Oh Mercy, No Mercy.

With a delayed review on Sonic and Prince of Persia, I figured I’d give you guys a few pointers in Left 4 Dead. Particularly… the No Mercy stage. The only stage I ever play in versus. I’ll also conclude this post with a few game improvements I think valve should bring to the game.

More after the break!

Random things. Week of 01/12/2008

Hi!

I figured I’d post this week about my going ons. There is no full review yet but pending someone doesn’t beat me to it. (You’re free to do so!) I will most likely review Sonic Unleashed and Prince of Persia. I picked those up yesterday. Not knowing what to think of each because things have been quite hush for both! I played one hour of each last night. Am I satisfied? Yes. Quite satisfied.

More after the break of course!

Left 4 Dead mini-rant

Hey, here’s a two-fer.

This is just a rant however. I feel that the impressions that Jobocan posted covered alot of what needs to be said about Left 4 Dead.

So here goes. I absolutely detest people that either purposefully throw the game because they couldn’t play with their friends or just want to be a douche about things. Last night I did not find a single game where I had competent team mates. When it’s one single person just having fun in the saferoom you can vote kick him no problem. A replacement should take his place rather quickly due to the drop in drop out nature of this game. But when 2 out of the 4 survivors are doing this you can bet your ass I’m going to call return to lobby and leave once the vote passes. Also… if you think you’re Arnold or some crap like that and can take on 3 to 4 specials on your own. You’re doing your team a disservice. By straying you’re openning yourself to an ambush or possibly the rest of the team. Once the alliance falls down to 3 it’s quite easy to take it appart with the right timing.

Rant over.
Play cooperatively and run like hell.

Oh yeah, playing as a zombie rocks.

Greetings all, without further ado, my Gears of War 2 review.

NXE!

Just a quick blurb! Most everyone will be getting NXE in 3 days. I managed to get into the preview’s last wave. It’s very nice. I like how things work now, I just wish it pulled data from XBL faster and seamlessly. The avatars don’t take up as much “emphase” as you would assume. Yes they’re there, but you don’t see them walking around or doing anything.

So, what do I like about this whole NXE thing? THEMES! I just put some picture I pulled from my PC as a background for my dashboard. Yes, PS3/PSP have been able to do this forever. They still allow you to customize the interface a whole lot more. But I’m happy with this. Now I have Nono and Dix-neuf as my background.

Gears of War 2 Limited Edition + Lancer

Hey all,

Last week Gears of War 2 got released. Unfortunately I did not have a pre-order at my local EBGames. I decided to indulge myself with the needless spending of my money on a lancer package amazon.ca was thankfully offering to my surprise. Last week came and went, no GoW2. Now that pretty much everyone’s gone through the campaign each with their respective grandmothers, I have finally receive my packages.

Fable II review

Greetings, after playing Lionhead’s Fable II to completion, I am now ready to post my review.  

I’ll start off with my initial thoughts. First off, I had only played some of the initial Fable previously, never delved too deep into the story or game itself. With this game being a sequel and all I can’t exactly tell you how it measures up to the previous version, I can tell you however that it seems to have had a warmer reception. Mostly because Peter Molyneux, the game’s director, didn’t promise the world this time.

Collectors Edition news (Fable 2)

Hi all!

I’m going to write a quick blurb for now. As many of you noticed on Tuesday, Fable 2’s gimped collectors edition had a small issue. Some copies, the ones without the orange xbox live stickers, didn’t come with your five by five (as major nelson calls them) for your special DLC. This issues as of right now is still not resolved however within minutes of this issue being raised microsoft set up a website for the master chiefless, covenant swordless folk to get their codes.

Verify the following link regularly, they hope to have this fixed by the 28th.

LINK!
