Okay, so after the huge avalanche of games last month I'm finally ready for a nice, slow one. Seriously though, it's actually a pretty good thing since I'm going to be pretty busy with other activities throughout the next month. There's only two games on the list this time and both of them are 360 games that I'm not exactly crazy for, but interested in playing.
Too Human (360): 08/19/08
Oh Too Human, I remember when I looked forward to playing you on the Gamecube. Well, its been a couple years and you're completely different from what I thought you would be, but now the time is finally here. What I'm really worried about with this game is that when things get worked on for insanely long amounts of time, they tend to pass a point where they stop getting better and start getting worse. I'm worried that's going to happen with this one. Though the premise and gameplay st.yle do seem promising, I want to wait until I hear what the reviewers say before making any purchasing decisions.
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (360): 08/31/08
I never played the first Mercs game, but the promise of GTA in a war zone is mighty tempting. Honestly, I'm not expecting this game to be much more than average, in which case I'll probably hold off on buying it until the price goes down. But, hey, I've been wrong before and if it surprises me I might just be inclined to pick it up right away.
So that's basically it...
Just as a bit of an update, I bought Final Fantasy IV the other week and LOVE it. That was actually the only game I bought last month since I really haven't been playing that much for some reason or another. Hopefully that'll change soon.
