Wow


I feel like the worst blogger in the entire world. A lot of crap has hit the fan recently; between work, school, and other obligations I have been utterly useless. Well, I beat Dead Space 2 and Homefront and had a StarCraft 2 super phase going on for a while. Dead Space 2: Five Freaking Stars out of five. Homefront: Five Freaking Stars out of five. Dead Space 2 was a nearly perfect game for me. The only complaint I actually have is that there was no really big bosses like there was in the first game. Everything else (sound, visuals, story, characters, gameplay) was perfect. Homefront was one of the best Fps's I have played in a long time. The story was dark and realistic and the fake war really hit home. The reason Homefront was so fantastic for me was the story. I play games to have fun and to hear an awesome story, so Homefront was a home-run for me. It had some glitch-tastic moments sometimes, but it was worth it. The Call of Duty controls were unfortunate, but I'll live.
This brings me to a point I really need to discuss. I was not bothered by the short length of Homefront or Dead Space: Extraction. The story was told and when the story needed to end it ended. If every game in the universe decided to be super short and dumb, I'd pop a cap, however these two games were okay for me. I like to relive the stories of these games and a few others ( Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Video Game, Uncharted 2...), but other games itsy bitsy lengths piss me off. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Force Unleashed 2... Those are just lazy, and no I will not play your multiplayer Modern Warfare 2. It is broken.
So, in conclusion, I apologize for being busy. Thank you for reading and I will try harder to write for you. I have a few more ideas already ;)

Wow it's been a long time!!!! BUT! Today is a special day :) Dead Space 2 came out today and it is AWESOME. The Dead Space series has always held a special place in my heart. Dead Space one was beautiful and fantastic in every way. Extraction is my favorite Wii game and one of the greatest games I have ever played. The characters in it were fantastically well done and let's just say I got suuuuuper into that game. Dead Space 2 has not disappointed. The opening chapter is ridiculously well done. Dead Space has always had strong openings, but I think this one takes the cake. Another awesome thing is that the telekinesis doesn't suck now. In Dead Space one, you would pick up something pointy and chuck it and you might as well be chucking a marshmallow at the oncoming Necromorphs. The atmosphere, lighting, gun play, kinesis, enemies(The pack and stalkers are so scary and awesome), and everything are all fantastic so far. One large complaint though. The PS3 versions online isssssss, busted. The EA servers are emitting huge amounts of suck :/ But I'm pretty sure they are fixing it. Hopefully soon. Well, that's just a minor complaint. Dead Space 2 is fantastic. Buy it!!!!!
