More New Games *sigh*

Well, it's been a hectic month. Been busy with a LOT of D&D stuff. Don't worry, I have a few updates up and coming of Gars' journal. Have discovered Google SketchUp, which has sucked up so much time over the last few weeks. If you like 3D design, give it a shot. Ummm, what else. Oh yeah, the new games. I got...
  • Okami
  • Act of War: High Treason
  • Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods

Played Okami for all of... 30 minutes, and most of that was the opening. I'll dive into it at some point, but not right now. Umm, what else. Oh, I started up Act of War. It's tough, and for some reason it doesn't play well on my system, which is just retarded cause my system is awesome. Maybe I should invest in that 2nd video card at some point. Haven't even looked at B&W2.

Next, I was inspired by this. Someone who has never played any Final Fantasy games before, is going to play through them all, in Japanese, to help him brush up on the language. It's a noble endeavour, one I hope to emulate, except in English.

Progress: Final Fantasy 1, 8 hours, 9 minutes.

Just beat Lich, now I'm going through the Earthgift Shrine a few times to stock up on the special items. I know that there are much better items later on, but I figure I might as well get it out of the way now. Plus, it's a good place to level.

I went out today to try and nab Hotel Dusk: Room 215, but it was a no go. I will try again tomorrow and see what I manage to get. I was very tempted to pick up the FFXII Player's Guide, but decided against it... for now.

Ha! It wasn't a month this time!

Another period of time later and here I am again. Let's see. Dirge of Cerebus just came out so I'll be picking that up in the upcoming months. Also picked up a couple of sweet games: Civilization IV: Warlords Darwinia Now, I know Warlords is only an expansion, but it adds lots of cool features to the game, such as having Great Generals which can give experience to your armies, a Great Wall that actually appears on the map, even being able to play as the barbarians. Who doesn't want to loot and plunder... You'll pay for this Captain Planet! Darwinia though, that is an amazing game! You are an observer in a virtual theme park which is populated by these little guys called Darwins. A virus invades the system and it's up to you to help them take back their territory but protect them from harm while you do. You can't directly control the Darwinians, but you can nudge them in the right direction. I'll be playing through for a third time soon, not just because I li...

Part 2 of the World's Largest Dungeon and Cookies

Image
So first thing's first. Apparently my blog uses cookies and I'm supposed to have an automatic notice about them to let you know if you're from Europe. I don't know how to make that work right now so I'll just let you know here that I have never changed any cookie gathering code or anything like that. I just post about game stuff and really don't care about cookie information and will never look at it. Okay, second session progress. It was well over a month ago and I barely remembered what happened. It was a lot of twists and turns through endless corridors. There was an ogre who was all frontin' at first but after getting thumped he backed down. Below is approximately the path the party took. I don't remember any traps but they were sure to have been funny.

My Favourite Style

So, I really like the Art Deco style. Don't know why, but I do. Games that use this however are even better. Two that come to mind are Bioshock and LA Noire . The former came out at the end of summer, 2007. The latter has yet to come out, but should be by end of 2009, and I hope it doesn't become vaporware . I remember when I first played Bioshock . I had just gotten my 360 and only had the couple of games that came with it. Marvel Ultimate Alliance didn't interest me at all, despite my love of Marvel, and Forza Motorsport 2 was a racing game that would have eventually required skills to master I wasn't willing to develop. I started going through all the demos and arcade games available and downloaded everything that even looked remotely interesting. I came across Bioshock and thought I'd give it a try. Now I don't watch horror movies, and I've only played a couple horror games, and FPS's aren't really my thing, but this was different! The style...
