Greetings and Salutations!
I haven't written here in a long time, have I? Oh well. Not like I've been missed.
Anyway, I am now the proud owner of a Playstation 3! (have been for about 2 months actually. thanks, income tax refund!) It is absolutely amazing! I came to the party late, so was forced to get a 40gig, which meant no PS2 games, but oh well. Can't have your cake and eat it too.
Oblivion has been eating every single hour that I'm not at work. The game is just amazing in just about every single aspect. I wish they would have put in some sort of different lvling up system. Seems a little too random as far as stat bonuses go. Oh, and it also makes me want to avoid lvl 11 like the plague. Damn Will-O-The-Wisps! They keep on killing NPC's!
Burnout: Paradise is awesomely sweet. The sense of speed and freedom is unlike any other game I've ever played. Races are HARD now. Road Rages and Marked Man events are my fave. Stunt Runs are difficult. I love all the events, and really like the cars and styles of cars. Right car for the right job. So much to do, and it's all so pretty to look at. Only gripes I have with it are the soundtrack's not as good as Takedown (the ability to do more then just cycle forward in the song list in-game would have helped.) And the other thing is, there's no marker above other cars you're racing with. Makes it really difficult on the road rages to tell foe from plain obstacle. And it really doesn't help trying to shut down cars.
Gonna pick up GTAIV next week. As long as there's not profanity out the wazoo like San Andreas, it should be much better.
Be back next week with a full report!
Peace, Love, and Bullfrogs!
