Gaming has been pretty bland as of late. BFII is still having it's moments, and I have decided I am just re-flipping-diculous at that game. It's official. I am just amazingly inhumanly good at BFII. I thought I'd let you guys know :)

So yeah, for some reason, I had this urge to play either James Bond: Agent Under Fire or Nightfire. No reason why. I just did.

So this is where my brother Kyle comes in. Free rentals urge for James Bond= Happy Me. Well to make a long story short, no James Bond games were found at the store. Oddly enough, I can picture where they both were last time I was in there cuz I saw them...

So here I am, sitting in front of my brothers' Xbox thinking, what do I play now?

Then I turn to Freedom Fighters. Everyone I know who played it loves it, and I never once played it. So I thought I'd give it a shot.

I found the controls to be a little unweildy, especially with having to click in and hold the left thumbstick to manually aim?  Coupled with the stupidly inacurrate pistol, it became a bit of a doozy to effectively kill anyone. :lol: But I liked the level structure, the concepts, how the game and missions progress, and I think it's a pretty well put together game. Frankly the only problem is with the controls.

Lastly in video gaming, is the gem that is God of War. Long have I sought to wrap my brain around this ethereal macabre action adventure game with gore and violence as far as the eye can see. Well, due to the lack of mindless James Bondage my brother finally picked this one up for me, and I dove right in. Here are my initial impressions:

Well, to start off, the game has wonderful taste. The more often than not creepy soundtrack sets the mood quite well, and its reliance on the Greek mythology and culture is a hand-clappingly exciting factor in the game, and plays a much larger role than I would have ever thought. The creatures, characters, cities, refrences, history, it all makes the game what it is, and it's very welcome. I knew that's what the game based on, but it's also what it thrives off of. Within the 1 and a half, maybe 2 hours I played it, I had already experienced two boss fights with Greek mythology creatures, the Hydra and Medusa, and enjoyably and grusomely slaughtered both. I had encountered three gods/esses, and earned moves that embodied their powers in mine. I had fought minotaurs as well, a nice addition. They are a sort of mini-boss I suppose, and it's cool to see some other mythological creatures that aren't as big (main) or big (size) as the others I mentioned. I've always liked Minotaurs, but I like killing them even more :twisted:

Woah, Nelly, slow it down and speed it up. :lol: :sorry: This is going on forever, and I still have other things to talk about. Well, I love the presentation, the controls are superb, the combat is as satisfying as it is gruesome, and the game made a good first impression and is calling me to play more. Oh, and did I mention those absolutely gnarly context-sensative moves? No? I didn't? *drools* They're crucial! :lol: That's a joke with me and Ben...

Anyway, I have a question for ye all (like all three of you) who read this blog. And that is: What should I be for Halloween? I haven't done Halloween lately, but I'm going to a friend's Halloween party and i should at least be festive and participate. Serious suggestions would be nice; something plausible, not "Vash the Stampede!" or "Bruce Almighty!" or "Link!". Hahahaha...Bruce Almighty...

*clears throat* Anyway, something I might actually be able to pull off. It can be something as simple as my friends who are going in suits as mobsters and carrying airsoft guns in their coats (of course, don't use that as a suggestion please :lol: ) but it doesn't have to be anything fancy at all. Just something other than myself...

Oh and, I put "some updates" in the title didn't I...well, at the time I obviously had an idea of some sort, but as of now I don't know who's pot I was smoking when I put that becuz I don't have any idea what I meant. Oh well. You'll all lose a bit of sleep tonight as you wonder..."What in God's green Earth did irmeeleman5995 forget that I now do not know...? :cry:"

Life stinks. It happens. And, becuz I haven't said this lately, I have MPH and MKDS and play them online when I happen to have a game with friends (I don't play random people online anymore in either for their respective reasons) so just IM me or PM me if you ever wanna play and I'll do my best to play :D I really love both games but man those hackers on MPH and man those dumb lucky noobz on MK...*sigh* Oh well. It's prolly time to hit the sack. Big day tommorow. Get to go the the Air and Space Museum. Yay! I guess. :? :|

*shrug*

Until next time, I've been irmeleeman5995, and that's a mouthful to say!
