This weekend was slightly different from the past, I beat Bioshock earlier in the week and I got on this good deal at a used game store and got Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. so I was playing that for a good portion of the weekend. Besides having a ridiculous name H.A.W.X. is a pretty sweet game, I got into it just in time for the second one to be announced during E3. It has some great flight mechanics and makes you really feel like a top gun flying around especially in the "Assistance OFF" mode where you can see your sweet dodging and weaving from a cinematic angle. It's also a nice touch that they added the characters from Ghost Recon to make a cameo and add some missions where must provide support for them it ties in the series and is cool for any Tom Clancy junkies like myself.
Of course Mass Effect 2 got some play time and I was able to complete a lot of missions and dig deeper into the storyline. I might actually be able to complete it in the next few weekends, that is if I don't get distracted by randomly feeling the urge to play Fallout 3. My friends and I were talking about Fallout 3 since New Vegas was on the approach and it gave me this urge to play it so that got a little play time as well on the side. It's definitely a favorite amongst my collection.
The last game worth mentioning over the weekend is Super Paper Mario. This is an old Wii title that I've always wanted to get into that I missed when it was first released. I got it earlier at a used game store so it was exciting to finally pop it in and get it going. It's a fun game but a lot different from it's Nintendo 64 predecessor. It plays more like a c.lassic side scroller than what the N64 did with it's turn based battles, it's an interesting touch but very enjoyable.
Now that E3 is here it's crunch time to get these old titles I've been playing beaten and ready to gobble up all these new great titles coming up. Is anybody else feeling this crunch?
