yes friends, im bored enough to write another blog....sooo lately iv been looking for some new xbox 360 games..and like any smart buyer i was checking out some demos on xboxLIVE, i downloaded fracture..which i heard about from the sarcastic gamer podcast...if you dont listen to it..subscribe to it on itunes its really good. i downloaded the demo and i thought WOW. you have something called an "entrencher" and it can raise or lower the terrain, more or less dirt but still! i played through the demo mission. has some intresting weapons too. one of which is a "spike grenade" when thrown into the ground a pillar of hardened rock shoots from the ground and this is used in certain puzzles im guessing, because in the tutorial i had to use a spike grenade to create a ramp with a sheet of metal on the ground.

i love third person shooters so we hit it off pretty well. the game reminds me of "too human" for some reason..so thats a good game..next while browsing down the list i noticed racedriver GRID..i thought better late than never to get in on all that buzz...i heard some great things about GRID but was TOTALLY dissapointed with it...the controlls...ugh...talk about awful..the damage effecting the responsiveness of your car i REALLY hated. maybe its because im a reckless driver...maybe its because im a burnout player at heart. who knows - but this game fails imo. what i did like is the whole flashback thing..if you crash bad enough to totally F**K up your car then you have the option to rewind time to a point near the area of impact..be it round the corner or whatever.

then i thought id try endwar...the game i read about MONTHS back that was goign to use voice command..intresting! i thought....turns out its not even that great. but again maybe this is because i loved the c&c games. its alright but...they need more commands..you have to say "unit 1 attack hostile 1" or "unit 5 attack hostile 3" it gets really tiring..i was thinking just "all units attack" or something but noooooooooooooooo they have to be awkward..not even "move out" or "advance" worked..it only recognises a set list of commands which i thought was awful. so dissapointing..

so i guess i wont be picking up GRID or endwar..but i will be getting fracture whenever i got the dough.
