Hey guys!

First off I just want to say sorry if I'm less active on your blogs my internet just really sucks...

Since I recently moved we winded up with a different provider which in this case was obviously a bad thing.

Hopefully we get something better soon but it's just really hard to be active when something that should take 2 seconds takes 20 minutes.

SO YEAH!

Anyways just thought I'd quickly comment on some games I finished recently and games I'm playing.

because everybody cares! ;D

right?

............................................

DEPONIA

Deponia is a point and click adventure game if you didn't know already.

For the most part I thought it was a great point n clicker.

The puzzles expected pretty reasonable stuff from you.... I think maybe one time after I finished a puzzle I was like "ummm I guess so" but the games puzzles were mostly all really fun to figure out and made sense after completion.

The game is a total comedy with character dialog being humorous 90% of the time.

I thought a lot of the humor was pretty good and the game had me smiling for one reason or another for a majority of the playthrough.

Though some of the jokes were total flops and there were times where I was flat out annoyed when I was probably expected to laugh.

The environments looked really good. The game has a cartoony style but with a lot of detail... I wasn't a huge fan of Deponia's(the main town) overmap but all the other environments were excellent and the character models weren't bad either.

SKYWARD SWORD

Skyward Sword was a fantastic game.

I'm a huge Zelda fan and this game didn't disappoint.

I'm not going to lie I did have some extremely frustrating moments with the motion controls.

One time I died 2 times from a scorpion boss and trust me.... they're not that tough....

The main trouble I had with the motion controls was the thrust(definitely the most gameplay ruining control goof)but for the most part the game controlled really well ESPECIALLY for a motion controlled game.... so at the very least I can say Skyward Sword utilized motion controls more successfully than any other game.

And when the motion controls worked they were extremely satisfying chopping and poking enemies exactly where they needed to be chopped/poked.

While the graphics are already aged(it's on the Wii after all) the art direction is beautiful. A great color pallet with a nice water color look. Everything's bright and happy to look at ;P

This game did have you revisit places really often but I think they did a good job changing the areas enough to where the game felt new regardless.

The world wasn't as huge as other Zelda games but I also think it's a lot bigger than people give it credit for as the 3 dungeon areas you do visit are pretty huge on their own... but yeah the sky should have been utilized more as it only has a few islands to explore most of which will only need to be visited once.

But something this game had that other Zelda games didn't have as much of is shopping. Things like potion and arrows can be bought easily not even costing a redonk amount of rupees which made finding money WAY more fun to search for than in other LOZ games.

There are also way more items to invest in like medals that improve your chances of finding certain thing's or that would give you an extra heart. Also the tools/weapons you find throughout your journey can be upgraded multiple times making money even more important.

I think the importance of money added a lot to this game.

All of the dungeons and bosses were a lot of fun. The puzzles were clever and I never felt cheated.

The only thing I got sick of was the time shift crystal dungeons but I wouldn't say those parts were bad as much as I just didn't care for them personally.(in fact the whole idea was pretty clever)

Overalll!!!!!!!

I would have liked more going on in the sky and I do wish the motion controls were perfect but motion controls just haven't been perfected in general so that's not a completely fair gripe.

But the game was beautiful, the music was great, the dungeons were well thought out, the bosses were fun to fight, links outfit was green, and I loved how important they made money.

SO IT"S AN AWESOME GAME

I planned to talk about more games but I'm running out of time so I'll save it till next time.

Hope everybodies doing well... have a great day/night/twilight zone :D
