battle system and since this is an rpg the majority of the game is battle oriented. Now, I think if I actually ( Read more... )

I've been mad crazy obsessed with Fable III for the past few days. I actually went to the midnight release at Wal-Mart and had one of the ugliest t-shirts in existences bestowed upon me for staying up waaaay past my bedtime. I knew this Fable would exceed its predecessors, Lion Head has a pretty decent record when it comes to improvement. I'm ( Read more... )

It would seem I have reserved a room at the Hyatt in San Fran for Yaoi-Con. The staff had posted on their website that the rooms had sold out, but maybe someone canceled. I don't know. All I know is I reserved a room ( Read more... )

'Cause I need to ramble on endlessly about this game for a moment.

Mass Effect 2 is what Mass Effect 1 should have been. In this version they added everything they had said would be in its predecessor (waiting to see if the ship gets scuffed up after a battle and remains so). The games biggest fault still lies with the battle system. The shooting has improved but there's no real challenge. I have the game on a ( Read more... )

Bought Viva Pinata TIP last month but held off from playing it until recently because I knew I would get addicted (which I did). Right now, though, I'm a little miffed because the gardens have a limit of how much you can have in it. When I got my garden to be the largest size possible I started to do some landscaping. I sold everything, put a ( Read more... )

Been playing Fable 2. It's just mindless fun. Seriously. No thinking. Just go around and smash stuff, follow my dog to treasure and flirt. Feels like I'm playing Bully. The only time I'm actually using any brain cells is when I'm gambling. And obviously I don't know what the heck I'm doing 'cause I'm already $600 in the hole >_<. The dog ( Read more... )

Well, the 360 has 3 red lights a glowin'. I knew this would happen, sucks that it had to happen during Christmas. Farewell, dear 360. I shall not see you until I return from classes in the summer. *Sigh* I was hoping to sneak it away with me to my dorm...

( At least I finished Mass Effect. *Spoilers* )
