So I've played a bunch of games recently, and I thought I would give you a few mini-reviews.
Halo Wars
Greek mythology has been plundered by plenty of games, but Christianity finally gets its turn.This third person brawler takes place in Heaven, and due to some imbalance because of Beelzebub (I couldn't quite get a handle on the story) the angels have all gone crazy and are beating down on each other. Thus you take control of one of the affected angels and beat down on the others in a bid to survive. As you beat down on the angels you earn souls which you can use to get upgrades. Once you earn enough souls, you get a kick ass halo that acts as a long range weapon, slicing through anything you throw it at. There are also stealth options, and it is extremely satisfying to sneak up on an unsuspecting angel to garotte them with your halo. Christianity never looked so good. I hear Jesus is an unlockable character but I'm not sure how to unlock him yet.
Oblivion
I can't tell you anything about this game. Every time I turn it on I just get a white screen.
Ratchet & Clank : Quest For Booty
Ratchet has been saving the galaxy for long enough. So now he is looking for action of another kind. This sandbox game has you wandering around collecting bolts so that you can pay for services of the local ladies. Clank comes along for the ride, and as usual transforms into various mechanical devices. And of course upgrades abound for the various devices you have. Multi-speeds, extensions, etc, and those devices are used in some of the games minigames. Better not go into those minigames in much detail though. Might get myself banned.
Far Cry 2
It's bizarre that such a niche sport made a video game in the first place, let alone a sequel. For those who haven't played it, it introduced us to the world of people who can cry really hard, and the sport measures the distance that participants tears travel. It was a bit shallow, with simple controls using some basic analog stick rotations and button presses. The main improvements in the sequel involve more character development, so you can create an emo who actually has something to cry about, and this character development means you can cry even further as you progress. My record is 359 metres, but I'm pretty sure that it was a glitch.
Mini Ninjas
This is more proof that games are art and socially relevant. This tells the tale of midget ninjas, and how hard they have it compared to regular ninjas in becoming accepted. But as you will learn as you play this game, they are almost like real people. You won't make fun of dwarves when one puts a shuriken into your throat at a 100 yards or stabs you in the neck from behind.
Eternal Sonata
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a game or not. I've put the disc in, and a sonata started playing. I've tried turning off the console but it doesn't work. I've unplugged it at the wall, but it just keeps on playing...
