Game On
Every year around October/November many top grade video games are released in time for the holiday shopping rush. This year is no exception. I find myself almost overwhelmed by the number of games I really want to play. I was already pretty satisfied playing Rock Band 2 and getting in a game of NBA 2K9 or NHL 09 against my brother. Then all these games start coming out the floodgates.
First, I tried out Fable 2. It’s not a super amazing game, but it was enough to keep me interested. I played through it in a few days. It’s fun but it lacks a certain polish to it. I also bought LittleBigPlanet. This game is fantastic. I usually don’t like platformers, but this one is great. There’s a style and charm to it. The graphics are superb and the flexibility of the level creator is impressive. I haven’t even tried creating a level yet, but I tried some user made ones and some are pretty impressive. So I’m still playing that.
I also bought the collector’s edition of Fallout 3 which I plan to play soon. Considering it’s a super long game, I may play Dead Space first before getting to that.
On the horizon: a bunch of games. Gears of War 2, Mirror’s Edge (really liked the demo), Resistance 2, Left 4 Dead, and who knows what else. And there are still games I still haven’t finished like Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, Resistance 1, hell.. Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy, the list is endless.
