Cross posting this from my LJ, 'cause I'm lazy like that, and because it really gives an idea of what I like in video games. Anyway:

So, I went ahead and gave my thoughts on Twilight Princess over at GameSpot and, dare I say it? I scored the game lower than Jeff. D:

8.1 from me.

To be quite honest, and I couldn't really get into this in the review because it's more about personal preference than the game itself: I like where the series is going. I just don't know if I want to go with it. Zelda fans are pushing for longer, more labrynth-like dungeons, harder bosses, and the return of some of the more frustrating gameplay elements. Slowly but surely, Nintendo is giving it to them. I had a hard time playing Twilight Princess, and even Wind Waker of all things, knowing this. I really don't enjoy Zelda dungeons. I just don't. But, unfortunantly, there's no other series that really comes together like Zelda. Those few that try, like the infamous Starfox Adventures, usually end up as mush.

I guess I'll just have to save up a couple hundred million and make my own game series. D:

Just completed Deus Ex for...  Oh, the fourth or fifth time.  This time at the hardest difficulty.  Only did the Helios ending, though. From what I know about the next game, it's the "real" ending anyway (I'll have to play it one day to see).  Besides, I got tired battling those stupid bots.  Once you get to Sector 4, you don't get a lot of stealth choices as far as how you go about completing your mission(s). :/

On a related note, I'm realing getting tired of multiple endings in first person shooters.

The best thing about New Super Mario Bros?  The fact that now they have a working engine, and a sequel can't be too far behind!  Booya!

Gah--Soul Caliber III is not newbie-friendly.

*Getting his rear end kicked*

Nintendo updated the new Smash Bros. website and added the character section.  Only Meta Knight and Pit are listed, but if they're adding a character or two a week, I expect them to slowly reveal new characters on the site within a few months.

We'll have to wait and see if such is the case.
