Instead of a nostalgic song, I just decided to choose an epic-sounding song, so here we go:

Under Heaven Destruction - BlazBlue

Just 1 of the 25 epic songs in this OST

Killzone 2:

I just got back into Killzone 2 around yesterday. Today was a ton of fun playing with mitu123 and camilo777 :) Add me on PSn if you want to play!

S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl

One of my best friends gifted this to me since it was $2 on steam (still is so go get it). I still haven't played it, but I'll try to sometime later tonight. I may also do a Let's Play of it just for the hell of it. Can someone who has played it tell me if it's scary or not? Just want to know so I can play with headphones in the dark :)

Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time - Review

Here's my review of Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time (copied from my review of it)

Presentation:

You're thrust into a somewhat epic/cartoony space adventure as you search the cosmos for Ratchet's lost buddy Clank. Characters are well known in the gaming world and each one plays a nice role.Your job is to collect Zoni, a mysterious creature which will aid you on your quest. The more you collect, the more you can upgrade your ship to go from planet to planet. It's like getting star bits in SMG or Eggs in Spyro 3.
Very smooth game and very little to no bugs in it. Atleast none that I found in my playthroughs.

Graphics:
Absolutely gorgeous! I wouldn't be surprised if this was named graphics king (on consoles). There are a ton of colors, nice explosions, and a lot of things going on on the screen without a single hitch in the framerate, AND it runs at 60fps. This is really like a Pixar movie. If I had to mark down the graphics, it would be because Insomniac stated that this will be their last game that runs at 60fps :evil:

Gameplay:
This is where A Crack in Time shines. You'll play through the game in two perspectives: As Ratchet, and as Clank. The Ratchet levels are 80% shooting with 20% platforming here and there and the Clank levels are about 60% Puzzle and 40% platforming. It's a nice mix and it works well to tell the story. As Ratchet, you can also go around in your ship. The ship gameplay isn't too great since I felt that the controls could have been a little better, but it's a nice way of going from planet to planet without breaking up the pace.

Sound:
There's a pirate radio is quite humorous, but I thought that it can get old fast. Voice acting is great and the weapons and other sound effects are top notch!

8.5/10

Replay Value:
The game ranges from about 9 to 14 hours depending on the difficulty and if you do everything. Once you're done, there are challenge arenas where you complete challenges like fighting a horde of enemies, etc. which gain you bonuses like armor upgrades. There are also Constructo Weapons which you can get parts and upgrade as you play through the game. These upgrades include changing the material that the gun shoots out, making it semi-auto vs. charging it up, etc. You can mod you're Constructo Pistol so that it has the exact same effect as the Plasma Pistol from Halo =)

A Crack in Time is a wonderful game for people who like adventure games. It's got great characters, excellent gameplay, superb visuals, and a great story for a game that primarily targets the little ones :)
