I finished God of War 1 which I bought used and fo rthe most part it worked great. There was a little stuttering during some of the cut scenes but I wiped the disk and they worked fine.
After than I went to Kingdom Hearts which is ok. I seem to rmemeber it got good rating and I decided to check and I think it was in the 8's and even though I haven't played too far into it as of yet I would say yeah I would give it a low 8 I think too. Well maybe. My first issue wiht the game is the controls are crappy. Square made an action game here but left in a lot of thier turn based RPG elements, nothing like having to select items from menu during a battle that takes place in real time huh? The jump sucks and there is platforming in this game so that doesn;t help. The graphics range for cool to just plain ugly. That Gummi ship sequence flying between worlds looks like something worse than things in the 8-bit days and it also controls crappy too. Oh and the game doesn't give you a whole lot of idea of what to do. ANyway, slowly soldiering through it.
After realizing that playing that game would be chore I started of God of War 2 which I am loving. I loved the first but two is alot better which I really didn't expect. Unfortunately there seems to be technical issue with either the game and certain slim line version PS2's from what I can tell. At a certain area in the game I found that the game would hang and not load. and not just in a certain part. You actually go through this area at least wice in the game and I had problems when I first past through. At the time I wasn;t sure what to actually ddo in the section and I ended up dying and when I pressed to start from the last checkpoint the game wouldn't load. When i returned to area later I saved outside that same area. i then did what needed to to progress further. Up head ing the new direction the game pop up loading text which it does every so often and the game hangs and never recovers. Even woeirder if I try to save in the save again it also hangs. All that ads up to technical problem rather than say a scratched disk. The byt the way does have scracthes but they are not that bad and the game has run smooth as silk. At any rate it seems I can progres no further which sucks.
Not what will play next, I guess Half Life 2 though and its episodes which should take up a good chunk of time. Though maybe I will since GTA4 is right around the corner huh?
On the school front I nearing the end of second class in this block with this being the last week. I actually have already finished all the work though so I am just hanging around and have started the reading for my next and last class for this degree already. I only have one class in this block yes so that will make it a little easier. It's Intro to Web Design 2 which should be to hard. After that its like 2 to 2 1/2 weeks off and back to the grind for the Bachelors. Can't say I am looking forward to that though. Probably be too hard for me. Got to try though.
