Having finally purchased a new computer and assembling it, I've come to a few conclusions. The first is that d-link wireless usb devices suck so badly that I even wrote them a letter. It started with dear @ssfaces, and went downhill from there. The second is that next gen games look great, and play roughly the same as current gen games. I've been slugging my way through Stalker, and enjoying that when it works, but there are a number of extremely curious defects. Aside from the usual AI problems and getting stuck in walls, for whatever reason, when I stand still for any amount of time, I recieve lethal doses of radiation. Never mind the fact that the guys in town around me are yucking it up while I'm apparently being bombarded with millions of free radicals, God has decreed that it's cancer town for me, and I just got a way one ticket first class on the die and reload express. There are a few niggling extras that irritate, but it's the radiation that really pisses me off. I restarted twice to make sure I hadn't done anything grievous, only to find that punishment is not limited to a single play arch. Rainbow Six Vegas found its way on to my hard drive, and has been an enjoyable choice for the most part, but I'm really starting to notice how bad the AI is, and just how limited in scope the campaign is. I'd alter my review from before, but really its the fact that somehow I've managed to find a few places where I still get stuck in walls. It would appear that most games are still repeating the same mistakes that their predecessors did, only now we're paying full price for the privilege of greater aesthetic. Maybe its time for gaming companies to take stock of what is important and focus on things that matter rather than addressing the simple. But enough of me being whiny. Starcraft 2 info was released a bit ago, and after taking stock of the videos, pictures, and info that was released, I'm convinced that it was originally supposed to be an expansion for starcraft that just kept growing in scope until it became a sequel. Very familiar to say the least, but if so then that just means it'll be more popular than God...again. My bro made a snap purchase of Earth Defense Force 2017, and I thought him an idiot until I started playing it. The game is a bit of retarded fun, and you could definitely do worse at 20 bucks. Arguably the coop is what makes the game, because the AI is just to stupid to be of much help in single player. Also lasers, pyew pyew. May a bounty of combo breakers be bestowed upon you and yours.
