A Strategy Guide for your Strategy Guides
I watched the Spike TV Video Game Awards along with half of the Twitter population (at least it seemed that way). For those of you who do not follow me on Twitter, (@keripwny) here is my transcript and half-assed attempt at live blogging via Twitter during the show.
This week’s poll topic is one of extreme importance to me as of late, and it’s become even more important since midnight December 1st.
I have a ginormous stack of shame, and I really am ashamed of it. I always mean to finish my games, and if I know I’m not going to finish it, I sell it. So why don’t I finish some games? I can get burned out on a game if it’s exceptionally long or difficult, and at other times, I get distracted by something newer. I always say that when the releases slow down, I’ll pick back up a game from the stack of shame and finish it.
It doesn’t happen very often, unfortunately. [Read more…]
A majority of you appear to not really care about the Kinect at all. I’m going to guess it’s due to their lackluster launch library, lack of desire to play with motion controls, or a combination of the two. Either way, I’m going to ride this train just a little longer and ask which has your vote: the Kinect or the Move?
Thanks to my hubby, I now own a PlayStation Move, but I haven’t played with it (other than to make fun of its lollipop top) once. I have zero interest in Sports Champions, and I believe that the only other Move-compatible game I own is Heavy Rain. I want to play HR with the Move, but well you know, the Fall has happened. Been a little busy on the game front.
I’m looking forward to Sorcery next year, but I have to admit that I’m a little afraid for the Move. My Wii has been gathering dust for awhile now, something I doubt will change since I’m not into any of the retro games games coming out except for Zelda, which will be next year. I’m afraid that the Move will suffer a similar fate in my home and several others, and then despite Sony’s best intentions, the Move will be left to family games and shovelware. Hopefully it can get other games like Sorcery in the making.
I’ve made it no secret that I’m not interested in the Kinect since my experience with it at E3. However, this doesn’t mean that some game won’t come out that will absolutely captivate me. But then two other games just as enticing will have to come out, because I do my best not to buy consoles ($150 is close to console price) for just one game.
Besides, why would I really be interested in either? There are no strategy guides out yet for these games!
I foolishly thought that October would be a somewhat slow month for me in terms of games I want to purchase and play, so I could finish up my other games from this year before November hit. I was so very, very wrong.
It started last week with the release of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. I had never heard of this game before the reviews flooded in, and every single one of them was super positive. That alone isn’t enough to get me intrigued, but the premise of being forced to help someone escape (hence the title) drew me in instantly. It’s original, the story is based off of the Chinese Legend of Son Goku, and the graphics look amazing. I was instantly sold, and I picked up both the guide and game last week. [Read more…]
Because I couldn’t get my act together and post an article for today about how I can’t get my act together, here’s a funny video from the guys at CollegeHumor.com.
