A Few Thoughts

  • OMG! If you buy Portal 2 for PS3, you get the PC/Mac version on Steam free! And you will be able to link your PSN and Steam accounts to share save files and such via Steamcloud?! This is the first time this year that I am majorly kicking myself for choosing to go the whole year without buying games. I now know the first thing I am buying January 1, 2012.
  • Over the weekend, I finished the first game in The Sly Collection. I think it was called Sly Cooper and the… Platinum Trophy Cakewalk. It was a very easy Platinum. (I've worked longer and harder for bronze trophies.) Trophies just kept coming at me for everything I did, including: starting the game. Srsly.
  • The 8 trophies for the Sly mini-games were even easier. You get 4 for playing each game. Then you get 4 more for attaining very easily attainable scores. Again, cakewalk.
  • But thanks to this onslaught of easy trophies, I have reached Level 11 on PSN. Woot! Leveleven!
  • Seriously, though, Sly 1 was a relatively good 3D platformer. Sly 2 is shaping up to be much better though. And I think one of the levels takes place in Canada. Nice.
  • I'm currently reading Replay: The History of Video Games by Tristan Donovan. Interesting stuff so far, but I'm still in the early days of games like Pong and Tank.
