The Witcher or why do people play video games

For the past two days I am playing The Witcher. And I like what I am playing. So at this point, I have not tried to play Titan Quest, just because it is not interesting any more. But back to The Witcher. In this game, there is a very interesting collectable thing. You can collect card of naked women. To gain such a card, you must have sex with that woman, who is on the card. You can have sex only with specific women, not including whores. And here I understood one thing. I am trying to get all the cards. At one point in the game I understood that missed one young woman. But I was about two or three hours in the game after the moment I could have slept with her. So I understood that I have missed my chance. Because of that, I have loaded my saved game to the point, where I have not missed my opportunity to get this card. And now I am getting back all the progress, which I have already made.

And here I have made a conclusion. And I already knew this conclusion, but never had experienced it fully. In video games, people try to be something or someone, which they never will be or never wanted to be in real life. And I am proof to that. In life, I am a romantic and I doubt that I will ever have sex with all these women at my own free will. I will just try to have one partner at sex. But in The Witcher I am a guy, who is sleeping with all the women he possible can. So in real life I am one, but in this game, I am another.

So I ask a question to every reader, who will read this (but I doubt that there will be many). In non-linear games, what kind of a character you like to play? And what kind of a person you are in real life?

Titan Quest, Gears of War and NFS Most Wanted

So, let's start with Gears of War for the PC. In short this is a great game. In long- read my review. I had fun playing it, and I hope that you will when you will get to play it. Now about Titan Quest. Well, for me it is boring. And I mean really boring. The graphics are fine and the main gameplay is OK too. But it all does not matter after you realize that you have to teleport yourself back to the closest city to sell all the loot you have. There is just too many of this loot. It just kills all the fun out of the game. I am somewhere in 2/5 of the game and I doubt I will finish it. This is my third attempt to finish this game with a new character by the way. And last, but not least – Most Wanted. I have finely finished this game. I tried to finish it about 1,5 years before, but my hard drive had an error and I had to format it. And sometime in October I remembered, that I have this game. So I played it in time when I wasn't playing any other games. The game pretty good, but I doubt that I will write a review for it. Maybe I will, maybe I won't.

About BioShock

So I have posted my review. As a player who doesn't like FPs, BioShock made a very good impression on me. Especially I liked the atmosphere and the story. The city of Rapture has a very strong atmosphere. If it wasn't for story and atmosphere, I doubt I ever would finished the game. For more detail on my opinion check my review. The only thing that can bother a player is the weakness of weapons. My favorite weapon in the game was the shotgun. But it started to grow week. After some time, it took three or more shots to take a guy out. But never the less, I very liked this game. I realy think that anyone should try it.

Hello The Elder Scrolls union

So, this is my first blog entry. A guess it is nothing special, but for me it will be something new. So let's get started. Although, this is my first entry, nothing exiting will be written. As a member of GameSpot, my free account gives me the ability to write reviews. So I wrote three reviews about The Elder Scrolls IV. The first is for Oblivion, second for Knight of The Nine and the third for Shivering Isles. After a bit more than two weeks I got an invitation to join the Elder Scrolls union here on GameSpot. This is special for me, because this is proving that my writing isn't gone to waste. At this point I just joined the union, so I don't know what to expect. Time will tell.
