At the moment my game playing life revolves around:
Prince of Persia is great, am enjoying the story, the amusing conversations the characters have, and, as always, the awesome acrobatics.
Resistance 2, the sequel to ‘Resistance: Fall of Man’, is very samey. Have played for a number of hours and it’s not evolving. Turning, shooting, turning, shooting. *Yawn*
Killzone 2: More of the same ala Resistance 2, except even the bad guys never change here. But it is far more challenging, and will be satisfying to complete on that basis alone.
I think, really, I’m just waiting for the next Half-life 2 to come along. That game, even though it’s years old, really set the bar high. Speaking of which, I should open my Orange Box and start playing HL2 ep2 – I’ve owned it for over a year and it’s still in the wrapper. Same with Civilisation: Revolution.
Making a comeback to the playing circle soon will be:
- Mirror’s Edge – Great concept, fun to play, haven’t see anything like it before. Awesome game, but sidelined at the moment for the above three.
- Fallout 3 – After an extended period of playing went back and focused on work for months and didn’t get back into it. Want to complete it.
In hand-held news, they’re making excellent progress with the Pandora. It’s shaping up to be a great machine, and I’ll be excited to receive the finished article. I think it’ll end up replacing my current hand helds (psp, ds).
