First Quarter Update

Been awhile since my last update.

I've been going through the games pretty quickly, playing as much as I can with my busy schedule. Back in January I beat Fallout 3, which I loved. Since then I've downloaded the first downloadable content for it and plan on buying the second shortly. I went on a short hiatus from playing games after that, but then I picked up Killzone 2. I originally wasn't that interested, but the single player was action packed and the multiplayer had enough options to keep me locked in.

I then got Resident Evil 5, which I proceeded to play to death in coop. Despite having incredibly good coop play, it was slightly disappointing.I feel Capcom has kind of lost sight of what people like about Resident Evil and I think that the inevitable Resident Evil 6 needs to go back to the series roots: dark settings, creepy atmosphere, and actual zombies.

Not long after I finished Resident Evil I started playing through Chrono Trigger. I had never played it before, it was first releasedjust a tad before I started playing games, but had heard great things about it. I was addicted from the moment I turned it on and it continued to impress me all the way to its conclusion. The fact that it's nearly 15 years old is even more impressive. The story is unique, the cast of characters is great, the boss fights are awesome, and it doesn't resort to making you grind out levels in order to advance.Even the sprite graphicshave incredible coloring that makes them very appealing.The whole game is perfectly balanced. It is without a doubt one of the best games I have ever played.

I've just started Chinatown Wars and it has a lot of promise. Looking forward to completing it. I'm also anticipating Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. In the meantime I'll probably rent Guitar Hero: Metallica and Halo Wars, which I played just a bit of before Resident Evil.

Wow man that was a good list you rattled I have such a tendency to not finish my games and I'm gonna break that trend now. Reading your blog kinda got me amped up to do it too.

About Me

Outside of loving all kinds of games, I also love movies, my favorites being The Departed, Fight Club, Dark Knight, I, Robot, and The Matrix. I've also written and directed a few zero-budget films. Don't really have much else to say about me except I love my PS3 and 360 and enjoy playing online, especially co-op.
