Rainbow 6: VEGAS and now Enchanted Arms....

I made my way through Rainbow 6: Vegas and it was fun... I am going to try to find some time to play online, but for some reason being called a "noob" for hours on end doesn't really appeal to me that much... I am more of a "story mode" person anyway... I still thought I would give it a shot since its all the rage and I am low on games to play right now...

I liked Vegas. I was impressed with the controls and your squad-mates. They seemed to respond well to your commands, but on occasion I would have liked to send them somewhere that I couldn't physically see as to breach a room from both sides or have them enter from downstairs as I picked people off from above... it would have been handy sometimes, but not entirely necessary... Every once in a while I would get stuck at some spot where cover was bad or we were surrounded, but I assume that was partially because I wasn't very good and possibly being too cavalier. It just took some attempts and a little frustration and different tactics, but eventually, with a little luck, I would surpass the obstacle and press forward... I was a little sad when it ended because I didn't really feel like I accomplished the "goal" and saved the day. Now I HAVE to get the sequel, but I probably would have anyway...

I have moved on to Enchanted Arms, mostly because it was $20 and an RPG. Its alright and not overly complicated, but the battle system is just weird. It seems that most battles you win before the enemy can attack and if you don't you will really take a beating... most battles are over in one or two rounds... because neither side can really take damage that long... you seem either overpowered or underpowered compared to your enemies, but the story seems good enough to play through... and if I don't, I didn't spend $60 to find out. It gives me something to do besides stare and my PS3 and download updates...
