Metal Reviews

I KNEW I recognized that voice!

Tried the Aion beta at a friends place. Basically, it's WoW with a Korean (and in my opinion a much blander) design. I had some hopes for it to stand out in the crowd but I don't see it taking much audience from Azeroth any time soon.

Also gave a go at Champions Online. Now this is a far more interesting MMO from my point of view. Creating your own freak of a hero is great fun and while the game mechanics might not be anything revolutionary, it's fast paced and easy to get into. Yes it's the same ole quest, grind, level up thing but it's easier to forget in this universe.

And finally, I'm eager to start playing Empire: Total War. Got it in the mail a few days ago so it's time to start ruling the world.

I rented that game and played it on my sister's Wii, and it is seriously awesome. The commentary (with John and Greg Proops) is worth the price alone. Hilarious stuff.

wait for it... wait for it...

It's painful, but at least I know some people care.

So I picked up my pre-order of Dirt 2 yesterday and have had the chance to sit down and play it for a good several hours.Its different than the first to some degree,from the presentation,handling and even events.Less rally,more mixed modern xgames stuff,so if your expecting a Colin McRae straight up rally game those days are over,but then again most of gaming is over imho.Anyway,its fun,the first game to have me actually listen to the game though I still throw on my own music cuase their hyped great modern soundtrack sucks gorilla testicles.

But the game itself is fun,gorgeous at times and adopts some elements of Grid like the simple approach to cars and the replay feature(being able to rewind before a crash and play from there).A noticable thing though is,while granted I'm pretty good at racing games,I'm pretty far along in the career,and with a decent online mode,its pretty apparent they focused more on this than the singleplayer.I'd rate it a 3/5.Not the best game ever nor one that people should buy,but if your a racing fan and want a quick diversion inbetween Gran Turismo and Forza,its a fun choice.

I'm looking forward to Uncharted 2 and Ratchet & Clank Future:ACiT next month!ZOMGzorz!!11!Been playing old Might & Magic games and Heroes.

No I'm not.

Those googles are fucking pathetic. I mean you wanna wear them? Instead of playing call of duty work yourself out to join the special forces.

Scribblenauts. Great and clever little game. You should definitely try it if you own a DS.

Hell yeah, it comes out tomorrow here. I'm definitely getting it soon, looks awesome.

I picked up my copy after school, I swear to God it's impossible to frown while playing this game.

Currently playing Medieval 2 again, and Fallout 3 (now with all expansions except Mothership Zeta). And some CoD4, gradually getting better still. Especially on maps I was crap at before, like Pipeline. But I'm still best on Overgrown.

NHL 10!! best sports game ever!!!
