Blog 5: Puzzle Agent 2 Review

http://themashedpotatoes.wordpress.com/


Puzzle Agent 2 is the sequel to a game I never really played, yet I heard fondly of. Puzzle Agent 2 has a lot going for it, an amazing developer, Graham Annable's artwork, and the humor of Telltale. Though the game does have bad animations and some other minor annoyances with the gameplay. The nausea I get from the game stems from the graphics.

You play as agent Tethers, a special agent who has a knack for puzzles. He returns to Scoggins, Minnesota, because he was haunted by nightmares of an astronaut. The games plot thickens very quickly, there is conspiracy, disappearances and new characters, and the fantastic plot – that Telltale did a great job of tying together with puzzles.

I love the graphics when the game is moving slowly, but when it speeds up I feel dizzy, yet this only happens rarely. The game can look beautiful at times though; unlike the first game Puzzle Agent 2 has 3d effects. Those effects make Annable's art all the sweeter. The game does suffer from blocky animations which can range from reasonable to unnecessary. In one scene Agent Tethers is chasing someone, and while you see the background and foreground moving fast, you see two blocky indviduals with no flow, which for that half a minute was the most petrifying experiences I have had with animation ever.

The gameplay is fun, especially when you have conversations and play the puzzles. The puzzles can range from enjoyable to mind wrenching. I almost had an attack trying to find out how to solve one puzzle than moving on to the next puzzle which took me one second. There is no "starts easy, ends difficult" type stuff in this game, only variations of easy to difficult puzzles which are scattered and have no clue if they have something to with anything, but that is part of the fun as well.

Puzzle Agent 2 is a somewhat flawed but satisfying tale from Telltale, and should be praised for its storytelling and puzzles, but not for its animations.

Blog 4: My hunted review from my website the mashed potatoes

Heres a Hunted: The demons forge review! i wrote it enjoy the read!

Hunted: The Demon's Forge is a game where a good amount of people will hate it and a good amount of people will like it. I am a guy who likes it, it is not just a Gears Of War fantasy re-hash , it is something much more rich and detailed than most Gears of Warclones. Sadly, it does have various problems like stiff animations and incredibly smart AI. While you may think AI should be smart, they can still be smart to a point where they swarm you from all directions and kill you within a few seconds.

The story follows E'lara and Caddoc, two mercenaries whose back-and-forth banter are more enjoyable than the story itself, which is what actually makes the game so special. The team at inExile said, "screw the story", and made a dungeon crawler worth playing for any Diablo fan or even a Gears fan. The story has the two mercs looking for an artifact, yet soon they stumble upon a woman who directs them towards a town under siege, and that's basically it.

The gameplay is exactly like you would think it is. The archery is exactly like playing Gears, and the sword fighting is great too, but the archery is where it's at, since that AI is dastardly. The AI is tremendously smart and I had various difficulties coping with the fact I died a lot in this game thanks to swarms of AI rushing towards me and dodging a lot of my attacks. The worst thing about Hunted in my mind is the inventory and by inventory I mean there is none. When I pick potions up I have to squint to see if I have them, and you can only hold one set of armor and one set of weapons only when you pick them up, so say goodbye to your pre-order stuff when you don't need them anymore.

The graphics in the beginning were great and the rest of the game's graphics were okay, not great, but not bad. They used recycled materials throughout which bothered me a good amount. The menus are not really menus, it's just options and quit, which is not bad by any means, but in options there were no subtitles, which every game by now should have. The crucible is a fun dungeon making mechanism in the game and it adds more value and keeps the game going well toan extent.

Hunted is an experience so odd,anyone should experience it. The developers created a truly unique game in Hunted, and is easily worth any gamer's time.
