Hey everyone!
It has been a week since a did a blog so I thought I would write one up for some entertainment. Anyways, I got The Orange Box for Xbox 360 this week, making it my first time purchasing Half Life 2. Hey, its probably the best way to purchase it anyways, seeing how its has its two episodes and two brand new titles packed in with it. If you don't know what I mean, may i suggest you go back to the main page of this website, click on one of the many stories about The Orange Box, and read that? Anyways, here is some pictures of the game:
Anyways, the game is pretty amazing, considering how let down I was about Half Life 1. I mean, Half Life 2 is considerably better than its predecessor. I remember how I played Half Life for the first time on Playstation 2 back when it was released. This was before I even heard of the little game called "Halo." I went into it, expecting something amazing compared to my experience on a game I had gotten prior to it, that being the firsty entry to the Timesplitters series. Anyways, I jumped into the game excited. what I found was an interesting story...only to fall apart by the fact that the action is slow crawl in the beginning. Sure, it picked up, but I wasn't impressed by what it picked up to become. The story continued to evolve, and I wasn't impressed by what occured in the combat part. Anyways, this brings us back to Half Life 2 and how impressive it is. The game really shows some innovative designs, from the gravity gun to the remarkable physics engine. One thing that really catches my eye is the attachment to the characters I'm creating as I play. This game makes me feel ishould go back and play HL and its expansions, which I still own all of them, just to experience the storyline. Moving along, Here are some cheap PC titles I picked up today:
I have only been able to play Bad Day LA so far, and I have to say the rating for it seems somewhat deserved since it really ins't that great of a game. However, I found it quite humorous with very cliche attitudes the characters possess. More on that title later. The other two were mere pick ups because they looked interesting. I hope you enjoy these pictures.
Besides that, I'm hoping to getting back into blogging soon. The trouble is, I never have the typing energy to do so, with so many papers to type up almost every week. I hope to come back and make some more entries starting now, but i doubt it may happen.
Until then, Peace
