Been sick for a few days now, I think I had a sore throat last Saturday, and now it's worse.
I did go to school in the morning, because I thought we were supposed to return our job interview assignments. I saw so much trouble doing it on my free time last Wednesday (we had Thursday free to do it but it didn't work out) so no way would I just forget about it. Well, we had a guest from Italy talking about something that I didn't pay attention to, and so now the assignments are supposed to be returned tomorrow instead. I'm not going to school tomorrow unless I miraculously get better over night.

I played Punisher today. I haven't yet posted anything about my new games I bought last Friday after I came back from the army check-up, so here's a quick overwiev:

Deep Water. Some really low-budget game about a world after some nuclear catastrophe (or something like that) now filled with only water, floating cities, ship-owners and sea-bandits. Sounds like Water world with Kevin Costner, huh? It actually is somewhat similar, but instead the main goal is to hunt sea monsters, like the kraken, sea serpent or even ghost ships. Quite fun in a boring way, sometimes really annoying.

LOTR: The Two Towers. You must have heard about this. A beat 'em up game based on the two first Lord of the Rings movies, starring Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas. After reading a lot of reviews about it, I thought it would be good. Instead it's only fun for a while. Sometimes I don't know what I should be doing exactly, the movie cut-scenes (which seamlessly flow into game cut-scenes and then to gameplay) that you can't always skip are just annoying, and I feel no reason to actually keep going with the "story".
The areas areas are hard to distinguish from each other and the camera is awful in most places. The controls are clunky and it took me a long while to learn how to kill orcs while defending too, and the thin sugar-coat that tastes good isn't worth the trouble. The game doesn't seem to know whether it's for the people who have seen the movies or not, with pointless, short cut-scenes "explaining" things quickly before a battle. It feels like something they give you at the movie theater for 99 cents after you've watched the movie.
I enjoyed the adventure gameplay in Fellowship of the Ring more.

The Punisher. Based on the Marvel comics about a man named Frank Castle, who becomes the Punisher, a vigilante who punishes criminals. It's a fun game, quite gory. I enjoy the comicbook look and feel, the athmosphere is just cool and the voice acting sounds great, though I would've liked more different background music,. The one and the same tune starts to piss me off. Gameplay is a bit of clunky, feels like a mixture of Red Dead and Manhunt, but like a stripped down version. It resembles Manhunt in other ways too, like I said the game is gory. Manhunt had more stylished wounds and blood splatters, but basicly it's same. You can also do special interrogations and executions in Manhunt fashion, like throw a guy in a tank of piranhas or let a rhino impale a criminal. Also the quick executions done in close quarters don't go far from Manhunt's executions.
All in all, I've enjoyed the game up to this point, and I hope I'll enjoy it all the way through till the end.

I also got a new mobilephone. My old one, Nokia 3310 has an old battery that can't last a 1 minute phone call, so my mum bought me a new one so she can reach me 24/7. My new phone is Nokia 1112. It's a bit smaller than 3310, not nearly as heavy, and has some cool tunes and other stuff.

That's it for today.
I'll try to finish the Konami Union's game list, though I don't think it's going to be posted tonight. Maybe tomorrow...
