What Have I Been Up To?

Whoa, it’s me! Yes, I haven’t posted in a good long while. But hey, let’s give this another shot! Rather than ramble on and on about why I haven’t written anything, I figure it would be more fun to go through the games I’ve played since my last post. I’ll also briefly address how I felt about each one. So let’s get to it!

Yes.

• Batman: Arkham Asylum – Awesome.
• Animal Crossing: City Folk – Hey, it’s Animal Crossing all over again. Which can be either good or bad, depending on your feelings towards the past games.
• Killzone 2 – Pretty, but I hated the controls.
• Resident Evil 5 – The first RE game I haven’t like. I think I played it for 45 minutes before deciding it wasn’t worth the effort.
• F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin – Fun, creepy, and kind of forgettable.
• Brutal Legend – Good and bad. This will require a longer post.
• Infamous – Fantastic! I loved the gameplay, I liked the story and the enemies, and I really dug the overall vibe. A lot of fun.
• Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? – Hey, I loved the first Disgaea, and I love Prinnies, but this game is too hard.
• Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days – Again, I loved Disgaea 1 and I love Prinnies, but playing this game on a PSP did not do it for me.
• Work Time Fun – I love this game. It’s completely insane and barely any fun. But somehow not being fun totally makes it worth playing.
• Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman: What Did I Do To Deserve This? – Great title, but the game made no sense to me. I couldn’t even figure out the tutorials.
• LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga – Played it for about an hour. The charm of the LEGO games has faded.
• Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box – It’s a lot like the first game, but the story and setting aren’t quite as interesting. I got bored of it pretty quickly.
• Heavenly Sword – Wow! It’s like God of War but totally lame!
• 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand – Funniest game of 2009. A stupid good time.
• Modern Warfare 2 – The single-player campaign is the video game equivalent of a major Hollywood action movie. Excitement in a box. I didn’t play any of the multiplayer.
• Borderlands – LOVE.
• A Boy And His Blob – Spent about 30 minutes with it before I figured it wasn’t for me.
• Flower – Hey, it’s pretty. The music’s kind of nice. And it’s a cool concept in an interactive art project kind of way. But I can’t say I found it to be much fun.
  

  Bor-ring!!!

• Shatter – Like a lot of people, I bought this game because the soundtrack is great. In fact, I bought the soundtrack a few days before I even bought the game. So the game is pretty fun. It’s got some neat ideas for an action-puzzle game. But I think I’ll just stick with the soundtrack.
• Dead Space Extraction – Looks great for a Wii game. Kind of fun. But I also found it frustrating and stressful.
• Mass Effect 2 – Wowzers. This game is good.

Hey, so that’s, like, a lot of games. I didn’t realize how many it was until I laid it out here. I think I may have a problem….An awesome problem.
