Second Sight impressions BEFORE PLAYED

iv been looking at this game for awhile now and i think its come along very nicely. The storyline is what really is going to drive me though, more than the gameplay which seems mediocre. A man who wakes up and has had his memory wiped, you play as him in present and past, and sometimes you even see the ghost of yourself from the future when playing in the past, so there is prolly some element of time travel involved. Another thing i noticed is that the psycic powers seem to appeal to me more in this game than in games like psi ops: the mindgate. Second Sight also has an innovative little feature, instead of zooming in with a sniper rifle, there is a box in the bottom corner that is automatically zoomed for quick references, which will be much easier than zooming in and out all the time. Ive read all about it and cant wait for its release on the 21st, sure hope it dosnt flop, but only time will tell....

Prince of Persia 2 impressions BEFORE PLAYED

I absolutly loved the first one and am anxiously awaiting the seconds arrival. i read all the updates and the interviews with the developers, and there is only one thing i am a little unhappy about. They have already told you that the prince is going to die in this game. Something happened when he was messing around with time (prolly aged him internally of something) and has cut his life span dramatically. The story has something to do with pirates and it sounds like the battle system is much improved. They have also put enemies all over the place instead of just certain areas, which should add to the excitment of the game. There is obviously no more dagger, but he will still be able to alter time, how it will work and how it will be limited (which im sure it will be) is still unknown. It looks much darker which adds even more appeal to me, since i dive right into dark plots. i get the idea the weapons will be more diverse and each will have its own special thing you need it for, like in other games. The release date being so close to Halo 2's will seriously cut down on its sales, but i will still buy it on the release date, since i will prolly already have beaten Halo 2's 24 levels by then.8) :wink:

ESPN NFL 2k5 impressions

man, now im not a huge fan of sports games, ok i cant normaly cant stand sports games but this game i couldnt resist. i dont normally buy a football game every year, but i figured i would so i could see what it was like online, which was, unfortuanatly, the most dissapointing part of the game for me. The wait time for a game takes forever, you can get up, grab something to eat, make a phone call, check your email, let the dog out and the game will just be starting. its crazy, i played a few games but quickly abandoned that part of the game. The franchise is what always has appealed to me, so i tryed it. it was definaly a diffrent approach to franchise mode than the madden games, which, up till now, was all id ever bought, and was definatly not as easy to use. i did think the 25 greatest moments in football history was a nice touch, where you could play all these famous situations. other things i was impressed with were the graphics and especially the half time show and sport center. they all looked so real. overall, i give this game and 8.9, a tad bit lower than the GS score, but what i really look for is franchise, and it just didnt deliver in that category.

Fable impressions BEFORE PLAYED

yeah, ive read all the reviews, every morsole of information that came out i gobbled it up, and i must say it was not what i was expecting. Sure theyve taken out the dragon riding and some other cool stuff, but thats going to stop the game from being good. This game is not going to top charts, atleast not my charts, but that doesnt mean its not going to be awesome in its own way. At first i wanted it, then i decided against it, and since the reviews have come out ive been all over it. Hopefully the stores wont be sold out on the release date, i dont have mine preordered and am not a big fan of waiting till it gets in stock. Check back for my final impressions when i get my hands on a copy.

RS3:Black Arrow impressions

Now I realize this game has been out for a few weeks now, but im going to go ahead and post my impressions. This game, in a single word, is outstanding. I got the first one at a discount price a few weeks before this one came out just to see what it was like. i was very impressed and couldnt wait for this one to come out. after searching every store for the game on the day it came out, i went home, popped it in, and played the first single player mission. I immediatly noticed that this map was alot bigger than the originals maps, so i took it online. right from the get go i joined a squad. we just messed around a little bit to get used to the game and i found the online servers running smoothly. the maps are so much better, and the clan integration was a very nice touch. ever since i bought this game, i have not played another, it has totally owned me. my overall rating is a 9.6. much higher than the GS score.

First Entry

This little feature is kinda cool. Anyway, i think ill be posting my impressions of games on here, possibly some other stuff too. Nothing much to say right now.
