Well, for the time being, I'm busy with a few new games. N3, or otherwise known as Nintey Nine Nights, and other games. but for now, N3 and Dead rising take up most of my game time. It's a fairly staight forward war time game in the same vien of Dynasty warriors, though it takes the normal hack and slash and throws as much Fodder as you can handle into it. In one level, I counted close to neraly 2600 kills in less then 30 minutes. It's a hectic, but simple style of game play. Basicly, find enemies, and Slaughter them.
But, as it is, the game is more of the same for hack and slash. On the flip side, Dead rising continues to impress. The game is very intense and shows and amazing amount of diversity of action. While one would think that getting a weapon and smacking a zombie is straight foward, the game also throws some changes into the mix, like Cultists, or pshycotic boss enemies who have snapped from the nightmare of the zombie apocolipse. In fact, i just ran through a nut bag cop who was tourting young girls. From what I could tell, the game portrays teh girls as normal teens, while this older, heavy built female cop torments them for being pretty? How can you not enjoy defeating someone who is a bigiot, who takes pleasure in hurting the innocent just cause she thinks there dresing to skimpy?
Also good, Darkwatch, a fantastic first person shooter with a pretty unique story twist, but over all it's a solid game. It's halo with Vampires, what can you say? It's awesome.
Now, normally I don't talk about movies since this is mostly a game blog, but I have to say that if you have not seen the movie V for Vendetta, I would recommend it.
Ironicly, while it's mostly a story about revolution, it's also ironic that it shows what happens when people allow one group to become dominant. While in the movie it's a neo con group that turns facisit, it's ironicly that in both parties, we have people follwoing almost iconicly bad choices.
But, either way, V for vendetta is a reminder that, freedom is more then a word, its and idea, a perspective, and that it must be fought for to be kept.
So check that out.
Anyway, Among other news, jack thompson is back from a long silence. His current target is an old target. Rockstar recently released information about the new game bully, showing it to be nothing like jack thompson and other critics have portrayed, a sign once again that they were jumping the gun and being foolish in condemming a game that was not even finished at the time.
Of note, jack recently tried to force Rockstar to give him an adanced copy of the game so that he can "Evaluate it". He's about the last person on this earth who should "evaluate a game", mainly cause he or anyone he would select would be part of his sad little agenda. This reeks of fear, for jack knows if bully gets a T rating, and is nothing like he claims, then Rockstar has months and months of his "Columbine simulator" bs to level an enormous slander suit against him.
So now he's trying to force them to release the game to him early to shift blame from his scarmongering and foolishness, to try and blame the ESRB and rockstar, claiming there "hiding" the game to keep the public unaware. Never mind that the whole game may have been completely rewritten, could have been rebuilt, and god knows what, but, regardless, it's not yet gone GOLD, and infact, may still be undergoing testing.
So, the question is, did jack go through with his lawsuit, which he threatened to do if Rockstar didn't give him the game. The didn't, but theres not been any confirmation other then a threat from Jack to file suit, which, so far,was never confirmed. Interesting.
Oh well, what ever. Liars like jack thompson are beneath me, but then again, he's also beneath most anything with a brain, as he lacks one himself. |
