My Week

Well my past week playing games hasn't been to extraordinary. As you may remember I have like 200 games to play and I started 2 new games to cut the list down. First off is Musashi: Samurai Legend on the PS2. It was developed by Square Enix and is an adventure game reminiscint of The Legend of Zelda series. From first impressions, I love the art style, it's a unique cel-shading different from others, the gameplay is rather slow however and the voice acting is over the top but I should play to the end.The other game I started was Beowulf on the 360. My first impressions of this game is that it's a stinking turd of a movie game. That's it. The only redeemable trait, and the only reason I'm playing it is for the easy achievements which are beginning to not be worth it, especially on hard.

I have stopped playing Breakdown (Xbox) at the last encounter because it is nearly impossible. I know that there's a slim chance of beating it but I've read what happens so I don't have much reason to do it. But I will still give it one more shot... eventually. I'd give my highest recommendations to Breakdown, it is truly a gem in the rough, the story is great and the perspective you play in is even better, the gameplay is so-so and if you play it save yourself a headache and play on easy. Now that I'm done plugging, I'm also in the last chapter of Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law on the Wii. I love the show so it's no surprise that I love the game. The writing is gold and the cases are intriguing, my only complaints stem from a lot of trial and error and that Steven Colbert didn't lend his voice to it. I also started playing Drill Dozer on the GBA which is another gem in the rough. It's a great 2D platformer done by the Pokemon guys showing that they can branch off, and do it well. The game is innovative, fun, and it pushes the GBAs hardware to the limits.

I bought my first WiiWare game and first impressions are good. Basically Gyrostarr is a Tempest clone. The graphics are actually really good, it's very neon to say the least. It has 4 player support with what looks like some fun controls (2 people sharing option) but from playing a few levels with the Classic Controller it's kinda jumpy but well worth it for $7.

I started volunteering at a business Tuesday and Thursday. It's called The Men In Pink and they offer support to people who have spouses or relatives going through any type of cancer. What I'm doing however is entering companies into a database, which I love. It's just the owner who is rarely there and the secretary. I'm volunteering for a scholarship and must get 40 hours by July 7, I've done 2 days and have 13, and I work there all next week except Friday.
