Since last blog I purchased 3 games, nfs:mw was cheap and HBM I got free with my fileplanet subscription thanks to a recommendation from my xfire friend Chandu who is just about ready for the big red bad monster at the end of diablo, I forget his name :P. Gears I got because I wanted to check out GFW Live and because my other friend jd1680a said it was good.
I just finished Gears not long ago and it was better than I expected, I think it did a good job at getting the simple things right, having some very good gameplay ideas. I did find it quite hard on hardcore, many sections I died a bit more than I liked, but not quite enough to make me drop the difficulty. The music was very good and I used the sniper rifle quite a bit.
NFS:MW I have been playing and its quite enjoyable, it gives me a break from shooters which is partly why I got it. The cop chases can be really fun and especially when its in the middle of a race and the cop AI is quite nice, coming from somebody who loves running from cops in gta games its enjoyable. Up to blacklist #6 but I'm having to upgrade my car to get through a lot of challenges, one con is the auto leveling of opponents being just a bit too noticable.
Hitman Blood money I have barely started, only done two missions, so far seems alright although I have no patience and just end up gunning down everybody, the newspaper says I'm an inexperienced nubcake and I agree.
In other news Crysis was better second time through, partly because I didn't rush so much (woe :( ) and also because you just see other ways to approach the same position and see battles play out completely differently. I also nearly have 5000 posts, so yay for me spamming the pc games forum!
