HARDCORE GAMlNG

OK, so this week, I finally learned a lesson. GAMES DO SELL OUT. And because of my ignorance I do not have a copy of GTA IV, yet. In the meantime I decided to busy myself with two new games. The first is Turning Point: Fall of Liberty on 360. The game is very buggy, the graphics are colourless and chunky, the voice acting is dodgy, and the whole things screams Hour of Victory, if it weren't for some little tweaks that make the game soo much better. For one, the premise of a What If? alternate reality is a good idea, the only problem is, large chunks of the game are so generic that you will easily forget that your fighting Nazis in America. Wanderful setpieces like the Empire State Building overturned or the White House decorated with Nazi decor will often remind you. One thing is the idea of new weaponry that would have come to exist if Germany had managed to take the US. But the downside is the campaign is so short and repetitive that when you think about it, the weapons come and go an you hardly notice them, the only weapon that stuck out was the infra-red sniper rife. Aswell as all that, the game can be INSANELY difficult, thanks to slow, wobbly movement and the fact your character is very weak.

The other game is purchased was A-TrainHX. All I can say so far is that the game is VERY hardcore. I was expecting something like SimCity with more emphasis on trains. I was wrong. I'll update later.

Well, hopefully by my next blog I will have GTA IV. :) One can always hope.
