The Post Game Show
Well I've spent some time with a few games. Kinda here to give you a review and some updates on them.
First off is the glitch overridden game of Hellgate London. My friend and I have taken a break from this game. We decided patch 1.0 comes out this month, we're gonna wait. Patch .6 game out recently, and it fixed some glitches. It fixed the glitch of not being able to see your partners while playing.
I hated this glitch. It's just annoying. There's some other glitches that were fixed, but that's the biggest one in my opinion. .7 is suppose to fix the memory issue. If you don't know what that is, after playing Hellgate for a while, the game crashes with an insufficient memory error.
1.0 will fix more glitches and add more content for subscribers. Exciting for me. Extra content including a new area of Stonehendge. That's cool. So like I said, we're waiting for patch 1.0.
However, I have a character that I'm playing with now by myself. I played some of that today. I wanted to test out the new patch and it turns out that I can play with DirectX 10 settings. It was kinda lagging near the end of my playing, but it worked well up to that point.
So Hellgate London is improving. If you haven't gotten the game yet, wait a few more months. It'll be ironed out.
My friend and I were playing Unreal Tournament 3 coop for the campeign. All I have to say is, That Kinda sucked. They story, just was bad. It stunk. Then it left you with a cliffhanger for the ending. I was like, "It was a bad story to begin with, why did you even bother making a cliffhanger for the ending!?"
It's still a very fun game to play though. I've always loved the series. Fasted paced, adrenaline pumping. It's all good. They've expanded on that by adding the hoverboard to vehicle maps. It gets you to the fighting faster. If you loved the previous games of the series, you will like Unreal Tournament 3. I kinda spoke everyhting I wanted to say in my previous post so yeah.
Mario Galaxy I suppose is next on my list. I hadn't planned to play this game so much and beat it so quickly. I just couldn't put the game down. It's an awesome game. Definitely the true successor of Mario 64. It has a few frustrating moments, but it's minimal enough that I continue on.
Right now I have beaten the game, but I still have seven stars left. I'm stuck on one of the forementioned frustrating parts. Not so great. I had to put the game down and do something to blow off some steam. So I went back to Gears of War. I still suggest that if you have a Wii, Mario Galaxy is a must have.
I'm somewhere in Act 3 of Gears of War. It kinda sucked that my saved file got deleted. Apparently that's a problem with the PC verison. Luckily I found a cheat that allows you to jump to any part of the game. Maybe it's chapter. I don't know. There's 35 of them is all I know. It's not checkpoint. Anyways I found the cheat and had minimal repeatage.
I like to play Gears. Although I was playing today, and I did something the hard way. Apparently I could just shoot a propane tank and it drops something on these big guys that take forever to kill. I'm being vague so not to ruin the game for you if you haven't played it.
The game is pretty creeping. I'm pretty tense when going through dark hallways, just because I know that the developers have put a freaking locust to jump out at you. And they have. I have to say the only time I had the Oh-Crap-Oh-crap-I'm-Freaking-Scared-for-my-life moment is when I was fighting the Berserker. There's very few things that can scare me more when I'm going against a scary thing, and I have to act as bate, and I can't kill it with a gun.
I think that's all the games that I have played. I played a little bit of Resident Evil Umbrella but not very much. I was playing the first stage and was thinking to myself, "Wow, this is a lot like House of the Dead 3." The enemies are almost the same. The first few bosses reminded my of the bosses in House of the Dead 3. It was kinda funny.
Anyways, finals week this week. I'm also having some minor surgery, so don't expect any updates for awhile. Don't worry. It's minor. I'll probably be back to posting in week or so.
And by the way, The picture is an actually screenshot of Microsoft's information on Unreal Tournament 3's rating. The messed up a little bit, don't you think?
