...a nerd and a horse who like to shoot things...

in the past week or so i`ve been playing Oddworld: Stranger`s Wrath and Half life 2 and they are both loved by so any and almost aquanted by me so to those who love both of these games or just one im here to destroy whatever great cancer curing chunk of greatness you`ve made them out to be starting with half life 2. first of all i`ve never played the first one and probably will never since my ps2 broke and that i dont want to so i have no idea where the story is starting off from ,all i know is that i play as a physician/mute/complete anialator named morgan freeman and poeple seem to either love me with the intensity of the sun put inside a grenade and then dropping that grenade into a valcanoe or they hate him with a malice darker than the inside of a coffin on a moonless night ,there is no middle ground apearantly .so you start the game and your just meandering aroung the city awile getting smacked by some sort of alien race that all need a Ricolla after that you get a crowbar and whack the nearest combine soldier and take his gun and after a few hours of sensless kiling and bouting you have your first encounter with zombies and funnily enough name headcrabs (headcrabs come on now you know its funny laugh) and after a while of playing this game it felt like i was hanging aroung with Stephen King and Tom Clancy andthey took turns telling stories . also this game is not just a shooter it has some mild puzzle elements that requires you to have bloodlust and brians and i was playing this game with my older sister and she`s not the best at puzzles so she had to pass the controller when they came around, most of the puzzles were easy enough just minor gravity/balance puzzles nothing really challenging , what kind of bothered me was that at the at the last level they take your weapons and make -suit all supercharged so that you can take an entire lcip of machinegun shells to the face before you die and speking of your suit after a while it starts to sound like captian obvious constantly reminding you that getting shot is bad. but like i siad at the end they stick you with sooper duper suit and sooper duper gravity gun and leave you to cuase mass destruction. i also liked that you could change the difficulty level and not just by a tad like most games it makes easy ,easy for those who cant take on a strider with 2 health pionts. overall it is a great game no major flaws and its real pretty i give it a

And alas i review Oddworld:strangers wrath. first of all let me state that i am somewhat a fan of oddworld games but dont get me wrong (if you do get me wrond bad things happen) i will try to be as unbiased as possible . Now for those of you who havent played this game ,don`t care for it , or have nothing better to do, the following will spoil the ending and the suprising twist in the middle . So if you dont want too ruin it stop reading ...............your still reading arent you ,well i was hoping that would finish you off but apearently you actually care what i think and i find that strange becuase i could give a rat`s pitootie about what anyone else think but hey back to the game. Allright so the game starts like this your some cool bounty hunter with cool boots and a cool western accent . the game starts off with you bountying a couple of bosss which are quite frequent and then you get to a new town to rise more money for this O So important operation he needs (just to spoil it hes some freak four legged horse thing with horn hes just been hiding it) and after another town or so the game changes the gmeplay a tad allowing you to use all four legs and they take all your hard earned equipment ,chuck it in the air and luagh in your face . the gamelay is switching from 1st person shooter to 3rd person adventure with a click f the left thumbstick and i like that they bonded the two quite well.As far as the shooting goes you have a Double Barrel Crossbow which shoots little animals. wait let me rephrase that it shoots out little animals like ammo which i think they did well. one of the major problems with this game is that the difficulty level jumps up and down like it has ADHD and that bothered me a tad. i give it a

overall it was fun getting to play as a nerd and a horse that like to shoot things and they are both great games which should be appreciated for not sucking so.

congradulations to Half-Life 2 and Oddworld : Strangers Wrath for not sucking.
