Assault Heroes review + stuff

Just posted a review for Assault Heroes, which was a blast for as long as it lasted.

I was wondering what you guys think of downloadable games, as I don't recall too many (if any) of you mentioning such games throughout my time here. I think some of them are great, even if they don't always last too long. That said I still wouldn't say I play too many, mainly because I can take full games home for free from my shop. Once I'm out, I will certainly be giving them more attention.

A couple of other random things. I'm playing Devil May Cry 4, and this thing is freaking hard. I have to turn to a FAQ every two seconds, and after getting my ass handed to me each time I face a boss, I have to check to figure out how on earth I am supposed to avoid it's attacks and actually get a hit in. After another whipping, I check the video footage so I can actually see how it is done. While it's challenging even once you know what you are doing, it is definitely not intuitive to actually figure out the process on your own. Am I just terrible at games, or is that one bloody insane? Even though I haven't played one before I went with Devil Hunter mode, which might have been a mistake.

There is something I want to do, and I'm considering making it a regular blog entry, but only if people are interested in reading it. I have an idea for a card-based video game, where you summon creatures to fight against others. Basically something you would see in Developer 4 a Day, but breaking it down like a diary format so it is digestible over a period of time. That way I can get feedback from you guys as well as I go along. I don't have any delusion about it becoming an actual game, but I will enjoy designing it anyway. This is completely self-indulgent and I will do it regardless whether it is on Gamespot or not, but I'm willing to share it if people are interested.

And a shout out to Jim, I just went back and looked at a few of your older reviews. I had to laugh at your Devil May Cry review, I think you've come a long way from insulting Gamespot and fanboys! Your recent reviews are some of the best user reviews I've seen. Orgasmic indeed.
